________________________________

(a) Revenues have been impacted by the refranchising of 286 Applebee's company-operated restaurants over the past two years as follows: 17 in the first quarter of 2012, 98 in the third quarter of 2012, 39 in the fourth quarter of 2012, 65 in the first quarter of 2011, one in the third quarter of 2011 and 66 in the fourth quarter of 2011.

(b) Net income (loss) was impacted by gains on disposition of assets (primarily the refranchising and sale of related restaurant assets of Applebee's company-operated restaurants) of $16.7 million in the first quarter of 2012, $73.6 million in the third quarter of 2012, $13.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, $23.8 million in the first quarter of 2011 and $22.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.

(c) The quarterly amounts may not add to the full year amount as each quarterly calculation is discrete from the full-year calculation.

(d) The net income and net loss per share were significantly impacted by approximately $21 million of charges related to the termination of the sublease for the Applebee's Restaurant Support Center in Lenexa, Kansas in the 2nd quarter of 2011.
