Financing Operations
Favorable
(Unfavorable) %
2009 2008 Variance Change
(In millions)
Financing revenues ........................... $17.9 $25.7 $(7.8) 30.4%
Financing expenses ........................... 0.4 7.3 6.9 94.9%
Financing operations segment profit ............... $17.5 $18.4 $(0.9) 4.8%
Segment profit as % of revenue .................. 97.9% 71.6%
All of our financing operations relate to IHOP restaurants. Both revenues and expenses declined
as there was minimal revenue or expense related to the rehabilitation and refranchising of one
restaurant during 2009 as compared with revenues and expenses of $8.1 million and $7.3 million,
respectively, in 2008 related to the rehabilitation and refranchising of 14 restaurants. Additionally,
franchise and equipment note interest declined due to the expected reduction in note balances, partially
offset by a 53rd week of revenue in 2009.
The 53rd week contributed additional financing segment profit of approximately $0.3 million in
2009.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses declined $23.7 million, primarily as the result of savings
related to franchising of Applebee’s company-operated restaurants, integration of Applebee’s and
IHOP administrative functions, other cost reduction initiatives and lower stock-based compensation
expense. Additionally, transition-related costs recorded in 2008 did not recur. These favorable items
were partially offset by $3.0 million of development incentive credits related to the Applebee’s support
center in 2008 that also did not recur in 2009 and higher litigation expenses.
Interest Expense
The $16.7 million decrease in interest expense is primarily due to the retirement of long-term debt
over the past 12 months and, to a lesser extent, to lower interest rates on variable-rate debt. Average
long-term obligations (long-term debt, capital lease obligations and financing obligations) declined
