DineEquity, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results

GLENDALE, CA--(Marketwire - July 29, 2008) - DineEquity, Inc. (NYSE: DIN), franchisor and operator of Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar and IHOP restaurants, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

For the second quarter 2008, the Company reported a net loss available to common stockholders of $23.7 million, or a net loss per diluted share available to common stockholders of $1.42. The loss was primarily due to a non-cash impairment charge of $41.1 million related to the sale-leaseback of 181 company-owned Applebee's restaurant properties, reflecting a deterioration in domestic real estate and credit markets over the past seven months. Excluding the impairment charges, the Company reported an 88.5% decrease in net income available to common stockholders to $1.6 million, or an 87.8% decrease in net income per diluted share available to common stockholders to $0.10. The decreases were primarily due to increased expenses related to the Applebee's acquisition.

The Company generated $56.8 million of cash flow from operating activities in the first six months of 2008, a 141% increase from the first six months of 2007. The Company's cash position in the first six months of 2008 was further augmented by $7.9 million from the run-off of the IHOP business' long-term notes receivable. Consolidated capital expenditures were $23.2 million in the first six months of 2008. Free cash flow for the six month period was $41.5 million. See "References to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Julia A. Stewart, DineEquity's chairman and chief executive officer, said, "We are pleased with the second quarter 2008 performance of the IHOP business, and are optimistic about the progress we continue to make on our plans to re-energize and transform the Applebee's brand and business model. IHOP's success is the result of focused execution of our core marketing, operations and development strategies, and the IHOP team continues to deliver on all fronts. This level of performance is indicative of the type of sustainable system momentum that we envision is possible at Applebee's as we apply similar strategies."

Applebee's Second Quarter 2008 Performance Detail

The following is a summary of key performance drivers of DineEquity's Applebee's business unit for the second quarter 2008:


-- During the quarter, franchisees opened 11 new Applebee's restaurants.

-- Applebee's system-wide domestic same-store sales decreased 1.7% for
the second quarter 2008, primarily due to advertised promotions that did
not perform as expected in a value-oriented competitive environment.
Applebee's will roll out value offerings beginning in August 2008 to
compete more effectively and to drive improved traffic performance.

-- On a pro forma basis, which compares second quarter 2008 results for
Applebee's franchise operations segment to the same period last year,
Applebee's franchise operations profitability grew 2.8% to $37.1 million
due to a 3.7% increase in effective units, which offset a 1.8% decrease in
domestic franchise same-store sales for the second quarter 2008.

-- On a pro forma basis, which compares second quarter 2008 results for
Applebee's company operations segment to the same period last year, sales
at Applebee's company-operated restaurants decreased 0.9% to $292.9 million
primarily due to a 1.5% decrease in same-store sales for the second quarter
2008. Operating margin improved 120 basis points to 12.7% compared to an
11.5% operating margin, excluding pre-opening expense of 0.2%, in the
second quarter last year. As a percentage of sales, food and beverage costs
and labor costs increased by 30 basis points on a consolidated basis. This
was offset by an approximate 170 basis point improvement in net
depreciation and rental expense related to extending the useful lives of
restaurant assets due to purchase price allocation. Together, these
operating margin performance factors resulted in an 11.8% increase in
segment profitability to $37.2 million in the second quarter 2008.



Stewart commented, "We continue to work through our performance improvement plan on Applebee's. During the second quarter 2008, we introduced a new advertising campaign and completed successful promotion testing aimed at driving guest traffic. We appointed Mike Archer president of Applebee's to help lead the revitalization of the business. Applebee's same-store sales performance did not meet our expectations and company operating margin improvement did not materialize. We will launch a value promotion system-wide as soon as August, and believe this will benefit our same-store sales performance as well as contribute to Applebee's company restaurant margins in line with expected sales improvements during the second half of 2008."

IHOP Second Quarter 2008 Performance Details

The following is a summary of key performance drivers of DineEquity's IHOP's business unit for the second quarter 2008:


-- During the quarter, franchisees opened 15 new IHOP restaurants.

-- IHOP's system-wide same-store sales increased 2.6% for the second
quarter 2008, which produced the business' 22nd consecutive quarter of
positive same-store sales growth and reflected positive traffic growth for
the system. IHOP's growth was supported primarily by unique limited-time
offers such as Tour de French Toast and Discover America Pancakes, as well
as promotional activities around IHOP's year-long 50th birthday
celebration.

-- IHOP's core franchising business reflected revenue growth of 5.9% to
$49.7 million compared to the same quarter last year due to a 4.2% increase
in effective units and the business' solid same-store sales results for the
second quarter 2008. IHOP's franchise operations expense increased 2.1%,
resulting in a 9.1% increase in segment profitability to $27.9 million for
the second quarter 2008.


Stewart commented, "IHOP's performance for the second quarter 2008 reflects our proven financial formula for success, which is centered on driving top line sales through new franchise restaurant openings and same-store sales growth while moderating G&A spending. This approach has allowed us to maximize the benefits of IHOP's high cash flow generating franchise business model. Recently, we appointed Des Hague president of IHOP Restaurants, and, with his leadership, we plan to build upon IHOP's success and take our growth strategies to the next level."

Progress on Applebee's Business Model Transformation

The following is a summary of the key developments of the business model transformation for Applebee's:


-- DineEquity completed the sale-leaseback of 181 company-owned
Applebee's restaurant properties during the second quarter 2008. This
transaction generated approximately $303 million in proceeds net of taxes
and closing costs. The Company also sold one additional Applebee's
restaurant property during the second quarter 2008, generating
approximately $1.7 million in after-tax cash proceeds.

-- DineEquity repaid approximately $303 million of $350 million in
consolidated short-term funded debt during the second quarter 2008.

-- Subsequent to quarter end, Applebee's generated $27 million in after-
tax cash proceeds from the sale of 26 company-operated restaurants in the
Southern California market, in line with its strategy to franchise the
majority of Applebee's company-operated restaurants. The Company completed
the sale-leaseback of Applebee's corporate office building in Lenexa,
Kansas, for approximately $39 million in after-tax cash proceeds. These
transactions enabled the Company to retire the remainder of its $350
million consolidated short-term funded debt on July 21, 2008. The Company
avoided the incurrence of make-whole payments that would have otherwise
been due on those debt obligations.

-- During the quarter, Applebee's also signed an asset purchase agreement
for the sale of three company restaurants in Delaware with an expected
closing date during the third quarter 2008. DineEquity expects to complete
the sale of its 15 company restaurants in Nevada in the fourth quarter
2008, as previously announced.

-- DineEquity is reiterating its expectation of franchising approximately
100 company-operated Applebee's restaurants in 2008. However, the majority
of restaurants expected to be sold during the remainder of the year consist
of those with profit margins below the company-operated average. As a
result, the Company expects after-tax cash proceeds from franchising
company-operated Applebee's to range between $70 and $80 million this year.


2008 Performance Guidance

The following is a summary of DineEquity expectations for key financial metrics for fiscal 2008:


-- The Company revised its consolidated cash from operations expectations
to range between $95 and $100 million for fiscal 2008. This revision
reflects increased tax obligations related to the sale-leaseback of 181
Applebee's company-owned restaurant properties, being offset in part by
higher cash earnings. On an overall cash basis, this decrease will be
offset by a reduction in restricted cash associated with the sale-leaseback
transaction. The Company's revised outlook on cash from operations compares
to its previous expectation which ranged between $105 and $110 million for
fiscal 2008.

-- The Company's cash performance is expected to be augmented by
approximately $17 million from the structural run-off of the IHOP business
unit's long-term notes receivable in fiscal 2008.

-- The Company reiterated its expectation that consolidated capital
expenditures will range between $30 and $34 million for fiscal 2008.

-- The Company's revised expectation is that consolidated free cash flow
will range between $78 and $87 million for fiscal 2008, in line with its
revised cash from operations outlook for the year.

-- The Company reiterated its expectation of producing system-wide same-
store sales growth at IHOP in the range of 2% to 4% for fiscal 2008. The
Company expects system-wide domestic same-store sales growth for Applebee's
to range between negative 1% and positive 1% for fiscal 2008.

-- The Company reiterated its expectation that consolidated G&A expense
will range between $186 and $199 million in fiscal 2008.

-- The Company reiterated its expectations that franchisees and its area
licensee will open between 65 and 70 new IHOP restaurants this year, and
that franchisees will open between 50 and 65 new Applebee's restaurants in
fiscal 2008.

-- The Company reiterated its expectation to improve Applebee's company
operating margin by approximately 150 to 200 basis points for the full-year
2008. The Company now expects this improvement to result primarily from a
net depreciation and rental expense benefit due to purchase price
accounting, as well as from ongoing operational improvement initiatives.

-- The Company's revised expectation is that depreciation and
amortization will range between $105 and $115 million, in fiscal 2008 due
to further purchase price accounting adjustments primarily related to
Applebee's restaurants assets. This compares to the Company's previous
expectation which ranged between $115 and $125 million this year.

-- The Company reiterated its expectation that interest expense would be
approximately $203 million in fiscal 2008. Approximately $40 million of
this interest expense is attributable to non-cash items primarily
associated with financing related costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release includes references to the Company's "net income available to common stockholders, excluding impairment charges" and the non-GAAP financial measure "free cash flow." The former is computed for a given period by deducting from net (loss) income available to common stockholders for such period the effect of any loss related to impairment and closure charges incurred in such period. This is presented on an aggregate basis and a per share (diluted) basis. For the latter, the Company defines "free cash flow" for a given period as cash provided by operating activities, plus receipts from notes and equipment contracts receivable ("long-term notes receivable"), less capital expenditures. Management utilizes free cash flow to determine the amount of cash remaining for general corporate and strategic purposes after the receipts from long-term notes receivable, and the funding of operating activities and capital expenditures. Management believes this information is helpful to investors to determine the Company's cash available for these purposes. Free cash flow is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The following table reconciles the Company's cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow for the Company's fiscal 2008 performance guidance:

IHOP BUSINESS UNIT

The following table sets forth, for the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30 of the current year and prior year, the number of effective
restaurants in the IHOP system and information regarding the percentage
change in sales at those restaurants compared to the same periods in the
prior year. "Effective restaurants" are the number of restaurants in a
given period, adjusted to account for restaurants open for only a portion
of the period. Information is presented for all effective restaurants in
the IHOP system, which includes IHOP restaurants owned by the Company, as
well as those owned by franchisees and area licensees. 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, as well as rental payments under
leases that are usually 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. Pro forma information on Applebee's restaurant data and
restaurant development and franchising activity is presented in the
section entitled "Pro Forma Comparison of Three Months and Six Months
ended June 30, 2008 with Three Months and Six Months ended June 30,
2007 -- Applebee's" herein.

2008, respectively, and sales at area license restaurants were $53.9
million and $111.3 million for the second quarter and first six months

license restaurants were $52.8 million and $108.3 million for the
second quarter and first six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.
Sales at restaurants that are owned by franchisees and area licensees
are not attributable to the Company.

(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) "Same store sales percentage change" reflects the percentage change in
sales, in any given fiscal period compared to the prior fiscal period,
for 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 store closures, the restaurants open
throughout both fiscal periods being compared will be different from
period to period. Same store sales percentage change does not include
data on restaurants located in Florida.

and information regarding the percentage change in sales at those
restaurants compared to the same period in the prior year.

(a) "Effective restaurants" are the number of restaurants 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 system, which includes restaurants owned by Applebee's
as well as those owned by franchisees and international licensees.

(b) "System-wide sales" are sales of Applebee's restaurants operated by
franchisees and Applebee's as reported to the Company. The Company
acquired Applebee's International, Inc. on November 29, 2007. Domestic
franchise restaurant sales for Applebee's restaurants were $859.7
million and $852.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007, respectively and $1,757.5 million and $1,727.7 million for the
six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Franchise restaurant
sales are sales recorded at restaurants that are owned by franchisees
and are not attributable to either the Company or Predecessor
Applebee's. Franchise restaurant sales are useful in analyzing our
franchise revenues because franchisees pay royalties and other fees
that are generally based on a percentage of their sales.

(c) "Sales percentage change" reflects, for each category of restaurants,
the percentage change in sales in any given fiscal year compared to
the prior fiscal year for all restaurants in that category. All
periods for company-owned Applebee's restaurants exclude the impact
of discontinued operations.

(d) "Same-store sales percentage change" reflects the percentage change in
sales, in any given fiscal year compared to the prior fiscal year, for
restaurants that have been operated throughout both fiscal periods
