John Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, Throughout the third quarter, brand momentum continued as we generated strong same-store sales growth at both franchised and company restaurants. This includes growth in guest traffic over the past year for the system and since 2013 at company restaurants. We are benefiting from the execution of our brand revitalization efforts focused on enhancing our food, service and atmosphere. With only 30% of the system expected to reflect the successful Heritage image by the end of this year, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to build on our progress. We are also encouraged by the results we are realizing from the ongoing investments made in our brand, in our team members and in our company restaurants. Based on our improved operations, we expect to continue to invest in our strategies to further elevate the Dennys experience, and build on our momentum in the coming years.
Third Quarter Results
Dennys total operating revenue grew 5.8% to $123.8 million resulting from growth in both company restaurant sales and franchise and license revenue. Franchise and license revenue grew 0.9% to $34.5 million. Company restaurant sales expanded 7.8% to $89.3 million, primarily due to the increase in same-store sales and the reopening of the Las Vegas Casino Royale restaurant in November 2014.
In the quarter, Dennys opened nine franchised restaurants, including one international location, and closed five franchised restaurants, bringing the total number of restaurants to 1,700. Domestic system-wide same-store sales grew 6.1%, including a 7.0% increase at company restaurants and a 5.9% increase at domestic franchised restaurants.
Franchise operating margin was $23.9 million, or 69.1% of franchise and license revenue. The $1.0 million improvement was primarily due to an increase in royalties. Company restaurant operating margin increased $3.2 million, or 2.6 percentage points, to $14.2 million, or 15.9% of company restaurant sales, primarily due to the leveraging effect from the growth in same-store sales, partially offset by higher product costs and higher incentive compensation.
Total general and administrative expenses were $16.0 million compared to $13.4 million in the prior year quarter primarily due to increases in share-based compensation and payroll and benefits. Depreciation and amortization expense of $5.4 million increased $0.2 million. Interest expense of $2.3 million was flat compared to the prior year quarter. The provision for income taxes was $3.9 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 30.1%. Due to the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, the Company paid $0.8 million in cash taxes during the quarter.
Denny's (DENN) net income of $9.0 million increased 7.3% compared to prior year quarter net income of $8.3 million, with net income per diluted share of $0.11 growing 9.7% compared to $0.10 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Income per Share* grew 11.6% to $0.11 compared to the prior year quarter.
Dennys generated $12.4 million of Free Cash Flow* in the quarter, after investing $8.4 million on capital expenditures, primarily used to remodel 13 company restaurants and to acquire a franchised restaurant.
Credit Facility Amendment
On October 30, 2015, the Company completed an amendment to its existing revolving credit facility increasing the credit facility to $325 million from $250 million. The maturity date remains March 2020. There was no change to the interest rates for the facility. Borrowings under the credit facility bear a tiered interest rate based, which is based on the Company's consolidated ratio and is currently set at LIBOR plus 150 basis points. Dennys ended the third quarter with $169.7 million of total debt outstanding, including $150.0 million of borrowings under its revolving credit facility.
Capital Allocation
During the third quarter, the Company repurchased 1.5 million shares for $17.7 million. Through the first three quarters of the year, $38.9 million has been allocated to repurchase 3.5 million shares. Subsequent to the quarter, the Company completed the 10 million share repurchase program announced April 25, 2013. As of October 30, 2015, the Company had approximately $92 million remaining under the $100 million authorized share repurchase program. In addition to open market repurchases or transactions conducted under the terms of a Rule 10b5-1 plan, Dennys intends to enter into a $50 million accelerated share repurchase program in the near term.
Business Outlook
Mark Wolfinger, Denny's Executive Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Financial Officer, commented, Our continued strong performance has enabled us to grow year-to-date Adjusted Net Income per Share* by 24%. Through the first three quarters, we have generated $35 million of Free Cash Flow*, after remodels and acquisitions, with our year-to-date allocation towards share repurchases exceeding all of 2014. Going forward, we remain focused on enhancing the growth of our highly franchised business with ongoing investments in our company restaurants while also returning value to our shareholders through our share repurchase program.

Dennys total operating revenue grew 7.6% to $123.3 million resulting from an increase in both company restaurant sales along with franchise and license revenue.
