Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Dolby Laboratories conference call discussing fiscal Q1 results. During the presentation, all participants will be in listening mode only. Afterwards, you will be invited to participate in a question-and-answer session. At this time, if you have a question, you will need to press star one on your telephone. As a reminder, this call will be recorded Thursday, February 3rd 2022. I'd now like to transfer you over to Ashley Schwenoha, Senior Manager, Investor Relations for Dolby Laboratories. Please go ahead, Ashley. Good afternoon. Welcome to Dolby Laboratories' Q1 2022 earnings conference call. Joining me today are Kevin Yeaman, Dolby Laboratories' CEO, and Robert Park, CFO. As a reminder, today's discussion will include forward-looking statements, including our second quarter and fiscal 2022 outlook and our assumptions underlying that outlook. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made today, including, among other things, the extent of the continuing impact of COVID-19 on our business. Discussion of these and additional risks and uncertainties can be found in the earnings press release that we issued today under the section captioned Forward-Looking Statements, as well as in the Risk Factors section of our most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Dolby assumes no obligation and does not intend to update any forward-looking statements made during this call as a result of new information or future events. During today's call, we will discuss GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation between the two is available in our earnings press release and in the Dolby Laboratories Investor Relations data sheet on the Investor Relations section of our website. As for the content of today's call, Kevin will start with a discussion of the business, and then Robert will follow with a recap of Dolby's financial results and provide our second quarter and fiscal 2022 outlook. With that introduction behind us, I will now turn the call over to Kevin. Thank you, Ashley, and good afternoon, everyone. It continues to be a dynamic environment. While revenue and EPS finished within our range of guidance, both were impacted by a $6 million negative true-up to lower than estimated unit shipments in our foundational audio technologies. As we discussed last quarter, we are seeing year-over-year declines for foundational audio coming off of tough comps and now issues with the supply chain. Over the long term, we expect foundational audio to track roughly in line with market demand for the consumer devices we serve. At the same time, we see strength across Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and our imaging patents portfolio, and we remain confident in our ability to grow these revenues at a rate of over 35% this year. We also see positive signs of momentum with Dolby.io. All of this gives us confidence in the opportunity ahead. Robert will take you through the details of the financials in just a moment. I will start by covering our progress in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. At CES last month, we saw our partnership with Samsung grow stronger as they announced the adoption of Dolby Atmos into their TVs for the first time. Samsung has been showcasing Dolby Atmos across their soundbar, PC, and mobile products for some time, and we are excited that they have decided to offer their TV customers the most immersive audio experience with Dolby Atmos. During LG's CES keynote, they highlighted their latest OLED TVs, the first to support Dolby Vision gaming at 4K at 120 Hz. Hisense debuted their first short-throw consumer laser projectors to include the combined Dolby experience. We saw new soundbar products from Samsung and Hisense supporting Dolby Atmos, and the latest TVs from Sony, Panasonic, and TCL, all featuring the Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos experience. Also during the quarter, Walmart's Onn and Best Buy's Pioneer TVs began supporting Dolby Vision, an important step toward addressing the mass market retailer brands and making Dolby experiences more widely available at all price points. Beyond the living room, we also made progress this quarter in PC, mobile, and gaming. In November, ASUS adopted Dolby Vision with the launch of their new two-in-one PC, marking their first device to include the combined experience. More recently, they announced that their latest gaming laptops will also feature Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Dell announced at CES that they will now support the combined Dolby experience across their latest Alienware gaming PC lineup, and they launched a new Alienware gaming headset with Dolby Atmos. Lenovo previewed their newly designed ThinkPad laptops, which feature Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and Dolby Voice, expanding the number of models that include our communications technology. This quarter also brought new tablets from Lenovo and ASUS and smartphones from Xiaomi and Motorola, highlighting Dolby technologies. We're also making strides in sports content. Just this week, Comcast announced that they will be broadcasting the 2022 Winter Olympics in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. This major event adds to the growing list of sports coverage made available in Dolby. In the world of esports, the Honor of Kings Challenger Cup Finals was available in Dolby Atmos on Tencent Video and Bilibili. As we enable more Dolby experiences across music, gaming, and sports, we add to our value proposition for new and deeper adoption of Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos across devices and end markets. While CES was far from normal this year, what remained the same was the strong engagement from our partners, particularly in automotive. This quarter, NIO highlighted that they will be adding Dolby Atmos into their ET5 model, expanding beyond the ET7 model they announced previously. Consumers and artists alike continue to sing the praises of Dolby Atmos music, with AMA's new artist of the year, Olivia Rodrigo, describing the experience as magical. Two-thirds of the top 100 Billboard artists now have one or more tracks available in Dolby Atmos. As we gain more prominence in the music space, we have more reasons for adoption across mobile, PC, and automotive. Let me shift to cinema. There are currently about 98% of Dolby Cinemas open globally, with six new sites launched during our fiscal Q1. Even with the uncertainty of the pandemic, we saw ongoing recovery in the box office with titles like No Time to Die and Spider-Man: No Way Home. As moviegoers return to the cinema, we continue to see a preference towards premium experiences, and Dolby Cinema is the ultimate way to experience movies in the theater. Let's talk about our developer platform, Dolby.io, where we are focused on enabling developers to create the most compelling experiences in target markets where we can offer the most differentiation, virtual live performances, online and hybrid events, social audio, premium education, gaming, and content production, which we estimate to represent a market opportunity of about $5 billion and growing. We are excited about the experiences developers are building, and the pace of new developer accounts accelerated this quarter. This increased momentum is due in part to the interest we are seeing for our release of programmable spatial audio. While we have been providing an automated spatial mix for some time, this highly requested feature allows developers to choose where to render real-time voices around the listener. For example, we see developers building virtual concert experiences, virtual reality collaboration platforms, and virtual worlds in which listeners hear people from the location of the speaker or their avatar. There has been so much demand, customers were going into production on the beta ahead of our general availability release this week. We also completed an acquisition this quarter. With Millicast, developers can take the highly interactive experiences they build with Dolby.io and stream them to audiences of more than 60,000 people with ultra-low delay. A capability that is in demand in our focus verticals. Millicast has a notable presence in content production with companies such as NBC, the NFL, and Disney. Their expertise in the field makes them a great fit for Dolby.io. With our unique experience in media and communications, coupled with the ease of self-service on our platform, we are able to expand our capabilities to developers to offer high quality audio and visual interactions to much larger audiences. To wrap it up, while we are still operating in an uncertain economic environment, we continue to have success in growing the number of Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision experiences to new devices and services. There is much opportunity ahead of us as we enable new experiences through music, gaming, and live content. We are excited about bringing the Dolby magic to a broader range of experiences and interactions with the power of Dolby.io. All of this gives us confidence in our ability to drive revenue and earnings growth deep into the future. With that, I'd like to hand it over to Robert to take us through the financials. Thank you, Kevin. Good afternoon, everybody. Let's jump into the results for Q1. Total revenue in the first quarter of $352 million was in the range we provided and included a negative true-up of about $6 million for Q4 2021 shipments reported that were below the original estimate. The negative true-up was primarily in foundational revenue in our gaming and consumer electronics markets. On a year-over-year basis, first quarter revenue was about $38 million below last year's Q1, as we benefited from a $21 million true-up in Q1 2021, versus the $6 million negative true-up in Q1 2022. In the prior year, we also benefited from timing of revenue under contract. These factors were partially offset by higher adoption of Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, and imaging patents in our fiscal Q1 of 2022. Q1 revenue was comprised of $332.2 million in licensing and $19.2 million in products and services. Let's get into the year-over-year trends in licensing revenue by end market. Broadcast represented 37% of total licensing in fiscal Q1. Broadcast revenues declined by about $18 million or 13% from the prior year Q1 due to timing of revenue, the larger true-up in the prior year, and lower recoveries. These factors were partially offset by higher adoption of Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision in TVs and new licensees in our imaging patent program. Mobile represented 22% of total licensing in fiscal Q1. Mobile decreased by $31 million or 29% compared to Q1 of last year, as our foundational audio revenues last year benefited from both higher recoveries and timing of revenues under contract, partially offset by new imaging patent licensees. We do see mobile growing for the full year, which I'll cover later. Consumer electronics represented about 17% of total licensing in fiscal Q1. On a year-over-year basis, Q1 CE licensing increased by approximately $6 million or 11%, driven by higher foundational audio revenues from TVs and sound bars, as well as higher recoveries. We also saw growth from higher adoption of Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision across CE devices. These favorable factors were partially offset by the large through in the prior year. TC represented about 10% of total licensing in fiscal Q1. Our Q1 TC revenues increased by 60% or $2 million compared to the prior year's Q1. This increase was driven by new imaging patent licensees along with higher Dolby Vision adoption. Other markets represented about 13% of total licensing in fiscal Q1. They were essentially flat year-over-year as lower revenue from gaming and lower foundational audio patent revenue were essentially offset by higher revenues from Dolby Cinema. Beyond licensing, our products and services revenue in Q1 was $19 million compared to $17 million in last year's Q1. The year-over-year increase reflects ongoing improvements in the cinema industry globally. Total gross margin in the first quarter was 90.7% on a GAAP basis and 91.3% on a non-GAAP basis. Operating expenses in the first quarter on a GAAP basis were $228.3 million, compared to $189.8 million in Q1 of the prior year. This increase was primarily caused by a gain for the sale of an asset in the prior year, higher marketing activations tied to Atmos Music and Dolby Live at Park MGM, and the extra week of payroll in Q1 2022. Operating expenses in the first quarter on a non-GAAP basis were $195.1 million, compared to $167.1 million in the prior year. Operating expenses were in line with our guidance for Q1. Operating income in the first quarter was $90.6 million on a GAAP basis, or 25.8% of revenue, compared to $162.7 million, or 42.3% of revenue in Q1 of last year. Operating income in the first quarter on a non-GAAP basis was $126 million, or 35.8% of revenue, compared to $189.7 million or 48.6% of revenue in Q1 of last year. The income tax rate in Q1 was 13% on a GAAP basis and 18% on a non-GAAP basis. Our GAAP rate benefited primarily from a discrete adjustment related to stock-based compensation. Net income on a GAAP basis in the first quarter was $80 million or $0.77 per share, per diluted share, compared to $135.2 million or $1.30 per diluted share from last year's Q1. Net income on a non-GAAP basis in the first quarter was $104.5 million or $1.01 per diluted share, compared to $153.2 million or $1.48 per diluted share in Q1 of last year. During the Q1, we generated $32 million in cash from operations, compared to $82 million generated in last year's fiscal Q1. We ended the Q1 with about $1.26 billion in cash and investments. During the Q1, we bought back about 400,000 shares of our common stock at the end of the quarter with $256 million of stock repurchase authorization available. As is typically the case, our window for repurchases in fiscal Q1 were shorter due to the timing of release of our year-end results. In February, our board authorized an additional $250 million of stock buyback, bringing our total authorization to approximately $506 million to enable expansion of our share buyback program. We also announced today a cash dividend of $0.25 per share. The dividend will be payable on February 23rd 2022 to shareholders of record on February 16th 2022. Shifting to the remainder of the fiscal year, there continues to be uncertainty due to the ongoing implications of the pandemic, particularly as it relates to trends in unit shipments that are impacted by supply chain issues, inflation, and consumer spending behavior. All of these variables make it more difficult to gather consistent and reliable data. We are also keeping an eye on transaction cycle times, particularly in our recovery efforts, given the ongoing travel restrictions caused by the pandemic. With that, let me take you to the outlook for Q2 and the full year. For Q2, we see total revenues ranging from $315 million-$345 million. We think that licensing revenues could range from $300 million-$325 million. The revenue increase from last year's Q2 is anticipated to be driven primarily by higher broadcast and TC revenues from Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. The other markets category is also expected to be up year over year, assuming continued improved attendance at our Dolby cinemas. Mobile is anticipated to be relatively flat to prior year as higher revenue from Atmos and Vision is substantially offset by lower foundational audio revenue. Q2 products and services revenue could range from $15 million-$20 million. Let me move on to the rest of the P&L outlook for Q2. Q2 gross margin on a GAAP basis is expected to be 89% ±, and the non-GAAP gross margin is estimated to be about 90% ±. Operating expenses in Q2 on a GAAP basis are estimated to range from $224 million-$236 million. Included in this range is approximately $5 million-$7 million of restructuring charges, primarily for severances and related benefits, as we adjust resources towards the areas where we see the largest opportunities. Operating expenses in Q2 on a non-GAAP basis are estimated to range from $190 million-$200 million, which contemplates the impact of our annual merit increase. Other income is projected to be around $1 million for the second quarter. Our effective tax rate for Q2 is projected to range from 19%-20% on a GAAP basis and 18%-19% on a non-GAAP basis. Based on the combination of factors I just covered, we estimate that Q2 diluted earnings per share could range from $0.42-$0.57 on a GAAP basis and from $0.72-$0.87 on a non-GAAP basis. Moving on to the full year. We are maintaining our FY 2022 total revenue guidance of $1.34 billion-$1.4 billion. This should result in about 5%-9% year-over-year growth as compared to the $1.28 billion in fiscal year 2021. Within this, licensing revenues could range from $1.26 billion to $1.36 billion, compared to $1.214 billion in fiscal year 2021, which will result in a 4%-8% year-over-year growth. We still anticipate that licensing revenue growth in fiscal 2022 will be driven by Atmos, Vision and Imaging patents across all end markets. Our other markets category is still expected to grow over 25%, primarily from Dolby Cinema and to a lesser extent from gaming. Followed by TC and mobile, which we expect to grow mid- to high-single-digits. Our CE and broadcast markets are anticipated to be relatively flat year over year as growth from Atmos, Vision and Imaging patents is essentially offset by decreases in foundational revenue. Products and services revenue are expected to range from $75 million-$90 million for fiscal 2022, due to improvements in Cinema products and growth in Dolby.io. Gross margins for fiscal 2022 are expected to be relatively consistent with fiscal 2021. With the restructuring charge expected in Q2, operating expenses in fiscal 2022 now range from $877 million-$897 million on a GAAP basis. On a non-GAAP basis, the expected operating expense range remains unchanged at $750 million-$770 million. As we said last quarter, our business model remains very strong as we expect to deliver operating margins between 24%-26% on a GAAP basis, and between 34%-36% on a non-GAAP basis. Based on the factors above, we estimate that full year diluted earnings per share now range from $2.50 to $3.00 on a GAAP basis. On a non-GAAP basis, full year diluted earnings per share remains unchanged at $2.52 to $4.02. With that, let's move on to Q&A. Operator, can you please queue up the first question? Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, if you would like to register a question for today's question and answer session, you may do so by pressing star one. If you'd like to withdraw your question, press star two. If you're on speakerphone, please pick up your handset before entering your request. Please be sure to identify yourself and your firm at the outset. To be fair to all participants, we ask that you limit yourself to one question and a follow-up question until all participants have had a chance in the first round. If time allows, we will come back to answer questions if there are any remaining. One moment, please, for the first question. Our first question comes from Steven Frankel with Colliers. Steven, you may proceed. Good afternoon, and thank you. On the fact that you're maintaining full year guidance despite a softer revenue picture in Q1 and at least relative to the way I modeled it, a little tougher Q2, I guess I'd ask, do you have visibility into that back half recovery? Is this year just gonna have a different shape than it typically does? I'd say a couple things, Steve. Indeed, you can see from our rundown seeing some lower unit shipments than what we were expecting, and that did flow through to Q1 estimates. We are also seeing strength in Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, Imaging patents with newer areas, and that tends to come in over time. That is one of the factors in how the year looks. Also just relative to last year, some of the timing of recoveries and timing of payments was kind of first-half loaded last year. Look, it's early in the year. Obviously, the units environment is uncertain, but there are always ins and outs. That's why we have a range. What we see, you know, on the other side of the latest unit shipment data is continued strength in our newer areas. Great. Certainly the Samsung news with CES would be in that category. Can you give us any color around that decision and how you might expect that relationship to mature from here? Yeah, well, I think it's a great progression of our relationship. As you know, they've been supporting Dolby Atmos in sound bars and mobile devices. We're really excited that they're now featuring Dolby Atmos natively on their TVs, starting with some of the higher end models. From here, you know, like always, we look to bring that value to them and continue to bring content to those devices so they're compelled to take it further and also to look at all the other great things we have to offer. Okay. Stick in one more. On Dolby.io, I appreciate the color. I wonder if you might share any other tidbits, either customer examples or application examples to help us understand how that business is progressing towards your goals for the year. Yeah, we're. I'll give a little more color on some of the things I have mentioned in the script. By the way, it really is hot off the press news. Two of the things I talked about, the programmable spatial audio, the GA process for that, literally finished up this morning. It's been in beta for a few months. We've been really excited about the interest. It has been a feature that has been in demand. I think the way we're very excited by the interest is a company by the name of Audacy, which started using the APIs back in November when they went beta, and they actually decided to use it in production before GA. They used it at CES for a virtual event platform. We've seen some other really cool uses of it. We have customers building virtual concert experiences where they're using one of the ways in which they're using Dolby.io is to enable the avatars and the virtual crowd to be able to interact with each other. We have another who's building an online comedy venue so that the comedians can interact with the audience. We're really excited about that release. Again, it just went into GA today. I'll talk about Millicast. Again, that's just closed in the last day or two. We're really excited to bring them on board because it really is just a great puzzle piece in our platform. What they do is live ultra-low-latency streaming. What that means, Steve, is that all of these examples we've been talking about, the experiences that the developers create with Dolby.io, which you know today we sort of support about 5,000 active participants meaning that they're live interacting participants. You can also now live stream those, that experience to over 60,000 passive listeners. We're really excited about it. They also have some cool customers. I mentioned in the script, NBC, the NFL, Disney, all of those companies are using it as part of their solution for real production. You can imagine being able to live stream all the angles while you're putting these productions together is important. We think there's a lot of synergy. Obviously, we look to offer our rest of our Dolby.io awareness to their customers and vice versa. Great. Thank you, Kevin. Thank you for your question. There are currently no further questions queued. Just as a reminder, to queue a question, press star one. Our next question is with Paul Chung with JP Morgan. Paul, please proceed. Hi. Thanks for taking my question. Just on the Samsung adoption, you know, what kind of spurred that in your view? Is there kind of a higher probability today of maybe seeing some division adoption, some nice momentum on the audio side in there? Well, I think, you know, in our, I guess from where we sit, we view it as a natural progression over, you know, a relationship that spans, you know, many years and decades for that matter. But, you know, in more recent history, it's been about continuing, you know, getting those first engagements with them in sound bars, PCs, mobile devices. It's been about continuing to bring more value to the Dolby Atmos experience by bringing more content to life, including, you know, not just movies and TV, but gaming and sports and beyond. I think that's kind of the progression that leads us to their announcement that they'll support Dolby Atmos in their TVs. I think as we look forward to whether it's Dolby Vision or any other technology, we just keep working that playbook. We can never predict, you know, when or if you know who is gonna adopt it. We, you know, our playbook is to keep doing what we're doing. As it relates to Dolby Vision, that means continuing to expand beyond our significant presence in movie and TV to other forms of content, with sports, you can catch the Winter Olympics over Comcast in Vision and Atmos. Gaming, we're continuing to make a lot of progress there with Xbox supporting Vision and Atmos. That's the playbook, and we're gonna stick to it. Great. On mobile, one Q is a bit softer than what we were kind of expecting. What changed since the previous quarter when you initially guided there? You have, you know, a key customer putting up some record shipments. Just trying to reconcile the two. The first thing I say is that we do see growth in mobile for the year. That is driven by growth in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos adoption. We do have that being offset somewhat by recoveries in timing of payments compared to the prior year. On a quarterly basis, that's where you're seeing that come through in the first quarter. Gotcha. On Atmos in the car, you know, with Mercedes-Benz and NIO here, are you gaining more interest from other, you know, auto OEMs? Are you seeing some momentum there as well? Yeah. I mean, first of all, yeah, we're really excited about our relationship with Mercedes and with NIO and Lucid. I think it's one of the most impactful demos we have right now, getting people in the car and hearing their favorites in Dolby Atmos in the car. Yes, we have really strong engagement across the industry. That was a primary, you know, we obviously have a lot of things to focus on at CES, but that was certainly top of mind for us. We had good engagement and we had our Dolby demo cars there to help us. Gotcha. You know, the acquisition, you haven't done one in quite some time. Is this kind of a signal of you know, more priority to maybe pursue some acquisitions? Should we expect some kind of accelerating buybacks in the coming quarters from the increasing capacity a bit? Thanks. Why don't I take the first question. First of all, we're really excited about Millicast. It's just a great fit in terms of their presence in exactly something we wanted to do with our platform and where we wanted to take the platform. It's just a great fit. I do think that, and I've said for some time, I think that there will be opportunities in Dolby.io to look for acquisitions that fill out our platform and along the way bring on, you know, customers and presence in our target verticals. Yeah, this one's a great fit and we're excited to have them. Robert? Yeah. It's Robert. Regarding the buyback, yes, the authorization was there to provide enough headroom. You'll see a meaningful step up in our buyback over the next few quarters here, and we needed the headroom in order to do that. We got that done this month. Great. Thank you. Thanks for your question. There are still currently no further questions registered. Just as one more reminder, to ask a question, press star one. Well, with that being said, I will pass the call back over to Kevin for closing remarks. Okay. Well, thank you everybody for joining us today. We will stay focused on continuing to drive adoption of Vision and Dolby Atmos and work towards gaining our momentum with Dolby.io. We look forward to continuing to update you on our progress. Thanks for joining.
