Discussion of Second Quarter Results
Consolidated revenue totaled $220.4 million, a 7% increase from $206.5 million in the second quarter of 2012. In particular:
Carrier Services revenue totaled $134.7 million, a 7% increase from $126.3 million in 2012. This increase was primarily due to a $7.4 million increase in NPAC Services revenue and a $2.9 million increase in Order Management Services revenue;
Enterprise Services revenue totaled $43.8 million, a 4% increase from $42.1 million in 2012. This increase was primarily due to higher revenue in Internet Infrastructure Services; and
Information Services revenue totaled $41.8 million, a 10% increase from $38.0 million in 2012. This increase was primarily due to higher revenue in Verification & Analytics Services.
Operating expense totaled $145.6 million, a 5% increase from $138.1 million in the second quarter of 2012. This increase was primarily due to additional personnel and personnel-related expense to support the expansion of the company’s operations, including increased stock-based compensation expense of $2.0 million driven by performance-based equity that was granted to a broader employee base.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $381.6 million as of June 30, 2013, compared to $378.2 million as of March 31, 2013 and compared to $343.9 million as of December 31, 2012.
