Good morning, and welcome to Dine Brands' first quarter conference call. I'm joined by John Peyton, CEO; Vance Chang, CFO; Jay Johns, President of IHOP; and John Cywinski, President of Applebee's.
Before I turn the call over to John, please remember our safe harbor regarding forward-looking information. During the call, management may discuss information that is forward-looking and involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results to be different than those expressed or implied. Please evaluate the forward-looking information in the context of these factors, which are detailed in today's press release and 10-Q filing. The forward-looking statements are as of today and assumes no obligation to update or supplement these statements. We may also refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are described in our press release and also available on Dine Brands' Investor Relations website. I would like to highlight that all references to the same restaurant comparable sales will be relative to the prior year. We will no longer disclose comp sales relative to 2019 or 2020.
With that, I'll turn the call over to John.

Thanks, Ken, and good morning, everyone. On behalf of John, Jay and Vance, thanks for joining us for our first quarter earnings call. Q1 was a strong quarter with great results, and that's because our bold choices and smart investments are paying off. We're accomplishing so much, especially in this challenging environment. That's thanks to our focus on execution and innovation. I'm so glad many of you could attend our Investor Day in March. And based on the feedback we've heard that you see strength in our growth plan and the way our leadership team is aligned.
