VeriSign Reports Second Quarter 2006 Results

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – July 20, 2006 – VeriSign, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRSN), the leading provider of intelligent infrastructure services for the Internet and telecommunications networks, today reported its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006.

VeriSign reported total revenue of $392 million for the second quarter of 2006. On a GAAP basis, VeriSign reported net income of $350 million for the second quarter of 2006 and earnings per share of $1.42 per fully-diluted share. Net income on a GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2006 included a non-cash stock-based compensation charge of $13.2 million for stock option expensing and tax benefits totaling $327 million.

On a non-GAAP basis, using a 30% effective tax rate on non-GAAP pre-tax income of $84 million, earnings per share for the second quarter was $0.24 per diluted share. These non-GAAP results exclude the following items which are included under GAAP: amortization and impairment of intangible assets, acquired in-process research and development, non-cash stock-based compensation, litigation settlements, restructuring and other charges (reversals), net gain on the sale of investments, and income taxes. A table reconciling the GAAP to non-GAAP net income reported above is appended to this release.

“We are pleased with our execution in the first half of 2006,” said Stratton Sclavos, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of VeriSign. “As our results indicate, demand for our intelligent infrastructure services continues to grow as our customers accelerate their migration to network-based interactions with their business partners, employees and customers.”

“Our second quarter results reflect solid performance in the core business and higher than forecasted revenue in the mobile content business, leading to strong operating income for the quarter,” said Dana Evan, Chief Financial Officer of VeriSign. “Driven by our recurring revenue model, these results improved our deferred revenue to $560 million and allowed us to deliver solid operating cash flows of over $90 million this quarter.”

During the second quarter within the Internet Services Group (ISG), VeriSign Security Services (VSS) announced that Charles Schwab selected VeriSign to provide a full set of security services for their clients. Under the terms of the agreement, Charles Schwab will deploy both the VeriSign Identity Protection (VIP) Fraud Detection Service and VIP Authentication Service to secure client login and transaction information. VSS also signed a definitive agreement to acquire GeoTrust, a leading supplier of SSL and other solutions to secure e-business transactions, for approximately $125 million in cash. The acquisition is expected to close in the second half of this year subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to be accretive to earnings per share in 2007.

VeriSign Communications Services (VCS) announced a number of significant customer wins in the quarter for its core solutions, including providing iRoam services to Metro PCS, network connectivity and database services to US LEC and SMS alerts for eBay and Oracle users. As part of VCS’s strategy to expand internationally, VCS signed an agreement to jointly market advance services with IDT Telecom to emerging international markets. In addition, VCS has signed a multi-year deal with SK


Telecom to provide a variety of services including Signaling System 7 (SS7) network connectivity. VCS also completed the acquisition of m-Qube, a leading mobile channel enabler, for $266 million in cash during the quarter.

As previously disclosed on June 27, 2006, VeriSign’s Board of Directors has commenced an internal review and analysis of VeriSign’s historical stock option grants. This internal review is currently in progress. The Board of Directors is being assisted in its review by independent legal counsel. Facts may come to light once the review is completed that may require us to change our accounting treatment of stock options granted in prior periods which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for those periods or other periods.

VeriSign provides quarterly and annual financial statements that are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Along with this information, we typically disclose and discuss certain non-GAAP financial information in our quarterly earnings releases, on investor conference calls and during investor conferences and related events. This non-GAAP financial information does not include the following types of financial measures that are included in GAAP: amortization and impairment of intangible assets, acquired in-process research and development, stock-based compensation, litigation settlements, restructuring and other charges (reversals), net gain on the sale of investments and income taxes. The non-GAAP financial information is also adjusted for a 30% tax rate which differs from the GAAP tax rate.

Management believes that this non-GAAP financial data supplements our GAAP financial data by providing investors with additional information which allows them to have a clearer picture of the company’s core operations. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the non-GAAP information enhances the investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and the comparability of the company’s operating results from period to period. Above, we have provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial information that we provide each quarter with the comparable financial information reported in accordance with GAAP for the given period.
