"The second quarter of 2011 continued to show strong revenue growth from our traditional businesses," stated T. Kendall Hunt, Chairman & CEO.  "Revenues in the second quarter of 2011 were the highest in the company's history, reflecting strong growth from the banking market partially offset by a decline in revenues from the enterprise and application security market.   We expect to report strong revenue growth for full-year 2011 over 2010.  We believe that our strong order intake, which includes a significant number of orders scheduled to ship and invoice in 2011 and beyond, is an important and concrete sign that our business is gaining momentum.  We also continued to invest in our DIGIPASS as a Service product line.  The addition of Google™ Apps to our platform was a significant addition and we continue to work on integrating other important SAAS applications into our platform."

"In addition to our strong order intake, we have a strong pipeline of potential new orders and we expect that we will experience continued strong revenue growth in the second half of the year, driven primarily by the performance of the banking sector," stated Jan Valcke, VASCO's President and COO. "We also believe that our non-banking business will improve as a result of programs designed to support our reseller channel and their efforts.  With the projected strong growth in revenues from the banking market in 2011, which includes high volume transactions with lower average selling prices, we expect our gross margins as a percentage of revenue will continue to be below the comparable quarters of 2010.  Looking forward, we believe that as the performance from our non-banking business improves and our services strategy gains traction, our gross margins will improve."

VeriSign to Sell Authentication Services Business to Symantec for $1.28 Billion

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwire) -- May 19, 2010 -- VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN) today announced a definitive agreement to sell its Authentication Services business to Symantec Corp. (NASDAQ: SYMC) for approximately $1.28 billion in cash. This business, which includes the industry-leading Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption certification services, the managed Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) platform and the company's ownership stake in VeriSign Japan, contributed approximately $101.9 million or 39 percent of VeriSign's revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 2010.


"This transaction allows VeriSign to focus on the growing Internet infrastructure services business, where we expect to build on our expertise and record of success as the longtime operator of the .com and .net domain infrastructures. Following the close of this transaction, VeriSign SSL  will have a strong balance sheet, growth opportunities and a continuing commitment to deliver value to our customers and shareholders," said Mark McLaughlin, VeriSign president and CEO. "The market for security and authentication services is rapidly changing in favor of large distribution channels, extensive product sets and integrated service delivery. We believe Symantec's leading position as the premier end-to-end security provider will enable them to better serve our authentication customers and accelerate market growth."


"For 15 years, VeriSign has pioneered the SSL Certificate and related authentication services business," said Jim Bidzos, VeriSign founder and executive chairman. "Today, Symantec is the best company to drive this business forward, and we believe this transaction will benefit our employees, customers and shareholders."


Transaction Details


The agreement provides that Symantec will acquire the assets of VeriSign's Authentication Services business, including its ownership stake in VeriSign Japan as well as certain brands and trademarks such as VeriSign's check mark.


Symantec has indicated that it expects to offer positions to most of VeriSign's authentication employees to support the business. VeriSign has agreed to support the business after the transaction's close by providing transitional services to Symantec. Following the close of the transaction, VeriSign expects to eliminate some positions that will not move to Symantec and that will not be required for its future operations.


The boards of both VeriSign and Symantec have unanimously approved this transaction, which is not subject to financing contingencies or shareholder approval. The transaction is expected to close in 60 to 90 days or upon receipt of regulatory approval.


Business Focus Post-Closing


Following the close of this transaction, VeriSign's remaining business will consist of its Naming Services business, which contributed approximately $162 million or 61 percent of the company's revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 2010.


"We will continue to focus on the growth strategies we've previously articulated for our domain name and infrastructure availability businesses," said McLaughlin. "These include leveraging our existing infrastructure capabilities for new services, expanding internationally and pursuing new top-level domain opportunities."
