Frequently asked questions
What is Dolby Laboratories's revenue?
Dolby Laboratories's trailing twelve-month revenue is $1.36B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is DLB?
In its most recent fiscal year, DLB ran a gross margin of 88.13%, an operating margin of 19.64%, and a net margin of 18.90%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does DLB generate?
DLB produced $430.26M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is DLB's balance sheet healthy?
DLB holds $701.89M in cash and equivalents against — in long-term debt, on $2.62B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
