SEC.gov | Request Rate Threshold Exceeded

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

You’ve Exceeded the SEC’s Traffic Limit

Your request rate has exceeded the SEC’s maximum allowable requests per second. Your access to SEC.gov will be limited for 10 minutes.

Current guidelines limit each user to a total of no more than 10 requests per second, regardless of the number of machines used to submit requests. To ensure that SEC.gov remains available to all users, we reserve the right to block IP addresses that submit excessive requests.

The block will be lifted automatically by waiting 10 minutes. Continuing to exceed the SEC’s maximum allowable request rate during the time-out period will extend the duration of the time-out period. To ensure fair access for all users, please reduce the rate of your requests and visit SEC.gov again after the 10 minute time-out period has passed.

For best practices on efficiently downloading information from SEC.gov, including the latest EDGAR filings, visit sec.gov/developer. You can also sign up for email updates on the SEC open data program, including best practices that make it more efficient to download data, and SEC.gov enhancements that may impact scripted downloading processes. For more information, contact opendata@sec.gov.

For more information, please see the SEC’s Web Site Privacy and Security Policy. Thank you for your interest in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

For security purposes, and to ensure that the public service remains available to users, this government computer system employs programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or to otherwise cause damage, including attempts to deny service to users.

Unauthorized attempts to upload information and/or change information on any portion of this site are strictly prohibited and are subject to prosecution under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act of 1996 (see Title 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001 and 1030).

To ensure our website performs well for all users, the SEC monitors the frequency of requests for SEC.gov content to ensure automated searches do not impact the ability of others to access SEC.gov content. We reserve the right to block IP addresses that submit excessive requests. Current guidelines limit users to a total of no more than 10 requests per second, regardless of the number of machines used to submit requests.

If a user or application submits more than 10 requests per second, further requests from the IP address(es) may be limited for a brief period. Once the rate of requests has dropped below the threshold for 10 minutes, the user may resume accessing content on SEC.gov. This SEC practice is designed to limit excessive automated searches on SEC.gov and is not intended or expected to impact individuals browsing the SEC.gov website.

Note that this policy may change as the SEC manages SEC.gov to ensure that the website performs efficiently and remains available to all users.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 5, 2026, VeriSign, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The Company is required to disclose annually the following non-guarantor subsidiary financial information pursuant to section 4.2(d) of the indentures governing the Company’s senior notes due 2027: As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries collectively had (1) liabilities (excluding intercompany liabilities) of $571.6 million (16.4% of the Company’s consolidated total liabilities), of which $450.0 million were deferred revenues, (2) assets (excluding intercompany assets) of $504.3 (38.0% of the Company’s consolidated total assets), of which $310.2 million were cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and (3) assets (excluding cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and intercompany assets) of $194.0 million (26.0% of the Company’s consolidated total assets, excluding cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities). For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries collectively had Adjusted EBITDA of $392.2 million (31.5% of the Company’s consolidated Adjusted EBITDA), which includes intercompany transactions with the Company. Such intercompany transactions represent the majority of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries’ aggregate expenses. Intercompany transactions and allocations of revenues and costs between the parent and the non-guarantor subsidiaries can vary significantly. Therefore, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries may not necessarily be meaningful. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated in accordance with the terms of the indentures governing the Company’s senior notes. Adjusted EBITDA refers to net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and unrealized gain/loss on hedging agreements. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA supplements the financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP by providing investors with additional information that allows them to have a clearer picture of the Company’s operations and financial performance and the comparability of the Company’s operating results from period to period. 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. The table below reconciles the Company’s consolidated Net Income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to the Company’s consolidated non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 6, 2025, VeriSign, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2024. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The Company is required to disclose annually the following non-guarantor subsidiary financial information pursuant to section 4.2(d) of the indentures governing the Company’s senior notes due 2025 and 2027: As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries collectively had (1) liabilities (excluding intercompany liabilities) of $509.0 million (15.1% of the Company’s consolidated total liabilities), of which $424.2 million were deferred revenues, (2) assets (excluding intercompany assets) of $640.0 million (45.5% of the Company’s consolidated total assets), of which $418.3 million were cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and (3) assets (excluding cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and intercompany assets) of $221.7 million (27.5% of the Company’s consolidated total assets, excluding cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities). For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries collectively had Adjusted EBITDA of $368.2 million (31.1% of the Company’s consolidated Adjusted EBITDA), which includes intercompany transactions with the Company. Such intercompany transactions represent the majority of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries’ aggregate expenses. Intercompany transactions and allocations of revenues and costs between the parent and the non-guarantor subsidiaries can vary significantly. Therefore, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries may not necessarily be meaningful. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated in accordance with the terms of the indentures governing the Company’s senior notes. Adjusted EBITDA refers to net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and unrealized gain/loss on hedging agreements. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA supplements the financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP by providing investors with additional information that allows them to have a clearer picture of the Company’s operations and financial performance and the comparability of the Company’s operating results from period to period. 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. The table below reconciles the Company’s consolidated Net Income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to the Company’s consolidated non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2024.

On February 8, 2024, VeriSign, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2023. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The Company is required to disclose annually the following non-guarantor subsidiary financial information pursuant to section 4.2(d) of the indentures governing the Company’s senior notes due 2025 and 2027: As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries collectively had (1) liabilities (excluding intercompany liabilities) of $467.0 million (14.0% of the Company’s consolidated total liabilities), of which $395.4 million were deferred revenues, (2) assets (excluding intercompany assets) of $800.1 million (45.8% of the Company’s consolidated total assets), of which $549.8 million were cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and (3) assets (excluding cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and intercompany assets) of $250.3 million (30.4% of the Company’s consolidated total assets, excluding cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities). For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries collectively had Adjusted EBITDA of $372.4 million (31.9% of the Company’s consolidated Adjusted EBITDA), which includes intercompany transactions with the Company. Such intercompany transactions represent the majority of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries’ aggregate expenses. Intercompany transactions and allocations of revenues and costs between the parent and the non-guarantor subsidiaries can vary significantly. Therefore, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries may not necessarily be meaningful. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated in accordance with the terms of the indentures governing the Company’s senior notes.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 9, 2023, VeriSign, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The Company is required to disclose annually the following non-guarantor subsidiary financial information pursuant to section 4.2(d) of the indentures governing the Company’s senior notes due 2025 and 2027: As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries collectively had (1) liabilities (excluding intercompany liabilities) of $454.8 million (13.8% of the Company’s consolidated total liabilities), of which $377.8 million were deferred revenues, (2) assets (excluding intercompany assets) of $710.5 million (41.0% of the Company’s consolidated total assets), of which $532.5 million were cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries and (3) assets (excluding cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and intercompany assets) of $178.0 million (23.6% of the Company’s consolidated total assets, excluding cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities). For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries collectively had Adjusted EBITDA of $324.4 million (30.6% of the Company’s consolidated Adjusted EBITDA), which includes intercompany transactions with the Company. Such intercompany transactions represent the majority of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries’ aggregate expenses. Intercompany transactions and allocations of revenues and costs between the parent and the non-guarantor subsidiaries can vary significantly. Therefore, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries may not necessarily be meaningful. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated in accordance with the terms of the indentures governing the Company’s senior notes. Adjusted EBITDA refers to net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and unrealized gain/loss on hedging agreements. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA supplements the financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP by providing investors with additional information that allows them to have a clearer picture of the Company’s operations and financial performance and the comparability of the Company’s operating results from period to period. 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. The table below reconciles the Company’s consolidated Net Income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), to the Company’s consolidated non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries collectively had Adjusted EBITDA of $295.9 million (30.5% of the Company’s consolidated Adjusted EBITDA), which includes intercompany transactions with the Company.

About VeriSign Inc. (VRSN) Earnings

This page provides VeriSign Inc. (VRSN) earnings call transcripts from SEC 8-K filings along with AI-powered predictions for post-earnings price movements. Our machine learning models analyze historical earnings data, pre-earnings price patterns, volume changes, and volatility to predict 1-day, 5-day, and 20-day returns after each earnings release.

Earnings transcripts are sourced directly from SEC EDGAR filings. Predictions are generated using gradient boosting models trained on VRSN's historical earnings reactions. All predicted returns are shown as percentages, and predicted prices are calculated from the closing price at the time of prediction. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
