REMARKS BY SHMUEL JONAS, CEO
“For the third quarter of our 2023 fiscal year, IDT generated year-over-year increases in gross profit, Adjusted EBITDA, and EPS highlighted by the continued expansion of our three high growth, high-margin businesses and by the relatively resilient cash-flows from our Traditional Communications segment, even as revenue from this segment continued to decline.
“NRS added new POS terminals and payment processing accounts at a record pace this quarter, and achieved solid year-over-year increases in all three of its recurring revenue verticals as well as in recurring revenue per terminal. Advertising revenue decreased sequentially due to seasonal reductions in demand and the advertising industry’s pull-back – particularly in the digital out-of-home segment. Behind the scenes, we are enhancing our advertising platform and diversifying our network partnerships to pursue new opportunities both within and outside of the digital out-of-home market. This foundational work should pay off when advertising demand rebounds. Given our success in accelerating the pace of new payment processing account sign-ups, increasing merchant services’ ARPU, and bringing new premium features to our platform, we expect that NRS will continue to perform extremely well.
“net2phone increased its subscription revenue by 20% year-over-year while approaching cash-flow break-even. In the coming weeks, we expect to launch exciting new offerings and features that will help to build on our momentum, including net2phone AI, which includes powerful analytic tools powered by artificial intelligence technology.
“At BOSS Money, remittance volume increased by 38% year over year driving a 29% revenue increase. I am especially pleased by the robust growth of BOSS Money’s retail channel over the past few quarters. Throughout the rest of the BOSS ecosystem – the synergies between retail and direct-to-consumer drive better economics than we could achieve with a single-channel approach. We believe that the same will be true for the money remittance business. For that reason, we continue to focus on retail channel expansion as we invest to achieve scale and long-term profitability.
“With our diverse mix of businesses, backed by a solid balance sheet and with no debt, IDT is positioned to continue delivering solid results across a wide variety of economic conditions while returning value to our stockholders.”

- The year-over-year decrease in BOSS Money’s average revenue per transaction was due to unusually favorable, but temporary, foreign exchange spread opportunities in certain corridors in the year-ago quarter.

| Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 19.7 | $ | 19.6 | $ | 20.0 | (2 | )% | ||||||||
Take–Aways:
- As in the prior quarter, the year-over-year decrease in IDT Digital Payments revenue was due to the deterioration of a key international mobile top-up corridor that was particularly impactful to sales in the lower margin wholesale and retail channels.
- The decreases in BOSS Revolution Calling and IDT Global’s carrier services revenues reflected the long-standing industry-wide decline in the paid minute calling markets and were in-line with expectations.
- During 3Q23, IDT Digital Payments launched Zendit, a cloud-based, prepaid-as-a-service platform enabling businesses to easily and quickly add a curated menu of airtime top-ups and other cross-border prepaid offerings to their apps and websites. Subsequently, the Zendit team has formed new strategic alliances globally, expanded its catalog to over 15,000 digital offerings, and onboarded its initial customers.
- Income from operations decreased mostly due to the impact of a $3.9 million charge resulting from the settlement of an indemnification claim resulting from a legal settlement.
NOTES ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Consolidated results for all periods presented include corporate overhead. Corporate G&A expense in 3Q23 increased to $2.3 million from $1.8 million in 3Q22 reflecting higher employee compensation and stock-based compensation expense.
As of April 30, 2023, IDT held $138.5 million in cash, cash equivalents, debt securities, and current equity investments. Current assets totaled $390.0 million and current liabilities totaled $301.7 million. IDT had no outstanding debt at quarter end.
Net cash used in operating activities during 3Q23 was $6.9 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1.6 million during 3Q22. Exclusive of changes in customer deposit balances at IDT’s Gibraltar-based bank, net cash used in operating activities during 3Q23 was $4.3 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $9.6 million during 3Q22. The decline in operating cash generation is due almost entirely to the timing of certain working capital movements.
Capital expenditures increased to $5.5 million in 3Q23 from $4.8 million in 3Q22.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the
Third Quarter Fiscal 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 3Q23, 2Q23, and 3Q22, 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 gain (expense), net, which is a component of income (loss) from operations, is excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS. Other operating gain (expense), net primarily includes gains from the write-off of a 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 net2phone 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. Monthly Average Recurring Revenue per Terminal is useful for comparisons of NRS’ 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 are strong indications of the top-line growth and performance of the business.
