Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Calculation Of Net Income Per Share Attributable To Verisign Stockholders

Calculation of Earnings per Share

The following table presents the computation of weighted-average shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2018			2017			2016
	(In thousands)
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding	113,452			100,325			107,001
Weighted-average potential shares of common stock outstanding:
Conversion spread related to Subordinated Convertible Debentures	8,589			23,247			21,074
Unvested RSUs, and ESPP	620			608			758
Shares used to compute diluted earnings per share	122,661			124,180			128,833

The dilutive impact of the conversion spread related to the Subordinated Convertible Debentures is included in the calculation for 2018, on a weighted-average basis for the period prior to conversion. The calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, excludes potentially dilutive securities, the effect of which would have been anti-dilutive, as well as performance based RSUs granted by the Company for which the relevant performance criteria have not been achieved. The number of potential shares excluded from the calculation was not significant in any period presented.
