Dolby Laboratories Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2011 Results

08/04/2011

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

For the third quarter, Dolby reported total revenue of $219.0 million, compared to $230.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

Third quarter GAAP net income was $61.7 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared to $63.5 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. On a non-GAAP basis, third quarter net income was $72.8 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, compared to $71.1 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the third 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.

"Fiscal third quarter licensing growth was led by broadcast and mobile, where we experienced the continued adoption of our formats globally," said Kevin Yeaman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dolby Laboratories. "In China, Dolby Digital Plus was included as an option in its final digital TV standard, and in Poland the leading free-to-air channel began broadcasting in Dolby Digital Plus."

Financial Targets

For fiscal 2011, Dolby is now targeting revenue of $930 million to $955 million.

GAAP

For fiscal 2011, Dolby continues to target total gross margin of approximately 88 percent. Dolby is now targeting fiscal 2011 operating expenses of $410 million to $417 million and other income of approximately $9 million to $10 million. Dolby continues to target a tax rate of approximately 33 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. While stock-based compensation expense may vary based on factors such as stock price or volatility, Dolby is now targeting stock-based compensation expense for fiscal 2011 of approximately $44 million to $45 million. In addition, Dolby is now targeting charges related to the amortization of acquired intangibles for fiscal 2011 of approximately $15 million and continues to target restructuring charges of approximately $1 million to $2 million.

Non-GAAP

For fiscal 2011, Dolby continues to target total gross margin of approximately 89 percent. Dolby is now targeting fiscal 2011 operating expenses of $360 million to $365 million and other income of approximately $9 million to $10 million. Dolby continues to target a tax rate of approximately 33 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. 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.

Diluted Earnings per Share

Dolby continues to target diluted shares outstanding of approximately 113 million. These targets lead to an updated fiscal 2011 diluted earnings per share target range of $2.61 to $2.70 on a GAAP basis and $2.87 to $2.96 on a non-GAAP basis.

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 intangible assets acquired 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 on our investor relations website at http://investor.dolby.com/medialist.cfm.
