IDT CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of IDT Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “IDT”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2024. The balance sheet at July 31, 2023 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

The Company’s fiscal year ends on July 31 of each calendar year. Each reference below to a fiscal year refers to the fiscal year ending in the calendar year indicated (e.g., fiscal 2024 refers to the fiscal year ending July 31, 2024).

 

As of January 31, 2024, the Company owned 94.0% of the outstanding shares of its subsidiary, net2phone 2.0, Inc. (“net2phone 2.0”), which owns and operates the net2phone segment, and 81.2% of the outstanding shares of National Retail Solutions (“NRS”), and, on a fully diluted basis, assuming all the vesting criteria related to various rights granted have been met and other assumptions, the Company would own 90.8% of net2phone 2.0 and 78.9% of NRS.

 

Reclassifications

 

From and after August 1, 2023, the Company includes depreciation and amortization in “Direct cost of revenues” and “Selling, general and administrative” expense and is reporting gross profit (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) in the consolidated statements of income. Prior to August 1, 2023, depreciation and amortization was a separate caption in the consolidated statements of income. Depreciation and amortization expense of $5.0 million in the three months ended January 31, 2023 was reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation as follows: $1.1 million was reclassified to “Direct cost of revenues” and $3.9 million was reclassified to “Selling, general and administrative” expense, and depreciation and amortization expense of $9.8 million in the six months ended January 31, 2023 was reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation as follows: $2.1 million was reclassified to “Direct cost of revenues” and $7.7 million was reclassified to “Selling, general and administrative” expense.

 

In the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash provided by “Trade accounts receivable” in the six months ended January 31, 2023 of $13.8 million was reclassified to “Settlement assets, disbursement prefunding, prepaid expenses, other current assets, and other assets” to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

 

On August 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, that changed the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For receivables, entities are required to use a new forward-looking current expected credit loss model to determine its allowance for credit losses, which replaced the allowance for doubtful accounts. When determining the allowance for credit losses for its trade accounts receivable, the Company considers the probability of recoverability of accounts receivable based on past experience, taking into account current collection trends and general economic factors, including bankruptcy rates. The Company also considers future economic trends to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of the asset. Credit risks will be assessed based on historical write-offs, net of recoveries, as well as an analysis of the aged accounts receivable balances with allowances generally increasing as the receivable ages. Accounts receivable may be fully reserved for when specific collection issues are known to exist, such as pending bankruptcies. Account balances are written off against the allowance when it is determined that the receivable will not be recovered. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, the concept of “other-than-temporary” impairment was replaced by a determination whether any impairment is a result of a credit loss or other factors. The portion of the unrealized loss that is the result of a credit loss is recognized as an allowance and a corresponding expense recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income. Unrealized loss that is not the result of a credit loss is recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the consolidated balance sheets. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and it was not necessary to record a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of August 1, 2023.

Note 2—Business Segment Information

 

The Company has four reportable business segments, NRS, Fintech, net2phone, and Traditional Communications. Any items not included within, or allocated to, one of the segments is presented under “Corporate.”

 

The NRS segment is an operator of a nationwide point-of-sale (“POS”) network providing independent retailers with store management software, electronic payment processing, and other ancillary merchant services. NRS’ POS platform provides marketers with digital out-of-home advertising and transaction data.

 

The Fintech segment is comprised of: (i) BOSS Money, a provider of international money remittance and related value/payment transfer services; and (ii) other, significantly smaller, financial services businesses, including Leaf Global Fintech Corporation (“Leaf”), a provider of digital wallet services in emerging markets, a variable interest entity that operates money transfer businesses, and IDT Financial Services Limited (“IDT Financial Services”), the Company’s Gibraltar-based bank.

 

The net2phone segment is comprised of net2phone’s cloud communications and contact center offerings.

 

The Traditional Communications segment includes: (i) IDT Digital Payments, which enables customers to transfer airtime and bundles of airtime, messaging, and data to international and domestic mobile accounts; (ii) BOSS Revolution Calling, an international long-distance calling service marketed primarily to immigrant communities in the United States and Canada; and (iii) IDT Global, a wholesale provider of international voice and SMS termination and outsourced traffic management solutions to telecoms worldwide. Traditional Communications also includes other small businesses and offerings including early-stage business initiatives and mature businesses in harvest mode.

 

The Company’s reportable segments are distinguished by types of service, customers, and methods used to provide their services. The operating results of these business segments are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as the accounting policies of the Company as a whole. There are no significant asymmetrical allocations to segments. The Company evaluates the performance of its business segments based primarily on income (loss) from operations.

 

Corporate costs mainly include compensation, consulting fees, treasury, tax and accounting services, human resources, corporate purchasing, corporate governance including Board of Directors’ fees, internal and external audit, investor relations, corporate insurance, corporate legal, and other corporate-related general and administrative expenses. Corporate does not generate any revenues, nor does it incur any direct cost of revenues.

Accounts Receivable and Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the time of billing to the Company’s customers. Trade accounts receivable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets represent unconditional rights to consideration. The Company would record a contract asset when revenue is recognized in advance of its right to bill and receive consideration. The Company has not currently identified any contract assets.

 

Contract liabilities arise when the Company receives consideration or bills its customers prior to providing the goods or services promised in the contract. The Company’s contract liability balance is primarily payments received for prepaid BOSS Revolution Calling. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when services are provided to the customer. The contract liability balances are presented in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as “Deferred revenue”.

Deferred Customer Contract Acquisition and Fulfillment Costs

 

The Company recognizes as an asset its incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer that it expects to recover. The Company’s incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer are sales commissions paid to employees and third parties on sales to end users. If the amortization period were one year or less for the asset that would be recognized from deferring these costs, the Company applies the practical expedient whereby the Company charges these costs to expense when incurred. For net2phone sales, the Company defers these costs and amortizes them over the expected customer relationship period when it is expected to exceed one year.

 

The Company’s costs to fulfill its contracts do not meet the criteria to be recognized as an asset, therefore these costs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

The Company’s deferred customer contract acquisition costs were as follows:

Note 4—Leases

 

The Company’s leases primarily consist of operating leases for office space. These leases have remaining terms from less than one year to six years. Certain of these leases contain renewal options that may be exercised and/or options to terminate the lease. The Company has concluded that it is not reasonably certain that it would exercise any of these options.

 

net2phone is the lessee under equipment leases that are classified as finance leases. The assets and liabilities related to these finance leases are not material to the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The gross unrealized losses in the table above are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the consolidated balance sheets. As of January 31, 2024, the Company determined that the unrealized losses were due to changes in interest rates or market liquidity and were not due to credit losses. In addition, as of January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, the Company did not intend to sell any of the securities with unrealized losses, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell any of these securities before recovery of the unrealized losses, which may be at maturity.

 

Proceeds from maturities and sales of debt securities and redemptions of equity investments were $14.2 million and $16.1 million in the three months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $31.2 million and $27.5 million in the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Equity Method Investment

 

The Company has an investment in shares of convertible preferred stock of a communications company (the equity method investee, or “EMI”). As of January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, the Company’s ownership was 33.4% and 33.3%, respectively, of the EMI’s outstanding shares on an as converted basis. The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method since the Company can exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the EMI but does not have a controlling interest.

 

The Company determined that on the dates of the acquisitions of the EMI’s shares, there were differences between its investment in the EMI and its proportional interest in the equity of the EMI of an aggregate of $8.2 million, which represented the share of the EMI’s customer list on the dates of the acquisitions attributed to the Company’s interest in the EMI. These basis differences are being amortized over the 6-year estimated life of the customer list. In the accompanying consolidated statements of income, amortization of equity method basis difference is included in the equity in the net loss of investee, which is recorded in “Other income (expense), net” (see Note 17).

 

In February 2024, each of the EMI’s shareholders (including the Company) agreed to purchase additional shares of the EMI’s convertible preferred stock. The Company paid $0.3 million in February 2024 and is committed to pay $0.2 million in March 2024 to purchase the additional shares.

In the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid an aggregate of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for contingent consideration related to prior acquisitions. In addition, in January 2024, the Company determined that the requirement for a contingent consideration payment related to an acquisition in a prior period would not be met, and, in September 2022, the Company determined that the requirements for a portion of the contingent consideration payments related to the Leaf acquisition would not be met. The Company recognized gains on the write-off of these contingent consideration payment obligations, which were included in “Other operating (expense) gain, net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

 

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

 

The estimated fair value of the Company’s other financial instruments was determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting these data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.

 

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, settlement assets, other current assets, customer deposits, settlement liabilities, and other current liabilities. At January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, the carrying amount of these assets and liabilities approximated fair value because of the short period of time to maturity. The fair value estimates for cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents were classified as Level 1 and settlement assets, other current assets, customer deposits, settlement liabilities, and other current liabilities were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other assets and other liabilities. At January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, the carrying amount of these assets and liabilities approximated fair value. The fair values were estimated based on the Company’s assumptions, which were classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Note 9—Variable Interest Entity

 

The Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that operates money transfer businesses. The Company determined that, effective May 31, 2021, it had the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance, and the Company has the obligation to absorb losses of and the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to it. As a result, the Company consolidates the VIE. The Company does not currently own any interest in the VIE and thus the net income incurred by the VIE was attributed to noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

 

The VIE’s net (loss) income and aggregate funding provided by (repaid to) the Company were as follows:

Note 11—Revolving Credit Facility

 

The Company’s subsidiary, IDT Telecom, Inc. (“IDT Telecom”), entered into a credit agreement, dated as of May 17, 2021, with TD Bank, N.A. for a revolving credit facility for up to a maximum principal amount of $25.0 million. As of July 28, 2023, IDT Telecom and TD Bank, N.A. amended certain terms of the credit agreement. IDT Telecom may use the proceeds to finance working capital requirements and for certain closing costs of the facility.

In the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, IDT Telecom borrowed and repaid an aggregate of $30.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively, under the facility. The revolving credit facility is secured by primarily all of IDT Telecom’s assets. The principal outstanding bears interest per annum at the secured overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus 10 basis points, plus depending upon IDT Telecom’s leverage ratio as computed for the most recent fiscal quarter, 125 to 175 basis points. Interest is payable monthly, and all outstanding principal and any accrued and unpaid interest is due on May 16, 2026. IDT Telecom pays a quarterly unused commitment fee on the average daily balance of the unused portion of the $25.0 million commitment of 30 to 85 basis points, depending upon IDT Telecom’s leverage ratio as computed for the most recent fiscal quarter. IDT Telecom is required to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants as well as maintain certain targets based on financial ratios during the term of the revolving credit facility.

The Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 8.0 million shares in the aggregate. In the six months ended January 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 135,261 shares of its Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3.2 million. In the six months ended January 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 203,436 shares of its Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million. At January 31, 2024, 4.6 million shares remained available for repurchase under the stock repurchase program.

 

In the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid $15,000 and $0.3 million, respectively, to repurchase 654 and 13,403 shares, respectively, of the Company’s Class B common stock that were tendered by employees of the Company to satisfy the employees’ tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of DSUs, the lapsing of restrictions on restricted stock, and shares issued for bonus payments. Such shares were repurchased by the Company based on their fair market value as of the close of business on the trading day immediately prior to the vesting date.

 

Deferred Stock Units Equity Incentive Program

 

On November 30, 2022, the Company adopted an equity incentive program (under its 2015 Plan) in the form of grants of DSUs that, upon vesting, will entitle the grantees to receive shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. The number of shares that will be issuable on each vesting date will vary between 50% to 200% of the number of DSUs that vest on that vesting date, depending on the market price for the underlying Class B common stock on the vesting date relative to the base price approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors of $25.45 per share (which was based on the market price at the time of the initial grants under this program). On February 21, 2024, the second vesting date under the program, in accordance with the program and based on certain elections made by grantees, the Company issued 53,706 shares of its Class B common stock for vested DSUs. Subject to continued full time employment or other services to the Company, the remaining 147,540 DSUs are scheduled to vest on February 25, 2025, the third and final vesting date under the program.

 

Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Abilio (“Bill”) Pereira

 

On December 21, 2023, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Bill Pereira, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer. The agreement provides for, among other things, certain equity grants, including 23,500 DSUs that, upon vesting, represent the right to receive shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, and 50,000 shares of Class B common stock of net2phone 2.0, as well as a contingent bonus subject to the completion of certain financial milestones as set forth in the agreement. The Company currently believes it is probable that some of the milestones will be satisfied, and some of the contingent bonus will be earned, for which the contingent bonus may be paid, at Mr. Pereira’s option, in either shares of the Company’s Class B common stock or cash. In the three and six months ended January 31, 2024, the Company recorded an aggregate stock-based compensation expense of $1.4 million related to these equity grants and the contingent bonus, which is included in “Selling, general and administrative expense” in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. At January 31, 2024, there was an aggregate of $0.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to Mr. Pereira’s non-vested DSUs, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period that ends in February 2025. Also at January 31, 2024, there was an aggregate of $2.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the probable portion of Mr. Pereira’s contingent bonus, which is expected to be recognized over the estimated period that the Company expects the milestones to be satisfied, which ends in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

 

Exchange of NRS Shares for the Company’s Shares

 

In January 2024, three management employees of NRS exchanged shares of NRS’ Class B common stock that they held for shares of the Company’s Class B common stock with an equal value. The NRS shares in the exchange represented an aggregate of 1.25% of NRS’ outstanding shares, which were exchanged for an aggregate of 192,433 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. The Company accounted for the exchange as an equity transaction and recorded a decrease in “Noncontrolling interests” and an increase in “Additional paid-in capital” of $0.1 million, based on the carrying amount of the 1.25% noncontrolling interest in NRS.

 

Restricted net2phone 2.0 Common Stock Repurchased from Employees

 

In January 2024, the restrictions lapsed on the 0.5 million restricted shares of net2phone 2.0 Class B common stock that were granted in December 2020 to each of Howard S. Jonas and Shmuel Jonas, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In addition, in January 2024, Bill Pereira was granted 50,000 shares of net2phone 2.0 Class B common stock in connection with the agreement described above. The Company withheld a portion of these shares representing an aggregate of 4.5% of the outstanding shares of net2phone 2.0 with an aggregate fair value of $3.6 million to satisfy the grantees’ tax withholding obligations in connection with the lapsing of restrictions on restricted stock or the grant of shares. The fair value per share of the net2phone 2.0 Class B common stock was based on a valuation of the business enterprise using a market approach and income approach. The Company recorded an increase in “Noncontrolling interests” of $53,000 and a decrease in “Additional paid-in capital” of $3.61 million, and an offsetting income tax withholding liability of $3.6 million.

 

Subsequent EventDividend Payments

 

In March 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors initiated a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share on the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock. The initial dividend will be paid on or about March 27, 2024 with a record date of March 19, 2024. The dividend will supplement the Company’s existing stock repurchase program.

 

Note 13—Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

 

On September 29, 2021, NRS sold shares of its Class B common stock representing 2.5% of its outstanding capital stock on a fully diluted basis to Alta Fox Opportunities Fund LP (“Alta Fox”) for cash of $10 million. Alta Fox has the right to request that NRS redeem all or any portion of the NRS common shares that it purchased at the per share purchase price during a period of 182 days following the fifth anniversary of this transaction. The redemption right shall terminate upon the consummation of (i) a sale of NRS or its assets for cash or securities that are listed on a national securities exchange, (ii) a public offering of NRS’ securities, or (iii) a distribution of NRS’ capital stock following which NRS’ common shares are listed on a national securities exchange.

 

The shares of NRS’ Class B common stock sold to Alta Fox have been classified as mezzanine equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets because they may be redeemed at the option of Alta Fox, although the shares are not mandatorily redeemable. The carrying amount of the shares includes the noncontrolling interest in the net income of NRS. The net income attributable to the mezzanine equity’s noncontrolling interest during the periods were as follows:

Note 14— Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to all classes of common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share, except that the number of shares is increased to include restricted stock still subject to risk of forfeiture and to assume exercise of potentially dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of such increase is anti-dilutive.

 

The weighted-average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders consists of the following:

 

   2024   2023   2024   2023 
  

Three Months Ended

January 31,

  

Six Months Ended

Diluted weighted-average number of shares   25,317    25,538    25,297    25,577 

 

There were no shares excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share in the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023.

Note 16—Commitments and Contingencies

 

COVID-19

 

In May 2023, the World Health Organization declared an end to COVID-19 as a public health emergency. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company continues to monitor the situation. The Company cannot predict with certainty the potential impact of COVID-19 if it re-invigorates on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

On July 5, 2017, plaintiff JDS1, LLC, on behalf of itself and all other similarly situated stockholders of Straight Path, and derivatively on behalf of Straight Path as nominal defendant, filed a putative class action and derivative complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company, The Patrick Henry Trust (a trust formed by Howard S. Jonas that held record and beneficial ownership of certain shares of Straight Path he formerly held), Howard S. Jonas, and each of Straight Path’s directors. The complaint alleged that the Company aided and abetted Straight Path Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer Davidi Jonas, and Howard S. Jonas in his capacity as controlling stockholder of Straight Path, in breaching their fiduciary duties to Straight Path in connection with the settlement of claims between Straight Path and the Company related to potential indemnification claims concerning Straight Path’s obligations under the Consent Decree it entered into with the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), as well as the sale of Straight Path’s subsidiary Straight Path IP Group, Inc. to the Company in connection with that settlement. That action was consolidated with a similar action that was initiated by The Arbitrage Fund. The Plaintiffs sought, among other things, (i) a declaration that the action may be maintained as a class action or in the alternative, that demand on the Straight Path Board is excused; (ii) that the term sheet is invalid; (iii) awarding damages for the unfair price stockholders received in the merger between Straight Path and Verizon Communications Inc. for their shares of Straight Path’s Class B common stock; and (iv) ordering Howard S. Jonas, Davidi Jonas, and the Company to disgorge any profits for the benefit of the class Plaintiffs. On August 28, 2017, the Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The trial was held in August and December 2022, and closing arguments were presented on May 3, 2023. On October 3, 2023, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware dismissed all claims against the Company, and found that, contrary to the plaintiffs’ allegations, the class suffered no damages. The plaintiffs will have 30 days from entry of the final order to file an appeal.

 

23
 

 

In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to other legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business and have not been finally adjudicated. Although there can be no assurance in this regard, the Company believes that none of the other legal proceedings to which the Company is a party will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

Sales Tax Contingency

 

On June 21, 2018, the United States Supreme Court rendered a decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., holding that a state may require a remote seller with no physical presence in the state to collect and remit sales tax on goods and services provided to purchasers in the state, overturning certain existing court precedent. It is possible that one or more jurisdictions may assert that the Company has liability for periods for which it has not collected sales, use or other similar taxes, and if such an assertion or assertions were successful it could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and operating results. One or more jurisdictions may change their laws or policies to apply their sales, use or other similar taxes to the Company’s operations, and if such changes were made it could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and operating results.

 

Regulatory Fees Audit

 

  The Company’s 2017 FCC Form 499-A, which reports its calendar year 2016 revenue, was audited by the Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”). The USAC’s final decision imposed a $2.9 million charge on the Company for the Federal Telecommunications Relay Service (“TRS”) Fund. The Company has appealed the USAC’s final decision to the FCC and does not intend to remit payment for the TRS Fund fees unless and until a negative decision on its appeal has been issued. The Company has made certain changes to its filing policies and procedures for years that remain potentially under audit. At January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, the Company’s accrued expenses included $23.4 million and $26.8 million, respectively, for FCC-related regulatory fees for the year covered by the audit, as well as prior and subsequent years.

   

Purchase Commitments

 

At January 31, 2024, the Company had purchase commitments of $17.6 million primarily for equipment and services.

 

Performance Bonds

 

The Company has performance bonds issued through third parties for the benefit of various states in order to comply with the states’ financial requirements for money remittance licenses and telecommunications resellers. At January 31, 2024, the Company had aggregate performance bonds of $29.0 million outstanding.

Note 18—Income Taxes

 

As of January 31, 2024, the Company’s best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for fiscal 2024 was 24.7% compared to 27.0% at July 31, 2023. The change in the estimated effective tax rate was mainly due to differences in the amount of taxable income earned in the various taxing jurisdictions.

 

Note 19—Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures as well as certain other amendments to income tax disclosures. Entities will be required on an annual basis to consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of rate reconciliation information and further disaggregate their income taxes paid. The Company will adopt the amendments in this ASU for its fiscal year beginning on August 1, 2025. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60), Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets, that changes the accounting for crypto assets from a cost-less-impairment model to fair value, with changes recognized in net income each reporting period. The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures including, among other things, the name, cost basis, fair value, and number of units for each significant holding, and a rollforward of annual activity including additions, dispositions, gains, and losses. The Company will adopt the amendments in this ASU for its fiscal year beginning on August 1, 2025. The ASU requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to improve the disclosures about reportable segments and add more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The amendments in the ASU require public entities to disclose on an annual and interim basis significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, other segment items by reportable segment, the title and position of the CODM, and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU does not change the definition of a segment, the method for determining segments, the criteria for aggregating operating segments into reportable segments, or the current specifically enumerated segment expenses that are required to be disclosed. The Company will adopt the amendments in this ASU for its fiscal year beginning on August 1, 2024 applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The Company is evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, that clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The ASU also requires specific disclosures related to equity securities that are subject to contractual sales restrictions. The Company will adopt the amendments in this ASU prospectively on August 1, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

 

We evaluate the performance of our business segments based primarily on income (loss) from operations. Accordingly, the income and expense line items below income (loss) from operations are only included in our discussion of the consolidated results of operations.

 

As of January 31, 2024, we owned 94.0% of the outstanding shares of our subsidiary, net2phone 2.0, Inc., or net2phone 2.0, which owns and operates the net2phone segment, and 81.2% of the outstanding shares of National Retail Solutions, or NRS, and, on a fully diluted basis assuming all the vesting criteria related to various rights granted have been met and other assumptions, we would own 90.8% of net2phone 2.0 and 78.9% of NRS.

 

From and after August 1, 2023, we include depreciation and amortization in “Direct cost of revenues” and “Selling, general and administrative” expense. Prior to August 1, 2023, depreciation and amortization was a separate caption in the consolidated statements of income. In addition, from and after August 1, 2023, we are reporting gross profit and gross margin percentage in our “Results of Operations” in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. Depreciation and amortization expense of $5.0 million in the three months ended January 31, 2023 was reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation as follows: $1.1 million was reclassified to “Direct cost of revenues” and $3.9 million was reclassified to “Selling, general and administrative” expense, and depreciation and amortization expense of $9.8 million in the six months ended January 31, 2023 was reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation as follows: $2.1 million was reclassified to “Direct cost of revenues” and $7.7 million was reclassified to “Selling, general and administrative” expense. Depreciation and amortization expense included in our business segments was as follows:

COVID-19

 

In May 2023, the World Health Organization declared an end to COVID-19 as a public health emergency. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we continue to monitor the situation. We cannot predict with certainty the potential impact of COVID-19 if it re-invigorates on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

 

Explanation of Performance Metrics

 

Our results of operations discussion include the following performance metrics:

 

for NRS, active point-of-sale, or POS, terminals, payment processing accounts, and recurring revenue,
for net2phone, seats and subscription revenue, and
 for Traditional Communications, minutes of use.

 

NRS uses two key metrics to measure the size of its customer base: active POS terminals and payment processing accounts. Active POS terminals are the number of POS terminals that have completed at least one transaction in the calendar month. It excludes POS terminals that have not been fully installed by the end of the month. Payment processing accounts are NRS PAY accounts that can generate revenue. It excludes accounts that have been approved but not activated. NRS’ recurring revenue is NRS’ revenue in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding its revenue from POS terminal sales.

 

27
 

 

net2phone’s cloud communications offerings are priced on a per-seat basis, with customers paying based on the number of users in their organization. net2phone’s subscription revenue is its revenue in accordance with U.S. GAAP excluding its equipment revenue and revenue generated by a legacy SIP trunking offering in Brazil.

 

The trends and comparisons between periods for the number of active POS terminals, NRS PAY accounts, seats served, recurring revenue, and subscription revenue are used in the analysis of NRS’ or net2phone’s revenues and direct cost of revenues and are strong indications of the top-line growth and performance of the business.

 

Minutes of use is a nonfinancial metric that measures aggregate customer usage during a reporting period. Minutes of use is an important factor in BOSS Revolution Calling’s and IDT Global’s revenue recognition since satisfaction of our performance obligation occurs when the customer uses our service. Minutes of use trends and comparisons between periods are used in the analysis of revenues and direct cost of revenues.

Revenues. Revenues from BOSS Money increased in the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2023 primarily because of increased transaction volume in BOSS Money’s retail and digital channels. BOSS Money continues to benefit from cross-marketing to BOSS Revolution Calling customers, the expansion of its retail agent network, and ongoing efforts to enhance user-experience within the BOSS Money and BOSS Calling apps.

 

Direct Cost of Revenues. Direct cost of revenues increased in the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2023 primarily due to an increase BOSS Money’s direct cost of revenues, which reflected the increase in BOSS Money’s revenue.

 

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased in the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2023 primarily due to increases in debit and credit card processing charges, employee compensation, and bank fees. The increase in card processing charges was the result of increased credit and debit card transactions through our BOSS Money app and other digital channels. As a percentage of Fintech’s revenue, Fintech’s selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 60.1% from 66.1% in the three months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and decreased to 60.6% from 62.4% in the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Other Operating Gain. In the three and six months ended January 31, 2023, Leaf received payments of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, from government grants for the development and commercialization of blockchain-backed financial technologies. In addition, in the six months ended January 31, 2023, we determined that the requirements for a portion of the contingent consideration payments related to the Leaf acquisition would not be met. We recognized a gain of $1.6 million on the write-off of this contingent consideration payment obligation.

Revenues. net2phone’s revenues increased in the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2023 driven primarily by the growth in subscription revenue in the U.S. and Latin American markets, which reflected the increase in seats served at January 31, 2024 compared to January 31, 2023.

 

Direct Cost of Revenues. Direct cost of revenues increased in the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2023 primarily due to the increase in revenues, with the largest increase in the U.S. markets. net2phone’s focus on mid-sized businesses, multi-channel strategies, and localized offerings generated revenue growth that exceeded the increase in direct cost of revenues.

 

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased in the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2023 primarily due to increases in employee compensation, sales commissions, and consulting expense. As a percentage of net2phone’s revenues, net2phone’s selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 79.2% from 83.2% in the three months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and decreased to 80.1% from 84.8% in the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

net2phone derives a significant portion of its revenues from existing customers. Attracting new customers usually involves additional costs compared to retention of existing customers. If existing customers’ subscriptions and related usage decrease or are terminated, net2phone will need to spend more money to acquire new customers and still may not be able to maintain its existing level of revenues or profitability. In addition, net2phone needs to acquire new customers to increase its revenues. net2phone incurs significant sales and marketing expenses to acquire new customers. It is therefore expected that selling, general and administrative expense will remain a significant percentage of net2phone’s revenues for the foreseeable future.

 

Other Operating Gain. In the three and six months ended January 31, 2024, we determined that the requirement for a contingent consideration payment related to an acquisition in a prior period would not be met. We recognized a gain of $0.1 million on the write-off of this contingent consideration payment obligation.

 

Traditional Communications Segment

 

The Traditional Communications segment, which represented 75.2% and 81.5% of our total revenues in the three months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 75.9% and 82.0% of our total revenues in the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, includes: (i) IDT Digital Payments, which enables customers to transfer airtime and bundles of airtime, messaging, and data to international and domestic mobile accounts; (ii) BOSS Revolution Calling, an international long-distance calling service marketed primarily to immigrant communities in the United States and Canada; and (iii) IDT Global, a wholesale provider of  international voice and SMS termination and outsourced traffic management solutions to telecoms worldwide. Traditional Communications also includes other small businesses and offerings including early-stage business initiatives and mature businesses in harvest mode.

 

Traditional Communications’ most significant revenue streams are from IDT Digital Payments, BOSS Revolution Calling, and IDT Global. IDT Digital Payments and BOSS Revolution Calling are sold directly to consumers and through distributors and retailers. We receive payments for BOSS Revolution Calling, traditional calling cards, and IDT Digital Payments prior to providing the services. We recognize the revenue when services are provided to the customer. Traditional Communications’ revenues tend to be somewhat seasonal, with the second fiscal quarter (which contains Christmas and New Year’s Day) and the fourth fiscal quarter (which contains Mother’s Day and Father’s Day) typically showing higher minute volumes.

Revenues. Revenues from IDT Digital Payments decreased in the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2023 primarily from the deterioration of a key international corridor that was particularly impactful to revenues in the wholesale channel.

 

Revenues and minutes of use from BOSS Revolution Calling decreased in the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2023. BOSS Revolution Calling continues to be impacted by persistent, market-wide trends, including the proliferation of unlimited calling plans offered by wireless carriers and mobile virtual network operators, and the increasing penetration of free and paid over-the-top voice, video conferencing, and messaging services.

 

Revenues and minutes of use from IDT Global decreased in the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2023 as communications globally continued to transition away from international voice calling. This trend was accelerated by the impact of COVID-19 as business communications shifted from calling to video conferencing and other collaboration platforms. We expect that IDT Global will continue to be adversely impacted by these trends, and minutes of use and revenues will likely continue to decline from quarter-to-quarter, as we seek to maximize economics rather than necessarily sustain minutes of use or revenues.

 

Direct Cost of Revenues. Direct cost of revenues decreased in the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2023 primarily due to the decreases in minutes of use and revenues.

 

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased in the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2023 primarily due to decreases in employee compensation, sales commissions, marketing expense, and debit and credit card processing charges, partially offset by increases in stock-based compensation. As a percentage of Traditional Communications’ revenue, Traditional Communications’ selling, general and administrative expense increased to 12.3% from 11.5% in the three months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and increased to 11.9% from 11.3% in the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Severance Expense. In the three months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, Traditional Communications incurred severance expense of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and in the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, Traditional Communications incurred severance expense of $0.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Corporate costs mainly include compensation, consulting fees, treasury, tax and accounting services, human resources, corporate purchasing, corporate governance including Board of Directors’ fees, internal and external audit, investor relations, corporate insurance, corporate legal, and other corporate-related general and administrative expenses. Corporate does not generate any revenues, nor does it incur any direct cost of revenues.

 

General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expense increased in the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2023 primarily because of increases in audit and accounting fees and employee compensation. As a percentage of our consolidated revenues, Corporate general and administrative expense was 1.1% and 0.8% in the three months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 1.0% and 0.7% in the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Other Operating (Expense) Gain, net. As discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report, we (as well as other defendants) were named in a class action on behalf of the stockholders of our former subsidiary, Straight Path Communications Inc., or Straight Path. We incurred legal fees of $2.6 million and $1.6 million in the three months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $2.8 million and $4.1 million in the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to this action. Also, we recorded offsetting gains from insurance claims for this matter of $2.2 million and $1.3 million in the three months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $2.9 million and $3.0 million in the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. On October 3, 2023, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware dismissed all claims against us, and found that, contrary to the plaintiffs’ allegations, the class suffered no damages. The plaintiffs will have 30 days from entry of the final order to file an appeal.

 

Consolidated

 

The following is a discussion of our consolidated stock-based compensation expense, and our consolidated income and expense line items below income from operations.

 

Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Stock-based compensation expense included in consolidated selling, general and administrative expense was $2.5 million and $1.3 million in the three months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $3.3 million and $1.9 million in the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increases in stock-based compensation expense were primarily due to certain equity grants to Bill Pereira, our President and Chief Operating Officer, in the three months ended January 31, 2024, including deferred stock units, or DSUs, that, upon vesting, represent the right to receive shares of our Class B common stock, and shares of Class B common stock of net2phone 2.0, as well as a contingent bonus subject to the completion of certain financial milestones that may be paid, at Mr. Pereira’s option, in either shares of the Company’s Class B common stock or cash.

 

At January 31, 2024, there was an aggregate of $2.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to Mr. Pereira’s contingent bonus, which is expected to be recognized over the estimated period that we expect the milestones to be satisfied, which ends in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

 

At January 31, 2024, there was $1.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested DSUs under our equity incentive program adopted on November 30, 2022, which is being recognized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service periods that end in February 2025. On February 21, 2024, the second vesting date under the program, in accordance with the program and based on certain elections made by grantees, we issued 53,706 shares of our Class B common stock for vested DSUs. Subject to continued full time employment or other services to us, the remaining 147,540 DSUs are scheduled to vest on February 25, 2025.

 

Effective as of June 30, 2022, restricted shares of NRS’ Class B common stock were granted to certain NRS employees. The restrictions on the shares will lapse in three installments on each of June 1, 2024, 2026, and 2027. The estimated fair value of the restricted shares on the grant date was $3.3 million, which is being recognized over the vesting period. At January 31, 2024, unrecognized compensation cost related to NRS’ non-vested Class B common stock was an aggregate of $2.3 million. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period that ends in fiscal 2027.

As of January 31, 2024 and 2023, our ownership was 33.4% and 26.57%, respectively, of the EMI’s outstanding shares on an as converted basis. We account for this investment using the equity method since we can exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the EMI but do not have a controlling interest. We determined that on the dates of the acquisitions of the EMI’s shares, there were differences between our investment in the EMI and our proportional interest in the equity of the EMI of an aggregate of $8.2 million, which represented the share of the EMI’s customer list on the dates of the acquisitions attributed to our interest in the EMI. These basis differences are being amortized over the 6-year estimated life of the customer list. “Equity in the net loss of investee” includes the amortization of equity method basis difference.

 

Provision for Income Taxes. The change in income tax expense in the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2023 was primarily due to differences in the amount of taxable income earned in the various taxing jurisdictions.

 

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. The change in the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the three months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2023 was primarily due to changes in amounts attributable to the noncontrolling interests in NRS, net2phone 2.0, and Sochitel UK Ltd. The change in the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the six months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2023 was primarily due to changes in amounts attributable to the noncontrolling interests in net2phone 2.0 and the VIE, partially offset by the change in the amounts attributable to the noncontrolling interests in NRS.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we expect our cash flow from operations and the balance of cash, cash equivalents, debt securities, and current equity investments that we held on January 31, 2024 will be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements during the twelve-month period ending January 31, 2025.

 

At January 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents, debt securities, and current equity investments of $177.6 million and working capital (current assets in excess of current liabilities) of $122.5 million.

 

We treat unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held by IDT Payment Services, Inc. and IDT Payment Services of New York, LLC as substantially restricted and unavailable for other purposes. At January 31, 2024, “Cash and cash equivalents” in our consolidated balance sheet included an aggregate of $39.8 million held by IDT Payment Services, Inc. and IDT Payment Services of New York, LLC that was unavailable for other purposes.

 

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

 

The following table includes our anticipated material cash requirements from contractual obligations and other commitments at January 31, 2024:

Operating Activities

 

Our cash flow from operations varies significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year, depending on our operating results and the timing of operating cash receipts and payments, specifically trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable.

 

Gross trade accounts receivable increased to $43.7 million at January 31, 2024 from $37.7 million at July 31, 2023 primarily due to amounts billed in the six months ended January 31, 2024 that were greater than collections during the period, partially offset by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

 

Deferred revenue arises from sales of prepaid products and varies from period to period depending on the mix and the timing of revenues. Deferred revenue decreased to $33.8 million at January 31, 2024 from $35.3 million at July 31, 2023 primarily due to decreases in the BOSS Revolution Calling and IDT Digital Payments deferred revenue balances.

 

Customer deposit liabilities at IDT Financial Services increased to $87.6 million at January 31, 2024 from $86.5 million at July 31, 2023. Our restricted cash and cash equivalents included $88.2 million and $87.3 million at January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, respectively, held by the bank.

 

In September 2017, we and certain of our subsidiaries were certified by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, or NJEDA, as having met the requirements of the Grow New Jersey Assistance Act Tax Credit Program. The program provides for credits against a corporation’s New Jersey corporate business tax liability for maintaining a minimum number of employees in New Jersey, and that tax credits may be sold subject to certain conditions. On June 5, 2023, we received a 2019 tax credit certificate for $1.8 million from the NJEDA. In August 2023, we sold the certificate for cash of $1.6 million.

 

On June 21, 2018, the United States Supreme Court rendered a decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., holding that a state may require a remote seller with no physical presence in the state to collect and remit sales tax on goods and services provided to purchasers in the state, overturning certain existing court precedent. It is possible that one or more jurisdictions may assert that we have liability for periods for which we have not collected sales, use or other similar taxes, and if such an assertion or assertions were successful it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position, and operating results. One or more jurisdictions may change their laws or policies to apply their sales, use or other similar taxes to our operations, and if such changes were made it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position, and operating results.

 

As discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report, we (as well as other defendants) were named in a class action on behalf of the stockholders of our former subsidiary, Straight Path. On October 3, 2023, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware dismissed all claims against us, and found that, contrary to the plaintiffs’ allegations, the class suffered no damages. The plaintiffs will have 30 days from entry of the final order to file an appeal.

 

Investing Activities

 

Our capital expenditures were $8.9 million and $10.6 million in the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We currently anticipate that total capital expenditures in the twelve-month period ending January 31, 2025 will be $21 million to $23 million. We expect to fund our capital expenditures with our net cash provided by operating activities and cash, cash equivalents, debt securities, and current equity investments on hand.

 

As of July 27, 2023, the EMI’s shareholders including us agreed to purchase additional shares of the EMI’s convertible preferred stock. We subscribed to purchase additional shares for an aggregate of $1.0 million. In the six months ended January 31, 2024, we paid $1.0 million to purchase the EMI’s shares. In February 2024, each of the EMI’s shareholders agreed to purchase additional shares of the EMI’s convertible preferred stock. We paid $0.3 million in February 2024 and we are committed to pay $0.2 million in March 2024 to purchase the additional shares.

 

34
 

 

In January 2024, we acquired certain software and intellectual property for an online ordering platform for $0.1 million.

 

Purchases of debt securities and equity investments were $19.4 million and $28.1 million in the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Proceeds from maturities and sales of debt securities and redemptions of equity investments were $31.2 million and $27.5 million in the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Financing Activities

 

We distributed cash of $0.1 million and $0.2 million in the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, to the noncontrolling interests in certain of our subsidiaries.

 

In the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, we received proceeds from financing-related other liabilities of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

 

In the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, we repaid financing-related other liabilities of $15,000 and $2.0 million, respectively.

 

Our subsidiary, IDT Telecom, Inc., or IDT Telecom, entered into a credit agreement, dated as of May 17, 2021, with TD Bank, N.A. for a revolving credit facility for up to a maximum principal amount of $25.0 million. As of July 28, 2023, IDT Telecom and TD Bank, N.A. amended certain terms of the credit agreement. IDT Telecom may use the proceeds to finance working capital requirements and for certain closing costs of the facility. At January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding under this facility. In the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, IDT Telecom borrowed and repaid an aggregate of $30.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively, under the facility. The revolving credit facility is secured by primarily all of IDT Telecom’s assets. The principal outstanding bears interest per annum at the secured overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus 10 basis points, plus depending upon IDT Telecom’s leverage ratio as computed for the most recent fiscal quarter, 125 to 175 basis points. Interest is payable monthly, and all outstanding principal and any accrued and unpaid interest is due on May 16, 2026. IDT Telecom pays a quarterly unused commitment fee on the average daily balance of the unused portion of the $25.0 million commitment of 30 to 85 basis points, depending upon IDT Telecom’s leverage ratio as computed for the most recent fiscal quarter. IDT Telecom is required to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants as well as maintain certain targets based on financial ratios during the term of the revolving credit facility. As of January 31, 2024, IDT Telecom was in compliance with all of the covenants.

 

In both the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, we received cash from the exercise of stock options of $0.2 million for which we issued 12,500 shares of our Class B common stock.

 

We have an existing stock repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors for the repurchase of shares of our Class B common stock. The Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 8.0 million shares in the aggregate. In the six months ended January 31, 2024, we repurchased 135,261 shares of Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3.2 million. In the six months ended January 31, 2023, we repurchased 203,436 shares of Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million. At January 31, 2024, 4.6 million shares remained available for repurchase under the stock repurchase program.

 

In the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, we paid $15,000 and $0.3 million, respectively, to repurchase 654 and 13,403 shares, respectively, of our Class B common stock that were tendered by employees of ours to satisfy the employees’ tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of DSUs, the lapsing of restrictions on restricted stock, and shares issued for bonus payments. Such shares were repurchased by us based on their fair market value as of the close of business on the trading day immediately prior to the vesting date.

 

In January 2024, the restrictions lapsed on the 0.5 million restricted shares of net2phone 2.0 Class B common stock that were granted in December 2020 to each of Howard S. Jonas and Shmuel Jonas, our Chief Executive Officer. In addition, in January 2024, Bill Pereira was granted 50,000 shares of net2phone 2.0 Class B common stock. We withheld a portion of these shares representing an aggregate of 4.5% of the outstanding shares of net2phone 2.0 with an aggregate fair value of $3.6 million to satisfy the grantees’ tax withholding obligations in connection with the lapsing of restrictions on restricted stock or the grant of shares.

 

In January 2024, we exchanged an aggregate of 192,433 shares of our Class B common stock with a value of $6.3 million for shares of NRS’ Class B common stock that were held by management employees of NRS representing an aggregate of 1.25% of NRS’ outstanding shares.

 

In March 2024, our Board of Directors initiated a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share on our Class A and Class B common stock. The initial dividend will be paid on or about March 27, 2024 with a record date of March 19, 2024. The dividend will supplement our existing stock repurchase program.

 

Other Sources and Uses of Resources

 

We are considering spin-offs and other potential dispositions of certain of our subsidiaries. Some of the transactions under consideration are in early stages and others are more advanced. A spin-off may include the contribution of a significant amount of cash, cash equivalents, debt securities, and/or equity securities to the subsidiary prior to the spin-off, which would reduce our capital resources. There is no assurance that any of these transactions will be completed.

 

We intend to, where appropriate, make strategic investments and acquisitions to complement, expand, and/or enter into new businesses. In considering acquisitions and investments, we search for opportunities to profitably grow our existing businesses and/or to add qualitatively to the range and diversification of businesses in our portfolio. We cannot guarantee that we will be presented with acquisition opportunities that meet our return-on-investment criteria, or that our efforts to make acquisitions that meet our criteria will be successful.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

Revenues from our international operations were 23% and 28% of our consolidated revenues in the three months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 25% and 28% of our consolidated revenues in the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. A significant portion of our revenues is in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Our foreign currency exchange risk is somewhat mitigated by our ability to offset a portion of these non-U.S. Dollar-denominated revenues with operating expenses that are paid in the same currencies. While the impact from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates affects our revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, the net amount of our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate changes at the end of each reporting period is generally not material.

 

Investment Risk

 

We hold a portion of our assets in debt and equity securities, including hedge funds, for strategic and speculative purposes. At January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, the value of our debt and equity security holdings was an aggregate of $44.1 million and $58.5 million, respectively, which represented 8% and 11% of our total assets at January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, respectively. Investments in debt and equity securities carry a degree of risk and depend to a great extent on correct assessments of the future course of price movements of securities and other instruments. There can be no assurance that our investment managers will be able to accurately predict these price movements. The securities markets have in recent years been characterized by great volatility and unpredictability. Accordingly, the value of our investments may go down as well as up and we may not receive the amounts originally invested upon redemption.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of January 31, 2024.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of IDT Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “IDT”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2024. The balance sheet at July 31, 2023 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

The Company’s fiscal year ends on July 31 of each calendar year. Each reference below to a fiscal year refers to the fiscal year ending in the calendar year indicated (e.g., fiscal 2024 refers to the fiscal year ending July 31, 2024).

 

As of January 31, 2024, the Company owned 94.0% of the outstanding shares of its subsidiary, net2phone 2.0, Inc. (“net2phone 2.0”), which owns and operates the net2phone segment, and 81.2% of the outstanding shares of National Retail Solutions (“NRS”), and, on a fully diluted basis, assuming all the vesting criteria related to various rights granted have been met and other assumptions, the Company would own 90.8% of net2phone 2.0 and 78.9% of NRS.

 

Reclassifications

 

From and after August 1, 2023, the Company includes depreciation and amortization in “Direct cost of revenues” and “Selling, general and administrative” expense and is reporting gross profit (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) in the consolidated statements of income. Prior to August 1, 2023, depreciation and amortization was a separate caption in the consolidated statements of income. Depreciation and amortization expense of $5.0 million in the three months ended January 31, 2023 was reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation as follows: $1.1 million was reclassified to “Direct cost of revenues” and $3.9 million was reclassified to “Selling, general and administrative” expense, and depreciation and amortization expense of $9.8 million in the six months ended January 31, 2023 was reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation as follows: $2.1 million was reclassified to “Direct cost of revenues” and $7.7 million was reclassified to “Selling, general and administrative” expense.

 

In the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash provided by “Trade accounts receivable” in the six months ended January 31, 2023 of $13.8 million was reclassified to “Settlement assets, disbursement prefunding, prepaid expenses, other current assets, and other assets” to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

 

On August 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, that changed the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For receivables, entities are required to use a new forward-looking current expected credit loss model to determine its allowance for credit losses, which replaced the allowance for doubtful accounts. When determining the allowance for credit losses for its trade accounts receivable, the Company considers the probability of recoverability of accounts receivable based on past experience, taking into account current collection trends and general economic factors, including bankruptcy rates. The Company also considers future economic trends to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of the asset. Credit risks will be assessed based on historical write-offs, net of recoveries, as well as an analysis of the aged accounts receivable balances with allowances generally increasing as the receivable ages. Accounts receivable may be fully reserved for when specific collection issues are known to exist, such as pending bankruptcies. Account balances are written off against the allowance when it is determined that the receivable will not be recovered. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, the concept of “other-than-temporary” impairment was replaced by a determination whether any impairment is a result of a credit loss or other factors. The portion of the unrealized loss that is the result of a credit loss is recognized as an allowance and a corresponding expense recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income. Unrealized loss that is not the result of a credit loss is recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the consolidated balance sheets. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and it was not necessary to record a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of August 1, 2023.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Business Segment Information

Note 2—Business Segment Information

 

The Company has four reportable business segments, NRS, Fintech, net2phone, and Traditional Communications. Any items not included within, or allocated to, one of the segments is presented under “Corporate.”

 

The NRS segment is an operator of a nationwide point-of-sale (“POS”) network providing independent retailers with store management software, electronic payment processing, and other ancillary merchant services. NRS’ POS platform provides marketers with digital out-of-home advertising and transaction data.

 

The Fintech segment is comprised of: (i) BOSS Money, a provider of international money remittance and related value/payment transfer services; and (ii) other, significantly smaller, financial services businesses, including Leaf Global Fintech Corporation (“Leaf”), a provider of digital wallet services in emerging markets, a variable interest entity that operates money transfer businesses, and IDT Financial Services Limited (“IDT Financial Services”), the Company’s Gibraltar-based bank.

 

The net2phone segment is comprised of net2phone’s cloud communications and contact center offerings.

 

The Traditional Communications segment includes: (i) IDT Digital Payments, which enables customers to transfer airtime and bundles of airtime, messaging, and data to international and domestic mobile accounts; (ii) BOSS Revolution Calling, an international long-distance calling service marketed primarily to immigrant communities in the United States and Canada; and (iii) IDT Global, a wholesale provider of international voice and SMS termination and outsourced traffic management solutions to telecoms worldwide. Traditional Communications also includes other small businesses and offerings including early-stage business initiatives and mature businesses in harvest mode.

 

The Company’s reportable segments are distinguished by types of service, customers, and methods used to provide their services. The operating results of these business segments are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as the accounting policies of the Company as a whole. There are no significant asymmetrical allocations to segments. The Company evaluates the performance of its business segments based primarily on income (loss) from operations.

 

Corporate costs mainly include compensation, consulting fees, treasury, tax and accounting services, human resources, corporate purchasing, corporate governance including Board of Directors’ fees, internal and external audit, investor relations, corporate insurance, corporate legal, and other corporate-related general and administrative expenses. Corporate does not generate any revenues, nor does it incur any direct cost of revenues.

Accounts Receivable and Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the time of billing to the Company’s customers. Trade accounts receivable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets represent unconditional rights to consideration. The Company would record a contract asset when revenue is recognized in advance of its right to bill and receive consideration. The Company has not currently identified any contract assets.

 

Contract liabilities arise when the Company receives consideration or bills its customers prior to providing the goods or services promised in the contract. The Company’s contract liability balance is primarily payments received for prepaid BOSS Revolution Calling. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when services are provided to the customer. The contract liability balances are presented in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as “Deferred revenue”.

Deferred Customer Contract Acquisition and Fulfillment Costs

 

The Company recognizes as an asset its incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer that it expects to recover. The Company’s incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer are sales commissions paid to employees and third parties on sales to end users. If the amortization period were one year or less for the asset that would be recognized from deferring these costs, the Company applies the practical expedient whereby the Company charges these costs to expense when incurred. For net2phone sales, the Company defers these costs and amortizes them over the expected customer relationship period when it is expected to exceed one year.

 

The Company’s costs to fulfill its contracts do not meet the criteria to be recognized as an asset, therefore these costs are charged to expense as incurred.

The gross unrealized losses in the table above are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the consolidated balance sheets. As of January 31, 2024, the Company determined that the unrealized losses were due to changes in interest rates or market liquidity and were not due to credit losses. In addition, as of January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, the Company did not intend to sell any of the securities with unrealized losses, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell any of these securities before recovery of the unrealized losses, which may be at maturity.

 

Proceeds from maturities and sales of debt securities and redemptions of equity investments were $14.2 million and $16.1 million in the three months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $31.2 million and $27.5 million in the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Equity Method Investment

 

The Company has an investment in shares of convertible preferred stock of a communications company (the equity method investee, or “EMI”). As of January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, the Company’s ownership was 33.4% and 33.3%, respectively, of the EMI’s outstanding shares on an as converted basis. The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method since the Company can exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the EMI but does not have a controlling interest.

 

The Company determined that on the dates of the acquisitions of the EMI’s shares, there were differences between its investment in the EMI and its proportional interest in the equity of the EMI of an aggregate of $8.2 million, which represented the share of the EMI’s customer list on the dates of the acquisitions attributed to the Company’s interest in the EMI. These basis differences are being amortized over the 6-year estimated life of the customer list. In the accompanying consolidated statements of income, amortization of equity method basis difference is included in the equity in the net loss of investee, which is recorded in “Other income (expense), net” (see Note 17).

 

In February 2024, each of the EMI’s shareholders (including the Company) agreed to purchase additional shares of the EMI’s convertible preferred stock. The Company paid $0.3 million in February 2024 and is committed to pay $0.2 million in March 2024 to purchase the additional shares.

In the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid an aggregate of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for contingent consideration related to prior acquisitions. In addition, in January 2024, the Company determined that the requirement for a contingent consideration payment related to an acquisition in a prior period would not be met, and, in September 2022, the Company determined that the requirements for a portion of the contingent consideration payments related to the Leaf acquisition would not be met. The Company recognized gains on the write-off of these contingent consideration payment obligations, which were included in “Other operating (expense) gain, net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

 

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

 

The estimated fair value of the Company’s other financial instruments was determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting these data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.

 

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, settlement assets, other current assets, customer deposits, settlement liabilities, and other current liabilities. At January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, the carrying amount of these assets and liabilities approximated fair value because of the short period of time to maturity. The fair value estimates for cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents were classified as Level 1 and settlement assets, other current assets, customer deposits, settlement liabilities, and other current liabilities were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

 

Other assets and other liabilities. At January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, the carrying amount of these assets and liabilities approximated fair value. The fair values were estimated based on the Company’s assumptions, which were classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Variable Interest Entity

Note 9—Variable Interest Entity

 

The Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that operates money transfer businesses. The Company determined that, effective May 31, 2021, it had the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance, and the Company has the obligation to absorb losses of and the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to it. As a result, the Company consolidates the VIE. The Company does not currently own any interest in the VIE and thus the net income incurred by the VIE was attributed to noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

2024 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On December 13, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of the Company’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”), which is intended to provide incentives to officers, employees, directors, and consultants of the Company, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock units (“DSUs”), and restricted stock, from and after September 16, 2024. There are 250,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock reserved for the grant of awards under the 2024 Plan.

 

2015 Stock Option and Incentive Plan

 

On December 13, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s 2015 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) to increase the number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock available for the grant of awards thereunder by an additional 250,000 shares. The 2015 Plan is scheduled to expire on September 16, 2024.

 

In both the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company received cash from the exercise of stock options of $0.2 million for which the Company issued 12,500 shares of its Class B common stock.

 

Stock Repurchases

 

The Company has an existing stock repurchase program authorized by its Board of Directors for the repurchase of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. The Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 8.0 million shares in the aggregate. In the six months ended January 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 135,261 shares of its Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3.2 million. In the six months ended January 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 203,436 shares of its Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million. At January 31, 2024, 4.6 million shares remained available for repurchase under the stock repurchase program.

 

In the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid $15,000 and $0.3 million, respectively, to repurchase 654 and 13,403 shares, respectively, of the Company’s Class B common stock that were tendered by employees of the Company to satisfy the employees’ tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of DSUs, the lapsing of restrictions on restricted stock, and shares issued for bonus payments. Such shares were repurchased by the Company based on their fair market value as of the close of business on the trading day immediately prior to the vesting date.

 

Deferred Stock Units Equity Incentive Program

 

On November 30, 2022, the Company adopted an equity incentive program (under its 2015 Plan) in the form of grants of DSUs that, upon vesting, will entitle the grantees to receive shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. The number of shares that will be issuable on each vesting date will vary between 50% to 200% of the number of DSUs that vest on that vesting date, depending on the market price for the underlying Class B common stock on the vesting date relative to the base price approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors of $25.45 per share (which was based on the market price at the time of the initial grants under this program). On February 21, 2024, the second vesting date under the program, in accordance with the program and based on certain elections made by grantees, the Company issued 53,706 shares of its Class B common stock for vested DSUs. Subject to continued full time employment or other services to the Company, the remaining 147,540 DSUs are scheduled to vest on February 25, 2025, the third and final vesting date under the program.

 

Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Abilio (“Bill”) Pereira

 

On December 21, 2023, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Bill Pereira, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer. The agreement provides for, among other things, certain equity grants, including 23,500 DSUs that, upon vesting, represent the right to receive shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, and 50,000 shares of Class B common stock of net2phone 2.0, as well as a contingent bonus subject to the completion of certain financial milestones as set forth in the agreement. The Company currently believes it is probable that some of the milestones will be satisfied, and some of the contingent bonus will be earned, for which the contingent bonus may be paid, at Mr. Pereira’s option, in either shares of the Company’s Class B common stock or cash. In the three and six months ended January 31, 2024, the Company recorded an aggregate stock-based compensation expense of $1.4 million related to these equity grants and the contingent bonus, which is included in “Selling, general and administrative expense” in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. At January 31, 2024, there was an aggregate of $0.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to Mr. Pereira’s non-vested DSUs, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period that ends in February 2025. Also at January 31, 2024, there was an aggregate of $2.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the probable portion of Mr. Pereira’s contingent bonus, which is expected to be recognized over the estimated period that the Company expects the milestones to be satisfied, which ends in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

 

Exchange of NRS Shares for the Company’s Shares

 

In January 2024, three management employees of NRS exchanged shares of NRS’ Class B common stock that they held for shares of the Company’s Class B common stock with an equal value. The NRS shares in the exchange represented an aggregate of 1.25% of NRS’ outstanding shares, which were exchanged for an aggregate of 192,433 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. The Company accounted for the exchange as an equity transaction and recorded a decrease in “Noncontrolling interests” and an increase in “Additional paid-in capital” of $0.1 million, based on the carrying amount of the 1.25% noncontrolling interest in NRS.

 

Restricted net2phone 2.0 Common Stock Repurchased from Employees

 

In January 2024, the restrictions lapsed on the 0.5 million restricted shares of net2phone 2.0 Class B common stock that were granted in December 2020 to each of Howard S. Jonas and Shmuel Jonas, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In addition, in January 2024, Bill Pereira was granted 50,000 shares of net2phone 2.0 Class B common stock in connection with the agreement described above. The Company withheld a portion of these shares representing an aggregate of 4.5% of the outstanding shares of net2phone 2.0 with an aggregate fair value of $3.6 million to satisfy the grantees’ tax withholding obligations in connection with the lapsing of restrictions on restricted stock or the grant of shares. The fair value per share of the net2phone 2.0 Class B common stock was based on a valuation of the business enterprise using a market approach and income approach. The Company recorded an increase in “Noncontrolling interests” of $53,000 and a decrease in “Additional paid-in capital” of $3.61 million, and an offsetting income tax withholding liability of $3.6 million.

 

Subsequent EventDividend Payments

 

In March 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors initiated a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share on the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock. The initial dividend will be paid on or about March 27, 2024 with a record date of March 19, 2024. The dividend will supplement the Company’s existing stock repurchase program.

On September 29, 2021, NRS sold shares of its Class B common stock representing 2.5% of its outstanding capital stock on a fully diluted basis to Alta Fox Opportunities Fund LP (“Alta Fox”) for cash of $10 million. Alta Fox has the right to request that NRS redeem all or any portion of the NRS common shares that it purchased at the per share purchase price during a period of 182 days following the fifth anniversary of this transaction. The redemption right shall terminate upon the consummation of (i) a sale of NRS or its assets for cash or securities that are listed on a national securities exchange, (ii) a public offering of NRS’ securities, or (iii) a distribution of NRS’ capital stock following which NRS’ common shares are listed on a national securities exchange.

 

The shares of NRS’ Class B common stock sold to Alta Fox have been classified as mezzanine equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets because they may be redeemed at the option of Alta Fox, although the shares are not mandatorily redeemable. The carrying amount of the shares includes the noncontrolling interest in the net income of NRS.

Note 14— Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to all classes of common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share, except that the number of shares is increased to include restricted stock still subject to risk of forfeiture and to assume exercise of potentially dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of such increase is anti-dilutive.

 

The weighted-average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders consists of the following:

In May 2023, the World Health Organization declared an end to COVID-19 as a public health emergency. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company continues to monitor the situation. The Company cannot predict with certainty the potential impact of COVID-19 if it re-invigorates on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

On July 5, 2017, plaintiff JDS1, LLC, on behalf of itself and all other similarly situated stockholders of Straight Path, and derivatively on behalf of Straight Path as nominal defendant, filed a putative class action and derivative complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company, The Patrick Henry Trust (a trust formed by Howard S. Jonas that held record and beneficial ownership of certain shares of Straight Path he formerly held), Howard S. Jonas, and each of Straight Path’s directors. The complaint alleged that the Company aided and abetted Straight Path Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer Davidi Jonas, and Howard S. Jonas in his capacity as controlling stockholder of Straight Path, in breaching their fiduciary duties to Straight Path in connection with the settlement of claims between Straight Path and the Company related to potential indemnification claims concerning Straight Path’s obligations under the Consent Decree it entered into with the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), as well as the sale of Straight Path’s subsidiary Straight Path IP Group, Inc. to the Company in connection with that settlement. That action was consolidated with a similar action that was initiated by The Arbitrage Fund. The Plaintiffs sought, among other things, (i) a declaration that the action may be maintained as a class action or in the alternative, that demand on the Straight Path Board is excused; (ii) that the term sheet is invalid; (iii) awarding damages for the unfair price stockholders received in the merger between Straight Path and Verizon Communications Inc. for their shares of Straight Path’s Class B common stock; and (iv) ordering Howard S. Jonas, Davidi Jonas, and the Company to disgorge any profits for the benefit of the class Plaintiffs. On August 28, 2017, the Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The trial was held in August and December 2022, and closing arguments were presented on May 3, 2023. On October 3, 2023, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware dismissed all claims against the Company, and found that, contrary to the plaintiffs’ allegations, the class suffered no damages. The plaintiffs will have 30 days from entry of the final order to file an appeal.

 

 

In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to other legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business and have not been finally adjudicated. Although there can be no assurance in this regard, the Company believes that none of the other legal proceedings to which the Company is a party will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

Sales Tax Contingency

 

On June 21, 2018, the United States Supreme Court rendered a decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., holding that a state may require a remote seller with no physical presence in the state to collect and remit sales tax on goods and services provided to purchasers in the state, overturning certain existing court precedent. It is possible that one or more jurisdictions may assert that the Company has liability for periods for which it has not collected sales, use or other similar taxes, and if such an assertion or assertions were successful it could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and operating results. One or more jurisdictions may change their laws or policies to apply their sales, use or other similar taxes to the Company’s operations, and if such changes were made it could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and operating results.

 

Regulatory Fees Audit

 

  The Company’s 2017 FCC Form 499-A, which reports its calendar year 2016 revenue, was audited by the Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”). The USAC’s final decision imposed a $2.9 million charge on the Company for the Federal Telecommunications Relay Service (“TRS”) Fund. The Company has appealed the USAC’s final decision to the FCC and does not intend to remit payment for the TRS Fund fees unless and until a negative decision on its appeal has been issued. The Company has made certain changes to its filing policies and procedures for years that remain potentially under audit. At January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, the Company’s accrued expenses included $23.4 million and $26.8 million, respectively, for FCC-related regulatory fees for the year covered by the audit, as well as prior and subsequent years.

   

Purchase Commitments

 

At January 31, 2024, the Company had purchase commitments of $17.6 million primarily for equipment and services.

 

Performance Bonds

 

The Company has performance bonds issued through third parties for the benefit of various states in order to comply with the states’ financial requirements for money remittance licenses and telecommunications resellers. At January 31, 2024, the Company had aggregate performance bonds of $29.0 million outstanding.

Note 18—Income Taxes

 

As of January 31, 2024, the Company’s best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for fiscal 2024 was 24.7% compared to 27.0% at July 31, 2023. The change in the estimated effective tax rate was mainly due to differences in the amount of taxable income earned in the various taxing jurisdictions.

Note 19—Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures as well as certain other amendments to income tax disclosures. Entities will be required on an annual basis to consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of rate reconciliation information and further disaggregate their income taxes paid. The Company will adopt the amendments in this ASU for its fiscal year beginning on August 1, 2025. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60), Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets, that changes the accounting for crypto assets from a cost-less-impairment model to fair value, with changes recognized in net income each reporting period. The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures including, among other things, the name, cost basis, fair value, and number of units for each significant holding, and a rollforward of annual activity including additions, dispositions, gains, and losses. The Company will adopt the amendments in this ASU for its fiscal year beginning on August 1, 2025. The ASU requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to improve the disclosures about reportable segments and add more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The amendments in the ASU require public entities to disclose on an annual and interim basis significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, other segment items by reportable segment, the title and position of the CODM, and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU does not change the definition of a segment, the method for determining segments, the criteria for aggregating operating segments into reportable segments, or the current specifically enumerated segment expenses that are required to be disclosed. The Company will adopt the amendments in this ASU for its fiscal year beginning on August 1, 2024 applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The Company is evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, that clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The ASU also requires specific disclosures related to equity securities that are subject to contractual sales restrictions. The Company will adopt the amendments in this ASU prospectively on August 1, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

 

From and after August 1, 2023, the Company includes depreciation and amortization in “Direct cost of revenues” and “Selling, general and administrative” expense and is reporting gross profit (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) in the consolidated statements of income. Prior to August 1, 2023, depreciation and amortization was a separate caption in the consolidated statements of income. Depreciation and amortization expense of $5.0 million in the three months ended January 31, 2023 was reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation as follows: $1.1 million was reclassified to “Direct cost of revenues” and $3.9 million was reclassified to “Selling, general and administrative” expense, and depreciation and amortization expense of $9.8 million in the six months ended January 31, 2023 was reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation as follows: $2.1 million was reclassified to “Direct cost of revenues” and $7.7 million was reclassified to “Selling, general and administrative” expense.

 

In the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash provided by “Trade accounts receivable” in the six months ended January 31, 2023 of $13.8 million was reclassified to “Settlement assets, disbursement prefunding, prepaid expenses, other current assets, and other assets” to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

 

On August 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, that changed the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For receivables, entities are required to use a new forward-looking current expected credit loss model to determine its allowance for credit losses, which replaced the allowance for doubtful accounts. When determining the allowance for credit losses for its trade accounts receivable, the Company considers the probability of recoverability of accounts receivable based on past experience, taking into account current collection trends and general economic factors, including bankruptcy rates. The Company also considers future economic trends to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of the asset. Credit risks will be assessed based on historical write-offs, net of recoveries, as well as an analysis of the aged accounts receivable balances with allowances generally increasing as the receivable ages. Accounts receivable may be fully reserved for when specific collection issues are known to exist, such as pending bankruptcies. Account balances are written off against the allowance when it is determined that the receivable will not be recovered. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, the concept of “other-than-temporary” impairment was replaced by a determination whether any impairment is a result of a credit loss or other factors. The portion of the unrealized loss that is the result of a credit loss is recognized as an allowance and a corresponding expense recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income. Unrealized loss that is not the result of a credit loss is recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the consolidated balance sheets. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and it was not necessary to record a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of August 1, 2023.
