Dolby Laboratories Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2012 Results

05/03/2012

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE:DLB) today announced the Company's financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2012.

For the second quarter, Dolby reported total revenue of $260.3 million, compared to $250.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Second quarter GAAP net income was $88.1 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, compared to $82.1 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. On a non-GAAP basis, second quarter net income was $99.2 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, compared to $92.2 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. 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.

"We continue to make excellent progress toward establishing Dolby® Digital Plus as a de facto standard in the online and cloud-based ecosystem," said Kevin Yeaman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dolby Laboratories. "Microsoft® will incorporate Dolby Digital Plus in all versions of its Windows® 8 operating system for PCs and tablets for online and file-based content, and leading providers of cloud-encoding solutions, such as Microsoft's Azure, Encoding.com, Zencoder™, Digital Rapids®, Nativ, and LinkoTec will also adopt Dolby Digital Plus in their platforms."

Microsoft and Dolby have entered into an agreement pursuant to which Microsoft will include Dolby Digital Plus 5.1-channel decoding and Dolby Digital two-channel encoding in Windows 8. Under this arrangement, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) generally will be required to directly license and pay Dolby a base royalty rate for the right to use the Dolby technologies included in Windows 8 and installed on PCs and tablets for online and file-based content. Dolby expects the majority of PCs to continue to ship with optical disc drives when Windows 8 is released and to include optical disc playback functionality. For devices that also include optical disc playback functionality, which will be enabled by independent software vendor (ISV) applications installed on devices running Windows 8, OEMs will be required to pay a higher per-unit rate. This higher rate is consistent with historical rates paid for the inclusion of Dolby disc playback software. Dolby expects to receive only one royalty payment per device containing these technologies.

Dolby does not expect this agreement to affect its fiscal 2012 outlook because Windows 8 is not expected to ship until Dolby's fiscal 2013.

Financial Targets

For fiscal 2012, Dolby is now targeting revenue of $910 million to $960 million.

GAAP

For fiscal 2012, Dolby continues to target total gross margin of approximately 90 percent, operating expenses of $465 million to $475 million, and other income of approximately $5 million. In addition, Dolby is now targeting an effective tax rate of approximately 28 percent to 29 percent for fiscal 2012. Although 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 2012 of approximately $51 million. In addition, Dolby continues to target charges related to the amortization of acquired intangibles for fiscal 2012 of approximately $10 million and restructuring charges of approximately $2 million.

Non-GAAP

For fiscal 2012, Dolby continues to target total gross margin of approximately 91 percent, operating expenses of $410 million to $420 million, and other income of approximately $5 million. In addition, Dolby is now targeting an effective tax rate of approximately 28 percent to 29 percent for fiscal 2012. 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. In addition, the non-GAAP measures exclude a one-time benefit resulting from the release of a deferred tax liability in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Diluted Earnings per Share

Dolby continues to target diluted shares outstanding of approximately 108 million. These targets lead to a fiscal 2012 diluted earnings per share target range of $2.38 to $2.62 on a GAAP basis and $2.80 to $3.04 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 intangible assets acquired through business combinations, restructuring charges, the related tax impact of all of these items on the provision for income taxes, and a one-time benefit resulting from the release of a deferred tax liability in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, 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 Dolby's investor relations website at http://investor.dolby.com/medialist.cfm.
