DineEquity, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter 2008 Financial Results

Improved Expense Control Enhances Financial Flexibility

Glendale, CA--(Marketwire) - DineEquity, Inc. (NYSE: DIN), the parent company of Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar and IHOP Restaurants, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008.

The Company generated $110.8 million of cash flows from operating activities for fiscal 2008, a 4.2% increase compared to fiscal 2007. The Company's cash flows from operating activities for fiscal 2008 was further augmented by $15.8 million from the run-off of the IHOP business' long-term notes receivable, offset by consolidated capital expenditures of $31.8 million for fiscal 2008. Free cash flow for fiscal 2008 was $94.8 million (see "References to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below).

For the fourth quarter 2008, the Company reported a net loss available to common stockholders of $136.9 million, or a net loss per diluted share available to common stockholders of $8.15. The loss was primarily due to non-cash, after tax impairment charges of $148.3 million related to write downs of Applebee's goodwill and intangible assets. Excluding impairment charges for the fourth quarter 2008, the Company reported net income available to common stockholders of $5.7 million, or net income per diluted share available to common stockholders of $0.34.

Julia A. Stewart, DineEquity's chairman and chief executive officer, said, "Our results for the quarter and full year 2008 reflect the significant contraction of consumer spending in the second half of the year. We continue to believe that IHOP is well positioned to extend its lead in family dining even in this challenging economy, and we are taking significant steps to reposition the Applebee's brand in order to drive future growth. Additionally, we have taken proactive steps to maximize our financial flexibility and tighten expenses as we continue to manage our business for the long-term."

IHOP Performance Highlights


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


-- IHOP's system-wide same-store sales decreased 1.0% for the fourth
quarter 2008 compared to the same quarter last year and increased 1.5% for
fiscal 2008, reflecting higher average guest check and a reduction in guest
traffic for both periods. IHOP's marketing efforts during the quarter
included unique limited-time offers such as Fruit Crepe Fever and Coffee
Cake Pancakes supported by national advertising, holiday gift card and IHOP
'n Go carry out program advertising, along with restaurant level programs
aimed at driving the dinner day part.

-- During the quarter, franchisees and its Florida area licensee opened
26 new IHOP restaurants, bringing total fiscal 2008 new franchise openings
to 71 restaurants in the U.S., Mexico and Canada.

-- IHOP's franchising business generated revenue growth of 5.6% to $51.6
million for the fourth quarter 2008 compared to the same quarter last year
primarily due to a 3.5% increase in effective units during the quarter.
IHOP's franchise operations segment profitability increased 7.0% to $27.8
million for the fourth quarter 2008 compared to the same quarter last year.
Stewart commented, "Despite a difficult consumer environment, IHOP delivered a solid performance in 2008 due to the successful brand revitalization and operational improvement strategies employed over the past several years. These strategies of energizing the brand, improving operations and maximizing development remain as relevant today as they were when initiated in 2003, and will provide the framework for the IHOP team and our franchisees to sustain system momentum."

Applebee's Performance Highlights

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


-- Applebee's system-wide domestic same-store sales decreased 4.6% for
the fourth quarter 2008 compared to the same quarter last year and
decreased 2.2% for fiscal 2008. Same-store sales for Applebee's domestic
franchise restaurants decreased 4.7% for the fourth quarter 2008 compared
to the same quarter last year and decreased 2.4% for fiscal 2008. Same-
store sales for Applebee's company-operated restaurants decreased 4.2% for
the fourth quarter 2008 compared to the same quarter last year and
decreased 1.3% for fiscal 2008. Applebee's company-operated restaurant same-
store sales results for the fourth quarter 2008 reflected traffic declines,
which offset an increased average guest check that was primarily driven by
an effective pricing increase of nearly 4.0%. Applebee's marketing efforts
during the quarter included an enhanced value offering, Two for $20,
supported by national advertising, a holiday gift card promotion and the
continuation of Applebee's "It's a Whole New Neighborhood" campaign.

-- During the quarter, franchisees opened 14 new Applebee's restaurants,
bringing the total number of new franchise openings to 48 restaurants for
fiscal 2008 throughout the U.S. and in several international locations.

-- On a pro forma basis, which compares fourth quarter 2008 results for
Applebee's franchise operations segment to the same period last year,
Applebee's franchise operations segment profitability grew 0.3% to $34.5
million due to a 7.3% increase in effective units, which offset a 4.7%
decrease in domestic franchise same-store sales for the fourth quarter
2008.

-- On a pro forma basis, which compares fourth quarter 2008 results for
Applebee's company operations segment to the same period last year, sales
at Applebee's company-operated restaurants decreased 18.3% to $225.0
million primarily due to a 13.2% decrease in the number of effective units
as a result of the Company's refranchising efforts. Operating margin, which
is defined as total sales less expenses, improved 280 basis points to 10.7%
compared to a 7.9% operating margin, excluding pre-opening expense of 10
basis points, for the fourth quarter 2007. Applebee's operating margin
performance for the quarter was primarily driven by improvement in the
management of labor expense and food and beverage costs, which more than
offset higher commodity and utility costs. These factors resulted in an
11.5% increase in segment profitability to $24.0 million for the fourth
quarter 2008.

-- In line with its strategy to franchise the majority of Applebee's
company-operated restaurants, Applebee's completed the sale of 103
restaurants in Southern California, Delaware, Nevada and Texas during
fiscal 2008.
Stewart commented, "We have strong interest from prospective buyers in all of Applebee's company-operated restaurants available for sale, but recognize that closing deals is very difficult in the current environment. We continue to believe we will meet our 2009 refranchising goal of selling approximately 200 restaurants as we are working with several interested parties to overcome obstacles posed by the credit markets and weakness in the broader economy. In the meantime, we remain focused on margin improvement and profitability enhancement at Applebee's company-operated restaurants. Additionally, we are moving into the next stage of Applebee's brand revitalization process with strategic menu updates and expanded marketing efforts planned throughout the year."

Maximizing Financial Flexibility

Through a combination of refranchising and sale-leaseback proceeds, rental obligation assignments, and the use of free cash flow to retire debt, DineEquity reduced its leverage levels by approximately $500 million in fiscal 2008. Additionally, the Company has taken proactive steps to further maximize its financial flexibility, including cost reduction actions that have already resulted in approximately $20 million worth of profit enhancements over and above the approximate $35 million worth of cost savings to date made possible by the Applebee's acquisition and the sale of company-operated restaurants.

As a result, DineEquity complied with its debt covenants throughout fiscal 2008 and believes it will continue to do so in fiscal 2009. The Company's consolidated leverage ratio as of the end of the fourth quarter 2008 was 6.77x. As of the end of the fourth quarter 2008, debt service coverage ratios were 3.0x for IHOP's securitization on a three-month unadjusted basis and 2.0x for the Applebee's securitization on three-month adjusted basis.

DineEquity has provided supplemental information to this news release regarding its compliance with its debt covenants, which may be accessed by visiting the Calls & Presentations section of DineEquity's Investor Relations website at http://investors.dineequity.com and referring to supporting materials for the Company's fourth quarter 2008 webcast.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release includes references to the Company's "net loss 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 fiscal 2008:


For the year Ended
December 31, 2008
------------------
(in millions)
Cash flows from operating activities $ 110.8
Receipts from long term notes receivable 15.8
Capital expenditures (31.8)
------------------
Free cash flow $ 94.8

IHOP BUSINESS UNIT
The following table sets forth, for the three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 31 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 Year ended December 31, 2008 with Three Months and Year ended December 31, 2007 -- Applebee's" herein.

licensees.

(b) "System-wide sales" are retail sales at IHOP restaurants operated by

(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

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.

(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
$817.1 million and $803.3 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $3.4 billion and
$3.3 billion for the fiscal year ended December 31, 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 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.

(e) These amounts represent changes for Applebee's restaurants for the full
fiscal year. We acquired Applebee's on November 29, 2007. The change
in Applebee's store sales and same-store sales was (5.1)% and (4.5)%,
respectively, for the five-week period in 2007 subsequent to the
acquisition date. The change in domestic franchise restaurant store
sales and same-store sales, as reported to the Company, was (2.4)%
and (5.0)%, respectively, for the five-week period in 2007
subsequent to the acquisition date. The change in domestic system
store sales was (3.1)% and (4.8)%, respectively, for the five-week
period in 2007 subsequent to the acquisition date.
