Dolby Laboratories Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2011 Results

05/05/2011

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE:DLB) today announced the Company's financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2011.

For the second quarter, Dolby reported total revenue of $250.0 million, compared to $243.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

Second quarter GAAP net income was $82.1 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, compared to $85.9 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. On a non-GAAP basis, second quarter net income was $92.2 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, compared to $93.1 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Dolby's non-GAAP measures exclude expenses related to stock-based compensation, the amortization of intangibles from business combinations, restructuring charges, and the related tax impact of these items.

"Strong performance from broadcast, mobile, and gaming led to higher than expected licensing revenue, while deployments of our cinema products slowed," said Kevin Yeaman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dolby Laboratories. "With our technologies included in a wide range of entertainment devices around the world, we remain focused on extending these technologies into new geographies and new devices."

Financial Targets

For fiscal 2011, Dolby is now targeting revenue of $905 million to $945 million, and continues to target total gross margin of approximately 88 percent on a GAAP basis, and approximately 89 percent on a non-GAAP basis. In addition, on a GAAP basis, Dolby is now targeting fiscal 2011 operating expense of $401 million to $413 million and other income of approximately $6 million to $7 million, and continues to target a tax rate of approximately 30 percent. On a non-GAAP basis, Dolby is now targeting fiscal 2011 operating expense of $350 million to $360 million and other income of approximately $6 million to $7 million, and continues to target a tax rate of approximately 33 percent. Dolby's non-GAAP targets exclude expenses related to stock-based compensation, the amortization of intangibles from business combinations, restructuring charges, and the related tax impact of these items. The non-GAAP measures also exclude the one-time tax benefit resulting from the release of the deferred tax liability for the first quarter of fiscal 2011. While stock-based compensation expense may vary based on factors such as stock price or volatility, Dolby continues to target stock-based compensation expense for fiscal 2011 of approximately $47 million to $48 million. In addition, Dolby continues to target charges related to the amortization of acquired intangibles for fiscal 2011 of approximately $13 million and restructuring charges of approximately $1 million to $2 million. Dolby is now targeting diluted shares outstanding of approximately $113 million.

These targets lead to an updated fiscal 2011 diluted earnings per share target range of $2.49 to $2.65 on a GAAP basis and $2.75 to $2.91 on a non-GAAP basis.

The Company's Conference Call Information

Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement Dolby's financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Dolby provides non-GAAP financial measures of gross margin, operating expense, tax rate, and diluted earnings per share. These measures are adjusted to exclude the charges and expenses discussed above. Dolby presents such non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its financial results to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate Dolby's operating results in a manner that focuses on what Dolby's management believes to be its ongoing business operations. Dolby's management believes it is useful for itself and investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP information that includes the impact of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets through business combinations, restructuring charges, and the related tax impact of all of these items on the provision for income taxes, and the non-GAAP measures that exclude such information in order to assess the performance of Dolby's business for planning and forecasting in subsequent periods. Dolby's management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Whenever Dolby uses such a non-GAAP financial measure, it provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed above. Investors are also encouraged to review Dolby's GAAP financial statements as reported in its SEC filings. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures is provided at the end of this press release and at http://investor.dolby.com/medialist.cfm.
