Commentary from Suzy Silliman (SVP, Data Strategy and Sales at NRS)
“NRS’ year over year rate of same-store sales growth jumped to 5.1% in August after a weak July.
“August is back-to-school month for many universities and K-12 districts. We saw not only the expected sales growth versus July but also a robust increase versus August 2023, most notably in school-related categories including Office Supply, Writing Tools, and Computer/Printer accessories.
“Cookie Snacks and Variety Packs, convenient options for school lunches, also realized strong year-over-year growth, as did sales of Baking Staples, Extracts/Herbs/Spices/Seasoning, Baking Mixes and Baking Supplies.
“On the other hand, sales of the Candy/Gum/Mints and Sweet Snacks categories continued to decline year-over-year.
“While our measure of inflationary pressure increased in August for the second consecutive month, rising to 3.5%, that increase was largely driven by a spike in the prices of tobacco products. Absent that, the underlying rate of year-over-year increase was 2.5%, the same as July.”

July Retail Same-Store Sales Highlights
(Same-store sales, unit sales, transactions, and average price data throughout this release refer to July 2024 unless otherwise noted. All comparisons are provided on a “per calendar day” basis to remove from consideration variability in the number of days per month.)
Same-store sales increased 1.2% from a year earlier (July 2023). In the previous month (June 2024), same-store sales had increased 5.1% compared to June 2023.
Same-store sales decreased 1.9% compared to the previous month (June 2024). Same-store sales in June 2024 had increased 1.6% compared to the previous month (May 2024).
For the three months ended July 31 2024, same-store sales increased 3.0% compared to the three months ended July 31, 2023.
The number of units sold increased 2.2% from a year earlier (July 2023). In the previous month (June 2024), the number of items sold had increased 5.5% compared to June 2023.

Retail Trade Comparative Data
The table below provides historical comparative data with the U.S. Commerce Department’s Advance Monthly Retail Trade same-store sales data excluding food service:
Over the past twelve months, the NRS network’s three-month moving average same-store sales have outpaced the US Commerce Department’s Advance Monthly Retail Trade data, excluding food services, by 2.3% percentage points, on average.
The NRSInsights data in the chart above have not been adjusted to reflect inflation, demographic distributions, seasonal buying patterns, item substitution, days per month, or other factors that may facilitate comparisons to other periods, to other same-store retail sales data, or to the U.S. Commerce Department’s retail data.
Commentary from Suzy Silliman (SVP, Data Strategy and Sales at NRS)
“The rate of same-store sales growth moderated across the NRS network in July, continuing a year-long trend. The year-over-year rate of nominal increase has decreased from over 6% for the three months ended July 2023 to 3% for the same period this year. Inflation, meanwhile, as measured by the weighted price per unit of our 500 most frequently sold items, remained relatively subdued at 2.5%, although over the past two months it has increased off the lows earlier in the year.
“July’s nationwide results were modestly impacted by Hurricane Beryl, which triggered double digit sales decreases versus July 2023 in coastal and Southeast Texas markets, including Corpus Christi and Houston. Beryl, which disrupted distribution throughout the impacted regions, also caused widespread, extended-term power outages.
“On par with previous months, we continued to see notable growth in sales of Tequila, Prepared Cocktails, Smokeless Tobacco and Non-Alcoholic Beer during July, while sales of Energy Drinks, Chocolates and Confections, Vape, and sweet snacks such as packaged brownies, doughnuts, cakes, and pies, all declined.
“Although the U.S. continued to swelter under protracted heatwaves during the month, the unusually robust sales levels of Packaged Non-Alcoholic Beverages that we measured in June were not sustained for a second month. In July, Carbonated Soft Drinks, Bottled Water, and Sports Drinks volumes all returned to their respective trendlines.”

Commentary from Suzy Silliman (SVP, Data Strategy and Sales at NRS)
“June 2024 again produced strong results across the NRS network versus June of 2023 in all three same-store sales metrics: dollars, units sold, and transactions (baskets).
“Growth was spread across geographic regions, with thirty-seven of the fifty U.S. states increasing all three metrics and all but eight states enjoying transaction growth. States in the Northeast were responsible for over 50% of the network transaction growth versus June 2023 while stores in Florida and Texas, in aggregate, underperformed.
“With much of the U.S. under a heat advisory during at least part of June this year, seasonal categories outperformed. Sun Care led with dollars, units sold, and baskets all tracking over 50% ahead of June 2023’s levels. Ice, Condiments, Pest Control and Deodorant also trended higher. In terms of its impact on sales dollar growth for the NRS network in aggregate, Packaged Beverages, including both alcoholic and non-alcoholic categories, was the key driver.
“Sales for both the Candy/Gum/Mints and the Tobacco Alternatives/Vape categories underperformed in June versus a year ago, continuing a recent trend. Sweet Snacks – which includes packaged cakes, cupcakes and pies, muffins, dessert bars, doughnuts, and similar items – also had a softer June this year for all three sales metrics. In recent months, Sweet Snacks had benefitted from shoppers who had switched from Candy to satisfy their sweet tooth, so we are keeping an eye on this month’s break in that trend.”

May same-store sales increased 4.7% year-over-year
NEWARK, N.J., June 07, 2024 — NRSInsights, a provider of sales data and analytics drawn from retail transactions processed through the National Retail Solutions (NRS) point-of-sale (POS) platform, today announced comparative same-store sales results for May 2024.
As of May 31, 2024, the NRS retail network comprised approximately 30,800 active terminals scanning purchases at independent retailers including bodegas, convenience stores, liquor stores, grocers, tobacco, and sundries sellers nationwide, predominantly serving urban consumers.

(Same-store sales, unit sales, transactions, and average price data throughout this release refer to May 2024 unless otherwise noted. All comparisons are provided on a “per calendar day” basis to remove from consideration variability in the number of days per month.)
Same-store sales increased 4.7% from a year earlier (May 2023). In the previous month (April 2024), average sales had increased 2.5% compared to April 2023.
Same-store sales increased 3.4% compared to the previous month (April 2024). Same-store sales in April 2024 had decreased 0.9% compared to the previous month (March 2024).
For the three months ended May 31, 2024, same-store sales increased 4.3% compared to the three months ended May 31, 2023.
The number of items sold increased 4.7% from a year earlier (May 2023). In the previous month (April 2024), the number of items sold had increased 3.7% compared to April 2023.

Commentary from Suzy Silliman (SVP, Data Strategy and Sales at NRS)
“In May, the NRS point-of-sale network generated solid same-store sales growth versus the year ago and prior month across dollars, baskets, and units scanned.
“Looking at popular categories, Smokeless Tobacco sales continued their upward trajectory propelled by the surging popularity of nicotine pouches, while Tobacco and Cigarette sales declined modestly from year ago levels. Within the Tobacco Alternatives category, Vape scans stood out with continued year-over-year decreases in baskets, units and dollar sales.
“Within Beverages, mid-May marks the start of ‘cold beverage season.’ This May we did indeed see the expected, sequential lift across most cold beverage categories. Beer, NA Beer, FMB/Cider/Seltzer, Soft Drinks, Water (still, value-add, and sparkling), and Coconut Water all grew dollar sales sequentially and year over year. Bucking the trend, Energy Drinks and Sports Drinks saw little seasonal benefit and trailed year-ago sales levels.
“Sales of high-protein offerings, including Performance Nutritional Shakes and Bars, as well as Protein Salty Snacks have increased significantly in recent months. Their market strength closely correlates with broader retail patterns influenced by the increasing popularity of GLP-1 agonist weight loss drugs, which are often paired with high-protein diets for optimal outcomes. Across the retail landscape, health trends, consumer preferences, and product innovation remain key inter-connected drivers of category and brand performance.”

NEWARK, NJ, June 05, 2024 — IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT), a global provider of fintech, cloud communications, and traditional communications solutions, today reported results for the third quarter of its fiscal year 2024, the three months ended April 30, 2024.
HIGHLIGHTS
(Throughout this release, unless otherwise noted, results are for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 (3Q24) and are compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 (3Q23). All earnings per share (EPS) and other ‘per share’ results are per diluted share. For 3Q24 and all prior periods presented, IDT reclassified most of its technology and development expenses from SG&A expense to a new “Technology and development” expense line item and reclassified a small portion to “Direct cost of revenues.”)
•
National Retail Solutions (NRS) added approximately 1,600 net active point-of-sale (POS) terminals during 3Q24, to reach approximately 30,300 as of April 30th. NRS recurring revenue increased 45% year-over-year to $24.0 million;
•
BOSS Money, the principal business in IDT’s Fintech segment, increased revenue 42% to $27.6 million, while increasing remittance transactions by 44% to 4.7 million;
•
net2phone added approximately 9,000 net seats served, to reach approximately 384,000 as of April 30th. Subscription revenue increased 17% to $20.0 million;
•
Consolidated revenue of $299.6 million compared to $299.3 million;
•
Consolidated gross profit increased 11% to a record $97.0 million from $87.6 million, and the consolidated gross profit margin increased 310 basis points to 32.4% from 29.3%;
•
Consolidated income from operations increased to $11.4 million from $10.4 million;
•
Net income attributable to IDT decreased to $5.6 million from $6.9 million, primarily due to an increase in the effective income tax rate in 3Q24 and to certain foreign currency transaction losses realized;
•
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA increased to $20.6 million from $20.5 million;
•
GAAP EPS decreased to $0.22 from $0.27. Non-GAAP EPS** decreased to $0.38 from $0.46 as a result of the decrease in net income attributable to IDT;
•
During 3Q24, IDT repurchased 68,846 shares of its Class B common stock for $2.5 million.

REMARKS BY SHMUEL JONAS, CEO
“IDT’s three high-growth, high-margin businesses again delivered strong results in the third quarter, contributing to a 310-basis point improvement in our consolidated gross margin. NRS has surpassed the 30 thousand active terminal milestone, making it the largest POS network for C-stores in the country. At net2phone, Adjusted EBITDA doubled year-over-year in the current quarter, as the business continues to scale and improve its operating leverage. And at BOSS Money, our balanced, omni-channel approach to customer acquisition and focus on customer service and user experience drove another quarter of strong revenue increases, helping the Fintech segment to its first Adjusted EBITDA positive quarter.
“Looking ahead, we are very excited by the potential of each of these three businesses for sustainable, profitable growth. In our Traditional Communications segment, we are making progress turning around our IDT Digital Payments business and expect its bottom-line results will continue to improve.”

Take-Aways:
•
During 3Q24, NRS added approximately 1,600 net active terminals and approximately 1,300 net payment processing accounts. NRS continues to incentivize new and existing retailers to utilize its native payment processing solution, NRS Pay.
•
The strong year-over-year increases in both Merchant Services and in SaaS Fees revenues reflects the continued, robust growth in active POS terminals and payment processing accounts, as well as increased sales of higher revenue payment processing and software plans.
•
The year-over-year revenue increase in advertising sales, which comprises most of Advertising & Data revenue, resulted from steady growth stemming from both programmatic and direct sales channel enhancements. The sequential quarterly decline was in line with expected seasonal factors characteristic of the advertising industry.
•
The year-over-year increase in monthly average recurring revenue per terminal was impacted mostly by the strong increases in Merchant Services and SaaS Fees revenues per terminal.
net2phone
During 3Q24 and 3Q23, the net2phone segment contributed 6.9% and 6.2% of IDT’s consolidated revenue, respectively.

Take-Aways:
•
net2phone’s year-over-year increases in seats were powered by expansion in key markets led by the U.S., Brazil, and Mexico.
•
net2phone’s combined SG&A expense and technology and development cost as a percentage of its total revenue decreased to 77% from 81% in the year ago quarter, as it continues to achieve higher levels of operating leverage as the business scales.

Take-Aways:
•
The 44% year-over-year increase in BOSS Money transactions comprised a 43% increase in digital transactions via the BOSS Money and BOSS Calling apps, and a 49% increase in retail transactions. The latter was driven primarily by expansion of the BOSS Money retail agent network.
•
BOSS Money revenue increased 42% as a result of transactions growth, driven by cross-marketing within the larger BOSS ecosystem, the expansion of the BOSS Money retailer network, and enhanced user-experience within the BOSS Money and Boss Calling apps.
•
The Fintech segment generated positive Adjusted EBITDA for the first time, primarily as a result of the continued growth in BOSS Money transactions, revenue, and gross profit.
Traditional Communications

*Explanation of Key Performance Metrics
NRS’ recurring revenue is NRS’ revenue in accordance with GAAP excluding revenue from POS terminal sales. NRS’ Monthly Average Recurring Revenue per Terminal is a financial metric. Monthly Average Recurring Revenue per Terminal is calculated by dividing NRS’ recurring revenue by the average number of active POS terminals during the period. The average number of active POS terminals is calculated by adding the beginning and ending number of active POS terminals during the period and dividing by two. NRS’ recurring revenue divided by the average number of active POS terminals is divided by three when the period is a fiscal quarter. Recurring revenue and Monthly Average Recurring Revenue per Terminal are useful for comparisons of NRS’ revenue and revenue per customer to prior periods and to competitors and others in the market, as well as for forecasting future revenue from the customer base.
net2phone’s subscription revenue is its revenue in accordance with GAAP excluding its equipment revenue and revenue generated by a legacy SIP trunking offering in Brazil. net2phone’s cloud communications and contact center offerings are priced on a per-seat basis, with customers paying based on the number of users in their organization. The number of seats served and subscription revenue trends and comparisons between periods are used in the analysis of net2phone’s revenues and direct cost of revenues and are strong indications of the top-line growth and performance of the business.
BOSS Money’s Average Revenue per Transaction is also a financial metric. Average Revenue per Transaction is calculated by dividing BOSS Money’s revenue in accordance with GAAP by the number of transactions during the period. Average Revenue per Transaction is useful for comparisons of BOSS Money’s revenue per transaction to prior periods and to competitors and others in the market, as well as for forecasting future revenue based on transaction trends.
**Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 and 2023
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 3Q24, 2Q24, 1Q24, 4Q23, and 3Q23 Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share (EPS), both of which are non-GAAP measures.
Generally, a non-GAAP 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 non-GAAP EPS is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by the diluted weighted-average shares. IDT’s measure of non-GAAP net income starts with net income attributable to IDT in accordance with GAAP and adds severance expense, stock-based compensation, and other operating expenses, and deducts other operating gains. These additions and subtractions are non-cash and/or non-routine items in the relevant fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 periods.
Management believes that IDT’s Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS are measures which provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses and non-routine gains and losses that may not be indicative of IDT’s or the relevant segment’s core operating results. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, among other measures, as a relevant indicator of core operational strengths in its financial and operational decision making. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA 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.
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 capitalized in prior periods. IDT’s Adjusted EBITDA, which is exclusive of depreciation and amortization, is a useful indicator of its current performance.
Severance expense is excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA 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 (expense) gain, net, which is a component of income (loss) from operations, is excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS. Other operating (expense) gain, net includes, among other items, legal fees net of insurance claims related to Straight Path Communications Inc.’s stockholders’ class action, gains from the write-off of contingent consideration liabilities, gain from the sale of state income tax credits, and fixed asset write-offs. From time-to-time, IDT may have gains or incur costs related to non-routine legal, tax, and other matters, however, these various items generally do not occur each quarter. IDT believes the gain and losses from these non-routine matters are not components of IDT’s or the relevant segment’s core operating results.
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 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 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 and non-GAAP EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Following are reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA 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, and (b) for non-GAAP EPS, diluted earnings per share.

BOSS Money Introduces Domestic Money Transfers; Expands Delivery and Payment Options
Newark, NJ, June 04, 2024 — BOSS Money, the remittance and payments brand of IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT), today announced several significant initiatives to expand its popular money transfer service, including remittances within the United States.
BOSS Money’s new domestic money transfer solution enables customers in the U.S., using the popular BOSS Money or BOSS Revolution apps, to send money to their recipients’ U.S.-issued Visa or Mastercard-branded bank or reloadable debit cards. In most instances, the recipients’ card accounts are credited within minutes.
“With the launch of our domestic money transfer service, BOSS Money continues to make essential financial services more accessible. You can now send money within the U.S. even without a smartphone, internet access or a bank account,” said Esti Witty, EVP Product Management at BOSS Money.
BOSS Money also announced the recent launch of new delivery and payment options.
For money transfers from the U.S. to international destinations, BOSS Money customers can now transfer funds directly to their recipient’s in-country Visa-branded (and, in some instances, Mastercard-branded) debit or reloadable cards. Direct-to-card delivery is currently available for transfers to cards issued in popular Latin American and African destinations, as well as to the Philippines.
In addition, BOSS Money customers sending money both within the U.S. and internationally can now take advantage of reduced transaction fees by funding their transfer directly from their bank account instead of using their debit or credit card. This new, low-fee payment option is available to customers using either the BOSS Money or BOSS Revolution app.
Added Witty, “With our newest direct-to-card delivery and affordable bank account payment options, sending money to family and friends across the country or around the world is more convenient and affordable than ever.”
