(1)	Included in Income tax receivables and other current assets


(2)	Included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

The fair value of the Company’s investments in money market funds approximates their face value. Such instruments are classified as Level 1 and are included in Cash and cash equivalents.

The fair value of the debt securities consisting of U.S. Treasury bills is based on their quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1. Debt securities purchased with original maturities in excess of three months are included in Marketable securities.

The fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts is based on foreign currency rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers and other public data sources.

The Company utilizes a valuation model to estimate the fair value of the contingent interest derivative on the subordinated convertible debentures due 2037 (“the Subordinated Convertible Debentures”). The inputs to the model include stock price, bond price, risk adjusted interest rates, volatility, and credit spread observations. As several significant inputs are not observable, the overall fair value measurement of the derivative is classified as Level 3. The volatility and credit spread assumptions used in the calculation are the most significant unobservable inputs. As of March 31, 2014, the valuation of the contingent interest derivative assumed a volatility rate of approximately 26%. A hypothetical 5% increase or decrease in the volatility rate would not significantly change the fair value of the contingent interest derivative. The credit spread assumed in the valuation was approximately 4% at March 31, 2014. A hypothetical 1% increase or decrease in the credit spread would not significantly change the fair value of the contingent interest derivative.

The following table summarizes the change in the fair value of the Company’s contingent interest derivative on the Subordinated Convertible Debentures during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013

Unrealized (gain) loss	(5,269		)	6,433

Other

The Company’s other financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, restricted cash, and accounts payable. As of March 31, 2014, the carrying value of these financial instruments approximated their fair value. The fair values of the Company’s Subordinated Convertible Debentures and the senior notes due 2023 (the “Senior Notes”) as of March 31, 2014, are $2.0 billion and $741.1 million, respectively, and are based on available market information from public data sources. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 2.

Calculation Of Net Income Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Calculation Of Net Income Per Share Attributable To Verisign Stockholders

Calculation of Net Income per Share

The Company computes basic net income per share by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share gives effect to dilutive potential common shares, including the conversion spread relating to the Subordinated Convertible Debentures, unvested RSUs, outstanding stock options, and employee stock purchases, using the treasury stock method. The following table presents the weighted-average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014	2013
	(In thousands)
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding	133,417	152,543
Weighted-average potential shares of common stock outstanding:
Conversion spread related to the Subordinated Convertible Debentures	14,286	7,904
Unvested RSUs	817	787
Stock options	37	104
Employee stock purchase plan	43	8
Shares used to compute diluted net income per share	148,600	161,346

The following table presents the weighted-average potential shares of common stock that were excluded from the above calculation because their effect was anti-dilutive:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014	2013
	(In thousands)
Weighted-average RSUs outstanding	19	301
Employee stock purchase plan	90	86

Performance based RSUs granted by the Company are excluded from the above calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding until the relevant performance criteria are achieved. There were less than 0.3 million such shares excluded from the calculation for each of the periods presented.

Income Taxes

The following table presents income tax expense and the effective tax rate:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
	(Dollars in thousands)
Income tax expense	$	30,293		$	30,378
Effective tax rate	24		%	26		%

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 is lower than the statutory federal rate of 35% primarily due to tax benefits from foreign income taxed at lower rates, partially offset by state income taxes and non-deductible stock-based compensation.

In the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-11, “Income Taxes - Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, Or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” This ASU generally requires that unrecognized tax benefits be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss, similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward that is available to settle additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position, presuming disallowance at the reporting date. As a result of the adoption of this ASU, approximately $36.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits, which had previously been included in Other long-term tax liabilities, have been reclassified on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet to offset the carryforwards that are available to settle the liabilities as of March 31, 2014.

Long-term deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2014 reflects the reclassification of unrecognized tax benefits and the allocation of valuation allowances between current and long-term deferred tax assets. Current deferred tax liabilities as of March 31, 2014 reflects the use of a portion of U.S. federal net operating losses during the first quarter of 2014, an increase in the deferred tax liability related to the Subordinated Convertible Debentures, the reclassification of unrecognized tax benefits and the allocation of valuation allowances between current and long-term deferred tax assets.

Contingencies	3 Months Ended
Contingencies	Mar. 31, 2014
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies	Contingencies Legal Proceedings Verisign is involved in various investigations, claims and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of its business, none of which, in its opinion, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company cannot assure you that it will prevail in any litigation. Regardless of the outcome, any litigation may require the Company to incur significant litigation expense and may result in significant diversion of management attention. While certain legal proceedings and related indemnification obligations to which the Company is a party specify the amounts claimed, such claims may not represent reasonably possible losses. Given the inherent uncertainties of the litigation, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time, nor can the amount of possible loss or range of loss, if any, be reasonably estimated, except in circumstances where an aggregate litigation accrual has been recorded for probable and reasonably estimable loss contingencies. A determination of the amount of accrual required, if any, for these contingencies is made after careful analysis of each matter. The required accrual may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters. The Company does not believe that any such matter currently being reviewed will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Indemnifications In connection with the sale of the Authentication Services business to Symantec in August 2010, the Company has agreed to indemnify Symantec for certain potential legal claims arising from the operation of the Authentication Services business for a period of sixty months after the closing of the sale transaction. The Company’s indemnification obligations in this regard are triggered only when indemnifiable claims exceed in the aggregate $4.0 million. Thereafter, the Company is obligated to indemnify Symantec for 50% of all indemnifiable claims. The Company’s maximum indemnification obligation with respect to these claims is capped at $50.0 million.

- Definition

Cash includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the customer may deposit additional funds at any time and effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid Investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Short-term investments, exclusive of cash equivalents, generally consist of marketable securities intended to be sold within one year (or the normal operating cycle if longer) and may include trading securities, available-for-sale securities, or held-to-maturity securities (if maturing within one year), as applicable.
