GLENDALE, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - July 29, 2014 - DineEquity, 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 2014.

"We delivered successful results for the second quarter, driven by the continued focus on our strategic objectives," said Julia A. Stewart, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DineEquity, Inc. Ms. Stewart added, "We are very pleased to announce that IHOP and Applebee's reported positive same-restaurant sales and outperformed their respective categories based on industry sales data. We are doing the work necessary to drive long-term success at both of our brands. In addition, we continue to generate substantial free cash flow, tightly manage our general and administrative expenses, and return significant cash to shareholders.

Second Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights

  • Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $22.1 million, representing adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.16 for the second quarter of 2014. This compares to $19.7 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.02, for the second quarter of 2013. Adjusted earnings per diluted share increased by 14% compared to the second quarter of 2013. The improvement in adjusted net income was due to higher segment profit, lower general and administrative expenses, and lower cash interest expense. These items were partially offset by higher income taxes. (See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.)
  • GAAP net income available to common stockholders was $18.9 million, or earnings per diluted share of $1.00, for the second quarter of 2014. This compares to $16.6 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.87, for the second quarter of 2013. Earnings per diluted share improved by 15% compared to the second quarter of 2013. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher segment profit, lower general and administrative expenses, and a gain on the disposition of assets in the second quarter of 2014 compared to a loss in the same period of 2013. These items were partially offset by higher income tax expense and an increase in closure and impairment charges.
  • General and administrative expenses were $34.8 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $35.6 million for the same period of 2013.

First Six Months of 2014 Highlights

  • Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $46.1 million in the first six months of 2014, representing adjusted earnings per diluted share of $2.43. This compares to $41.5 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $2.16, for the same period in 2013. Adjusted earnings per diluted share for the first six months of 2014 rose by 13% compared to the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily due to higher segment profit, lower general and administrative expenses, and a decline in cash interest expense. These items were partially offset by higher income taxes. (See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.)
  • GAAP net income available to common stockholders was $39.3 million in the first six months of 2014, or earnings per diluted share of $2.07, compared to $34.5 million, or earnings per diluted share of $1.80 for the same period in 2013. Earnings per diluted share for the first six months of 2014 improved by 15% compared to the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily due to higher segment profit, debt modification costs that occurred in the first six months of 2013 that did not recur in the first six months of 2014, and a decline in general and administrative expenses. These items were partially offset by higher income tax expense and a loss on the disposition of assets in the first six months of 2014 compared to a gain in the first six months of 2013.
  • General and administrative expenses were $69.0 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to $69.7 million for the same period of 2013.
  • EBITDA was $149.4 million for the first six months of 2014. (See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.)
  • For the first six months of 2014, cash flows from operating activities were $56.0 million and free cash flow was $50.0 million. (See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release includes references to the Company's non-GAAP financial measures "adjusted net income available to common stockholders (adjusted EPS)," "EBITDA," "free cash flow," and "segment EBITDA." "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 debt modification costs, and any gain or loss related to the disposition of assets. This is presented on an aggregate basis and a per share (diluted) basis. The Company defines "EBITDA" for a given period as income before income taxes less interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, depreciation and amortization, closure and impairment charges, non-cash stock-based compensation, gain or loss on disposition of assets and other charge backs as defined by its credit agreement. "Free cash flow" for a given period is defined as cash provided by operating activities, plus receipts from notes and equipment contracts receivable ("long-term notes receivable"), less principal payments on capital lease and financing obligations, the mandatory 1% of Term Loan principal balance repayment, and capital expenditures. "Segment EBITDA" for a given period is defined as gross segment profit plus depreciation and amortization as well as interest charges related to the segment. Management utilizes EBITDA for debt covenant purposes and free cash flow to determine the amount of cash remaining for general corporate and strategic purposes and for the return of cash to stockholders pursuant to our capital allocation strategy, after the receipts from long-term receivables, and the funding of operating activities, capital expenditures and debt service. Management believes this information is helpful to investors to determine the Company's adherence to debt covenants and the Company's cash available for these purposes. Adjusted EPS, EBITDA, free cash flow and segment EBITDA 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 United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Restaurant Data

The following table sets forth, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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. 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 may be partially 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)

 

"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 the Company as well as those owned by franchisees and area licensees.

     

(b)

 

"System-wide" sales are retail sales at 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. Sales at restaurants that are owned by franchisees and area licensees are not attributable to the Company. Unaudited reported sales for Applebee's domestic franchise restaurants, IHOP franchise restaurants and IHOP area license restaurants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

 

               
      Three Months Ended       Six Months Ended
      June 30,       June 30,
      2014     2013       2014     2013
      (In millions)

Reported sales (unaudited)

                               
Applebee's franchise restaurant sales     $ 1,150.7       $ 1,144.2         $ 2,333.8       $ 2,335.7
IHOP franchise restaurant sales     $ 669.5       $ 630.9         $ 1,349.8       $ 1,270.2
IHOP area license restaurant sales     $ 64.8       $ 61.3         $ 134.9       $ 126.2
                                         

 

(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 throughout 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 throughout both fiscal periods being compared may be different from period to period. Same-restaurant sales percentage change does not include data on IHOP area license restaurants located in Florida.
