(DLB) April 20, 2015 Information Technology – Diversified Electronics Stock Rating Buy Investment Thesis Target Price $41 I $45 Dolby Laboratories is a leader in audio and imaging technologies used by the entertainment and communications industries. The company has a unique business plan where they create demand for their technologies on the consumer end by giving away equipment and services to content creators. Dolby had a significant investment cycle the last few years with new products and technologies being released that will produce incremental revenues and drive growth into the future. The transition to digital television in emerging markets will sustain growth for the company. With emerging markets and new, innovative technologies to drive growth, we recommend a buy rating. Drivers of Thesis Dolby has successfully integrated their audio technology into television broadcasts in emerging markets. The global transition from analog to digital television will increase broadcast licensing revenue at a 6.35% CAGR over the next five years. New UHD standards for digital televisions will drive a consumer upgrade cycle and increase Dolby licensing and product revenue, contributing to the 5.13% CAGR of overall revenue for the next five years. Released Dolby Cinema and partnered with AMC to open 50 theaters by 2018. We expect cinema product revenue to increase at a 19.4% CAGR into 2019. Dolby Cinema will also help drive content creation using Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos technologies. Risks to Thesis Dolby relies on content creators to use their technologies. Content creators do not have contractual obligations to use Dolby technologies and could therefore stop using them whenever they want. Consumer Electronic manufactures are pushing for open standards for new UHD televisions. Open standards for UHD would eliminate Dolby Vision licensing revenue. The shift from DVD to streaming media will continue to decrease licensing revenue of the consumer electronics segment at a [1.64% CAGR into 2019 Henry Fund DCF $44.07 Henry Fund DDM $35.39 Relative Multiple $44.53 Price Data Current Price $37.62 52wk Range $37.25 – 47.29 Consensus 1yr Target $39.00 Key Statistics Market Cap (B) $3.94 Shares Outstanding (M) 102.6 Institutional Ownership 45.4% Five Year Beta 0.966 Dividend Yield 1.04% Analyst Est. 5yr Growth 10.00% Price/Earnings (TTM) 20.7 Price/Earnings (FY1) 22.7 Price/Sales (TTM) 4.06 Debt/Equity 0.00 Profitability Operating Margin 28.76% Net Profit Margin 21.47% Return on Assets (TTM) 11.07% Return on Equity (TTM) 12.76% Earnings Estimates Year 2012 2013 2014 2015E 2016E 2017E EPS $2.47 $1.86 $2.02 $1.66 $1.73 $1.89 Growth 611.2% 624.7% 8.6% 617.7% 4.1% 9.4% 12 Month Performance Company Description Dolby Laboratories develops technologies that improve the entertainment experience in cinemas, at home, at work, and on mobile devices.

the& semiconductor& manufacturers.& & The& OEMs& are&required& to&pay&an& initial& license& fee&as&well&as& royalties.&&The& amount& of& royalties& collected& depends& on& which&Dolby&technologies&are&used&and&the&volume&of&products&that&are&sold&by&the&OEM.&

Mobile&licensing&revenue&includes&fees&received&from&the&sale&of&smartphones&and&tablets.&&Dolby&indicated&in&their&2014&earnings&call&that&Mobile&licensing&has&potential&for&tremendous& growth& as& HTC,& Lenovo,& and& Amazon& have&included& Dolby& technologies& on& their& tablets.& & However,&Mobile& licensing&will& take& a& hit& in& 2015,& as& Samsung&will&no& longer& include& Dolby& technologies& on& their& next&generation&of&Galaxy&smart&phones.&

UHD$Alliance$Formed$

The& UHD& alliance& was& formed& to& develop& standards& for&the& next& generation& of& televisions.& & The& companies& that&make& up& the& alliance& include& content& creators& and&distributors,& post[production& companies,& and& consumer&electronics&companies.&&The&companies&in&the&alliance&are&Samsung,& Sharp,& Sony,& LG,& Panasonic,&Disney,& Twentieth&Century&Fox,&Warner&Bros.,&Technicolor,&DirecTV,&Netflix,&and&Dolby&Laboratories.&

The& alliance& is& charged& with& defining& what& UHD&means,&with& the& goal& of& making& TV& viewing& look&more& like& real&life.& & Originally,& UHD& meant& 4K& TVs,& which& was& just&increased& resolution& and& was& not& a& significant& enough&increase& in& picture& quality& to& entice& consumers& to& buy&expensive& 4K& TVs.& & While& the& definition& of& UHD& will&include& higher& resolution& than& current& 1080p& HD,& it& will&also& include& an& increase& if& the& visible& color& spectrum&output& by& the& TV.& & Another& aspect& included& in& the& UHD&standard& will& be& high& dynamic& range& (HDR).& & This& will&expand& the& contrast& between& dark& and& light,& which& will&create&darker&blacks&and&brighter&whites.&&With&UHD&TV’s&demonstrated& at& the& 2015& CES& show,& it& is& believed& that&these& changes& will& be& a& significant& enough& increase& in&picture&quality& to& cause&a&massive& consumer&upgrade& to&new& UHD& TV’s,& similar& to& how& 1080p& HD& televisions&caused& consumers& to& upgrade& from& standard& definition&televisions&starting&in&1998.&&

Dolby& has& a& UHD& technology& called& Dolby& Vision.&&Currently&Dolby&is&providing&studios&with&post[production&tools& to& encode&movies& and& other& content& with& Dolby’s&version&of&the&UHD&standard.&&The&UHD&encoded&content&would& then&be&delivered& and&displayed&on&Dolby&Vision[certified& TVs.& &On&April& 14,& 2015,&Vizio& released& the& first&TV&incorporating&Dolby&Vision.& &As&well,&Warner&Brothers&Studios& has& announced& it& will& release& several& films&

Consumer&electronics&manufacturers&do&not&like&having&to&pay& Dolby& license& fees& for& using& their& technologies.&&Therefore,& some& companies& are& lobbying& the& UHD&alliance&to&come&up&with&a&license[free&approach&that&has&open& standards.& & Samsung& is& one& company& hoping& for&open&standards&and&has&already&released&their&version&of&a&UHD&TV&called&S[UHD,&or&Super&Ultra&High&Definition.&

ECONOMIC$OUTLOOK$

The& main& economic& driver& for& Dolby& Laboratories& is&consumer& spending.& & Many& of& the& products& that&incorporate& Dolby& technologies& are& discretionary& goods,&such& as& televisions,& set[top& boxes,& PCs,& Blu[ray& players,&audio/video&receivers,&in[car&entertainment&systems,&and&smart& phones& and& tablets.& & In& 2014,& 91.5%& of& company&revenues& came& from& licensing& of& Dolby& technologies& to&products& such& as& these.& & When& consumer& spending& is&down,& sales& of& these& products& will& also& be& down.&&Consumer&spending&has&been&on&the&rise&since&2009&and&has&maintained&approximately&2%&growth&per&year.&(19)&

Source:&FRED&database&(19)&

One& factor& that& affects& consumer& spending& is& the&unemployment& rate.& & Unemployed& people& are& trying& to&stretch&their&financial&assets&for&a&longer&duration&due&to&the&uncertainty&of& the&end&of& their&unemployment.& &This&leads& to& a& reduction& in& consumer& spending& due& to&financial& limitations.& &We&expect&the&unemployment&rate&to& continue& to& decline& to& 5.47%& in& the& next& 6& months,&which&should&keep&consumer&spending&from&declining.&

Source:&FRED&database&(20)&

Consumer& spending& is& an& important& component& of& GDP&and& we& expect& GDP& to& grow& at& 2.66%& in& the& next& six&months,&and&2.85%&in&the&next&two&years.&&Therefore,&we&expect&consumer&spending&to&continue&to&increase&in&the&foreseeable&future.&

Dolby& Laboratories& has& a& large& percentage& of& revenue&from& foreign& sales.& & Almost& two[thirds& of& their& revenue&has&come&from&foreign&sales&every&year&since&2008.&&With&large& overseas& sales,& strengthening& of& the& U.S.& dollar&could&have&a&negative&impact&on&earnings.&&In&the&next&six&months,&we& expect& the& dollar& to& continue& to& strengthen&against& the& Euro& and& Yen.& & Long& term,& we& expect& the&dollar&to&weaken&slightly&against&the&Euro&and&Yen.&

CATALYSTS$FOR$GROWTH$

Increase$in$R&D$and$Sales$and$Marketing&

Dolby& has& gone& through& a& significant& cycle& of& research&and&development& investment&since&2011& in&order&to& fuel&innovation& and& open& up& new& areas& for& growth& which& is&shown& with& the& release& of& Dolby& Voice,& Dolby& Cinema,&and&Dolby&Vision&in&late&2014&and&early&2015.&&Historically,&R&D& expenses&were& around& 11%& of& revenue.& & However,&R&D&expense&as&a&percent&of&revenue&has&increased&each&year&since&2011&and&is&now&more&than&19%&of&revenue&&

Dolby& has& also& had& a& significant& investment& in& sales& and&marketing& with& this& expense& increasing& from& 13.74%& of&revenue& in& 2009& to& 26.31%& in& 2014.& (2)& This& increase& in&sales& and& marketing& has& significantly& expanded& Dolby’s&presence&online,&and& in& the&mobile&and&digital&broadcast&markets,&offsetting&declines&in&PC&and&DVD/Blu[ray.&

Intellectual$Property$and$Patent$Royalties&

Dolby& is& dependent& upon& patents,& trademarks,& trade&secrets,&copyrights,&and&other&intellectual&property&rights.&&A& large&portion&of& licensing& revenue&depends&on& the& life&of&their&patents.&&Typically,&Dolby’s&licensees&are&required&to& pay& a& full& royalty& with& respect& to& a& particular&technology&until&the&last&patent&covering&that&technology&expires.& & As& of& September& 26,& 2014,& Dolby& had&approximately& 4,300& issued& patents& along& with&approximately& 2,900& pending& patent& applications&thought[out& the& world& with& current& patents& expiring& at&various&times&through&April&of&2039.&(2)&

Relationships$with$Entertainment$Industry&

In&order&to&grow&revenues,&Dolby&must&maintain&and&build&relationships& with& a& broad& range& of& entertainment&industry&players.& &Most& importantly&are& the&relationships&with& content& creators,& such& as& film& directors,& studios,&music&producers,&and&online&content&producers,&because&the&content&is&what&drives&the&rest&of&the&industry.&&Dolby&must& also& keep& good& relationships& with& content&distributors,& such& as& broadcasters,& operators,& and& video&game& publishers,& as& well& as& maintaining& good&relationships& with& device& manufacturers.& & Licensing& of&their& technologies& is& dependent& upon& the& relationships&they& have& with& system& licensees& and& IC& manufacturers.&&Without& strong& relationships,& these& entertainment&industry&participants&may&be&less&likely&to&purchase&or&use&Dolby&technologies,&products,&and&services.&

INVESTMENT$POSITIVES$

•& The& global& shift& from& analog& to& digital& television&will&drive&growth& in&Dolby’s&broadcast& licensing& revenue.&&&At&the&end&of&2014,&67.7%&of&television&households&in&the&world&had&digital&TV.&&This&number&is&expected&to&increase&to&97.9%&by&2020.&(1)&Dolby&has&targeted&India,&China,&and&Africa& and& has& successfully& integrated& their& audio&technologies&into&these&markets&broadcast&standards&and&specifications.& &As&digital&television&penetration&increases&worldwide,&Dolby’s&broadcast&licensing&revenue’s&will&also&increase.&

VALUATION$

We&used&a&DCF,&DDM,&and& relative&P/E&analysis& to&value&Dolby& Laboratories.& These& three& approaches& computed&stock& prices& of& $44.07,& $35.39,& and& $44.53& respectively.&We&believe&that&the&value&of&Dolby&stock&is&closest&to&the&DCF&model.&

Dolby&paid&out& their& first&dividend& in& the& first&quarter&of&2015.& & In& the& DDM& model,& for& the& next& five& years,& we&assumed& a& constant& payout& ratio& of& around& 24%,& which&was&the&ratio&of&the&dividend&paid&in&Q1&2015.&&We&do&not&have&any&historical&data&to&allow&us&to&make&assumptions&for& dividend& growth.& & Therefore,& we& chose& to& disregard&the&DDM&model.&

As& for& the& relative& P/E& analysis,& Dolby& has& two&competitors&that&are&publicly&traded&companies.&&As&well,&Dolby& does& not& always& compete& with& other& companies;&instead,& they& compete& with& industry& standards.& The&relative& P/E& analysis& computed& a& reasonable& price,& but&the& number& of& competing& companies& used& limits& the&model.&

The& DCF& model& was& built& assuming& many& different&revenue& growth& rates& for& each& area& of& business.&&&&Broadcast& licensing& is& the& largest& revenue& generator& for&the& company& and& we& forecasted& a& 6.35%& CAGR& for& the&next& five& years.& & We& assumed& this& growth& rate& due& to&Dolby& targeting& emerging& television& broadcast& markets.&&We& feel& this& growth& rate& is& reasonable& considering& that&broadcast&revenue&previously&had&a&5yr&CAGR&of&20.51%.&&Depending& on& industry& acceptance& and& consumer&popularity&of&Dolby&Vision,&this&growth&rate&could&be&even&higher& as& consumers& in& markets,& such& as& the& United&States& and& Europe,& that& have& nearly& 100%& digital&television&penetration&would&upgrade&their&existing&digital&television.&

Sales& in& the& PC& and& laptop& industry& are& expected& to&decrease& 5.3%& in& 2015.& (21)& Therefore,& we& forecasted& PC&licensing&revenues&to&decrease&5.3%&in&2015.&Overall,&we&

modeled&PC&licensing&decreasing&at&a&CAGR&of&[2.69%&into&2019& due& to& the& slowing& rate& of& decrease& of& PC& sales& in&recent&years.&

Due&to&the&decreasing&popularity&of&DVD&and&Blu[ray,&we&modeled& declining& revenues& for& consumer& electronics&licensing& at& a& [1.64%& CAGR& from& 2014& to& 2019.& & We&believe&sales&for&this&segment&will&pick&back&up&in&2018&as&more&streaming&services&begin&to&stream&Dolby&audio&and&video&technologies,&which&will&once&again&drive&consumer&electronics&devices&to&license&Dolby&technologies.&

For&mobile& licensing&revenues,&we&forecasted&a&decrease&in&revenues&of&[2%&in&2015&due&to&the&loss&of&the&Samsung&Galaxy& S6.& & However& we& believe& revenues& will& begin& to&grow&again&in&2016&due&to&the&new&agreements&with&HTC,&Lenovo,&and&Amazon.&&We&have&modeled&a&3.5%&CAGR&for&mobile&licensing&revenues&after&2015&into&2019.&

“Other”&licensing&is&currently&9.15%&of&the&total&company&revenue.& & Starting& in& 2015,& “other”&will& include& licensing&of& Dolby& Voice.& & We& have& modeled& a& 10.89%& CAGR& for&“other”& licensing& into& 2019& which& will& increase& “other”&licensing& to& 11.6%& of& revenue.& & With& all& of& these&assumptions,& we& have& modeled& total& licensing& revenue&growth&at&a&4.5%&CAGR&over&the&next&five&years.&

In&2014,&product&revenue&accounted&for&only&6.17%&of&the&total& companies& revenue& and& has& been& declining& since&2010.& &With& the& acquisition& of& Doremi& in& late& 2014,& we&believe& cinema& revenue& will& reverse& its& recent& declining&revenue& trend.& &We&have&modeled&a&19.39%&CAGR& from&2014& to& 2019.& & This& growth& will& increase& sales& to& $123&million&by&2019,&which&is&near&2011&revenues&for&cinema&products.&&&

Broadcast&product&revenue&was&modeled&to&increase&at&a&14.13%& CAGR& due& to& increased& Dolby& Atmos& adoption.&&“Other”& product& revenue& will& include& the& Dolby&conference& phone& in& 2015.& & Therefore& we& modeled&“Other”& product& revenue& to& increase& at& a& 28.77%& CAGR&for&the&next&5&years&due&to&sales&of&the&Dolby&Conference&phone.& & Both& of& these& growth& rates& for& broadcast& and&“other”&product&revenue&will&equate&to&a&combined&1.5%&of& the& overall& revenue.& & With& these& assumptions,& total&product& revenue& will& grow& at& a& 19.35%& CAGR& over& the&next&5&years&and&become&11.63%&of&overall&revenue.&

In& the& FY& 2014& earnings& call,& Dolby& inferred& they& were&nearing&the&end&of&a&significant& investment&cycle.& & In&our&model,& we& forecasted& sales& and& marketing& to& grow& to&29%& of& revenues& in& 2015& with& that& expense& slowing& to&22%&of&revenue&in&2019,&which&is&between&2012&and&2013&
