CORRECTING and REPLACING Dine Brands Global, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 ResultsMay 6, 2026 3:32 PM
Business Wire Dine Brands has reissued its Q1 2026 earnings release to correct the Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS number originally referenced in the release. The press release also reflects updates to the non-GAAP reconciliations. The updated release reads:  DINE BRANDS GLOBAL, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS 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 first quarter of fiscal year 2026. “Dine Brands reported improved comp sales versus the prior year with all brands outperforming Black Box, driven by our focus on everyday value, culturally relevant marketing, and disciplined execution,” said John Peyton, Chief Executive Officer of Dine Brands. “We’re confident in the progress of our strategy and continue to make great progress on our dual brand opportunity where we remain on track to achieve approximately 80 domestic restaurants by the end of the year.” Vance Chang, Chief Financial Officer of Dine Brands, added, “Our continued investment in dual brand development, remodels, and our company owned portfolio is driven by the positive feedback from our franchisees and our guests. Our asset lite model allows us to fund long term value creation initiatives while providing support to our franchisees and returning capital to shareholders concurrently. We remain committed to our capital allocation priorities." Domestic Restaurant Sales for the First Quarter of 2026 Applebee’s year-over-year comparable domestic same-restaurant sales increased 1.9% for the first quarter of 2026. Off-premise sales accounted for 23.9% of sales mix in the first quarter of 2026. IHOP’s year-over-year domestic comparable same-restaurant sales remained flat for the first quarter of 2026. Off-premise sales accounted for 21.5% of sales mix in the first quarter of 2026. First Quarter of 2026 Summary Total revenues for the first quarter of 2026 were $225.2 million compared to $214.8 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher company-owned restaurant sales, mainly attributable to the increase in the number and timing of when we acquired restaurants from franchisees. General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $53.1 million compared to $51.3 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by employee costs as we invest in our dual-brand and company-owned restaurant initiatives. Net income available to common stockholders was $7.2 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.57, for the first quarter of 2026 compared to net income available to common stockholders of $7.8 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.53 for the first quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP adjusted net income1 available to common stockholders was $11.1 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.88, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to adjusted net income available to common stockholders of $15.4 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.03, for the first quarter of 2025. Income before income taxes for the first quarter of 2026 was $10.1 million compared to income before income taxes of $12.8 million for the first quarter of 2025. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA2 for the first quarter of 2026 was $50.8 million compared to $54.7 million for the first quarter of 2025. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 2026 were $7.5 million. This compares to cash flows provided by operating activities of $16.1 million for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the year over year impact of performance plan compensation payments. Adjusted free cash flow3 was negative $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2026. This compares to adjusted free cash flow of $14.6 million for the first quarter of 2025. Development activity by Applebee’s and IHOP for the first quarter of 2026 resulted in 24 new restaurant openings and 40 restaurant closures. Effective Tax Rate The Company's effective tax rate was 27.3% for the three months ended March 29, 2026, as compared to 35.9% for the three months ended March 30, 2025. _________________________________ 1 See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) available to common stockholders to adjusted net income available to common stockholders. 2 See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to consolidated adjusted EBITDA. 3 See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for reconciliation of the Company’s cash flows provided by operating activities to adjusted free cash flow. Key Balance Sheet Metrics (as of March 29, 2026) Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $172.9 million, of which approximately $104.2 million was unrestricted cash. Available borrowing capacity under the 2025 Variable Funding Senior Notes, Class A-1 is approximately $225 million. Capital Returns to Equity Holders During the first quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased approximately $22 million of its common stock and paid approximately $2.5 million in dividends. Financial Performance Guidance for 2026 The Company reiterated its fiscal 2026 guidance items: Applebee’s domestic system-wide comparable same-restaurant sales performance is expected to range between 0% and 2%. IHOP’s domestic system-wide comparable same-restaurant sales performance is expected to range between 0% and 2%. Domestic development activity for Applebee’s is expected to be between 15 and 5 net fewer restaurants. Domestic development activity for IHOP is expected to be between 10 net fewer restaurants and 10 net new openings. Our domestic development activity includes at least 50 domestic dual-branded openings, primarily driven by franchisees. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is expected to range between approximately $220 million and $230 million. Our outlook reflects the positive trends in our franchise business and modest improvement in our company-owned restaurants which is based on our existing portfolio. G&A expenses are expected to range between approximately $205 million and $210 million. This total includes non-cash stock-based compensation expense and depreciation of approximately $35 million. Capital expenditures are expected to range between approximately $25 million and $35 million. 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. First Quarter of 2026 Earnings Conference Call Details Dine Brands will host a conference call to discuss its results on May 6, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time. A live webcast of the call, along with a replay will be available for a limited time at https://investors.dinebrands.com.

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.

Dine Brands shares slip despite Q4 earnings beat as revenue misses expectationsFebruary 25, 2026 9:29 AM
IH Market News
Dine Brands Global (NYSE:DIN), the parent company of Applebee’s, IHOP and Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, reported fourth-quarter results that topped earnings forecasts but fell short on revenue, sending shares lower in after-hours trading.The company posted adjusted earnings per share of $1.46, comfortably exceeding analyst expectations of $1.07 by $0.39.Revenue came in at $217.6 million, below the consensus estimate of $226.52 million, though still representing a 6.3% increase from $204.8 million in the same quarter a year earlier. Shares declined 2.09% following the announcement.Dine Brands reported a GAAP net loss attributable to common shareholders of $12.3 million, or -$0.93 per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.0 million, or $0.34 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2024. The loss was largely driven by a non-cash impairment charge of $29 million related to an intangible asset.Operational performance was mixed across brands. Applebee’s domestic comparable same-restaurant sales slipped 0.4% year over year, while IHOP recorded a modest 0.3% increase in comparable domestic sales.Total revenue growth was mainly supported by higher sales at company-operated restaurants following the acquisition of franchised locations, partially offset by lower franchise-related revenue.“In 2025 our brands’ performance improved as we made meaningful progress against our strategic priorities by strengthening the fundamentals of the business and positioning our brands for long-term growth,” said Chief Executive Officer John Peyton.Looking ahead, Dine Brands expects consolidated adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2026 to range between $220 million and $230 million, implying a midpoint of $225 million. The company forecasts domestic same-restaurant sales growth of between 0% and 2% for both Applebee’s and IHOP.General and administrative expenses are projected at $205 million to $210 million, while planned capital expenditures are expected to total between $25 million and $35 million.Dine Brands Global stock price

Original: Applebee’s Date Night Pass® Is Back

IMO, best way to hurt Newsom and Flynn is by not giving them what they want, your money.😅

Personally, I have boycotted anything and everything that Greg Flynn and/or Newsom may have involvement in. Does it not seem strange that fast food places in CA are getting hit with the new minimum wage laws and these places like Panera, Applebee's, Taco Bell, Chilis, anything that is tied to these 2 individuals, are not? Is there some sort of Monopoly playing out here, where fast food places are being driven to bankruptcy or closer, leaving the mentioned restaurants intact that the minimum wage does not apply? Seems strange to me.

Took a position at 72.00 this morning.

In at 76.5 out at 86.5...shoulda woulda coulda sold in the 90's...

Just a slow steady uptick week over week...I don't know how long this can go on...LOL...but it's been months...

DineEquity, Inc. (NYSE: DIN), the world's largest full-service restaurant company, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, IHOP Franchise Company, LLC, has signed a multi-restaurant franchise agreement with an affiliated entity of Kuwait-based M.H. Alshaya Co., WLL, for the development of 40 new IHOP Restaurants in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain and Egypt. The agreement marks the first major expansion of the IHOP chain outside of North America and represents the largest international development deal in the brand's history. DineEquity is the parent company of IHOP and Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar Restaurants, which comprise over 3,500 restaurants combined.

"This agreement illustrates our commitment to grow our business by leveraging DineEquity's valuable brands and expanding beyond the markets we have traditionally served," said Julia Stewart, DineEquity's Chairman & CEO. "We look forward to working with Alshaya to make IHOP, with its unmistakable offerings and excellent service, a destination of choice for guests throughout the Middle East."

IHOP will be one of the most recognized American family dining brands to enter the Middle East when its restaurants begin to open in the area over the next 12 months. Alshaya has a successful history of operating leading international brands in the region and plans to open the 40 IHOP restaurants there during the next five years.

"Consumers in the Middle East consistently tell us that they want the great quality and value that IHOP represents and we are pleased to introduce this leading American dining brand here," said Mohammed Alshaya, Executive Chairman, Alshaya. "The popularity and international appeal of the IHOP brand, combined with our proven track record of operating and delivering exceptional service customized to the local market promises to create a powerful partnership."

IHOP's development program has historically focused exclusively on North America, with restaurants located throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Recent international development has taken the brand to Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guatemala. IHOP plans to open between 55-65 new restaurants in 2011, the majority of which are expected to open in the U.S.

Jean Birch, IHOP President, said: "The Alshaya agreement marks a major milestone in IHOP's international development strategy and reflects our commitment to make the brand accessible to more guests. IHOP is an icon in the industry, and we are proud to partner with one of the premier franchisees of international brands in the Middle East to deliver our delicious food and warm service to an entirely new set of guests and their families."

The opening of traditional IHOP restaurants, both domestically and abroad, is one of the key tactics in fulfilling the ongoing strategy to expand the brand's accessibility to new and current guests. IHOP opened its milestone 1,500th restaurant last year, and currently has a franchise development pipeline of more than 300 restaurants. In addition to traditional restaurant development, IHOP has also embarked on other growth opportunities, including the development of express concepts for non-traditional venues such as college and university campuses, military bases and airports, as well as licensing its name for select retail products. In May, IHOP launched "IHOP at Home," a line of premium frozen breakfast foods. The items, which are available at almost 3,000 Walmart stores in the U.S., include French Toast Stuffed Pastries, Omelet Crispers and Griddle 'n Sausage Wraps.
