REMARKS BY SHMUEL JONAS, CEO OF IDT CORPORATION

 

“The fourth quarter overall was consistent with recent trends, but our top and bottom lines were positively impacted by the growth in our early stage businesses. The resilience in many of our core offerings also collectively increased profitability despite facing industry-wide headwinds for paid voice minutes.

 

 

 

 

“Following the quarter close, net2phone took a big leap forward with the launch of a new technology platform – net2phone 2.0. The new platform is built on an internally developed, proprietary stack instead of a third-party platform. It incorporates many of the groundbreaking technologies that we pioneered at IDT and net2phone over the past 25 years as well as those we attained with the Live Ninja acquisition. We expect to integrate additional disruptive technologies including those obtained through the HD Messaging and Versature acquisitions in the near term.

 

“The need for additional capital to invest in our growth initiatives as they scale and the current low valuation of the company prompted IDT’s Board of Directors to discontinue our quarterly dividend and execute a stock buyback program. The Board determined, and I agree, that we can more effectively enhance long-term shareholder value by using the cash generated by our core offerings to increase investment in our early stage initiatives while retaining the flexibility to return value to shareholders through stock repurchases when warranted by market conditions, available resources, and our business outlook and results.

 

“Over the past three months, we have bought back 1.1 million shares of our Class B Common stock in the open market for $5.8 million.”

Retail Communications: IDT’s flagship BOSS Revolution® calling service – which accounted for over 90% of Retail Communications’ revenue in 4Q18 and full fiscal year 2018- continued to be negatively impacted by persistent, market-wide trends including the proliferation of unlimited calling plans offered by wireless carriers and MVNOs, increasing penetration of free and paid over-the-top voice and messaging services and decreased immigration into the U.S. Revenue from other Retail Communications offerings, including the sale of traditional ‘hard’ prepaid calling cards in the U.S. and overseas, continued to decline in line with expectations.

 

Wholesale Carrier Services: Wholesale Carrier Services’ revenue decreased compared to the year ago quarter largely as a result of diminished volumes on certain heavily trafficked, low margin-per-minute routes. For the full fiscal year, Wholesale Carrier Services revenue increased as the business gained market share. Wholesale Carrier Services’ operations are managed to maximize the TPS segment’s gross profit. Revenues in this vertical have historically been more volatile than in Retail Communications, and changes in revenue do not necessarily generate corresponding changes in profitability.

 

Payment Services: Payment Services’ revenue increased year-over-year primarily reflecting growth in mobile top-up sales, which comprised nearly 90% of Payment Services’ revenue in 4Q18 and full fiscal year 2018. Sales generated by the BOSS Revolution money transfer service - primarily from its direct-to-consumer offering (app and web) - and from NRS’ point of sale (POS) terminal-based services also increased.

 

TPS’ direct cost of revenue in 4Q18, expressed as a percentage of TPS’ revenue, decreased to 84.1% from 86.5% in 4Q17, and to 85.7% in FY 2018 from 86.0% in FY 2017.

 

TPS’ SG&A expense in 4Q18 - $42.7 million – increased 0.5% from the year ago quarter. TPS’ full fiscal year SG&A expense increased 3.4% to $170.1 million primarily due to higher employee compensation costs and credit card charges, partially offset by a decrease in marketing expense. TPS’ SG&A expense expressed as a percentage of revenue increased 10 basis points to 11.1% in 4Q18 compared to the year ago quarter. For FY 2018, TPS’ SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue also increased 10 basis points to 11.3% compared to the prior year.

 

TPS’ income from operations increased to $13.8 million in 4Q18 from $5.8 million in 4Q17. TPS’ FY 2018 income from operations was $25.8 million, including severance expense of $4.5 million, compared to income from operations of $25.5 million in FY 2017 when no severance expense was incurred. The increases were primarily attributable to the net $5.0 million increase in income from operations in 4Q18 resulting from the changes in accounting estimates discussed above.

TPS’ Adjusted EBITDA increased to $18.2 million in 4Q18 from $9.7 million in 4Q17. TPS’s FY 2018 Adjusted EBITDA increased to $46.7 million from $41.7 million in FY 2017.

 

net2phone - Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS)

The net2phone - UCaaS segment is comprised of offerings from IDT’s net2phone division, including its cloud communications and SIP trunking offerings for businesses and its cable telephony service.

 

net2phone - UCaaS’ 4Q18 revenue increased to $9.7 million from $7.8 million in 4Q17. net2phone - UCaaS’ FY 2018 revenue increased to $34.9 million from $29.4 million in FY 2017. The quarterly and full year revenue growth was driven predominantly by sales of net2phone’s cloud-based communications offering, which increased by over 150% compared to the year ago quarter and prior year. Less than two years ago, net2phone launched an international expansion program by introducing service in Brazil and Argentina. With the acquisition of Versature, and the launch in Mexico following the quarter close, net2phone now operates throughout North America as well as in certain South American, Asian and European countries.

 

net2phone - UCaaS’ loss from operations in 4Q17 narrowed to $445 thousand from $771 thousand in 4Q17. net2phone - UCaaS’ loss from operations in FY 2018 increased to $2.7 million from $1.9 million in FY 2017. The increase in the full year loss primarily was driven by increased employee compensation costs and commission expense reflecting increased investment in net2phone sales and technical personnel, as well as increased depreciation and amortization expense.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2018 and 2017

 

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 4Q18, 3Q18 and 4Q17, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share, 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 revenues 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, other operating losses, and the adjustment to the gain on the sale of member interest in Visa Europe Ltd., and subtract 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, other operating losses, the adjustment to the gain on the sale of member interest in Visa Europe Ltd., and income tax expense from the increase in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and subtracts the income tax benefits from The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a release of the valuation allowance and full recognition of deferred tax assets, and other operating gains.

 

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

 

These additions and subtractions are non-cash and/or non-routine items in the relevant fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 periods.

 

Management believes that IDT’s Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share measures 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 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 at this time.

 

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 constructed 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 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 losses, other operating gains, and the adjustment to the gain on the sale of member interest in Visa Europe Ltd. are components of income (loss) from operations. In fiscal 2018, other operating losses included legal fees related to Straight Path Communications Inc.’s stockholders’ putative class action and derivative complaint, fees related to other legal matters, and other losses. In fiscal 2017, other operating losses included a non-routine expense for the settlement and mutual release, and the associated legal fees, related to potential liabilities and claims under agreements related to the Straight Path spin-off. In 4Q17, the other operating gain was primarily the result of insurance proceeds related to the claims. Other operating losses, other operating gains, and the adjustment to the gain on the sale of member interest in Visa Europe Ltd. are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share. From time-to-time, IDT may incur costs related to non-routine legal and regulatory matters or disposal of certain assets. However, such legal and regulatory matters and disposals do not occur each quarter. IDT does not believe the gains or losses from non-routine legal and regulatory matters or asset sales are components of IDT’s or the relevant segment’s core operating results.

 

 9 

 

 

The other calculation of Adjusted EBITDA consists of revenues 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 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 2Q18, IDT recorded an income tax benefit of $3.3 million for its anticipated AMT credit refund due to The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017. In 1Q17, IDT recorded a foreign income tax benefit of $16.6 million from the release of the valuation allowance and full recognition of certain deferred tax assets, and in 4Q17, IDT recorded a federal income tax expense of $11.1 million from the increase in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The income tax benefits and expense are excluded from IDT’s calculation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share because they were not directly related to the current results of IDT’s core operations.

 

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

 

Beginning in the 3Q18, All Other includes only IDT’s real estate holdings and other investments that were included in the Rafael Holdings spin-off. Other smaller businesses that were previously included in All Other have been reclassified to Telecom & Payment Services, and certain other cost centers have been reclassified to Corporate. Comparative results have been reclassified and restated as if these businesses and costs were included in Telecom & Payment Services or Corporate in all periods presented.

 

Following are reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per 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 (loss) for IDT on a consolidated basis, (b) for non-GAAP net income, net income (loss), and (c) for non-GAAP earnings per share, basic and diluted earnings per share.
