HIGHLIGHTS

(Throughout this release, unless otherwise noted, results are for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 (3Q24) and are compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 (3Q23). All earnings per share (EPS) and other ‘per share’ results are per diluted share. For 3Q24 and all prior periods presented, IDT reclassified most of its technology and development expenses from SG&A expense to a new “Technology and development” expense line item and reclassified a small portion to “Direct cost of revenues.”)

 National Retail Solutions (NRS) added approximately 1,600 net active point-of-sale (POS) terminals during 3Q24, to reach approximately 30,300 as of April 30th. NRS recurring revenue increased 45% year-over-year to $24.0 million;
 BOSS Money, the principal business in IDT’s Fintech segment, increased revenue 42% to $27.6 million, while increasing remittance transactions by 44% to 4.7 million;

 Consolidated revenue of $299.6 million compared to $299.3 million;
 Consolidated gross profit increased 11% to a record $97.0 million from $87.6 million, and the consolidated gross profit margin increased 310 basis points to 32.4% from 29.3%;
 Consolidated income from operations increased to $11.4 million from $10.4 million;
 Net income attributable to IDT decreased to $5.6 million from $6.9 million, primarily due to an increase in the effective income tax rate in 3Q24 and to certain foreign currency transaction losses realized;
 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA increased to $20.6 million from $20.5 million;
 GAAP EPS decreased to $0.22 from $0.27. Non-GAAP EPS** decreased to $0.38 from $0.46 as a result of the decrease in net income attributable to IDT;

REMARKS BY SHMUEL JONAS, CEO

“IDT’s three high-growth, high-margin businesses again delivered strong results in the third quarter, contributing to a 310-basis point improvement in our consolidated gross margin. NRS has surpassed the 30 thousand active terminal milestone, making it the largest POS network for C-stores in the country. At net2phone, Adjusted EBITDA doubled year-over-year in the current quarter, as the business continues to scale and improve its operating leverage. And at BOSS Money, our balanced, omni-channel approach to customer acquisition and focus on customer service and user experience drove another quarter of strong revenue increases, helping the Fintech segment to its first Adjusted EBITDA positive quarter.

“Looking ahead, we are very excited by the potential of each of these three businesses for sustainable, profitable growth. In our Traditional Communications segment, we are making progress turning around our IDT Digital Payments business and expect its bottom-line results will continue to improve.”

Adjusted EBITDA $5.6  $6.1  $6.2  $2.4  $2.7   +$2.9 


Take-Aways:

 During 3Q24, NRS added approximately 1,600 net active terminals and approximately 1,300 net payment processing accounts. NRS continues to incentivize new and existing retailers to utilize its native payment processing solution, NRS Pay.
 The strong year-over-year increases in both Merchant Services and in SaaS Fees revenues reflects the continued, robust growth in active POS terminals and payment processing accounts, as well as increased sales of higher revenue payment processing and software plans.
 The year-over-year revenue increase in advertising sales, which comprises most of Advertising & Data revenue, resulted from steady growth stemming from both programmatic and direct sales channel enhancements. The sequential quarterly decline was in line with expected seasonal factors characteristic of the advertising industry.
 The year-over-year increase in monthly average recurring revenue per terminal was impacted mostly by the strong increases in Merchant Services and SaaS Fees revenues per terminal.
   

net2phone

During 3Q24 and 3Q23, the net2phone segment contributed 6.9% and 6.2% of IDT’s consolidated revenue, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA $2.1  $1.8  $1.4  $0.9  $1.0   +$1.1  


Take-Aways:

 net2phone’s year-over-year increases in seats were powered by expansion in key markets led by the U.S., Brazil, and Mexico.
 net2phone’s combined SG&A expense and technology and development cost as a percentage of its total revenue decreased to 77% from 81% in the year ago quarter, as it continues to achieve higher levels of operating leverage as the business scales.
   

Fintech

During 3Q24 and 3Q23, the Fintech segment contributed 10.5% and 7.3% of IDT’s consolidated revenue, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA $0.2  $0.0  $(0.7) $(1.2) $(0.6)  +$0.9  


Take-Aways:

 The 44% year-over-year increase in BOSS Money transactions comprised a 43% increase in digital transactions via the BOSS Money and BOSS Calling apps, and a 49% increase in retail transactions. The latter was driven primarily by expansion of the BOSS Money retail agent network.
 BOSS Money revenue increased 42% as a result of transactions growth, driven by cross-marketing within the larger BOSS ecosystem, the expansion of the BOSS Money retailer network, and enhanced user-experience within the BOSS Money and Boss Calling apps.
 The Fintech segment generated positive Adjusted EBITDA for the first time, primarily as a result of the continued growth in BOSS Money transactions, revenue, and gross profit.
   

Traditional Communications

During 3Q24 and 3Q23, the Traditional Communications segment contributed 74.0% and 80.5% of IDT’s consolidated revenue, respectively.

Take-Away:

Explanation of Key Performance Metrics

NRS’ recurring revenue is NRS’ revenue in accordance with GAAP excluding revenue from POS terminal sales. NRS’ Monthly Average Recurring Revenue per Terminal is a financial metric. Monthly Average Recurring Revenue per Terminal is calculated by dividing NRS’ recurring revenue by the average number of active POS terminals during the period. The average number of active POS terminals is calculated by adding the beginning and ending number of active POS terminals during the period and dividing by two. NRS’ recurring revenue divided by the average number of active POS terminals is divided by three when the period is a fiscal quarter. Recurring revenue and Monthly Average Recurring Revenue per Terminal are useful for comparisons of NRS’ revenue and revenue per customer to prior periods and to competitors and others in the market, as well as for forecasting future revenue from the customer base.

net2phone’s subscription revenue is its revenue in accordance with GAAP excluding its equipment revenue and revenue generated by a legacy SIP trunking offering in Brazil. net2phone’s cloud communications and contact center offerings are priced on a per-seat basis, with customers paying based on the number of users in their organization. The number of seats served and subscription revenue trends and comparisons between periods are used in the analysis of net2phone’s revenues and direct cost of revenues and are strong indications of the top-line growth and performance of the business.

BOSS Money’s Average Revenue per Transaction is also a financial metric. Average Revenue per Transaction is calculated by dividing BOSS Money’s revenue in accordance with GAAP by the number of transactions during the period. Average Revenue per Transaction is useful for comparisons of BOSS Money’s revenue per transaction to prior periods and to competitors and others in the market, as well as for forecasting future revenue based on transaction trends.

**Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 and 2023

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), IDT also disclosed for 3Q24, 2Q24, 1Q24, 4Q23, and 3Q23 Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share (EPS), both of which are non-GAAP measures.

Generally, a non-GAAP measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

IDT’s measure of non-GAAP EPS is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by the diluted weighted-average shares. IDT’s measure of non-GAAP net income starts with net income attributable to IDT in accordance with GAAP and adds severance expense, stock-based compensation, and other operating expenses, and deducts other operating gains. These additions and subtractions are non-cash and/or non-routine items in the relevant fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 periods.

Management believes that IDT’s Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS are measures which provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses and non-routine gains and losses that may not be indicative of IDT’s or the relevant segment’s core operating results. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, among other measures, as a relevant indicator of core operational strengths in its financial and operational decision making. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS to evaluate operating performance in relation to IDT’s competitors. Disclosure of these financial measures may be useful to investors in evaluating performance and allows for greater transparency to the underlying supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. In addition, IDT has historically reported similar financial measures and believes such measures are commonly used by readers of financial information in assessing performance, therefore the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in financial reporting. 

Management refers to Adjusted EBITDA, as well as the GAAP measures income (loss) from operations and net income, on a segment and/or consolidated level to facilitate internal and external comparisons to the segments’ and IDT’s historical operating results, in making operating decisions, for budget and planning purposes, and to form the basis upon which management is compensated.

While depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under GAAP, these expenses primarily represent the non-cash current period allocation of costs associated with long-lived assets acquired or capitalized in prior periods. IDT’s Adjusted EBITDA, which is exclusive of depreciation and amortization, is a useful indicator of its current performance.

Severance expense is excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS. Severance expense is reflective of decisions made by management in each period regarding the aspects of IDT’s and its segments’ businesses to be focused on in light of changing market realities and other factors. While there may be similar charges in other periods, the nature and magnitude of these charges can fluctuate markedly and do not reflect the performance of IDT’s core and continuing operations.

Other operating (expense) gain, net, which is a component of income (loss) from operations, is excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS. Other operating (expense) gain, net includes, among other items, legal fees net of insurance claims related to Straight Path Communications Inc.’s stockholders’ class action, gains from the write-off of contingent consideration liabilities, gain from the sale of state income tax credits, and fixed asset write-offs. From time-to-time, IDT may have gains or incur costs related to non-routine legal, tax, and other matters, however, these various items generally do not occur each quarter. IDT believes the gain and losses from these non-routine matters are not components of IDT’s or the relevant segment’s core operating results.

Stock-based compensation recognized by IDT and other companies may not be comparable because of the variety of types of awards as well as the various valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions that are permitted under GAAP. Stock-based compensation is excluded from IDT’s calculation of non-GAAP EPS because management believes this allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons of the operating results per share of IDT’s core business with the results of other companies. However, stock-based compensation will continue to be a significant expense for IDT for the foreseeable future and an important part of employees’ compensation that impacts their performance.

Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, income (loss) from operations, cash flow from operating activities, net income, basic and diluted earnings per share or other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, IDT’s measurements of Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Following are reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which are, (a) for Adjusted EBITDA, income (loss) from operations for IDT’s reportable segments and net income for IDT on a consolidated basis, and (b) for non-GAAP EPS, diluted earnings per share.
