* 14th Consecutive Quarter of Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth
* Expects to Resume Quarterly Dividend at $0.15 in Q1 Fiscal 2014 

§     NEWARK, NJ — October 3, 2013:  IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT) reported a diluted loss per share of $0.17 and Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.13 for its fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the three months ended July 31, 2013.  For FY 2013, diluted EPS was $0.52 and Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $1.09.

 

Howard Jonas, IDT’s Chairman and CEO, said, “IDT delivered another strong quarter to round out a successful year.  We continued our string of quarterly revenue growth compared to the year ago period while significantly improving Adjusted EBITDA.  Given the consistently favorable results in recent quarters and the underlying strength of our businesses, the Board intends to resume paying a quarterly dividend with a $0.15 per share payment in December for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 provided that the quarter’s results are in line with expectations.”  In November 2012, IDT paid its 2013 fiscal year dividends in advance with a special dividend of $0.60 per share.

“Zedge and Fabrix Systems, our primary non-telecom businesses, are extremely well positioned in today’s marketplace — actively participating in consumer trends around mobile content acquisition and cloud-based storage, respectively,” Mr. Jonas continued.  “We expect that these businesses will follow the successful paths of other businesses incubated within IDT, such as Net2Phone, IDT Entertainment, Genie Energy and Straight Path Communications, to create significant IDT shareholder value through sales, spin-offs or IPOs.  With that in mind, we have already begun to explore strategic options for Zedge.”

§     NOTES:

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 operating 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.

IDT’s operating results for fiscal 2013 and all prior periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the spin-off of Genie Energy in October 2011 and the spin-off of Straight Path Communications Inc. in July 2013. Genie Energy and Straight Path Communications Inc. are accounted as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

4Q13 AND FULL FISCAL YEAR 2013 OPERATING RESULTS BY SEGMENT

TPS

IDT’s Telecom Platform Services (TPS) segment accounted for 98% of IDT’s revenue in FY 2013 and FY 2012.  The businesses within TPS market and distribute 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 in 4Q13 d
ecreased to 7.3 billion from 8.2 billion in 4Q12 (-11.0%) and 7.8 billion in 3Q13 (-7.1%).  The decreases primarily reflect the impact of market price increases in industry-wide termination rates into several South Asian nations. The price increases were largely imposed during 3Q13 and resulted in significant reductions in minutes of use and revenues on high volume, low margin routes to these destinations.  Sequentially, minutes of use decreased despite the fact that 4Q13 had three more days than 3Q13.  For FY 2013, minutes of use increased 6.1% to 32.6 billion from 30.8 billion in FY 2012, as the growth in other portions of the business more than offset the decline to those South Asian nations in the second half of the fiscal year. The South Asia market price increases had little effect on bottom line economics, as gross profit dollars per minute to these destinations have remained relatively stable. 

TPS’ revenue in 4Q13 increased to $403.9 million compared to $378.3 million (+6.8%) in the year ago quarter and $388.9 million (+3.9%) in the prior quarter reflecting, in part, the three additional days in 4Q13 compared to 3Q13.  For FY 2013, revenue increased by 7.5% to $1,587.6 million from $1,477.1 million in FY 2012. 

 

·         Retail Communications’ revenue in 4Q13 increased to $176.3 million compared to $147.0 million (+19.9%) in 4Q12 and $165.4 million (+6.6%) in 3Q13. Increases in sales of PIN-less calling services on the Boss Revolution platform continued to more than offset declines in sales of traditional disposable calling cards.  In FY 2013, Retail Communications’ revenue increased 19.0% to $656.5 million from $551.7 million in FY 2012.  Retail Communications comprised 43.7% of TPS’ total revenue in 4Q13.

·         Wholesale Termination Services’ revenue in 4Q13 decreased to $164.5 million from $175.2 million (-6.1%) in 4Q12, but increased from $159.3 million (+3.3%) in 3Q13.  The year over year decrease reflects the aforementioned reduction in traffic to certain South Asian destinations. The sequential increase reflects, in part, the additional three calendar days in IDT’s 4Q13 compared to 3Q13.  In FY 2013, Wholesale Termination Services’ revenue decreased 3.9% to $687.6 million from $715.4 million in FY 2012. Wholesale Termination Services’ revenue comprised 40.7% of TPS’ total revenue in 4Q13.

·         Payment Services’ revenue in 4Q13 increased to $49.7 million from $42.3 million (+17.3%) in 4Q12, but decreased from $51.3 million (-3.2%) in 3Q13.  Payment Services revenue for FY 2013 increased 25.1% to $191.3 million from $153.0 million in FY 2012. The year over year increases primarily reflect continued growth of international airtime top-up.  Payment Services revenue comprised 12.3% of total TPS revenue in 4Q13.

·         Hosted Platform Solutions’ revenue in 4Q13 decreased to $13.4 million from $13.8 million (-2.9%) in 4Q12, but increased from $12.9 million (+3.4%) in 3Q13.  The majority of Hosted Platform Solutions revenue is generated by IDT’s cable telephony business which is in harvest mode.  In FY 2013, Hosted Platform Solutions’ revenue decreased 8.4% to $52.3 million from $57.0 million in FY 2012.  Hosted Platform Services’ revenue comprised 3.3% of total TPS revenue in 4Q13.

For FY 2014, IDT anticipates that TPS revenue will continue to increase reflecting both continued growth of retail calling services and expansion of payment services.

TPS’ direct cost of revenue expressed as a percentage of revenue in 4Q13 improved slightly to 84.8% from 85.0% in 4Q12 and deteriorated slightly compared to 84.6% in 3Q13.  For FY 2013, TPS’ direct cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue improved to 84.8% from 85.2% in FY 2012. 

TPS’ 4Q13 SG&A expense increased to $48.0 million from $46.7 million (+2.9%) in 4Q12 and $46.8 million (+2.5%) in 3Q13.  Expressed as a percentage of TPS’ revenue, SG&A declined to 11.9% from 12.3% in 4Q12 and 12.0% in 3Q13, primarily reflecting the scalability of calling and payment services provided over the Boss Revolution platform.  For FY 2013, SG&A expense totaled $189.3 million, or 11.9% of TPS’ revenue, compared to $182.2 million, or 12.3% of TPS’ revenue in FY 2012.

§     In FY 2014, IDT expects TPS’ SG&A expense as a percentage of its revenue to slightly increase, as the Company continues its investment in several growth initiatives including further expansion of IDT Telecom’s retail sales force, increased marketing of its existing Boss Revolution suite of products, and introduction of new payment offerings including the roll-out of money remittance services.  

TPS’ Adjusted EBITDA in 4Q13 increased to $13.4 million from $10.2 million (+31.8%) in 4Q12 and $13.0 million (+2.9%) in 3Q13.  For FY 2013, Adjusted EBITDA increased 42.8% to $51.6 million from $36.1 million in FY 2012 on the strength of robust revenue growth in Retail Communications.

TPS’ income from operations increased to $10.1 million in 4Q13 from $6.9 million (+46.1%) in 4Q12, primarily on the strength of continued revenue growth within Retail Communications.  Compared to the prior quarter, income from operations decreased 47.8% from $19.3 million, as 3Q13 results included a non-routine gain of $9.6 million for reversals of previous accruals made for potential litigation settlements.  For FY 2013, TPS’ income from operations increased to $48.5 million from $5.9 million in FY 2012.  TPS’ income from operations in FY 2013 included the $9.6 million gain from the accrual reversal described above, and TPS’ income from operations in FY 2012 included non-routine charges of $16.0 million for litigation related matters.

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’ 4Q13 revenue was $3.4 million, a 22.9% decrease from $4.4 million in the year ago quarter and unchanged compared to the prior quarter.  For FY 2013, revenue decreased 24.8% to $14.5 million from $19.3 million in FY 2012. Income from operations in 4Q13 decreased to $0.4 million from $0.9 million in the year ago quarter, and increased from $0.3 million in the prior quarter.  For FY 2013, income from operations decreased 55.1% to $1.8 million from $4.1 million
in FY 2012. Revenue and income from operations were in line with management expectations.

Zedge

Zedge provides consumers with free, high quality mobile games, ringtones and wallpapers accessible from its mobile app, available on both iTunes and Google Play, and its website.  The Zedge app has been installed more than 75 million times and has been ranked in the “Top 15” most popular apps in the Google Play store for the last three years. Zedge’s reach and popularity offers advertisers, game developers, musicians, and artists a scalable, non-incentivized, user acquisition platform with global reach.

On August 28, 2013, IDT announced that it has started exploring strategic alternatives for Zedge, including a potential spin-off or IPO.   IDT owns approximately 83.1% (69% on a fully diluted basis) of Zedge.

Zedge generates revenues by offering advertisers, game publishers and marketers exposure to its customer base via advertising inventory that it sells on its mobile apps and website.  Zedge’s revenue increased to $1.6 million in 4Q13, compared to $1.0 million in 4Q12 and $1.4 million in 3Q13.  For FY 2013, Zedge’s revenue was $5.8 million compared to $3.8 million in FY 2012.  The increases primarily reflect the growth in Zedge’s user base, driven by the Android app, which increased to 30.6 million current installs as of July 31, 2013, compared to 18.7 million installs a year earlier. 

Zedge’s 4Q13 SG&A expense was $1.1 million, compared to $0.7 million in the year ago quarter and $0.9 million in the prior quarter.  The increases were primarily due to expansion of the engineering staff. For FY 2013, Zedge’s SG&A expense was $3.8 million compared to $2.7 million in FY 2012.

Zedge’s 4Q13 Adjusted EBITDA was $0.4 million, compared to $0.1 million in the year ago quarter and $0.3 million in the prior quarter. For FY 2013, Zedge’s Adjusted EBITDA was $1.1 million compared to $0.4 million in FY 2012.  

Zedge’s income from operations in 4Q13 was $0.2 million compared to a loss from operations of $0.1 million in the year ago quarter and income from operations of $0.1 million in the prior quarter. For FY 2013, Zedge’s income from operations was $0.3 million compared to a loss from operations of $0.2 million in FY 2012. The improvement in operating income primarily reflects the revenue increases during the periods.

ALL OTHER

All Other includes Fabrix, a software development company specializing in highly efficient cloud-based video processing, storage and delivery, IDT’s real estate holdings and other small businesses.

All Other’s 4Q13 revenue increased to $3.2 million from $1.1 million in the year ago quarter and was basically unchanged compared to the prior quarter.  For FY 2013, revenue was $12.7 million compared to $6.1 million in FY 2012.  The year over year increase was due to Fabrix’s product sales to cable system operators and other media content providers, who utilize Fabrix’s software to efficiently store, process and distribute video for both remote DVR and deep storage applications. 

All Other’s direct cost of revenue expressed as a percentage of revenue improved to 18.4% in 4Q13 from 30.9% in 4Q12, but deteriorated from 11.3% in the prior quarter.  For FY 2013, direct cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 13.2% compared to 20.6% in FY 2012.

Research and development expense, which is entirely generated by Fabrix, was $2.2 million in 4Q13 compared to $1.2 million in the year ago quarter and $1.7 million in the prior quarter.  For FY 2013, R&D expense was $7.2 million compared to $4.6 million in FY 2012.

All Other’s Adjusted EBITDA in 4Q13 was a loss of $1.1 million, compared to a loss of $1.6 million in the year ago quarter and a loss of $0.2 million in 3Q13.  For FY 2013, the Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased to $1.2 million from $2.2 million in FY 2012 on the strength of Fabrix’ revenue growth.

In 4Q13, All Other recorded an impairment write-down of $4.4 million on IDT’s former headquarters building at 520 Broad Street in Newark, New Jersey. Including the impact of this impairment, All Other’s loss from operations in 4Q13 was $5.9 million, compared to a loss from operations of $2.0 million in the year ago quarter and a loss from operations of $0.7 million in the prior quarter.

IDT anticipates resuming regular quarterly dividends commencing with a $0.15 payment for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, which it expects to pay in December 2013, provided that the first quarter’s results are consistent with the Company’s expectations.

IDT to Pursue Strategic Alternatives for Zedge

IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT) announced today that its Board of Directors
had instructed management to determine and pursue strategic alternatives
to unlock the value in its Zedge subsidiary, including a spinoff or IPO
of the Company. IDT intends to retain financial advisors to assist it in

considering his previous success in realizing value from IDT’s
incubations.”

become the de-facto standard for mobile content acquisition,” said
Howard Jonas, IDT’s Chairman and CEO. “Zedge has an incredibly talented
team, market leading position and outstanding technology. The
marketplace does not currently provide fair value for Zedge within the

stockholders.”

IDT Launches Boss Revolution International Money Transfer

New Service Enables Transfer of Funds Overseas Reliably, Affordably
and Conveniently

IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT) today announced that its subsidiary, IDT
Payment Services, a licensed money transmitter, has launched an
international money transfer service over its flagship Boss Revolution
payment platform. Boss Revolution customers can now send money overseas
reliably, affordably and conveniently.

“Millions of customers trust Boss Revolution for our high quality
international long distance calling and airtime top-up services,” said
Bill Pereira, CEO of IDT Telecom. “We are introducing the Boss
Revolution money transfer service with the same high standards of
reliability, affordability and convenience. Boss Revolution customers
now can also send money directly to family and friends knowing that
their funds will arrive securely and quickly. And, as always, they do
not need a credit card or bank account to use any Boss Revolution
service.”

Boss Revolution currently offers money transfer to recipients in eight
Latin American countries: Mexico, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador
Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama. Within a year, Boss
Revolution money transfer is expected to expand to include most of the
remaining countries in Latin America, over twenty African nations, and
key destinations in Asia including the Philippines, China and Vietnam.

In the eight currently available Latin American countries, Boss
Revolution has over 6,000 locations providing points of payment
including bank branches and trusted retailers. By the end of this year,
recipients will be able to collect funds at any one of over 21,000
points of payment in Latin America alone.

Boss Revolution customers will be able to select from a comprehensive
portfolio of overseas payment options at many of these payment locations
including cash pick-up, direct deposit, or home delivery where available.

“IDT Payment Services Inc. is initially launching its money transfer
service in New Jersey. It is currently licensed to provide money
remittance in 37 states, and we expect it to be licensed and operating
in nearly every state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico by the
end of the year,” said Alfredo O’Hagan, Senior Vice President of
Consumer Payments at IDT Telecom.

Boss Revolution’s payment service offerings currently include domestic
and international airtime top-up, and, most recently, domestic bill
payment. In the coming months, additional products and services will be
offered over the Boss Revolution payments platform to provide retailers
and customers with a full suite of convenient and affordable telephony
and payment services accessible to both banked and un-banked customers.

IDT Corporation Announces Payment of Special Dividend; Anticipated Resumption of Quarterly Dividends in Fiscal 2014

The Board of Directors of IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT) today declared a
special dividend of $0.08 per share to holders of its Class A and Class
B common stock. IDT also announced that it expects to resume payment of
regular quarterly dividends commencing with the first quarter of its
2014 fiscal year (the three months ending October 31, 2013) which it
expects to pay in December 2013. In November 2012, IDT paid its 2013
fiscal year dividends in advance with a special dividend of $0.60 per
share.

“IDT has continued to grow and generate strong cash flow throughout
2013. In light of these positive trends, and the impressive performance
across the Company’s divisions and business units, we are declaring this
special year-end dividend,” said Howard Jonas, IDT’s Chairman and CEO.

“We expect to resume regular quarterly dividends for fiscal 2014, and
will establish the quarterly dividend amount based on the Company’s
performance and outlook during the first quarter,” Mr. Jonas added. “In
addition, we expect to complete the spin-off of Straight Path
Communications (NYSE MKT: STRP) to our stockholders on July 31st, and
thereby continue to create and share value with IDT stockholders whether
through the increased market value of our company, paying cash
dividends, and stock repurchases or through distributing separate
businesses through spin-offs such as Genie Energy (NYSE: GNE), CTM Media
(CTMMA, CTMMB) and now Straight Path. Looking ahead, we expect to
continue to create value for our stockholders through additional
shareholder friendly actions.”

The special dividend will be paid on September 10, 2013 to stockholders
of record as of the close of business on August 30, 2013. The
ex-dividend date will be August 28, 2013.

The distribution will be treated as an ordinary dividend for tax
purposes.

  • Beginning on July 23rd, 2013, the entitlement to shares of SPCI Class B common stock will trade on the NYSE MKT “when issued” market with the ticker symbol STRP WI.

IDT Corporation Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2013 Results

NEWARK, NJ — June 6, 2013:  IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT) reported diluted EPS of $0.39 and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.31 on revenue of $397.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $9.1 million for its third quarter of fiscal 2013 (3Q13), the three months ended April 30, 2013. 

Howard Jonas, IDT’s Chairman and CEO, said, “Growth in the third quarter was fueled by IDT Telecom’s Retail Communications and Payment Services offerings.  We are pleased by the continued success of our retail offerings, and are executing on our plans to further expand our portfolio of payment services.  We have just soft-launched domestic bill payment services and a prepaid virtual Visa offering, and we expect to begin rolling out international money remittance services on a limited basis in the fourth quarter.

 “Given the consistently strong performance of IDT during the first three quarters of fiscal 2013 and the solid execution on our growth initiatives, IDT is in a strong position to resume paying a regular quarterly dividend to its stock holders in fiscal 2014, since we prepaid the fiscal year 2013 dividend earlier this fiscal year. We are also moving forward on the spin-off of Straight Path Communications as part of our continuing efforts to create shareholder value,” Jonas concluded.

NOTES:

Adjusted EBITDA,  non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS for all periods presented are non-GAAP measures intended to provide useful information that may be more indicative of IDT’s or the relevant segment’s core operating results than the nearest GAAP measures.  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.

IDT’s operating results for all prior periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the spin-off of Genie Energy which was effected in October 2011. Genie Energy is accounted for as discontinued operations for all periods presented. 

OPERATING RESULTS BY SEGMENT

TPS  

Telecom Platform Services (TPS), which accounted for 97.9% of IDT’s revenue in 3Q13, markets and distributes multiple communications and payment services across four business verticals: Retail Communications, Wholesale Termination Services, Payment Services and Hosted Platform Solutions.

TPS’ revenue in 3Q13 increased 4.5% year over year and decreased 3.4% sequentially, to $388.9 million.  The overall sequential decrease reflects, for the most part, the fact that that the third quarter of IDT’s fiscal year contains three fewer days than the second quarter.  The second quarter also includes the holiday season, which is a significant seasonal driver of international long distance traffic.

·         Retail Communications’ revenue increased 19.1% year over year and 2.7% sequentially to $165.4 million. Both year over year and sequentially, increased sales of Boss Revolution Pinless calling services in the U.S. more than offset declines in sales of other retail offerings, including traditional calling cards sold in the US and Europe.  Retail Communications’ revenue constituted 42.5% of total TPS revenue in 3Q13. 

·    &
nbsp;   
Wholesale Termination Services’ revenue decreased 11.4% year over year and 12.6% sequentially to $159.3 million.  Wholesale minutes of use also declined year over year and sequentially.  The declines in both revenue and minutes were the result of an industry-wide increase in termination rates to certain key destinations which, while improving revenue per minute, resulted in a decline in minutes of use.  We expect the net impact of such market pricing movements for the next few months to continue to be neutral to positive to our operating profit, despite potentially impacting negatively our top line revenue and minutes. The sequential declines in revenue and minutes of use also reflect, in part, the fact that the third quarter has three fewer days than the second quarter.  Wholesale Termination Services’ revenue constituted 41.0% of total TPS revenue in 3Q13. 

·         Payment Services’ revenue increased 30.2% year over year and 10.1% sequentially to $51.3 million, primarily reflecting continued growth of international mobile top-up (IMTU) sales, including IMTU sales over the Boss Revolution payment platform.  Payment Services’ revenue constituted 13.2% of total TPS revenue in 3Q13.

·         Hosted Platform Solutions’ revenue declined 7.4% year over year and increased 0.1% sequentially to $12.9 million. Year over year, the decline is due to our cable telephony service offering, which has been in harvest mode. Hosted Platform Solutions’ revenue constituted 3.3% of total TPS revenue in 3Q13.

TPS’ direct cost of revenues was $329.1 million, a 3.7% increase year over year and a 3.8% decrease sequentially.  Direct cost as a percentage of revenues decreased to 84.6% in 3Q13, compared to 85.3% in 3Q12 and 84.9% in 2Q13.  The year over year and sequential decreases were driven primarily by the growth of Retail Communications revenue compared to the decrease in Wholesale Termination Services revenue, resulting in a positive revenue mix shift.

TPS’ SG&A expense was $46.8 million, a 4.2% increase year over year and a 1.0% decrease sequentially.  The year over year increase was due primarily to an increase in credit card processing fees associated with distributors, retailers and customers who re-charge or top-up their accounts with a credit card, while the sequential decrease was due primarily to a decline in legal expenses.  IDT continues to expect that TPS’ SG&A expense will increase at a more rapid pace in upcoming quarters as it continues to roll out new payment products and services, and increases the scope of sales and marketing activities.  As a percentage of TPS’ revenue, TPS’ SG&A expense was 12.0% compared to 12.1% in 3Q12 and 11.8% in 2Q13.

TPS’ Adjusted EBITDA was $13.0 million, a 31.5% increase year over year and a 2.2% decrease sequentially.  Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue was 3.3%, compared to 2.7% in 3Q12, and 3.3% in 2Q13. The year over year improvement primarily reflects the continued growth in top line revenue and margin expansion, while the sequential decrease primarily reflects the impact of having three fewer days in 3Q13 compared to 2Q13.

TPS’ depreciation and amortization expense was $3.3 million, a 7.3% decrease year over year and a 1.6% increase sequentially.  The year over year decrease reflects the deployment of technologies that require less CAPEX in recent years, and the full depreciation of more equipment.  The sequential increase reflects a change in the estimated useful lives of certain equipment which increased the depreciation on these assets.

TPS’ income from operations was $19.3 million, compared to a loss from operations of $0.1 million in 3Q12, and income from operations of $10.1 million in 2Q13.  Income from operations in 3Q13 included a gain of $9.6 million reflecting reversals of previous accruals made for potential legal settlements.  In 3Q12, income from operations included a $6.5 million charge related to four legal matters.

CPS

Consumer Phone Services (CPS) sells local and long distance services.  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’ 3Q13 revenue was $3.4 million, compared to $4.6 million in the year ago quarter and $3.7 million in the prior quarter.  Income from operations was $0.3 million, $1.0 million and $0.4 million for the same periods, respectively.  The year over year declines in revenue and income from operations were in line with management’s expectations.

ALL OTHER

All Other includes: Fabrix, a software development company specializing in highly efficient cloud-based video processing, storage and delivery; Zedge, a service providing mobile games and personalization content such as ringtones and wallpapers through Android and iOS apps and IDT’s real estate holdings.  All Other also includes Straight Path Communications, Inc. (SPCI), which holds IDT’s interests in Straight Path Spectrum, which holds, leases and markets fixed wireless spectrum licenses, and Straight Path IP Group, which holds intellectual property primarily related to communications over the Internet and the licensing and other businesses related to this intellectual property.  IDT has announced its intention to spin off SPCI to its shareholders and, in connection with the spin-off, filed an initial Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

All Other’s 3Q13 revenue was $4.9 million, a 60.1% increase compared to the year ago quarter and a 6.9% decrease sequentially.  The year over year increases were attributable primarily to Fabrix and Zedge.  The sequential decrease reflects declines in revenue generated by Fabrix and Zedge. All Other’s 3Q13 loss from operations was $1.6 million, compared to income from operations of $4.3 million in 3Q12 and a loss from operations of $0.8 million in 2Q13. Income from operations in 3Q12 included a $5.3 million gain recorded by Straight Path Spectrum on the sale of rights in wireless spectrum licenses.

FABRIX:  Fabrix’s revenue was $2.6 million in 3Q13 compared to $1.3 million in 3Q12 and $2.8 million in 2Q13.  Fabrix’s revenue is generally recognized from the date on which delivered orders are accepted by the customer over the term of the related software support agreements.

ZEDGE:  As of May 31st, Zedge has surpassed 62 million downloads on Android, and remains among the top fifteen most popular free apps available in Google Play.  The Zedge iOS app, launched in December, has been installed more than 3 million times.  In 4Q13, Zedge expects to offer ringtones in the iOS app which will help drive additional customer growth.  On Android, game publishers continue turning to Zedge for user acquisition due to Zedge’s expertise in non-incentivized games discovery.
Zedge generated revenue of $1.4 million in 3Q13 compared to $0.9 million in 3Q12 and $1.6 million in 2Q13.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS AND BALANCE SHEET

Corporate G&A expense in 3Q13 was $3.4 million, including $0.9 million in non-cash compensation.  G&A expense increased 13.4% year over year and decreased 23.9% sequentially.  The year over year increase reflects primarily an increase in stock based compensation due to a July 2012 grant.  The sequential decrease is due primarily to a $0.9 million donation to the IDT Charitable Foundation in 2Q13.

Provision for income taxes in 3Q13 was $7.6 million compared to a benefit from income taxes of $2.3 million in the year ago quarter and provision for income taxes of $3.1 million in 2Q13.  In 4Q12, IDT reversed a portion of the valuation allowance that had been applied against its U.S. deferred income tax assets due to the current and expected future profitability of its operations in the United States.  Because of this reversal, IDT records a provision for federal income tax in periods when it has pretax income.  Actual U.S. federal cash taxes paid are expected to be minimal for the foreseeable future, as IDT continues to utilize its NOLs.  As of April 30, 2013, IDT had $25.1 million in net deferred income tax assets.  NOLs for U.S. taxes totaled $168 million as of April 30, 2013.  Following the spin-off of SPCI, this amount will not change significantly.  

Net income attributable to IDT in 3Q13 was $8.7 million, compared to $3.0 million in both the year ago and sequential quarters.

Non-GAAP net income and diluted non-GAAP EPS exclude certain components of GAAP net income (loss) that are not necessarily indicative of ongoing core operations.  The excluded components are detailed in the reconciliation provided at the end of this release.  Non-GAAP net income was $6.9 million in 3Q13, compared to $9.8 million in the year ago quarter and $6.4 million in the prior quarter.  Diluted non-GAAP EPS was $0.31 in 3Q13 compared to $0.44 in the year ago quarter and $0.29 in the prior quarter. 

As of April 30, 2013, IDT had $162.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. In addition, IDT had an aggregate of $38.5 million of current and long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents, which included $32.0 million in customer deposits and other restricted balances held by IDT’s Gibraltar based bank. 

On May 1, 2013, the mortgage note on IDT’s 520 Broad Street building of $21.1 million was paid in full. As of April 30, 2013, the note payable balance was included in current liabilities in IDT’s consolidated balance sheet.

OPERATING RESULTS BY SEGMENT

TPS  

Telecom Platform Services (TPS), which accounted for 97.8% of IDT’s revenue in 2Q13, markets and distributes multiple communications and payment services across four business verticals: Retail Communications, Wholesale Termination Services, Payment Services and Hosted Platform Solutions.

TPS’ revenue in 2Q13 increased 12.6% year over year and 2.7% sequentially, to $402.8 million.

  • Retail Communications revenue increased 21.1% year over year and 4.8% sequentially to $161.1 million. Year over year, sales of pin-less calling services over the Boss Revolution platform continued to increase very strongly, as did sales from products distributed through large nationwide retail partners.  These gains more than offset declines in sales of traditional disposable calling cards, sales of IDT’s PennyTalk calling service, and retail sales in Europe and South America.  Retail Communications revenue constituted 40.0% of total TPS revenue in 2Q13. 
  • Wholesale Termination Services revenue increased 4.8% year over year and 0.3% sequentially to $182.2 million.  Continued growth in minutes of use more than offset further declines in revenue per minute.  Wholesale Termination Services revenue constituted 45.2% of total TPS revenue in 2Q13. 
  • Payment Services revenue increased 27.9% year over year and 6.5% sequentially to $46.6 million primarily reflecting continued growth of international mobile top-up (IMTU) sales.  Payment Services revenue constituted 11.6% of total TPS revenue in 2Q13.

    e. Hosted Platform Solutions revenue constituted 3.2% of total TPS revenue in 2Q13.

TPS’ gross profit in 2Q13 was $60.6 million, an increase of 12.3% year over year and 2.7% sequentially. Gross profit growth was led by sales of Boss Revolution pin-less calling services and IMTU, which more than offset the continued decline in gross profit generated by sales of traditional retail calling cards and other retail products.

TPS’ gross margin in 2Q13 was 15.1%, unchanged compared to both the year ago and prior quarters.  Within Retail Communications, gross margin continued to improve on Boss Revolution sales, but was offset primarily by weakening margin from sales of traditional prepaid calling cards.

TPS’ SG&A expense was $47.3 million, a 3.8% increase compared to 2Q12 and 0.5% increase compared to 1Q13.  IDT expects that TPS’ SG&A expense will increase at a more rapid pace during the remainder of fiscal 2013, as the spending for previously announced product development and enhancements ramps up.  As a percentage of TPS revenue, TPS’ SG&A expense was 11.8%, a decline of 100 basis points compared to the year ago quarter and a decline of  20 basis points sequentially.

TPS’ Adjusted EBITDA in 2Q13 was $13.3 million, a 58.6% increase year over year and an 11.4% increase sequentially, primarily as a result of increased revenue and gross profit generated by Boss Revolution, IMTU and Wholesale Termination Services.

TPS’ depreciation and amortization expense decreased year over year by 10.6% to $3.2 million.  Over the past several years, IDT has deployed technologies that required less CAPEX, and more of its equipment has been fully depreciated. 

TPS’ income from operations was $10.1 million, a 54.3% increase compared to income from operations of $6.5 million in 2Q12, which included a gain of $1.8 million from a settlement with a former cable telephony customer.  In 1Q13, TPS’ income from operations was $9.0 million including a loss of $0.4 million stemming from a legal settlement.

CPS

Consumer Phone Services (CPS) sells local and long distance services.  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’ 2Q13 revenue was $3.7 million, compared to $5.0 million in the year ago quarter and $4.0 million in the prior quarter.  Income from operations was $0.4 million, $1.0 million and $0.6 million for the same periods, respectively.  The year over year declines in revenue and income from operations were in line with management’s expectations.

ALL OTHER

All Other includes: Fabrix, a software development company specializing in highly efficient cloud-based video processing, storage and delivery; Zedge, a service providing mobile games and personalization content such as ringtones and wallpapers through an Android and iOS app; IDT Spectrum, which holds, leases and sells fixed wireless spectrum; ICTI, which licenses and enforces intellectual property rights primarily related to Voice-over-Internet Protocol technology; and IDT’s real estate holdings.

All Other’s 2Q13 revenue was $5.2 million, an 80.5% increase compared to the year ago quarter and a 14.9% increase sequentially.  The increases were attributable primarily to Fabrix and Zedge.  All Other’s loss from operations was $0.8 million, compared to losses from operations of $0.3 million in the year ago quarter and $1.6 million in 1Q13.

FABRIX:  Fabrix’s revenue was $2.8 million in 2Q13 compared to $1.0 million in 2Q12 and $2.4 million in 1Q13.  Fabrix’s revenue is generally recognized from the date on which delivered orders are accepted by the customer over the term of the related software support agreements.

ZEDGE:  Zedge has now surpassed 55 million downloads on Android, and is among the top twenty most popular free apps available in Google Play.  In December, Zedge launched its iOS app, which has since been installed more than 1.5 million times.  Zedge expects to begin including ringtones in its iOS app during 3Q13. On the Android platform, Zedge is focused on enhancing its mobile game discovery features.  Zedge generated revenue of $1.6 million in 2Q13 compared to $1.0 million in 2Q12 and $1.2 million in 1Q13.

ICTI:  In the first half of fiscal 2013, ICTI reached confidential settlement agreements with each of the defendants against whom it had filed complaints in January 2012, claiming infringement of a number of its key patents. The settlements came after the presiding judge in the U.S. District Court issued an Opinion and Order favorable to ICTI. ICTI reported revenue of $0.1 million in 2Q13.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS AND BALANCE SHEET

Corporate G&A expense was $4.4 million in 2Q13, a 36.2% increase compared to the year ago quarter and a 60.1% increase sequentially, reflecting, in part, the impact of a $0.9 million donation to the IDT Charitable Foundation and an increase in stock-based compensation.

Provision for income taxes in 2Q13 was $3.1 million compared to a benefit from income taxes of $0.7 million in the year ago quarter and provision for income taxes of $2.1 million in 1Q13.  In 4Q12, IDT reversed a portion of the valuation allowance that had been applied against its U.S. deferred income tax assets due to the current and expected future profitability of its operations in the United States.  Because of this reversal, IDT records a provision for federal income tax in periods when it has pretax income.  Actual U.S. federal cash taxes paid are expected to be minimal for the foreseeable future, as IDT continues to utilize its NOLs.  As of January 31, 2013, IDT had $31.2 million in net deferred income tax assets.  NOLs totaled $173.0 million as of January 31, 2013.

Net income attributable to IDT in 2Q13 was $3.0 million, compared to $2.7 million in 2Q12 and $3.6 million in 1Q13.

Non-GAAP net income and diluted non-GAAP EPS exclude certain components of GAAP net income (loss) that are not necessarily indicative of ongoing core operations.  The excluded components are detailed in the reconciliation provided at the end of this release.  Non-GAAP net income was $9.0 million in 2Q13, compared to $6.2 million in the year ago quarter and $9.9 million in the prior quarter.  Diluted non-GAAP EPS was $0.41 in 2Q13 compared to $0.29 in the year ago quarter and $0.45 in the prior quarter. 

As of January 31, 2013, IDT had $150.6 million of cash and cash equivalents. In addition, IDT had an aggregate of $34.8 million of current and long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents, which included $28.4 million in customer deposits and
other restricted balances held for IDT’s Gibraltar based bank. 

DISTRIBUTIONS

IDT’s Board of Directors declared a special cash distribution of $0.60 per share, which was paid on November 13, 2012, and suspended payment of the Company’s regular $0.15 per share quarterly dividend for fiscal 2013.  Future dividends will be at a level commensurate with the Company’s financial results, strategic goals and available resources.
