Financial Highlights
Verisign ended the third quarter with Cash, Cash Equivalents,Marketable Securities and Restricted Cash of$1.50 billion , an increase of$147 million from year-end 2011.- Cash flow from operations was
$122 million for the third quarter compared with$108 million for the same quarter in 2011. - Deferred revenues ended the third quarter of 2012 totaling
$809 million , an increase of$80 million from year-end 2011. - Capital expenditures were
$14 million in the third quarter of 2012. - During the third quarter,
Verisign repurchased 1.7 million shares of its common stock for a cost of$77 million . AtSept. 30, 2012 , approximately$610 million remained available and authorized for share repurchases. - For purposes of calculating diluted EPS, the third quarter diluted share count included 9.2 million shares related to the convertible debentures, compared with no dilutive effect in the same quarter in 2011. These represent dilutive shares and not shares that have been issued.
- Due to the stock price exceeding the convertible debentures trigger during the third quarter of 2012, holders have the option to convert the debentures into common stock during the fourth quarter of 2012. Consequently, the debt component of the convertible debentures, the related embedded derivative, and deferred tax liability were reclassified from long-term liabilities to current liabilities, while the associated unamortized debt issuance costs were reclassified from long-term assets to current assets, as of
Sept. 30, 2012 .
Business Highlights
- Verisign Registry Services added 1.37 million net new names and ended the third quarter with approximately 119.9 million active domain names in the zone for .com and .net, representing a 7.1 percent increase year over year.
- In the third quarter,
Verisign processed 7.8 million new domain name registrations for .com and .net, representing a 1.1 percent decrease year over year.
