**Dine Brands Global, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025 Results** 

**PASADENA, Calif., February 25, 2026** – Dine Brands Global, Inc. (NYSE: DIN) (the "Company" or "Dine Brands"), the parent company of Applebee's Neighborhood Grill + Bar<sup>®</sup>, IHOP<sup>®</sup> and Fuzzy's Taco Shop<sup>®</sup> restaurants, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025.

"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 John Peyton, Chief Executive Officer of Dine Brands. "Our focus is on the guest experience, everyday value and continued menu innovation to drive improvements in sales and traffic. Development initiatives anchored by our dual brands strategy continue to build momentum, and strong franchisee engagement positions us well to enter 2026 with an ongoing commitment to create long-term shareholder value."

Vance Chang, Chief Financial Officer of Dine Brands, added, "In 2025, we completed our debt refinancing and continued to return capital to shareholders, all while maintaining a strong balance sheet. Our 2026 guidance reflects continued targeted investments in growth initiatives that are supported by improving trends across both our franchise business and our company-owned portfolio and we will continue to focus on efficiently deploying capital towards projects with high return on investment."

**Domestic Restaurant Sales for the Fourth Quarter of 2025** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Applebee's year-over-year comparable domestic same-restaurant sales decreased 0.4% for the fourth quarter
of 2025. Off-premise sales accounted for 23.0% of sales mix in the fourth quarter of 2025 representing per restaurant average weekly sales of approximately $11,900.

**Page 1 of 14**

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• IHOP's year-over-year domestic comparable same-restaurant sales increased 0.3% for the fourth quarter of
2025. Off-premise sales accounted for 21.2% of sales mix in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing per restaurant average weekly sales of approximately $8,500.

**Fourth Quarter of 2025 Summary** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $217.6 million compared to $204.8 million for the
fourth quarter of 2024. 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 Applebee's and IHOP restaurants from franchisees, offset by a
decrease in franchise revenues due to a decrease in the number of franchise restaurants after our acquisition of franchised Applebee's and IHOP restaurants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• General and Administrative ("G&A") expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were
$51.5 million, which includes the Q4 recovery of fees from a franchisee, as compared to $52.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net loss available to common stockholders was $12.3 million, or loss per diluted share of $(0.93), for the
fourth quarter of 2025 compared to net income available to common stockholders of $5.0 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.34 for the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease includes a non-cash $29 million impairment charge of an intangible asset.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-GAAP adjusted net
income<sup>1</sup> available to common stockholders was $19.4 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.46, for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to adjusted net income available to
common stockholders of $12.9 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.87, for the fourth quarter of 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Loss before income taxes for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $16.6 million compared to income before income
taxes of $7.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Consolidated adjusted EBITDA<sup>2</sup> for the fourth quarter of 2025
was $59.8 million compared to $50.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Development activity by Applebee's and IHOP franchisees for the fourth quarter of 2025 resulted in 40 new
restaurant openings and 13 restaurant closures.

**2025 Summary** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total 2025 revenues were $879.3 million compared to $812.3 million for the prior year. The increase was
primarily attributable to the acquisition of restaurants in late 2024 and 2025 partially offset by a decrease in franchise revenues as a result of those acquisitions and a decrease in rental revenues.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• G&A expenses for 2025 were $203.8 million compared to $196.7 million for 2024. The increase
includes compensation and professional service expenses partially offset by the recovery of fees from a franchisee.

**Page 2 of 14**

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net income available to common stockholders was $16.0 million, or earnings per diluted share of $1.11, for
2025 compared to net income available to common stockholders of $63.0 million, or earnings per diluted share of $4.22 for 2024. The decrease includes a $29 million non-cash impairment charge of an
intangible asset.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-GAAP adjusted net
income<sup>1</sup> available to common stockholders was $63.5 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $4.45, for 2025 compared to adjusted net income available to common stockholders of
$79.8 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $5.34, for 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Income before income taxes for 2025 was $25.2 million compared to $89.5 million for 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Consolidated adjusted EBITDA<sup>2</sup> for 2025 was
$219.8 million compared to $239.8 million for 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash flows provided by operating activities for 2025 were $89.0 million. This compares to cash flows
provided by operating activities of $108.2 million for 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in segment profit and an increase in working capital.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted free cash flow<sup>3</sup> was $61.5 million for 2025.
This compares to adjusted free cash flow of $106.4 million for 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Development activity by Applebee's and IHOP franchisees for 2025 resulted in 73 new restaurant openings and
110 restaurant closures. This includes 28 domestic dual-branded openings and 18 international dual-branded openings.

**Effective Tax Rate** 

The fiscal year 2025 effective tax rate of 32% was different than the statutory Federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to state and local taxes and a lower tax deduction related to stock-based compensation.

**Key Balance Sheet Metrics (as of December 28, 2025)** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $201.7 million, of which approximately
$128.2 million was unrestricted cash.

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

**Capital Returns to Equity Holders** 

During 2025, the Company repurchased approximately $61 million of its common stock and paid approximately $31 million in dividends. In 2024, the Company repurchased approximately $12 million of its common stock and paid approximately $31 million in dividends.

On February 20, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared and approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on April 10, 2026, to the Company's stockholders of record at the close of business on March 18, 2026.

**Financial Performance Guidance for 2026** 

The Company introduced its fiscal 2026 guidance items:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Applebee's domestic system-wide comparable same-restaurant sales performance is expected to range between
0% and 2%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• IHOP's domestic system-wide comparable same-restaurant sales performance is expected to range between 0%
and 2%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Domestic development activity for Applebee's is expected to be between 15 and 5 net fewer restaurants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Domestic development activity for IHOP is expected to be between 10 net fewer restaurants and 10 net new
openings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our domestic development activity includes at least 50 domestic dual-branded openings, primarily driven by
franchisees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

**Fourth Quarter of 2025 Earnings Conference Call Details** 

Dine Brands will host a conference call to discuss its results on **February 25, 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 <u>https://investors.dinebrands.com</u>.

Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date hereof and the Company does not intend to, nor does it assume any obligation to, update or supplement any forward-looking statements after the date hereof to reflect actual results or future events or circumstances.

**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.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures** 

**(in millions)** 

**(Unaudited)** 

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, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, gain or loss on disposition of assets, 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)** 

Dual-branded restaurants are defined as restaurants that operate our IHOP and Applebee's restaurant concepts under two separate franchise agreements but within one restaurant location. Because of this, each dual-branded restaurant is counted as part of both IHOP and Applebee's restaurant count and activity.

As of December 28, 2025, we had 27 dual-branded domestic IHOP and Applebee's restaurant locations. Of these 27 locations, we had 26 existing IHOP or Applebee's restaurants which added a second brand and one new restaurant which added both brands, totaling 28 dual-branded domestic openings.

As of December 28, 2025, we had 32 dual-branded international IHOP and Applebee's restaurant locations. Of these 32 locations, we had 10 existing IHOP or Applebee's restaurants which added a second brand and four new restaurants which added both brands, totaling 18 dual-branded international openings in 2025. The remaining dual-branded locations were opened prior to 2025.

As of December 29, 2024, we had 18 dual-branded international IHOP and Applebee's restaurant locations. Of these 18 locations, we had four existing IHOP or Applebee's restaurants which added a second brand and seven new restaurants which added both brands, totaling 18 dual-branded international openings in 2024. The remaining dual-branded locations were opened prior to 2024.

As our dual-branded business expands, we may reevaluate how these restaurants are counted in future disclosures.
