Insights
The reported financials by IDT Corporation indicate a mixed performance for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024. The maintained GAAP EPS of $0.57 suggests stability in earnings, while the increase in Non-GAAP EPS from $0.62 to $0.67 reflects an improvement in operational efficiency, excluding one-time charges and other non-recurring events. This differentiation between GAAP and Non-GAAP results is crucial for investors to understand the underlying business performance.
The initiation of a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share could be seen as a positive signal to shareholders, indicating that the company's management is confident in its cash flow stability and its commitment to returning value. However, the relatively small dividend size in comparison to EPS might suggest a cautious approach, possibly reflecting uncertainty in future cash flows or a strategy to retain earnings for reinvestment.
Despite a decrease in consolidated revenue by 6%, the record increase in consolidated gross profit and margin expansion by 410 basis points to 32.9% is noteworthy. This implies that the company has been successful in improving its cost structure or selling higher-margin products and services. However, the decrease in consolidated Adjusted EBITDA by 7% raises questions about the sustainability of these margins and the operational costs involved.
The performance indicators in IDT Corporation's report reveal a nuanced picture of the company's market positioning. The significant growth in NRS recurring revenue by 30% and BOSS Money revenue by 42% is indicative of the company's strong foothold in the fintech and POS terminal markets. The addition of 1,500 net active POS terminals and a 37% increase in remittance volume highlight the company's expanding market reach and operational scale.
Meanwhile, the growth in net2phone's subscription revenue by 19% and the addition of 11,000 net seats suggest a robust demand for cloud communication services, which is a rapidly growing industry segment. These metrics are essential for investors to understand the company's growth drivers and the potential for future revenue streams.
However, the overall decrease in consolidated revenue alongside these growth figures may indicate competitive pressures or market saturation in certain segments. Investors should consider the company's strategic initiatives to counteract these challenges and the potential for international expansion or new product offerings to drive future growth.
From an economic perspective, the financial results of IDT Corporation can be seen as a reflection of broader macroeconomic trends. The fact that the company has managed to increase its gross profit amidst a revenue decline could suggest a strategic shift towards more profitable segments or cost-cutting measures that have been effective. This could be an adaptive response to economic conditions that favor efficiency over expansion.
The initiation of a dividend may also reflect a broader trend where companies are seeking to attract income-focused investors in a potentially low-interest-rate environment. This move, while conservative, could be a strategic allocation of capital that balances growth with shareholder returns.
It is also important to consider the impact of currency fluctuations, trade policies and global economic shifts on IDT's international operations, especially in the fintech and remittance sectors. These factors can significantly affect transaction volumes and profitability, thus influencing the company's financial health and stock performance.

REMARKS BY SHMUEL JONAS, CEO
“The second quarter was highlighted by the continued expansion of our growth businesses, with both NRS and BOSS Money surpassing the
“NRS continued to deliver robust recurring revenue per terminal. We again saw strong growth in Merchant Services and SaaS revenues, and increased Merchant Services revenue per NRS Pay account. We added approximately 1500 net new terminals to the NRS network this quarter.
“BOSS Money delivered another quarter of impressive results, with
“I am also very pleased with net2phone increasing subscription revenue
“The businesses within our Traditional Communications segment continue to generate strong cash-flow. Over the past few months, we have been very focused on reducing our overhead and on streamlining our operations within Traditional Communications and company-wide. You will see the benefits of these efforts in the third quarter and beyond.
“Now, I want to provide some context to our Board’s decision to initiate a quarterly cash dividend.
“NRS, BOSS Money and net2phone no longer need new cash investments to fund their organic growth. In aggregate, they have become significant contributors to our bottom line. Meanwhile, we expect cash flows from our Traditional Communications segment to remain robust for years to come. The strength of our operational results and of our balance sheet -- including our enhanced liquidity -- provides us with flexibility as we invest in the development of our next generation of exciting early-stage initiatives and scout for other growth opportunities.
“In light of our robust financial position and positive outlook, the Board felt that we should supplement our ongoing program of opportunistic stock buybacks, which can vary from quarter to quarter, with a regular, predictable dividend payment to our stockholders.”

- The
68% year-over-year increase in Merchant Services and other revenue reflects both the increases in payment processing accounts and merchant services revenue per payment processing account. - Monthly average recurring revenue per terminal** increased slightly year-over-year reflecting the increases in Merchant Services and other and SaaS Fees revenues per terminal.
net2phone

Take-Aways:
- Contact center as a service (CCaaS) seats served increased
23% year-over-year to approximately 11,000. - net2phone’s sequential and year-over-year increases in unified communications as a service (UCaaS) seats served were powered by continued expansion in key markets led by the U.S., Brazil, and Mexico.
- The
18.5% increase in subscription revenue was driven by an increase in seats served augmented by an increase in average recurring revenue per seat (ARPU). The ARPU increase reflects, in part, the faster rate of CCaaS seat expansion compared to UCaaS seats.

Take-Aways:
- The
37% year-over-year increase in BOSS Money transactions comprised a36% increase in digital transactions and a43% increase in retail transactions. The latter was driven by expansion of the BOSS Money retail agent network. - BOSS Money revenue increased
42% driven primarily by cross-marketing within the larger BOSS ecosystem, an expansion of the BOSS Money retailer network, and ongoing efforts to enhance user-experience within the BOSS Money and Boss Calling apps. - The continued growth of BOSS Money transaction volumes and improving unit economics drove the Fintech segment’s year-over-year and sequential improvements in loss from operations and Adjusted EBITDA.

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. By 1Q24, however, that corridor was no longer a significant factor in current results
- Traditional Communications revenue continued to decrease in line with expectations while the segment’s gross profits have been comparatively more durable.
- IDT continues to streamline the operations of its Boss Revolution and IDT Global businesses and expects this effort will drive reductions in SG&A in the coming quarters.

*Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the
Second 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 2Q24, 1Q24, 4Q23, 3Q23, and 2Q23 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 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.

**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.
