“This was another strong quarter for Dine Brands. We recorded a second consecutive period of both IHOP and Applebee’s beating their competitive sets, average weekly sales for both brands exceeded 2019 pre-pandemic levels, and we delivered a 48% increase in quarter-over-quarter EBITDA. The strength of our two world-class brands, combined with the benefits of our asset-lite business model, is fueling the acceleration in system-wide sales growth across each of our brands and driving long-term sustainable growth in the business,” said John Peyton, chief executive officer of Dine Brands Global, Inc.

Mr. Peyton added, “Our asset-light structure allows us to keep our operations lean and our movements agile; it reduces complexity, requires less capital and is a significant generator of cash. Our highly franchised model allows us to invest in what we do best—menu, marketing, and technology innovation.”

Vance Chang, chief financial officer, added, “The sequential improvement in our business continued in the third quarter and helped us maintain a strong cash position and financial flexibility. While we are pleased with our progress to date, we remain focused on accelerating growth and making disciplined investments in our brands to support sustainable growth. We are confident that we have the right strategy in place to create long-term shareholder value.”

Third Quarter of 2021 Summary

  • GAAP earnings per diluted share of $1.33 for the third quarter of 2021 compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.60 for the third quarter of 2020. This variance was primarily due to an increase in gross profit, partially offset by higher income tax expense and an increase in general and administrative expenses.
  • Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.55 for the third quarter of 2021 compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.80 for the third quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share.)
  • General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2021 were $43.7 million compared to $36.9 million for the third quarter of 2020. The variance was mainly due to higher incentive compensation accrual.
  • Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2021 was $63.3 million compared to $42.7 million for the third quarter of 2020. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP net income to consolidated adjusted EBITDA.)
  • Development activity by Applebee’s and IHOP franchisees for the third quarter of 2021 resulted in the opening of 11 new restaurants on a gross basis.

First Nine Months of 2021 Summary

  • GAAP earnings per diluted share of $4.52 for the first nine months of 2021 compared to a net loss per diluted share of $6.34 for the first nine months of 2020. This variance was primarily due to closure and impairment charges incurred in the first nine months of 2020 totaling $124.5 million primarily related to the non-cash write-downs of Applebee’s goodwill and other intangible assets because of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and higher gross profit for the first nine months of 2021. There were no similar impairments in the first nine months of 2021.
  • Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $5.22 for the first nine months of 2021 compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.40 for the first nine months of 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share.)
  • General and administrative expenses for the first nine months of 2021 were $122.9 million compared to $105.4 million for the first nine months of 2020. The variance was mainly due to higher incentive compensation accrual.
  • Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2021 was $193.2 million. This compares to $116.5 million for the first nine months of 2020. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP net income to consolidated adjusted EBITDA.)
  • The Company generated adjusted free cash flow of $146.1 million for the first nine months of 2021. This compares to adjusted free cash flow of $35.6 million for the first nine months of 2020. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of the Company’s cash provided by operating activities to adjusted free cash flow.)
  • Cash flows from operating activities for the first nine months of 2021 were $145.6 million. This compares to cash flows from operating activities of $36.7 million for the first nine months of 2020. The improvement in both adjusted free cash flow and cash flows from operating activities was mainly due to a favorable change in working capital and an improvement in gross profit, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses and the recognition of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation.
  • Development activity by Applebee’s and IHOP franchisees for the first nine months of 2021 resulted in the opening of 31 new restaurants on a gross basis.

Cash Position

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $385.2 million of total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, of which $304.2 million was unrestricted cash. The Company believes that its asset-light business model and cash position will continue to provide strong liquidity as the recovery from the pandemic continues.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s leverage ratio was 4.36x compared to approximately 4.94x as of June 30, 2021. As a result, quarterly principal payments on the Company’s fixed rate senior secured notes are no longer required.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s debt service coverage ratio was approximately 4.8x compared to approximately 4.6x as of June 30, 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2021, $3.3 million was pledged against the revolving credit facility for outstanding letters of credit, leaving $221.7 million available.

GAAP Effective Tax Rate

The Company’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2021 was a 24.9% tax expense compared to a 9.5% tax benefit for the third quarter of 2020. The Company’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2021 was significantly different than the rate for the same quarter of last year primarily due to the one-time recognition of income tax benefits from the release of unrecognized tax benefits in the third quarter of 2020.

Capital Return to Shareholders

On October 29, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared and approved a cash dividend of $0.40 per share of common stock for the fourth quarter of 2021. The dividend will be payable on January 7, 2022 to the Company's stockholders of record at the close of business on December 20, 2021. The Company also announced it intends to resume opportunistic repurchases of its common stock.

As of September 30, 2021, there was $70.2 million remaining on the Company’s current share repurchase authorization.

Financial Performance Guidance for 2021

The Company’s guidance assumes there are no significant disruptions to its business due to COVID-19 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. The projections are as of this date. The Company assumes no obligation to update or supplement this information.

  • The Company reiterates expectations for general and administrative expenses for 2021 to range between approximately $168 million and $178 million. The Company expects general and administrative expenses for 2021 to be near the high end of the range.

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 gain or loss related to debt extinguishment, any intangible asset amortization, any non-cash interest expense, any gain or loss related to the disposition of assets, 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 closure and impairment charges, any interest charges, any income tax provision or benefit, any non-cash stock-based compensation, any depreciation and amortization, 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. 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 provided by operating activities to “adjusted free cash flow” (cash 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 (loss) to “adjusted EBITDA.” The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss, adjusted for the effect of closure and impairment charges, interest charges, income tax provision or benefit, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, gain or loss on disposition of assets, other non-income based taxes 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the number of “Effective Restaurants” in the Applebee’s and IHOP 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.

Restaurant Data

(Unaudited)

(a)

 

“Effective Restaurants” are the weighted average number of restaurants open 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 and IHOP systems, which includes 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 domestic Applebee’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 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 or decrease in franchisees' reported sales will result in a corresponding increase or decrease in our royalty revenue. Unaudited reported sales for Applebee's domestic franchise restaurants, Applebee's company-operated restaurants, IHOP franchise restaurants and IHOP area license restaurants for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 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 year 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 unit openings and restaurant closures, the domestic restaurants open during both fiscal periods being compared may be different from period to period.
