Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

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: discontinued operations, non-core business in continuing operations, stock-based compensation, amortization of other intangible assets, impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets, restructuring costs and non-cash interest expense. Non-GAAP financial information is also adjusted for a 30% tax rate which differs from the GAAP tax rate. All non-GAAP figures for each period presented in Exhibit 99.1 have been conformed to exclude the foregoing items under GAAP. Prior disclosures of non-GAAP figures do not exclude these same items and as such should not be used for comparison purposes.

Management believes that this non-GAAP financial data supplements our GAAP financial data by providing investors with additional information that 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. In the press release attached hereto to as Exhibit 99.1, 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.

VeriSign Reports 9% Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth in Second Quarter 2010

Company Achieves 4% Quarter-Over-Quarter Growth in Naming Services Deferred Revenue

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – August 2, 2010 – VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), the trusted provider of Internet infrastructure services for the networked world, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Second Quarter GAAP Financial Results

VeriSign, Inc. and subsidiaries (“VeriSign”) reported revenue of $169 million from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2010, up 4% from the prior quarter and up 9% from the same quarter in 2009. Continuing operations consist primarily of the results of the Naming Services business which is comprised of Registry Services and Network Intelligence and Availability (NIA) Services. NIA includes iDefense and the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation business. Results related to the Authentication Services business for the second quarter have been reclassified as discontinued operations following the announced sale of this business to Symantec. VeriSign reported net income attributable to VeriSign, Inc. stockholders of $35 million and earnings per share attributable to VeriSign, Inc. stockholders of $0.19 on a diluted basis for the second quarter of 2010, compared to net income attributable to VeriSign, Inc. stockholders of $35 million and earnings per share attributable to VeriSign, Inc. stockholders of $0.18 on a diluted basis in the same quarter in 2009. The operating margin was 30.0% for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 27.8% for the same quarter in 2009.

VeriSign reported segment revenue for Naming Services of $168 million for the second quarter of 2010, up 4% from the prior quarter and up 9% from the same quarter in 2009. The non-core Content Portal Services (CPS) business reported $1 million of revenue as part of continuing operations during the second quarter of 2010.

“With the expected closing of the sale of the Authentication Services business to Symantec, VeriSign will be focused on the Naming Services business where we are the market leader and where, with increasing Internet usage globally, we see opportunities for growth,” said Mark McLaughlin, president and chief executive officer of VeriSign. “Our second quarter results reflect continued positive Internet trends and continued operational discipline.”

Second Quarter Non-GAAP Financial Results

For Naming Services, VeriSign reported net income attributable to VeriSign, Inc. stockholders of $43 million and earnings per share attributable to VeriSign, Inc. stockholders of $0.24 on a diluted basis for the second quarter of 2010, compared to net income attributable to VeriSign, Inc. stockholders of $30 million and earnings per share attributable to VeriSign, Inc. stockholders of $0.16 on a diluted basis in the same quarter in 2009. The operating margin was 40.5% for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 33.9% for the same quarter in 2009. A table reconciling the GAAP to the non-GAAP results (which excludes items described below) is appended to this release.

“Continued quarter-over-quarter revenue growth in Naming Services led to a GAAP operating margin of 30% and non-GAAP operating margin of 40.5%,” said Brian Robins, chief financial officer of VeriSign. “Our recurring revenue business model helped us to maintain a healthy balance sheet, and we returned more than $275 million to shareholders in the first half of 2010 through share repurchases.”

Financial Highlights

 

   

Revenue from discontinued operations, consisting of the Authentication Services business, was $102 million during the second quarter.


   

On July 27, 2010, the Board of Directors approved an additional authorization for share repurchases of approximately $1.1 billion, which brings the total amount authorized and remaining under the plan to $1.5 billion.

 

   

VeriSign ended the second quarter with Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities and Restricted Cash, excluding cash included as part of assets held for sale, of $1.339 billion, a decrease of $213 million from the prior quarter and an increase of $28 million from the same quarter in 2009.

 

   

In the second quarter, VeriSign repurchased 8.1 million shares of its common stock for a cost of $227 million.

 

   

Cash flow from operations, on a consolidated basis, was $149 million for the second quarter, after giving effect to a classification of $4 million of excess tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation as financing cash flows.

 

   

Deferred revenue on June 30, 2010 totaled $641 million for Naming Services, an increase of $24 million from the prior quarter and $65 million from the same quarter in 2009.

 

   

Capital expenditures, on a consolidated basis, were $23 million in the second quarter.

Business and Corporate Highlights

 

   

On May 19, 2010, VeriSign announced a definitive agreement to sell its Authentication Services business to Symantec for approximately $1.28 billion in cash. The transaction is expected to close within 90 days of May 19, 2010.

 

   

VeriSign Naming Services ended the quarter with approximately 101.5 million active domain names in the adjusted zone for .com and .net, representing a 9% increase year-over-year.

 

   

In the second quarter, VeriSign added 7.9 million new domain name registrations, representing a 13% increase year-over-year.

 

   

VeriSign experienced an average daily query load of 63 billion in the quarter, compared to 54 billion in the prior quarter and 49 billion in the same quarter in 2009.

 

   

VeriSign ended the second quarter of 2010 with approximately 2,225 employees on a consolidated basis, compared to 2,200 employees at the end of the prior quarter. Approximately 1,100 employees were part of continuing operations as of the end of the second quarter, a number which is expected to be further reduced over approximately twelve months.

Non-GAAP Items

Non-GAAP financial results exclude the following items that are included under GAAP: discontinued operations, non-core business in continuing operations, stock-based compensation, amortization of other intangible assets, impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets, restructuring costs and non-cash interest expense. Non-GAAP financial information is also adjusted for a 30% tax rate which differs from the GAAP tax rate. A table reconciling the GAAP to non-GAAP net income is appended to this release. All non-GAAP figures for each period presented herein have been conformed to exclude the foregoing items under GAAP. Prior disclosures of non-GAAP figures do not exclude the same items and as such should not be used for comparison purposes.

NIA Services was formerly known as VeriSign Internet Defense Services.
(2) Results of the non-core business in continuing operations during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 includes stock-based compensation of $47 and $145, respectively.

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 release, 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: discontinued operations, non-core business in continuing operations, stock-based compensation, amortization of other intangible assets, impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets, restructuring costs and non-cash interest expense. Non-GAAP financial information is also adjusted for a 30% tax rate which differs from the GAAP tax rate. All non-GAAP figures for each period presented above have been conformed to exclude the foregoing items under GAAP. Prior disclosures of non-GAAP figures do not exclude the same items and as such should not be used for comparison purposes.

Management believes that this non-GAAP financial data supplements our GAAP financial data by providing investors with additional information that 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 nor 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.
