   "VeriSign, Inc., and subsidiaries ("Verisign") reported revenue of $239 million for the second quarter of 2013, up 12 percent from the same quarter in 2012. Verisign reported net income of $87 million and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.55 for the second quarter of 2013, compared to net income of $68 million and diluted EPS of $0.42 in the same quarter in 2012. The operating margin was 55.2 percent for the second quarter of 2013 compared to 50.0 percent for the same quarter in 2012.

Second Quarter Non-GAAP Financial Results

    Verisign reported, on a non-GAAP basis, net income of $92 million and diluted EPS of $0.58 for the second quarter of 2013, compared to net income of $74 million and diluted EPS of $0.45 for the same quarter in 2012. The non-GAAP operating margin was 58.9 percent for the second quarter of 2013 compared to 54.0 percent for the same quarter in 2012. A table reconciling the GAAP to the non-GAAP results (which excludes items described below) is appended to this release.

"We posted solid operational and financial results for the second quarter and repurchased 7.1 million shares for $334 million during the quarter," commented Jim Bidzos, executive chairman, president and chief executive officer.

Financial Highlights

    Verisign ended the second quarter with Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities of $2.0 billion, an increase of $441 million from year-end 2012, primarily reflecting the April 2013 issue of $750 million of its 4.625% senior notes due May 2023 and other items noted in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Cash flow from operations was $147 million for the second quarter compared with $135 million for the same quarter in 2012.

Deferred revenues on June 30, 2013, totaled $856 million, an increase of $44 million from year-end 2012.

    Capital expenditures were $20 million in the second quarter of 2013.

    During the second quarter, Verisign repurchased approximately 7.1 million shares of its common stock for approximately $334 million.

On July 24, 2013, the Board of Directors approved an additional authorization for share repurchases of approximately $519 million of common stock, which brings the total amount to $1 billion authorized and available under the Company's share buyback program, which has no expiration.

    For purposes of calculating diluted EPS, the second quarter diluted share count included 9.4 million shares related to the subordinated convertible debentures, compared with 5.6 million shares in the same quarter in 2012. These represent diluted shares and not shares that have been issued.

    The company's common stock price continued to exceed the subordinated convertible debentures trigger price during the second quarter of 2013, thus holders continue to have the option to convert the debentures into common stock during the third quarter of 2013. The balance sheet classification of the subordinated convertible debentures and related assets and liabilities as current remains the same as the prior quarter.

Business Highlights

    Verisign Registry Services added 1.22 million net new names during the second quarter, ending with 124.3 million active domain names in the zone for .com and .net, which represents a 4.9 percent increase over the zone at the end of the second quarter a year ago.

In the second quarter, Verisign processed 8.7 million new domain name registrations as compared to 8.4 million in the same quarter a year prior.

    The final .com and .net renewal rate for the first quarter of 2013 was 73.2 percent compared with 73.9 percent for the first quarter of 2012. Renewal rates are not fully measurable until 45 days after the end of the quarter.

    Verisign announced an increase in the registry domain name fee for .net domain names from $5.62 to $6.18, effective February 1, 2014, per its agreement with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).

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 charges, contingent interest payments to holders of the subordinated convertible debentures, unrealized gain/loss on contingent interest derivative on subordinated convertible debentures, and non-cash interest expense. Non-GAAP financial information is also adjusted for a 28 percent tax rate starting from the third quarter of 2012, and 30 percent for the other periods presented herein, both of which differ from the GAAP tax rate. A table reconciling the GAAP to non-GAAP operating income and net income is appended to this release. "
