Dine Brands Global, Inc. (NYSE: DIN), the parent company of Applebee's Neighborhood Grill + Bar® and IHOP® restaurants, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2021.

“Dine Brands first-quarter 2021 results demonstrate positive momentum across our company.

  • Comparable same-restaurant sales for the first quarter of 2021 at both Applebee’s and IHOP improved sequentially from the fourth quarter of 2020 partially due to the continued improvement in our business conditions as state and local level governments eased restrictions on dine-in operations in some states as well as a shift in consumer behavior.

First Quarter of 2021 Summary

  • GAAP earnings per diluted share of $1.51 for the first quarter of 2021 compared to earnings per diluted share of $1.31 for the first quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to lower income tax expense and an increase in gross profit, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses and an increase in closure and impairment charges. The decline in income tax expense was mainly due to the recognition of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation primarily associated with the departure of our previous chief executive officer. The improvement in gross profit was mainly due to higher revenue from Applebee’s company-operated restaurants because of a higher average check and increased traffic for the first quarter of 2021.

  • Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.75 for the first quarter of 2021 compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.45 for the first quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to lower taxes and higher gross profit as discussed above. (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 quarter of 2021 were $39.9 million compared to $37.6 million for the first quarter of 2020. The variance was mainly due to higher personnel costs related to equity-based and other incentive compensation. These costs were partially offset by lower travel expenses.

  • Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2021 was $58.1 million. This compares to $61.7 million for the first quarter of 2020. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP net income to consolidated adjusted EBITDA.)

  • Cash flows from operating activities for the first quarter of 2021 were $30.6 million. This compares to cash flows from operating activities of $29.6 million for the first quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly due to the recognition of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation.

  • The Company generated strong adjusted free cash flow of $30.7 million for the first quarter of 2021. This compares to adjusted free cash flow of $27.5 million for the first quarter of 2020. The improvement is primarily due to the increase in cash flows from operating activities discussed above and lower capital expenditures compared to the first quarter of 2020. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of the Company’s cash provided by operating activities to adjusted free cash flow.)

  • Development activity by IHOP’s domestic franchisees resulted in the opening of eight new restaurants.

  • Development activity by Applebee’s domestic franchisees resulted in the opening of two new restaurants.

Cash Position

On March 5, 2021, the Company repaid the entire $220 million drawn from its revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2021, $3.3 million was pledged against the revolving credit facility for outstanding letters of credit.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $272.4 million of total cash and cash equivalents, of which $179.6 million was unrestricted cash. Excluding the $220 million the Company drew from its revolving credit facility, the Company had total cash of $236.1 million as of December 31, 2020, of which $163.4 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 March 31, 2021, the Company’s leverage ratio was 7.02x.

GAAP Effective Tax Rate

Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 was -6.6% compared to 23.2% for the first quarter of 2020. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 was significantly different than the rate of the prior comparable period and the statutory federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation primarily associated with the departure of our previous chief executive officer.

Financial Performance Guidance for 2021

The Company believes that its consolidated financial results for 2021 could continue to be materially impacted by the global impact from COVID-19. Considering the uncertainty and timing of a reversal in consumer behavior due to the pandemic, the Company currently cannot provide a complete business outlook for fiscal 2021.

The projections are as of this date. The Company assumes no obligation to update or supplement this information.

  • Reiterates expectations for general and administrative expenses for 2021 to range between approximately $160 million and $170 million, including approximately $5 million of general and administrative expenses related to the Applebee’s company-owned restaurants. Expectations include non-cash stock-based compensation expense and depreciation totaling approximately $45 million, of which approximately $30 million is included in the general and administrative expense guidance cited above.

  • Revises expectations for capital expenditures, which are now projected to be approximately $19 million, inclusive of approximately $7 million related to the company restaurants segment. This compares to previous expectations of capital expenditures to be approximately $14 million, inclusive of approximately $5 million related to the company restaurants segment. This change is due to additional investments in the business.

Domestic System Reopening Update

As of March 31, 2021, out of 3,256 domestic restaurants, 3,224, or 99%, were open for either dine-in service or off-premise service comprised of take-out and delivery, and 32 were temporarily closed. This compares to as of December 31, 2020, when out 3,270 domestic restaurants, 3,211, or 98%, were open for either dine-in service or off-premise service comprised of take-out and delivery, and 59 were temporarily closed.

Applebee’s Reopening Update

As of March 31, 2021, out of 1,596 domestic Applebee’s franchise and company-operated restaurants, 1,590, or approximately 100%, were open for either dine-in service or off-premise service comprised of take-out and delivery, and 6 were temporarily closed. This compares to as December 31, 2020, when out of 1,600 domestic Applebee’s franchise and company-operated restaurants, 1,591 were open for either dine-in service or off-premise service comprised of take-out and delivery, and 9 were temporarily closed.

IHOP Reopening Update

As of March 31, 2021, out of 1,660 domestic IHOP franchise and area license restaurants, 1,634, or 98%, were open for either dine-in service or off-premise service comprised of take-out and delivery, and 26 were temporarily closed. This compares to as of December 31, 2020, when out of 1,670 domestic IHOP franchise and area license restaurants, 1,620 were open for either dine-in service or off-premise service comprised of take-out and delivery, and 50 were temporarily closed.

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, 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

Reconciliation of the Company's net income to “adjusted EBITDA.” The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income, 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 months ended March 31, 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, IHOP franchise restaurants and IHOP area license restaurants for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and sales by company-operated 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 year for domestic restaurants that have been operated throughout 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 throughout both fiscal periods being compared may be different from period to period.
