IDT Corporation Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 Results

  • Consolidated revenue decreased to $355.2 million from $383.9 million;

MANAGEMENT REMARKS

IDT's Chief Executive Officer Shmuel Jonas said, "Yesterday, IDT spun off to our stockholders our interest in Zedge as an independent public company. The hugely popular and fast growing Zedge app for mobile device personalization began trading the regular way on the NYSE MKT today.

"I want to congratulate the entire Zedge team, and particularly Tom Arnoy and Jonathan Reich, and wish them good luck and much success as an independent company. We believe Zedge has tremendous potential and the right team to fully realize it.

"IDT delivered solid bottom line results this quarter. The sequential revenue decrease -- primarily from our wholesale carrier business -- was disappointing but had a muted impact on our bottom line. That's largely because the revenue we lost was very low margin, and because we continue to manage our overhead spending even as we invest more heavily in our growth initiatives."

3Q16 OPERATING RESULTS BY SEGMENT
(Results are for 3Q16 and comparisons are to 3Q15 unless otherwise noted)

TPS
IDT's Telecom Platform Services (TPS) segment accounted for 98.7% of IDT's revenue in 3Q16 compared to 98.8% in 3Q15 and 98.5% in the prior quarter. TPS markets and distributes multiple communications and payment services across four broad business verticals: Retail Communications, Wholesale Carrier Services, Payment Services and Hosted Platform Solutions.

TPS' quarterly minutes of use totaled 6.97 billion compared to 7.15 billion (-2.5%) in 3Q15 and 7.03 billion (-0.8%) in 2Q16. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects a decline in Retail Communications minutes, led primarily by the decline in Boss Revolution voice traffic over the US-to-Mexico corridor. Adjusting for the lower number of days in our fiscal Q3 as compared to our fiscal Q2, TPS minutes of use, including Boss Revolution voice traffic, actually increased by 1.4%.

TPS' revenue was $350.4 million compared to $379.1 million (-7.6%) in the year ago quarter and $376.7 million (-7.0%) in the prior quarter. The year over year decrease is the result of declines in revenue within the Retail Communications and Wholesale Carrier Services verticals. The sequential decrease was generated predominantly by a decline in Wholesale Carrier Services' revenues.

  • Retail Communications - Revenue decreased 10.1% year over year, driven primarily by lower sales of traditional prepaid cards in the US and overseas. Sales of IDT's flagship Boss Revolution international calling service, which is the dominant offering in the Retail Communications vertical, declined 4.5% year over year. The year over year revenue decline at Boss Revolution primarily reflects the impact of a move toward deregulation of Mexico's telecommunications markets. As discussed in prior quarters, deregulation led to a dramatic reduction in the cost of terminating calls from the US to Mexico -- formerly Boss Revolution's largest calling corridor. Exclusive of the US to Mexico route, revenue generated by Boss Revolution's international calling service increased in 3Q16 by approximately 1% compared to the year ago quarter. On a per-day basis, Retail Communications revenue decreased 0.3% compared to 2Q16. Sales of the Boss Revolution calling service increased 1.1% on a per-day basis but the increase did not fully offset the continued decline in sales of traditional prepaid card products.
  • Wholesale Carrier Services - Revenue decreased 8.6% year over year on a traffic mix-shift to lower revenue per minute corridors that more than offset a 2.6% increase in minutes of use. Sequentially, revenue decreased 16.3% reflecting the loss of several high volume, but very low margin, customers.
  • Payment Services - Revenue increased 6.5% year over year on continued increases in sales of airtime top-up services supplemented by the expansion of IDT's early stage international money transfer business.
  • Hosted Platform Solutions - Revenue decreased by 20.1% year over year, in-line with expectations and reflective of reductions in rates and subscribers for telephony services provided by IDT to its cable operator customers.

TPS' direct cost of revenue as a percentage of TPS' revenue was 83.4% in 3Q16, an increase of 30 basis points year over year, and a decrease of 120 basis points sequentially, in both cases mostly due to changes in the revenue mix between sales of higher margin Retail Communications revenues as compared to relatively lower margin Wholesale Carrier Services revenues.

TPS' SG&A expense decreased to $46.7 million from $48.6 million (-3.9%) in 3Q15 and from $46.8 million (-0.1%) in 2Q16. The year over year decrease primarily reflects reduced employee compensation costs, after headcount reductions implemented in fiscal 2015, lower marketing and advertising expense, and a reduction in legal fees.

TPS' Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $11.5 million from $15.3 million (-24.8%) in 3Q15 and increased from $11.3 million (+1.8%) in 2Q16. The year over year decrease was mostly due to the decrease in revenues and increase in direct cost as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by the reduction in SG&A expense.

TPS' depreciation and amortization expense was $4.9 million in 3Q16, an increase from $4.1 million (+20.9%) in 3Q15 and $4.7 million (+6.1%) in 2Q16. Depreciation increased due to higher levels of capital expenditures in recent periods to support new product development, including IDT Messaging, PICUP, and the Boss Revolution Calling App.

TPS' income from operations increased to $6.3 million from $5.6 million (+12.8%) in 3Q15 and was unchanged compared to 2Q16. Income from operations included the impact of severance expense of $0.2 million in 3Q16 and $5.6 million in 3Q15.

CPS

Consumer Phone Services (CPS) sells local and long distance services domestically in 11 states, marketed under the brand name IDT America. CPS has been in harvest mode for the last decade, maximizing revenue from current customers while maintaining SG&A and other expenses at the minimum levels essential to operate the business. Results this quarter conformed to expectations.

CPS' revenue was $1.7 million and income from operations was $351 thousand.

ALL OTHER

All Other included Zedge, one of the most popular content platforms for mobile device personalization including ringtones, wallpapers, home screen icons and game recommendations, as well as IDT's real estate holdings and other small businesses. Zedge was spun off from IDT on June 1, 2016.

Zedge's revenue in 3Q16 was $2.6 million, an increase from $2.2 million (+17.0%) in 3Q15 and a decrease from $3.5 million (-27.1%) in 2Q16. The year over year increase was driven by continued user growth and increased customer engagement. The sequential decrease conformed to expectation and reflected seasonal factors that increased revenue in the second quarter. Zedge generated income from operations of $239 thousand in 3Q16 compared $123 thousand in the year ago quarter, and $1.7 million in 2Q16.

All Other's revenue was $3.1 million in 3Q16 compared to $2.7 million (+14.1%) in 3Q15 and to $4.0 million (-23.1%) in 3Q16. Zedge and IDT's real estate holdings generated all of All Other's revenue in each of these periods.

All Other's income from operations was $1.8 million in 3Q16 compared to $1.6 million in 3Q15 and unchanged compared to 2Q16. Income from operations in 3Q16 and 3Q15 included gains of $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively on the sale of Fabrix.

OTHER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Consolidated results for all periods presented include corporate overhead. In 3Q16, corporate G&A expense was $2.8 million compared to $2.9 million (-2.0%) in the year ago quarter and $2.1 million (+35.9%) in the prior quarter. The sequential increase reflected increased legal expense.

Net income attributable to IDT increased to $4.2 million from $565 thousand in the year ago quarter and $4.1 million in the prior quarter. The year over year improvement was due primarily to severance expense of $6.2 million in the year ago quarter and the reduction in SG&A expense.

At April 30, 2016, IDT had $147.8 million in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Additionally, at that date, IDT reported $99.8 million in current restricted cash and cash equivalents, nearly all of which represents customer deposits held by IDT's Gibraltar-based bank. At quarter end, current assets totaled $336.8 million and current liabilities were $335.3 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities during 3Q16 was $10.7 million compared to $6.8 million during 3Q15 and $11.2 million in 2Q16. For the same periods, capital expenditures were $4.7 million compared to $8.9 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 and 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 third quarters of fiscal 2016 and 2015, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted 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 from operations, add depreciation and amortization, severance expense, and other operating losses, and subtracts the gain on the sale of interest in Fabrix Systems Ltd.

IDT's measure of non-GAAP net income starts with net income in accordance with GAAP and adds depreciation and amortization, severance expense, stock-based compensation, and other operating losses, and subtracts the gain on the sale of interest in Fabrix Systems Ltd.

IDT's measure of non-GAAP diluted EPS 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 2016 and fiscal 2015 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 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.

Other operating losses and gain on the sale of interest in Fabrix Systems Ltd., which are components of income from operations, are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS. From time-to-time, IDT will dispose of certain assets or incur costs related to legal matters. In addition, IDT may select and incubate promising early stage businesses outside of its core business for eventual sale or spin-off to its stockholders. However, such losses or gains 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 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 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 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.
