Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 27, 2011, VeriSign, Inc. (“VeriSign” or the “Company”) announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2010 and certain other information. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

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 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, stock-based compensation, amortization of other intangible assets, impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets, restructuring costs, contingent interest payment to holders of our convertible debentures 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 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 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. 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 10% Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth in 2010

DULLES, VA – January 27, 2011 – VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), the trusted provider of Internet infrastructure services for the networked world, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of 2010 and year ended December 31, 2010.

Fourth Quarter GAAP Financial Results

VeriSign, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Verisign”) reported revenue of $179 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, up 4% from the prior quarter and up 13% from the same quarter in 2009. Verisign reported net loss attributable to Verisign stockholders of $(41) million and net loss per share attributable to Verisign stockholders of $(0.23) on a diluted basis for the fourth quarter of 2010, reflecting a $109 million payment of contingent interest to holders of the 3.25% Junior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due 2037 (“Convertible Debentures”) in connection with a special dividend in December. This compared to net income attributable to Verisign stockholders of $92 million and earnings per share attributable to Verisign stockholders of $0.48 on a diluted basis in the same quarter in 2009. The operating margin was 37.7% for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to 29.9% for the same quarter in 2009.

Because the company has not fully completed the tax provision calculation process, tax provisions for both the fourth quarter and full year 2010 are still preliminary and therefore GAAP net income/loss and GAAP earnings/loss per share for these periods are also preliminary. Final tax provisions, GAAP net income/loss, and GAAP earnings/loss per share will be updated in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 to be filed with the SEC and may differ materially from the amounts reported above.

Fourth Quarter Non-GAAP Financial Results

Verisign reported net income attributable to Verisign stockholders of $54 million and earnings per share attributable to Verisign stockholders of $0.31 on a diluted basis for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to net income attributable to Verisign stockholders of $33 million and earnings per share attributable to Verisign stockholders of $0.17 on a diluted basis in the same quarter in 2009. The operating margin was 44.3% for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to 35.4% 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.

“We are pleased with our performance this quarter, capping a strong year of execution in which the business continued to benefit from favorable Internet trends,” said Mark McLaughlin, president and chief executive officer of Verisign. “In 2011, we will continue to provide exceptional service to our customers and help them grow by providing services that address the reliability and availability demands of increased Internet usage and cloud computing.”

2010 GAAP Financial Results

For the year ended December 31, 2010, Verisign reported revenue of $681 million, up 10% from $616 million in 2009. Verisign reported net income attributable to Verisign stockholders of $831 million and earnings per share attributable to Verisign stockholders of $4.64 on a diluted basis, reflecting a net gain of


$726 million, net of tax of $254 million, on the sale of the Authentication Services business. This compared to net income attributable to Verisign stockholders of $246 million and earnings per share attributable to Verisign stockholders of $1.28 on a diluted basis in 2009. The operating margin for 2010 was 34.1% compared to 26.0% in 2009.

2010 Non-GAAP Financial Results

Verisign reported net income attributable to Verisign stockholders of $185 million and earnings per share attributable to Verisign stockholders of $1.03 on a diluted basis, compared to net income attributable to Verisign stockholders of $124 million and earnings per share attributable to Verisign stockholders of $0.64 on a diluted basis in 2009. The operating margin for 2010 was 41.8% compared to 33.3% in 2009. A table reconciling the GAAP to the non-GAAP results (which excludes items described below) is appended to this release.

“Our key long-term financial priorities have been growth and increased operating leverage, and we made substantial progress on both in 2010 due to our continued strategic focus, execution and operating discipline,” said Brian Robins, chief financial officer of Verisign.

Financial Highlights

 

   

On December 10, Verisign announced a special cash dividend of $3.00 per share of its common stock or $518 million that was paid on December 28, 2010 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 20, 2010. In addition, a contingent interest payment totaling $109 million was paid on December 28, 2010 to holders of record of Verisign’s Convertible Debentures at the close of business on December 20, 2010.

   

During 2010, Verisign repurchased approximately 16 million shares for a cost of approximately $438 million. This included the repurchase of 0.4 million shares in the fourth quarter for $14 million to partially offset dilution.

   

Upon wind-down in the fourth quarter of the operations of the Content Portal Services (“CPS”) business, and upon the sale of the Authentication Services business during the year, historical operations for both businesses were reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

   

Verisign ended the fourth quarter with Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities and Restricted Cash of $2.063 billion, a decrease of $488 million from the prior quarter and an increase of $585 million from the same quarter in 2009.

   

Cash flow from operations on a consolidated basis was $47 million for the fourth quarter and $215 million for the full year. Excess tax benefits of $132 million for the full year that are associated with stock-based compensation were classified as financing cash flows.

   

Deferred revenues from continuing operations on December 31, 2010 totaled $663 million, an increase of $9 million from the prior quarter and $77 million from the same quarter in 2009.

   

Capital expenditures, on a consolidated basis, were $12 million in the fourth quarter and $81 million for the full year. For the full year, approximately 25% of capital expenditures were related to the Authentication Services business prior to its sale.

Business and Corporate Highlights

 

   

Verisign Registry Services ended the quarter with approximately 105.2 million active domain names in the adjusted zone for .com and .net, representing a 9% increase year-over-year.

   

In the fourth quarter, Verisign added 7.6 million new domain name registrations, representing a 4% increase year-over-year.


   

During the fourth quarter, Verisign deployed Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) in the .net domain to provide origin authentication of DNS data, authenticated denial of existence, and data integrity.

   

Over the course of 2010, Verisign processed more than 22 trillion total queries through its infrastructure, compared to 18 trillion in 2009. Verisign experienced an average daily query load of 61 billion during the fourth quarter, compared to 66 billion in the prior quarter and 52 billion in the same quarter in 2009.

   

Verisign ended the fourth quarter of 2010 with approximately 1,050 employees, compared to 1,100 employees at the end of the prior quarter.

Non-GAAP Items

Non-GAAP financial results exclude the following items that are included under GAAP: discontinued operations, stock-based compensation, amortization of other intangible assets, impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets, restructuring costs, contingent interest payment to holders of our Convertible Debentures, 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 operating income and net income attributable to Verisign stockholders is appended to this release. All non-GAAP figures for each period presented herein have been conformed to exclude the foregoing items under GAAP.

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, stock-based compensation, amortization of other intangible assets, impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets, restructuring costs, contingent interest payment to holders of our Convertible Debentures, 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 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.
