ABS: Applebees/IHOP Funding LLC Series 2014-1 Class A2 Updated: Sep 24, 2015
Trade Idea:
o Purchase class A2 Applebees/IHOP Funding ABS whole business securitization transaction which is essentially a secured corporate offering,
with investment grade ratings to allow purchase by rating constrained accounts with a give in liquidity
Investment Rationale:
o Security: The class A2 notes are secured by a security interest in all of the assets of Applebees and IHOP including; contributed and new
franchise and development agreements and the related franchisee payments; franchisee notes and equipment leases; securitization IP and IP
license agreements; contributed and new product sourcing agreements; contributed and new owned real property and franchisee lease
payments; transaction accounts; membership interests in the securitization entities; and, interest reserve letter of credit
o Credit enhancement: The class A2 notes are senior obligations of the capital structure and are protected by an interest reserve account; the
strength of the Applebees and IHOP brands, projected cash flows that support the notes with an expected DSRC of 3.8x; and the robust
transaction structure that includes performance tests, such as rapid amortization and cash trapping events.
0 Structural attributes: Applebee's Funding and IHOP Funding are bankruptcy-remote, limited purpose limited liability companies. Series 2014-1
will include an interest only period whereby interest will be paid quarterly (Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec) with principal expected to be repaid in full on
September 2021. The class A2 notes will experience a 1.0% per annum principal amortization if total leverage exceeds 5.25x. During the
Interest only/partial amortization period, class A2 investors are further protected by cash trap events, rapid amortization events, events of
default and manager termination events. The most notable of these is the cash trap events which would accumulate cash if the Quarterly
DSCR were to decline below 1.75x. Further, if the DSCR were to decline to below 1.3x, a rapid amortization event would occur and all
collections would be used to amortize the class A2 notes.
o Relative value: This is the fourth whole business securitization to be offered by DineEquity featuring the Applebee's and IHOP brands. The
whole business securitization market has evolved over the last 5-7 years with over $14.08 in transaction volume. Considering the quality of
the Applebee's and IHOP brands, the projected cash flows, available credit support, the strong legal and cash flow structure, we see an
opportunity for yield pick-up with the potential for total return as spreads tighten following a Fed rate increase
