DineEquity, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 
1. General
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of DineEquity, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve months ending December 31, 2013.
 
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
 
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
2. Basis of Presentation
 
The Company’s fiscal quarters end on the Sunday closest to the last day of each quarter. For convenience, the fiscal quarters of each year are reported as ending on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. The first fiscal quarter of 2013 ended on March 31, 2013; the first fiscal quarter of 2012 ended on April 1, 2012.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries that are consolidated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to provisions for doubtful accounts, legal contingencies, income taxes, long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
3. Accounting Policies
 
Accounting Standards Adopted in the Current Fiscal Year
 
In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles - Testing Indefinite Lived Intangibles for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”). ASU 2012-02 allows an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test on indefinite-lived intangibles. An entity electing to perform a qualitative assessment is no longer required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 as of January 1, 2013 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-06, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-06”). The amendments in ASU 2013-06 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income in their entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross-referenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. The adoption of ASU 2013-06 as of January 1, 2013 did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures therein because the Company had no material amount of reclassifications.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Newly Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (“ASU 2013-04”). The amendments in ASU 2013-04 requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements as the amount the entity agreed to pay on the basis of the arrangement among its co-obligors plus the amount an entity expects to pay on behalf of co-obligors. ASU 2013-04 also requires an entity to disclose the nature, amount and other information about each obligation or group of similar obligations. The Company will be required to adopt these amendments effective January 1, 2014, and is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
 
The Company reviewed all other newly issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they either are not applicable to the Company or that no material effect is expected on the consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

6. Impairment and Closure Charges
 
The Company assesses tangible long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The following table summarizes the components of impairment and closure charges for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

Impairment and closure charges for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $0.7 million. The impairment charge related to a parcel of land previously intended for future restaurant development. The closure charges primarily related to several individually insignificant closures of restaurants.

7. Income Taxes
 
The effective tax rate was 39.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to 36.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The effective tax rate increased due to lower income tax credits, primarily FICA tip and other compensation-related tax credits as a result of the refranchising and sale of related assets of Applebee's company-operated restaurants in 2012, and an increase in unrecognized tax benefits.
 
 The total gross unrecognized tax benefit as of March 31, 2013 was $6.6 million, excluding interest, penalties and related tax benefits. The Company estimates the unrecognized tax benefits may decrease over the upcoming 12 months by an amount up to $5.2 million related to settlements with taxing authorities and the lapse of statutes of limitations. For the remaining liability, due to the uncertainties related to these tax matters, the Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate when cash settlement with a taxing authority will occur.

As of March 31, 2013, the accrued interest and penalties were $2.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively, excluding any related income tax benefits. As of December 31, 2012, accrued interest and penalties were $1.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, excluding any related income tax benefits. The increase of $1.2 million of accrued interest is primarily related to an increase in unrecognized tax benefits as a result of recent audits by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as a component of the income tax provision recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

The Company files federal income tax returns and the Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state or non-United States tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008. The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the Company's U.S. federal income tax return for the tax years 2008 to 2010. The examination is anticipated to be completed in 2013.

8. Stock-Based Compensation
 
From time to time, the Company has granted nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, cash-settled and stock-settled restricted stock units and performance units to officers, other employees and non-employee directors of the Company. Currently, the Company is authorized to grant nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, cash-settled and stock-settled restricted stock units and performance units to officers, other employees and nonemployee directors under the DineEquity, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan was approved by stockholders on May 17, 2011 and permits the issuance of up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2011 Plan will expire in May 2021.
 
The nonqualified stock options generally vest ratably over a three-year period in one-third increments and have a term of ten years from the grant date. Option exercise prices equal the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant. Restricted stock and restricted stock units are issued at no cost to the holder and vest over terms determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, generally three years following the grant date.

The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day of the first quarter of 2013 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on March 31, 2013. The aggregate intrinsic value will change based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock and the number of in-the-money options.

The Company previously had issued shares of cash-settled restricted stock units to members of the Board of Directors. Originally these instruments were expected to be settled in cash and were recorded as liabilities based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of each period end. In February 2013, it was determined that these restricted stock units would be settled in shares of common stock and all outstanding restricted stock units were converted to equity classified awards. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, were included in pretax stock-based compensation expense for the cash-settled restricted stock units. At December 31, 2012, liabilities of $2.4 million were included as other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets.

Liability Classified Awards - Long-Term Incentive Awards
The Company has granted cash long-term incentive awards to certain employees ("LTIP awards"). Annual LTIP awards vest over a three-year period and are determined using a multiplier from 0% to 200% of the target award based on the total shareholder return of DineEquity, Inc. common stock compared to the total shareholder returns of a peer group of companies. Though LTIP awards are both denominated and paid only in cash, since the multiplier is based on the price of the Company's common stock, the awards are considered stock-based compensation in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are considered liability classified awards. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, were included in stock-based compensation expense related to the LTIP awards. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, liabilities of $2.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively, were included as accrued employee compensation and benefits in the consolidated balance sheet.
 
9. Segments
 
The Company’s revenues and expenses are recorded in four segments: franchise operations, company restaurant operations, rental operations and financing operations.
 
As of March 31, 2013, the franchise operations segment consisted of (i) 2,008 restaurants operated by Applebee’s franchisees in the United States, one U.S. territory and 15 countries outside the United States; and (ii) 1,577 restaurants operated by IHOP franchisees and area licensees in the United States, two U.S. territories and seven countries outside the United States. Franchise operations revenue consists primarily of franchise royalty revenues, sales of proprietary products (primarily pancake and waffle dry mixes for the IHOP restaurants), IHOP franchise advertising fees and the portion of the franchise fees allocated to IHOP and Applebee's intellectual property.  Franchise operations expenses include IHOP advertising expense, the cost of proprietary products, pre-opening training expenses and other franchise-related costs.
 
At March 31, 2013, the company restaurant operations segment consisted of 23 Applebee’s company-operated restaurants, 10 IHOP company-operated restaurants and two IHOP restaurants reacquired from franchisees and operated by IHOP on a temporary basis until refranchised, all located in the United States. Company restaurant sales are retail sales at company-operated restaurants. Company restaurant expenses are operating expenses at company-operated restaurants and include food, labor, utilities, rent and other restaurant operating costs.
 
Rental operations revenue includes revenue from operating leases and interest income from direct financing leases. Rental operations expenses are costs of operating leases and interest expense on capital leases on franchisee-operated restaurants. 
Financing operations revenue primarily consists of interest income from the financing of franchise fees and equipment leases, as well as sales of equipment associated with refranchised IHOP restaurants and a portion of franchise fees for restaurants taken back from franchisees not allocated to IHOP intellectual property. Financing expenses are primarily the cost of restaurant equipment.

11. Fair Value Measurements
The Company does not have a material amount of financial instruments, non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities that are required under U.S. GAAP to be measured on a recurring basis at fair value. The Company has not elected to use fair value measurement, as provided under U.S. GAAP, for any assets or liabilities for which fair value measurement is not presently required.
 
The Company believes the fair values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and the current portion of long-term debt approximate the carrying amounts due to their short duration.
 
The fair values of non-current financial liabilities at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, determined based on Level 2 inputs, were as follows:

12. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Litigation, Claims and Disputes
 
The Company is subject to various lawsuits, administrative proceedings, audits, and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these lawsuits purport to be class actions and/or seek substantial damages. The Company is required to record an accrual for litigation loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Legal fees and expenses associated with the defense of all of the Company's litigation are expensed as such fees and expenses are incurred. Management regularly assesses the Company's insurance deductibles, analyzes litigation information with the Company's attorneys and evaluates the Company's loss experience in connection with pending legal proceedings. While the Company does not presently believe that any of the legal proceedings to which it is currently a party will ultimately have a material adverse impact on the Company, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in all the proceedings the Company is party to, or that the Company will not incur material losses from them.

Lease Guarantees
 
In connection with the sale of Applebee’s restaurants or previous brands to franchisees and other parties, the Company has, in certain cases, guaranteed or had potential continuing liability for lease payments totaling $444.9 million as of March 31, 2013. This amount represents the maximum potential liability for future payments under these leases. These leases have been assigned to the buyers and expire at the end of the respective lease terms, which range from 2013 through 2048. In the event of default, the indemnity and default clauses in the sale or assignment agreements govern the Company's ability to pursue and recover damages incurred.  No material liabilities have been recorded as of March 31, 2013.

Contingencies

In February 2013, an IHOP franchisee which owns and operates 19 restaurants located in the states of Illinois, Wisconsin and Missouri filed for bankruptcy protection. This franchisee currently is operating all of its restaurants in the normal course of business and is current on all financial obligations to the Company.

In April 2013, an Applebee's franchisee which owns and operates 33 restaurants located in the state of Illinois also filed for bankruptcy protection. In connection with the bankruptcy filing, this franchisee expects to close eight restaurants. This franchisee currently is operating its remaining restaurants in the normal course of business and is current on all financial obligations to the Company.

Based on currently available information, the Company cannot determine whether either of these bankruptcy proceedings will have a material adverse impact on its results of operations for the 2013 fiscal year or, if such material adverse impact were to occur, the magnitude of the impact.

13.  Consolidating Financial Information
 
Certain of the Company's subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company's obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The following presents the condensed consolidating financial information separately for: (i) the parent Company, the issuer of the guaranteed obligations; (ii) the guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis, as specified in the Credit Agreement; (iii) the non-guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis; (iv) consolidating eliminations and reclassifications; and (v) DineEquity, Inc. and Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
 
Each guarantor subsidiary is 100% owned by the Company at the date of each balance sheet presented. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each guarantor subsidiary. Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements.
