Accounts receivable primarily includes receivables due from franchisees and distributors. Gift card receivables consist
primarily of amounts due from third-party vendors. Interest is not charged on gift card receivables.
Financing receivables primarily relate to IHOP franchise development activity prior to 2003 when IHOP typically leased or
purchased the restaurant site, built and equipped the restaurant then franchised the restaurant to a franchisee. IHOP provided the
financing for the franchise fee, leasing of the equipment and the leasing or subleasing of the site. Equipment lease contracts are
due in equal weekly installments, primarily bear interest averaging 9.8% per annum at both December 31, 2015 and 2014 and
are collateralized by the equipment. The term of an equipment lease contract coincides with the term of the corresponding
restaurant building lease. The IHOP franchise fee notes have a term of five to eight years and are due in equal weekly
installments, primarily bear interest averaging 5.9% and 6.4% per annum at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and are
collateralized by the franchise. Where applicable, franchise fee notes, equipment contracts and building leases contain cross-
default provisions wherein a default under one constitutes a default under all. There is not a disproportionate concentration of
credit risk in any geographic area.
The primary indicator of the credit quality of financing receivables is delinquency. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014,
approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of financing receivables were delinquent more than 90 days.
