REMARKS BY SHMUEL JONAS, CEO
IDT delivered consolidated revenue growth and record levels of gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter. NRS led the top-line expansion, while all three of our growth segments reported strong bottom-line results. Our Traditional Communications segment again provided steady cash generation.
NRS recurring revenue increased 22% year-over-year, helping to drive a 35% increase in income from operations and a 33% increase in Adjusted EBITDA. This quarter we continued to launch and build-out innovative premium services – delivery integrations, couponing, and product data scan programs to name a few. Our premium offerings are becoming important growth drivers, and factored into the large increase in average recurring revenue per terminal * this quarter. There is tremendous opportunity for additional, long-term growth through innovation both in NRS’s current and in adjacent markets.
At BOSS Money, our digital channel continues to outperform retail, and that trend may accelerate as implementation of the new federal excise tax on cash remittances begins on January 1 st. The Fintech segment’s income from operations and Adjusted EBITDA nearly doubled year-over-year, aided by BOSS Money’s increasing operating leverage and the enhanced profitability of other, smaller Fintech initiatives. Our push to integrate tailored AI and machine learning into BOSS Money customer service and fraud detection activities have helped to significantly improve unit economics. Looking ahead, we will soon introduce the first generation of the BOSS Wallet, enabling our U.S. customers to share cash and receive rewards.
During the quarter, net2phone began offering its AI agent to both our existing and new customers, and added our Coach AI solution at the quarter’s end. Increasingly, our customers are ordering multiple net2phone offerings to enhance their operations and streamline workflows. As a result, we have pivoted from stand-alone product offerings to holistic solutions comprised of multiple offerings tailored to customers’ communications and workflows. This approach plays to net2phone’s product and distribution strengths, and we are very excited about the potential as we continue to add AI solutions.
On a final note, the Delaware Supreme Court in a ruling issued yesterday affirmed the decision of the Court of Chancery dismissing all claims against IDT in the Straight Path class action suit, and we are very pleased that this case has now been favorably resolved.

OTHER FINANCIAL RESULTS
Consolidated results for all periods presented include corporate overhead. Corporate G&A expense decreased 6% to $2.7 million in 1Q26 from $2.9 million in 1Q25.
As of October 31, 2025, IDT held $220.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, debt securities, and current equity investments, exclusive of restricted cash. Also as of October 31, 2025, current assets totaled $550.5 million and current liabilities totaled $305.4 million. IDT had no outstanding debt at the quarter end.
Net cash used in operating activities in 1Q26 was $10.1 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $164 thousand in 1Q25. Exclusive of changes in customer funds deposits at IDT’s Fintech segment, adjusted net cash used in operating activities* in 1Q26 was $20.7 million compared to $2.6 million used in 1Q25. The decline in cash is due entirely to working capital timing, as 1Q26 ended on a Friday, which is almost always the day of the week where cash levels are at their lowest, due to prepaid weekend funding requirements for IDT’s BOSS Money remittance business.
Capital expenditures increased to $5.8 million in 1Q26 from $5.3 million in 1Q25.
FY 2026 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
As mentioned in last quarter’s (4Q25) earnings release, starting with 1Q26 IDT has revised its non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA definition to exclude non-cash compensation expense. Prior period results have been adjusted to the new definition. The FY 2026 Reclassification table at the end of this release provides a reconciliation to the former Adjusted EBITDA measure.
IDT maintains its previous FY 2026 guidance (which had been given using the revised Adjusted EBITDA definitions) — expecting to generate Adjusted EBITDA within the range of $141-$145 million.
Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to net income and income from operations for all periods presented are included in the Non-GAAP reconciliations provided at the end of this release.
DIVIDEND
The Board of Directors of IDT Corporation declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share of IDT Common stock payable on December 23, 2025 to stockholders of record as of December 15, 2025.

FY 2026 Reclassification
Effective fiscal 1Q26, the Company revised its non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA definition to exclude non-cash compensation expense. Prior period results were adjusted to the new definition.
The revision is intended to make IDT’s measure of Adjusted EBITDA more directly comparable to those reported by IDT’s peers while more closely reflecting consolidated and segment level operating cash flows.
The table below reconciles the revised measure of IDT’s non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to the measure previously provided for each quarter and full year FY 2024, FY 2025, and for 1Q26 and the trailing twelve months (TTM) ended October 1, 2025:
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the First Quarter Fiscal 2026 and 2025
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), IDT also disclosed (a) Adjusted EBITDA for 1Q26, 4Q25, and 1Q25, among other quarters (b) non-GAAP earnings per diluted share (Non-GAAP EPS) for 1Q26 and 1Q25 (c) NRS’ ‘Rule of 40’ score for 1Q26 and (d) non-GAAP adjusted net cash provided by or used in operating activities for 1Q26 and 1Q25. These are non-GAAP financial measures intended to provide useful information that supplements IDT’s or the relevant segment’s results in accordance with GAAP. The following explains these terms and their respective reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
Generally, a non-GAAP measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
IDT’s measure of Adjusted EBITDA starts with net income from operations in accordance with GAAP and adds depreciation and amortization, severance expense, stock-based compensation, and other operating expenses, and deducts other operating income.
IDT’s measure of Non-GAAP EPS is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by the diluted weighted-average shares. IDT’s measure of non-GAAP net income starts with net income attributable to IDT in accordance with GAAP and adds severance expense, stock-based compensation, and other operating expenses, and deducts other operating income. These additions and subtractions are non-cash and/or non-routine items in the relevant fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 periods.
Management believes that IDT’s Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP EPS are measures which provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses and non-routine gains and losses that may not be indicative of IDT’s or the relevant segment’s core operating results. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, among other measures, as a relevant indicator of core operational strengths in its financial and operational decision making. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP EPS to evaluate operating performance in relation to IDT’s competitors. Disclosure of these financial measures may be useful to investors in evaluating performance and allow for greater transparency of the underlying supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. In addition, IDT has historically reported similar financial measures and believes such measures are commonly used by readers of financial information in assessing performance, therefore the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in financial reporting.
Management refers to Adjusted EBITDA, as well as the GAAP measures income (loss) from operations and net income, on a segment and/or consolidated level to facilitate internal and external comparisons to the segments’ and IDT’s historical operating results, in making operating decisions, for budget and planning purposes, and to form the basis upon which management is compensated.
While depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under GAAP, these expenses primarily represent the non-cash current period allocation of costs associated with long-lived assets acquired or capitalized in prior periods. IDT’s Adjusted EBITDA, which is exclusive of depreciation and amortization, is a useful indicator of its current performance.
Severance expense is excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP EPS. Severance expense is reflective of decisions made by management in each period regarding the aspects of IDT’s and its segments’ businesses to be focused on in light of changing market realities and other factors. While there may be similar charges in other periods, the nature and magnitude of these charges can fluctuate markedly and do not reflect the performance of IDT’s core and continuing operations.
Other operating income (expense), net, which is a component of income (loss) from operations, is excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP EPS. Other operating expense, net primarily includes legal fees net of insurance claims related to Straight Path Communications Inc.’s stockholders’ class action, legal settlements, and gains from the write-off of contingent consideration liabilities. From time-to-time, IDT may have gains or incur costs related to non-routine legal, tax, and other matters, however, these various items generally do not occur each quarter. IDT believes the gain and losses from these non-routine matters are not components of IDT’s or the relevant segment’s core operating results.
Stock-based compensation recognized by IDT and other companies may not be comparable because of the variety of types of awards as well as the various valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions that are permitted under GAAP. Stock-based compensation is excluded from IDT’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP EPS because management believes this allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons of the operating results per share of IDT’s core business with the results of other companies. Stock-based compensation continues to be a significant expense for IDT and an important part of employees’ compensation that impacts their performance.
Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP EPS should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, income (loss) from operations, cash flow from operating activities, net income, basic and diluted earnings per share or other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, IDT’s measurements of Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The ‘Rule of 40’ score is a metric used to evaluate the performance of SaaS providers. It postulates that a SaaS provider’s revenue growth rate plus its EBITDA margin should equal or exceed 40 percent. The ‘Rule of 40’ is typically used to assess a company’s balance between growth and profitability. A total of over 40 is thought to indicate a healthy combination of expansion and financial stability, making it a useful tool for management and investors to gauge the potential for long-term success and make informed decisions about resource allocation and business strategy.
NRS’ ‘Rule of 40’ score is computed by adding (a) the growth rate of NRS’ recurring revenue for the relevant period compared to the corresponding year ago period to (b) NRS’ Adjusted EBITDA margin for the twelve-month period through the end of the current period. NRS’ recurring revenue is calculated by subtracting NRS’ revenue from POS terminal sales from its total GAAP revenue. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure as discussed above. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by GAAP revenue for the relevant period.
IDT’s Non-GAAP adjusted measure of net cash provided by operating activities is calculated by excluding the impact of changes in customer deposits from net cash provided by operating activities. This measure provides a more meaningful measure of the cash generated by our core business operations, making it a more useful tool for management and investors to evaluate the cash generation of our business operations, and to compare IDT’s cash generation with companies that do not have, or have different levels of, customer deposits. Customer deposits are, by regulation, not available to fund IDT’s operating activities.
Following are reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which are, (a) for Adjusted EBITDA, (i) income (loss) from operations for IDT’s reportable segments and (ii) net income for IDT on a consolidated basis, and (b) for Non-GAAP EPS, diluted earnings per share. Also following is NRS’ ‘Rule of 40’ score computation including the reconciliation of NRS’ Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, NRS’ income from operations, and IDT’s Non-GAAP adjusted measure of net cash provided by operating activities reconciled to GAAP net cash provided by operating activities.

Explanation of Key Performance Metrics
net2phone’s subscription revenue is calculated by subtracting net2phone’s equipment revenue and revenue generated by a legacy SIP trunking offering in Brazil from its revenue in accordance with GAAP. net2phone’s cloud communications and contact center offerings are priced on a per-seat basis, with customers paying based on the number of users in their organization. The number of seats served and subscription revenue trends and comparisons between periods are used in the analysis of net2phone’s revenues and direct cost of revenues and are strong indications of the top-line growth and performance of the business.
NRS’ Monthly Average Recurring Revenue per Terminal is calculated by dividing NRS’ recurring revenue as defined in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures by the average number of active POS terminals during the period. The average number of active POS terminals is calculated by adding the beginning and ending number of active POS terminals during the period and dividing by two. NRS’ recurring revenue divided by the average number of active POS terminals is divided by three when the period is a fiscal quarter. Recurring revenue and Monthly Average Recurring Revenue per Terminal are useful for comparisons of NRS’ revenue and revenue per customer to prior periods and to competitors and others in the market, as well as for forecasting future revenue from the customer base.
BOSS Money transactions are a nonfinancial metric that measures customer usage during a reporting period. BOSS Money’s digital send volume is the aggregate amount of principal remitted by BOSS Money’s digital customers – those using the BOSS Money and BOSS Revolutions apps to originate remittances. Digital send volume is a key metric for evaluating the operational performance of the digital channel of the remittance business, and for comparing the performance of BOSS Money’s digital channel to competitors in the remittance business as well as to performance to other temporal periods.
