--Net earnings for the 26-week period ended June 25, 2006 were $47.6 million, or $0.63 per diluted share.

--Total system-wide sales for the quarter increased by 5.7 percent over the prior year. System-wide sales are a non-GAAP financial measure that includes sales at all company and franchise Applebee's restaurants, as reported by franchisees.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The company updated its guidance with respect to its business outlook for the remainder of fiscal year 2006:

--Approximately 125 new restaurants are expected to open in 2006, including approximately 35 company restaurants and at least 90 franchise restaurants. Through the second quarter, 64 new restaurants have opened system-wide, including 19 company and 45 franchised restaurants. Approximately 6 company restaurants are expected to open in the third quarter, with the balance opening in the fourth quarter of the year. Approximately 20 to 25 franchise restaurants are expected to open in the third quarter, with the remainder opening in the fourth quarter.

 the macro consumer environment and in consideration of recent results, the company now expects system-wide comparable sales for the remainder of the year to be in a range from flat to down 4.0 percent, which would result in full year system-wide comparable sales in a range from flat to down 2.0 percent.

--Overall restaurant margins before pre-opening expense for the full year are expected to be less than fiscal year 2005 results and will be dependent on comparable sales performance at company restaurants. Higher energy costs, including utilities, fuel surcharges and packaging costs, are expected to continue to have a negative impact on margins, but will be partially offset by the impact of a change in accounting convention for smallwares that was implemented in the second quarter.
