REMARKS BY SHMUEL JONAS, CEO
“IDT delivered consistent results in the first quarter of our 2020 fiscal year highlighted by expansion of our higher-margin growth initiatives and our lower margin Mobile Top-Up services offset by decreases of our BOSS Revolution Calling and Carrier Service revenues in line with our expectations.
“In IDT’s growth initiatives, net2phone’s cloud-based UCaaS offering increased revenue 50% year-over-year, and 35% exclusive of our acquisition of Versature. National Retail Solutions turned in a strong quarter, increasing revenue by 93% year-over-year. NRS’ advertising, data analytics and credit card processing offerings drove the expansion as they began to gain traction in their respective markets. BOSS Revolution Money Transfer boosted revenue by 56% year-over-year to $7.4 million. DTC revenue increased 69% year-over-year to $4.6 million while retail channel revenue increased 38% to $2.8 million.
“In IDT’s Core operations, Mobile Top-Up revenue increased 18% year-over-year to $76.8 million boosted by expanded sales of bundled offerings.
“Expansion of our growth initiatives and Mobile Top-Up drove an increase in gross profit for the fourth consecutive quarter, while Adjusted EBITDA* climbed to $7.3 million from $7.1 million a year ago.”

Notes on Consolidated Results and Balance Sheet
Consolidated results for all periods presented include corporate overhead. Corporate G&A expense decreased to $2.2 million in 1Q20 from $2.3 million in 1Q19.
At October 31, 2019, IDT held $77.8 million in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, debt securities and current equity investments. Current assets totaled $373.7 million and current liabilities totaled $396.4 million.
Net cash used in operating activities during 1Q20 was $5.0 million, including the impact of a $1.8 million increase in customer deposits at IDT’s Gibraltar-based bank, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $8.2 million in the year ago quarter, including a $5.6 million increase in customer deposits at the bank. The year-over-year decrease in cash-flow from operations is mostly due to the timing of prepayments made to disbursement agents in the BOSS Revolution Money Transfer business.
Capital expenditures were $3.9 million and $4.5 million in 1Q20 and 1Q19, respectively.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the
First Quarter Fiscal 2020 and 2019
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 1Q20, 4Q19, and 1Q19, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) 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 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 (loss) starts with net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP and adds severance expense, stock-based compensation, and other operating expense, net.
IDT’s measure of non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) by the diluted weighted-average shares.
These additions and subtractions are non-cash and/or non-routine items in the relevant fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 periods.
Management believes that IDT’s Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) 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 (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) 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.
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 (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) 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 expense, net, which is a component of income (loss) from operations, is excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share. Other operating expense, net includes accruals for non-income related taxes related to one of IDT’s foreign entities, legal fees related to Straight Path Communications Inc.’s stockholders’ putative class action and derivative complaint, and expense for the indemnification of a net2phone cable telephony customer related to patent infringement claims brought against the customer. From time-to-time, IDT may incur costs related to non-routine tax and legal matters. However, these matters do not occur each quarter. IDT does not believe the gains or losses from these non-routine matters are 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 (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) 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.
Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) 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 (loss) 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 (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Following are reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) 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 (loss), net income (loss), and (c) for non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.
