Dolby Laboratories Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2010 Results

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 29, 2010--Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE:DLB) today announced the Company's financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2010.

For the second quarter, Dolby reported total revenue of $243.4 million, compared to $204.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, an increase of 19 percent.

Second quarter GAAP net income was $85.9 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, compared to $69.5 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. On a non-GAAP basis, second quarter net income was $93.1 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, compared to $76.1 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Dolby’s non-GAAP measures exclude expenses related to stock-based compensation, the amortization of intangibles from business combinations, restructuring charges, a gain from an amended patent licensing agreement, and the related tax impact of these items.

“We had a strong second quarter,” said Kevin Yeaman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dolby Laboratories. “We continued to benefit from the inclusion of our technologies in many of the world’s most popular entertainment devices while making significant progress in our mobile initiative. This week Nokia announced that it will begin adopting Dolby Digital Plus in certain handset models.”

Financial Targets

For fiscal 2010, Dolby is now targeting revenue of $865 million to $895 million, total gross margin of approximately 86 percent on a GAAP basis, and 87 percent on a non-GAAP basis. In addition, Dolby is now targeting fiscal 2010 operating expenses of $350 million to $362 million on a GAAP basis and $315 million to $325 million on a non-GAAP basis, and a tax rate of approximately 35 percent on a GAAP basis and non-GAAP basis. 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.

These targets lead to a fiscal 2010 diluted earnings per share target range of $2.23 to $2.32 on a GAAP basis and $2.47 to $2.57 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 acquired intangible assets through business combinations, restructuring charges, a gain from an amended patent licensing agreement, 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.
