“IDT had a solid quarter operationally, with record consolidated gross profits,” said Jim Courter, CEO. “About three years ago we talked about turning IDT into a truly global telecom powerhouse. At that time, we weren’t even active in ten countries, and today we generate revenues in 30 countries. On top of that, we have launched a significant entertainment business.

 

Rousseau said ‘Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.’ We are a very patient company with big dreams and solid progress toward them quarter by quarter. This quarter’s net results were negatively affected by some one time charges. We have a longer term focus, and our outlook is intact and bright.”

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

IDT Telecom

 

Revenues for our IDT Telecom division for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 increased 17.5% year-over-year and were virtually flat when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The year-over-year revenue increase was driven by gains in retail services, which offset a small decline in wholesale telecom sales. Sequentially, a slight decrease in calling card revenues was outweighed by increases in our consumer phone service sales.

 

Gross margins, at 24.8%, reached their highest level since the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, increasing 170 basis points from last year’s second quarter, and 60 basis points from the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The year-over-year improvement was due to the shift in revenue mix toward consumer phone services and calling card revenues, which have higher gross margins than do our wholesale carrier operations. On a sequential basis, the improvement in gross margins resulted from solidly higher gross margins for calling cards, coupled with a shift in mix toward consumer phone services.

 

IDT Telecom’s gross profits amounted to $134.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, representing increases of 26.3% and 2.4%, when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2004 and the first quarter of fiscal 2005, respectively.

 

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for IDT Telecom were $98.0 million in the second quarter. However, this included approximately $8.7 million in non-recurring legal expenses, primarily arising from a class action lawsuit relating to the Company’s U.S. prepaid calling cards. Absent these expenses, IDT Telecom’s SG&A expenses for the quarter would have amounted to $89.3 million, 32.8% higher than in the year ago period, but 6.5% lower than the levels recorded during first quarter of 2005.

 

The year-over-year increase in SG&A expenses was due to several factors, including:

 

    Sharply higher sales, marketing and other related expenses, resulting from the launches, and subsequent growth, since the first quarter of fiscal 2004, of our consumer phone services businesses in both the U.S. and the U.K;

 

    Increased headcount, relating to our ongoing geographic expansion, as well as the growth of our consumer phone services businesses. The majority of the headcount increase has taken place outside the U.S., particularly in Western Europe, Russia, Asia, and Latin America. We anticipate continued headcount increases over the second half of Fiscal 2005, throughout our international areas of operation, although at a much slower pace than we have witnessed in recent quarters; and

 

    Significant investments into the development of new businesses, in both the U.S. and abroad. These businesses, which have not yet contributed materially to our revenues, include both telecom and non-telecom products and services marketed to our existing retail and wholesale customer bases.

 

IDT Telecom’s income from operations for the second quarter was $13.1 million, 38.6% lower than in the prior year period, and a 16.6% drop from fiscal 2005’s first quarter, primarily resulting from higher SG&A expenses incurred in the continuing expansion of our business and from non-recurring legal expenses.

 

IDT Telecom minutes of use for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 increased 17.9% year-over-year to 5.761 billion minutes from 4.887 billion minutes, and decreased 2.1% from fiscal first quarter 2005’s 5.885 billion minutes.

Retail Telecom

 

Retail Telecom revenues for the second quarter increased 25.1% year-over-year to $411.7 million, and were essentially unchanged from the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Income from operations for the second quarter was $17.7 million, a 30.5% decline year-over-year and a 14.3% decline from the first quarter. Excluding the one-time legal expenses discussed above, Retail Telecom operating income would have amounted to approximately $26.4 million, representing gains over both the sequential and year-ago periods.

 

Calling card revenues were $321.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, a 12.5% increase from the $285.3 million of revenue generated in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 and 1.6% lower than the $326.3 million of revenue recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. As fiscal 2005 began, we shifted our focus from market share gains to improving margins in our major U.S. markets, and as price increases were implemented on several cards, we witnessed improved margins, accompanied by a slight, anticipated decline in revenues. This trend continued in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Also, in Q2 2005, our European calling card business recorded solid revenue gains, while gross margins recovered from the declines experienced over the past two quarters.

 

Consumer phone services generated revenues of $90.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, more than double the $43.8 million of revenues recorded in the year-ago period and up 7.1% from the $84.8 million of revenues recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The customer base for America Unlimited, the IDT calling plan which features unlimited local and long distance calling within the United States for a fixed monthly rate, was approximately 296,000 as of January 31, 2005. In addition, we had approximately 362,000 long distance-only customers at January 31, 2005. During the second half of the quarter, we scaled back our customer acquisition efforts for our bundled service offering, due to the FCC’s December 15th ruling relating to UNE-P. According to the FCC’s ruling, which becomes effective on March 11, 2005, the Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs) will not be required to lease some elements of their local networks to competing carriers, such as IDT, for existing customers, beyond March 11, 2006. Consequently, we anticipate declines in our bundled customer base, revenues and selling and marketing expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2005, when compared to the second quarter. However, we continue to negotiate with the ILECs, with the intent of signing long-term commercial arrangements, which will allow us to continue to grow this business.

 

In the UK, we continue to build the customer base for our Toucan consumer phone service. As of January 31, 2005, we had approximately 114,000 active customers. During the second quarter, we added other services to our offering, including Internet access, and we have recently signed an agreement with T-Mobile, which will allow us to offer Toucan-branded cellular services to our customer base. Our Internet access service offerings include both dial-up and broadband access services, marketed under the ToucanSurf brand. In addition, we plan to expand Toucan to other markets, with plans to launch the service in the Netherlands before the end of Fiscal 2005, and in Belgium during the first half of Fiscal 2006.

Wholesale Telecom

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, Wholesale Telecom achieved revenues of $129.2 million, 1.7% lower than the year-ago quarter’s $131.5 million, and unchanged from the revenues recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. In comparing the second quarter’s results with those of both the prior year quarter and the most recent quarter, increased minutes volumes were largely offset by lower per-minute price realizations.

 

Wholesale Telecom gross margins were 9.4% in the second quarter, down from 10.2% in the first quarter, and 11.3% in last year’s second quarter. The reduction in margins was the result of the decline in per-minute price realizations, which reflect continued competitive pressures in all regions of operation. We expect that most of our wholesale markets will remain competitive for the remainder of the fiscal year. Consequently, we anticipate that per-minute price realizations could continue to decline over at least the next two quarters.

 

During the quarter, IDT Telecom increased its number of carrier interconnects, particularly in emerging markets, such as Latin America, Asia and Africa. In addition, we continued to invest in our network in order to allow us to increasingly offer Internet Protocol (IP) interconnects, thereby providing a much-desired, value-added service to potential customers. We believe that these developments will allow us to grow our wholesale carrier business worldwide as we enter Fiscal 2006.

 

IDT Entertainment

 

IDT Entertainment generated revenues of $41.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to $60.4 million of revenues recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and $23.2 million of revenues generated in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. The dramatic increase in revenues as compared with the year-ago period results from the inclusion, during Q2 2005, of a full quarter of revenues from Anchor Bay Entertainment and Mainframe Entertainment, acquired in December 2003, and the inclusion of revenues from Manga Entertainment, acquired in June 2004. The 32.0% decrease in sequential revenues was primarily due to seasonal factors in our licensing and video distribution business. Generally, our fiscal first quarter is the strongest for our licensing and video distribution business, followed by our fiscal third quarter. We continue to expect fiscal 2005 revenues approaching $200 million for IDT Entertainment.

 

IDT Entertainment’s income from operations was $2.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to income from operations of $4.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and an operating loss of $1.1 million in the year-ago period. The substantial increase in income from operations versus the prior year is largely due to the inclusion and growth of our licensing and video distribution business, which has significantly higher margins than our contract production services business. The decrease in income from operations versus the prior quarter is due to the seasonal reduction in revenues discussed above.

 

IDT Entertainment’s strategy for growth is twofold: production of proprietary CG animated films to be released theatrically, and continued investment in original productions and new video licenses for retail distribution. Although we expect to derive significant benefits from equity stakes in our proprietary productions, revenues in the near term will be primarily generated by our licensing and video distribution business and by production service contract work.

 

During the next few months, IDT Entertainment’s licensing and video distribution business will be releasing a number of well-know titles into the retail market. In our TV Series-on-DVD category, upcoming releases include The Greatest American Hero season 2, Doogie Howser, MD, Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, 3rd Rock from the Sun and Roseanne. Our children’s category will have two new Thomas the Tank Engine releases and a new property, Tractor Tom. Our horror category will benefit from the releases of titles such as The Entity and Malevolence, which will open in limited theatrical release. Our theatrical catalogue will benefit from a number of new titles, including John Grisham’s Mickey.

 

We are also making strides in our move into the live action format for the broadcast and home video market. IDT Entertainment’s subsidiary, New Arc, was founded in 2004 to produce low budget horror, science fiction and thriller

 

4


films. New Arc has completed two films since its inception and currently has 19 other films in various stages of pre-production and production. Among these films is a 13-episode anthology entitled Masters of Horror. New Arc’s films will be distributed by Anchor Bay in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. and by third party distributors, through IDT Entertainment Sales, which was formed to distribute content produced by IDT Entertainment outside the areas covered by Anchor Bay and Manga, in select foreign markets.

 

Voice over IP

 

IDT’s Voice over IP business segment consists primarily of our interest in 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. Net2Phone issued a press release with respect to its preliminary results for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 ended January 31, 2005, on March 9, 2005, which are subject to change pending final resolution of certain issues, because Net2Phone recently identified deficiencies in its internal financial controls, two of which may impact the financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Set forth below is a brief description of Net2Phone’s preliminary 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 consolidated results. 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 is incorporated into this release and such releases, reports and information do not form a part of this release.

 

Voice over IP’s loss from operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was $8.6 million on revenues of $18.1 million, compared to a loss from operations of $8.6 million on revenues of $18.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 and a loss from operations of $7.8 million on revenues of $18.1 million recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Recent achievements for the quarter included:

 

    Net2Phone announced a five-year agreement with Empresa Telecomunicaciones de Bogota, the dominant phone company in Colombia, to deliver multiple VoIP solutions, including residential broadband telephony.

 

    Several commercial launches of residential broadband phone service with cable partners.

 

    More than 14,000 paying VoiceLine and PacketCable telephony customers.

 

IDT’s net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 includes only its approximately 14.0% percent ownership stake in Net2Phone during the quarter. An adjustment to record the share of Net2Phone’s net loss attributable to the other shareholders of Net2Phone has been made in ‘minority interests.’

 

On March 8, 2005, we acquired all of Liberty Media Corporation’s direct and indirect interests in Net2Phone in exchange for approximately 3.75 million shares of IDT Class B common stock. This transaction increases our ownership stake to approximately 40.9% of the equity and 57.0% of the voting power of Net2Phone, and will increase Liberty Media’s stake in IDT’s equity to approximately 17%. Liberty Media will continue to participate in Net2Phone’s success through its investment in IDT and through its participation on Net2Phone’s Cable Advisory Board.
