Exhibit 99.1 Dolby Laboratories Reports FY 2006 Second Quarter Results; Second Quarter Revenue Reaches $105 Million SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 27, 2006--Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE:DLB) today announced the Company's financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. For the second quarter, Dolby reported total revenue of $104.7 million, compared to $85.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005, an increase of 23 percent. Second quarter net income was $28.0 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to $10.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. In connection with the Company's IPO in February 2005, Ray Dolby contributed to the Company all of his intellectual property rights related to the Company's business, which he had previously licensed to the Company in exchange for royalty payments. As a result of the contribution, the Company's royalty payments to Ray Dolby terminated in February 2005. Consequently, net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 did not include any royalty payments to Ray Dolby, while the second quarter of fiscal 2005 included $4.6 million of royalty payments to Ray Dolby, net of taxes. Pro forma net income, which excludes royalty payments to Ray Dolby, was $28.0 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, compared to $14.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 also included stock-based compensation charges of $5.1 million compared to $5.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. "This was a strong quarter for Dolby as we continued to make progress towards our long-term objective of becoming an essential element in the best entertainment technologies available," said Bill Jasper, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dolby Laboratories. Guidance For fiscal 2006, the Company now expects revenue to be between $350 million and $365 million. Net income is expected to be between $65 million and $72 million. Earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.58 to $0.64. While under FAS 123R stock-based compensation expense may vary based on factors such as stock price or volatility, Dolby currently expects stock-based compensation expense for the full year to be between $19 million and $21 million. Pro Forma Information Prior to the Company's IPO in February 2005, Ray Dolby retained ownership of the intellectual property he created related to the Company's business and licensed those rights to the Company in exchange for royalty payments. In connection with the Company's IPO, Ray Dolby contributed to the Company all of these intellectual property rights. The pro forma financial information included in this release gives effect to the asset contribution as though such transactions had been completed prior to the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Specifically, the Company provides net income and earnings per diluted share excluding royalties paid to Ray Dolby. The Company believes that net income and earnings per diluted share excluding royalties paid to Ray Dolby are important metrics as they represent profitability exclusive of the charges that have now been eliminated. The Company uses these metrics internally to measure its performance and believes these metrics may be meaningful for investors in analyzing the Company's results of operations. A reconciliation of the Company's actual results to these additional metrics is included in this release.
