Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis Of Presentation | Basis of Presentation |
Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | |
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and with SEC rules and regulations, which allow for certain information and footnote disclosures that are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP to be condensed or omitted. In our opinion, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2014 and include all adjustments necessary for fair presentation. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2014, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. | |
The results for the fiscal quarter ended March 27, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarterly or annual financial period, including the fiscal year ending September 25, 2015. | |
Principles of Consolidation | |
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dolby Laboratories, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries. In addition, we have consolidated the financial results of jointly owned affiliated companies in which our principal stockholder has a controlling interest. We report these controlling interests as a separate line in our consolidated statements of operations as net income attributable to controlling interest and in our consolidated balance sheets as a controlling interest. We eliminate all intercompany accounts and transactions upon consolidation. | |
Operating Segments | |
We operate as a single reporting segment, and thus all required financial segment information is included in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. This determination reflects the fact that our CODM, our Chief Executive Officer, evaluates our financial information and resources, and assesses the performance of these resources on a consolidated basis. | |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include estimated selling prices for elements sold in ME revenue arrangements; valuation allowances for accounts receivable; carrying values of inventories and certain property, plant, and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets; fair values of investments; accrued liabilities including liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, deferred income tax assets and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from our estimates. | |
Fiscal Year | |
Our fiscal year is a 52 or 53 week period ending on the last Friday in September. The fiscal periods presented herein include the 13 and 26 week periods ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014. Our fiscal year ending September 25, 2015 (fiscal 2015) and our fiscal year ended September 26, 2014 (fiscal 2014) both consist of 52 weeks. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
We continually assess any ASUs or other new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB to determine their applicability and impact on us. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement will result in a change to our financial reporting, we take the appropriate steps to ensure that such changes are properly reflected in our consolidated financial statements or notes thereto. | |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | |
Adopted Standards | |
All recently pronounced accounting standards applicable to, and adopted by Dolby have been previously disclosed as part of a quarterly or annual filing from prior periods. Accounting pronouncements that were adopted and disclosed in prior periods have not had a significant impact on our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements or notes thereto, and have not resulted in a change to our significant accounting policies. Furthermore, there have not been any changes to our significant accounting policies from those that were described in our Form 10-K for the prior fiscal year ended September 26, 2014. | |
Standards Not Yet Effective | |
Revenue Recognition. On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard, initially effective for us on October 1, 2017, has been tentatively deferred by one year, and early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the effect that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method or determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting. | |
Consolidation. On February 18, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which amends the consolidation requirements in ASC 810 and significantly changes the consolidation analysis required under U.S. GAAP. Among others, the ASU significantly amends how variable interests held by a reporting entity’s related parties or de facto agents affect its consolidation conclusion. The amendments in this Update are effective for us on October 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We have not yet selected the timing, the transition method or determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting. |

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Inventory with a consumption period expected to exceed twelve months is recorded within other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. We have included $1.8 million and $1.7 million of raw materials inventory within other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets as of March 27, 2015 and September 26, 2014, respectively. Based on anticipated inventory consumption rates, and aside from existing write-downs due to excess inventory, we do not believe that material risk of obsolescence exists prior to ultimate sale. | |||||||

Investments & Fair Value Measurements | Investments & Fair Value Measurements | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Investment Strategy. Under our investment management strategy, we use cash holdings to purchase investment grade securities that are diversified among security types, industries and issuers. Each of the investments within our investment portfolio is measured at fair value, and is recorded within cash equivalents, short-term investments, and long-term investments in our consolidated balance sheets. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
With the exception of our mutual fund investments held in our supplemental retirement plan which are classified as trading securities, all of our investments are classified as available-for-sale securities. Our investments primarily consist of municipal debt securities, corporate and government bonds (domestic and international), United States agency securities and commercial paper. In addition to the security types noted above, our cash and cash equivalents also consist of highly-liquid money market funds. Consistent with our investment policy, none of the municipal debt investments that we hold are supported by letters of credit or standby purchase agreements. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Fair Value Hierarchy. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We minimize the use of unobservable inputs and use observable market data, if available, when determining fair value. We classify our inputs to measure fair value using the following three-level hierarchy: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. We base the fair value of our Level 1 financial instruments, which are traded in active markets, using quoted market prices for identical instruments. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 2: Prices may be based upon quoted prices in active markets or inputs not quoted on active markets but are corroborated by market data. We obtain the fair value of our Level 2 financial instruments from a professional pricing service, which may use quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments, or model driven valuations using observable market data or inputs corroborated by observable market data. To validate the fair value determination provided by our primary pricing service, we perform quality controls over values received which include comparing our pricing service provider’s assessment of the fair values of our investment securities against the fair values of our investment securities obtained from another independent source, reviewing the pricing movement in the context of overall market trends, and reviewing trading information from our investment managers. In addition, we assess the inputs and methods used in determining the fair value in order to determine the classification of securities in the fair value hierarchy. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available and reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. We have not historically owned any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities, as was the case at September 26, 2014. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Securities In Gross Unrealized Loss Position. We periodically evaluate our investments for other-than- temporary declines in fair value. The unrealized losses on our available-for-sale securities were primarily as a result of unfavorable changes in interest rates subsequent to the initial purchase of these securities. The following table presents the gross unrealized losses and fair value for those available-for-sale securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 27, 2015 and September 26, 2014 (in thousands): | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Although we had certain securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 27, 2015, we expect to recover the full carrying value of these securities as we do not intend to, nor do we currently anticipate a need to sell these securities prior to recovering the associated unrealized losses. As a result, we do not consider any portion of the unrealized losses at either March 27, 2015 or September 26, 2014 to represent an other-than-temporary impairment, nor do we consider any of the unrealized losses to be credit losses. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Purchase Of Commercial Office Building In San Francisco, CA. During fiscal 2012, we purchased an approximately 354,000 square foot commercial office property at 1275 Market Street in San Francisco, California for approximately $109.8 million. Based on a fair value analysis performed at the time of purchase, $35.5 million of the property's purchase price was allocated to the land and $74.3 million allocated to the building. Following our partial occupation of the building during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we continue to make improvements to prepare it for its intended use as our new worldwide headquarters. As of September 26, 2014, construction-in-progress included both the book value of the building and costs for ongoing construction. As of March 27, 2015, construction-in-progress only included costs for ongoing construction. |

We provide stock-based awards as a form of compensation for employees, officers and directors. We have issued stock-based awards in the form of stock options and RSUs under our equity incentive plans, as well as shares under our ESPP. | ||||||||||||||
Common Stock - Class A and Class B | ||||||||||||||
Our Board of Directors has authorized two classes of common stock, Class A and Class B. At March 27, 2015, we had authorized 500,000,000 Class A shares and 500,000,000 Class B shares. At March 27, 2015, we had 51,383,446 shares of Class A common stock and 51,073,661 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. Holders of our Class A and Class B common stock have identical rights, except that holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Shares of Class B common stock can be converted to shares of Class A common stock at any time at the option of the stockholder and automatically convert upon sale or transfer, except for certain transfers specified in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. | ||||||||||||||
Stock Incentive Plans | ||||||||||||||
2000 Stock Incentive Plan. Effective October 2000, we adopted the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan. The 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, provided for the issuance of incentive and non-qualified stock options to our employees, directors, and consultants to purchase up to 15.1 million shares of Class B common stock. Under the terms of this plan, options became exercisable as established by the Board of Directors (ratably over four years), and expire ten years after the date of the grant. Options issued under the plan were made at their grant-date fair market value. Subsequent to fiscal 2005, no further options were granted under this plan. The 2000 Stock Incentive Plan terminated on October 1, 2010 and no shares of our common stock remained available for future issuance under that plan other than pursuant to outstanding options. As of March 27, 2015, there were no outstanding options to purchase shares of Class B common stock. | ||||||||||||||
2005 Stock Plan. In January 2005, our stockholders approved our 2005 Stock Plan, which our Board of Directors adopted in November 2004. The 2005 Stock Plan became effective on February 16, 2005, the day prior to the completion of our initial public offering. Our 2005 Stock Plan, as amended and restated, provides for the ability to grant incentive stock options ("ISOs"), nonstatutory stock options ("NQs"), restricted stock, RSUs, SARs, deferred stock units, performance units, performance bonus awards and performance shares. A total of 38.0 million shares of our Class A common stock is authorized for issuance under the 2005 Stock Plan. For awards granted prior to February 2011, any shares subject to an award with a per share price less than the fair market value of our Class A common stock on the date of grant and any shares subject to an outstanding RSU award will be counted against the authorized share reserve as two shares for every one share subject to the award, and if returned to the 2005 Stock Plan, such shares will be counted as two shares for every one share returned. For those awards granted from February 2011 onward, any shares subject to an award with a per share price less than the fair market value of our Class A common stock on the date of grant and any shares subject to an outstanding RSU award will be counted against the authorized share reserve as 1.6 shares for every one share subject to the award, and if returned to the 2005 Stock Plan, such shares will be counted as 1.6 shares for every one share returned. | ||||||||||||||
As of March 27, 2015, there were options outstanding to purchase 9.2 million shares of Class A common stock, of which 4.2 million were vested and exercisable. The options outstanding have a remaining weighted-average contractual life of 7.5 years. | ||||||||||||||
Stock Options. Stock options are generally granted at fair market value on the date of grant. Options granted to employees and officers prior to June 2008 generally vest over four years, with equal annual cliff-vesting and expire on the earlier of 10 years after the date of grant or 3 months after termination of service. Options granted to employees and officers from June 2008 onward generally vest over four years, with 25% of the shares subject to the option becoming exercisable on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the balance of the shares vesting in equal monthly installments over the following 36 months. These options expire on the earlier of 10 years after the date of grant or 3 months after termination of service. All options granted vest over the requisite service period and upon the exercise of stock options, we issue new shares of Class A common stock under the 2005 Stock Plan and new shares of Class B common stock under the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan. Our 2005 Stock Plan also allows us to grant stock awards which vest based on the satisfaction of specific performance criteria. | ||||||||||||||

Restricted Stock Units. Beginning in fiscal 2008, we began granting RSUs to certain directors, officers and employees under our 2005 Stock Plan. Awards granted to employees and officers generally vest over four years, with equal annual cliff-vesting. Awards granted to directors prior to November 2010 generally vest over three years, with equal annual cliff-vesting. Awards granted after November 2010 and prior to fiscal 2014 to new directors vest over approximately two years, with 50% vesting per year, while awards granted from November 2010 onward to ongoing directors generally vest over approximately one year. Awards granted to new directors from fiscal 2014 onward vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the award’s date of grant, or the day immediately preceding the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders that occurs after the award’s date of grant. Our 2005 Stock Plan also allows us to grant RSUs which vest based on the satisfaction of specific performance criteria, although no such awards have been granted as of March 27, 2015. At each vesting date, the holder of the award is issued shares of our Class A common stock. Compensation expense from these awards is equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. | ||||||||||||||

Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Our plan allows eligible employees to have up to 10 percent of their eligible compensation withheld and used to purchase Class A common stock, subject to a maximum of $25,000 worth of stock purchased in a calendar year or no more than 1,000 shares in an offering period, whichever is less. An offering period consists of successive six-month purchase periods, with a look back feature to our stock price at the commencement of a one-year offering period. The plan provides for a discount equal to 15 percent of the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the last day of the purchase period and for overlapping one-year offering periods. The plan also includes an automatic reset feature that provides for an offering period to be reset and recommenced to a new lower-priced offering if the offering price of a new offering period is less than that of the immediately preceding offering period. | ||||||||||||||
Stock Option Valuation Assumptions | ||||||||||||||
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of employee stock options at the date of the grant. The Black-Scholes model includes inputs that require us to make certain estimates and assumptions regarding the expected term of the award, as well as the future risk-free interest rate and volatility of our stock price over this expected term of the award. | ||||||||||||||
Expected Term. The expected term of an award represents the estimated period of time that options granted will remain outstanding, and is measured from the grant date to the date at which the option is either exercised or canceled. Our determination of the expected term involves an evaluation of historical terms and other factors such as the exercise and termination patterns of our employees who hold options to acquire our common stock, and is based on certain assumptions made regarding the future exercise and termination behavior. | ||||||||||||||
Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of United States Treasury instruments in effect on the date of grant. In determining an estimate for the risk-free interest rate, we use average interest rates based on these instruments’ constant maturities with a term that approximates and corresponds with the expected term of our awards. | ||||||||||||||
Expected Stock Price Volatility. The expected volatility represents the estimated volatility in the price of our common stock over a time period that approximates the expected term of the awards, and is determined using a blended combination of historical and implied volatility. Historical volatility is representative of the historical trends in our stock price for periods preceding the measurement date since our initial public offering. Implied volatility is based upon externally traded option contracts of our common stock. | ||||||||||||||
Dividend Yield. The dividend yield is based on our anticipated quarterly dividend payout over the expected term of our option awards. | ||||||||||||||
The weighted-average assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of our stock options were as follows: | ||||||||||||||

Stock-Based Compensation Expense | ||||||||||||||
Stock-based compensation expense for equity awards granted to employees is determined by estimating their fair value on the date of grant, and recognizing that value as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period in which our employees earn the awards. Compensation expense related to these equity awards is recognized net of estimated forfeitures, which reduce the expense recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. The selection of applicable estimated forfeiture rates is based on an evaluation of trends in our historical forfeiture data with consideration for other potential driving factors. If in subsequent periods actual forfeitures significantly differ from our initial estimates, we will revise such estimates accordingly. | ||||||||||||||

Common Stock Repurchase Program | ||||||||||||||
In November 2009, we announced a stock repurchase program ("program"), providing for the repurchase of up to $250.0 million of our Class A common stock.

Stock repurchases under the program may be made through open market transactions, negotiated purchases, or otherwise, at times and in amounts that we consider appropriate. The timing of repurchases and the number of shares repurchased depend upon a variety of factors, including price, regulatory requirements, the rate of dilution from our equity compensation plans and other market conditions. The program does not have a specified expiration date, and can be limited, suspended or terminated at our discretion at any time without prior notice. Shares repurchased under the program will be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class A common stock. As of March 27, 2015, the remaining authorization to purchase additional shares is approximately $227.7 million. | ||||||||||||||

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to Dolby Laboratories, Inc. by the number of weighted-average shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding during the period. Through application of the treasury stock method, diluted EPS is computed in the same manner, except that the number of weighted-average shares outstanding is increased by the number of potentially dilutive shares from employee incentive plans during the period. Potentially dilutive shares include the hypothetical number of shares issued under the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, vesting of outstanding restricted stock units, and shares issued under our employee stock purchase plan. | ||||||||||||||
Basic and diluted EPS are computed independently for each fiscal quarter and year-to-date period presented, which involves the use of different weighted-average share count figures relating to quarterly and annual periods. As a result, and after factoring the effect of rounding to the nearest cent per share, the sum of all four quarter-to-date EPS figures may not equal year-to-date EPS. | ||||||||||||||

Income Taxes | Income Taxes | |||||||||||||
Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management's best assessment of estimated current and future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense. | ||||||||||||||
Unrecognized Tax Benefit | ||||||||||||||
As of March 27, 2015, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $49.8 million, of which $39.1 million, if recognized, would reduce our effective tax rate. Our net liability for unrecognized tax benefits is classified within other non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. | ||||||||||||||
Withholding Taxes | ||||||||||||||
We recognize licensing revenue gross of withholding taxes, which our licensees remit directly to their local tax authorities, and for which we receive a partial foreign tax credit in our income tax provision. The foreign current tax includes this withholding tax expense while the appropriate foreign tax credit benefit is included in current federal and foreign taxes. Withholding taxes were as follows (in thousands): | ||||||||||||||

Effective Tax Rate | ||||||||||||||
Each period, the combination of multiple different factors can impact our effective tax rate. These factors include both recurring items such as tax rates and the relative amount of income earned in foreign jurisdictions, as well as discrete items that may occur in, but are not necessarily consistent between periods. | ||||||||||||||
Our effective tax rate increased from 26% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 to 27% in the second quarter of fiscal 2015, which reflects an increase in our estimated fiscal 2015 tax provision due to reduced benefits from U.S. manufacturing tax incentives. | ||||||||||||||
On a year-to-date basis, our effective tax rate decreased from 26% in the fiscal year-to-date period ended March 28, 2014 to 25% in the fiscal year-to-date period ended March 27, 2015, which reflects a discrete benefit from federal R&D tax credits that were retroactively reinstated for the 2014 calendar year only. The overall decrease in the rate was partially offset by the fact that our estimated fiscal 2015 tax provision included reduced benefits from U.S. manufacturing tax incentives. |

Naming Rights. We are party to an agreement for naming rights and related benefits with respect to the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, the location of the Academy Awards®. The term of the agreement is 20 years, over which we will make payments on a semi-annual basis until fiscal 2032. Our payment obligations are conditioned in part on the Academy Awards® being held and broadcast from the Dolby Theatre. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Donation Commitments. During fiscal 2014, we entered into a non-cancelable obligation to donate and install imaging and audio products to the Museum of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles, California, and provide maintenance services for a fifteen-year period following the Academy's expected opening date in 2017. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Operating Leases. Operating lease payments represent our commitments for future minimum rent made under non-cancelable leases for office space, including those payable to our principal stockholder and portions attributable to the controlling interests in our wholly owned subsidiaries. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Purchase Obligations. Purchase obligations primarily consist of our commitments made under agreements to purchase goods and services for purposes that include IT and telecommunications, marketing and professional services, and manufacturing and other research and development activities. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Indemnification Clauses. On a limited basis, our contractual agreements will contain a clause under which we have agreed to provide indemnification to the counterparty, most commonly to licensees in connection with licensing arrangements that include our intellectual property. Additionally, and although not a contractual requirement, we have at times elected to defend our licensees from third party intellectual property infringement claims. Since the terms and conditions of our contractual indemnification clauses do not explicitly specify our obligations, we are unable to reasonably estimate the maximum potential exposure for which we could be liable. Furthermore, we have not historically made any payments in connection with any such obligation and believe there to be a remote likelihood that any potential exposure in future periods would be of a material amount. As a result, no amounts have been accrued in our consolidated financial statements with respect to the contingent aspect of these indemnities. |

Doremi Labs. | ||||
On October 31, 2014 ("acquisition date"), we completed our acquisition of all outstanding interests of Doremi Labs ("Doremi"), a privately held company. Doremi is a leading developer and manufacturer of digital cinema servers and the acquisition is expected to accelerate the delivery and deployment of innovative solutions to exhibitors. Doremi's operating results from the acquisition date through March 27, 2015 are included in our consolidated financial statements for the second quarter of fiscal 2015, however these results did not have a material impact on our total consolidated revenues or net income for the period. | ||||
We acquired Doremi for cash consideration of $98.4 million, and up to an additional $20.0 million in contingent consideration that may be earned over a four-year period following the closing of the acquisition. We estimated the fair value of contingent consideration by applying a discounted and probability-weighted approach to potential shipments of specified products during the four years following the acquisition date. As of March 27, 2015, we have recorded $0.7 million as a contingent consideration liability that, along with cash paid to the sellers of $98.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, comprise the purchase price of $99.1 million. | ||||
We have accounted for the transaction under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we estimated the fair values of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, and in connection with completing the purchase accounting, we recorded changes to the valuation of intangible assets of $4.6 million, reversed a receivable of $4.2 million related to the preliminary working capital adjustment to the purchase price, and recorded minor additional adjustments that collectively resulted in an increase to goodwill of $0.5 million. The measurement period associated with the acquisition is now closed. | ||||
We have recorded any amounts paid in excess of the net assets recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is representative of our expectation of the benefits and synergies from the integration of Doremi technology with our existing technology and the assembled workforce of Doremi, which does not qualify for separate recognition as an intangible asset. | ||||
The following table summarizes the acquisition date fair values allocated to the net assets acquired including cash of $8.4 million, and liabilities assumed. | ||||

Trade name | 1,300 | 1 | Sales & Marketing | |
Backlog | 1,200 | 1 | Cost of Sales | |
Total | $45,600 | |||
The fair values of the intangible assets at the acquisition date were measured primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820. The value of acquired intangibles was determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using the following valuation techniques and inputs: | ||||
• | Customer relationships and backlog - Primarily the excess earnings method using inputs such as probability-weighted revenue attributable to existing customer relationships, customer attrition, estimated expenses, effective income tax rate, and discount rate. | |||
• | Developed technology and Trade name - Primarily the relief-from-royalty method using inputs such as estimated revenues attributable to the digital cinema server technology, estimated net royalty rate, maintenance R&D expenses, effective income tax rate, and discount rate. | |||
We incurred acquisition-related costs of $0.4 million during the fiscal quarter ended December 26, 2014 and none thereafter, and $2.8 million and $3.5 million during the fiscal quarter and year-to-date period ended March 28, 2014, respectively. These costs were included in G&A expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. Total acquisition-related costs of $5.9 million were incurred during fiscal 2014. We have not provided pro forma information since these results following the acquisition are not deemed significant. |

These can include claims of alleged infringement of intellectual property rights, commercial, employment and other matters. In our opinion, resolution of these proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse impact on our operating results or financial condition. Given the unpredictable nature of legal proceedings, it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of one or more such proceedings could materially affect our future operating results or financial condition in a particular period; however, based on the information known by us as of the date of this filing and the rules and regulations applicable to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, any such amount is either immaterial, or it is not possible to provide an estimated amount of any such potential loss. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles Of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation |
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dolby Laboratories, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries. In addition, we have consolidated the financial results of jointly owned affiliated companies in which our principal stockholder has a controlling interest. We report these controlling interests as a separate line in our consolidated statements of operations as net income attributable to controlling interest and in our consolidated balance sheets as a controlling interest. We eliminate all intercompany accounts and transactions upon consolidation. | |
Operating Segments | Operating Segments |
We operate as a single reporting segment, and thus all required financial segment information is included in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. This determination reflects the fact that our CODM, our Chief Executive Officer, evaluates our financial information and resources, and assesses the performance of these resources on a consolidated basis. | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include estimated selling prices for elements sold in ME revenue arrangements; valuation allowances for accounts receivable; carrying values of inventories and certain property, plant, and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets; fair values of investments; accrued liabilities including liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, deferred income tax assets and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from our estimates. | |
