Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of DineEquity, Inc. and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DineEquity, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of January 3, 2016 and
December 28, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended January 3, 2016. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of DineEquity, Inc. and Subsidiaries at January 3, 2016 and December 28, 2014, and the consolidated results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 3, 2016, in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
DineEquity, Inc. and Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of January 3, 2016, based on criteria established
in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(2013 framework) and our report dated February 24, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
