Factors to Note Ahead of Dolby's (DLB) Q4 Earnings Release
Read MoreHide Full Article
Dolby Laboratories Inc (DLB - Free Report) is slated to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Nov 17.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal fourth-quarter revenues is pegged at $303.6 million, which suggests growth of 6.5% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at 70 cents per share, indicating a year-over-year increase of 20.7%.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the last four quarters. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 6.1%, on average.
The company expects fiscal fourth-quarter GAAP earnings of 40-55 cents per share and non-GAAP earnings of 68-83 cents per share. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $295-$325 million.
The ongoing demand for the company’s Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision, new licenses and imaging patents is likely to have helped the company's fourth-quarter performance. In the third quarter, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision were utilized to broadcast the UEFA Champions League Final on Canal+.
The company expects Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision and imaging patents revenues for the current year to grow by approximately 35% amid a volatile macroeconomic environment.
The growing popularity of music, mobile media content, gaming and live sports are likely to benefit Dolby Atmos Music. Also, Xiaomi launched its new smartphone with Dolby Vision. Also, the company announced in July 2022, that Dolby Atmos Music is available in China and South Korea through Tencent Music’s QQ Music and Melon, respectively.
The company is likely to benefit from Dolby.io, which is a platform that enables developers to build immersive online experiences. The growing demand for high-quality with ultra-low latency applications is further tailwinds.
Also, continued momentum in Dolby Cinemas and Cinemas product businesses is likely to grow the company’s top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, rising inflation and pandemic-induced global supply-chain troubles might have dented the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.
The company has also slashed its fiscal 2022 guidance due to the above-mentioned factors and uncertainty regarding consumer spending. The company now expects non-GAAP earnings of $3.22-$3.37 per share compared with the previous guidance of $3.27-$3.77 per share. Revenues are expected to be in the range of $1.27-$1.30 billion compared with the previous guidance of $1.3-$1.35 billion.
