Dolby Laboratories Reports Fiscal 2012 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Financial Results
Key technologies enhancing mobile and connected entertainment position Dolby for long-term growth
SAN FRANCISCO — Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE:DLB) today announced the Company’s financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 28, 2012. For the fourth quarter, Dolby reported total revenue of $224.8 million, compared to $243.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.
Fourth quarter GAAP net income was $51.5 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared to $79.1 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. On a non-GAAP basis, fourth quarter net income was $63.8 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, compared to $89.9 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.
Fiscal year GAAP net income was $264.3 million, or $2.46 per diluted share, compared to $309.3 million, or $2.75 per diluted share, for fiscal 2011. On a non-GAAP basis, fiscal year net income was $306.9 million, or $2.85 per diluted share, compared to $339.9 million, or $3.02 per diluted share, for 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.
“Fourth quarter revenue came in higher than expected, primarily due to strength in mobile devices,” said Kevin Yeaman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dolby Laboratories. “We continue to see increasing adoption of our technologies in smartphones and tablets, and during the quarter, Amazon incorporated Dolby as a key feature in its latest family of Kindle Fire HD products.”
Financial Outlook
Fiscal Year 2013
For fiscal 2013, Dolby is anticipating total revenue to range from $900 million to $950 million.
For fiscal 2013, Dolby estimates that operating expenses will be approximately $550 million on a GAAP basis, and $490 million on a non-GAAP basis. Dolby’s non-GAAP expenses exclude amounts related to stock-based compensation, the amortization of intangibles from business combinations, and restructuring charges. Non-GAAP results would also include the related tax impact of these items. Although stock-based compensation expense may vary based on factors such as stock price or volatility, the amount for fiscal 2013 is anticipated to be approximately $55 million. Operating expenses related to the amortization of acquired intangibles are expected to be approximately $5 million for the fiscal year. The Company does not currently anticipate any restructuring charges in fiscal 2013.
Q1 2013
For fiscal Q1 2013, Dolby is anticipating total revenue to range from $215 million to $225 million. For fiscal Q1 2013, gross margin is estimated to be approximately 90 percent on a GAAP basis and 91 percent on a non-GAAP basis.
For fiscal Q1 2013, Dolby is estimating that operating expenses will be approximately $135 million on a GAAP basis, and approximately $120 million on a non-GAAP basis. Included in the estimated GAAP basis operating expenses for fiscal Q1 2013 are approximately $14 million of stock-based compensation expense and $1 million of charges related to the amortization of acquired intangibles.
The Company’s effective tax rate is estimated to be approximately 28 percent for fiscal Q1 2013.
Diluted Earnings per Share
Dolby expects diluted earnings per share for fiscal Q1 2013 to be between $0.42 and $0.48 on a GAAP basis and between $0.54 and $0.60 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, net income, 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 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 Securities and Exchange Commission 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.
