Dine Brands Global, Inc. (NYSE: DIN), the parent company of
Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar®, IHOP® and Fuzzy’s Taco
Shop® restaurants, today announced financial results for the third
quarter of fiscal year 2024.
“During the third quarter, we continued to experience consumer
pullback and the pressures of a highly promotional operating
environment. We know we need to do more in the near term to drive
traffic and get back to better top-line performance. For the fourth
quarter, we are enhancing our value proposition for guests and
remain focused on executing our plans across our brands,” said John
Peyton, chief executive officer, Dine Brands Global, Inc.
Vance Chang, chief financial officer, Dine Brands Global, Inc.,
added, “Our third quarter results demonstrated the resiliency of
our business model despite the challenges to our top line. Our cash
flow generation ability through market cycles is supported by our
asset-lite model and the scale of our platform. We are confident in
our ability to drive long-term value for our stakeholders.”
Domestic Restaurant Sales for the Third Quarter of
2024
- Applebee’s year-over-year domestic comparable same-restaurant
sales declined 5.9% for the third quarter of 2024. Off-premise
sales mix accounted for 21.7% in the third quarter of 2024 compared
to 21.5% in the third quarter of 2023.
- IHOP’s year-over-year domestic comparable same-restaurant sales
declined 2.1% for the third quarter of 2024. Off-premise sales mix
accounted for 19.3% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to 19.5%
in the third quarter of 2023.
Third Quarter of 2024 Summary
- Total revenues for the third quarter of 2024 were $195.0
million compared to $202.6 million for the third quarter of 2023.
The decrease was primarily due to the negative comparable
same-restaurant sales growth at Applebee’s and IHOP, partially
offset by increases in the number of effective franchise
restaurants and proprietary product sales at IHOP.
- General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the third
quarter of 2024 were $45.4 million compared to $48.6 million for
the third quarter of 2023. The variance was primarily attributable
to lower compensation-related expenses offset by an increase in
depreciation expense.
- GAAP net income available to common stockholders was $18.5
million, or earnings per diluted share of $1.24, for the third
quarter of 2024 compared to net income available to common
stockholders of $18.0 million, or earnings per diluted share of
$1.19 for the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due
to a decrease in G&A expenses and a decrease in closure and
impairment charges, partially offset by a decrease in segment
profit.
- Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $21.4
million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.44, for the
third quarter of 2024 compared to adjusted net income available to
common stockholders of $22.3 million, or adjusted earnings per
diluted share of $1.46, for the third quarter of 2023. The decline
was primarily due to a decrease in segment profit, partially offset
by a decrease in G&A expenses. (See “Non-GAAP Financial
Measures” for definition and reconciliation of GAAP net income
available to common stockholders to adjusted net income available
to common stockholders.)
- Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 was
$61.9 million compared to $60.6 million for the third quarter of
2023. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for definition and
reconciliation of GAAP net income to consolidated adjusted
EBITDA.)
- Development activity by Applebee’s and IHOP franchisees for the
third quarter of 2024 resulted in 10 new restaurant openings and 19
restaurant closures.
First Nine Months of 2024 Summary
- Total revenues for the first nine months of 2024 were $607.5
million compared to $624.8 million for the first nine months of
2023. The decline was primarily due to the negative comparable
same-restaurant sales growth at the brands, partially offset by
increases in the number of effective franchise restaurants and
proprietary product sales at IHOP.
- G&A expenses for the first nine months of 2024 were $144.4
million compared to $147.5 million for the first nine months of
2023. The variance was primarily due to the stopping of the IHOP
Flip’d initiative in the prior period, a decrease in professional
services including acquisition costs, a decrease in occupancy costs
and a decrease in compensation-related expenses, partially offset
by an increase in depreciation expense.
- GAAP net income available to common stockholders was $58.0
million, or earnings per diluted share of $3.88, for the first nine
months of 2024 compared to net income available to common
stockholders of $62.6 million, or earnings per diluted share of
$4.09 for the first nine months of 2023. The decline was primarily
due to a decrease in segment profit, partially offset by a decrease
in G&A expenses.
- Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $66.9
million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $4.48, for the
first nine months of 2024 compared to adjusted net income available
to common stockholders of $80.3 million, or adjusted earnings per
diluted share of $5.25, for the first nine months of 2023. The
decline was primarily due to a decrease in segment profit and an
increase in interest expense as a result of our April 2023
refinancing. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for definition and
reconciliation of GAAP net income available to common stockholders
to adjusted net income available to common stockholders.)
- Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2024
was $189.7 million compared to $194.2 million for the first nine
months of 2023. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for definition
and reconciliation of GAAP net income to consolidated adjusted
EBITDA.)
- Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first nine
months of 2024 were $77.7 million. This compares to cash flows
provided by operating activities of $79.3 million for the first
nine months of 2023. The decline was primarily due to a decrease in
segment profit, partially offset by a decrease in G&A expenses
and a favorable increase in working capital.
- Adjusted free cash flow was $77.8 million for the first nine
months of 2024. This compares to adjusted free cash flow of $54.0
million for the first nine months of 2023. (See “Non-GAAP Financial
Measures” for definition 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 nine months of 2024 resulted in 35 new restaurant openings
and 64 restaurant closures.
Key Balance Sheet Metrics (as of September 30, 2024)
- Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of
approximately $235.1 million, of which approximately $169.6 million
was unrestricted cash.
- Available borrowing capacity under the Variable Funding Senior
Secured Notes is over $224 million.
GAAP Effective Tax Rate
The Company's effective tax rate was 26.9% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2024, as compared to 25.0% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2023. The effective tax rate for the nine
months ended September 30, 2024 was higher than the rate of the
prior comparable period primarily due to a lower tax deduction
related to stock-based compensation.
Capital Returns to Equity Holders
During the third quarter of 2024, paid quarterly cash dividends
totaling approximately $7.8 million.

Dine Brands does not provide forward-looking guidance for GAAP
net income because it is unable to predict certain items contained
in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts. These items may
include closure and impairment charges, loss on extinguishment of
debt, gain or loss on disposition of assets, other non-income-based
taxes and other items deemed not reflective of current
operations.

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 intangible asset
amortization, any non-cash interest expense, any gain or loss
related to the disposition of assets, any gain or loss related to
debt extinguishment, 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 interest expense, any income tax provision or
benefit, any depreciation and amortization, any non-cash
stock-based compensation, any closure and impairment charges, any
gain or loss related to debt extinguishment, 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. 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.

Dine Brands Global, Inc. and
Subsidiaries 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.

Reconciliation of the Company's net income to “adjusted EBITDA.”
The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss, adjusted
for the effect of interest expense, income tax provision or
benefit, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based
compensation, closure and impairment charges, loss on
extinguishment of debt, gain or loss on disposition of assets, and
other items deemed not reflective of current operations. Management
may use certain non-GAAP measures along with the corresponding U.S.
GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of the Company and to
make certain business decisions.

Dine Brands Global, Inc. and
Subsidiaries Restaurant Data (Unaudited)
The following table sets forth, for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2024, the number of “Effective Restaurants” in
the Applebee’s, IHOP and Fuzzy's 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)
“Effective Restaurants” are the
weighted average number of restaurants open in each 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 consist of 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 Applebee’s and Fuzzy'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 Fuzzy's 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 in franchisees' reported sales will result
in a corresponding increase in our royalty revenue, while a
decrease in franchisees' reported sales will result in a
corresponding decrease in our royalty revenue. Unaudited reported
sales for Applebee's and Fuzzy's domestic franchise restaurants,
Fuzzy's company-operated restaurants, IHOP franchise restaurants
and IHOP area license restaurants were as follows:

“Sales percentage change”
reflects, for each category of restaurants, the percentage change
in sales in any given fiscal period compared to the prior 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
period, for domestic restaurants that have been operated during
both periods that are being compared and have been open for at
least 18 months. Because of new restaurant openings and restaurant
closures, the domestic restaurants open throughout both fiscal
periods being compared may be different from period to period.
