IDT Corporation Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2016 Results

NEWARK, NJ–(Marketwired – December 03, 2015) – IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT) reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.18 and Non-GAAP diluted EPS* of $0.35 on revenue of $390.6 million for the first quarter of its fiscal year 2016, the three months ended October 31, 2015.

1Q16 HIGHLIGHTS
(Results for 1Q16 are compared to 1Q15)

  • Consolidated revenue decreased 5.4% to $390.6 million;
  • Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA* increased 24.6% to $13.0 million;
  • Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $14.0 million from $8.3 million;
  • IDT’s Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend to $0.19 for the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

IDT’s Chief Executive Officer Shmuel Jonas said, “IDT again delivered strong bottom line results increasing Adjusted EBITDA nearly 25% year over year to $13.0 million. Revenue declined after regulatory changes in Mexico resulted in substantial, industry-wide rate reductions in the heavily trafficked US-to-Mexico route. Exclusive of Mexico, Boss Revolution, our flagship voice calling and payments service, continued to grow. In light of our continued operating profitability and strong financial condition, IDT’s Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend to $0.19 for the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

“Earlier today, Zedge, our popular app to get the coolest ringtones, wallpapers and other content for mobile devices, was named one of the ‘Best Apps of 2015’ by Google Play. Congratulations to the Zedge team on a job well done. In the first quarter, Zedge increased its revenue 26% compared to the year ago quarter. The increase reflects strong advertising sales driven by continued growth of Zedge’s user base for both Android and iOS.

“Looking ahead, we are making good progress toward our goal of spinning-off Zedge to our shareholders, and expect this distribution to occur in the second quarter of calendar 2016. We also have targeted the second quarter for the launch of a new version of the popular Boss Revolution app, featuring two exciting new features — peer-to-peer voice calling and instant messaging — that we expect will drive long term growth,” he concluded.

*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.

1Q16 OPERATING RESULTS BY SEGMENT

(Results are for 1Q16 and comparisons are to 1Q15 unless otherwise noted)

TPS

IDT’s Telecom Platform Services (TPS) segment accounted for 98.7% of IDT’s revenue in 1Q16. 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 7.16 billion compared to 7.48 billion (-4.2%) in 1Q15 and to 7.47 billion (-4.0%) in 4Q15. The decreases primarily reflect a decline in Retail Communications minutes, triggered primarily by the decline in traffic in IDT’s US-to-Mexico route.

TPS’ revenue was $385.7 million compared to $403.8 million (-4.5%) in the year ago quarter and $400.8 million (-3.8%) in the prior quarter. The decreases are primarily the result of a decline in minutes in Retail Communications and, year over year, lower average revenue-per-minute in Wholesale Carrier Services.

Payment Services   $55.5   $51.2   $55.7   +8.5%   n/a   14.4%

Retail Communications revenue totaled $173.7 million in 1Q16 compared to $184.4 million (-5.8%) in the year ago quarter. Growth in IDT’s flagship Boss Revolution international calling service, which is the dominant offering in the Retail Communications vertical, was 0.5% year over year but declined 3.9% sequentially. Following regulatory changes intended to increase domestic competition in the Mexican telecommunications market, the cost of terminating international calls to Mexico has declined significantly. As a result, many of IDT’s competitors — including some of the large US mobile operators — began offering free or low cost unlimited Mexico calling as part of their monthly pricing plans. These dynamics negatively impacted Retail Communications revenue generated on the heavily used US-to-Mexico corridor. Exclusive of the US-to-Mexico route, Boss Revolution’s international calling service revenue increased in 1Q16 by approximately 5% compared to the year ago quarter.

Wholesale Carrier Services’ revenue decreased to $148.1 million (-6.2%) in 1Q16, primarily resulting from a decrease in revenue-per-minute, reflecting a shift to lower revenue, higher margin corridors.

Payment Services’ revenue in 1Q16 increased to $55.5 million (+8.5%) on growth in international airtime top-up sales.

Hosted Platform Solutions’ revenue decreased to $8.4 million in 1Q16 (-19.0%). The decrease was in-line with expectations and primarily reflects 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 83.8% in 1Q16, a decrease of 80 basis points year over year and 50 basis points sequentially. The improvement is due primarily to higher revenue-per-minute in Retail Communications, and to a shift in Wholesale Carrier Services’ traffic to lower revenue but higher margin routes.

TPS’ SG&A expense decreased to $48.2 million from $51.2 million (-5.9%) in 1Q15 and from $49.4 million (-2.4%) in 4Q15. Expressed as a percentage of TPS’ revenue, TPS’ 1Q16 SG&A decreased to 12.5% from 12.7% in 1Q15 and increased from 12.3% in 4Q15. 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 $14.1 million from $11.0 million (+28.5%) in 1Q15 and from $13.4 million (+5.6%) in 4Q15. The year over year and sequential increases were driven by the reduction in SG&A expense, which more than compensated for decreases in revenue.

TPS’ depreciation and amortization expense was $4.4 million in 1Q16, an increase from $3.8 million (+16.6%) in 1Q15 and $4.3 million (+1.6%) in 4Q15. Depreciation increased due to higher levels of capital expenditures in recent periods to support new product developments, including IDT Messaging, Net2Phone Office, and the Boss Revolution Calling App.

TPS’ income from operations increased to $9.7 million from $5.7 million (+71.5%) in 1Q15 and $8.8 million (+10.4%) in 4Q15. Severance expense was nil, $1.5 million and $0.2 million in 1Q16, 1Q15 and 4Q15, 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 $2.3 million (-20.9%) in 1Q15 and $2.0 million (-7.5%) in the prior quarter. CPS’ income from operations was $339 thousand in 1Q16, compared $355 thousand (-4.5%) in 1Q15 and $273 thousand (+24.1%) in 4Q15.

ALL OTHER

All Other includes Zedge — a popular platform for mobile phone consumers to obtain free customization content — IDT’s real estate holdings and other small businesses. All Other previously included Fabrix, a software development company specializing in highly efficient cloud-based video processing, storage and delivery. Fabrix’s operations were consolidated into IDT for all periods up to and including the first two months of 1Q15, at which point Fabrix was sold and deconsolidated.

As of October 31, 2015, Zedge’s app, available on Android, iOS and Windows Mobile, had surpassed 173 million cumulative installs, increasing from 120 million (+44%) a year earlier and 159 million (+9%) at July 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 and is currently ranked in the top ten most popular free apps in the iTunes Entertainment category. 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 1Q16 was $2.6 million, an increase from $2.0 million (+26.4%) in 1Q15 and from $2.4 million (+5.4%) in 4Q15. The year over year and sequential revenue increases were driven by continued growth in users and impressions, and increased revenue per impression, across both the Android and iOS platforms.

All Other’s revenue was $3.1 million in 1Q16 compared to $6.8 million (-54.8%) in 1Q15 and $3.0 million (+3.0%) in 4Q15. (Fabrix contributed $4.2 million to All Other’s revenue in 1Q15 prior to its sale.) Excluding Zedge, IDT’s real estate holdings generated the balance of All Other’s revenue in 1Q16.

All Other’s income from operations in 1Q16 was $430 thousand compared to $76.5 million in 1Q15 and $449 thousand in 4Q15. All Other’s income from operations in 1Q15 included a gain on the sale of IDT’s interest in Fabrix of $75.1 million.

OTHER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Consolidated results for all periods presented include corporate overhead. In 1Q16, corporate G&A expense was $2.6 million compared to $3.0 million (-13.1%) in the year ago quarter and $2.3 million (+12.0%) in the prior quarter.

1Q16 net income attributable to IDT decreased to $4.2 million from $80.2 million in the year ago quarter and increased from $1.3 million in 4Q15. Net income in 1Q15 reflected a gain on the sale of IDT’s interest in Fabrix of $75.1 million. Net income attributable to IDT in 1Q16 included income tax expense of $2.9 million compared to $486 thousand in 1Q15 and $3.8 million in 4Q15.

At October 31, 2015, IDT had $152.8 million in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Additionally, at that date, IDT reported $81.7 million in current restricted cash and cash equivalents, which included $81.0 million of customer deposits held by IDT’s Gibraltar-based bank. Notes payable, which consisted of a $6.4 million mortgage on real estate at July 31, 2015, was reduced to zero after the mortgage was paid on the maturity date. Current assets totaled $327.6 million and current liabilities were $331.4 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities during 1Q16 increased to $14.0 million compared to $8.3 million during 1Q15 and $2.8 million in 4Q15. For the same periods, capital expenditures declined to $5.5 million compared to $6.1 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

IDT has increased its quarterly dividend to $0.19 per share of Class A and Class B common stock for the first quarter of its fiscal year 2016. The dividend will be paid on or about December 18, 2015 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 14th. The ex-dividend date will be December 10th.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the First Quarter Fiscal 2016

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 first 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, and severance expense, and subtract 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, and stock-based compensation, 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.

Gain on the sale of interest in Fabrix Systems Ltd., which is a component of income from operations, is 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. However, such gains or 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 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 Corporation Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2016 Results

NEWARK, NJ — December 3, 2015: IDT
Corporation (NYSE: IDT) reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.18 and
Non-GAAP diluted EPS* of $0.35 on revenue of $390.6 million for the first
quarter of its fiscal year 2016, the three months ended October 31, 2015.

1Q16 HIGHLIGHTS

(Results for 1Q16 are compared to 1Q15)

  • Consolidated revenue decreased 5.4% to
    $390.6 million;
  • Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA* increased
    24.6% to $13.0 million;
  • Net cash provided by operating
    activities increased to $14.0 million from $8.3 million;
  • IDT’s Board of Directors increased the
    quarterly dividend to $0.19 for the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

IDT’s Chief Executive Officer Shmuel
Jonas said, “IDT again delivered strong bottom line results increasing Adjusted
EBITDA nearly 25% year over year to $13.0 million. Revenue declined after regulatory changes in
Mexico resulted in substantial, industry-wide rate reductions in the heavily trafficked
US-to-Mexico route. Exclusive of Mexico,
Boss Revolution, our flagship voice calling and payments service, continued to
grow. In light of our continued
operating profitability and strong financial condition, IDT’s Board of
Directors increased the quarterly dividend to $0.19 for the first quarter of
fiscal 2016.

“Earlier today, Zedge, our
popular app to get the coolest ringtones, wallpapers and other content for
mobile devices, was named one of the ‘Best Apps of 2015’ by Google Play. Congratulations to the Zedge team on a job
well done. In the first quarter, Zedge
increased its revenue 26% compared to the year ago quarter. The increase reflects strong advertising
sales driven by continued growth of Zedge’s user base for both Android and iOS.

“Looking ahead, we are making
good progress toward our goal of spinning-off Zedge to our shareholders, and expect
this distribution to occur in the second quarter of calendar 2016. We also have targeted the second quarter for
the launch of a new version of the popular Boss Revolution app, featuring two
exciting new features – peer-to-peer voice calling and instant messaging – that
we expect will drive long term growth,” he concluded.

*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.

1Q16 OPERATING
RESULTS BY SEGMENT

(Results are for 1Q16 and comparisons
are to 1Q15 unless otherwise noted)

TPS

IDT’s Telecom Platform Services (TPS) segment accounted for 98.7%
of IDT’s revenue in 1Q16. 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
7.16 billion compared to 7.48 billion (-4.2%) in 1Q15 and to 7.47 billion (-4.0%)
in 4Q15. The decreases primarily reflect
a decline in Retail Communications minutes, triggered primarily by the decline in
traffic in IDT’s US-to-Mexico route.

TPS’ revenue was $385.7 million
compared to $403.8 million (-4.5%) in the year ago quarter and $400.8 million (-3.8%)
in the prior quarter. The decreases are
primarily the result of a decline in minutes in Retail Communications and, year
over year, lower average revenue-per-minute in Wholesale Carrier Services.

Retail Communications revenue
totaled $173.7 million in 1Q16 compared to $184.4 million (-5.8%) in the year
ago quarter. Growth in IDT’s flagship Boss
Revolution international calling service, which is the dominant offering in the
Retail Communications vertical, was 0.5% year over year but declined 3.9% sequentially.
Following regulatory changes intended to
increase domestic competition in the Mexican telecommunications market, the cost
of terminating international calls to Mexico has declined significantly. As a result, many of IDT’s competitors –
including some of the large US mobile operators – began offering free or low
cost unlimited Mexico calling as part of their monthly pricing plans. These dynamics negatively impacted Retail
Communications revenue generated on the heavily used US-to-Mexico
corridor. Exclusive of the US-to-Mexico
route, Boss Revolution’s international calling service revenue increased in
1Q16 by approximately 5% compared to the year ago quarter.

Wholesale Carrier Services’ revenue
decreased to $148.1 million (-6.2%) in 1Q16, primarily resulting from a
decrease in revenue-per-minute, reflecting a shift to lower revenue, higher
margin corridors.

Payment Services’ revenue in 1Q16 increased to $55.5 million
(+8.5%) on growth in international airtime top-up sales.

Hosted Platform Solutions’ revenue decreased to $8.4 million
in 1Q16 (-19.0%). The decrease was
in-line with expectations and primarily reflects 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
83.8% in 1Q16, a decrease of 80 basis points year over year and 50 basis points
sequentially. The improvement is due primarily
to higher revenue-per-minute in Retail Communications, and to a shift in
Wholesale Carrier Services’ traffic to lower revenue but higher margin routes.

TPS’ SG&A expense decreased to $48.2 million from $51.2
million (-5.9%) in 1Q15 and from $49.4 million (-2.4%) in 4Q15. Expressed as a percentage of TPS’ revenue,
TPS’ 1Q16 SG&A decreased to 12.5% from 12.7% in 1Q15 and increased from 12.3%
in 4Q15. 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 $14.1 million from $11.0
million (+28.5%) in 1Q15 and from $13.4 million (+5.6%) in 4Q15. The year over year and sequential increases were
driven by the reduction in SG&A expense, which more than compensated for
decreases in revenue.

TPS’ depreciation and amortization expense was $4.4 million
in 1Q16, an increase from $3.8 million (+16.6%) in 1Q15 and $4.3 million (+1.6%)
in 4Q15. Depreciation increased due to higher
levels of capital expenditures in recent periods to support new product
developments, including IDT Messaging, Net2Phone Office, and the Boss
Revolution Calling App.

TPS’ income from operations increased to $9.7 million from
$5.7 million (+71.5%) in 1Q15 and $8.8 million (+10.4%) in 4Q15. Severance expense was nil, $1.5 million and $0.2
million in 1Q16, 1Q15 and 4Q15, 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 $2.3 million (-20.9%) in 1Q15 and $2.0 million (-7.5%) in the prior
quarter. CPS’ income from operations
was $339 thousand in 1Q16, compared $355 thousand (-4.5%) in 1Q15 and $273
thousand (+24.1%) in 4Q15.

ALL OTHER

All Other includes Zedge – a popular platform for mobile
phone consumers to obtain free customization content – IDT’s real estate
holdings and other small businesses. All
Other previously included Fabrix, a software development company specializing
in highly efficient cloud-based video processing, storage and delivery. Fabrix’s operations were consolidated into
IDT for all periods up to and including the first two months of 1Q15, at which
point Fabrix was sold and deconsolidated.

As of October 31, 2015, Zedge’s app, available on Android,
iOS and Windows Mobile, had surpassed 173 million cumulative installs,
increasing from 120 million (+44%) a year earlier and 159 million (+9%) at July
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 and is currently ranked in the top ten most popular free apps in the
iTunes Entertainment category. 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 1Q16 was $2.6 million, an increase from $2.0
million (+26.4%) in 1Q15 and from $2.4 million (+5.4%) in 4Q15. The year over year and sequential revenue
increases were driven by continued growth in users and impressions, and
increased revenue per impression, across both the Android and iOS platforms.

All Other’s revenue was $3.1 million in 1Q16 compared to $6.8
million (-54.8%) in 1Q15 and $3.0 million (+3.0%) in 4Q15. (Fabrix contributed $4.2
million to All Other’s revenue in 1Q15 prior to its sale.) Excluding Zedge, IDT’s real estate holdings
generated the balance of All Other’s revenue in 1Q16.

All Other’s income from operations in 1Q16 was $430 thousand
compared to $76.5 million in 1Q15 and $449 thousand in 4Q15. All Other’s income from operations in 1Q15
included a gain on the sale of IDT’s interest in Fabrix of $75.1 million.

OTHER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Consolidated results for all periods presented include
corporate overhead. In 1Q16, corporate G&A
expense was $2.6 million compared to $3.0 million (-13.1%) in the year ago
quarter and $2.3 million (+12.0%) in the prior quarter.

1Q16 net income attributable to IDT decreased to $4.2
million from $80.2 million in the year ago quarter and increased from $1.3
million in 4Q15. Net income in 1Q15
reflected a gain on the sale of IDT’s interest in Fabrix of $75.1 million. Net income attributable to IDT in 1Q16
included income tax expense of $2.9 million compared to $486 thousand in 1Q15
and $3.8 million in 4Q15.

At October 31, 2015, IDT had $152.8 million in unrestricted
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Additionally, at that date,
IDT reported $81.7 million in current restricted cash and cash equivalents,
which included $81.0 million of customer deposits held by IDT’s Gibraltar-based
bank. Notes payable, which consisted of
a $6.4 million mortgage on real estate at July 31, 2015, was reduced to zero after
the mortgage was paid on the maturity date.
Current assets totaled $327.6 million and current liabilities were
$331.4 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities during 1Q16 increased
to $14.0 million compared to $8.3 million during 1Q15 and $2.8 million in 4Q15. For the same periods, capital expenditures
declined to $5.5 million compared to $6.1 million and $5.7 million,
respectively.

DIVIDEND

IDT has increased its quarterly dividend to $0.19 per share
of Class A and Class B common stock for the first quarter of its fiscal year 2016. The dividend will be paid on or about
December 18, 2015 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December
14th. The ex-dividend date will be December 10th. This distribution is an ordinary dividend for
tax purposes.

IDT Dedicates Newly Renovated HQ Building in Newark, NJ

NEWARK, NJ–(Marketwired – November 02, 2015) – Over 600 employees, family members and friends, as well as Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, New Jersey Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno, and U.S. Senator and presidential candidate Lindsey Graham gathered in Newark, NJ last week to dedicate IDT Corporation’s (NYSE: IDT) newly renovated headquarters building and mark its 25th anniversary as a leader in the telecommunications industry.

“This is a great day for IDT,” said its founder and Chairman, Howard Jonas. “President Ronald Reagan said that ‘America is too great for small dreams.’ IDT has been successful for a quarter century because we aim high, and then hire great people to execute. IDT has been a pioneer in the telecommunications industry for 25 years, and each of the companies that we have spun-off to our shareholders in recent years — IDW Media, Genie Energy, and Straight Path Communications — has created shareholder value with a bold, innovative approach with huge upside potential.”

The lobby and three floors of the IDT building at 520 Broad Street in Newark have been completely renovated to provide state-of-the art, open-floor-plan space for over 500 employees. Genie Energy, which was spun off from IDT in 2013, shares the space with IDT.

IDT Corporation was founded in 1990 by its Chairman, Howard Jonas, who developed an automated call-back system that dramatically lowered the cost of international long distance calling. Today, IDT provides retail and wholesale telecommunications and payment services to help immigrants and the under-banked communicate and share resources around the world.

The IDT headquarters building is an 18-story 500,000 SF office space featuring views of New York City and Newark’s Washington Park. The Washington Park neighborhood in Newark is the epicenter of Newark’s Renaissance 3.0, which includes a planned 25,000 square-foot accelerator for new technology ventures adjacent to the Rutgers Business School.

IDT’s Boss Revolution Is First US-Based Airtime Top-Up Service to Cuba

NEWARK, NJ–(Marketwired – September 16, 2015) – IDT® Corporation (NYSE: IDT), a leading provider of international telephony and payment services through its flagship Boss Revolution® brand, said today that it has reached an agreement with Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba S.A. (ETECSA), Cuba’s national telecommunications company, to provide international airtime top-up service. Under the agreement, Boss Revolution’s airtime top-up to Cuba will be the first offered directly by a US-based telecommunications company.

IDT’s Boss Revolution customers can purchase airtime credit with US dollars for any Cubacel customer from any Boss Revolution retailer, online at www.bossrevolution.com or through the Boss Revolution app. Cubacel customers can use airtime credit for both domestic and international calling. Previously, IDT and other US-based providers resold international top-up services offered by providers based outside of the US.

“Boss Revolution customers can now transfer value to friends and family in Cuba directly through Boss Revolution, rather than relying on a third party to provide the underlying service,” said Bill Pereira, CEO of IDT Telecom. “Looking ahead, we expect to partner with ETECSA to develop additional, innovative offerings serving the Cuban-American community.”

In March 2015, IDT became the first US based telecommunications company to terminate international long distance voice calls directly with ETECSA. Since then, IDT has experienced a significant increase in call volume and improved call quality on the US – Cuba route.

This entity will retain cash resources for investment in technology and other ventures.

“Throughout its history, IDT has spun-off businesses to accelerate their growth and generate value for our stockholders,” said Howard Jonas, founder and Chairman of IDT Corporation. “Consistent with that tradition, we intend to separate the various businesses and assets within IDT into three companies, provide them with focused management teams, and maximize their potential for long term value creation. We will announce additional details of the spin-offs as developments warrant.”

Since 2009, IDT has spun off the following companies to its stockholders, each of which now operates as an independent public company: IDW Media Holdings (f/k/a CTM Media Holdings) (OTC PINK: IDWM), an integrated media company whose holdings include IDW Publishing, the award-winning, San Diego-based comic-book and graphic novel publisher; and CTM Media Group, a distributor of print and digital advertising; Genie Energy (NYSE: GNE, GNEPRA), which holds one of the largest independent energy retailers in the Northeast as well as an exclusive oil and gas exploration license in Northern Israel; and Straight Path Communications Inc., (NYSE MKT: STRP) which holds an extensive portfolio of 39GHz and 28GHz wireless spectrum and an intellectual property portfolio focused on communications over computer networks.

The reorganization and the specific components are subject to changes and both internal and third party contingencies, and must receive final approval by IDT’s Board of Directors and other bodies. IDT is targeting completion of the reorganization in CY 2016.
