The earnings call presents a mixed outlook. While Applebee's showed significant improvements in sales and traffic, other areas such as IHOP's sales performance and adjusted EBITDA were less positive. Strategic initiatives like menu innovation and dual-brand expansion show promise, but financial metrics reveal some challenges.

Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

During the Dine Brands Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, the company provided detailed guidance and updates on its performance metrics.

The company also completed a refinancing transaction, securing $600 million in senior secured notes with a 6.72% fixed coupon rate.
