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 and annual 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 businesses 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 may 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 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 reported net income attributable to VeriSign, Inc. and subsidiaries of $92 million and earnings per share attributable to VeriSign, Inc. and subsidiaries of $0.48 on a diluted basis for the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to net loss attributable to VeriSign, Inc. and subsidiaries of $(96) million and net loss per share attributable to VeriSign, Inc. and subsidiaries of $(0.50) on a diluted basis in the same quarter in 2008. The operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2009, which includes a $4 million out of period VeriSign Japan related depreciation adjustment, was 31.4% compared to (2.0)% in the same quarter in 2008.

A table reconciling the GAAP to the non-GAAP results (which excludes items described below) is appended to this release.

“We had a good year in 2009 in which we delivered solid top line revenue growth while increasing the operating leverage in our core businesses and completing the divestitures of our non-core businesses,” said Mark McLaughlin, president and chief executive officer of VeriSign. “I believe we’re well positioned for 2010 and beyond.”

2009 GAAP Financial Results

For the year ended December 31, 2009, VeriSign reported revenue of $1.031 billion from continuing operations, compared to $965 million in 2008. VeriSign reported net income attributable to VeriSign, Inc. and subsidiaries of $246 million and earnings per share attributable to VeriSign, Inc. and subsidiaries of $1.28 on a diluted basis, compared to net loss attributable to VeriSign, Inc. and subsidiaries of $(374) million and net loss per share attributable to VeriSign, Inc. and subsidiaries of $(1.87) on a diluted basis in 2008.

“In 2009, VeriSign increased revenue, improved productivity and maintained a healthy balance sheet,” said Brian Robins, chief financial officer of VeriSign. “In 2010, we will remain focused on our two key long-term financial priorities: growth and increased operating leverage.”

Business and Corporate Highlights

 

   

VeriSign Naming Services ended the quarter with approximately 96.7 million active domain names in the adjusted zone for .com and .net, representing a 7% increase year-over-year.

 

   

On December 17, 2009, VeriSign announced that as of July 1, 2010, the registry fee for .com domain names will increase from $6.86 to $7.34 and that the registry fee for .net domain names will increase from $4.23 to $4.65.

 

   

VeriSign reports average daily query load of 52 billion in the quarter, compared to 54 billion in the prior quarter and 35 billion in the same quarter in 2008.

 

   

During the quarter, VeriSign announced its strategic approach for working with the Internet community to deploy DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) in the .com and .net Top Level Domain Names (TLDs), thereby helping to protect the Internet’s Domain Name System (DNS) from “man in the middle” and cache poisoning attacks.

 

   

VeriSign Business Authentication Services ended the quarter with 1.22 million SSL certificates in the installed base, an increase of 9% over the same quarter last year.

 

   

VeriSign completed the divestiture of 14 non-core businesses, in addition to the sale of the remaining interest in the Jamba joint venture, raising proceeds in excess of $765 million.

 

   

In November 2009, the company closed the sale of MDG Services, a carve-out of the former Messaging business and the final non-core business to be divested. Earlier in the quarter, VeriSign also completed the sales of Global Security Consulting and Messaging and Mobile Media Services.

 

   

During the quarter, the company decided to wind down its Content Portal Services (CPS) business, and accordingly reclassified CPS’s results into continuing operations for all periods presented. The Pre-Pay Billing and Payment Services business was fully wound down in October 2009, and its results of operations were reclassified into discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Financial Highlights

 

   

Naming Services delivered $159 million of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009, up 9% from the same quarter in 2008. Authentication Services delivered revenue of $103 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, up 1% from the same quarter in 2008.

 

   

General and administrative expenses increased in the fourth quarter primarily due to a $4 million out of period depreciation adjustment correcting for certain assets held at VeriSign Japan that were depreciated over a period longer than their useful lives.

 

   

In the fourth quarter, VeriSign repurchased approximately 9 million shares of its common stock for a cost of $208 million. For the full year, VeriSign repurchased approximately 11 million shares for an aggregate cost of $253 million.

 

   

VeriSign ended the fourth quarter with Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash of $1.48 billion, an increase of $45 million from the prior quarter and $688 million from the end of 2008.

 

   

Cash flow from operations, on a consolidated basis, was approximately $173 million for the fourth quarter and approximately $395 million for the full year, after giving effect to a classification of $26 million of year-to-date excess tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation as financing cash flows.


   

Deferred revenue on December 31, 2009 totaled $888 million for continuing operations, an increase of $7 million from the prior quarter and $43 million from the end of 2008.

 

   

During the fourth quarter, VeriSign completed the purchase of its previously-leased Dulles, Virginia office and data center property for approximately $26 million.

 

   

Capital expenditures, on a consolidated basis, were approximately $51 million for the fourth quarter and $117 million for the full year.

Non-GAAP Items

Non-GAAP financial results exclude the following items that are included under GAAP: discontinued operations, non-core businesses 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 may not exclude these same items and as such should not be used for comparison purposes.

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 and annual 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 businesses 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.

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.
