REMARKS BY SHMUEL JONAS, CEO

“Our results this quarter were highlighted by the continued expansion of our three high-growth, high-margin businesses, while our Traditional Communications segment performed as expected.

“At NRS, we have ramped up our investment to accelerate the growth of the NRS terminal and payment networks, and we delivered record quarterly increases in both net new terminals and net new NRS Pay accounts. With that tailwind, Merchant Services Q4 revenue increased 79% year-over-year. Advertising & Data revenue, while 40% below the year-ago peak, improved sequentially. Advertising & Data revenue increased 7% from the prior quarter and is on track for a larger sequential increase in the current quarter. NRS’ results also reflected our investment in growth initiatives, including the development of new features and functionalities that will help us expand our target market to new verticals within the independent retailer market during the coming year.

“At net2phone, subscription revenue increased 19% year over year, powered by the increase in seats served and an increase in average subscription revenue per seat in Latin America. Here too we are investing in initiatives to expand the business. In the coming quarters, we are preparing to roll out two exciting premium services – net2phone AI and Call Center Essentials – that we expect to enhance ARPU and margins across our markets.

“Within our Fintech segment, BOSS Money, our international remittance business, continued to benefit from the synergies between its retail and direct-to-consumer channels, and from our cross-marketing programs within the larger BOSS ecosystem. Also in our Fintech segment, we’ve begun enrolling customers in our new mobile banking app, Elroy. Elroy is replete with innovative features to help underbanked and unbanked customers integrate into the U.S. financial mainstream while appealing to anyone who despises bank fees but appreciates financial convenience, saving money, and earning interest.

“Within our Traditional Communications segment, we are working to further streamline the operations of our BOSS Revolution Calling and IDT Global businesses while pushing new initiatives to return our IDT Digital Payments business to growth.”

Adjusted EBITDA $18.6  $19.7  $20.5   (9)% $77.5  $85.5   (9)%


Take-Aways:

  • As in recent prior quarters, the year-over-year decrease in IDT Digital Payments revenue was due to the deterioration of a key international mobile top-up corridor.
  • Although BOSS Revolution Calling and IDT Global’s revenues were relatively unchanged sequentially, the industry-wide decline in the paid minute calling markets will continue to impact revenues and cash flows for the segment in the coming quarters.

NOTES ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Consolidated results for all periods presented include corporate overhead. Corporate G&A expense in 4Q23 increased to $2.6 million from $1.7 million in 4Q22 reflecting an increase in audit and accounting fees and higher employee compensation expense. For FY2023, those same factors as well as increased non-cash stock-based compensation expense drove an increase in corporate G&A to $9.3 million from $7.8 million in FY2022.

As of July 31, 2023, IDT held $152.2 million in cash, cash equivalents, debt securities, and current equity investments. Current assets totaled $387.1 million and current liabilities totaled $294.1 million. IDT had no outstanding debt at the fiscal year-end.

Net cash provided by operating activities during 4Q23 was $25.4 million compared to $16.1 million during 4Q22. Exclusive of changes in customer deposit balances at IDT’s Gibraltar-based bank, net cash provided by operating activities during 4Q23 was $27.1 million compared to $22.2 million during 4Q22. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the timing of operating cash receipts and payments.

Net cash provided by operating activities during FY2023 was $54.1 million compared to $29.4 million in FY2022. Exclusive of changes in customer deposit balances at IDT’s Gibraltar-based bank, net cash provided by operating activities during FY2023 was $58.3 million compared to $45.4 million during FY 2022.

Capital expenditures decreased to $5.9 million in 4Q23 from $8.1 million in 4Q22 and increased to $22.0 million in FY2023 from $21.9 million in FY2022.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the
Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal Years 2023 and 2022

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 4Q23, 3Q23, 4Q22, and the full fiscal years 2023 and 2022, 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 expense, and deducts other operating gains. These additions and subtractions are non-cash and/or non-routine items in the relevant fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 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, gains from the write-off of contingent consideration liabilities, legal fees net of insurance claims related to Straight Path Communications Inc.’s stockholders’ class action, and expense for the indemnification of a cable telephony customer related to a legal settlement. From time-to-time, IDT may have gains or incur costs related to non-routine legal 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.

*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.

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.

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 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.
