DineEquity, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2016 Results

August 3, 2016 8:00 AM

GLENDALE, Calif., Aug. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DineEquity, Inc. (NYSE: DIN), the parent company of Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar® and IHOP® restaurants, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

"We posted growth in adjusted earnings per diluted share for the second quarter, despite soft comparable sales at Applebee's and IHOP. While we are dissatisfied with the comparable sales results, we are confident in our clear long-term strategies for both brands," said Julia A. Stewart, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DineEquity, Inc.

Ms. Stewart concluded, "These long-term strategies will build our brands across the spectrum of food and beverage innovation, social and digital marketing, development expansion as well as platforms to meet the convenience needs of today's consumer, such as delivery, to-go initiatives and mobile applications to name a few."

Second Quarter Fiscal 2016 Financial Summary

  • GAAP net income available to common stockholders was $26.4 million for the second quarter of 2016, or earnings per diluted share of $1.45. This compares to net income available to common stockholders of $26.5 million, or earnings per diluted share of $1.40, for the second quarter of 2015. The slight decrease in GAAP net income was mainly due to higher closure and impairment charges and an increase in general and administrative expenses. The decrease was partially offset by lower income tax expense, higher gross profit and a decline in interest expense. The increase in earnings per diluted share was due to a decrease in weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
  • Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $28.8 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.59, for the second quarter of 2016. This compares to $28.9 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.53, for the same period of 2015. The slight decrease in adjusted net income was mainly due to higher general and administrative expenses. The increase in adjusted earnings per diluted share was due to a decrease in weighted average diluted shares outstanding. (See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.)
  • General and administrative expenses were $36.5 million for the second quarter of 2016. This compares to $34.6 million for the same period of 2015. The expected increase was mainly due to higher personnel costs for several senior management positions filled after the first quarter of 2015. Approximately $0.5 million of the general and administrative expenses was related to the strategic consolidation of our restaurant support center announced on September 3, 2015.

First Six Months of Fiscal 2016 Summary

  • GAAP net income available to common stockholders was $51.6 million for the first six months of fiscal 2016, or earnings per diluted share of $2.82. This compares to net income available to common stockholders of $54.6 million, or earnings per diluted share of $2.88, for the first six months of fiscal 2015. The decrease in GAAP net income was primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses and higher closure and impairment charges in the first six months of fiscal 2016 compared to the same period of 2015. The decrease was partially offset by lower income tax expense and a decline in interest expense. Additionally, earnings per diluted share were favorably impacted by a decrease in weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
  • Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $58.0 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $3.17, for the first six months of fiscal 2016. This compares to $60.0 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $3.17, for the same period of fiscal 2015. The decline in adjusted net income was mainly due to higher general and administrative expenses. The decline was partially offset by lower income taxes and a decrease in cash interest expense. Despite the decrease in adjusted earnings, earnings per diluted share were unchanged due to a decrease in weighted average diluted shares outstanding. (See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.)
  • General and administrative expenses were $75.9 million for the first six months of 2016. This compares to $68.8 million for the same period of 2015. The increase was primarily due to higher personnel costs. Approximately $2.6 million of the increase in general and administrative expenses was due to the strategic consolidation of our restaurant support center.
  • In the first six months of fiscal 2016, cash flows from operating activities were $53.9 million compared to $48.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2015. Free cash flow was $56.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2016, compared to $49.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2015. (See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.)

Financial Performance Guidance for Fiscal 2016

DineEquity reiterates its financial performance guidance for fiscal 2016 contained in the press release issued on February 24, 2016 and the Form 8-K filed on February 24, 2016, except for the revisions noted below.

  • Revised Applebee's comparable same-restaurant sales performance to range between negative 3.0% and negative 4.5%. This compares to the previous expectations of between negative 2.0% and positive 2.0%.
  • Revised IHOP's comparable same-restaurant sales performance to range between positive 0.5% and positive 2.0%. This compares to the previous expectations of between positive 1.0% and positive 4.0%.
  • Revised expectations for Applebee's franchisees to develop between 25 and 33 new restaurants, reflecting a reduction from previous expectations of between 35 and 45 new restaurants. IHOP franchisees and its area licensee are expected to develop between 65 and 77 new restaurants. This compares to the previous projections of between 60 and 70 new restaurants.
  • Revised expectations for Franchise segment profit to be between $342 million and $352 million. This compares to the previous expectations of between $345 million and $360 million.
  • Reiterated expectations for the Rental and Financing segments to generate roughly $40 million in combined profit.
  • Reiterated expectations for general and administrative expenses to range between $154 million and $158 million, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense and depreciation of approximately $20 million. This amount includes approximately $4 million of non-recurring costs related to our restaurant support center consolidation.
  • Reiterated expectations for interest expense to be approximately $62 million. Approximately $3 million is projected to be non-cash interest expense.
  • Revised expectations for weighted average diluted shares outstanding to be approximately 18.2 million shares. This compares to the previous expectations of approximately 18.5 million shares.
  • Reiterated expectations for the income tax rate to be approximately 37%.
  • Revised expectations for cash flows provided by operating activities to range between $112 million and $120 million. This compares to previous expectations of between $115 million and $125 million.
  • Reiterated expectations for capital expenditures to be roughly $8 million.
  • Revised expectations for free cash flow (See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below) to range between $113 million and $121 million. This compares to the original expectations of between $116 million and $126 million. Our guidance reflects non-recurring tax payments totaling approximately $10 million related to deferred gains from the repurchase of our debt, primarily in 2008 and 2009, approximately $9 million in pre-tax cash payments related to our restaurant support center consolidation and the impact of fiscal 2016 containing 52 weeks compared to 53 weeks in fiscal 2015, taking into account the effect on working capital, including gift card receivables.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release includes references to the Company's non-GAAP financial measures "adjusted net income available to common stockholders (adjusted EPS)," "free cash flow," and "segment EBITDA." "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. "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. "Segment EBITDA" for a given period is defined as gross profit plus depreciation and amortization as well as interest charges related to the segment. Management utilizes free cash flow to determine the amount of cash available for general corporate and strategic purposes and for the return of cash to stockholders pursuant to our capital allocation strategy. Management believes this information is helpful to investors to determine the Company's adherence to debt covenants and the Company's cash available for these purposes. Adjusted EPS and 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 United States generally accepted accounting principles.

(Unaudited)

Reconciliation of the Company's cash provided by operating activities to "free cash flow" (cash provided by operating activities, plus receipts from notes and equipment contracts receivable, less additions to property and equipment). We believe this information is helpful to investors to determine our cash available for general corporate purposes and for the return of cash to stockholders pursuant to our capital allocation strategy, and is the same measure used by management for these purposes.

Restaurant Data

The following table sets forth, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, 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. 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 may be partially 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.

"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.

(b)

"System-wide" sales are retail sales at 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. Sales at restaurants that are owned by franchisees and area licensees are not attributable to the Company. Unaudited reported sales for Applebee's domestic franchise restaurants, IHOP franchise restaurants and IHOP area license restaurants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 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. Same-restaurant sales percentage change does not include data on IHOP area license restaurants located in Florida.
