Dolby Laboratories Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2009 Results

Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE:DLB) today announced the Company's financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

For the second quarter, Dolby reported total revenue of $204.1 million, compared to $172.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008, an increase of eighteen percent. Total revenue benefited from the recognition of $23.6 million in revenue related to digital cinema, which was deferred in prior quarters.

Second quarter net income was $69.5 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to $56.8 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 reflects stock-based compensation expense of $4.8 million compared to $6.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and charges related to the amortization of intangibles of $4.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $4.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Fiscal second quarter net income also reflects $1.9 million in restructuring charges primarily related to the consolidation of manufacturing operations.

“We are very pleased with our second quarter performance,” said Kevin Yeaman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dolby Laboratories. “We continue to diversify our revenue streams while increasing the adoption of our technologies in many of the world’s most popular entertainment devices.”

Guidance

Dolby now expects fiscal 2009 revenue to be $650 million to $700 million. Net income is now expected to be $204 million to $222 million. Earnings per diluted share are now expected to be $1.76 to $1.91. Reflected in Dolby’s fiscal 2009 earnings guidance is a $20 million gain in the first quarter resulting from an amendment to a license agreement with an unrelated patent licensor, and approximately $6 million in estimated restructuring charges primarily related to the consolidation of manufacturing operations to be recognized in fiscal 2009. The net impact of the $20 million gain and the $6 million in restructuring charges in the fiscal year are approximately $13 million and $4 million, respectively, or $0.11 and $0.03 per diluted share, respectively. While under FAS 123R, stock-based compensation expense may vary based on factors such as stock price or volatility, Dolby now expects stock-based compensation expense for the full year to be approximately $23 million. In addition, Dolby now expects charges related to the amortization of intangibles for fiscal 2009 to be approximately $16 million.
