NEWARK, N.J. — June 10, 2004 —IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT, IDT.C) today reported record revenues of $565.7 million for the third quarter of its Fiscal Year 2004, the three months ended April 30, 2004. Revenues for the third quarter increased 7.3% from the prior quarter and 24.4% year-over-year.

 

Gross profits for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2004 were $136.9 million, or 24.2% of revenues, as compared to gross profits of $130.9 million, or 24.8% of revenues last quarter, and gross profits of $107.8 million, or 23.7% of revenues, in the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2003. SG&A expenses in the quarter increased to 23.3% of revenues, compared with 22.0% in the preceding quarter and 23.1% in the year-ago period. On May 12, 2004, the Company announced a reorganization of its Winstar/IDT Solutions division and a reutilization plan for the Winstar assets. The Company recorded restructuring and impairment charges of $39.9 million in the quarter, of which $28.1 million related to the reorganization of Winstar/IDT Solutions and $10.4 million related to undersea fiber that Tycom was to deliver to IDT in connection with the settlement of a litigation, but failed to do.

 

The loss from operations for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2004 was $58.4 million, compared to losses from operations of $16.2 million and $37.9 million for the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2004 and the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2003, respectively. The net loss for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2004 was $76.8 million, or ($0.84) per share, as compared to a net loss of $9.3 million, or ($0.12) per share, in the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2003.

 

Cash balances and marketable securities stood at $1.045 billion, including $136.8 million held by Net2Phone, as of the close of the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2004.

“In this reporting period IDT made significant progress,” said Jim Courter, CEO. “As Einstein said, ‘Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.’ We are investing in our telecom business and taking the hard steps that will end the cash burn at Winstar. As we go forward, our bottom line, which does count, will ‘count up’ nicely.”

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

IDT Telecom Division

 

IDT Telecom revenues for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2004 increased 17.8% year-over-year and 4.6% sequentially. The third quarter of Fiscal Year 2004 represented the eleventh consecutive quarter of revenue growth and positive operating income. Gross margins were 23.6%, a 50 basis point improvement over the second quarter and 90 basis points higher than in last year’s third quarter.


Income from operations increased 15.4% year-over-year and declined 15.4% from the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2004. The sequential decrease in operating earnings is due to an increase in SG&A expenses, primarily representing advertising and other costs related to the continued roll-out of the America Unlimited local/long distance calling plan. These efforts included the introduction of service into new states, as well as increased penetration of existing markets.

 

IDT Telecom minutes of use for the third quarter were approximately 5.0 billion minutes, an increase of 18.6% year-over-year and 1.3% sequentially.

IDT Retail Telecom

 

IDT Retail Telecom revenues for the third quarter increased 14.5% year-over-year, and 4.3% from the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2004. Income from operations for the third quarter increased 4.0% year-over-year but declined 10.8% sequentially.

 

  The calling card business introduced several aggressively priced cards in nearly all of its major markets during the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2004. Results for the third quarter reflect little of the revenue potential of these new card launches. As a result, calling card gross margins declined 1.1% from their second quarter level, but remained 1.0% higher than during last year’s third quarter. Revenues also declined 2.6% sequentially, primarily a lagged effect of the price increases in the prior quarter. Strong revenue growth resumed early in the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter, with minutes-of-use and revenues reaching record monthly levels during May, driven primarily by these newly launched cards.

 

  Consumer phone services generated revenues of $65.4 million in the third quarter, up from $43.8 million in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2004 and $39.0 million in the year-ago period. The customer base for America Unlimited, the IDT calling plan which features unlimited local and long distance calling within the U.S. for a fixed monthly fee, grew to 224,000 by the end of the third quarter. The service is now offered in 12 states. We anticipate initiating service in California during the fourth quarter. In addition, the Company had 451,000 long distance-only customers at the end of the third quarter.

 

  Retail gross margins improved 90 basis points sequentially and 2.2% year-over-year, primarily because of the increasing importance of consumer phone service in the product mix. Retail Telecom SG&A expenses increased 15.1% sequentially and 31.3% year-over-year, largely due to advertising expenses for the America Unlimited calling plan. During the quarter, IDT Telecom also incurred significant marketing costs related to the introduction of its consumer phone service in the U.K., which is being marketed under the “Toucan” brand.

 

IDT Wholesale Telecom

 

During the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2004, IDT Wholesale Telecom achieved record quarterly revenues of $138.5 million. Revenues for the quarter increased 26.9% year-over-year and 5.4% sequentially. The sequential growth was a result of expanded wholesale carrier operations in Europe, Latin America and Asia. Throughout all regions of operation, expanding business with Tier 1 carriers continues to drive growth.


Wholesale carrier gross margins were 11.0% in the third quarter, down from 11.3% in the second quarter, and 12.2% in last year’s third quarter. The reduction in margins was the result of a lower-margin mix of destinations. Gross profit dollars per minute were virtually unchanged from the prior quarter.

 

Telecom International Operations

 

IDT Telecom’s international operations continue to account for a growing proportion of overall revenues, with non-U.S. revenue representing 24.7% of total revenues during the third quarter, compared to 23.5% in the second quarter and 21.4% in the third quarter of Fiscal 2003. The Company is experiencing growth in all of its major international divisions, including Western Europe, Russia, Latin America and Asia-Pacific.

 

IDT Telecom has begun to build out its Asia-Pacific gateway switching facility in Hong Kong. Upon completion of the project, anticipated in early Fiscal 2005, IDT Telecom will possess the network infrastructure necessary to pursue its aggressive expansion plans, which will involve both wholesale carrier and retail calling card operations in several countries in the region. We anticipate that the Asia-Pacific operation will be a key revenue driver in Fiscal 2005 and beyond.

 

IDT Entertainment

 

IDT Entertainment revenues grew to $40.7 million for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2004, compared to revenues of $23.2 million in the prior quarter and revenues of $221,000 in the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2003. The 75.7% revenue improvement over the second quarter was primarily due to the inclusion of revenues from Anchor Bay Entertainment and Mainframe Entertainment for the entire third quarter, compared with their inclusion for only about half of the prior quarter, when these businesses were acquired. Furthermore, the third quarter is typically the strongest quarter for Film Roman, which contributed significantly to this quarter’s financial results.

 

The third quarter of Fiscal Year 2004 was IDT Entertainment’s first quarter of operating profits, recording income from operations of $2.4 million, compared to operating losses of $1.1 million in the prior quarter and $621,000 in the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2003. Gross margins were essentially unchanged from the prior quarter, and SG&A expenses (including non-cash compensation) improved from 29.4% of revenues in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2004 to 21.7%. Although the Company may benefit from equity stakes in some of its productions, IDT Entertainment’s earnings in the near term will be primarily generated by its licensing and distribution business and by service contract work. By Fiscal Year 2006, in addition to ongoing contract and distribution activities, the Company expects to bring several of its own projects to market. These are expected to include the theatrical release of IDT Entertainment’s first two feature films based on internally developed content.

 

During the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2004, IDT Entertainment completed the acquisition of DKP Effects, a 3-D animation and special effects production company with an international reputation for excellence for the high-end, digital visual effects it has produced for feature films, television, video features and commercials. DKP Effects produces several video features, including the Veggie Tales series and Scourge of the Worlds. DKP also produced Game Over, an animated TV series.

 

In addition, IDT Entertainment just consummated the acquisition of Manga Entertainment, one of the largest distributors of Japanese “anime” outside of Asia, with rights to over 300 titles including the critically acclaimed film “Ghost in the Shell”. Over the last 10 years, Manga has played an important role in establishing the market for “anime” in Europe and the United States.

 

On the creative content front, the Company has concluded an agreement with Stan Lee (co-creator of Spider Man, the Hulk and X-Men) to co-produce and distribute at least six animated properties based on new original Stan Lee characters for broadcast and direct to DVD distribution under the heading “Stan Lee Presents.” IDT Entertainment has also entered into a multi-faceted development, production, and distribution agreement with Todd McFarlane Productions (“TMP”) to produce animated programming and merchandise based on the TMP-character Spawn and other TMP original characters


and properties. Grammy- and Emmy-winning Producer/Director Todd McFarlane will oversee all aspects of development and production, as executive producer.

 

IDT Solutions

 

On May 12, 2004, the Company announced a reorganization of its Winstar/IDT Solutions division. The reorganization entails a substantial de-emphasis of IDT Solutions’ CLEC business, by ending the provision of retail switched communications services to commercial customers. IDT Solutions plans on redirecting its assets towards providing private line services, wholesale services and spectrum leasing to government and government integrators, telecommunications and cable companies and mobile and fixed line carriers, as well as backhaul services.

 

The following steps have been taken as part of the reorganization process:

 

  Discontinuation notices were sent in April to commercial customers representing approximately 70% of revenues. June 15th will mark the required 60-day notification period for termination of service for most of these customers. In addition to the mandatory notification period, approvals from the FCC and from state Public Utility Commissions are required prior to effectuating any service terminations. As such, IDT Solutions is working closely with these regulatory bodies in order to obtain the necessary service termination approvals.

 

  Approximately 25% of the customer base, consisting mainly of customers in the greater New York and Washington DC areas, is expected to begin a migration process to another carrier later this month and/or begin a service discontinuation process. It is expected that these processes will last for 60-90 days, at which time once again approvals from the FCC and state PUCs will be required before services are terminated.

 

  IDT Solutions is working closely with the GSA to find an alternative provider of services to IDT Solutions government customers receiving switched services that meets with the appropriate approval. Until such a time, the current level of service being provided those government customers will be fully preserved.

 

  The total cash outlay during Q4 and beyond associated with this restructuring is estimated to be in the $50 - $60 million range, and including funding IDT Solution’s operational cash burn through the completion of the reorganization process, early terminations of connectivity and real estate leases and site clean-up costs, the reduction of a 400 employee workforce, and the net payment of outstanding liabilities as of the end of Q3, consisting mainly of connectivity related obligations. The total loss from operations in Q4 and beyond associated with this restructuring is estimated to be in the $25 - $30 million range. This is an estimate, as several components of these costs have not yet been negotiated.

 

IDT Solutions recorded revenues of $17.2 million in the third quarter, as compared to revenues of $19.4 million in the prior quarter and revenues of $20.8 million in the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2003. Operating losses were $55.4 million (including a $28.1 million reorganization charge), versus $15.4 million in the prior quarter and $19.6 in the year-ago period.

 

Voice over IP

 

IDT’s Voice over IP business segment reflects mostly the operations of Net2Phone, which is a separate publicly held corporation whose common stock is quoted on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol “NTOP.” Net2Phone is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Net2Phone issued a press release with respect to its results for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2004, the three months ended April 30, 2004, on June 9, 2004. Set forth below is a brief description of Net2Phone’s results as they are consolidated into IDT’s results. Primarily because of the elimination of intercompany transactions in IDT’s consolidated results, Net2Phone’s independently reported results of operations differ from those reported in IDT’s consolidation. For further information with respect to Net2Phone, please refer to the above-referenced press release and other Net2Phone press releases, Net2Phone’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and prior and subsequent reports and other information filed by Net2Phone from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. None of such releases, reports or information are incorporated into this release and such releases, reports and information do not form a part of this release.

 

Voice over IP income from operations was $0.9 million on revenues of $20.8 million in the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2004, compared to a loss from operations of $9.8 million on revenues of $19.6 million in the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2003 and a loss from operations of $8.6 million on revenues of $18.6 million recorded in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2004.

 

IDT’s net loss for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2004 includes only its approximately 19.8% percent ownership stake in Net2Phone during the quarter. An adjustment to record the share of Net2Phone’s net income attributable to the other shareholders of Net2Phone


has been made in ‘minority interests.’ We have extended the arrangement giving IDT voting control over Net2Phone until December 1, 2004. Therefore, we expect to continue to consolidate Net2Phone at least until then.

In this press release, all statements that are not purely about historical facts, including, but not limited to, those with the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate, “target” and similar expressions, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. While these forward-looking statements represent IDT’s current judgment of what may happen in the future, actual results may differ materially from the results expressed or implied by these statements due to numerous important factors. Such factors, include, but are not limited to, that fact that: each of IDT’s telecommunications business lines is highly sensitive to declining prices, which could adversely affect IDT’s revenues and margins; because IDT’s prepaid calling cards generate the bulk of IDT’s revenues, IDT’s financial results are substantially dependent upon success in that area; IDT may not be able to obtain sufficient or cost-effective termination capacity to particular destinations to keep up with the growth of minutes of use to such destinations; termination of IDT’s carrier agreements with foreign partners or IDT’s inability to enter into carrier agreements in the future could materially and adversely affect IDT’s ability to compete in foreign countries; IDT’s revenues and growth will suffer if IDT’s distributors and sales representatives, particularly Union Telecard, fail to effectively market and distribute IDT’s prepaid calling cards and other services; IDT Solutions has incurred significant losses since its inception and IDT’s recently announced restructuring efforts may be more costly than anticipated; IDT has incurred significant losses since inception, and may continue to do so; IDT’s growth strategy depends in part, on our acquiring and integrating complementary businesses and assets and expanding existing operations, which IDT may not be able to do; federal, state and international government taxation and regulations may reduce IDT’s ability to provide services; telecommunications regulations of other countries may restrict IDT’s operations; and the infringement or duplication of our proprietary technology could increase IDT’s competition and IDT could incur substantial costs in defending or pursuing any claims relating to proprietary rights; external factors in the motion picture and television industries and those factors described in IDT’s most recent report on SEC Form 10-K (under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”), which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on SEC Forms 10-Q and 8-K and other filings IDT may make with the SEC.
