Dine Brands Global, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2022 Results

Applebee’s and IHOP Achieve Positive Comparable Sales; Average Weekly Sales Exceed Q2 2019

Company Reaffirms 2022 Financial Performance Guidance

Company Repurchased 912,992 Shares and Returned $61 Million to Shareholders

Applebee’s and IHOP Franchisees Opened 14 New Restaurants

GLENDALE, Calif., August 9, 2022 – Dine Brands Global, Inc. (NYSE: DIN), the parent company of Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill + Bar® and IHOP® restaurants, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2022.

“Thanks to the hard work of our team members and franchisees, Dine delivered a solid performance in the second quarter. Sustained off-premise traffic and continued recovery of dine-in contributed to positive comparable restaurant sales, driving average weekly sales at both brands above pre-pandemic levels” said John Peyton, chief executive officer of Dine Brands Global, Inc. “While the backdrop we are all operating in remains challenging, I’m confident we are well positioned for the current environment and for the long-term. Applebee’s and IHOP are both value leaders in their categories with long track records of executing enhanced value and marketing propositions that meet guests where they are.”

Vance Chang, chief financial officer, added, “We remain cautiously optimistic about Dine’s near-term outlook and are reaffirming our 2022 guidance. Our strong balance sheet and asset-light model protect us in this volatile and inflationary environment, as we continue to return capital to shareholders. Our focus on delivering long term restaurant profitability continues, which we believe remains a key driver to our franchisee’s ongoing investments in growth.”

Domestic Restaurant Sales for the Second Quarter of 2022

 

   

Applebee’s year-over-year comparable same-restaurant sales increased 1.8% for the second quarter of 2022. Off-premise sales accounted for 25.6% of sales mix, representing average weekly sales of approximately $13,900.

 

   

IHOP’s year-over-year comparable same-restaurant sales increased 3.6% for the second quarter of 2022. Off-premise sales accounted for 21.3% of sales mix, representing average weekly sales of approximately $8,300.

Second Quarter of 2022 Summary

 

   

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2022 were $237.8 million compared to $233.6 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to positive comparable same restaurant sales growth at both brands.

 

   

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2022 was $66.1 million compared to $71.7 million for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to G&A investments as well as the impact from inflation on our company restaurant operations. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP net income to consolidated adjusted EBITDA.)

 

   

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were $44.1 million compared to $39.3 million for the second quarter of 2021. The variance was primarily due to strategic growth investments as well as higher personnel-related costs and travel-related costs to support franchisees, associated with the return to normal operations.

 

   

GAAP earnings per diluted share of $1.45 for the second quarter of 2022 compared to earnings per diluted share of $1.69 for the second quarter of 2021. The variance was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses and a decrease in gross profit, partially offset by a decrease in closure and impairment charges.

 

   

Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.65 for the second quarter of 2022 compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.94 for the second quarter of 2021. The variance was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses and a decrease in gross profit, partially offset by lower income tax expense. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share.)

 

   

Development activity by Applebee’s and IHOP franchisees for the second quarter of 2022 resulted in the opening of 14 new restaurants and the closure of 8 restaurants.

First Six Months of 2022 Summary

 

   

Total revenues for the first six months of 2022 were $468.2 million compared to $437.8 million for the first six months of 2021. The increase was primarily due to strong comparable same restaurant sales growth at both brands.

 

   

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2022 was $131.3 million. This compares to $129.9 million for the first six months of 2021. The increase was primarily due to strong comparable same restaurant sales growth at both brands offset by strategic growth investments as well as higher expenses associated with return to normal operations. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP net income to consolidated adjusted EBITDA.)

 

   

General and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2022 were $85.6 million compared to $79.2 million for the first six months of 2021. The variance was primarily due to strategic growth investments as well as higher personnel-related costs and travel-related costs to support franchisees, associated with the return to normal operations.

 

   

GAAP earnings per diluted share of $2.90 for the first six months of 2022 compared to earnings per diluted share of $3.19 for the first six months of 2021. The variance was primarily due to higher income tax expense and an increase in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in gross profit and a decrease in closure and impairment charges.

 

   

Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $3.19 for the first six months of 2022 compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $3.67 for the first six months of 2021. The variance was primarily due to higher income tax expense and an increase in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in gross profit and lower interest expense. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share.)

 

   

Cash flows from operating activities for the first six months of 2022 were $29.9 million. This compares to cash provided from operating activities of $106.0 million for the first six months of 2021. The decline was primarily due to the change in working capital, reflecting the one-time collection of franchisee deferrals in the first six months of 2021, payments made in the first six months of 2022 related to higher incentive compensation earned in 2021 and the timing of marketing disbursements.

 

   

The Company had adjusted free cash flow of $23.1 million for the first six months of 2022. This compares to adjusted free cash flow of $107.3 million for the first six months of 2021. (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 for the first six months of 2022 resulted in the opening of 25 new restaurants and the closure of 19 restaurants.

Key Balance Sheet Metrics (as of June 30, 2022)

GAAP Effective Tax Rate

The Company’s effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 26.3% compared to 24.0% for second quarter of 2021. The variance was primarily due to the decrease of unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the closing of a state audit in the second quarter of 2021.

Capital Return to Shareholders

The Company repurchased 912,992 shares of its common stock in the second quarter of 2022 for a total of approximately $61 million.

On May 12, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared and approved a 11% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.51 per share of common stock. The dividend was paid on July 8, 2022, to the Company’s stockholders of record at the close of business on June 20, 2022.

Domestic development activity by Applebee’s franchisees to result in between 5 and 15 net fewer restaurants.

 

   

Domestic development activity by IHOP franchisees and area licensees to result in net new openings between 50 and 65 restaurants.

 

   

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA to range between approximately $235 million and $250 million. This range is inclusive of adjusted EBITDA related to the company restaurants segment.

 

   

General and administrative expenses to range between approximately $188 million and $198 million, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense and depreciation of approximately $30 million. This range reflects incremental investments in technology and operational initiatives as well as unit development and is inclusive of general and administrative expenses related to the company restaurants segment.

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 flows provided by operating activities to “adjusted free cash flow” (cash flows 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.

Restaurant Data

(Unaudited)

The following table sets forth, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 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.

(a)

“Global 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, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

(c)

“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.
