Factors to Note Ahead of Dolby's (DLB) Q1 Earnings Release
Read MoreHide Full Article
Dolby Laboratories Inc (DLB - Free Report) is slated to report first-quarter fiscal 2023 results on Feb 2.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal first-quarter revenues is pegged at $306.5 million, which suggests a decline of 12.8% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at 79 cents per share, indicating a year-over-year decrease of 21.8%.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the company expects GAAP earnings of 46-61 cents per share and non-GAAP earnings of 76-91 cents per share on revenues of $300-$330 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 first-quarter performance. The company has built an ecosystem of content around Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, leading to broad adoption by content services amid growth in living room devices such as TVs, set-top boxes, sound bars, etc. This bodes well for top-line growth. Additionally, strong growth in Dolby Cinema as the box office improves from pandemic lows is a major tailwind.
Also, the company’s initiatives to boost growth in newer areas like music, automotive and user-generated content with the help of Dolby Vision Capture bodes well. In the last-reported quarter, Xiaomi introduced the first android phone with Dolby Vision Capture in China.
Dolby is also expanding its reach in the automotive market, with more than a dozen auto partners added in the past year. The recent addition of Polestar and Lotus at the Paris Auto Show Dolby Atmos are major tailwinds.
The company is likely to benefit from the adoption of 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.
However, the company expects declines in consumer device shipments going ahead due to macroeconomic weakness, supply chain troubles and inflation along with geopolitical instability. As a result, the audio segment is expected to decline by mid-single digits during the year.
