       Dolby Laboratories Reports FY 2007 Third-Quarter Results

          Third-Quarter Revenue up 28 Percent Year-over-Year


    SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 1, 2007--Dolby Laboratories,
Inc. (NYSE:DLB) today announced the Company's financial results for
the third quarter of fiscal year 2007.

    For the third quarter, Dolby reported total revenue of $119.6
million, compared to $93.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal
2006, an increase of 28 percent. Third-quarter net income was $29.7
million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $19.1 million, or
$0.17 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

    Net income for the third quarter reflected stock-based
compensation expense of $5.1 million compared to $4.7 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 2006.

    "Our third-quarter results demonstrate the strength of Dolby's
business model, as we continue to diversify our revenue across newer
markets," said Bill Jasper, President and Chief Executive Officer,
Dolby Laboratories. "Dolby(R) technology is an essential element in
the entertainment experience, and as digital entertainment expands
across multiple platforms, Dolby continues to benefit."

    Guidance

    For fiscal 2007, Dolby now expects revenue to be approximately
$465 million to $475 million. Net income is now expected to be
approximately $122 million to $127 million. Consequently, earnings per
diluted share are now expected to be approximately $1.07 to $1.11.
While 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 $21
million.
