NOTE:
Adjusted EBITDA for all periods presented is a non-GAAP measure representing
income (loss) from operations exclusive of depreciation and amortization,
impairments, restructuring charges, gains on settlements and other, net, and
gain on the sale of interest in AMSO, LLC. It is one of several key metrics used by
management to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and its
individual business units. See
reconciliations provided below.


MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

Howard Jonas,
IDT’s Chairman and CEO, said, “I’m very pleased with our results for both the
fourth quarter and the full 2010 fiscal year.
Our successful restructuring program helped us to achieve substantial
improvements in our bottom line, operating cash flow, and balance sheet for
fiscal 2010 compared to prior years. At
the same time, we continue to invest prudently in our oil shale and other long
term initiatives which, we believe, offer our shareholders superior long-term
growth potential.”

IDT’s Chief Financial Officer, Bill
Pereira, added, “IDT’s core Telecom and Energy businesses
delivered solid operational performances throughout fiscal 2010. IDT Telecom leveraged its distribution network
and network platform to introduce new products and services, contributing to
the third consecutive quarter of sequential growth in both revenue and Adjusted
EBITDA in our Telecom Platform Services segment. IDT Energy reported solid year over year operating
income growth for the fourth quarter with strong demand for electricity spurred
by the hot weather across New York
in June and July, and generated margins that again exceeded expectations.”

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW HIGHLIGHTS

At July 31, 2010, IDT reported $233.8
million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, including $11.8
million of restricted cash and cash equivalents.
Current assets totaled $381.1 million, and
current liabilities totaled $285.0 million. During Q4, IDT sold a building in New Jersey for cash of
$3.1 million and used $2.7 million of the proceeds to repay a portion of the
mortgage secured by the property. The Company recognized a gain of $0.7 million
on the sale.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $8.7 million
in Q4, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2.4 million during
the year ago quarter. Net cash provided
by operating activities during fiscal 2010 totaled $56.2 million compared to
net cash used in operating activities of $100.8 million for fiscal 2009. Capital expenditures in fiscal 2010 totaled $8.3
million, compared to $14.6 million in the prior year.

OPERATING RESULTS BY SEGMENT

Unless otherwise noted, all results are for
the fourth quarter of IDT’s 2010 fiscal year.
In addition, Fabrix T.V., Ltd., which was historically included in
the Telecom Platform Services segment, was transferred to ‘All Other’ in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. To the extent possible, comparative historical
results have been reclassified and restated as if the fiscal 2010 business
segment structure existed in all periods presented, although these results may
not be indicative of the results for the specific segments which would have
been achieved had the business segment structure been in effect during those
periods.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, TPS’ revenues increased
2.3% year over year to $299.7 million, and rose 2.9% sequentially. Compared to both the year ago and sequential
quarters, growth in prepaid services revenues were partially offset by
declining revenues from the wholesale carrier business. (Comparisons of both minutes of use and
financial results versus Q3 are influenced by the three additional calendar
days in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the third quarter, and by
the significant minutes of use typically generated by Mothers’ Day and Fathers’
Day, both of which fall within the fourth quarter of IDT’s fiscal year.)

TPS’ minutes of use totaled 5.6 billion in Q4, a 17.2% increase
compared to 4Q09 and a 3.6% increase compared to the prior quarter. The year over year increase was generated
primarily by TPS’ wholesale carrier and European prepaid services businesses,
while the sequential increase was primarily a function of the additional
calendar days in the fourth quarter.

For fiscal 2010, TPS’ revenues totaled $1,156.7 million, a
2.3% decline compared to fiscal 2009.
Compared to the prior year, prepaid services revenues increased modestly
but were offset by declining revenues in wholesale carrier. TPS’ minutes of use increased 10.5% year over
year to 21.0 billion, driven by strong volume increases in both our prepaid
services and wholesale carrier businesses.

During Q4, revenues in our U.S. prepaid services business increased
15% year over year, despite phasing out sales of low-margin, non-IDT provided, domestic
mobile top-up cards. The revenue
increase is attributable to both IDT’s branded calling cards, and continued
growth in our international mobile top-up (IMTU) card offerings. IMTU cards enable customers to transfer
minutes purchased in the U.S.
directly to accounts held by friends and family at participating wireless
carriers overseas. In addition, prepaid services revenues in Europe – which
were negatively impacted by the weakening of local currencies versus the U.S.
dollar during Q4 – grew in both Q4 and fiscal 2010 compared to the prior year,
as a result of increased sales, primarily in Germany
and Italy. Wholesale carrier revenues declined in
fiscal 2010 compared to the prior year despite substantial growth in minutes of
use, reflecting continued price competition.

TPS’ gross margin percentage in Q4 was 18.6% on gross
profit of $55.7 million. Gross margin
percentage declined 210 basis points year over year as management pursued a
top-line growth strategy in its prepaid services offerings, both in the U.S.
and abroad, coupled with increased sales in the U.S. of lower margin IMTU
cards, partially offset by the phase-out of very low-margin non-IDT provided mobile
domestic top-up card sales. Sequentially,
gross margin percentage increased 50 basis points.

For fiscal 2010, TPS’ gross margin percentage declined 240
basis points compared to the prior year primarily because of the same factors that
influenced the quarter over quarter comparisons.

TPS’ SG&A expense was reduced to $42.9 million in Q4, representing
an 11.6% decline year over year but an increase of 3.5% sequentially. The year over year decline reflects reductions
in legal services, facilities and network maintenance, and call center costs,
partially offset by increases in advertising and marketing costs.
The modest sequential increase
reflects higher advertising and marketing costs, as well as an increase in
compensation costs.

For fiscal 2010, TPS’ SG&A expense totaled $169.0 million,
a 17.0% reduction compared to fiscal 2009, primarily due to reductions in
compensation and benefits, third-party commissions, legal services, and facilities
and network maintenance costs.

TPS generated $11.3 million in Adjusted EBITDA in Q4, a
$0.3 million decrease compared to the year-ago period, but a $1.2 million
increase compared to the prior quarter.

For fiscal 2010, TPS’ Adjusted EBITDA totaled $34.8
million, a $4.5 million increase from the prior year, primarily as a result of
the significant SG&A expense reductions achieved, mostly offset by declines
in revenues and gross profit.

TPS’ depreciation and amortization expense was $7.0 million
in Q4, a 33.7% decline from the year ago period. For fiscal 2010, TPS’ depreciation and
amortization expense was $29.2 million, a 30.7% reduction compared to fiscal
2009. Year over year, the carrying
values of IDT Telecom’s fixed assets declined due to assets becoming fully
depreciated and lower levels of capital expenditures in recent periods.

TPS’ income from operations was $4.5 million in Q4, up
from $0.4 million in 4Q09. Sequentially,
TPS’ income from operations declined from $12.8 million in 3Q10, when TPS
benefitted from a $10.0 million gain on a legal settlement.

For fiscal 2010, TPS’ income from operations totaled $14.4
million, including the impact of the $10.0 million gain on a legal settlement
and $1.6 million in restructuring charges, compared to a loss from operations
of $45.8 million in fiscal 2009, which included impairment charges totaling
$29.1 million and $4.8 million in restructuring charges.

IDT TELECOM: Consumer
Phone Services (CPS)

CPS, which includes sales of both bundled (unlimited local
and long distance) services as well as long distance-only services, has been in
“harvest mode” since fiscal 2006 – maximizing revenues from current customers
while maintaining SG&A and other expenses at the minimum levels essential
to operate the business.

CPS’ 4Q10 revenues were $8.3 million, a 28.5% decline year
over year, and a 4.2% decline sequentially.
For fiscal 2010, CPS’ revenues totaled $37.2 million, a 30.7% decline
compared to fiscal 2009.

Gross margin for CPS in Q4 was 60.1%, a 780 basis point
increase year over year, and a 710 basis point increase sequentially, as
margins for the quarter benefitted from the reversal of certain regulatory
accruals. For fiscal 2010, CPS’ gross
margin averaged 56.2%, a 10 basis point decrease from the prior year.

CPS’ SG&A expense for Q4 was $1.7 million, a 28.5% decline
year over year, and a 12.3% decrease sequentially. For fiscal 2010, SG&A
expense declined to $7.5 million, a 33.2% reduction compared to fiscal 2009.

CPS’ Adjusted EBITDA in Q4 was $3.1 million, a 7.5%
decline year over year, but a 25.9% increase sequentially, due to the gross
margin increase noted above. For fiscal
2010, Adjusted EBITDA totaled $12.7 million, a 33.7% decrease compared to
fiscal 2009.

CPS’ income from operations for Q4 was $3.0 million, an
8.9% decline year over year, but a 23.8% increase compared to the prior
quarter. For fiscal 2010, income from
operations totaled $12.5 million, a 33.0% reduction compared to the prior year.

GENIE ENERGY

IDT Energy’s revenues were $46.5 million during 4Q10, a 25.6%
increase compared to 4Q09, but a 13.7% decrease sequentially. For fiscal
2010, IDT Energy revenues totaled $201.4 million, a 23.9% decline compared to
fiscal 2009 reflecting a decline in both electric and gas prices charged to customers,
and total kilowatt hours (kWh) and therms sold primarily reflecting a reduction
in average meters served.

Total meters served as of July 31, 2010 were approximately 369,000,
6.9% lower than on July 31, 2009 but a
1.6% increase compared to the total on April 30, 2010, the last day of
3Q10. While gross new additions fell year
over year as a result of the restructuring of IDT Energy’s sales and marketing
efforts undertaken in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the average net churn
rate also declined from 4.9% in fiscal 2009 to 3.1% in fiscal 2010. The sequential increase in meters reflects
the impact of customer acquisitions in new markets.

Electric revenue of $40.8 million increased 26.9% compared
to 4Q09, and 38.8% sequentially. Year
over year, kWh sold increased 5.5% as the impact of hotter weather in June and
July of 2010 was only partially offset by the decline in meters served, and
average revenue per kWh increased 20.2% reflecting higher market prices for
electricity. As of July 31, 2010, IDT
Energy served approximately 210,000 electric meters compared to approximately
228,000 at July 31, 2009.

The sequential increase in electric revenue primarily
reflects the result of the seasonal impact on kWh sold, which increased 26.1%, as
well as a 10.1% sequential increase in revenue per kWh. Electric meters served also increased sequentially
by approximately 4,700.

For fiscal 2010, electric revenue was $132.1 million, a
15.9% decline compared to fiscal 2009. kWh
sold declined 2.2% compared to fiscal 2009 primarily reflecting a reduction in
average meters served, while average revenue per kWh declined 14.0% reflecting
lower commodity prices corresponding to lower rates charged to customers for
electricity.

Gas revenue in Q4 increased to $5.7 million, 17.4% higher
than in 4Q09, but 76.9% lower than in 3Q10. Year over year, the increase reflects a 51.7%
increase in revenue per therm, partially offset by a 22.3% decline in therms
sold reflecting a decline in gas meters served and changes in the composition
of IDT Energy’s customer base which reduced therms sold per meter. IDT Energy served approximately 159,000 gas
meters as of July 31, 2010, compared to 169,000 at July 31, 2009 and 159,000 at
April 30, 2010. The sequential decline
in gas revenue was primarily a result of a 69.1% decline in therms sold as a
result of seasonal factors, augmented by a 25.2% decline in revenues per therm.

For fiscal 2010, gas revenues were $69.2 million, a 35.6%
decline compared to fiscal 2009. Factors
contributing to the decline in gas revenue included lower average revenue per
therm – an 18.9% decline year over year – as a result of falling commodity
prices corresponding to lower rates, and decreases in meters served and therms
sold per meter which contributed to a 20.6% decline in therms sold.

Gross margin at IDT Energy was 24.0% in Q4, a 130 basis
point decline compared to the year ago period, and a 510 basis point decrease
compared to the prior quarter.

For fiscal 2010, gross margin averaged 28.7%, a 150 basis
point increase compared to the prior year.
The levels of gross margin obtained throughout fiscal 2010 may not be sustainable
going forward.

SG&A expense in Q4 was $5.5 million, a 28.1% increase
compared to the year ago period, but a 4.4% decrease compared to the prior
quarter. The year over year increase was primarily due to the impact
of customer acquisition programs in New Jersey
and Pennsylvania,
while the sequential decrease primarily reflected a seasonal decrease in
purchase of receivable (POR) fees, partially offset by higher customer
acquisition costs.

For fiscal 2010, SG&A expense was $19.8 million, a 22.9%
decline compared to fiscal 2009. The
reduction was primarily due to lower customer acquisition costs and POR fees reflecting,
in part, the lower pace of gross customer acquisitions following the sales and
marketing restructuring effort. IDT
Energy anticipates that its SG&A expense will increase in fiscal 2011 as a
result of continuing customer acquisition programs in new markets.

Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 was $5.7 million, a 12.5% increase
compared to the year ago, primarily as a result of higher electric and, to a
lesser extent, gas, revenues, partially offset by increased SG&A costs. Sequentially,
Adjusted EBITDA declined 43.0% primarily as the result of the seasonal
reductions in gas revenue and decreased gross profit.

For fiscal 2010, IDT Energy’s Adjusted EBITDA totaled $38.0
million, a 16.5% decrease compared to fiscal 2009 reflecting a significant
decrease in revenues and gross profit partially offset by reduced SG&A expenses.

Income from operations in Q4 was $5.6 million, a 12.3%
increase year over year, and a 43.4% decrease sequentially.

For fiscal 2010, IDT Energy generated $37.8 in income from
operations, a 16.6% decline compared to the prior year.

Genie Oil & Gas

Presently, Genie Oil & Gas’ operating expenses consist primarily
of costs incurred by IEI. IDT accounts
for its 50% stake in AMSO, LLC using the equity method.

Genie Oil & Gas reported a loss from operations of $1.9
million including research and development expenses of $1.6 million in 4Q10
compared to a loss from operations of $0.8 million in 4Q09, and a loss
from operations of $2.0 million in 3Q10.
For fiscal 2010, Genie Oil & Gas’ loss from operations totaled $6.5
million, a 69.1% increase compared to fiscal 2009. Genie Oil & Gas’ loss from operations in
fiscal 2009 is net of a $2.6 million gain on the sale to Total of a 50%
interest in AMSO, LLC.

IDT’s equity in the net loss of AMSO, LLC – $0.5 million in 4Q10
and $1.6 million in the full 2010 fiscal year – is included in “Other income
(expense), net” in its consolidated statement of operations.

During Q4, AMSO, LLC, a joint venture oil shale exploration
and production initiative with Total, SA, continued construction and ongoing
research and development work to prepare an oil shale pilot test to be
conducted in calendar 2011. The pilot test is intended to confirm the accuracy
of several of the key underlying assumptions of AMSO, LLC’s proposed in-situ
heating and retorting process.

IEI holds an exclusive Shale Oil Exploration and Production
License covering 238 square kilometers in the Shfela basin region in Israel.
During Q4, IEI continued resource appraisal and characterization work in the license
area. IEI has begun permitting and other preparatory work required prior to
construction of a pilot plant. The pilot
test will provide a basis for determining the technical, environmental and
economic viability of IEI’s proposed process for extracting oil from shale. If not delayed by regulatory action or a pending
litigation, pilot test construction could begin as early as calendar 2011, and pilot
test operations could begin as early as calendar 2012. The pilot test results would serve as the basis
for permitting and designing any future commercial project.

OTHER RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On July 28, 2010, IDT sold land and a building in Piscataway, New
Jersey for $3.1 million, of which $2.7 million was

the 2010 fiscal year, IDT received a net payment of $5.7 million from the
settlement of an arbitration claim it had brought related to certain auction
rate securities holdings. The securities’ original cost was $14.3 million. At July 31, 2010, the carrying value of these
securities was $0.2 million.

On August 31, 2010, Genie Energy announced the formation of

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the Fourth
Quarter of Fiscal Year 2010

In addition to disclosing
financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), IDT’s earnings
release for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 also disclosed Adjusted EBITDA,
which is a non-GAAP measure that contains certain adjustments to net income
(loss) or income (loss) from operations to eliminate the impact of certain
items that management believes do not truly reflect IDT’s performance.

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 gross profit less selling, general and administrative
expense, bad debt expense and research and development expense. Another way of calculating Adjusted EBITDA is
to start with income (loss) from operations and add (1) depreciation and
amortization, (2) impairments (3) restructuring charges, (4) gains on
settlements and other, net, and (5) gain on sale of interest in AMSO, LLC.
These additions are non-cash and/or non-routine items in the relevant fiscal
2010 and fiscal 2009 periods.

Management believes that
IDT’s Adjusted EBITDA measure provides useful information to both management
and investors by excluding certain expenses and non-routine gains or 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 to evaluate
operating performance in relation to IDT’s competitors. Disclosure of this
financial measure 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. Adjusted EBITDA
may also be an indicator of the strength and performance of IDT’s and the
segment’s ongoing business operations, including the ability to fund capital
expenditures, and meet working capital needs from current operations (as
opposed to cash resources), and to incur and service debt. 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 gross profit, 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 constructed in prior periods. While IDT’s
business may be capital intensive, IDT has significantly reduced its capital
expenditures to date and going forward intends to incur capital expenditures at
the reduced levels. Accordingly, IDT’s telecommunications network is less
costly than in the past, therefore exclusion of depreciation and amortization
charges from IDT’s operating results is a useful indicator of its current
performance.

The impairments and
restructuring charges are also excluded in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.
Impairments are primarily dictated by events and circumstances outside the
control of management that trigger an impairment analysis. Restructuring
charges are 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. In addition, restructuring charges
are decreasing and are expected to remain at the reduced levels for the
foreseeable future. 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.

Finally, the gains on
settlements and other, net in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2010 and
the gain on the sale of an interest in AMSO, LLC in the third quarter of fiscal
2009, which are components of income (loss) from operations, are excluded from
the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.
Although the Company sells or disposes of businesses and sells interests
in businesses from time-to-time and has a number of matters under litigation,
such sales, disposals and/or settlements do not occur each quarter nor are they
part of the Company’s or the relevant segment’s core operating results.

The other calculation of
Adjusted EBITDA consists of gross profit less selling, general and
administrative expense, bad debt 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.

Adjusted EBITDA should be
considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, gross
profit, income (loss) from operations, cash flow from operating activities, net
income (loss) or other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared
in accordance with GAAP. In addition, IDT’s measurement of Adjusted EBITDA may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Following are reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly
comparable GAAP measure – income (loss) from operations for both IDT’s
reportable segments and for IDT on a consolidated basis.
