SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 17, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Dolby Laboratories (NYSE:DLB) today announced the Company's financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2005.
For the fourth quarter, Dolby reported total revenue of $78.9 million, compared to $68.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, an increase of 15%. Fourth quarter net income was $16.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $3.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.
Per share calculations are based on 110.5 million diluted shares in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 compared with 96.8 million diluted shares in the comparable year-ago quarter. The increase in shares is principally attributable to the shares sold by the Company in its February 2005 initial public offering (IPO).
Net income for the fourth quarter 2005 includes a foreign exchange gain of approximately $1.4 million. This gain is primarily the result of an increase in US dollars held in Dolby's UK branch, and is reflected under "Other Income." For the foreseeable future, the Company intends to hold the majority of its cash generated at its UK office in the local currency and therefore does not expect to incur significant foreign exchange gains or losses.
In connection with the Company's IPO, Ray Dolby contributed to the Company all of his intellectual property rights related to the Company's business, which he had previously licensed to the Company in exchange for royalty payments. As a result of the contribution, the Company's royalty payments to Ray Dolby terminated in February 2005. Consequently, net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 did not include any royalty payments to Ray Dolby, while the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 included $6.3 million of royalty payments to Ray Dolby, net of taxes. Pro forma net income, which excludes royalty payments to Ray Dolby, was $16.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to $9.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.
Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 also included stock-based compensation charges of $2.7 million, compared to $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.
Fiscal Year 2005
For fiscal year 2005, Dolby reported total revenue of $328 million, compared to $289 million for fiscal year 2004. Net income for the same period was $52.3 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to $39.8 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for fiscal 2004. The Company had 104.2 million diluted shares outstanding for the full year fiscal 2005, compared with 92.8 million diluted shares for the full year fiscal 2004.
Net income also included $11.1 million in now-discontinued royalty payments to Ray Dolby, net of taxes, for fiscal year 2005, and $23.5 million in royalty payments to Ray Dolby, net of taxes, for fiscal year 2004. Pro forma net income, which excludes these royalty payments, net of taxes, was $63.4 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the 2005 fiscal year, compared to $63.3 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, for fiscal 2004.
Net income also included $14.2 million of stock-based compensation charges for fiscal year 2005, compared with a $6.8 million charge for fiscal 2004.
"I am very proud of the hard work and dedication that the Dolby team showed this year. As a new public company, we achieved record revenue in fiscal 2005," said Bill Jasper, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In the fourth quarter, we continued to lay the groundwork for the Company's future. We expanded our technology and brand into the digital cinema arena; we further extended into new and growing consumer markets; and we broadened our management team with the addition of Kevin Yeaman as our new Chief Financial Officer."
Guidance
For fiscal 2006, revenue is currently expected to be $335 million to $360 million. Net income is expected to be between $53 million and $65 million. Earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.46 to $0.56. While under FAS 123R, stock based compensation may vary based on factors such as stock price or volatility, Dolby currently expects stock compensation for the full year to be between $19 million and $21 million.
Pro Forma Information
Prior to the Company's IPO, Ray Dolby retained ownership of the intellectual property he created related to the Company's business and licensed those rights to the Company in exchange for royalty payments. In connection with the Company's IPO, Ray Dolby contributed to the Company all of these intellectual property rights. The pro forma financial information included in this release gives effect to the asset contribution as though such transactions had been completed prior to the beginning of fiscal 2004. Specifically, the Company provides net income and EPS excluding royalties paid to Ray Dolby. The Company believes these are important metrics as they represent profitability exclusive of the charges that have now been eliminated. The Company uses these metrics internally to measure its performance and believes these metrics may be meaningful for investors in analyzing the Company's results of operations. A reconciliation of the Company's actual results to these additional metrics is included in this release.
