2Q15 OPERATING
RESULTS BY SEGMENT*

TPS

IDT’s Telecom Platform Services (TPS) segment accounted for 98.7%
of IDT’s revenue in 2Q15.  TPS markets
and distributes multiple communications and payment services across four broad
business verticals: Retail Communications, Wholesale Termination Services, Payment
Services and Hosted Platform Solutions.

TPS’ minutes of use increased
to 7.53 billion from 7.36 billion (+2.3%). 
TPS’ 2Q15 revenue was $389.0 million, a decrease from $398.1 million (-2.3%)
in the year ago quarter.  

·        
Retail Communications’ revenue increased to $181.3
million from $169.8 million (+6.8%). Sales of international calling services on
the Boss Revolution platform increased 14.3% year over year primarily due to
growth in the number of active Boss Revolution customers, partially offset by a
decline in revenue per customer.  Boss
Revolution calling services growth more than offset continued declines in
revenue from the sale of traditional disposable prepaid calling cards in the
U.S. and Europe.  Retail Communications’
revenue comprised 46.6% of TPS’ total revenue in 2Q15.

·        
Wholesale Termination Services’ minutes of use
grew by 3.5% compared to the year ago quarter. 
Revenue was $147.8 million, a decrease from $167.8 million (-11.9%) in 2Q14.
 Compared to the year ago quarter,
arbitrage pricing opportunities in Latin America resulting from disparities in
local currency exchange rates continued to decline.  In addition, sales denominated in foreign
currencies, particularly the Euro, were negatively impacted by the stronger
U.S. dollar.  Finally, the overall traffic
mix tilted towards lower revenue but higher margin per minute destinations.  Wholesale Termination Services’ revenue
comprised 38.0% of TPS’ total revenue in 2Q15.

·        
Payment Services’ revenue was $50.0 million, an
increase from $48.9 million (+2.2%) in 2Q14. The year over year increase is due
primarily to more aggressive pricing on international airtime top-up sales. Revenue
from IDT’s international money transfer business was not yet material, although
it contributed to the revenue increase.  Payment
Services revenue comprised 12.8% of total TPS revenue in 2Q15.  

·        
Hosted Platform Solutions’ revenue was $9.9
million, a decrease from $11.6 million           (-14.8%) in 2Q14.  Within IDT’s cable telephony business, IDT
renewed multi-year contracts with key cable telephony customers in the second
half of fiscal 2014, but at lower rates, reflecting the long-term decline in
the underlying costs of hosted telephony services.  Hosted Platform Solutions’ revenue comprised 2.6%
of total TPS revenue in 2Q15.  

 

TPS’ direct cost of revenue as a percentage of TPS’ revenue was
84.2% in 2Q15, an increase of 50 basis points year over year.  This increase was caused primarily by the loss
of revenue from the relatively high margin South American arbitrage
opportunity, by the decline in margin contribution from the cable telephony
business, and by margin pressure on airtime top-up offerings.

TPS’ SG&A expense increased to $50.5 million from $49.5
million (+1.9%) in 2Q14 due primarily to higher marketing and advertising
expense and to higher levels of investment in the Company’s international money
transfer service business.

TPS’ Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $11.1 million from $15.5
million (-28.1%) in 2Q14, primarily reflecting the decrease in Wholesale
Termination Services and Hosted Platform Solutions’ revenue and the increase in
SG&A expense.

TPS’ depreciation and amortization expense increased to
$3.9 million compared to $3.4 million (+15.0%) in 2Q14, due to increased capital
investment in recent quarters in new products, including IDT Messaging,
Net2Phone Office, and feature-rich enhancements to the Boss Revolution app.

TPS’ income from operations in 2Q15 decreased to $6.9
million from $12.4 million (-44.6%) in 2Q14.

CPS

Consumer Phone Services (CPS) sells local and long distance
services in the United States.  CPS has been in harvest mode since fiscal
2006 — maximizing revenue from current customers while maintaining SG&A
and other expenses at the minimum levels essential to operate the business. 

CPS’ revenue in 2Q15 was $2.2
million compared to $2.9 million (-21.3%) in 2Q14.  Income from operations was $307 thousand
compared to $421 thousand.  The results
were in line with expectations.

All Other

All Other’s results for 2Q15
include Zedge – a popular platform for mobile phone consumers to obtain free customization
content, IDT’s real estate holdings and other small businesses.  Zedge’s results were previously reported
separately.  All Other’s results
previously included Fabrix, a software development company specializing in
highly efficient cloud-based video processing, storage and delivery.  In early October 2014, IDT sold its majority
stake in Fabrix.  Consequently, Fabrix’s
operations were consolidated in all prior periods up to the first two months of
1Q15, at which point Fabrix was deconsolidated.  

Zedge’s app, available on
Android, iOS and Windows Mobile, boasts more than 130 million installs.  Zedge has averaged among the top twenty most
popular apps in the Google Play store in the U.S. for the last five years and
is currently in the top five most popular free apps in the iTunes Entertainment
category.  As a result of Zedge’s large,
active user base, it is able to offer advertisers, game developers, musicians
and artists a scalable, non-incentivized, user acquisition platform with global
reach. Zedge’s revenue was $2.4 million, a 39.0% increase from $1.7 million in
2Q14. 

All Other’s revenue, including Zedge, was $3.0 million, a decrease
from $5.5 million (-45.9%) in 2Q14.  In
the year ago quarter, Fabrix contributed $3.3 million to All Other’s aggregate revenue.  All Other’s loss from operations was $602
thousand compared to a loss from operations of $1.3 million in 2Q14, which
included a loss from operations of $1.1 million generated by Fabrix.

OTHER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS*

Consolidated results for all periods presented include
corporate overhead.  In 2Q15, Corporate general
& administrative expense decreased to $2.8 million compared to $3.9 million
(-27.2%) in the year ago quarter.

Following the close of 2Q15, IDT completed a reduction of approximately
7% in its global compensation costs. 
This cost-cutting initiative is expected to reduce IDT’s current annual
SG&A run rate by approximately $10 million. 
As a result of this reduction in headcount, the Company expects to incur
severance expense of approximately $6.6 million in 3Q15.

Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis in 2Q15 was $8.0
million compared to $11.3 million in 2Q14, reflecting primarily the decline in
Adjusted EBITDA generated by TPS, partially offset by the reduction in
corporate G&A expense.  Income from
operations was $3.7 million compared to $7.6 million in 2Q14.

Net income in 2Q15 was $2.5 million and diluted EPS was
$0.11, unchanged from the year ago quarter. 

As of January 31, 2015, IDT had $152.2
million in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. In
addition, IDT had $69.2 million in current restricted cash and cash equivalents,
which included $65.7 million in customer deposits held by IDT’s Gibraltar-based
bank.  Notes payable, consisting of a mortgage
on real estate, totaled $6.5 million.  Total
current assets were $334.1 million and total current liabilities were $331.4
million.

Net cash provided by operating activities during 2Q15 was
$12.7 million, compared to net cash used by operating activities of $1.9
million during 2Q14.  For the same
periods, capital expenditures were $7.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

DIVIDENDS

Following the sale of its Fabrix Systems business, IDT paid
special dividends to holders of its Class A and Class B common stock, of $0.68 per
share and $0.64 per share in November 2014 and January 2015, respectively.  Separately, in December 2014, the Company
raised its quarterly dividend to $0.18 per share.  In aggregate, IDT distributed $34.9 million
to its shareholders during 2Q15.

The Board of Directors of IDT has declared a dividend of
$0.18 per share for the second quarter of its fiscal year 2015.  The dividend will be paid on or about March
27, 2015 to Class A and Class B common stockholders of record as of the close
of business on March 20, 2015. The ex-dividend date will be March 18, 2015. This
distribution will be treated as an ordinary dividend for tax purposes.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the Second Quarter Fiscal 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 second quarters of fiscal 2015 and 2014, 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, and severance expense, and subtract the gain on the sale of interest in Fabrix Systems Ltd. and other operating gains.

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

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 2015 and fiscal 2014 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 or 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 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.

Gain on the sale of interest in Fabrix Systems Ltd. and other operating gains, net, which are components of income (loss) from operations, are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS. From time-to-time, IDT will select and incubate promising early stage businesses outside of its core business for eventual sale or spin-off to its stockholders. Also, IDT has insurance claims and settlements of claims from time-to-time, and has a number of matters under litigation. However, these gains and losses 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 various valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of types of awards 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 Opens Door to Direct U.S.-Cuba Telephony

IDT Corporation (NYSE:IDT), a leading provider of international
telephony and payment services and the largest U.S. based carrier of
international long distance calls, said today that it has reached an
agreement with Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba S.A. (ETECSA),
Cuba’s national telecom provider, to exchange international long
distance voice traffic between the United States and Cuba directly.

The agreement was filed today with the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and is subject to FCC review for a period of ten days.

If the FCC allows the agreement to take effect as expected, IDT will be
the only U.S. carrier to have a direct interconnection into Cuba.

“We are very pleased to have reached this groundbreaking agreement with
ETECSA. This is an important first step in the liberalization of
telecommunications between the U.S. and Cuba,” said Bill Pereira, Chief
Executive Officer of IDT Telecom. “Ultimately, the agreement will help
make it easier and more affordable for our customers to call friends and
family in Cuba.”

The announcement follows on the heels of revisions to the Cuban Assets
Control Regulations announced by the U.S. government earlier this month.
