Dine Brands Global reported mixed second‑quarter 2026 results. Total revenues rose to $240.9 million for the quarter and $466.1 million for the first six months, driven mainly by higher company‑owned restaurant sales from Applebee’s units acquired and opened since the second quarter of 2025.
Franchise revenues declined as more restaurants were converted to company‑owned, proprietary product sales fell, and Applebee’s same‑restaurant sales decreased. Net income was $4.3 million for the quarter and $11.7 million year‑to‑date, as gross profit eased and general and administrative, interest and impairment charges increased.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $172.8 million at June 28, 2026, or $72.8 million net of $100 million outstanding under the credit facility. Adjusted free cash flow for the first half declined to $3.7 million due to lower operating cash flow and higher capital expenditures, while long‑term debt was $1,189.5 million and the debt service coverage ratio was about 3.0x.
Dine Brands Global reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $240.9 million, up from $230.8 million a year earlier, while net income declined to $4.3 million from $13.8 million.

Management highlighted IHOP’s third consecutive quarter of industry outperformance, with Q2 domestic same-restaurant sales up 1.5% and domestic average weekly unit sales of $39.7 thousand. Fuzzy’s Taco Shop posted domestic same-restaurant sales growth of 4.6%, while Applebee’s domestic same-restaurant sales declined 1.8%.
