Dine Brands Global, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

PASADENA, Calif., August 6, 2025 – Dine Brands Global, Inc. (NYSE: DIN) (the “Company” or “Dine Brands”), the parent company of Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill + Bar®, IHOP® and Fuzzy’s Taco Shop® restaurants, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025.

“In the second quarter, we continued to build positive momentum across both Applebee’s and IHOP, with notable improvements in sales and traffic. Applebee’s benefited from strong consumer response to our value-driven promotions and continued innovation in menu and marketing, while IHOP saw growth fueled by its refreshed brand positioning and value strategy. At the same time, our Dual Brands initiative is building traction with our franchisees as our second domestic unit also opened with strong economics. We remain confident that our ongoing investments will generate sustainable value for our shareholders and franchisees based on these results.” said John Peyton, Chief Executive Officer of Dine Brands.

Vance Chang, Chief Financial Officer, Dine Brands added, “In this quarter, we successfully completed a refinancing transaction that strengthens our capital structure and enhances financial flexibility, positioning us well for future growth. We remain committed to delivering shareholder value through sustained financial performance and strategic investment.”

Domestic Restaurant Sales for the Second Quarter of 2025

 

   

Applebee’s year-over-year domestic comparable same-restaurant sales increased 4.9% for the second quarter of 2025. Off-premise sales accounted for 22.0% of sales mix in the second quarter of 2025 representing per restaurant average weekly sales of approximately $12,800.

IHOP’s year-over-year domestic comparable same-restaurant sales declined 2.3% for the second quarter of 2025. Off-premise sales accounted for 20.0% of sales mix in the second quarter of 2025, representing per restaurant average weekly sales of approximately $7,600.

Second Quarter of 2025 Summary

 

   

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2025 were $230.8 million compared to $206.3 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in company restaurant sales attributable mainly to the acquisition of Applebee’s and IHOP restaurants prior to the second quarter of 2025 offset by a decrease in franchise revenues and a decrease in rental income.

 

   

General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $50.8 million compared to $46.9 million for the second quarter of 2024. The variance was primarily attributable to an increase in compensation-related expenses and an increase in professional service fees, both due in part to the G&A expenses related to company restaurant operations as well as dual brand and remodel initiatives.

 

   

GAAP net income available to common stockholders was $13.2 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.89, for the second quarter of 2025 compared to net income available to common stockholders of $22.5 million, or earnings per diluted share of $1.50 for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in segment profit and an increase in G&A expenses.

 

   

Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $17.4 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.17, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to adjusted net income available to common stockholders of $25.6 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.71, for the second quarter of 2024. The decline was primarily due to a decrease in segment profit and an increase in G&A expenses. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for reconciliation of GAAP net income available to common stockholders to adjusted net income available to common stockholders.)

 

   

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2025 was $56.2 million compared to $67.0 million for the second quarter of 2024. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for reconciliation of GAAP net income to consolidated adjusted EBITDA.)

 

   

Development activity by Applebee’s and IHOP franchisees for the second quarter of 2025 resulted in seven new restaurant openings and 46 restaurant closures.

First Six Months of 2025 Summary

 

   

Total revenues for the first six months of 2025 were $445.6 million compared to $412.5 million for the first six months of 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in company restaurant sales attributable mainly to the acquisition of 59 Applebee’s and 10 IHOP restaurants partially offset by a decrease in franchise revenues and a decrease in rental income.

(Unaudited)

 

   

G&A expenses for the first six months of 2025 were $102.1 million compared to $99.0 million for the first six months of 2024. The variance was primarily due to an increase in professional service and legal fees and costs related to company restaurant operations as well as dual brand and remodel initiatives, partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation and a decrease in software maintenance costs.

 

   

GAAP net income available to common stockholders was $21.1 million, or earnings per diluted share of $1.41, for the first six months of 2025 compared to net income available to common stockholders of $39.4 million, or earnings per diluted share of $2.64 for the first six months of 2024. The decline was primarily due to a decrease in segment profit, an increase in closure and impairment charges and an increase in G&A expenses.

 

   

Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $32.8 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $2.20, for the first six months of 2025 compared to adjusted net income available to common stockholders of $45.5 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $3.04, for the first six months of 2024. The decline was primarily due to a decrease in segment profit and an increase in G&A expenses. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for reconciliation of GAAP net income available to common stockholders to adjusted net income available to common stockholders.)

 

   

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2025 was $110.9 million compared to $127.8 million for the first six months of 2024. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for reconciliation of GAAP net income to consolidated adjusted EBITDA.)

 

   

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2025 were $53.1 million. This compares to cash flows provided by operating activities of $52.2 million for the first six months of 2024. The increase was primarily due to a favorable change in working capital primarily due to the timing of income tax payments postponed due to wildfire relief, offset by a decrease in segment profit and higher G&A expenses.

 

   

Adjusted free cash flow was $48.7 million for the first six months of 2025. This compares to adjusted free cash flow of $52.9 million for the first six months of 2024. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for reconciliation of the Company’s cash flows provided by operating activities to adjusted free cash flow.)

 

   

Development activity by Applebee’s and IHOP franchisees for the first six months of 2025 resulted in 16 new restaurant openings and 85 restaurant closures.

Key Balance Sheet Metrics (as of June 30, 2025)

 

   

Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $263.2 million, of which approximately $194.2 million was unrestricted cash.

 

   

Available borrowing capacity under the 2025 Variable Funding Senior Notes, Class A-1 is over $224 million.

GAAP Effective Tax Rate

The Company’s effective tax rate was 30.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to 26.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was higher than the rate of the prior comparable period primarily due to a lower tax deduction related to stock-based compensation, resulting from the changes in our stock price.

Capital Returns to Debt and Equity Holders

As previously disclosed, on June 17, 2025, the Company completed the refinancing of its Series 2019-1 4.723% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-II and issued the Series 2025-1 6.720% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2 with an initial aggregate principal amount of $600 million, which bear interest at a fixed coupon rate of 6.720% per annum, payable quarterly, and have an expected term of five years.

On the same date, the Company also terminated its 2022-1 Variable Funding Senior Notes, Class A-1 and entered into a purchase agreement for the issuance of up to $325 million of Series 2025-1, Class A-1 Variable Funding Senior Notes, which will allow the Company to borrow amounts periodically on a revolving basis and issue letters of credit. The applicable interest rate will depend on the type of borrowing.

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased approximately $6.0 million of its common stock and paid quarterly cash dividends totaling approximately $8.0 million.

Financial Performance Guidance for 2025

As a result of our sales, traffic and dual brand pipeline to date, we are further investing in the business to accelerate development opportunity as well as strengthen our company owned portfolio. As such, the Company‘s fiscal year 2025 guidance items have been updated as follows:

 

   

Updated: Applebee’s domestic system-wide comparable same-restaurant sales performance is expected to range between positive 1% and positive 3% (versus between negative 2% and positive 1% previously).

 

   

Updated: IHOP’s domestic system-wide comparable same-restaurant sales performance is expected to range between negative 1% and positive 1% (versus between negative 1% and positive 2% previously).

 

   

Reiterated: Domestic development activity by Applebee’s franchisees is expected to be between 20 and 35 net fewer restaurants.

 

   

Reiterated: Domestic development activity by IHOP franchisees and area licensees is expected to be between 10 net fewer restaurants and 10 net new openings.

 

   

Updated: Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is expected to range between approximately $220 million and $230 million (versus between $235 million and $245 million previously).

Updated: G&A expenses are expected to range between approximately $205 million and $210 million (versus between $200 million and $205 million previously). This total includes non-cash stock-based compensation expense and depreciation of approximately $35 million.

 

   

Updated: Capital expenditures are expected to range between approximately $30 million and $40 million (versus between $20 million and $30 million previously).

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 measures “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 expense, 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. 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.

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 expense, income tax provision or benefit, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, closure and impairment charges, loss on extinguishment of debt, gain or loss on disposition of assets, executive separation pay, 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 six months ended June 30, 2025 and 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 are 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 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-owned Applebee’s, IHOP and 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, IHOP and Fuzzy’s franchise restaurants, IHOP area license restaurants, and Applebee’s, IHOP and Fuzzy’s company-owned restaurants were as follows:

(c)

“Sales percentage change” reflects, for each category of restaurants, the percentage change in sales in any given fiscal period compared to the prior 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 period, for domestic restaurants that have been operated during both 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.

(e)

The franchise sales percentage change for 2025 was impacted by the acquisition of 47 Applebee’s restaurants in November 2024, 10 IHOP restaurants in March 2025, and 12 Applebee’s restaurants in May 2025 now reported as company-owned.
