| Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition |
On May 6, 2026, Dine Brands Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), issued a press release announcing its first quarter 2026 financial results (the “Earnings Release”). Subsequent to the issuance of the Earnings Release, the Corporation discovered that, due to an inadvertent error, adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2026 was reported as $13.5 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share was reported as $1.07. The correct adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2026 is $11.1 million and the correct adjusted earnings per diluted share is $0.88. A press release reflecting these corrections is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share are 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. Please refer to the attached Earnings Release for additional discussion of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share and reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
The corrections described above did not impact the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation and related notes included in the Corporation’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 29, 2026, filed with the SEC on May 6, 2026.
The information contained in this Item 2.02, including the related information set forth in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein, is being “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise. The information in this Item 2.02 shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or into any filing or other document pursuant to the Exchange Act, except as otherwise expressly stated in any such filing.
