Achieves Second Consecutive Year of Positive Franchise and Company Same-Store Sales 

2012 Full Year Adjusted Income Before Taxes* Increased 26% 

SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Feb. 20, 2013 // GLOBE NEWSWIRE // - Denny's Corporation (Nasdaq:DENN), franchisor and operator of one of America's largest full-service restaurant chains, today reported results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 26, 2012.

Full Year Summary

  • Opened 40 new system-wide restaurants, including six international locations.
  • Refranchised 36 company restaurants completing the Franchise Growth Initiative started in 2007, achieving our target of operating approximately 10% of the Denny's system as company restaurants.
  • Adjusted EBITDA* margin, as a percentage of total operating revenue, increased 0.8 percentage points to 16.0% compared with the prior year.
  • Net income of $22.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, was impacted by a $7.9 million charge to other nonoperating expense as a result of refinancing our credit facility, $3.7 million of impairment expense, and $7.1 million in gains on the sale of assets.
  • Adjusted Income Before Taxes* grew 26.2% to $47.0 million compared with the prior year.
  • Generated $48.8 million of Free Cash Flow* used to reduce outstanding term loan debt by $28.0 million and repurchase 4.8 million shares for $22.2 million.

Fourth Quarter Summary

  • System-wide same-store sales grew 1.7%, comprised of a 2.0% increase at franchised restaurants and a 0.5% increase at company restaurants.
  • Opened 13 new system-wide restaurants, including one company restaurant in Las Vegas and one international restaurant located in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
  • Acquired one franchised restaurant located in the San Diego market for $1.4 million.
  • Net income of $6.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, was impacted by $0.7 million of impairment expense.
  • Adjusted Income Before Taxes* grew 15.6% to $10.9 million compared with the prior year quarter.

John Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Denny's delivered another year of solid results while generating our second consecutive year of positive company and franchise same-store sales. This is a testament to our positioning as America's Diner, emphasizing everyday affordability with attractive Limited Time Only products. Although we are encouraged about the progress we have made thus far, we believe there is much work to be done in our revitalization plan to drive additional value. In our efforts to increase long-term shareholder value, we will continue to work closely with our franchisees to increase sales, profitability and new restaurant growth through our franchised-focused business model. By balancing our capital allocation between reinvestments in the brand, whether it's through our franchisees or our company restaurants, strengthening our balance sheet, and returning value to shareholders, we will continue to grow value for all stakeholders."

Fourth Quarter Results

For the fourth quarter of 2012, franchise and license revenue increased 7.5% to $34.2 million compared with $31.8 million in the prior year quarter. The $2.4 million increase in franchise revenue was primarily driven by a $1.5 million increase in royalties and a $1.1 million increase in occupancy revenue due to 55 additional equivalent franchise restaurants. Company restaurant sales of $81.7 million decreased $16.6 million due to 49 fewer equivalent company restaurants. This decrease reflects the continuing impact of selling company restaurants to franchisees as part of our FGI refranchising strategy that was completed at the end of 2012.

Denny's opened 12 new franchised restaurants in the fourth quarter of this year, including the third location in Honduras. The Company opened one company restaurant in the quarter in downtown Las Vegas and acquired one franchised restaurant location in the San Diego market for $1.4 million. During the quarter, Denny's closed 11 franchised restaurants, one company restaurant and sold eight company restaurants to franchisees.

Franchise operating margin increased $1.5 million to $22.3 million primarily due to the increases in franchise royalties and occupancy margin. Franchise operating margin (as a percentage of franchise and license revenue) was 65.2%, a decrease of 0.3 percentage points. The decrease was primarily due to lower initial fee revenue from refranchising fewer restaurants.

Company restaurant operating margin decreased $1.6 million primarily due to the impact of selling company restaurants to franchisees. However, company restaurant operating margin (as a percentage of company restaurant sales) was 13.5%, an increase of 0.7 percentage points. The increase was primarily driven by lower payroll and benefits costs and lower other operating costs, partially offset by increases in product costs.

Total general and administrative expenses increased $1.4 million primarily due to higher performance-based compensation expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $1.5 million primarily as a result of the sale of restaurants over the past two years. Interest expense decreased by $1.8 million to $2.8 million as a result of a $30.4 million reduction in total gross debt over the last 12 months and lower interest rates under our refinanced credit facility.

Adjusted Income Before Taxes*, Denny's target metric for earnings, increased 15.6% to $10.9 million compared with $9.5 million in the prior year quarter. In the fourth quarter, the provision for income taxes was $2.5 million, reflecting an annual effective tax rate of 36.4%. Due to the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, the Company paid only $0.2 million in cash taxes in the fourth quarter and $2.0 million in 2012.

Denny's net income was $6.5 million for the fourth quarter 2012, or $0.07 per diluted share, which was impacted by $0.7 million of impairment expense. Prior year quarter net income of $92.0 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, was impacted by the recording of an $89.1 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, net deferred tax benefit resulting from the release of a substantial portion of the valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets based on our improved historical and projected pre-tax income.

For the full year 2012, Denny's generated $48.8 million of Free Cash Flow* which the Company used to reduce its outstanding term loan by $28.0 million and to return value to shareholders by repurchasing 4.8 million shares for $22.2 million. Since initiating our share repurchase strategy in November 2010, the Company has repurchased 11.5 million shares and now has 3.5 million shares remaining in its current authorized share repurchase initiative.

Mark Wolfinger, Executive Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded, "We are pleased that we have reached our target of being a 90% franchised system, which has enabled us to drive significant improvements in our financial performance. Our franchise focused business model enables us to continue to reinvest in the growth of the brand, pay down debt and repurchase shares. Despite numerous external headwinds facing the restaurant industry in 2013, we anticipate growing adjusted earnings per share by at least 10% and generating close to $50 million in Free Cash Flow* this year, after reinvestments in our company restaurants."

Business Outlook

The Company continues to successfully execute against our Key Objectives implemented to strengthen and grow our position as one of the largest American full-service restaurant brands, based on number of restaurants.

These include:

  • Revitalize Denny's image with our "America's Diner" positioning.
  • Increase the growth of the Denny's brand both domestically and internationally.
  • Grow profitability and Free Cash Flow* through a primarily franchise-focused business model that balances reinvesting in the brand with debt repayment and returning cash to shareholders.

The following full year 2013 estimates are based on management's expectations at this time. 

  • System-wide same-store sales growth between 0% and 2%.
  • New restaurant openings (all franchised) between 40 and 45 restaurants with net restaurant growth between 5 and 10 restaurants.
  • Total G&A, including share-based compensation, between $59 million and $61 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA* between $76 million and $80 million.
  • Cash capital expenditures between $17 million and $19 million, including approximately 20 to 25 remodels at company restaurants.
  • Depreciation and amortization between $20 million and $21 million.
  • Net interest expense between $10.5 million and $11.5 million.
  • Cash taxes between $2.5 million and $3.5 million with income tax rate between 35% and 40%.

(1)  We believe that, in addition to other financial measures, Adjusted Income Before Taxes, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are appropriate indicators to assist in the evaluation of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis. We also use Adjusted Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow internally as performance measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of annual operating budgets, and for compensation purposes, including bonuses for certain employees. Adjusted EBITDA is also used to evaluate our ability to service debt because the excluded charges do not have an impact on our prospective debt servicing capability and these adjustments are contemplated in our credit facility for the computation of our debt covenant ratios. Free Cash Flow, defined as Adjusted EBITDA less cash portion of interest expense net of interest income, capital expenditures, and cash taxes, is used to evaluate operating effectiveness and decisions regarding the allocation of resources. However, Adjusted Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, operating income, net income or other financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
