Dine Brands Q2 2021 Earnings Report
Dine Brands experienced significant improvement in domestic system-wide comparable same-restaurant sales and maintained a strong cash position.
Key Takeaways
Dine Brands Global reported strong second-quarter results, driven by significant improvements in comparable sales for both Applebee's and IHOP.

Applebee’s year-over-year comparable same-restaurant sales increased 102.2%.
IHOP’s comparable same-restaurant sales increased 120.1%.
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA was $71.7 million compared to $12.1 million for the second quarter of 2020.
