IDT Corporation Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 Results

NEWARK, NJ–(Marketwired – June 02, 2016) – IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT) reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.19 and Non-GAAP diluted EPS* of $0.38 on revenue of $355.2 million for the third quarter of its fiscal year 2016, the three months ended April 30, 2016.


3Q16 HIGHLIGHTS

(Results for 3Q16 are compared to 3Q15)

  • IDT completed the spin-off of its majority interest in Zedge to IDT shareholders on June 1, 2016. Zedge now trades on the NYSE MKT under the ticker symbol “ZDGE”;
  • Consolidated revenue decreased to $355.2 million from $383.9 million;
  • Adjusted EBITDA* decreased to $10.3 million from $13.6 million;
  • Income from operations increased to $5.7 million from $2.5 million. In 3Q15, IDT recorded severance expense of $6.2 million;
  • Diluted EPS increased to $0.19 from $0.02;
  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS* decreased to $0.38 from $0.43.


MANAGEMENT REMARKS

IDT’s Chief Executive Officer Shmuel Jonas said, “Yesterday, IDT spun off to our stockholders our interest in Zedge as an independent public company. The hugely popular and fast growing Zedge app for mobile device personalization began trading the regular way on the NYSE MKT today.

“I want to congratulate the entire Zedge team, and particularly Tom Arnoy and Jonathan Reich, and wish them good luck and much success as an independent company. We believe Zedge has tremendous potential and the right team to fully realize it.

“IDT delivered solid bottom line results this quarter. The sequential revenue decrease — primarily from our wholesale carrier business — was disappointing but had a muted impact on our bottom line. That’s largely because the revenue we lost was very low margin, and because we continue to manage our overhead spending even as we invest more heavily in our growth initiatives.”

3Q16 OPERATING RESULTS BY SEGMENT


(Results are for 3Q16 and comparisons are to 3Q15 unless otherwise noted)

TPS
IDT’s Telecom Platform Services (TPS) segment accounted for 98.7% of IDT’s revenue in 3Q16 compared to 98.8% in 3Q15 and 98.5% in the prior quarter. TPS markets and distributes multiple communications and payment services across four broad business verticals: Retail Communications, Wholesale Carrier Services, Payment Services and Hosted Platform Solutions.

TPS’ quarterly minutes of use totaled 6.97 billion compared to 7.15 billion (-2.5%) in 3Q15 and 7.03 billion (-0.8%) in 2Q16. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects a decline in Retail Communications minutes, led primarily by the decline in Boss Revolution voice traffic over the US-to-Mexico corridor. Adjusting for the lower number of days in our fiscal Q3 as compared to our fiscal Q2, TPS minutes of use, including Boss Revolution voice traffic, actually increased by 1.4%.

TPS’ revenue was $350.4 million compared to $379.1 million (-7.6%) in the year ago quarter and $376.7 million (-7.0%) in the prior quarter. The year over year decrease is the result of declines in revenue within the Retail Communications and Wholesale Carrier Services verticals. The sequential decrease was generated predominantly by a decline in Wholesale Carrier Services’ revenues.

Wholesale Carrier Services   $123.3   $134.9   $147.2   (8.6)%   2.6%   35.2%

  • Retail Communications – Revenue decreased 10.1% year over year, driven primarily by lower sales of traditional prepaid cards in the US and overseas. Sales of IDT’s flagship Boss Revolution international calling service, which is the dominant offering in the Retail Communications vertical, declined 4.5% year over year. The year over year revenue decline at Boss Revolution primarily reflects the impact of a move toward deregulation of Mexico’s telecommunications markets. As discussed in prior quarters, deregulation led to a dramatic reduction in the cost of terminating calls from the US to Mexico — formerly Boss Revolution’s largest calling corridor. Exclusive of the US to Mexico route, revenue generated by Boss Revolution’s international calling service increased in 3Q16 by approximately 1% compared to the year ago quarter. On a per-day basis, Retail Communications revenue decreased 0.3% compared to 2Q16. Sales of the Boss Revolution calling service increased 1.1% on a per-day basis but the increase did not fully offset the continued decline in sales of traditional prepaid card products.
  • Wholesale Carrier Services – Revenue decreased 8.6% year over year on a traffic mix-shift to lower revenue per minute corridors that more than offset a 2.6% increase in minutes of use. Sequentially, revenue decreased 16.3% reflecting the loss of several high volume, but very low margin, customers.
  • Payment Services – Revenue increased 6.5% year over year on continued increases in sales of airtime top-up services supplemented by the expansion of IDT’s early stage international money transfer business.
  • Hosted Platform Solutions – Revenue decreased by 20.1% year over year, in-line with expectations and reflective of reductions in rates and subscribers for telephony services provided by IDT to its cable operator customers.

TPS’ direct cost of revenue as a percentage of TPS’ revenue was 83.4% in 3Q16, an increase of 30 basis points year over year, and a decrease of 120 basis points sequentially, in both cases mostly due to changes in the revenue mix between sales of higher margin Retail Communications revenues as compared to relatively lower margin Wholesale Carrier Services revenues.

TPS’ SG&A expense decreased to $46.7 million from $48.6 million (-3.9%) in 3Q15 and from $46.8 million (-0.1%) in 2Q16. The year over year decrease primarily reflects reduced employee compensation costs, after headcount reductions implemented in fiscal 2015, lower marketing and advertising expense, and a reduction in legal fees.

TPS’ Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $11.5 million from $15.3 million (-24.8%) in 3Q15 and increased from $11.3 million (+1.8%) in 2Q16. The year over year decrease was mostly due to the decrease in revenues and increase in direct cost as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by the reduction in SG&A expense.

TPS’ depreciation and amortization expense was $4.9 million in 3Q16, an increase from $4.1 million (+20.9%) in 3Q15 and $4.7 million (+6.1%) in 2Q16. Depreciation increased due to higher levels of capital expenditures in recent periods to support new product development, including IDT Messaging, PICUP, and the Boss Revolution Calling App.

TPS’ income from operations increased to $6.3 million from $5.6 million (+12.8%) in 3Q15 and was unchanged compared to 2Q16. Income from operations included the impact of severance expense of $0.2 million in 3Q16 and $5.6 million in 3Q15.

CPS

Consumer Phone Services (CPS) sells local and long distance services domestically in 11 states, marketed under the brand name IDT America. CPS has been in harvest mode for the last decade, maximizing revenue from current customers while maintaining SG&A and other expenses at the minimum levels essential to operate the business. Results this quarter conformed to expectations.

CPS’ revenue was $1.7 million and income from operations was $351 thousand.

ALL OTHER

All Other included Zedge, one of the most popular content platforms for mobile device personalization including ringtones, wallpapers, home screen icons and game recommendations, as well as IDT’s real estate holdings and other small businesses. Zedge was spun off from IDT on June 1, 2016.

Zedge’s revenue in 3Q16 was $2.6 million, an increase from $2.2 million (+17.0%) in 3Q15 and a decrease from $3.5 million (-27.1%) in 2Q16. The year over year increase was driven by continued user growth and increased customer engagement. The sequential decrease conformed to expectation and reflected seasonal factors that increased revenue in the second quarter. Zedge generated income from operations of $239 thousand in 3Q16 compared $123 thousand in the year ago quarter, and $1.7 million in 2Q16.

All Other’s revenue was $3.1 million in 3Q16 compared to $2.7 million (+14.1%) in 3Q15 and to $4.0 million (-23.1%) in 3Q16. Zedge and IDT’s real estate holdings generated all of All Other’s revenue in each of these periods.

All Other’s income from operations was $1.8 million in 3Q16 compared to $1.6 million in 3Q15 and unchanged compared to 2Q16. Income from operations in 3Q16 and 3Q15 included gains of $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively on the sale of Fabrix.


OTHER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Consolidated results for all periods presented include corporate overhead. In 3Q16, corporate G&A expense was $2.8 million compared to $2.9 million (-2.0%) in the year ago quarter and $2.1 million (+35.9%) in the prior quarter. The sequential increase reflected increased legal expense.

Net income attributable to IDT increased to $4.2 million from $565 thousand in the year ago quarter and $4.1 million in the prior quarter. The year over year improvement was due primarily to severance expense of $6.2 million in the year ago quarter and the reduction in SG&A expense.

At April 30, 2016, IDT had $147.8 million in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Additionally, at that date, IDT reported $99.8 million in current restricted cash and cash equivalents, nearly all of which represents customer deposits held by IDT’s Gibraltar-based bank. At quarter end, current assets totaled $336.8 million and current liabilities were $335.3 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities during 3Q16 was $10.7 million compared to $6.8 million during 3Q15 and $11.2 million in 2Q16. For the same periods, capital expenditures were $4.7 million compared to $8.9 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 and 2015

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 the third quarters of fiscal 2016 and 2015, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, or EPS, 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, selling, general and administrative expense and research and development expense. Another way of calculating Adjusted EBITDA is to start with income from operations, add depreciation and amortization, severance expense, and other operating losses, and subtracts the gain on the sale of interest in Fabrix Systems Ltd.

IDT’s measure of non-GAAP net income starts with net income in accordance with GAAP and adds depreciation and amortization, severance expense, stock-based compensation, and other operating losses, and subtracts the gain on the sale of interest in Fabrix Systems Ltd.

IDT’s measure of non-GAAP diluted EPS 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 2016 and fiscal 2015 periods.

Management believes that IDT’s Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses and non-routine gains 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 EPS 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, 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 operating results exclusive of depreciation and amortization charges are useful indicators of its current performance.

Severance expense is also excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS. 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 and gain on the sale of interest in Fabrix Systems Ltd., which are components of income from operations, are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS. From time-to-time, IDT will dispose of certain assets or incur costs related to legal matters. In addition, IDT may select and incubate promising early stage businesses outside of its core business for eventual sale or spin-off to its stockholders. However, such losses or gains do not occur each quarter nor are they part of IDT’s or the relevant segment’s core operating results.

The other calculation of Adjusted EBITDA consists of revenues less direct cost of revenues, selling, general and administrative expense and research and development 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 EPS 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 and non-GAAP EPS 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, 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 EPS 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 EPS 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 EPS, basic and diluted earnings per share.

IDT Introduces the Boss Revolution Cuba Plus Calling Plan

Clear Calls to Cuba for a Lower Price

NEWARK, N.J., March 09, 2016 — IDT Corporation (NYSE:IDT), the first US-based carrier with a direct connection to Cuba, today introduced its Boss Revolution Cuba Plus calling plan.

Customers who sign up for Boss Revolution Cuba Plus can call to Cuba using the Boss Revolution app, any mobile phone or landline for just $0.65 per minute. Because of IDT’s direct connection with Cuba, Cuba Plus callers will get both a competitive rate and the best possible call quality without the interference and dropped calls associated with indirect routing.

Bill Pereira, CEO of IDT Telecom, said, “Boss Revolution has long been a leading provider of calling services to the Cuban American community. We understand the importance of good call quality, since these conversations allow our customers to stay in touch with – and participate in the lives of – loved ones back home. Now, we are pleased to leverage our direct connection with Cuba to power our Cuba Plus calling plan. Quite simply, the Boss Revolution Cuba Plus plan is the best way to stay in touch with family and friends in Cuba.”

The Boss Revolution Cuba Plus plan includes all the features of the Boss Revolution international calling service including great rates to the rest of Latin America and around the world. And like all Boss Revolution prepaid calling plans, Cuba Plus is free of hidden fees and minimum usage requirements.

Customers can enroll in Cuba Plus and fund their account at any participating Boss Revolution retailer or online at bossrevolution.com. Cuba Plus customers will also be able to purchase Cubacel airtime credit through their Boss Revolution retailer, online or through the Boss Revolution app. Cubacel airtime credit can be used in Cuba for both domestic and international calling.

IDT Initiates Spin-Off of Zedge

NEWARK, NJ–(Marketwired – March 08, 2016) – IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT) today announced that its Zedge, Inc. subsidiary (Zedge) has filed a Form 10 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission related to the planned spin-off of IDT’s majority interest in Zedge to IDT stockholders. 

Zedge provides one of the most popular content distribution platforms, worldwide, centered on self-expression. Today its platform enables consumers to personalize their mobile devices with free, high quality ringtones, wallpapers, home screen app icons and notification sounds. Currently, the Zedge smartphone app has been installed over 190 million times, has more than 33 million monthly active users and has averaged among the top 25 free applications in the Google Play store in the U.S. for the past six years.

“We are very excited to begin the process of spinning Zedge off to our stockholders,” said Howard Jonas, IDT’s Chairman. ”We have incubated Zedge and aided its phenomenal growth to date, helping it to become a great social media success story. Zedge has now validated its business model and reached the point where it can best achieve its potential as an independent company with resources focused exclusively on additional growth and value creation.” 

“This is a momentous milestone for us,” said Tom Arnoy, CEO and co-founder of Zedge. “I want to thank our users, employees, investors and business partners for supporting us and helping us achieve and maintain our leadership position. We look forward to continuing to deliver best of breed products and services in the world of digital self-expression and personalization.”

The Zedge spin-off is intended to be tax-free to IDT’s shareholders. Prior to consummation of the spin-off, IDT expects to receive a legal opinion as to the spin-off’s tax-free status.

In connection with the spin-off, each IDT stockholder will receive one share of Zedge Class A common stock for every three shares of IDT Class A common stock and one share of Zedge Class B common stock for every three shares of IDT Class B common stock. Upon completion of the spin-off, we expect that IDT stockholders as of the record date will hold approximately 83 percent of Zedge.

As of March 4, 2016, there were approximately 1.6 million shares of IDT Class A common stock, and approximately 21.4 million shares of IDT Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

No action is required by IDT stockholders to receive the shares of Zedge common stock.

The Form 10 and related materials, including an information statement, are available through the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at: https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=zedge&match=&filenum=&State=&Country=&SIC=&myowner=exclude&action=getcompany&Find=Search.

IDT Corporation Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2016 Results

NEWARK, NJ — March 3, 2016: IDT
Corporation (NYSE: IDT) reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.18 and
Non-GAAP diluted EPS* of $0.39 on revenue of $382.5 million for the second quarter
of its fiscal year 2016, the three months ended January 31, 2016.

2Q16 HIGHLIGHTS

(Results for 2Q16 are compared to 2Q15)

  • Consolidated revenue decreased to
    $382.5 million from $394.2 million primarily as a result of reduced traffic
    on the US to Mexico corridor;
  • IDT improved its results of operations
    year over year increasing Adjusted EBITDA to $11.7 million from $8.0
    million, income from operations to $6.4 million from $3.7 million, and diluted
    EPS to $0.18 from $0.11;
  • IDT continues to benefit from efforts
    to right size overhead. SG&A
    expense decreased to $51.1 million, its lowest level in over three years;
  • Zedge, which IDT plans to spin-off in
    the current fiscal year, had an outstanding quarter. Revenue increased to $3.5 million from
    $2.4 million. Income from
    operations increased to $1.7 million compared to a loss from operations of
    $610 thousand.

Management Remarks

IDT’s Chief Executive Officer Shmuel
Jonas said, “IDT performed well in the second quarter, generating $11.7 million
in Adjusted EBITDA, up from $8.0 million in the year ago quarter and increasing
diluted EPS to $0.18 from $0.11 a year ago.

“A sharp reduction in industry-wide
call termination costs in Mexico implemented by regulatory authorities there last
year and slowing revenue growth generated by Boss Revolution’s prepaid calling
service contributed to year over year and sequential revenue declines. However, we expect that the impact on our bottom
line will dissipate in coming quarters.

“Looking ahead, we are committed
to invest significantly in longer term growth initiatives throughout the
Company. Individually and in their
totality, these initiatives have very promising prospects and will gradually
transform our business while we continue to focus on improving the efficiency of
our operations.

“I’m pleased to report that Zedge
had a very strong quarter, with record levels of revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and
income from operations. We expect to
spin-off Zedge to our shareholders in the coming months.”

*Throughout this release, Adjusted EBITDA,
Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP diluted EPS for all periods presented are
non-GAAP measures intended to provide useful information that supplements IDT’s
or the relevant segment’s core results in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the Reconciliation of
Non-GAAP Financial Measures at the end of this release for an explanation of
these terms and their respective reconciliation to the most directly comparable
GAAP measure.

2Q16 OPERATING
RESULTS BY SEGMENT

(Results are for 2Q16 and comparisons
are to 2Q15 unless otherwise noted)

TPS

IDT’s Telecom Platform Services (TPS) segment accounted for 98.5%
of IDT’s revenue in 2Q16. TPS markets
and distributes multiple communications and payment services across four broad
business verticals: Retail Communications, Wholesale Carrier Services, Payment
Services and Hosted Platform Solutions.

TPS’ quarterly minutes of use were
7.03 billion compared to 7.53 billion (-6.7%) in 2Q15 and to 7.16 billion (-1.9%)
in 1Q16. The decreases primarily reflect
a decline in Retail Communications minutes, led primarily by the decline in Boss
Revolution voice traffic over the US-to-Mexico corridor and reduced sales of
traditional disposable calling cards.

TPS’ revenue was $376.7 million
compared to $389.0 million (-3.2%) in the year ago quarter and $385.7 million (-2.3%)
in the prior quarter. The decreases are
primarily the result of declines in revenue within the Retail Communications
vertical.

Retail Communications – Sales
of IDT’s flagship Boss Revolution international calling service, which is the
dominant offering in the Retail Communications vertical, declined 1.8% year
over year and 1.3% sequentially. Traditional
prepaid cards and other, smaller product lines also contributed significantly to
the decline in Retail Communications’ revenues.
The revenue decline at Boss Revolution reflects, in part, regulatory
changes that dramatically reduced the cost of terminating calls from the US to
Mexico – Boss Revolution’s largest calling corridor. This dynamic is likely to continue
at least for the remainder of the year but become progressively less impactful to
prior period comparisons over time. Exclusive
of the US-to-Mexico route, revenue generated by Boss Revolution’s international
calling service increased in 2Q16 by approximately 5% compared to the year ago
quarter and was unchanged sequentially.

Wholesale Carrier Services – Revenue
increased slightly year over year on a traffic mix-shift to higher revenue per
minute corridors. The increase was partially
offset by a decline in minutes of use.

Payment Services – Revenue increased year over year on growth
in sales of international airtime top-up, which is the dominant product line in
this vertical.

Hosted Platform Solutions – Revenue decreased in-line with
expectations reflecting reductions in rates for telephony services provided by
IDT to its cable operator customers.

TPS’ direct cost of revenue as a percentage of TPS’ revenue was
84.6% in 2Q16, an increase of 40 basis points year over year and 80 basis
points sequentially. The increases were driven
primarily by the wholesale carrier vertical.

TPS’ SG&A expense decreased to $46.8 million from $50.5
million (-7.3%) in 2Q15 and from $48.2 million (-3.0%) in 1Q16. Expressed as a percentage of TPS’ revenue,
TPS’ 2Q16 SG&A decreased to 12.4% from 13.0% in 2Q15 and from 12.5% in 1Q16. The year over year decrease primarily reflects
reduced employee compensation costs after headcount reductions implemented in
fiscal 2015, and reduced marketing and advertising expense compared to the year
ago quarter.

TPS’ Adjusted EBITDA increased to $11.3 million from $11.1
million (+1.4%) in 2Q15 and decreased from $14.1 million (-20.2%) in 1Q16. The year over year increase was attributable
to the decrease in SG&A expense partially offset by the decline in revenue
less direct costs. Sequentially, the
decline in revenue was only partially offset by the reduction in direct costs
and SG&A expense.

TPS’ depreciation and amortization expense was $4.7 million
in 2Q16, an increase from $3.9 million (+18.2%) in 2Q15 and $4.4 million (+5.5%)
in 1Q16. Depreciation increased due to higher
levels of capital expenditures in recent periods to support new product
development, including IDT Messaging, Net2Phone Office, and the Boss Revolution
Calling App.

TPS’ income from operations decreased to $6.3 million from
$6.9 million (-8.3%) in 2Q15 and $9.7 million (-35.2%) in 1Q16. Income from operations in 2Q16 and 2Q15
included the impact of a loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment of
$326 thousand and severance expense of $316 thousand, respectively.

CPS

Consumer Phone Services
(CPS) sells local and long distance services domestically in 11 states,
marketed under the brand name IDT America.
CPS has been in harvest mode for the last decade, maximizing revenue
from current customers while maintaining SG&A and other expenses at the minimum
levels essential to operate the business.
Results this quarter conformed to expectations.

CPS’ revenue was $1.8 million
compared to $2.2 million (-21.2%) in 2Q15 and $1.8 million (-3.4%) in the prior
quarter. CPS’ income from operations
was $290 thousand in 2Q16, compared to $307 thousand (-5.5%) in 2Q15 and $339
thousand (-14.6%) in 1Q16.

ALL OTHER

All Other includes Zedge, one of the most popular content
platforms for mobile device personalization including ringtones, wallpapers,
home screen icons and game recommendations, as well as IDT’s real estate
holdings and other small businesses.

As of January 31, 2016, Zedge’s app surpassed 189 million
cumulative installs on Android, iOS and Windows Mobile, increasing from 130
million (+45%) a year earlier and 173 million (+9%) at October 31, 2015. Zedge has averaged among the top thirty most
popular apps in the Google Play store in the U.S. for the last five years. As a result of Zedge’s large, active user
base, it offers advertisers, game developers, musicians and artists a scalable,
non-incentivized, user acquisition platform with global reach.

Zedge’s revenue in 2Q16 was $3.5 million, an increase from $2.4
million (+47.0%) in 2Q15 and from $2.6 million (+37.9%) in 1Q16. The year over year and sequential revenue
increases were driven by continued user growth, increased customer engagement and
increased revenue per impression. Zedge
generated income from operations of $1.7 million compared to a loss from
operations of $610 thousand in the year ago quarter, and income from operations
of $350 thousand in 1Q16.

All Other’s revenue was $4.0 million in 2Q16 compared to $3.0
million (+35.0%) in 2Q15 and $3.1 million (+30.5%) in 1Q16. Zedge and IDT’s real estate holdings generate all
of All Other’s revenue.

All Other’s income from operations, generated primarily by
Zedge, was $1.8 million in 2Q16 compared to a loss from operations of $602
thousand in 2Q15 and income from operations of $430 thousand in 1Q16.

OTHER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Consolidated results for all periods presented include
corporate overhead. In 2Q16, corporate G&A
expense was $2.1 million compared to $2.8 million (-27.4%) in the year ago
quarter and $2.6 million (-19.8%) in the
prior quarter.

2Q16 net income attributable to IDT increased to $4.1
million from $2.5 million in the year ago quarter and decreased from $4.2
million in the prior quarter. The year
over year improvement was driven by Zedge’s increased profitability and the
reduction in corporate G&A expense. Net income attributable to IDT in 2Q16
included income tax expense of $2.0 million compared to $1.9 million in 2Q15
and $2.9 million in 1Q16. Net income in 2Q15 included a gain on the sale
of IDT’s interest in Fabrix Systems of $484 thousand for working capital and
other adjustments.

At January 31, 2016, IDT had $146.3 million in unrestricted
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Additionally, at that date,
IDT reported $88.8 million in current restricted cash and cash equivalents, nearly
all of which represents customer deposits held by IDT’s Gibraltar-based
bank. Current assets totaled $323.5
million and current liabilities were $326.4 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities during 2Q16 was $11.2
million compared to $12.7 million during 2Q15 and $14.0 million in 1Q16. For the same periods, capital expenditures were
$3.7 million compared to $7.8 million and $5.5 million, respectively.

during 2Q16.
