Dine Brands Global, parent of IHOP, Applebee’s and Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, uses a predominantly franchised model across 3,509 restaurants as of December 28, 2025. About 1,812 locations are IHOP, 1,520 are Applebee’s and 105 are Fuzzy’s, with most units run by independent franchisees.
The company operates three segments: Franchise, Company-owned restaurants and Rental, with roughly 74% of 2025 revenue generated by IHOP and Applebee’s and less than 2% from international markets. Dine Brands continues to expand dual-branded IHOP/Applebee’s sites and has signed commitments for new IHOP, Applebee’s and Fuzzy’s development over the next several years.
The business carries significant leverage, with approximately $1.2 billion of long-term debt and about $0.4 billion of lease and other financing obligations as of December 28, 2025. Key risks highlighted include inflationary pressures on food, labor and utilities, heavy reliance on franchisees’ financial health, cybersecurity threats, substantial securitized debt covenants and potential impairment charges. As of January 23, 2026, Dine Brands had 13,046,383 common shares outstanding and a non-affiliate equity market value of $371.7 million as of June 27, 2025.

Adjusted metrics softened: adjusted EBITDA was $219.8M versus $239.8M, and diluted adjusted EPS was $4.45 versus $5.34. Adjusted free cash flow fell to $61.5M from $106.4M. Same-restaurant sales declined at IHOP and Fuzzy’s and grew modestly at Applebee’s.
