REMARKS BY SHMUEL JONAS, CEO
“NRS, BOSS Money and net2phone, our three primary high-growth businesses, again performed very well this quarter. Their formula is simple – delivering better value and superior customer experiences. I’m pleased that they continued on their growth trajectories while remaining very focused on improving their bottom lines.
“Each of these businesses grew robustly in the second quarter. In addition to adding a record number of net new terminals this quarter, NRS once again more than doubled its recurring revenue led by a year over year jump in advertising and data revenue. net2phone achieved 30% year over year subscription revenue growth with a 35% increase in our Latin American markets and a 23% increase in US-based revenue. At BOSS Money, transaction volumes through both our retail and direct-to-consumer sales channels increased by 39% year over year, as we continued to leverage the synergies between the two channels.
“Led by their contributions, IDT delivered significant year over year increases in Adjusted EBITDA, income from operations, and EPS.”

- BOSS Money average revenue per transaction* increased 5.7% in 2Q23 to $5.77 from $5.46 in 2Q22. The increase was driven by unusually favorable economics on certain high-volume African corridors that dissipated late in the quarter and by the development and introduction of new platform functionalities enabling more flexible and granular pricing strategies.

- The continued improvements in loss from operations and Adjusted EBITDA reflect multiple factors: the strengthening of unit economics as the business scales and revenue increases; the acquisition of a CCaaS provider in 3Q22 and subsequent increases in higher ARPU, higher margin CCaaS seats; a continued focus on cost control; and, investment in customer acquisition within geographic markets and verticals that yield higher returns on investment.
Traditional Communications
In 2Q23 and 2Q22, the Traditional Communications segment accounted for 81.5% and 88.5% of IDT’s consolidated revenue, respectively.

| Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 19.6 | $ | 19.7 | $ | 22.3 | $ | (2.7 | ) |
Take–Aways:
- The year-over-year decrease in IDT Digital Payments revenue reflects the deterioration of a key corridor that was particularly impactful to sales in the lower margin wholesale and retail channels and so had a limited impact on margin profitability. Revenue in the higher margin direct to consumer channel increased 6% over the same period.
- BOSS Revolution Calling revenue decreased 17% in 2Q23 to $82.8 million from $100.0 million in 2Q22. IDT Global’s carrier services revenue decreased 20% in 2Q23 to $58.6 million from $73.1 million in 2Q22. These decreases continue to reflect the long-standing industry-wide decline in the paid minute calling markets and are in line with expectations.
- In February, IDT Digital Payments launched Zendit, a cloud-based, prepaid-as-a-service platform enabling businesses to easily add a curated menu of airtime top-ups and other cross-border prepaid offerings to their apps and websites.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the
Second 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 for 2Q23, 1Q23, and 2Q22, 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 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.
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 gain (expense), net, which is a component of income (loss) from operations, is excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS. Other operating gain (expense), net primarily includes gains from the write-off of a contingent consideration liabilities, 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 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.

*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. 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.
