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 first
quarter of fiscal year 2024.
“While we are not content with the start of the year, we are
encouraged by the response of our value offerings and targeted
promotions which drove improved performance as the quarter
progressed,” said John Peyton, chief executive officer, Dine Brands
Global, Inc. “This quarter is an important reminder that our guests
are craving abundant value and we are committed to meet their need
through our upcoming campaigns and new menu items, while leveraging
the resources of our platform to support franchisees.”
Vance Chang, chief financial officer, Dine Brands Global, Inc.
added, “Our brands have been tested through many economic cycles in
the past decades and while our first quarter results reflect the
impact of consumer price sensitivity and challenging weather
conditions, our fundamental business model remains steady with
solid cash flow and positioning us to deliver on our guidance for
the year.”
Domestic Restaurant Sales for the First Quarter of
2024
- Applebee’s year-over-year domestic comparable same-restaurant
sales declined 4.6% for the first quarter of 2024. Off-premise
sales mix accounted for 22.1% in the first quarter of 2024 compared
to 23.1% in the first quarter of 2023.
- IHOP’s year-over-year domestic comparable same-restaurant sales
declined 1.7% for the first quarter of 2024. Off-premise sales mix
accounted for 21.0% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to 21.7%
in the first quarter of 2023.
First Quarter of 2024 Summary
- Total revenues for the first quarter of 2024 were $206.2
million compared to $213.8 million for the first quarter of 2023.
The decline 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 first
quarter of 2024 were $52.2 million compared to $51.1 million for
the first quarter of 2023. The variance was primarily attributable
to an increase in compensation-related expenses (predominantly
stock-based compensation) and an increase in consumer research
expenses, partially offset by a decrease in professional
services.
- GAAP net income available to common stockholders was $17.0
million, or earnings per diluted share of $1.13, for the first
quarter of 2024 compared to net income available to common
stockholders of $26.7 million, or earnings per diluted share of
$1.74 for the first quarter of 2023. The decline was primarily due
to a decrease in segment profit, an increase in interest expense as
a result of our April 2023 refinancing and a prior year gain on
debt extinguishment, partially offset by a decrease in income
taxes.
- Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $19.9
million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.33, for the
first quarter of 2024 compared to adjusted net income available to
common stockholders of $30.2 million, or adjusted earnings per
diluted share of $1.97, for the first quarter of 2023. The decline
was primarily due to a decrease in segment profit, an increase in
interest expense as a result of our April 2023 refinancing and an
increase in G&A expenses, partially offset by a decrease in
income taxes. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation
of GAAP net income available to common stockholders to adjusted net
income available to common stockholders.)
- Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 was
$60.8 million compared to $66.4 million for the first quarter of
2023. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP
net income to consolidated adjusted EBITDA.)
- Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first
quarter of 2024 were $30.6 million. This compares to cash flows
provided by operating activities of $16.1 million for the first
quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to a favorable
increase in working capital, partially offset by a decrease in
segment profit.
- Adjusted free cash flow was $29.7 million for the first quarter
of 2024. This compares to adjusted free cash flow of $2.3 million
for the first quarter of 2023. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”
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 quarter of 2024 resulted in nine new restaurant openings and
the closure of 20 restaurants.
Key Balance Sheet Metrics (as of March 31, 2024)
- Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of
approximately $212.1 million, of which approximately $145.0 million
was unrestricted cash.
- Leverage ratio of approximately 4.3x compared to approximately
4.2x as of December 31, 2023.
- Available borrowing capacity under the Variable Funding Senior
Secured Notes is over $220 million.
GAAP Effective Tax Rate
The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.3% for the three months
ended March 31, 2024, as compared to 24.2% for the three months
ended March 31, 2023. The effective tax rate for the three months
ended March 31, 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 first quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased
approximately $6.0 million of its common stock and paid quarterly
cash dividends totaling approximately $7.8 million.
Financial Performance Guidance for 2024
The Company reiterated its fiscal year 2024 guidance items:
- Reiterated: Applebee’s domestic system-wide comparable
same-restaurant sales performance is expected to range between 0%
and 2%.
- Reiterated: IHOP’s domestic system-wide comparable
same-restaurant sales performance is expected to range between 1%
and 3%.
- Reiterated: Domestic development activity for Applebee’s
franchisees is between 25 and 35 net fewer restaurants.
- Reiterated: Domestic development activity by IHOP franchisees
and area licensees is expected to be between 15 and 25 net new
openings.
- Reiterated: Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is expected to range
between approximately $255 million and $265 million.
- Reiterated: G&A expenses are expected to range between
approximately $200 million and $210 million. This total includes
non-cash stock-based compensation expense and depreciation of
approximately $35 million.
- Reiterated: Gross capital expenditures are expected to range
between approximately $15 million and $20 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 charges, 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. Additionally, adjusted EPS is one of the
metrics used in determining payouts under the Company’s annual cash
incentive plan. Total revenues excluding the refranchised
Applebee’s restaurants is helpful for Management to evaluate the
performance of franchised restaurants over comparative periods.
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.

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.

Measures
(Unaudited)
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 charges, income tax provision
or benefit, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based
compensation, closure and impairment charges, gain or 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.

Restaurant Data
(Unaudited)
The following table sets forth, for the three months ended
March 31, 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, IHOP and Fuzzy’s 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 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 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 fiscal period, for
domestic restaurants that have been operated during both fiscal
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.
