On July 26, IHOP
- Including stock-based compensation, the company missed earnings badly. However, the estimates likely did not include such compensation. Without it, EPS was flat compared to a year ago.
- The drop in operating and net margins was primarily due to the 21.4% jump in general and administrative expenses. Only one-third of that jump was due to stock-based compensation.
- Same-store sales were up 3.1% for the quarter, which is nice to see, given the current environment.
