IDT Corporation IDT Corporation 2019 Annual Report Dear Fellow Stockholders: IDT has incubated start-ups and other promising growth initiatives since its inception and unlocked their value for our stockholders through spinoff s, buybacks and/or dividends. We intend to continue that strategy for our stockholders going forward. The past year saw rapid expansion of our current portfolio of new business initiatives. As we head into 2020, we continue to carefully allocate capital generated by our core off erings in the mature paid voice communications market to fuel the growth of these newer businesses. Among the many initiatives with the potential to achieve a valuation greater than the market assigns to all of IDT today, three are relatively advanced and scaling rapidly: • National Retail Solutions (NRS) has become a leading provider of point-of-sale store management services for independent retailers. NRS has over 8,100 POS terminals in independent retailers across the country and is building out its network rapidly. Our reach has enabled us to build multiple off erings with associated revenue streams including merchant services, loyalty software, online order fulfi llment, inventory replenishment, manufacturer rebates, CPG coupons, in-store advertising and data sales…to name just a few. • net2phone’s off ering in the +$50 billion unifi ed communications as a service (UCaaS) market has already surpassed the 100,000-seat milestone — just four years after launch. Growth is especially strong in our Latin American markets (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Mexico) where we have successfully leveraged our established infrastructure including our locally-based and deeply knowledgeable personnel, distribution channels and telecom expertise. As we further develop our distribution, off ering and feature sets, we are laying the foundation for continued rapid growth in 2020 and beyond. • Our money transfer service is competing and winning against some of the biggest names in the industry. Our direct-to-consumer channel more than doubled sales this year and we fi nally started to see very promising results from our retail channel sales. In the coming year, we will continue to build on the synergies between the D2C and retail channels and expand our global payments network. We come to work every day excited by these opportunities and ready to face the challenges head-on. I look forward to reporting to you our progress and thank you for your investment in IDT.

Each reference to a fiscal year in this Annual Report refers to the fiscal year ending in the calendar year indicated (for example, fiscal 2019 refers to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2019). Item 1. Business. OVERVIEW We are a multinational company with operations primarily in the telecommunications and payment industries. We have two reportable business segments, Telecom & Payment Services and net2phone (formerly net2phone-Unified Communications as a Service, or UCaaS). Our Telecom & Payment Services segment provides retail telecommunications and payment offerings as well as wholesale international long-distance traffic termination. Our net2phone segment provides unified cloud communications and telephony services to business customers. Operating segments not reportable individually are included in All Other. For fiscal 2019, we modified the business verticals within our Telecom & Payment Services and net2phone segments to align more closely with our business strategy and operational structure. The modification to the business verticals did not change the reportable business segments. Our Telecom & Payment Services segment comprises Core and Growth verticals: • Core includes our three largest communications and payments offerings by revenue: • BOSS Revolution Calling, an international long-distance calling service marketed primarily to immigrant communities in the United States; • Carrier Services, which provides international long-distance termination and outsourced traffic management solutions to telecoms worldwide; and • Mobile Top-Up, which enables customers to transfer airtime and bundles of airtime, messaging and data credits to mobile accounts internationally and domestically. Core also includes smaller communications and payments offerings - many in harvest mode. • Growth is comprised of: • National Retail Solutions, or NRS, which operates a point-of-sale, or POS, terminal-based network for independent retailers; • BOSS Revolution Money Transfer, which provides an international money remittance service for customers in the United States; and • BOSS Revolution Mobile, a mobile virtual network operator which provides mobile phone service over a third-party network for customers in the United States. Our net2phone segment is comprised of two verticals: • net2phone-UCaaS, a unified cloud communications service for businesses offered globally; and • net2phone-Platform Services, which leverages a common technology platform to provide telephony services to cable operators and other businesses.

Examples of internal organiza- tional computer networks are a university computer system, the computer system of a corporation such as IBM or McDonald’s, a hospital computer system, or a system used by a small business across the street from you. Participating computer systems, called nodes, include PCs, local area networks, database(s), and mainframes.A node may include several networks of an organization, possibly connected by a wide area network. The Internet connects to hundreds of thousands of computer networks in more than 200 countries so that people can access data in other organizations, and can communicate and collaborate around the globe, quickly and inexpensively. Thus, the Internet has become a necessity in the conduct of modern business. The Internet grew out of an experimental project of the Advanced Research Proj- BRIEF HISTORY ect Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. Department of Defense.The project was initiated in 1969 as ARPAnet to test the feasibility of a wide area computer network over which researchers, educators, military personnel, and government agencies could share data, exchange messages, and transfer files.

  • IDT Corporation
    IDT Corporation 2015 Annual Report Dear Fellow Stockholders: IDT delivered a strong performance in fi scal 2015. We generated over $44 million in Adjusted EBITDA* thanks to robust contributions by our Retail Communications, Wholesale Carrier Services and Payments Services businesses within IDT Telecom. The sale of our stake in Fabrix, a provider of video storage and processing software, helped boost diluted EPS to $3.63. We also returned over $47 million in cash to our stockholders through our quarterly and special dividends. At IDT Telecom, by far our largest business, our success was due in part to our sharpened focus on serving the communications and payments needs of foreign born residents here in the United States. Because our business is inextricably linked to immigration, I read with interest that the Pew Research Center estimates that 59 million immigrants have arrived in the U.S. since 1965. The foreign born population in the U.S. continues to both increase and diversify, with the fastest growth coming from Asia and Africa. Under the banner of our Boss Revolution brand, we have already established a very strong position in some foreign-born communities, but in many others we have plenty of room to run. To seize this opportunity, we will continue to develop and deploy new offerings tailored to meet the unique communications and payments needs of these newcomers to America. In fi scal 2016, we will expand the Boss Revolution portfolio with peer-to-peer messaging, virtual gift cards, and international money transfer via mobile devices. We’ll support all of our Boss Revolution offerings with our extensive (45,000 U.S.

  • IDT Corporation
    IDT Corporation 2010 Annual Report Dear Fellow Stockholders: I have always thought of IDT as an engine of innovation, and in particular, as a vehicle to research, incubate and deploy game-changing technologies to benefit American consumers. Over our 20-year history, this approach has led to some remarkable successes: • When IDT pioneered the automated international call re-origination service, we attacked the highly regulated model of international telecommunications and opened that market to retail competition. The result – consumers benefitted from drastically lower international dialing costs. • Our Net2Phone subsidiary pioneered VoIP, and today, internet based telephony is ubiquitous. Once again, traditional pricing models were upended and consumers have reaped the benefits. Likewise, our oil shale initiatives in Western Colorado and Israel fit this model for innovation. Shale oil is a magnifi- cent, virtually untapped resource. Its development will substantially increase the long term supply of petroleum-based fuels, moderate liquid fuel prices for consumers, reduce price volatility, and enhance energy security for America and its allies. Oil shale is not the only area where IDT is developing disruptive technologies. Fabrix, an innovative technology venture, has pioneered a software platform for next generation television services. Its sophisticated cloud based DVR solution is currently being deployed by its first customer, a large cable operator. Zedge, our platform for the sharing and discovery of mobile content, continues to roll out exciting new features that are driving strong growth in its global user community. For all the promise of these initiatives, we remain focused on our core businesses – IDT Telecom and IDT Energy. The strong performances delivered by both these businesses in fiscal 2010 provided IDT with $48 million in free cash flow even as we continued to invest modestly in our high growth potential initiatives.
