REMARKS BY SHMUEL JONAS, CEO
"Our fourth quarter results were quite good.  We achieved our highest levels of consolidated quarterly margin contribution and Adjusted EBITDA* in over a decade.

"We experienced strong demand across all of our BOSS Revolution consumer offerings. In particular, our Money Transfer business built upon its strong organic growth by leveraging certain, favorable foreign exchange market conditions to deliver exceptional results this quarter.  These forex conditions are transient, however, and they began to normalize following the quarter close.

"The continued expansion of our higher margin Growth businesses and the resilience of our consumer Core offerings position IDT to deliver improving results and to create significant long-term value."

TPS Segment Takeaways:

  • BOSS Revolution Money Transfer revenue more than tripled in 4Q20 compared to the year ago quarter and more than doubled in FY20 compared to FY19. The quarterly increase was driven primarily by exceptionally favorable but transient foreign exchange market conditions as well as increased transaction volumes over the BR Money app.
  • NRS' revenue more than doubled compared to the year ago quarter driven by growth in its credit card processing business, advertising sales and terminal-based software service revenue. The number of POS terminals active in the network as of July 31, 2020 increased to 10,000 from 7,800 a year earlier.
  • In TPS' Core vertical, Mobile Top-Up growth accelerated in 4Q20 on increased demand for broadband connectivity and other bundled offerings. BOSS Revolution Calling reversed long-standing trends and grew revenue sequentially as minutes-of-use increased following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Carrier Services revenue also increased sequentially but continues to be impacted negatively by the pandemic as business communications shift from calling to video conferencing and other collaboration platforms.

net2phone Segment Takeaways:

  • net2phone-UCaaS subscription revenue increased 26% in 4Q20 to $8.0 million. For FY20, subscription revenue increased 40% to $30.0 million.

  • net2phone-UCaaS seats served increased 14,000 during 4Q20 and 51,000 seats during FY20 to 151,000 seats as of July 31, 2020. The rate of growth on a sequential basis remained relatively steady in the US. while slowing modestly in several high-growth Latin American markets.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the
Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal Years 2020 and 2019 and Explanation of Key Performance Metric

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 4Q20, 3Q20, 4Q19, and the full fiscal years 2020 and 2019, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, all of which are non-GAAP measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial 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 Adjusted EBITDA consists of revenue less direct cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expense. Another way of calculating Adjusted EBITDA is to start with income (loss) from operations, add depreciation and amortization, severance expense, and other operating expense, and deduct other operating gains.

IDT's measure of non-GAAP net income starts with net income in accordance with GAAP and adds severance expense, stock-based compensation, and other operating expense, net. 

IDT's measure of non-GAAP earnings per diluted share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by the diluted weighted-average shares.

These additions and subtractions are non-cash and/or non-routine items in the relevant fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 periods.

Management believes that IDT's Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share 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, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share 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, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share. 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, net, which is a component of income (loss) from operations, is excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share. Other operating expense, net includes accruals for non-income related taxes related to one of IDT's foreign entities, expense for the indemnification of a net2phone cable telephony customer related to patent infringement claims brought against the customer, legal fees related to Straight Path Communications Inc.'s stockholders' putative class action and derivative complaint, an accrual for another legal matter, and the write-off of certain assets. From time-to-time, IDT may incur costs related to non-routine legal and tax matters, and write-off assets, however, these various items generally do not occur each quarter. IDT does not believe the losses from these non-routine matters are components of IDT's or the relevant segment's core operating results.

The other calculation of Adjusted EBITDA consists of revenue less direct cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expense. As the other excluded items are not reflected in this calculation, they are excluded automatically and there is no need to make additional adjustments. This calculation results in the same Adjusted EBITDA amount and its utility and significance is as explained above.

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 net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share 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.

In 4Q20, due to continued and projected profitability in the Unites States, IDT was able to release a portion of its valuation allowance that was recorded against its U.S. deferred tax assets. This income tax benefit is excluded from IDT's non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS because it only indirectly related to the current results of IDT's core operations.

Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share 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, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Following are reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share 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, (b) for non-GAAP net income, net income, and (c) for non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, diluted earnings per share.

Revenue less direct cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is a financial metric that measures changes in our revenue relative to changes in direct cost of revenue during the same period. Revenue and direct cost of revenue in this metric are from IDT's consolidated statements of income in accordance with GAAP. Revenue less direct cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is a ratio in which revenue less direct cost of revenue is the numerator and revenue are the denominator. It is useful for monitoring trends in the generation of revenue as well as for evaluating the net contribution of our revenue.
