This excerpt taken from the VRSN 10-Q filed May 8, 2009.

Our operating results may fluctuate and our future revenues and profitability are uncertain.

Our operating results have varied in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control. These factors include the following:

 

  •  

the uncertainties, costs and risks related to our proposed divestiture plan, including any income statement charges we incur in connection therewith and any further delays we may encounter;

 

  •  

the current global economic environment as well as its impact on e-commerce, financial services, and the telecommunications and Internet industries;

 

  •  

the long sales and implementation cycles for, and potentially large order sizes of, some of our security services and the timing and execution of individual customer contracts;

 

  •  

volume of new domain name registrations and customer renewals in our Naming Services business;

 

  •  

changes in the payment structures of on-line advertising network providers and compensation levels, as well as policies proposed and implemented by ICANN, which could impact the number of domain name registrations;

 

  •  

the mix of all our services sold during a period;

 

  •  

our success in marketing and market acceptance of our services by our existing customers and by new customers;

 

  •  

changes in marketing expenses related to promoting and distributing our services;

 

  •  

customer renewal rates and turnover of customers of our services;

 

  •  

potential attacks by hackers, which could threaten the perceived reliability of our products and services;

 

  •  

continued development of our direct and indirect distribution channels for our products and services, both in the U.S. and abroad;

 

  •  

changes in the level of spending for information technology-related products and services by enterprise customers;

 

  •  

the impact of price changes in our products and services or our competitors’ products and services; and

 

  •  

the impact of decisions by channel partners and resellers to offer competing products or modify their marketing practices.

Our operating expenses may increase. If an increase in our expenses is not accompanied by a corresponding increase in our revenues, our operating results will suffer, particularly as revenues from some of our services are recognized ratably over the term of the service, rather than immediately when the customer pays for them, unlike our sales and marketing expenditures, which are expensed in full when incurred.

Due to all of the above factors, our revenues and operating results are difficult to forecast. Therefore, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results will not necessarily be meaningful, and you should not rely upon them as an indication of future performance. Also, operating results may fall below our expectations and the expectations of securities analysts or investors in one or more future periods. If this were to occur, the market price of our common stock would likely decline.
