Financial Highlights
Verisign ended the second quarter with Cash,Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities of$2.0 billion , an increase of$441 million from year-end 2012, primarily reflecting theApril 2013 issue of$750 million of its 4.625% senior notes dueMay 2023 and other items noted in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.- Cash flow from operations was
$147 million for the second quarter compared with$135 million for the same quarter in 2012. - Deferred revenues on
June 30, 2013 , totaled$856 million , an increase of$44 million from year-end 2012. - Capital expenditures were
$20 million in the second quarter of 2013. - During the second quarter,
Verisign repurchased approximately 7.1 million shares of its common stock for approximately$334 million . - On
July 24, 2013 , the Board of Directors approved an additional authorization for share repurchases of approximately$519 million of common stock, which brings the total amount to$1 billion authorized and available under the Company's share buyback program, which has no expiration. - For purposes of calculating diluted EPS, the second quarter diluted share count included 9.4 million shares related to the subordinated convertible debentures, compared with 5.6 million shares in the same quarter in 2012. These represent diluted shares and not shares that have been issued.
- The company's common stock price continued to exceed the subordinated convertible debentures trigger price during the second quarter of 2013, thus holders continue to have the option to convert the debentures into common stock during the third quarter of 2013. The balance sheet classification of the subordinated convertible debentures and related assets and liabilities as current remains the same as the prior quarter.
Business Highlights
- Verisign Registry Services added 1.22 million net new names during the second quarter, ending with 124.3 million active domain names in the zone for .com and .net, which represents a 4.9 percent increase over the zone at the end of the second quarter a year ago.
- In the second quarter,
Verisign processed 8.7 million new domain name registrations as compared to 8.4 million in the same quarter a year prior. - The final .com and .net renewal rate for the first quarter of 2013 was 73.2 percent compared with 73.9 percent for the first quarter of 2012. Renewal rates are not fully measurable until 45 days after the end of the quarter.
Verisign announced an increase in the registry domain name fee for .net domain names from$5.62 to$6.18 , effectiveFebruary 1, 2014 , per its agreement with theInternet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
Non-GAAP Items

Non-GAAP financial information is also adjusted for a 28 percent tax rate starting from the third quarter of 2012, and 30 percent for the other periods presented herein, both of which differ from the GAAP tax rate. A table reconciling the GAAP to non-GAAP operating income and net income is appended to this release.

Following the offering of the 4.625% senior notes due 2023 (the "Notes"), we disclose our Adjusted EBITDA for the periods shown below. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Notes. Adjusted EBITDA refers to net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, unrealized loss (gain) on contingent interest derivative on the subordinated convertible debentures and unrealized loss (gain) on hedging agreements.
The following table reconciles GAAP net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods shown below (in thousands):

- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;
- although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
- non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating its ongoing operating performance for a particular period; and
- other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
