“Our strong second-quarter results reflect the perseverance of the Dine Brands system as comp sales for both brands improved significantly. I’m thankful to our teams who have worked so hard to serve our guests and enhance the restaurant experience,” said John Peyton, chief executive officer of Dine Brands Global, Inc.

Mr. Peyton added, “Both Applebee’s and IHOP continue to make meaningful progress in a challenging environment. Relative to 2019, Applebee’s posted its best quarterly comp sales performance in over a decade. IHOP’s second-quarter comp sales improved markedly relative to 2019. Our solid fundamentals generated significant adjusted free cash flow and enabled us to maintain a healthy cash position. Our business is built to win thanks to our two iconic brands. Our franchisees are emerging from the pandemic with stable fundamentals. I’m confident we will continue to build on this momentum as we further accelerate innovation, while also focusing on our guests’ needs and accelerating growth.”

Vance Chang, chief financial officer, added, “We are very pleased with the progress we have made in the second quarter. Looking ahead, our optimism is somewhat tempered by continued volatility, which include labor shortages and variants of COVID-19. We remain steadfast in executing our strategy to improve profitability and accelerate sustainable growth.”

Second Quarter of 2021 Summary

  • GAAP earnings per diluted share of $1.69 for the second quarter of 2021 compared to a net loss per diluted share of $8.33 for the second quarter of 2020. This variance was primarily due to non-cash impairment charges incurred in the second quarter of 2020 totaling $106.5 million related to the write-downs of Applebee’s goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and higher gross profit. There were no similar impairments in the second quarter of 2021.
  • Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.94 for the second quarter of 2021 compared to an adjusted net loss per diluted share of $0.87 for the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher gross profit. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share.)
  • General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were $39.3 million compared to $30.9 million for the second quarter of 2020. The variance was mainly due to higher incentive compensation accrual.
  • Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2021 was $71.7 million compared to $12.1 million for the second quarter of 2020. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP net income to consolidated adjusted EBITDA.)
  • Development activity by Applebee’s and IHOP franchisees resulted in the opening of 10 new restaurants.

First Six Months of 2021 Summary

  • GAAP earnings per diluted share of $3.19 for the first six months of 2021 compared to a net loss per diluted share of $6.96 for the first six months of 2020. This variance was primarily due to non-cash impairment charges incurred in the first six months of 2020 totaling $106.5 million related to the write-downs of Applebee’s goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and higher gross profit. There were no similar impairments in the first six months of 2021.
  • Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $3.67 for the first six months of 2021 compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.61 for the first six months of 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher gross profit. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share.)
  • General and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2021 were $79.2 million compared to $68.5 million for the first six months of 2020. The variance was mainly due to higher incentive compensation accrual.
  • Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2021 was $129.9 million. This compares to $73.8 million for the first six months of 2020. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP net income to consolidated adjusted EBITDA.)
  • Cash flows from operating activities for the first six months of 2021 were $106.0 million. This compares to cash used in operating activities of $10.5 million for the first six months of 2020. The increase was mainly due to an improvement in gross profit, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses.
  • The Company generated adjusted free cash flow of $107.3 million for the first six months of 2021. This compares to negative adjusted free cash flow of $12.4 million for the first six months of 2020. The increase is primarily due to the improvement in cash flows from operating activities discussed above. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of the Company’s cash provided by operating activities to adjusted free cash flow.)
  • Development activity by Applebee’s and IHOP franchisees resulted in the opening of 20 new restaurants.

Cash Position

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $348.0 million of total cash and cash equivalents, of which $259.5 million was unrestricted cash. The Company believes that its asset-light business model and cash position will continue to provide strong liquidity as the recovery from the pandemic continues.

As of June 30, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2021, $3.3 million was pledged against the revolving credit facility for outstanding letters of credit.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s leverage ratio was 4.94x compared to 7.02x as of March 31, 2021. As a result, quarterly principal payments on the Company’s fixed rate senior secured notes will no longer be required after a $3.25 million principal payment is made in September 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s debt service coverage ratio was approximately 4.6x compared to 3.45x as of March 31, 2021.

The Company voluntarily reduced its interest reserve on its fixed rate senior secured notes in the second quarter of 2021 back to the required $16.4 million due to the strong improvement in the Company’s business over the last 12 months.

GAAP Effective Tax Rate

The Company’s effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2021 was a 24.0% tax expense compared to an 8.2% tax benefit for the second quarter of 2020. The Company’s effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2021 was significantly different than the rate for the same quarter of last year primarily due to the non-deductible impairment of goodwill in the second quarter of 2020, which reduced the overall tax benefit generated by the pre-tax book loss.

Financial Performance Guidance for 2021

The Company believes that its consolidated financial results for 2021 could continue to be materially impacted by COVID-19. Considering the ongoing uncertainty of the pandemic and the possible emergence of new variants, the Company currently cannot provide a complete business outlook for fiscal 2021. The Company’s guidance assumes there are no significant disruptions to its business due to COVID-19 during the second half of fiscal 2021. The projections are as of this date. The Company assumes no obligation to update or supplement this information.

  • The Company expects higher incentive compensation for 2021, which is a variable component of general and administrative expenses that will fluctuate based on business performance. As such, the Company revises expectations for general and administrative expenses for 2021 to range between approximately $168 million and $178 million, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense and depreciation of approximately $30 million. This compares to previous expectations for general and administrative expenses for 2021 to range between approximately $160 million and $170 million.
  • The Company reiterates capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $19 million, inclusive of approximately $7 million related to the company restaurants segment.

Domestic System Reopening Update

As of June 30, 2021, out of 3,244 domestic restaurants, 3,222, or 99%, were open for either dine-in service or off-premise service comprised of take-out and delivery, and 22 were temporarily closed. This compares to as of March 31, 2021, when out of 3,256 domestic restaurants, 3,224, or 99%, were open for either dine-in service or off-premise service comprised of take-out and delivery, and 32 were temporarily closed.

You can identify these forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal” and other similar expressions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes references to the Company's non-GAAP financial measure “adjusted net income available to common stockholders”, “adjusted earnings per diluted share (Adjusted EPS)”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted free cash flow.” Adjusted EPS is computed for a given period by deducting from net income or loss available to common stockholders for such period the effect of any closure and impairment charges, any gain or loss related to debt extinguishment, any intangible asset amortization, any non-cash interest expense, any gain or loss related to the disposition of assets, and other items deemed not reflective of current operations. This is presented on an aggregate basis and a per share (diluted) basis. Adjusted EBITDA is computed for a given period by deducting from net income or loss for such period the effect of any closure and impairment charges, any interest charges, any income tax provision or benefit, any non-cash stock-based compensation, any depreciation and amortization, any gain or loss related to the disposition of assets and other items deemed not reflective of current operations. “Adjusted free cash flow” for a given period is defined as cash provided by operating activities, plus receipts from notes and equipment contracts receivable, less capital expenditures. Management may use certain of these non-GAAP financial measures along with the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of the business and to make certain business decisions. Management uses adjusted free cash flow in its periodic assessments of, among other things, the amount of cash dividends per share of common stock and repurchases of common stock and we believe it is important for investors to have the same measure used by management for that purpose. Adjusted free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes. Additionally, adjusted EPS is one of the metrics used in determining payouts under the Company’s annual cash incentive plan. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional meaningful information that should be considered when assessing the business and the Company’s performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace. Adjusted EPS and adjusted free cash flow are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

Reconciliation of the Company's cash provided by operating activities to “adjusted free cash flow” (cash provided by operating activities, plus receipts from notes and equipment contracts receivable, less additions to property and equipment). Management uses this liquidity measure in its periodic assessments of, among other things, the amount of cash dividends per share of common stock and repurchases of common stock. We believe it is important for investors to have the same measure used by management for that purpose. Adjusted free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes.

Reconciliation of the Company's net income (loss) to “adjusted EBITDA.” The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss, adjusted for the effect of impairment and closure charges, interest charges, income tax provision or benefit, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, gain or loss on disposition of assets, other non-income based taxes and other items deemed not reflective of current operations. Management may use certain non-GAAP measures along with the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of the Company and to make certain business decisions.

Restaurant Data

(Unaudited)

The following table sets forth, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the number of “Effective Restaurants” in the Applebee’s and IHOP systems and information regarding the percentage change in sales at those restaurants compared to the same periods in the prior year and, as such, the percentage change in sales at Effective Restaurants is based on non-GAAP sales data. Sales at restaurants that are owned by franchisees and area licensees are not attributable to the Company. However, we believe that presentation of this information is useful in analyzing our revenues because franchisees and area licensees pay us royalties and advertising fees that are generally based on a percentage of their sales, and, where applicable, rental payments under leases that partially may be based on a percentage of their sales. Management also uses this information to make decisions about future plans for the development of additional restaurants as well as evaluation of current operations.

Restaurant Data

(Unaudited)

(a)

“Effective Restaurants” are the weighted average number of restaurants open in a given fiscal period, adjusted to account for restaurants open for only a portion of the period. Information is presented for all Effective Restaurants in the Applebee’s and IHOP systems, which includes restaurants owned by franchisees and area licensees as well as those owned by the Company. Effective Restaurants do not include units operated as ghost kitchens (small kitchens with no store-front presence, used to fill off-premise orders).

 

(b)

“System-wide” sales are retail sales at domestic Applebee’s restaurants operated by franchisees and IHOP restaurants operated by franchisees and area licensees, as reported to the Company, in addition to retail sales at company-operated restaurants. System-wide sales do not include retail sales of ghost kitchens. Sales at restaurants that are owned by franchisees and area licensees are not attributable to the Company. An increase or decrease in franchisees' reported sales will result in a corresponding increase or decrease in our royalty revenue. Unaudited reported sales for Applebee's domestic franchise restaurants, Applebee's company-operated restaurants, IHOP franchise restaurants and IHOP area license restaurants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

“Sales percentage change” reflects, for each category of restaurants, the percentage change in sales in any given fiscal period compared to the prior fiscal period for all restaurants in that category.

 

(d)

“Domestic same-restaurant sales percentage change” reflects the percentage change in sales, in any given fiscal period, compared to the same weeks in the prior year for domestic restaurants that have been operated during both fiscal periods that are being compared and have been open for at least 18 months. Because of new unit openings and restaurant closures, the domestic restaurants open during both fiscal periods being compared may be different from period to period.
