Forward guidance
Dolby is providing estimates for its third quarter and second half of fiscal 2021, but the volume of shipments continues to be impacted and difficult to predict because of economic uncertainty due to COVID-19. The global cinema market has been adversely impacted by COVID-19, and it remains uncertain when and where cinemas will resume operating at full capacity.
