Same-store salesat NRS retailers in January 2023were robust, increasing 11.5% compared toJanuary 2022but decreased 6.0%compared to December2022 on seasonal factors
NEWARK, N.J., Feb. 06, 2023 — 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 January 2023.
As of January 31, 2023, the NRS retail network comprised approximately 22,000 terminals scanning purchases at independent retailers including bodegas, convenience stores, liquor stores, grocers, and tobacco and sundries sellers nationwide, predominantly serving urban consumers.
Retail Same-Store Sales Highlights (Sequential comparisons are influenced by seasonal factors)
Same-store sales increased 11.5% from a year earlier (January 2022) but decreased 6.0% compared to December 2022;
Same-store sales in the preceding month (December 2022) had increased 9.8% compared to the year-ago month (December 2021) and 6.6% compared to the previous month, (November 2022);
For the three months ended January 31, 2023, same-store sales increased 9.9% compared to the three months ended January 31, 2022;
The number of items sold during January 2023 increased 7.2% compared to January 2022 2021 but decreased 2.5% compared to December 2022;
The average number of transactions per store in January 2023 increased 8.8% compared to January 2022 but decreased 0.9% compared to December 2022;

Commentary from Suzy Silliman (SVP, Data Strategy and Sales at NRS)
“NRS same-store sales for January increased markedly compared to a year ago, jumping 11.5% while decreasing from December in line with expected seasonal trends. Meanwhile, in good news for consumers, the year-over-year rate of price increases of the most popular goods moderated somewhat compared to recent months. Notwithstanding the decreasing inflationary pressures, extreme year-over-year increases in the prices of certain essential consumer staples including eggs, infant formula, and tortillas suggest that household budgets continue to be strongly impacted by rising prices.”

NRSInsights’ December 2022 Retail Same-Store Sales Report
Same-store salesat NRS retailers in December 2022increased 9.8% compared toDecember 2021 and 6.6%compared to November2022
NEWARK, N.J., Jan. 06, 2023 — 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 December 2022.
As of December 31, 2022, the NRS retail network comprised approximately 22,000 terminals scanning purchases at independent retailers including bodegas, convenience stores, liquor stores, grocers, and tobacco and sundries sellers nationwide, predominantly serving urban consumers.
Retail Same-Store Sales Highlights for December 2022
(Sequential comparisons are influenced by seasonal factors)
Same-store sales increased 9.8% from a year earlier (December 2021) and 6.6% compared to November 2022;
Same-store sales in the preceding month (November 2022) had increased 11.4% compared to the year-ago month (November 2021) but had decreased 4.2% compared to the previous month, (October 2022);
For the full year 2022, same-store sales increased 8.2% compared to 2021;
For the three months ended December 31, 2022, same-store sales increased 9.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021;

A dollar-weighted average of prices for the top 500 items purchased in December 2022 increased 5.7% year over year, an increase compared to the 4.5% year-over-year increase in November 2022.
Commentary from Suzy Silliman (SVP, Data Strategy and Sales at NRS)
“NRS same-store sales for December increased significantly from both December a year ago and from November’s levels, as did costs for most popular items. Across our data, there was little to suggest that consumer demand or inflationary momentum has cooled, although the rate of price increases remains below the headline consumer price index inflation rate.
“Sales growth, both year over year and sequentially, was led by holiday entertaining and party categories. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, mixers, salty and sweet snacks and baking categories generated robust increases whether gauged by dollars, baskets or units sold. Sales of prepared cocktails surged impressively, but their expansion did not come at the expense of spirits, seltzer, beer, wine, or other beverage categories, all of which continued to increase from year-ago levels.”

NRSTake-Aways:
The year-over-year increases in NRS’ revenue and income from operations reflect increases in high-margin recurring revenue categories led by Advertising & Data, as well as the significant expansion of the NRS POS network.
In November 2022, NRS announced a partnership with Uber Technologies, Inc., enabling NRS retailers to offer same-day delivery to their customers by utilizing Uber Direct. Deliveries will be provided at no cost to the NRS retailer when the purchases are made through the BR Club app.
Fintech
The Fintech segment comprises BOSS Money, a provider of international money remittances as well as other, significantly smaller financial services businesses.
In 1Q23 and 1Q22, the Fintech segment contributed6.2% and 3.8% of IDT’s consolidated revenue, respectively.

Fintech Take-Aways:
BOSS Money transaction volumes increased 35% in 1Q23 to 2.87 million from 2.13 million in 1Q22.
BOSS Money revenue increased 45% in 1Q23 to $17.6 million from $12.1 million in 1Q22 as a result of the increase in transaction volumes and average revenue per transaction.
BOSS Money average revenue per transaction* increased 7.5% in 1Q23 to $6.11 from $5.69 in 1Q22. The increase was driven by the development and introduction of new platform functionalities enabling more flexible and granular pricing strategies.
Fintech income from operations increased to $1.5 million in 1Q23 from a loss from operations of $1.6 million in 1Q22. The increase reflects in part the impacts of both temporary, favorable FX market conditions in certain US/Africa corridors and a gain of $1.6 million from the write-off of a portion of a prior period acquisition-related contingent consideration payment obligation during 1Q23.
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $0.5 million from an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.0 million in 1Q22.
In September, BOSS Money initiated a collaboration with United Bank for Africa (UBA) to enable customers to send U.S. dollars for direct deposit at any of the approximately 20 million UBA accounts in Nigeria.
net2phone
In 1Q23 and 1Q22, the net2phonesegment accounted for 5.3% and 3.5% of IDT’s consolidated revenue, respectively.
net2phoneTake–aways:
Total seats on October 31, 2022 increased by 6% to 309,000 from 291,000 on July 31, 2022. Seats increased 26% from 244,000 a year earlier. The year-over-year increase included the addition of approximately 8,000 CCaaS seats.
Subscription revenue increased 33% in 1Q23 to $15.5 million from $11.7 million in 1Q22, led by particularly strong growth in the U.S. market. Subscription revenue per seat continued to increase in both South and North America – the former despite the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to most South American currencies – as net2phone focused on higher-value customers and channel partners.
Loss from operations in 1Q23 decreased to $1.1 million from a loss of $4.2 million in 1Q22, and Adjusted EBITDA was $296 thousand compared to negative Adjusted EBITDA of $2.9 million. The improvements reflect better unit economics as the business scales and revenue increases, a tight focus on cost control, and more focused investment in customer acquisition on markets with the highest returns on investment.
In August 2022, net2phone was named a UCaaS growth and innovation leader in Latin America and the Caribbean by Frost & Sullivan, which placed net2phone in the top quadrant of the Frost RadarTM: Unified Communications as a Service Market in Latin America and the Caribbean, 2022.
Traditional Communications
In 1Q23 and 1Q22, the Traditional Communications segment accounted for 82.5% and 90.0% of IDT’s consolidated revenue, respectively.
Traditional Communications Take–Aways:
Mobile Top-Up (MTU) revenue decreased 15% in 1Q23 to $109.0 million from $128.5 million in 1Q22. The decrease reflected the industry-wide deterioration in a key corridor that was particularly impactful in the wholesale and retail channels. Excluding this corridor, MTU revenue would have increased 4.7% year-over-year.
BOSS Revolution Calling revenue decreased 19% in 1Q23 to $86.3 million from $106.0 million in 1Q22. The decrease reflects the long-standing industry-wide decline in the paid minute calling markets that paused during the initial stages of the COVID pandemic but have since accelerated.
IDT Global’s carrier services revenue decreased 31% in 1Q23 to $61.6 million from $89.2 million in 1Q22.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the First Quarter Fiscal 2023 and 2022
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 Adjusted EBITDA for 1Q23 and each fiscal quarter in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, and non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per diluted share (EPS) for 1Q23, 4Q22, and1Q22, all 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 net income (loss) starts with net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP and adds severance expense, stock-based compensation, and other operating expense, and deducts other operating gains. These additions and subtractions are non-cash and/or non-routine items in the relevant fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 periods.
IDT’s measure of non-GAAP EPS is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) by the diluted weighted-average shares.
Management believes that IDT’s Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), 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, non-GAAP net income (loss), 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 (loss), 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, non-GAAP net income (loss), 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 gain (expense), net, which is a component of income (loss) from operations, is excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP EPS. Other operating gain (expense), net includes a gain from the write-off of a contingent consideration liability, legal fees net of insurance claims related to Straight Path Communications Inc.’s stockholders’ putative class action and derivative complaint, and expense for the indemnification of a net2phone cable telephony customer related to patent infringement claims brought against the customer. From time-to-time, IDT may have gains or incur costs related to non-routine legal 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 net income (loss) 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 (loss), 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 (loss), 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 (loss), 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 (loss), 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 (loss) for IDT on a consolidated basis, (b) for non-GAAP net income (loss), net income (loss), and (c) for non-GAAP EPS, diluted earnings (loss) per share.

*Explanation of Key Performance Metrics
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. NRS’ recurring revenue is NRS’ revenue in accordance with GAAP excluding revenue from POS terminal sales. 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. Monthly Average Recurring Revenue per Terminal is useful for comparisons of NRS’ 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.
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.
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 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 are strong indications of the top-line growth and performance of the business.

NRS Launches B2B Marketplace
Marketplace ProvidesWholesale Distributorsand Suppliers with Access to NRS’ Nationwide Network of Independent Retail Stores and Provides NRS Retailers with Access to a Wide Selection of Wholesale Supplies with Tailored Purchasing and Inventory Management Insights to Increase Sales and Cash-Flows
NEWARK, N.J., Dec. 05, 2022 — National Retail Solutions, operator of the leading point-of-sale (POS) platform for independent retailers and a subsidiary of IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT), today announced the launch of the NRS B2B Marketplace.
NRS operates the largest POS network in the country for independent retailers including convenience stores, bodegas, liquor stores, and tobacco stores. These are predominantly small-format, owner-operated stores serving high-density urban communities.
The NRS B2B Marketplace is an e-commerce platform designed to bring wholesale distributors and suppliers together with these independent retailers. Previously, suppliers and distributors were unable to easily reach this large and dynamic retail market because many independent retailers didn’t use order automation, could not meet distributors’ minimum order quantities, and/or had challenging logistical requirements.
From the retailers’ perspective, lack of easy access to wholesale distributors and suppliers has limited the selection of items available, increased supply costs, and made it challenging to efficiently manage inventories.
The NRS B2B Marketplace will provide wholesale distributors and suppliers with access to NRS’ extensive nationwide network of retailers. Because small format stores typically order in small quantities and require frequent shipments, distributors will be able to utilize NRS Cinch, NRS’ in-house delivery service, to arrange cost-effective deliveries directly, or allow NRS Cinch to aggregate orders from multiple retailers to meet minimum order quantities.
The NRS B2B Marketplace will provide retailers with access to a wide selection of wholesale supplies, tailored insights into which items they should carry to increase sales, and advice on optimal order sizes to avoid tying up unnecessary cash and shelf space.
“When a store joins our POS system, it is no longer just a single retail location. It becomes part of our nationwide retail network, and we provide it with the tools and scale it needs to compete effectively against large retail chains. Wholesale distributors can now utilize our B2B Marketplace to access this dynamic retail network with enhanced reach and efficiency,” said Elie Y. Katz, President of NRS.
The NRS B2B Marketplace team will be headed by Pavel Danilov, who has been named NRS’ Vice President for B2B Commerce. Danilov is a tech entrepreneur, who previously served as the Chief Executive Officer of Fridge No More, a New York City-based startup providing ultra-fast grocery delivery. Under his direction, the company built and implemented an inventory management solution powered by AI algorithms that automatically managed reorders based on sales forecasts to ensure efficient and timely replenishment.
“The NRS B2B Marketplace will work in conjunction with our retailers’ POS inventory management software to enable retailers to order the right items and the right amounts of inventory to maximize sales and cash flows,” Danilov explained. “The Marketplace will provide distributors with streamlined access to a large, dynamic customer base that was previously extraordinarily difficult to reach.”
Wholesale distributors and suppliers interested in joining the NRS B2B Marketplace should contact Pavel Danilov (pavel.danilov@idt.net).

Over the prior 12 months, the NRS same-store retail sales data has exhibited a statistically significant correlation with the US Commerce Department’s Advance Monthly Retail Trade data excluding food services (r =.869, p = 0.000003)
The NRSInsights data have not been adjusted to reflect inflation, demographic distributions, seasonal buying patterns, item substitution, or other factors that may facilitate comparisons to other periods, to other same-store retail sales data, or to the US Commerce Department’s retail data.
Same-store data comparisons of October 2022 with October 2021 are derived from approximately 122 million transactions processed through the 11,616 stores on the NRS network that scanned transactions in both months.
