IDT Corporation Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2020 Results

 

NEWARK, NJ — June 4, 2020: IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT) reported net income per diluted share of $0.02 and Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share* of $0.08 on revenue of $321.3 million for the third quarter of FY 2020, the three months ended April 30, 2020.

 

3Q FY20 HIGHLIGHTS

(Results are for 3Q20 and are compared to 3Q19)

 

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, IDT employees world-wide safely transitioned to work from home.

 

COVID-19 had a mixed financial impact during the quarter with BOSS Revolution customers making longer phone calls, sending an increased number of mobile top-ups, and executing more money remittances online. Conversely, sales originating through retailers and channel partners slowed in March and April before beginning to rebound after the quarter close. Carrier Services revenue was impacted by the closure of corporate offices and the decline of commerce globally.

 

Consolidated revenue decreased 5.8% to $321.3 million. Declines in Carrier Services and BOSS Revolution Calling revenue were partially offset by increased sales of Mobile Top-Up and revenue generated by IDT’s growth initiatives.

 

Consolidated revenue-less-direct-cost-of-revenue increased 6.9% to $62.5 million, the third consecutive year-over-year quarterly increase. IDT’s higher-margin growth initiatives have been contributing a steadily increasing share of consolidated revenue, and the resulting increase in their margin contribution has more than offset the declining contribution of IDT’s lower-margin core offerings.

 

net2phone-UCaaS seats increased 54% to 137,000 as of April 30, 2020 as subscription revenue increased 34.6% to $7.7 million. During the quarter, net2phone introduced an integration of its cloud communications offering with Microsoft Teams and a secure video conferencing solution, Huddle (in beta).

 

BOSS Revolution Money Transfer revenue increased 94.6% to $11.8 million on increased transaction volumes and favorable foreign exchange market conditions.

 

NRS served 8,800 active retailers on April 30, 2020, an increase from 7,200 a year earlier. NRS’ revenue increased 87.9% to $2.9 million.

 

REMARKS BY SHMUEL JONAS, CEO

 

“Our team did an incredible job of rapidly transitioning to work from home, and we did not miss a beat during this terrible pandemic. I want to especially thank and recognize our frontline salespeople and delivery teammates for continuing to serve our retailers and channel partners throughout this challenging time.

 

“Results for the quarter were highlighted by the resilience of our business and by the increased contribution from our higher margin growth initiatives that more than offset the decrease in contribution from our lower margin core offerings.

“Across all of our businesses, we are very focused on adapting to meet the evolving needs of our customers as the pandemic plays out. Our team has done a very good job being responsive and meeting the challenge thus far. However, we remain mindful that current economic conditions, if enduring, will create additional hardship for many of our customers over the coming months.”

TPS Segment Takeaways:

 

The decrease in revenue from TPS’ core offerings continue to reflect long-term secular headwinds in the paid minute calling market. Revenue decreases from BOSS Revolution Calling and Carrier Services were partially offset by increased Mobile Top-Up sales.

 

The increase in BOSS Revolution Money Transfer revenue was driven by increased transaction volumes and favorable foreign exchange market conditions.

 

The increase in NRS revenue was driven by growth in monthly subscription fees, advertising sales and an increase in credit card processing customers. NRS increased the number of POS terminals active in its network as of April 30, 2020 to approximately 8,800 from 7,200 a year earlier.

 

The increase in revenue less direct cost of revenue was driven primarily by contributions from BOSS Revolution Money Transfer, as well as Mobile Top-Up and NRS, which together more than offset declines in other core offerings. The rise in BOSS Revolution Money Transfer contribution resulted from increased transaction volumes and increased foreign exchange revenue derived, in part, from strategies leveraging the strengthened US dollar and other transient exchange market conditions.

 

net2phone Segment Takeaways:

 

net2phone-UCaaS revenue increased 22.3% to $8.1 million, led by growth in international and US markets, partially offset by strengthening of the US dollar compared to local currencies in key overseas markets served by net2phone-UCaaS. Subscription revenue (exclusive of equipment sales) increased 34.6% to $7.7 million;

 

net2phone’s cloud communications offering served 137,000 seats as of April 30, 2020, exclusive of a small number of seats acquired via the RingSouth acquisition in 2Q20, compared to 89,000 a year earlier and 123,000 as of January 31, 2020. Customer base growth slowed in the second half of the quarter, as sales became increasingly difficult as the pandemic spread in key markets.

 

NOTES ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Consolidated results for all periods presented include corporate overhead. Corporate G&A expense decreased to $2.3 million in 3Q20 from $2.4 million in 3Q19.

 

As of April 30, 2020, IDT held $70.5 million in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, debt securities and current equity investments. Current assets totaled $291.9 million and current liabilities totaled $308.5 million.

 

Net cash used in operating activities during 3Q20 was $47.4 million, including the impact of a $46.7 million decrease in customer deposits at IDT’s Gibraltar-based bank, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $9.3 million in the year ago quarter, including a $4.1 million increase in customer deposits at the bank.

 

Capital expenditures were $4.2 million and $4.3 million in 3Q20 and 3Q19, respectively.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the

Third Quarter Fiscal 2020 and 2019 and Explanation of Key Performance Metric

 

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 3Q20, 2Q20, and 3Q19, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share, 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 revenue less direct cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expense. Another way of calculating Adjusted EBITDA is to start with income (loss) from operations, add depreciation and amortization, severance expense, and other operating expense, and deduct other operating gains.

 

IDT’s measure of non-GAAP net income starts with net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP and adds severance expense, stock-based compensation, and other operating expense, net.

 

IDT’s measure of non-GAAP earnings per share 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 2020 and fiscal 2019 periods.

 

Management believes that IDT’s Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share measures 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 and non-GAAP earnings per share 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 and non-GAAP earnings per share. 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, net, which is a component of income (loss) from operations, is excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share. Other operating expense, net includes legal fees related to Straight Path Communications Inc.’s stockholders’ putative class action and derivative complaint, expense for the indemnification of a net2phone cable telephony customer related to patent infringement claims brought against the customer, and accruals for non-income related taxes related to one of IDT’s foreign entities,. From time-to-time, IDT may incur costs related to non-routine legal and tax matters, however, these matters do not generally occur each quarter. IDT does not believe the gains or losses from these non-routine matters are components of IDT’s or the relevant segment’s core operating results.

The other calculation of Adjusted EBITDA consists of revenue less direct cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative 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 earnings per share 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 earnings per share 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 (loss) 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 earnings per share 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 earnings per share 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, net income (loss), and (c) for non-GAAP earnings per share, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.

 

Revenue less direct cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is a financial metric that measures changes in our revenue relative to changes in direct cost of revenue during the same period. Revenue and direct cost of revenue in this metric are from IDT’s consolidated statements of operations in accordance with GAAP. Revenue less direct cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is a ratio in which revenue less direct cost of revenue is the numerator and revenue are the denominator. It is useful for monitoring trends in the generation of revenue as well as for evaluating the net contribution of our revenue.
