The 1Q15 results include a gain of $75.1 million on the sale of IDT’s stake in Fabrix Systems.

FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2015 CONSOLIDATED HIGHLIGHTS

(Unless otherwise noted, results are for1Q15 and are compared to 1Q14).

·Revenue decreased to $412.9 million from $420.7 million;
·Direct costs decreased to $343.8 million from $350.3 million;
·SG&A expense decreased to $57.0 million from $57.8 million;

Shmuel Jonas, IDT’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “In our core telecommunications business, I was pleased by the customer base increase and revenue growth of our flagship Boss Revolution PIN-less calling service. Zedge had a good quarter, increasing revenue by better than 40% year over year to $2 million while significantly increasing its user base. IDT’s bottom line this quarter benefitted substantially from the sale of our interest in Fabrix Systems. After realizing a gain of $75 million on the sale, the Board declared a special $0.68 per share dividend distribution during the first quarter, and in light of our balance sheet strength and the continued expansion of our Boss Revolution services, we subsequently increased our quarterly dividend to $0.18 per share.”

 

 

*Throughout this release, Non-GAAP diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA for all periods presented are non-GAAP measures intended to provide useful information that supplements IDT’s or the relevant segment’s core results in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures at the end of this release for an explanation of these terms and their respective reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

 

 

 
 

 

1Q15 OPERATING RESULTS BY SEGMENT

(Results are for 1Q15 and are compared to 1Q14 unless otherwise noted).

TPS

IDT’s Telecom Platform Services (TPS) segment accounted for 97.8% of IDT’s revenue in 1Q15. TPS markets and distributes multiple communications and payment services across four broad business verticals: Retail Communications, Wholesale Termination Services, Payment Services and Hosted Platform Solutions.

 

TPS’ minutes of use were 7.48 billion, an increase from 7.29 billion (+2.6%) in 1Q14. TPS’ 1Q15 revenue was $403.8 million, a decrease from $412.8 million (-2.2%) in the year ago quarter.

·Retail Communications’ revenue was $182.6 million, an increase from $172.5 million (+5.9%) in 1Q14. Sales of international PIN-less calling services on the Boss Revolution platform increased 17.2% year over year due to growth in the number of active Boss Revolution retailers and customers. Boss Revolution PIN-less growth more than offset continued declines in revenue from the sale of traditional disposable prepaid calling cards in the U.S. and overseas. Retail Communications’ revenue comprised 45.2% of TPS’ total revenue in 1Q15.
·Wholesale Termination Services’ revenue was $159.7 million, a decrease from $178.6 million (-10.6%) in 1Q14. Although minutes of use increased by 3.3% compared to the prior year, the traffic mix tilted towards lower revenue per minute destinations in 1Q15, as compared to the previous year. In addition, compared to the previous year, IDT found in 1Q15 fewer pricing shift opportunities in Latin America resulting from disparities in local currency exchange rates. Wholesale Termination Services’ revenue comprised 39.6% of TPS’ total revenue in 1Q15.
·Payment Services’ revenue was $51.2 million, an increase from $50.1 million (+2.1%) in 1Q14. The year over year increase is due primarily to more aggressive pricing on international mobile top-up sales. Revenue from IDT’s nascent international money transfer business was not yet material although it contributed to the revenue increase. Payment Services revenue comprised 12.7% of total TPS revenue in 1Q15.
·Hosted Platform Solutions’ revenue was $10.3 million, a decrease from $11.6 million (-11.2%) in 1Q14. Within IDT’s cable telephony business, IDT renewed multi-year contracts with key cable telephony customers in the second half of fiscal 2014, but at lower rates, reflecting the long term decline in the underlying costs of hosted telephony services. In addition, several of our other hosted managed services operators are continuing to experience attrition in their subscriber customer base. Hosted Platform Solutions’ revenue comprised 2.5% of total TPS revenue in 1Q15.

TPS’ direct cost of revenue as a percentage of TPS’ revenue was 84.6% in 1Q15, an increase of 20 basis points year over year. The change primarily reflects a decrease in Wholesale Termination Service’s average margin per minute of use, partially offset by the growth of relatively higher margin Retail Communications revenue.

TPS’ SG&A expense increased to $51.2 million from $49.7 million (+3.0%) in 1Q14. Expressed as a percentage of TPS’ revenue, TPS’ 1Q15 SG&A increased to 12.7% from 12.0%, due primarily to higher personnel costs and increased marketing and advertising expense. To somewhat constrain SG&A expense on a go-forward basis, IDT downsized some sales and administrative personnel in both Europe and the U.S. prior to the close of 1Q15.

 
 

 

TPS’ Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $11.0 million from $14.8 million (-25.8%) in 1Q14, primarily reflecting the decrease in revenue and the increase in SG&A expense.

TPS’ depreciation and amortization expense increased to $3.8 million compared to $3.2 million (+17.2%) in 1Q14, due to increased capital investment in recent quarters in new products, including IDT Messaging, Net2Phone Office, and feature-rich enhancements to the Boss Revolution app.

TPS’ income from operations in 1Q15 decreased to $5.7 million from $11.9 million (-52.4%) in 1Q14. Income from operations in 1Q15 includes the impact of severance expense of $1.5 million.. In 1Q14, income from operations included a non-routine operating gain related to a legal matter of $0.3 million.

CPS

Consumer Phone Services (CPS) sells local and long distance services in the United States. CPS has been in harvest mode since fiscal 2006 -- maximizing revenue from current customers while maintaining SG&A and other expenses at the minimum levels essential to operate the business.

 

CPS’ revenue was $2.3 million compared to $3.0 million (-23.4%) in 1Q14. Income from operations was $0.4 million in both the first quarter of FY 2015 and FY 2014. The results were in line with expectations.

Zedge

Zedge owns and operates a popular platform for mobile phone consumers interested in obtaining free, high quality games, apps, and mobile phone customization content including ringtones, wallpapers, and notification sounds. Zedge’s app, available on Android, iOS and Windows Mobile, boasts more than 120 million installs. Zedge has averaged among the top twenty most popular apps in the Google Play store in the U.S. for the last five years and is currently in the top three most popular apps in the iTunes Entertainment category. As a result of Zedge’s large, active user base, it is able to offer advertisers, game developers, musicians and artists a scalable, non-incentivized, user acquisition platform with global reach. IDT currently owns approximately 83% (69% on a fully diluted basis) of Zedge.

Zedge’s revenue is generated by selling advertising inventory across its apps and websites and from mobile game installations on Android. Zedge’s revenue increased to $2.0 million in 1Q15 from $1.4 million in 1Q14 (+40.9%). Zedge’s rapidly growing Android user base and the introduction of Zedge on iOS during fiscal 2014 were the key revenue growth drivers. As of October 31, 2014, active Zedge installs were 55 million compared to 36 million a year earlier.

Zedge’s SG&A expense was $1.2 million compared to $0.8 million (+42.6%) in 1Q14, as Zedge continued to expand its product and technology teams. To this end the Company has been investing in several new initiatives including social integration, new content types and marketing tools.

Zedge’s Adjusted EBITDA was $0.6 million, compared to $0.4 million in 1Q14. Zedge’s income from operations was $0.3 million, compared to $0.2 million in 1Q14.

 
 

All Other

All Other’s results for 1Q15 include Fabrix, a software development company specializing in highly efficient cloud-based video processing, storage and delivery, IDT’s real estate holdings and other small businesses. IDT sold its majority stake in Fabrix in early October 2014. Consequently, Fabrix’s operations were consolidated for only the first two months of the quarter, at which point Fabrix was deconsolidated.

All Other’s revenue was $4.8 million, an increase from $3.4 million (+39.9%) in 1Q14. All Other’s income from operations was $76.2 million (which includes the $75.1 million gain on the sale of interest in Fabrix), compared to a loss from operations of $0.6 million in 1Q14.

OTHER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Consolidated results in all periods presented include corporate overhead. In 1Q15, Corporate G&A expense decreased to $3.0 million compared to $4.5 million in year ago quarter.

 

As of October 31, 2014, IDT had $183.3 million in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. In addition, IDT had $60.6 million in current restricted cash and cash equivalents, which included $56.7 million in customer deposits held by IDT’s Gibraltar based bank. Notes payable, consisting of a mortgage on real estate, totaled $6.6 million. Total current assets were $358.5 million and total current liabilities were $341.8 million.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities during 1Q15 was $8.3 million, compared to $11.0 million during 1Q14. For the same periods, capital expenditures were $6.1 million compared to $3.6 million.

 

DIVIDEND

In November 2014, IDT paid a special dividend of $0.68 per share, $15.8 million in the aggregate, to holders of record of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock as of the close of business on November 14, 2014.

 

IDT has increased its quarterly dividend to $0.18 per share of Class A and Class B common stock for the first quarter of its fiscal year 2015. The dividend will be paid on or about December 19, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 15, 2014. The ex-dividend date will be December 11, 2014.

 

Both distributions will be treated as returns of capital for tax purposes.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the First Quarter Fiscal 2015

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 the first quarters of fiscal 2015 and 2014, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share, or EPS, 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 revenues less direct cost of revenues, selling, general and administrative expense and research and development expense. Another way of calculating Adjusted EBITDA is to start with income (loss) from operations, add depreciation and amortization, severance expense, and other operating losses, and subtract the gain on the sale of interest in Fabrix Systems Ltd. (for the first quarter of fiscal 2015) and other operating gains.

IDT’s measure of non-GAAP net income starts with net income in accordance with GAAP and adds depreciation and amortization, severance expense, other operating losses, and stock-based compensation, and subtracts the gain on the sale of interest in Fabrix Systems Ltd. (for the first quarter of fiscal 2015), other operating gains, and reversals of the valuation allowance on deferred income tax assets.

IDT’s measure of non-GAAP EPS is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by the basic and diluted weighted-average shares.

These additions and subtractions are non-cash and/or non-routine items in the relevant fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 periods.

Management believes that IDT’s Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS measures provide 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, non-GAAP net income 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 at this time.

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 constructed in prior periods. IDT’s operating results exclusive of depreciation and amortization charges are useful indicators of its current performance.

Severance expense is also excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income 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.

Gain on the sale of interest in Fabrix Systems Ltd. and other operating gains (losses), net, which are components of income (loss) from operations, are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS. From time-to-time, IDT will select and incubate promising early stage businesses outside of its core business for eventual sale or spin-off to its stockholders. Also, IDT has insurance claims and settlements of claims from time-to-time, and has a number of matters under litigation. However, these gains and losses do not occur each quarter nor are they part of IDT’s or the relevant segment’s core operating results.

 
 

 

The other calculation of Adjusted EBITDA consists of revenues less direct cost of revenues, selling, general and administrative 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.

Stock-based compensation recognized by IDT and other companies may not be comparable because of the various valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of types of awards that are permitted under GAAP. Stock-based compensation is excluded from IDT’s calculation of non-GAAP net income 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.

Reversals of the valuation allowance on deferred income tax assets are excluded from IDT’s calculation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS because these reversals are non-cash adjustments that are only indirectly related to the current results of IDT’s core operations. The reversals arise when IDT determines that it is more likely than not that a portion of its deferred income tax assets will be realized based on projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities. The assessment of the valuation allowance requires significant subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.

Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income 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, non-GAAP net income 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 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, (b) for non-GAAP net income, net income and, (c) for non-GAAP EPS, basic and diluted earnings per share.
