- Actual results could differ materially from the estimates Dolby is providing below due in part to uncertainty resulting from the macroeconomic effect of certain conditions, including supply chain constraints, international conflicts, geopolitical instability, and fluctuations in inflation and interest rates.
- The uncertainty resulting from these factors has greatly reduced its visibility into Dolby’s future outlook.
