REMARKS BY SHMUEL JONAS, CEO
“IDT continued to deliver strong results reflecting the sustained execution on our strategic priorities and the robust operating performances of our businesses. As a result, our top and bottom lines increased appreciably compared to the year ago and prior quarters – even excluding the positive impacts of the reversal of income tax valuation allowances and gains on investments.
“Our high growth, high margin businesses once again performed extremely well. net2phone recorded subscription revenue growth of 39% year over year. On our development roadmap, we continued to focus on API third party integrations. net2phone now offers integrations with Salesforce, Zoho, PurpleCloud, Slack, Zapier and Microsoft Teams, among others. Our growing integration toolkit enhances our access to new segments across both domestic and international markets.
“NRS accelerated its impressive revenue growth increasing revenue by over 120% year over year led by payment processing services and digital advertising services.
“Our BOSS Revolution International Money Transfer business remains strong, with 63% revenue growth year over year after excluding the significant, positive impacts of the transient FX opportunities we successfully pursued during the year ago quarter, but which finally and completely ceased in the second quarter.
“In our traditional communications segment, revenue jumped by $35.4 million compared to the previous quarter, underscoring the vigor of these offerings for cash generation over the long term.”

Fintech
Fintech comprises National Retail Solutions (NRS), an operator of a nationwide Point-Of-Sale (POS) retail network providing payment processing, digital advertising, transaction data and ancillary services, and BOSS Revolution Money Transfer, a provider of international money remittances.
The Fintech segment accounted for 4.5% and 4.6% of IDT’s consolidated revenue and 14.5% and 15.4% of IDT’s consolidated revenue-less-direct-cost-of-revenue in 3Q21 and 3Q20, respectively.
Fintech Takeaways:
● | National Retail Solutions (NRS) revenue increased 123% to $6.4 million from $2.9 million, driven by increased sales of payment processing services and digital-out-of-home (DOOH) advertising. |
● | NRS had approximately 13,100 active terminals at April 30, 2021, an increase of 49% compared to a year earlier. Active POS terminal counts at end of period for recent fiscal quarters were approximately: 3Q20 – 8,800; 4Q20 – 10,000; 1Q21 – 11,100; 2Q21 – 12,000; 3Q21 – 13,100. |
● | NRS continues to expand its market reach with new offerings for independent retailers. NRS launched a partnership enabling its retailers to drop ship and receive their customers’ e-commerce packages during the quarter, while its NRS Petro and cash advance offerings have found early traction. |
● | BOSS Revolution Money Transfer increased transactions 35% to 1.9 million from 1.4 million. |
● | Money Transfer revenue decreased 13.2% to $10.3 million from $11.8 million but increased 63% when excluding the impact of the previously disclosed FX market conditions that positively and materially affected revenue and transactions during most of calendar 2020 but which had ceased by the end of fiscal 2Q21. |
net2phone-UCaaS
The net2phone-UCaaS segment accounted for 3.0% and 2.5% of IDT’s consolidated revenue and 12.7% and 10.4% of IDT’s consolidated revenue-less-direct-cost-of-revenue in 3Q21 and 3Q20, respectively.
net2phone-UCaaS Takeaways:
● | Subscription revenue increased 39% to $10.7 million from $7.7 million. The Latin American growth rate outpaced those of the US, Canada and Spain. |

Traditional Communications Takeaways:
● | Traditional Communications’ revenue increased 16% to $345.9 million from $298.5 million. |
● | Mobile Top-Up revenue increased 56% to $132.6 million from $85.1 million. The surge in Mobile Top-Up sales, which also increased 37% sequentially, primarily resulted from product expansion and continued growth across all of our distribution channels. |
● | BOSS Revolution Calling revenue decreased 1% to $111.4 million from $112.5 million. Minutes of use decreased by 8% but was substantially offset by changes in destination mix. |
● | Carrier Services revenue increased 1% to $88.6 million from $87.4 million. |
● | Traditional Communications’ Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures increased to $20.8 million from $12.1 million reflecting the quarter’s robust top line growth while focused cost management reduced SG&A expense. |

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the
Third Quarter Fiscal 2021 and 2020
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 3Q21, 2Q21, and 3Q20, 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 (loss) in accordance with GAAP and adds severance expense, stock-based compensation, and other operating expense, and deducts the release of valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and other operating gains.
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 2021 and fiscal 2020 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 (loss), 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 gain (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 gain (expense), net includes a gain from the sale of IDT’s rights under a class action lawsuit, expense for the indemnification of a net2phone cable telephony customer related to patent infringement claims brought against the customer, legal fees net of insurance claims related to Straight Path Communications Inc.’s stockholders’ putative class action and derivative complaint, and expense for other legal matters. From time-to-time, IDT may have gains or incur costs related to non-routine legal and tax 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.
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 3Q21, due to continued and projected profitability, IDT was able to release a portion of its valuation allowance that was recorded against its 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 (loss), 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.

Explanation of Key Performance Metrics
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 operations 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 IDT’s revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX is also a financial metric, which is calculated by deriving Adjusted EBITDA as described above and subtracting capital expenditures in accordance with GAAP as reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX to evaluate the level of capital investment needed to support operations, and as a reasonable proxy for the cash generated by IDT’s businesses. Because IDT’s capital expenditures reflect an allocation of capital for longer term growth, IDT seeks to strike an appropriate balance between near-term and long-term financial performance as reflected in Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX. IDT’s measurement of Adjusted EBITDA less CAPEX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
