OUR
STRATEGY
We
are a fintech and communications solutions provider with synergistic offerings focused on underserved, fragmented consumer and B2B markets.
Many of our offerings leverage one or more of our core strategic assets assets that we have carefully built during the thirty-five
years since our inception. These assets include:
| 
| 
| 
Our
popular BOSS consumer brands (BOSS Money and BOSS Revolution) and our leading B2B brands NRS, NRS Pay, NRS Digital Media, NRS Insights,
net2phone, IDT Global and Zendit; | |
| 
| 
| 
Our
nationwide network of over 32,000 independent retailers who operate NRS POS-based platform and approximately 25,000 BOSS Revolution
and BOSS Money retailers who utilize our digital retailer platform; | |
| 
| 
| 
Our
customer base of more than seven million people, predominantly first and second-generation immigrants within the U.S.; | |
| 
| 
| 
Our
global technology infrastructure and high-capacity transaction platforms; | |
| 
| 
| 
Extensive
VoIP and cloud services expertise; and | |
| 
| 
| 
Our
staff of approximately 2,400 dedicated personnel working in over 30 countries on five continents including in-house technology and
product development teams. | |
The
development of each of our current high margin growth businesses NRS, BOSS Money, and net2phone - has been principally organic
and financed with the cash flows generated by our mature businesses. Consequently, we have avoided debt financing and dilutive capital
raises. Today, each of these high-margin growth businesses is cash-flow positive, and in combination with our efforts to maximize the
cash generation of our lower margin, mature offerings, have enabled us to improve our consolidated bottom-line performance in recent
years, to further strengthen our balance sheet, and to return value to stockholders through purchases of our Class B common stock and
payment of a quarterly dividend. We expect that this trend will continue as the three high-margin businesses steadily become larger contributors
to our top and bottom-line results.
We
seek to accelerate and extend this rotation by developing new offerings organically and through acquisitions that leverage our balance
sheet. Broadly speaking, these efforts are focused on, but not limited to, our POS, fintech and AI businesses, and typically involve
development or application of new technologies, expansion to new markets, or both.
BUSINESS
DESCRIPTION
National
Retail Solutions
NRS
generated $128.8 million in revenues and income from operations of $27.8 million in fiscal 2025, as compared with revenues of $103.1
million and income from operations of $21.6 million in fiscal 2024.
NRS
operates a network of POS terminals at independent retailers throughout the United States and has a small but growing presence in Canada.
The NRS solutions include integrated hardware and software tools that enable these retailers to operate more efficiently and compete
more effectively against larger retail chains.
The
POS terminals hardware includes a cash register, barcode scanner, retailer and customer-facing hi-definition screens, a receipt
printer, and a credit card reader. NRS integrated, proprietary software is offered to retailers as a service and provides operational
tools including inventory management, sales tracking, price book management, and other useful features. NRS technology teams continuously
enhance the software and develop new features to better serve existing customers and facilitate expansion into additional retail market
segments.
| 3 | |
The
primary market for NRS POS terminals is the independently owned convenience, bodega, liquor, grocery, and tobacco stores, many
of which primarily serve foreign-born communities in urban areas.
NRS
continues to increase the number of POS terminals active in its network. As of July 31, 2025, the NRS POS network included approximately
37,200 terminals, an increase from 32,100 a year earlier. We believe that our network of NRS retailers comprises the largest POS network
serving independent convenience store retailers in the U.S. by a significant margin. 
NRS
markets through three channels:
| 
| 
| 
wholesale
distributors; | |
| 
| 
| 
dedicated
sales agents including exclusive agents and BOSS agents; and | |
| 
| 
| 
in-house
telemarketing. | |
NRS
generates revenue from a portfolio of services for both retailers and third parties. The majority of revenue is generated by recurring
services including:
| 
| 
| 
Merchant Services.
Merchant services revenue is generated by enabling retailers to accept and process payments made by credit cards, debit cards, electronic
benefits transfer and other forms of electronic payment. The NRS offering is attractive to retailers for several reasons: | |
| 
| 
| 
For new customers / retailers,
NRS incentivizes retailers to also enroll in NRS payment processing by reducing the cost of the NRS POS hardware; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
NRS payment processing
pricing model is straightforward and easily understood. NRS does not charge hidden fees a frequent sore point for retailers
under contract to other providers; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
NRS provides the payment
processing equipment at no cost to the retailer; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
NRS offers several credit
card processing plans that include a cash discount offering, a standard plan and customized pricing. | |
NRS
operates as an independent service organization (ISO), acting as an essential, retailer-facing intermediary between NRS retailers and
its payment facilitator.
At
July 31, 2025, NRS had approximately 26,500 NRS payment processing customers compared to approximately 21,300 a year earlier.
| 
| 
| 
Display Advertising.
NRS offerings participate in the retail media network advertising market. Through its NRS Digital Media brand, NRS operates
a nationwide, digital retail media platform. The platform leverages the 15-inch digital consumer facing display screens on each NRS
terminal enabling advertisers to engage customers at the time of purchase. NRS Digital Media offers its large inventory of static and
video advertisements, including video accompanying third-party provisioned content, extensive reach into the predominantly urban, multicultural
consumer market served by NRS retailers. NRS Digital Media goes to market through both programmatic advertising platforms that match
buyers with sellers in real time, and, to a lesser extent, through direct channels to consumer package-good sellers and other brand
marketers, government agencies and non-profits. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Data and Analytics:
NRS licenses its first party retail data from merchants operating the NRS POS system to consumer-packaged goods brands, marketers,
and other third-parties under its NRS Insights brand. This data captures product sales processed through the NRS POS at the transaction
level including all scannable products identified with a universal product code (UPC) as well as items prepared or packaged in-house,
i.e., brewed coffee, bakery, and food service. The data are provisioned based on the clients formatting and business requirements
and are typically ingested into broader sales and marketing data warehouses. NRS Insights data typically fill a blind spot in
overall retail sales, as the independent retailer market that NRS serves is often either under-represented through common data syndicators
or not included in their tracked channels. Additionally, because NRS retailers stores predominantly serve urban
consumers, their shoppers over-index to multicultural demographics a view that may be diluted or unavailable through other
data providers and aggregators. | |
The
NRS Insights data are used by licensees both tactically and strategically. Common tactical applications of the data include sales enablement
activities such as identifying core item distribution voids and monitoring speed to shelf and adoption of new product launches. Popular
strategic applications of the data include gaining competitive intelligence, informing research and development activities, and informing
acquisition and merger strategies.
NRS
Insights also provides analytical services to third parties, leveraging its data to answer high impact business questions including,
but not limited to, advertising measurement, market-basket studies, inventory (SKU) optimization, and price elasticity.
| 
| 
| 
Terminal-based software
services. NRS offers retailers several Software as a Service (SaaS) plans for its proprietary terminal software. These plans offer
differentiated packages of features and functionalities including advanced business operations tools, e-commerce functionalities, and
loyalty program management, many of which can be purchased separately. Additional services are offered to retailers on an a la carte
basis. | |
| 4 | |
In
addition to these recurring sources of revenue, NRS sells its POS terminals to retailers. Discounted terminal pricing is available to
retailers who sign up for NRS Pay.
We
believe that NRS competitive advantages include:
| 
| 
| 
Our purpose-built package
of hardware and software is tailored specifically to the needs of independent retailers; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Our established direct sales
and marketing capabilities focused on independent retailers including our relationships with the wholesale distributors who supply
these stores; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Our POS terminals
15 inch hi-definition customer-facing screen for displaying advertising and promotions provisioned via the NRS platform, and established
relationships with supply side advertising platforms; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Our ability to accept and
target advertising and content in multiple formats to meet the needs of a diverse variety of potential advertising inventory buyers; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
For our data analytics business,
the scale of our network and unique reach into the urban consumer convenience store market; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Our focus on urban markets
with high concentrations of first- and second-generation immigrants that provides advertisers and marketers with unprecedented reach
and insight into these communities; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
For NRS payment processing,
we are ideally positioned to supply payment processing services to retailers who purchase, or already utilize, our terminals, and appeal
to many more potential customers through simplified, transparent pricing plans with credit card terminals, no hidden fees and lower
total cost to operate than most competitors; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
n certain states, NRS
payment processing solution is licensed to accept governmental electronic benefit transfers that certain competitors may not be licensed
to accept; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Because of our large scale
compared to newcomers and smaller competitors, we can attractively price our software-as-a-service fees at levels that are generally
well below theirs; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Our ability to leverage new
offerings for retailers through third party providers who are attracted by our scale and the flexibility of our platform; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Our experienced and proven
management team, many of whom have been with NRS since inception. | |
NRS
growth strategy includes:
| 
| 
| 
Expansion of our POS terminal
network into new retail verticals, enabled in some markets, by the development of new POS hardware formats and software functionalities; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Subsidize the POS hardware,
particularly for retailers who also enroll in NRS payment processing; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
For NRS payment processing,
conversion of current NRS terminal customers, particularly as contracts with their existing credit card processors expire, and conversion
of existing NRS payment processing customers to higher margin pricing plans; | |
| 
|

Competition
Currently,
nationwide POS platform service providers, including Square, Toast, Lightspeed, Clover, and NCR, primarily serve retail chains or are
focused on other retail segments, such as sit-down restaurant chains.
NRS
markets its POS platform offerings primarily to independent convenience stores, including bodegas, and other small format retailer store
owners including liquor and tobacco stores. A large majority of new NRS customers did not previously use a POS system. In the minority
of cases where potential customers are using, or are considering using, an alternative solution, we believe that NRS suite of
proprietary software solutions, affordable and discounted POS equipment and free credit card terminals are key drivers behind its success
versus the competition.
NRS
expects to encounter more frequent direct competition from local and/or national POS networks as it expands to new adjacent target markets.
Fintech
Fintech
is comprised of BOSS Money and other, significantly smaller, financial services businesses. Fintech revenues were $154.6 million in fiscal
2025 compared to $120.7 million in fiscal 2024. Fintechs income from operations was $15.4 million in fiscal 2025 compared to a
loss from operations of $0.1 million in fiscal 2024. BOSS Money revenues were $139.8 million in fiscal 2025, an increase of 29.1% from
revenues of $108.3 million in fiscal 2024.
BOSS
Money enables customers in the United States to send money conveniently and affordably to third parties around the world. International
remittances are a primary economic activity for the tens of millions of first- and second-generation immigrants in the United States.
At July 31, 2025, BOSS Money provided its remittance service to 50 countries through approximately 1,800 disbursement partners and its
payout network included over 250,000 cash payout locations worldwide in addition to a growing number of bank deposits, mobile money wallets,
debit cards, and home delivery payout options.
BOSS
Money is offered directly to consumers via our digital channel the BOSS Money app and the BOSS Revolution app. To utilize our
digital channel, customers can use their debit or credit cards or authorize ACH transfers from their bank accounts.
Our
retail channel network comprises licensed and authorized BOSS Money agents nationwide. Customers can initiate transfers through a BOSS
Money agent with cash as well as with their debit or credit cards.
We
continue to build our retail origination network by using our internal sales force to recruit new BOSS Money retailers, primarily focusing
on retailers that already provision BOSS Revolution and IDT Digital Payments services. To qualify to provide our service, BOSS Money
retailers must meet stringent financial and other regulatory qualifications. We also continue to enhance the BOSS Money retailer portal
and platform to make transaction execution more convenient for retailers, the majority of whom host multiple remittance providers.
We
continue to expand our BOSS Money customer base at rates well above the domestic remittance industrys average by marketing our
service to the large base of customers who utilize our BOSS Revolution voice calling and IDT Digital Payments offering. We offer new
customers attractive fee and foreign exchange rate offers, through both our digital and retail channels, and through online, media and
events advertising.
BOSS
Money generates revenues from a per-transaction fee charged to the customer and from foreign exchange differentials. Our transaction
costs include commissions paid when the transaction is initiated by a retail agent, payment to the international disbursing agent, banking,
compliance and foreign currency exchange costs, and, for digital transfers, credit and debit card processing fees.
BOSS
Moneys gross margins are typically higher on remittances initiated through our digital channels compared to retail channel transactions,
as we pay retail agents transaction-based commissions on the latter.
Competition
and Competitive Strengths
The
money transfer industry is intensely competitive, with participants ranging from banks, digital remittance providers, fintech startups
and traditional remitters. Digital competitors such as Xoom (a subsidiary of PayPal), Wise, Remitly, and Sendwave along with traditional
money remitters, including Western Union, Ria, MoneyGram, Intermex and Viamericas compete in the remittance space.
| 6 | |
We
continue to compete successfully in part by migrating customers of our other BOSS offerings from their current remittance providers to
BOSS Money leveraging our highly regarded BOSS brand, insights into our customers, and cross-marketing capabilities. We compete for customers
outside the BOSS ecosystem primarily based on brand reputation, low fees, and competitive foreign exchange rates. We believe that BOSS
Moneys competitive strengths include:
| 
| 
| 
Our BOSS name is an established
and trusted brand that has served immigrant communities in the United States for well over a decade. We spend significantly on BOSS-branded
marketing to support BOSS Revolution and BOSS Money. Through the nationwide network of over 30,000 BOSS Revolution retailers, the BOSS
brand has a high-visibility storefront presence in many communities with significant immigrant populations; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
The BOSS customer eco-system
includes the large customer bases of BOSS Revolution and IDT Digital Payments. We are able to significantly lower BOSS Moneys
customer acquisition costs, and therefore grow more efficiently, through our intensive cross-product marketing efforts within our eco-system; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
The BOSS Money and BOSS Revolution
apps, which are used for the substantial majority of our transactions, are based on a proprietary, internally developed, scalable platform
that has earned high marks from customers for its ease of use, reliability, and customer service; | |

enables a consistent, holistic approach to new feature deployment, service upgrades, and marketing. The platform has been deployed
in the United States, Brazil, and Mexico to date. net2phone Canada is slated to go into production early in fiscal 2026. | |

of its direct-to-business sales. | |
| 
| 
|

| 
| 
|

third-party software, and deep localization. net2phones on-the-ground presence in international markets accounted for approximately
84% of its personnel at the end of fiscal 2025. Regional-based customer service and sales teams are a key differentiator and propel

Competition
net2phones
most significant competitors in the UCaaS space include RingCentral, 8x8, Crexendo, Vonage, Dialpad and Nextiva. Some AI agent focused
(only) companies such as Lindy or Phonely are also competitors. Many of these companies offer more widely recognized brands, larger and
more developed marketing and sales forces and/or channel agent networks, and more advanced product sets and solutions customized for
specific market segments or verticals. These competitors offerings typically also support integration of their services with other
well-known, third-party CRM vendors as well as with various Google and Microsoft applications.
The
CCaaS market is fragmented, highly competitive and evolving rapidly in response to shifting consumer behavior, especially the rapid adoption
of AI, mobile devices and social media. This proliferation is driving change in contact center technology, as customers expect seamless
communication across any channel according to their preference and needs. net2phone competes with large legacy vendors that offer on-premises
contact center systems, such as Avaya and Cisco. These legacy telephony vendors are increasingly supplementing and replacing their traditional
contact center systems with competing cloud offerings, through a combination of acquisitions, partnerships, and in-house development.
Additionally, net2phone competes with vendors that historically provided other contact center services and technologies and expanded
to offer cloud contact center software such as NICE, Five9, and Genesys. net2phone also faces competition from many smaller contact center
service providers such as Talkdesk and Seranova, as well as vendors offering both unified communications and contact center solutions.
In addition, Amazon and Twilio have introduced solutions aimed at companies who wish to build their own contact centers with in-house
developers. CRM vendors are also increasingly offering features and functionality that were traditionally provided by contact center
service providers. CRM vendors also continue to partner with contact center service providers to provide integrated solutions and may,
in the future, acquire competitive contact center service providers.

IDT
Digital Payments
IDT
Digital Payments revenues were $416.3 million in fiscal 2025 compared to $407.4 million in fiscal 2024 (48.4% and 45.3% of Traditional

revenue is from sales of international mobile top-up services. IDT Digital Payments offers mobile top-up for approximately 194 different
carriers in more than 113 countries, primarily in Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa. IDT Digital Payments leverages our platform
capabilities, our distribution reach into foreign-born communities and our relationships with mobile operators around the world.
IDT

| 
| 
| 
direct-to-consumer, through

| 
| 
retail, through our BOSS

| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
|

in which we provision international offerings for other businesses through Zendits cloud-based prepaid-as-a-service platform. | |

mobile phone customers in developing countries worldwide, the introduction of digital gift cards and e-sims, cross selling to our current
BOSS Revolution and BOSS Money customers, expansion of the Zendit prepaid platform, and further expansion into the enterprise and wholesale
market as well as other regions.
Competition
IDT
Digital Payments major competitors include:
| 
| 
| 
international mobile operators,
who seek to control more of their own distribution channel or create their own products that directly compete with IDT Digital Payments;
and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
other service providers,
distributors, and wholesalers, including Western Union, Ria, Viamericas, DT One, Ding, and Recharge.com. | |
We
believe that IDT Digital Payments competitive advantages include:
| 
| 
| 
our direct connection to
most of the Tier 1 and Tier 2 mobile carriers worldwide; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
the strength of IDTs
balance sheet, which allows us to compete effectively in capital intensive prepaid markets; | |
| 11 | |
| 
| 
| 
our extensive distribution
and retail networks that provide us with a strong presence in communities of foreign-born residents, a significant portion of which
purchase our services with cash; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
our strong omni channel approach,
which includes the BOSS Revolution retailer network, the BOSS digital platform, including the BOSS Money and BOSS Revolution apps and
the BOSS Revolution website, and the enterprise and wholesale channel. | |
BOSS
Revolution
BOSS
Revolutions revenues were $211.2 million in fiscal 2025 compared to $263.2 million in fiscal 2024 (24.6% and 29.3% of Traditional
Communications revenues in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively).
BOSS
Revolution is a prepaid international long-distance calling service marketed primarily to foreign-born and under-banked consumers in
the United States and Canada, and a digital-only offering in Europe and Australia.
BOSS
Revolution includes our flagship BOSS Revolution branded international long-distance prepaid calling service as well as
disposable hard cards sold under a variety of brands. In the United States, BOSS Revolution served, as of July 31, 2025, approximately
1.4 million customers per month.
BOSS
Revolution is offered through our digital channels the BOSS Revolution app and website, and through our extensive national network
of BOSS Revolution retailers.
BOSS
Revolution allows users to place international long-distance calls at affordable rates from the BOSS Revolution app or by calling an
access number. Regardless of how the call originates, our customers must first establish and top-up a prepaid BOSS Revolution account
that is linked to their phone. Customers can open a BOSS Revolution account for free and top-up with a debit or credit card using the
BOSS Revolution app, through the BOSS Revolution website (www.bossrevolution.com) or by phone, or with cash at any BOSS Revolution retailer.
Once the account is established and a call is placed, our platform recognizes the customers phone through its network-provided
automatic number identification and seamlessly links each call to the corresponding BOSS Revolution account. Callers then enter their
destination phone numbers. BOSS Revolution customers account balances are debited at a fixed rate per minute or at a fixed amount
for calling plans to a specific country over a specified time period. In contrast to certain of our competitors, BOSS Revolution does
not charge connection, usage or breakage fees. BOSS Revolutions per minute rates vary by the destination country, city, and whether
the call is placed to a landline or mobile phone. Rates are published on the BOSS Revolution website and within the BOSS Revolution app.
Users
of the BOSS Revolution app constitute the majority of our customers to date. At July 31, 2025, approximately 1.0 million customers per
month utilized the BOSS Revolution app.
In
the United States, we distribute our BOSS Revolution hard cards and other retail products primarily through our network of distributors
that, either directly or through sub-distributors, sell to retail locations. In addition, our internal sales force sells BOSS Revolution
and other platform products directly to retailers.
At
July 31, 2025, approximately 30,000 retailers per month utilized our digital retailer platform to provision customers, the substantial
majority of whom pay the retailer in cash. In addition, we estimate that approximately 1,700 retailers resell our disposable hard cards
without utilizing our retailer portal. BOSS Revolution retailers are typically independent retailers serving foreign-born communities
with significant unbanked or under-banked populations.
The
BOSS Revolution retailer portal can be accessed by any broadband enabled device. Through the portal, retailers can access our platform
to create accounts for new customers, add funds to existing customer balances and execute sales transactions. The platform provides us
with a direct, real-time interface with our BOSS Revolution retailers to create a cost-effective and adaptable distribution model that
allows us to target and promote services directly to distributors and retailers, to introduce and cross-sell new offerings, and to rapidly
adapt to changes in the business environment.
In
the United States, the BOSS Revolution brand is supported by national, regional, and local marketing programs that include television
and radio advertising, online advertising and grass roots marketing at community and sporting events. In addition, we work closely with
distributors and retailers on in-store promotional programs and events.
BOSS
Revolutions retail sales have traditionally been, and continue to be, strongest in the Northeastern United States and in Florida
because of our extensive local distribution network. We continue to grow BOSS Revolutions distributor relationships and expand
BOSS Revolutions retail network in other areas of the United States and Canada, including the Southwest and West Coast.
| 12 | |
Competition
BOSS
Revolution is subject to fierce competition. While virtually any company offering communication services is a competitor, we face particularly
strong competition from Tier 1 mobile network operators who offer flat-rate international calling plans, other PIN-less prepaid voice
offerings, prepaid calling card providers, mobile virtual network operators, and VoIP and other over the top, or OTT, service
providers. Outside the United States, we also compete with large state-owned or state-sanctioned telephone companies.
Many
of these companies, including AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, are substantially larger and have greater financial, technical, engineering,
personnel, and marketing resources, longer operating histories, greater name recognition, and larger customer bases than we do.
In
addition to these larger competitors, we face significant competition from smaller prepaid calling providers.
From
time to time, competitors may offer rates that are substantially below ours, in an attempt to gain market share. In some instances, these
rates are below what we believe to be the cost to provide the service. This predatory pricing can adversely affect our revenues and our
gross margins.
The
continued growth of OTT calling and messaging services such as WhatsApp, Messenger, FaceTime, and others have adversely affected the
sales of BOSS Revolution and our other prepaid calling services. We expect the popularity of these IP-based servicesmany of which
offer free voice and/or video communicationsto continue to increase, which will increase substitution for, and pricing pressure
on, our BOSS Revolution and other international prepaid calling offerings. However, free services typically require both the caller and
recipient to have a broadband connection. BOSS Revolution utilizes telephone networks to enable voice communications even when neither
party has broadband connectivity.
Many
mobile operators offer unlimited international long-distance plans that include international destinations to which customers can place
direct calls from their mobile phones without time limitation. These plans now include some of our most popular international destinations.
The growth of these international unlimited plans adversely affects our revenues as these operators gain subscriber market
share.
Our
ability to compete successfully against these various operators and service providers stems from several factors, including:
| 
| 
| 
our interconnect and termination
agreements, network infrastructure, and least-cost-routing system enable us to offer low-cost, high-quality services; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
our continued innovation
with new plans tailored to the specific needs of different corridors and finding new ways of delivering more value to consumers striving
to connect with family and friends around the globe; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
our extensive distribution
and retail networks provide us with a strong presence in communities of foreign-born residents, a significant portion of which purchase
our services with cash; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
our BOSS Revolution brand
is often highly visible in these communities and has a reputation for quality service and competitive, transparent pricing; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
our continued migration of
our existing customers to our digital platform including the BOSS Revolution app; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
our offering of synergistic
IDT Digital Payments and BOSS Money over the BOSS Revolution platform that customers can conveniently access from their accounts. | |
Our
ability to maintain and/or to capture additional market share will remain dependent upon our ability to continue to provide competitively
priced services, to maintain our distribution and retail networks, to increase usage through the BOSS Revolution app, and to innovate
new products and services to fit the evolving needs of our customers.
IDT
Global
IDT
Globals revenues were $209.6 million in fiscal 2025 compared to $201.1 million in fiscal 2024, contributing 24.4% and 22.4% of
Traditional Communications revenues in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively.
IDT
Global is one of the larger wholesale carriers of international long-distance minutes in the world.
| 13 | |
IDT
Globals telecommunications network is comprised of interconnections and commercial relationships that reach virtually every significant
global telecom operator. These relationships enable us to carry international telecommunications traffic to more than 200 countries around
the world. IDT Globals customers include our BOSS Revolution and net2phone businesses, major and niche carriers around the globe,
mobile network operators, and other service providers such as call aggregators. For many of these customers, particularly the major carriers,
we engage in buy-sell relationships, terminating their customers traffic in exchange for terminating our traffic with them.
IDT
Global offers competitively priced international termination rates at several quality levels. We can offer competitively priced termination
services in part because of the large volumes of originating minutes generated by our BOSS Revolution business, our global platform powered
by proprietary software, our team of professional and experienced account managers and market makers, and our global network of interconnections
and relationships with other telecom operators. IDT Globals services are marketed and sold through our internal account management
team and the IDT Express digital portal. IDT Express focuses on delivering wholesale voice and direct inward dialing, or DID, services
to small and medium size businesses domestically and internationally.
Traditional
Communications terminated 7.4 billion minutes in fiscal 2025, as compared to 8.0 billion minutes in fiscal 2024. IDT Global accounted
for 5.68 billion minutes and 5.70 billion minutes of the total Traditional Communications minutes in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024,
respectively.
IDT
Global has a significant number of direct connections to Tier 1 providers in North America, Latin America, Asia, Africa, Europe, and
the Middle East. Tier 1 providers are the largest recognized licensed carriers in the country. Direct connections improve the quality
of the telephone calls and reduce the cost, thereby enabling us to generate more traffic with higher margins to the associated foreign
locales. We also have direct relationships with mobile network operators, reflecting their growing share of the voice traffic market.
Termination
rates charged by Tier 1 and other providers of international long-distance traffic have been declining for many years. Nevertheless,
termination rates charged to us by individual Tier 1 carriers and mobile operators can be volatile. Termination price volatility on heavily
trafficked routes can significantly impact our minutes of use and wholesale revenues.
In
addition to offering competitive rates to our carrier customers, we emphasize our ability to offer the high-quality connections that
these providers often require. To that end, we offer higher-priced services in which we provide higher-quality connections, based upon
a set of predetermined quality of service criteria. These services meet a growing need for higher-quality connections for some of our
customers who provide services to high-value, quality-conscious retail customers. As of July 31, 2025, IDT Global, through its wholesale
carrier organization and IDT Express channel had more than 1,450 customers, including more than 280 carrier relationships globally.
IDT
Globals revenues are generated by sales to both postpaid and prepaid customers. Postpaid customers typically include Tier 1 carriers,
mobile network operators, and our most creditworthy customers. The majority of IDT Globals prepaid customers connect via our IDT
Express portal. IDT Express offers the convenience of a mobile self-service portal paired with dedicated account managers backed by customer
support. Prepaid customers are typically smaller telecommunication companies as well as independent call aggregators.
IDT
Global also offers outsourcing services to help fixed and mobile telephony operators enhance the profitability and value of their international
voice operations. IDT Global offers these operators customized solutions, including full outsourcing, handing all inbound and outbound
calls with or without switch management, and hybrid arrangements whereby the operator retains certain routes or customers directly. Pursuant
to these deals, IDT Global collaborates with the operators to provide a full range of international long-distance services to their respective
customers in-country and overseas.
IDT
Global is subject to intense revenue and margin pressure as communications globally continues to transition away from international voice
calling to video conferencing and other collaboration platforms, low-cost or free messaging services, free peer-to-peer voice calls available
when both parties utilize broadband connections, and flat-rate international long-distance plans offered both by the largest mobile network
operators and niche mobile virtual network operators.
| 14 | |
Competition
The
wholesale carrier industry has numerous entities competing for the same customers, primarily based on price and quality of service.
IDT
Global participates in a global marketplace with:
| 
| 
| 
interexchange carriers and
other long-distance resellers and providers, including large carriers such as T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
historically state-owned
or state-sanctioned telephone companies such as Telefonica, Orange SA, and KDDI; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
on-line, spot-market trading
exchanges for voice minutes; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
OTT internet telephony providers; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
other VoIP providers; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
other providers of international
long-distance services; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
alliances between large multinational
carriers that provide wholesale carrier services. | |
We
believe that IDT Global derives a competitive advantage over some participants on certain routes from several inter-related factors:
| 
| 
| 
our BOSS Revolution business
generates originating minutes, which represents a desirable, negotiable asset that helps us win return traffic and obtain beneficial
pricing which we can offer in the wholesale marketplace; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
the proprietary technologies
powering our IDT Global platform and, in particular, the software that drives VoIP enables us to scale up or down at a lower cost than
many of our competitors; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
our professional, dedicated
and experienced account management team; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
our extensive network of
interconnects around the globe, with the ability to connect in whichever format (IP or time-division multiplexing, or TDM) is most
feasible. | |
Communications
and Payment Network Infrastructure and Technology Development
Our
products and services utilize a combination of proprietary software as well as technologies and services provided by third parties. We
have developed intuitive user interfaces, customer tools and transaction processing, and database and network applications that enable
our users to reliably and securely complete transactions and help our customers and partners utilize our suite of services. Our technology
infrastructure simplifies the storage and processing of large amounts of data, eases the deployment and operation of large-scale global
products and services, and automates much of the administration of large-scale clusters of computers.
Our
technology infrastructure has been designed around industry-standard architectures to reduce downtime in the event of outages or catastrophic
occurrences. We strive to continually improve our technology infrastructure to enhance the customer experience and to increase efficiency,
scalability, and security. Our platforms architecture enables us to connect parties regardless of whether the transaction is occurring
at a traditional physical location, online, or through a mobile device. Our platforms incorporate multiple layers of protection, both
for continuity purposes and to address cybersecurity challenges. We engage in multiple efforts to protect our software platforms against
these challenges, including regularly testing our systems to address potential vulnerabilities.
Our
product and technology organization is responsible for the design, development, testing, and delivery of new software, technologies,
and features of our products and services, as well as the continued improvement and iteration of our existing products and services.
Our technology employees are distributed globally in our Newark, Jerusalem, Guatemala, Warsaw, and Minsk offices. Our technology team
consists of our software engineering, voice engineering, quality engineering, data warehousing, ML (Machine Learning) and AI development,
data engineering, systems, NOC (Network Operations Center), and operations teams. We intend to continue to invest in our research and
development capabilities to extend our products and services.
| 15 | |
Our
technology organization uses several key performance indicators to track service quality that meet or exceed industry standards for SaaS
and technology enabled services. Our technology organization maintained an aggregate service uptime of approximately 99.995% in fiscal
2025. The software defect escape ratio, a measure of quality engineering for our flagship BOSS Revolution brand, was 3% in fiscal 2025,
meaning more than 97% of product defects were detected and fixed internally before being released to our customers. Furthermore, this
high level of quality was achieved utilizing suites of proprietary tests of which the majority are fully automated by a combination of
proprietary software and technologies provided by third parties.
Our
product offerings and go-to-market strategy continue to evolve, and we expect our product offerings to continue to become available to
customers at more frequent intervals than our historical release cycles. Our Agile development methodology is characterized by a dynamic
development process with more frequent revisions to a product releases features and functions as the software is being developed.
In addition, we have implemented a holistic portfolio management process, which has improved transparency and efficiency across the portfolio
through a recurring cadence of business reviews.
REGULATION
The
following summary of regulatory developments and legislation is intended to describe what we believe to be the most important, but not
all, current and proposed international, federal, state, and local laws, regulations, orders, and legislation that are likely to materially
affect us.
Regulation
of Telecom in the United States
Telecommunications
services are subject to extensive government regulation at both the federal and state levels in the United States. Any violations of
the regulations may subject us to enforcement actions, including interest and penalties. The Federal Communications Commission, or FCC,
has jurisdiction over all telecommunications common carriers to the extent they provide interstate or international communications
services, including the use of local networks to originate or terminate such services. Each state regulatory commission has jurisdiction
over the same carriers with respect to their provision of local and intrastate communications services. Local governments often indirectly
regulate aspects of our communications business by imposing zoning requirements, taxes, permit or right-of-way procedures or franchise
fees. Significant changes to the applicable laws or regulations imposed by any of these regulators could have a material adverse effect
on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Regulation
of Telecom by the Federal Communications Commission
In
1997, the FCC issued an order, referred to as the Universal Service Order, that requires all telecommunications carriers providing interstate
telecommunications services to contribute to universal service support programs administered by the FCC (known as the Universal Service
Fund). In addition, beginning in October 2006, interconnected VoIP providers, such as our subsidiary net2phone, are required to contribute
to the Universal Service Fund. These periodic contributions are currently assessed based on a percentage of each contributors
interstate and international end user telecommunications revenues reported to the FCC. We also contribute to several other regulatory
funds and programs, most notably Telecommunications Relay Service, or TRS, FCC Regulatory Fees, and Local Number Portability (collectively,
the Other Funds). We and most of our competitors pass through Universal Service Fund and Other Funds contributions as part of the price
of our services, either as part of the base rate or, to the extent allowed, as a separate surcharge on customer bills. Due to the manner
in which these contributions are calculated, we cannot be assured that we fully recover from our customers all of our contributions.
In addition, based on the nature of our current business, we receive certain exemptions from Universal Service Fund contributions. Changes
in our business could eliminate our ability to qualify for some or all of these exemptions. As a result, our ability to pursue certain
new business opportunities in the future may be constrained in order to maintain these exemptions, the elimination of which could materially
affect the rates we would need to charge for existing services. Changes in regulation may also have an impact on the availability of
some or all of these exemptions. If even some of these exemptions become unavailable, they could materially increase our Universal Service
Fund or Other Funds contributions and have a material adverse effect on the cost of our operations and, therefore, on our ability
to continue to operate profitably, and to develop and grow our business. We cannot be certain of the stability of the contribution factors
for the Other Funds. Significant increases in the contribution factor for the Other Funds in general and the TRS Fund in particular can
impact our profitability. Whether these contribution factors will be stable in the future is unknown, but it is possible that we will
be subject to significant increases.
Regulation
of Telecom by State Public Utility Commissions
Our
telecommunications services that originate and terminate within the same state, including both local and in-state long distance services
are subject to the jurisdiction of that states public utility commission, or PUC. The Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
generally pre-empts state statutes and regulations that prevent the provision of competitive services but permits state PUCs to regulate
the rates, terms and conditions of intrastate services, so long as such regulation is not inconsistent with the requirements of federal
law. We are certified to provide facilities-based and/or resold long-distance service in all 50 states and facilities-based and resold
local exchange service in 45 states. In addition to requiring certification, state regulatory authorities may impose tariff and filing
requirements, consumer protection measures, and obligations to contribute to the Universal Service Fund and Other Funds. Rates for intrastate
switched access services, which we both pay to local exchange companies and collect from long-distance companies for terminating in-state
toll calls, are subject to the jurisdiction of the state commissions. State commissions also have jurisdiction to approve negotiated
rates, or establish rates through arbitration, for interconnection, including rates for unbundled network elements. Changes in those
access charges or rates for unbundled network elements could have a substantial and material impact on our business.
| 16 | |
Regulation
of TelecomInternational
In
connection with our international operations, we have obtained licenses or are otherwise authorized to provide telecommunications services
in various foreign countries. We have obtained licenses or authorizations in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark,
Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Peru, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom,
and Uruguay. In numerous countries where we operate or plan to operate, we are subject to many local laws and regulations that, among
other things, may restrict or limit the ability of telecommunications companies to provide telecommunications services in competition
with state-owned or state-sanctioned dominant carriers.
Regulation
of Internet Telephony
The
use of the Internet and private IP networks to provide voice communications services is generally less regulated than traditional switch-based
telephony within the United States and abroad and, in many markets, is not subject to the imposition of certain taxes and fees that increase
our costs. As a result, we are able, in many markets, to offer VoIP communications services at rates that are more attractive than those
applicable to traditional telephone services. However, in the U.S. and abroad, there have been efforts by legislatures and regulators
to harmonize the regulatory structures between traditional switch-based telephony and VoIP. This could result in additional fees, charges,
taxes, and regulations on IP communications services that could materially increase our costs and may limit or eliminate our competitive
pricing advantages. Additionally, several foreign governments have adopted laws and/or regulations that could restrict or prohibit the
provision of voice communications services over the Internet or private IP networks. These efforts could likewise harm our ability to
offer VoIP communications services.
Money
Transmitter and Payment Instrument Laws and Regulations
Our
consumer payment services offerings include BOSS Money and various network branded, also called open loop, prepaid card
offerings. These industries are heavily regulated. Accordingly, we, and the products and services that we market in consumer payment
services, are subject to a variety of federal and state laws and regulations, including:
| 
| 
| 
Banking laws and regulations; | |
| 
| 
| 
Money transmitter and payment
instrument laws and regulations; | |
| 
| 
| 
Anti-money laundering laws; | |
| 
| 
| 
Privacy and data security
laws and regulations; | |
| 
| 
| 
Consumer protection laws
and regulations; | |
| 
| 
| 
Unclaimed property laws;
and | |
| 
| 
| 
Card association and network
organization rules. | |
In
connection with the development of our money transmission services and the expansion of our network branded prepaid card offerings, we
have actively pursued our own money transmitter licenses. At July 31, 2025, we had received a money transmitter license in 48 of the
49 U.S. states that require such a license, as well as in Washington, D.C.
Regulation
of Other Businesses
We
operate other smaller or early-stage initiatives and operations, which may be subject to federal, state, local or foreign law and regulation.
INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY
We
own numerous patents, trademarks, domain names and other intellectual property rights necessary to conduct our business. We actively
pursue the filing and registration of patents, domain names, trademarks, and service marks to protect our intellectual property rights
within the United States and abroad; in particular our registered trademarks and brands: IDT, BOSS Revolution, BOSS Money,
net2phone and zendit. From time to time, we have also acquired or licensed intellectual property relating to present and future
business strategy. We believe that our technological position significantly depends on the technical experience, expertise, and creative
ability of our employees to maintain both our current businesses and pursue future business development. Our corporate policies require
all employees to assign intellectual property rights developed in the scope of, or in relation to our business to us, and to protect
all intellectual property and proprietary information and materials as confidential.
Our
global telecommunications switching and transmission infrastructure enables us to provide an array of telecommunications, internet access
and internet telephony services to our customers worldwide. We rely upon domestic and foreign patents, patent applications, and other
intellectual property rights, regarding our infrastructure and global telecommunication network for our international telecommunications
traffic and the international traffic of other telecommunications companies.
| 17 | |
EMPLOYEES
AND HUMAN CAPITAL RESOURCES
Attracting
and retaining qualified personnel familiar with our businesses and who lead our different business units and functions is critical to
our success. As of September 1, 2025, we had a total of 1,925 employees, of which 1,915 were full-time employees.
Our
human capital resources objectives include, as applicable, identifying, recruiting, retaining, incentivizing, and integrating
our existing and new employees, advisors and consultants. To accomplish that, our compensation practices are designed to attract and
retain qualified and motivated personnel and align their interests with our goals and with the best interests of our stockholders. Our
compensation philosophy is to provide compensation to attract the individuals necessary for our current needs and growth initiatives
and provide them with the proper incentives to motivate those individuals to achieve our long-term plans, which includes among other
things, equity and cash incentive plans that attract, retain and reward personnel through the granting of stock-based and cash-based
compensation awards.
We
believe that talent attraction and retention are critical to our ability to achieve our strategy and that a trained, diverse and inspired
workforce is integral to delivering our objectives. Our recruiting process reaches a wide array of potential employees, and we employ
a rigorous screening process to ensure that we identify and hire quality professionals.
We
are committed to a policy of non-discriminatory treatment and respect of human rights for all current and prospective employees. We do
not permit discrimination based on an individuals race, religion, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status,
disability, national origin or veterans status, which is illegal in many jurisdictions. We respect the human rights of all employees
and strive to treat them with dignity consistent with standards and practices recognized by the international community.

Risks
Related to Our Businesses and Operations
Errors
in our technology or technological issues outside our control could cause delays or interruptions to our customers.
Our
services can be disrupted by issues with our networks, platforms, technology, and systems, including malfunctions in our servers, processors,
software or facilities. In addition, there may be service interruptions for reasons outside of our control. Our customers and potential
customers subscribing to our services have experienced such interruptions in the past and may experience such interruptions in the future
because of these types of problems or others which may or may not be in our control. Such interruptions may cause us to lose customers
and/or offer customer credits, which could adversely affect our revenue and profitability. Network and telecommunication interruptions
may also impair our ability to sign-up new customers.
Cyberattacks
impacting our networks or systems could have an adverse effect on our business.
Cyberattacks,
including the use of malware, ransomware, computer viruses, denial of services attacks, credential harvesting, social engineering and
other means for obtaining unauthorized access to or disrupting the operation of our networks and systems and those of our suppliers,
vendors and other service providers, could have an adverse effect on our business. Cyberattacks may cause equipment failures, loss of
information (including sensitive personal information of customers or employees or valuable technical and marketing information), or
disruptions to our or our customers operations. Furthermore, ransomware could potentially deny the use of our systems until a
ransom is paid. Cyberattacks against companies, including us, have increased in frequency, scope, and potential harm in recent years.
They may occur alone or in conjunction with physical attacks, especially where disruption of service is an objective of the attacker.
The development and maintenance of systems to prevent such attacks is costly and requires ongoing monitoring and updating to address
their increasing prevalence and sophistication. While, to date, we have not been subject to cyberattacks that, individually or in the
aggregate, have been material to our operations or financial condition, the preventive actions we take to reduce the risks associated
with cyberattacks, including protection of our systems and networks, may be insufficient to repel or mitigate the effects of a cyberattack
in the future.
The
inability to operate or use our networks and systems or those of our suppliers, vendors, and other service providers because of cyberattacks,
even for a limited period of time, may result in significant expenses to us and/or a loss of revenue and market share. The costs associated
with a major cyberattack on us could include expensive incentives offered to existing customers and business partners to retain their
business, increased expenditures on cybersecurity measures and the use of alternate resources, lost revenues from business interruption,
and litigation. Further, certain of our businesses, such as those offering cloud services to business customers, could be negatively
affected if our ability to protect our own networks and systems is called into question because of a cyberattack. In addition, a compromise
of security or a theft or other compromise of valuable information, such as financial data and sensitive or private personal information,
could result in lawsuits and government claims, investigations, or proceedings. Any of these occurrences could damage our reputation,
adversely impact customer and investor confidence and result in a material adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition.
Changes
to immigrant populations could negatively impact certain of our businesses.
Certain
of our businesses, particularly Boss Money Boss Revolution and IDT Digital Payments, rely in large part on immigrant communities
in the United States and elsewhere. Migration of immigrants and their spending patterns are affected by (among other factors) overall
economic conditions, the availability of job opportunities, changes in immigration laws and their enforcement, including the potential
for large scale deportations, restrictions on immigration and travel, and political or other events (such as civil unrest, war, terrorism,
natural disasters, or public health emergencies or epidemics) that would make it more difficult for workers to migrate or work outside
of the their countries of origin. Changes to these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results
of operations, and cash flows.
We
could be harmed by network disruptions, security breaches, or other significant disruptions or failures of our IT infrastructure and
related systems or of those we operate for certain of our customers.
To
be successful, we need to continue to have available, for our and our customers use, a high capacity, reliable and secure network.
We face the risk, as does any company, of a security breach, whether through cyberattack, malware, computer viruses, sabotage, or other
significant disruption of our IT infrastructure. As such, there is a risk of a security breach or disruption of the systems we operate,
including possible unauthorized access to our and our customers proprietary or classified information. We are also subject to
breaches of our respective networks resulting in unauthorized utilization of our services or products, which subject us to the costs
of providing those products or services, which are likely not recoverable. The secure maintenance and transmission of our and our customers
information is a critical element of our operations. Our information technology and other systems that maintain and transmit customer
information, or those of service providers or business partners, may be compromised by a malicious third-party penetration of our network
security, or that of a third-party service provider or business partner, or impacted by advertent or inadvertent actions or inactions
by our employees, or those of a third-party service provider or business partner. As a result, our or our customers information
may be lost, disclosed, accessed, or taken without our or our customers consent, or our product and service may be used without
payment.
| 20 | |
Although
we make significant efforts to maintain the security and integrity of these types of information and systems, there can be no assurance
that our respective security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful
or damaging, especially in light of the growing sophistication of cyberattacks and intrusions sponsored by state or other interests.
We may be unable to anticipate all potential types of attacks or intrusions or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative
measures. Certain of our business units have been the subject of attempted and successful cyberattacks in the past. We have researched
these situations and do not believe any material internal, or customer information has been compromised.
Network
disruptions, security breaches and other significant failures of the above-described systems could (i) disrupt the proper functioning
of our networks and systems and therefore our operations or those of certain of our customers; (ii) result in the unauthorized use of
our services or products without payment; (iii) result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation
or release of proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information of ours or our customers, including trade secrets,
which others could use to compete against us or for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes; and (iv) require
significant management attention or financial resources to remedy the damages that result or to change our systems and processes. We
could be subject to claims for contract breach, damages, credits, fines, penalties, termination, or other remedies from our customers,
and subject to additional scrutiny or litigation by regulators, as a result of network disruptions, security breaches and other significant
failures of the above-described systems, any or all of which could result in a loss of business, damage to our reputation among our customers
and the public generally and have a negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
If
technology that drives one or more of our products fails, or is perceived to fail, or if there are technical defects, our reputation
could be harmed, our market share may decline, and we could be subject to various liability claims.
The
technology that drives and supports our products may contain undetected errors or defects that may result in failures or otherwise cause
our products to fail to perform in accordance with customer expectations and contractual obligations. Moreover, our customers could incorrectly
implement or inadvertently misuse our products, which could result in customer dissatisfaction and harm the perceived utility of our
products and our brand. Because our customers use our products for mission-critical aspects of their business, any real or perceived
errors or defects in, or other performance problems with, our products may damage our customers businesses and could significantly
harm our reputation. If that occurs, we could lose future sales, or our existing customers could cancel our services, seek payment credits,
seek damages against us, or delay or withhold payment to us, which could result in service credits that reduce our revenues, an increase
in collection cycles for accounts receivable, an increase in our provision for uncollectible accounts, and ultimately harm our financial
results. Product performance problems could result in loss of market share, reputational harm, failure to achieve market acceptance and
the diversion of development resources.
In
addition, since telecommunications billing and associated telecom taxes, and the related calculations and billing of telecom taxes, are
inherently complex and require highly sophisticated information systems to administer, our billing system may experience errors or we
may improperly operate the system, which could result in the system incorrectly calculating the fees owed by our customers or related
taxes and administrative fees. Customers also may make indemnification or warranty claims against us, which could result in significant
expense and risk of litigation.
Any
product liability, intellectual property, warranty, or other claims against us could damage our reputation and relationships with our
customers and could require us to spend significant time and money in litigation or pay significant settlements or damages. Although
we maintain general liability insurance, including coverage for errors and omissions, this coverage may not be sufficient to cover liabilities
resulting from such claims. Also, our insurers may disclaim coverage. Our liability insurance also may not continue to be available to
us on reasonable terms, in sufficient amounts, or at all. Any contract or product liability claims successfully brought against us would
harm our business.
Failure
in our data centers or services could lead to significant costs and disruptions.
All
data centers, including ours, are subject to various points of failure. Problems with cooling equipment, generators, uninterruptible
power supply, routers, switches, or other equipment, whether or not within our control, could result in service interruptions for our
customers as well as equipment damage. Any failure or downtime could affect a significant percentage of our customers. The destruction
or severe impairment of our data center facilities could result in significant downtime of our services and the loss of customer data.
| 21 | |
Our
ability to provide cloud-based communication services is dependent upon our physical and cloud-based infrastructure. While most of our
physical equipment required for providing these services is redundant in nature, certain types of failures or malfunctioning of critical
hardware/software equipment, including but not limited to fire, water or other physical damage may impact our ability to deliver continuous
service to our customers. Acts of God or terrorism or vandalism or negligence or gross negligence of person(s) currently or formerly
associated with us including failure to properly update and maintain infrastructure may result in loss of revenue, profitability, and
failure to retain and acquire new customers.
Our
ability to recover from disasters or failures, if and when they occur, is paramount to offering continued service to our existing customers.
We maintain telecommunications points of presence in Brazil, Canada, and Spain. These network footprints do not guarantee continued reliability
if a catastrophic event occurs. Despite implementation of network security measures, our servers may be vulnerable to computer viruses,
break-ins, and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems including, but not limited to, denial of service
attacks. In addition, if there is a breach or alleged breach of security or privacy involving our services, including but not limited
to data loss, or if any third party undertakes illegal or harmful actions using our communications or e-commerce services, our business
and reputation could suffer substantial adverse publicity and impairment. We have experienced interruptions in service in the past. We
have taken and continue to take steps to improve our infrastructure to prevent service interruptions.
In
addition to our physical infrastructure, we have a cloud infrastructure deployment with Amazon Web Services, or AWS, and Google Cloud
that supplements and extends our physical infrastructure. We utilize AWS and Google Clouds high availability configurations
using multiple availability zones and, in some cases, we have services deployed in multiple AWS regions. However, we do not have cross
region redundancy, which means we cannot guarantee continued reliability if AWS or Google Cloud suffers a catastrophic event which disrupts
a region in which we have our services deployed. If there were a failure to respond quickly to problems, or such a catastrophic event
were to occur, our customers may experience service interruptions, and we may suffer customer losses.
Our
revenues and profits will suffer if our distributors and sales representatives fail to effectively market and distribute our products
and services.
We
rely on our distributors and representatives to market and distribute our BOSS products and services and NRS POS terminals and
portfolio of services. We utilize a network of several hundred sub-distributors that sell our BOSS products and services to retail outlets
throughout most of the United States. NRS POS terminal sales and marketing efforts are targeted, in part, to our nationwide network
of BOSS Revolution retailers. If our distributors or sales representatives fail to effectively market or distribute our products and
services, our ability to generate revenues and profits and grow our customer base for these products and services could be substantially
impaired.
Our
global operations subjects us to geopolitical and other risks that may harm our results of operations and financial condition.
We
have developers, product development personnel, other employees and senior management in different countries, and some business activities
may be concentrated in one or more geographic areas. As a result, our ability to design, develop or sell products and services may be
affected by:
| 
| 
| 
geopolitical concerns, such
as armed conflict and civil or military unrest, crime, political instability, and terrorist activity; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
natural disasters and health
concerns; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
inefficient and limited infrastructure
and disruptions, such as supply chain interruptions and large-scale outages or interruptions of service from utilities, transportation,
or telecommunications providers; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
restrictions on our operations
by governments seeking to support local industries, nationalization of our operations, and restrictions on our ability to repatriate
earnings; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
differing employment practices
and labor issues; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
local business and cultural
factors that differ from our normal standards and practices, including business practices that we are prohibited from engaging in by
the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and other anti-corruption laws and regulations. | |
Legal
and regulatory requirements differ among jurisdictions worldwide. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in fines; criminal
sanctions against us, our officers, or our employees; prohibitions on the conduct of our business; and damage to our reputation. Although
we have policies, controls, and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these laws, our employees, contractors, or agents may violate
our policies.
| 22 | |
Our
global operations subject us to additional risks which could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial
condition.
We
have attempted to control our operating expenses by operating in foreign countries such as Poland, Belarus, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Georgia,
Dominican Republic and Israel and we may in the future expand our reliance on offshore labor to other countries. Our employees in Poland,
Belarus, Georgia and Israel primarily help develop, test, and maintain certain of our technology. Our labor source in Guatemala, Costa
Rica and the Dominican Republic primarily perform certain call center, administrative, operational and customer acquisition functions.
We also have significant operations in Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina as a result of net2phones growth.
Countries
outside of the United States may be subject to relatively higher degrees of political and social instability and may lack the infrastructure
to withstand political unrest or natural disasters. The occurrence of natural disasters, pandemics such as COVID-19, or political or
economic instability in these countries could interfere with work performed by these labor sources or could result in our having to replace
or reduce these labor sources. If countries in which we operate experience civil or political unrest or acts of terrorism, especially
when such unrest leads to an unseating of the established government, our operations in such countries could be materially impaired.
Our vendors in other countries could potentially shut down suddenly for any reason, including financial problems or personnel issues.
Such disruptions could decrease efficiency, increase our costs, and have an adverse effect on our business or results of operations.
The
practice of utilizing labor based in foreign countries has come under increased scrutiny in the United States. Governmental authorities
could seek to impose financial costs or restrictions on foreign companies providing services to customers or companies in the United
States. Governmental authorities may attempt to prohibit or otherwise discourage us from sourcing services from offshore labor.
The
FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations prohibit certain types of payments by our employees, vendors, and agents.
Any violation of the applicable anti-corruption laws or regulations by us, our subsidiaries or our local agents could expose us to significant
penalties, fines, settlements, costs, and consent orders that may curtail or restrict our business as it is currently conducted and could
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Weakness
of the United States dollar in relation to the currencies used in these foreign countries may also reduce the savings achievable through
this strategy and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our
technology and development(T&D) may be adversely affected by ongoing developments in Belarus and Ukraine.
We
have a significant number of T&D personnel in Belarus. Belarus shares borders with both Russia and Ukraine. In February 2022, Russian
military personnel stationed in Belarus were part of an invasion force by Russian forces into Ukraine. In response to the support and
facilitation by Belarus for the invasion, the United States, the European Union, or EU, and various other nations imposed sanctions against
multiple individuals and entities in Belarus. Other potential retaliatory measures could be taken by the United States and other countries,
particularly if Belarus were to take a more active role in the conflict. While we continue to monitor the situation in Belarus closely,
any prolonged or expanded unrest, military activities, or sanctions could have an adverse effect on our product roadmap and T&D.
We cannot predict whether additional sanctions or other measures will be imposed, or the nature of severity of those measures, and whether
they will directly or indirectly impact our T&D in Belarus or elsewhere.
Further,
our Belarussian T&D personnel could be impacted by retaliatory actions taken by third parties related to actual or perceived Belarussian
actions in support of the invasion, including cyberattacks.
Should
the military conflict expand to Belarus, our operations there could likely be impacted, including due to availability of personnel, electrical
outages, cyberattacks, and actual battles in areas where we have personnel.
Any
of the foregoing could have an adverse impact on our ability to develop technology, including corrections or enhancements of existing
platforms supporting our current products and services or development of new or complementary offerings.
| 23 | |
Global
and regional economic conditions could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and growth.
We
have international operations with revenues outside the United States representing a significant amount of our total revenues. As a result,
our operations and performance depend significantly on global and regional economic conditions. Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including
inflation, slower growth, or recession, new or increased tariffs or excise taxes and other barriers to trade, changes to fiscal and monetary
policy, tighter credit, higher interest rates, high unemployment, and currency fluctuations could materially adversely affect demand
for our products and services. In addition, consumer confidence and spending could be adversely affected in response to financial market
volatility, negative financial news, conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets, declines in income or asset values, changes
to fuel and other energy costs, labor and healthcare costs, and other economic factors.
Our
financial performance is subject to risks associated with changes in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies.
Our
primary exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates relates to nonU.S. dollardenominated revenues and operating
expenses. The strengthening of foreign currencies may increase our costs denominated in those currencies, thus adversely affecting our
earnings. The weakening of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar adversely affects the U.S. dollar value of our foreign currencydenominated
revenues and earnings and could lead us to raise international pricing, potentially reducing demand for our products and services. In
some circumstances, for competitive or other reasons, we may decide not to raise international pricing to offset the U.S. dollars
strengthening, which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of our foreign currencydenominated revenue and earnings.
We
depend upon industry standard protocols and third-party software, including but not limited to open-source software.
We
rely on non-proprietary third-party software, some of which may be open source. We may be subject to additional royalties, license or
trademark infringement costs or other unknown costs when one or more of these third-party technologies are affected or need to be replaced
due to end-of-support or end-of-sale of such third parties.
Certain
functions related to our business depend on a single supplier or small group of suppliers to carry out our business, and the inability
to do business with some or all of these suppliers could have a materially adverse effect on our business and financial results.
If
the services of any of the single suppliers or small group of suppliers, including, without limitation, software from third-party service
providers used in certain of our products and services, that we depend on were unavailable, or available only in decreased capacity or
at less advantageous terms, this could result in interruptions to our ability to provide certain services, could cause reduction in service
and/or quality as the function is transitioned to an alternate provider, if an alternate provider is available, or could increase our
cost, which in the current competitive environment, we may not be able to pass along to customers. Accordingly, any of these events could
materially and negatively impact our business, our revenues, our profits, and our relationships with customers.
Our
success depends in part upon our ability to provide customer service that effectively supports the needs of our customers.
Providing
customer service effectively requires that our customer support personnel have industry-specific technical knowledge and expertise. Our
support personnel require extensive training on our products and services, which may make it difficult to scale up our support operations
rapidly or effectively. The importance of high-quality customer support will increase as we expand our business and pursue new customers.
If we do not help our customers quickly resolve post-implementation issues and provide effective ongoing support, our ability to sell
additional features and services to existing customers will suffer and our reputation may be harmed.
Changes
to rates by our suppliers and increasing regulatory charges, tariffs or excise taxes may require us to raise prices, which could adversely
affect our financial result and business.
Our
upstream carriers, suppliers and vendors may increase their prices thus directly impacting our direct cost of revenues, which would affect
our earnings. Future changes in tariffs by regulatory agencies or application of tariff requirements to currently un-tariffed products
or services could affect the price and sales of our products for a certain set of customers. Changes in our underlying direct costs of
revenues may cause us to increase the rates we charge our customers, which could make us less competitive and impact our sales and retention
of existing customers. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act imposed a one percent excise tax on certain remittance transfers
that will take effect for transfers made after December 31, 2025. The imposition of these or similar excise taxes could adversely affect
our business and financial condition.
| 24 | |
Our
customers, particularly our IDT Global customers, could experience financial difficulties, which could adversely affect our revenues
and profitability if we experience difficulties in collecting our receivables.
As
a provider of international long-distance services, we depend upon sales of transmission and termination of traffic to other long-distance
providers and the collection of receivables from these customers. The wholesale telecommunications market continues to feature many smaller,
less financially stable companies. If weakness in the telecommunications industry or the global economy reduces our ability to collect
our accounts receivable from our major customers, particularly our wholesale customers, our profitability may be substantially reduced.
While our most significant customers, from a revenue perspective, vary from quarter to quarter, our five largest IDT Global customers
collectively accounted for 4.2% and 4.7% of our total revenues in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively. Our IDT Global customers
with the five largest receivables balances collectively accounted for 8.0% and 1.6% of our total gross trade accounts receivable on July
31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. This concentration of revenues and receivables increases our exposure to non-payment by our larger
customers, and we may experience significant write-offs if any of our large customers fail to pay their outstanding balances, which could
adversely affect our cash flow and profitability.
We
rely on highly skilled personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel, hire qualified personnel, or maintain our
corporate culture, we may not be able to grow effectively.
We
believe that our corporate culture fosters innovation, creativity, and teamwork. Our performance largely depends on the talents and efforts
of highly skilled individuals. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate, and retain
highly skilled personnel for all areas of our organization, in particular our technology and software engineering organization. Competition
for qualified technology and engineering employees is intense, and our compensation arrangements may not always be successful in attracting
new employees and retaining and motivating our existing employees. Our continued ability to compete effectively depends on our ability
to attract new employees and to retain and motivate our existing employees.
New
and existing technologies could affect our ability to track the results of ads and/or could block ads online, which would harm our business.
A
significant portion of our revenues are derived from customers acquired in connection with the display of advertisements online. Technologies
have been developed to make tracking the results of our online advertisements more difficult or to block the display of advertisements
altogether and some providers of online services have integrated technologies that could potentially impair the core functionality of
third-party digital advertising. As a result, such technologies and tools could adversely affect our operating results.
Risks
Related to Our NRS Business
Substantial
and increasingly intense competition in the POS industry may harm NRS business.
NRS
competes in the POS market that is characterized by vigorous competition, changing technology, evolving industry standards, changing
customer needs, and frequent introductions of new products and services. We expect competition to intensify in the future as existing
and new competitors introduce new services or enhance existing services. NRS competes against many companies to attract customers, and
some of these companies have greater financial resources and substantially larger bases of customers than NRS does, which may provide
them with significant competitive advantages. These companies may devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and sale of
products and services, may achieve economies of scale due to the size of their customer bases, and may more effectively introduce their
own innovative products and services that adversely impacts NRS growth. If some or all of NRS competitors focus additional
resources on NRS target markets, NRS growth may slow, or we may lose customers due to the competition.
NRS
may also face pricing pressures from competitors, which may result in the need for NRS to alter the pricing that it offers and could
reduce our profitability.
If
NRS fails to increase advertising on its platform, our business could be adversely affected.
NRS
strategy includes increasing its revenues from brand advertising. Brands may not do business with NRS or may reduce the amounts they
are willing to spend to advertise if NRS does not deliver ads, and other commercial content and marketing programs in an effective manner,
or if they do not believe that their investment in advertising with NRS will generate a competitive return relative to other alternatives.
NRS ability to increase the number of brands that use its brand advertising, and ultimately to generate advertising and marketing
services revenues, depends on several factors, many of which are outside of our control. If NRS fails to increase advertising on its
platform, our business could be adversely affected.
| 25 | |
The
long-term success of NRS depends on its ability to develop products and services to address the rapidly evolving market for POS products
and services, and, if it cannot implement successful enhancements and new features for its products and services, our business could
be materially and adversely affected.
NRS
success will depend, in part, on its ability to develop new technologies and to adapt to technological changes and evolving industry
standards. New services and technologies may be superior to, impair, or render obsolete the POS products and services that NRS currently
offers or the technologies NRS currently uses to provide them. Incorporating new technologies into NRS POS products and services
may require substantial expenditures and take considerable time, and NRS may not be successful in realizing a return on these development
efforts in a timely manner or at all. NRS ability to develop new products and services may be inhibited by industry-wide standards,
existing and future laws and regulations, resistance to change from its customers, or third parties intellectual property rights.
If NRS is unable to provide enhancements and new features for its products and services or to develop new products and services that
achieve market acceptance or that keep pace with rapid technological developments and evolving industry standards, our business would
be materially and adversely affected.
Risks
Related to Our BOSS Money Business
BOSS
Money and its retailers face a complex and dynamic regulatory landscape; changes in laws and regulations can impact business operations,
and non-compliance or failure to comply with laws can result in hefty fines, penalties, operational restrictions and reputational damage.
BOSS
Money and its retailers face a complex and dynamic regulatory landscape related to anti-money laundering (AML), know your customer (KYC),
consumer protection laws and data privacy. Changes in laws and regulations can impact business operations, and non-compliance or failure
to comply with laws can result in hefty fines, penalties, operational restrictions and reputational damage. For example, certain banks,
in an effort to comply with increasingly more challenging regulations, have gradually imposed stricter restrictions and limitations and
higher costs on money remittance retailers making deposits to bank accounts. This can negatively affect the business of the BOSS Money
retailers and, at times, disincentivize retailers from growing their BOSS Money business. As governments and regulatory bodies place
increasing emphasis on anti-money laundering, data privacy, consumer protection and financial transparency, BOSS Money and its retailers
may face rising costs to ensure compliance with, among others, customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, and consumer data privacy
protection and reporting, which can negatively affect, among other things, the ability of BOSS Money to maintain and grow its retailer
network.
BOSS
Money depends on a licensed network of agents for its retail money remittance business.
BOSS
Money depends on a licensed network of agents for its retail money remittance business. Maintaining good relationships with agents, ensuring
their compliance, and managing risks associated with their actions is critical but costly. Agents may not always act in BOSS Moneys
best interest, engaging in fraudulent activities, regulatory violations, or causing reputational damage. In addition, agents could affect
BOSS Moneys revenue and profitability due to non-payment of remittances collected or termination of the relationship.
BOSS
Money has financial and business exposure to fluctuations in the foreign exchange markets.
BOSS
Moneys international remittance business is subject to daily fluctuations in U.S. dollar exchange rates, resulting from devaluation
or appreciation of currencies, exchange rate volatility, or currency restrictions, which can materially impact revenue and profitability.
BOSS
Money can be vulnerable to illegal activities and fraud schemes.
BOSS
Moneys transfer services can be vulnerable to illegal activities and fraud schemes such as identity theft, account takeover, money
laundering, and terrorist financing. Failure to detect and mitigate these risks could lead to regulatory penalties, reputational harm
and significantly and adversely affect revenues and profitability.
BOSS
Moneys rapid growth can strain resources and internal controls which could potentially lead to, among other things, operational
inefficiencies, increased costs and reduced profitability.
BOSS
Money is experiencing rapid growth, which can strain resources and internal controls, carrying inherent risks and uncertainties when
scaling operations or entering new markets, potentially leading to operational inefficiencies, increased costs and reduced profitability.
BOSS Moneys growth depends on acquiring and retaining customers in a competitive market. BOSS Money invests significantly in marketing
to grow its customer base. Rising costs of customer acquisition, especially in competitive markets, could adversely affect profitability.
| 26 | |
The
rapid evolution of payment technologies and shifts in consumer preferences along with adoption of new technologies could disrupt the
money transfer industry.
The
rapid evolution of payment technologies and shifts in consumer preferences along with adoption of new technologies such as mobile wallets,
real-time payment systems and blockchain-based cryptocurrencies could disrupt the money transfer industry and require significant investments
to stay competitive. Failure to innovate, adopt new technologies, or keep pace with industry advancements can potentially lead to market
share and revenue declines. In addition, the inability to adapt to changing customer needs could significantly and negatively impact
business growth.
Disruptions
in mobile networks or changes in consumer preferences for mobile devices could impact our business.
BOSS
Money relies heavily on mobile technology. Any disruptions in mobile networks or changes in consumer preferences for mobile devices could
adversely impact our business. The BOSS Money and BOSS Revolution mobile apps are distributed through Apples App Store and Google
Play app store. Changes in app store policies or restrictions could negatively impact our ability to reach customers. BOSS Moneys
direct to consumer channel relies on the performance and uptime of its digital platform which means that failures in technology or software
could impact transaction flow, customer satisfaction and ultimately revenues.
BOSS
Money has less brand recognition than many of its competitors in the money remittance space which could make it harder to attract and
retain customers.
Compared
to its larger competitors such as Western Union, Moneygram, Ria, Intermex, Xoom, Wise and Remitly, BOSS Money has less brand recognition
in the money remittance space which could make it harder to attract and retain customers. BOSS Money leverages the brand value and trust
built by BOSS Revolution. The remittance industry is highly sensitive to consumer trust. As such, negative publicity, such as being associated
with poor service, fraud or money laundering, could significantly and negatively harm BOSS Moneys reputation, leading to a loss
of customers and revenue.
BOSS
Money relies on partnerships with global banks and payout agents to process transactions in its receiving markets.
BOSS
Money relies on partnerships with global banks and disbursement agents to process transactions in its receiving markets. If these partners
face operational, financial, or regulatory issues, it could severely and negatively impact the companys ability to conduct business.
BOSS Moneys success depends, in part, on reliable access to international banking systems and payment infrastructure. Disruptions
in these systems due to political or economic issues, or regulatory changes, could severely and negatively impact the companys
ability to provide services.
Risks
Related to Our net2phone Business
net2phones
VoIP or cloud-based communications service competes against established well financed alternative voice communication providers who may
provide comparable services at comparable or lower pricing or deploy new services that net2phone is unable to offer.
Pricing
in the telecommunications industry is very fluid and competitive. Price is often a substantial motivating factor in a customers
decision to switch to net2phones cloud-based communications products and services. net2phones competitors may reduce their
rates, which may require it to reduce its rates, which would affect our revenues and profitability, or otherwise make our pricing non-competitive.
net2phone may be at a disadvantage compared with those competitors who have substantially greater resources than us or may otherwise
be better positioned to withstand an extended period of downward pricing pressure.
Many
of net2phones current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater resources and brand awareness,
and a larger base of customers than net2phone has. As a result, these competitors may have greater credibility with net2phones
existing and potential customers. net2phones competitors may also offer bundled service arrangements that present a more differentiated
or better integrated product to customers. Certain of net2phones competitors that have more significant R&D capabilities may
develop or deploy new value-added services that net2phone is unable to offer. Announcements, or expectations, as to the introduction
of new products and technologies by net2phones competitors or net2phone could cause customers to defer purchases of net2phones
existing products, which also could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.
| 27 | |
net2phone
depends in part upon the capacity, reliability, and performance of several third-party providers and their network infrastructure, the
failure of which could cause delays or interruptions of net2phones service and impact our revenue and profitability.
net2phone
depends on several third-party providers to provide service to maintain its operations. net2phone does not have control over these providers,
and some of these providers are also its competitors. net2phone may be subject to interruptions or delays in their service and its reputation
and business may be harmed. The failure of any of these third party service providers to properly maintain services may result in negative
consequences to net2phone, including but not limited to: (i) a loss of customers, (ii) adverse impact on its reputation, (iii) negative
publicity, (iv) negative impact on its ability to acquire customers, (v) negative impact on its revenue and profitability, (vi) potential
law suits for not reaching emergency E-911 services, and (vii) potential law suits for loss of business and loss of reputation.
*Internet
Bandwidth Providers.* net2phones cloud-based communications service requires its customers to have an operative broadband Internet
connection and an electrical power supply, which are provided by the customers broadband Internet service provider and electric
utility company and not by net2phone. The quality of some broadband Internet connections may be too poor for customers to use net2phones
services properly. In addition, if there is any interruption to a customers broadband Internet service or electrical power supply,
that customer will be unable to make or receive calls, including emergency calls, using net2phones service. In addition, Internet
backbone providers may be able to block, degrade or charge for access to, or the bandwidth use of certain of net2phones products
and services which could have a negative effect on its services and could lead to additional expenses and the loss of users. Further,
customers who access net2phones mobile application (or future applications) through their smartphones must have a high-speed connection
to use its services. This access is provided by companies that have significant and increasing market power in the broadband and Internet
access marketplace and some of these providers offer products and services that directly compete with net2phones offerings, which
give them a significant competitive advantage.
*Tier
1 and non-Tier 1 Telecom suppliers for Telecom Origination and Termination Services.* net2phone depends on these companies to provide
telecom services, sourcing of DID, porting of numbers, and delivering telephone calls from and to endpoints and devices on our network.
If net2phone fails to maintain reliable connectivity or performance with its upstream carriers it could significantly reduce customer
demand for its services and damage its business.
*E-911
and other emergency service providers*. net2phone maintains an agreement with an E-911 provider to assist it in routing and terminating
emergency calls directly to an emergency service dispatcher at the public-safety answering point, or PSAP, in the customers registered
location. net2phone also contract with a provider for the national call center that operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week to receive
certain emergency calls and with several companies that maintain PSAP databases for the purpose of deploying and operating E-911 services.
The dispatcher will have automatic access to the customers telephone number and registered location information. If a customer
moves their service to a new location, the customers registered location information must be updated and verified by the customer.
Until that takes place, the customer will have to verbally advise the emergency dispatcher of his or her actual location at the time
of an E-911 call. This can lead to delays in the delivery of emergency services. Interruptions in service from these vendors could also
cause failures in net2phones customers access to E-911 services and expose it to liability.
*Local
number portability providers.* net2phone has agreements with companies that initiate its local number portability, which allows new
customers to retain their existing telephone numbers when subscribing to its services. net2phone needs to work with these companies to
properly port numbers. The failure to port numbers may cause net2phone to lose customers.
net2phone
faces risks from the outsourcing of the manufacturing of its desktop telephones (desktop devices).
net2phone
primarily sells Polycom, Yealink and Grandstream-branded desktop devices, although, it supports other third-party devices as well. These
desktop devices are being manufactured by vendors in China. Recent supply-chain challenges in China and global ramifications of supply-chain
difficulties, the U.S. trade war with China, including trade protection measures such as tariffs, and the effects of any new wave of
COVID-19 infections or another pandemic may cause disruptions in obtaining its desktop devices. This may increase pricing, slow delivery
times or may force net2phone to find other third-party manufacturers for its branded desktop devices.

net2phone
targets sales to small, mid-market and enterprise customers. Not properly managing these customers could negatively affect our business,
cash flow and operations.
A
substantial percentage of net2phones revenues comes from small and medium-sized businesses. These customers may be more adversely
affected by economic downturns than larger, more established businesses. The majority of net2phones customers pay for subscriptions
with credit cards. Weakness in certain segments of the credit markets in the U.S. and global economies may result in increased numbers
of rejected credit and debit card payments, which could negatively affect net2phones business. If small and medium-sized businesses
experience financial hardship because of a weakening economy, industry consolidation, or any other reason, the overall demand for net2phones
products and services could be materially and adversely affected.
Selling
to larger enterprise customers also contains inherent risks and uncertainties. The loss of a key customer or the failure of some to renew
or to continue to recommend net2phones products may have a material negative impact on its results. net2phone has a limited history
of selling its services to larger businesses and may experience challenges in configuring and providing ongoing support for the products
it sells to large customers. Larger customers networks are often more complex than those of smaller customers, and the configuration
of services for these customers usually requires customer assistance. There is no guarantee that the customer will make available to
net2phone the necessary personnel and other resources for a successful configuration of services. Lack of assistance from the customers
or lack of local resources may prevent net2phone from properly configuring its services for these customers, which can in turn adversely
impact the quality of services that it delivers over its customers networks, and/or may result in delays in the implementation
of its services and impact the quality and ability to continue to provide the services. This could also create a public perception that
net2phone is unable to deliver high quality service to its customers, which could harm its reputation. In addition to the foregoing,
larger customers tend to require higher levels of customer service and individual attention, which may increase net2phones costs
for implementing and delivering services.
If
net2phones existing customers terminate their subscriptions or reduce their subscriptions and related usage, its revenues and
earnings will be harmed, and we will be required to spend more money to grow net2phones customer base.
net2phone
expects to continue to derive a significant portion of its revenues from existing customers. As a result, retaining its existing customers
is critical to its future operating results. net2phone offers monthly, annual and multiple-year contracts to its customers, generally
with 30 days notice required for reductions in the number of seats. Increases in the number of seats can be provisioned almost
immediately.
Subscriptions
and related usage by existing customers may decrease if:
| 
| 
| 
customers are not satisfied
with the services, prices or the functionality of net2phones products; | |
| 
| 
| 
the stability, performance
or security of net2phones products are not satisfactory; | |
| 
| 
| 
the U.S. or global economy
declines; | |
| 
| 
| 
net2phones customers
business or demand for net2phones services declines due to industry cycles, seasonality, business difficulties or other reasons; | |
| 
| 
| 
customers favor products
offered by other providers, particularly as competition continues to increase; | |
| 
| 
| 
alternative technologies,
products or features emerge or gain popularity that net2phone does not provide; | |
| 
| 
| 
net2phones customers
or potential customers experience financial difficulties; or | |
| 
| 
| 
fewer customers purchase
services from net2phone. | |
If
net2phones 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. net2phone incurs significant
costs and expenses, including sales and marketing expenses, to acquire new customers, and those costs and expenses are an important factor
in determining our profitability. There can be no assurance that net2phones efforts to acquire new customers will be successful.
net2phone
must acquire new customers on an ongoing basis to maintain and increase its customers and revenues, and the significant costs to acquire
new customers may hinder profitability.
net2phone
has to acquire new customers to increase revenues. net2phone incurs significant costs to acquire new customers, and those costs are an
important factor in determining our profitability. Therefore, if net2phone is unsuccessful in retaining customers or is required to spend
significant amounts to acquire new customers, its revenue and or profits may decrease, which would negatively affect profitability. Sales
and marketing expenditures are an ongoing requirement of net2phones business as it strives to acquire more new customers.
| 29 | |
net2phones
customer churn rate may increase in future periods, which may adversely impact its revenue or require it to spend more money to grow
its customer base.
net2phones
customers generally have initial service periods of between two and three years and may discontinue their subscriptions for services
after the expiration of their initial subscription period. In addition, net2phones customers may renew for lower subscription
amounts or for shorter contract lengths. net2phone may not accurately predict cancellation rates for its customers. net2phones
cancellation rates may increase or fluctuate because of several factors, including customer needs, pricing changes, number of applications
used by its customers, customer satisfaction with its service, the acquisition of net2phones customers by other companies, and
deteriorating general economic conditions. If net2phones customers do not renew their subscriptions for its service or decrease
the amount they spend with net2phone, its revenue will decline, and our business will suffer.
net2phone
may not be able to scale its business efficiently or quickly enough to meet its customers growing needs, in which case our operating
results could be harmed.
As
usage of net2phones cloud-based communications services by mid-market and larger distributed enterprises expands and as customers
continue to integrate its services across their enterprises, net2phone is required to devote additional resources to improving its application
architecture, integrating net2phones products and applications across our technology platform as well as expanding integration
and performance. net2phone will need to appropriately scale its internal business systems and services organization, including its onboarding
and customer support services to serve a growing customer base. Any failure of or delay in these efforts could impair net2phones
systems performance and reduce customer satisfaction, which could result in decreased sales to new customers and lower renewal
rates by existing customers and eventually hurt net2phones revenue growth and its reputation. We cannot guarantee that the expansion
and improvements to our infrastructure and systems will be fully or effectively implemented on a timely basis, if at all, which failure
may reduce our revenue and earnings and adversely impact our financial results.
Risks
Related to Our Traditional Communications Segment
Each
of our BOSS Revolution and IDT Global businesses is highly sensitive to declining prices, which may adversely affect our revenues and
profitability.
The
worldwide telecommunications industry is characterized by intense price competition, which has resulted in declines in both our average
per-minute price realizations and our average per-minute termination costs. Many of our competitors continue to aggressively price their
services or offer them for free. The intense competition has led to continued erosion in our pricing power, in both our retail and wholesale
markets, and we have generally had to pass along all or some of the savings we achieve on our per-minute costs to our customers in the
form of lower prices. In the case of some international calling locations, indirect competitors, such as wireless carriers, may include
calls to those locations at no extra cost, which increases our risk of losing customers. Any price increase by either our BOSS Revolution
or IDT Global business may result in our prices becoming less attractive to customers, which may result in a reduction of revenue. If
these trends in pricing continue or accelerate, it could have a material adverse effect on the revenues generated by our BOSS Revolution
and IDT Global businesses and/or our profitability.
We
may not be able to obtain sufficient or cost-effective termination capacity to particular destinations, which could adversely affect
our revenues and profits.
Most
of our telecommunications traffic is terminated through third-party providers. To support our minutes of use demand and geographic
footprint, we may need to obtain additional termination capacity or destinations. We may not be able to obtain sufficient termination
capacity from high-quality carriers to particular destinations or may have to pay significant amounts to obtain such capacity. This could
result in our not being able to support our minutes of use demands or in higher cost-per-minute to particular destinations, which could
adversely affect our revenues and profits.
The
termination of our carrier agreements with partners or our inability to enter into carrier agreements in the future could materially
and adversely affect our ability to compete, which could reduce our revenues and profits.
We
rely upon our carrier agreements with partners to provide our telecommunications services to our customers. These carrier agreements
are for finite terms and, therefore, there can be no guarantee that these agreements will be renewed at all or on favorable terms to
us. Our ability to compete would be adversely affected if our carrier agreements were terminated or we were unable to enter into carrier
agreements in the future to provide our telecommunications services to our customers, which could result in a reduction of our revenues
and profits.
| 30 | |
Risk
Related to Our Financial Condition
We
hold cash, cash equivalents, debt securities and equity investments that are subject to various market risks.
At
July 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents, debt securities, and current equity investments of $260.4 million. Debt securities and
equity investments carry a degree of risk, as there can be no assurance that we can redeem them at any time and that our investment managers
will be able to accurately predict the course of price movements and, in general, the securities markets have in recent years been characterized
by great volatility and unpredictability. As a result of these different market risks, our holdings of cash, cash equivalents, debt securities,
and equity investments could be materially and adversely affected.
If
we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial
results, and current and potential stockholders may lose confidence in our financial reporting which could have a negative effect on
the trading price of our stock.
We
are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting that
provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We are likewise required, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the effectiveness
of our internal controls and to disclose any changes and material weaknesses in those internal controls. A material weakness is a deficiency,
or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We
cannot be certain that we will continue to maintain an effective system of internal control over our financial reporting in future periods.
Any failure to maintain such internal controls could adversely impact our ability to report our financial results on a timely and accurate
basis. If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations. Likewise, if
our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission and The New York Stock
Exchange, we could face severe consequences from those authorities. In either case, there could be a material adverse effect on our business.
Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative
effect on the trading price of our stock.
Intellectual
Property, Tax, Regulatory, and Litigation Risks
Changes
in national policy, governmental actions related to tariffs or international trade agreements, as well as shifts in social, political,
regulatory, and economic conditions or laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development, and investment in the regions
where we operate, can significantly impact our business. Such changes could lead to negative sentiments towards us, potentially depressing
economic activity or restricting access to suppliers or customers and thereby have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and outlook.
In
January 2025, the global tariff landscape began to quickly change with the United States implementing tariffs on goods from various foreign
countries, either generally or with respect to certain products, and certain of those foreign countries implementing rebalancing tariffs
on goods from the United States, either generally or with respect to certain products. In certain circumstances the United States and
certain foreign countries temporarily suspended tariffs they had recently implemented, either in whole or in part. Since then, the United
States has continued to impose tariffs on imported goods, and affected countries have often responded by imposing tariffs on U.S. goods.
In April 2025, the U.S. announced a baseline tariff of 10% on goods from all countries and instituted additional individualized reciprocal
tariffs for countries with which the United States has significant trade deficits. The United States continues to implement new, reinstated
or adjusted tariffs, and we expect that it will continue with this practice. Foreign countries subject to these U.S. tariffs continue
to implement new, reinstated or adjusted rebalancing tariffs, and we expect that foreign countries will continue with that practice.
The
U.S. tariffs and rebalancing tariffs that were recently enacted or that may be enacted have contributed to uncertainty about current
global economic conditions. Sustained uncertainty could result in a global economic slowdown and long-term changes to global trade. Such
changes could lead to negative sentiments towards us, potentially depressing economic activity or restricting access to suppliers or
customers and thereby have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and outlook.
| 31 | |
We
provide communications and payment services to consumers and are therefore subject to various federal and state laws and regulations.
As
a provider of communications and payment services to consumers, such as BOSS Revolution and BOSS Money, we are subject to various federal
and state laws and regulations relating to the way we advertise our services, describe and present the terms of our services, and communicate
with our customers and consumers in general. Compliance with these laws requires us to be constantly vigilant as they often vary from
state to state. Failure to comply with these laws could result in action being taken by federal and state agencies or offices responsible
for consumer protection, like the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations,
financial condition, revenues, and profits.
We
may be adversely affected if we fail to protect our proprietary technology.
We
depend on proprietary technology and other intellectual property rights in conducting our various business operations. We rely on a combination
of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secret protection, and contractual rights to establish and protect our proprietary rights.
Circumstances outside our control could pose a threat to our intellectual property rights. For example, effective intellectual property
protection may not be available in every country in which our products and services are distributed. Also, the efforts we have taken
to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective enough. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property
rights could harm our business or our ability to compete. Also, protecting our intellectual property rights is costly and time consuming.
Any increase in the unauthorized use of our intellectual property could make it more expensive to do business and harm our operating
results. Failure of our patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secret protection, non-disclosure agreements and other measures to
provide protection of our technology and our intellectual property rights could enable our competitors to compete with us more effectively
and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Rapid,
significant, and disruptive technological changes impact the industries in which we operate, and we expect new services and technologies
to continue to emerge and evolve. We cannot predict the effects of technological changes on our businesses. Developing and incorporating
new technologies into our products and services may require significant investment, take considerable time, and ultimately may not be
successful.
In
addition, we may be required to litigate in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to
determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Any
such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, or results of operations, and there can be no assurances that we will be successful in any such litigation.
We
may incur costs in complying with, or face exposure from the failure to comply with, laws, regulation or initiatives regarding greenhouse
gas emissions or reporting of our direct and indirect emissions.
Several
states have either passed (California) or are drafting (e.g. Washington, New York, Illinois, and Minnesota) what is being referred to
as sustainability legislation. This class of legislation generally requires companies generating certain levels in annual
revenue (either globally or in the relevant state) and who have a presence in the relevant state to report data on the impact of the
company on the environment, including as to direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions or other factors believed to impact climate.
Each company that meets the requirements will be required to report the data to a state regulator and may also be required to post the
data online. Significant monetary penalties may apply to companies that fail to report in a timely manner. We believe that we will be
required to report under the California legislation, and may also be subject to other states legislation, if passed. We are currently
evaluating the resources necessary to comply with the law. While, barring unforeseen circumstances, we anticipate meeting the requirements
in a timely manner, there can be no assurance that we will do so.
In
addition, many foreign jurisdictions have enacted laws and regulations mandating certain reporting related to direct and indirect greenhouse
gas emission by businesses operating in those areas. Our costs to comply with any legislation, regulations or initiatives may be significant
and we could be exposed to fines and penalties and other negative impacts on our businesses if we do not comply with the laws and regulations
that apply to us.
We
may be subject to claims of infringement of intellectual property rights of others, which could have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations, financial condition, revenues, and profits.
Companies
in the telecommunications industry and other industries in which we compete own large numbers of patents, copyrights and trademarks and
frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. As we face
increasing competition, the possibility of intellectual property claims against us grows. Although we do not believe that we infringe
upon the intellectual property rights of others, our technologies may not be able to withstand any third-party claims or rights against
their use. From time to time, we may be subject to claims and legal proceedings from third parties regarding alleged infringement by
us of trademarks, copyrights, patents, and other intellectual property rights. Such lawsuits can be expensive and time-consuming and
could distract us and our management from focusing on our businesses. Further, the loss of such lawsuits could result in financial burdens
and the requirement to modify our modes of operation, which could materially adversely affect our business.
| 32 | |
We
are subject to tax and regulatory audits which could result in the imposition of liabilities that may or may not have been reserved.
We
are subject to audits by taxing and regulatory authorities with respect to certain of our income and operations. These audits can cover
periods for several years prior to the date the audit is undertaken and could result in the imposition of liabilities, interest, and
penalties if our positions are not accepted by the auditing entity.
Our
2017 FCC Form 499-A, which reported our calendar year 2016 revenue was audited by the Universal Service Administrative Company, or USAC.
The USACs final decision imposed a $2.9 million charge on us for the Federal TRS Fund. We have appealed the USACs final
decision to the FCC and do not intend to remit payment for the TRS Fund fees unless and until a negative decision on our appeal has been
issued. We have made certain changes to our filing policies and procedures for years that remain potentially under audit. As of July
31, 2025, our accrued expenses included $21.1 million for FCC-related regulatory fees for the year covered by the audit, as well as prior
and subsequent years. If we do not properly calculate, or have not properly calculated, the amount payable by us to the FCC, we may be
subject to interest and penalties.
We
are subject to value added tax, or VAT, audits from time-to-time in various jurisdictions. In the conduct of such audits, we may be required
to disclose information of a sensitive nature and, in general, to modify the way we have conducted business with our distributors until
the present, which may affect our business in an adverse manner.
We
are also subject to audits in various jurisdictions for various other taxes, including utility excise tax, sales and use tax, communications
services tax, gross receipts tax, and property tax.
Our
business is subject to strict regulation under federal law regarding anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing. Failure to comply
with such laws, or abuse of our programs for purposes of money laundering or terrorist financing, could have a material adverse impact
on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
Provisions
of the USA PATRIOT Act, the Bank Secrecy Act and other federal laws impose substantial regulations on financial institutions that are
designed to prevent money laundering and the financing of terrorist organizations. Increasing regulatory scrutiny of our industry with
respect to money laundering and terrorist financing matters could result in more aggressive enforcement of these laws or the enactment
of more onerous regulation, which could have a material adverse impact on our business. In addition, abuse of our money transfer services
or prepaid card programs for purposes of money laundering or terrorist financing, notwithstanding our efforts to prevent such abuse through
our regulatory compliance and risk management programs, could cause reputational or other harm that would have a material adverse impact
on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
Our
business is subject to a wide range of laws and regulations intended to help detect and prevent illegal or illicit activity and our failure,
or the failure of one of our disbursement partners or payment processors to comply with those laws and regulations could harm our business,
financial condition, and operating results.
Our
BOSS Money and network branded prepaid card services are subject to a strict set of legal and regulatory requirements intended to help
detect and prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, and other illicit activity. The interpretation of those requirements
by judges, regulatory bodies and enforcement agencies is changing, often quickly and with little notice. Economic and trade sanctions
programs that are administered by the U.S. Treasury Departments Office of Foreign Assets Control prohibit or restrict transactions
to or from or dealings with specified countries, their governments, and in certain circumstances, with individuals and entities that
are specially designated nationals of those countries, narcotics traffickers and terrorists or terrorist organizations. As federal, state,
and foreign legislative regulatory scrutiny and enforcement action in these areas increase, we expect our costs to comply with these
requirements will increase, perhaps substantially. Failure to comply with any of these requirements by us, our regulated retailers or
our disbursement partners could result in the suspension or revocation of a money transmitter license, the limitation, suspension or
termination of our services, the seizure and/or forfeiture of our assets and/or the imposition of civil and criminal penalties, including
fines.
| 33 | |
Furthermore,
failure by us or our agents to comply with applicable laws and regulations could also result in termination of contracts with our banks
and/or merchant payment processors. Termination of services by one of our retail banks would seriously diminish our ability to collect
funds from our BOSS Revolution agents. Likewise, termination of services by our merchant processor would negatively impact our ability
to process payments in our digital channels.
The
foregoing laws and regulations are constantly evolving, unclear, and inconsistent across various jurisdictions, making compliance challenging.
If we fail to update our compliance system to reflect legislative or regulatory developments, we could incur penalties. New legislation,
changes in laws or regulations, implementing rules and regulations, litigation, court rulings, changes in industry practices or standards,
changes in systems rules or requirements or other similar events could expose us to increased compliance costs, liability, reputational
damage, and could reduce the market value of our BOSS Money and network branded prepaid card services or render them less profitable
or obsolete.
The
Dodd-Frank Act, as well as the regulations required by the Dodd-Frank Act and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau could harm us
and the scope of our activities, and could harm our operations, results of operations, and financial condition.
The
Dodd-Frank Act, which became law in the United States on July 21, 2010, enacted significant structural reforms and substantive regulation
across the financial services industry. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB, whose
purpose is to issue and enforce consumer protection initiatives governing financial products and services, including money transfer services.
We
may be subject to examination by the CFPB, which has broad authority to enforce consumer financial laws. The CFPB has a large budget
and staff and has broad authority with respect to our money transfer service and related business. It is authorized to collect fines
and provide consumer restitution in the event of violations, engage in consumer financial education, track consumer complaints, request
data, and promote the availability of financial services to underserved consumers and communities. In addition, the CFPB may adopt other
regulations governing consumer financial services, including regulations defining unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices, and
new model disclosures. The CFPBs authority to change regulations adopted in the past by other regulators, or to rescind or alter
past regulatory guidance, could increase our compliance costs and litigation exposure.
The
Dodd-Frank Act established a Financial Stability Oversight Council that is authorized to designate as systemically important
non-bank financial companies and payment systems. Companies designated under either standard will become subject to new regulation and
regulatory supervision. If we were designated under either standard, the additional regulatory and supervisory requirements could result
in costly new compliance burdens or may require changes in the way we conduct business that could harm our business, financial condition,
and operating results.
We
are subject to licensing and other requirements imposed by U.S. state regulators, and the U.S. federal government. If we were found to
be subject to or in violation of any laws or regulations governing money transmitters, we could lose our licenses, be subject to liability
or be forced to change our business practices, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Several
states and territories have enacted legislation regulating money transmitters, with 49 states requiring a license as of July 31, 2025.
At July 31, 2025, we had obtained licenses to operate as a money transmitter in 48 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. We are also registered
as money services businesses with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, or FinCEN. As a licensed
money transmitter, we are subject to bonding requirements, liquidity requirements, restrictions on our investment of customer funds,
reporting requirements, and inspection by state and foreign regulatory agencies. If we were found to be subject to and in violation of
any banking or money services laws or regulations, we could be subject to liability or additional restrictions, such as increased liquidity
requirements. In addition, our licenses could be revoked, or we could be forced to cease doing business or change our practices in certain
states or jurisdictions or be required to obtain additional licenses or regulatory approvals that could impose a substantial cost on
us. Regulators could also impose other regulatory orders and sanctions on us. Any change to our business practices that makes our service
less attractive to customers or prohibits use of our services by residents of a particular jurisdiction could decrease our transaction
volume and harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.
Our
disbursement partners generally are regulated institutions in their home jurisdiction, and money transfers are regulated by governments
in both the United States and in the jurisdiction of the recipient. If our disbursement partners fail to comply with applicable laws,
it could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Money
transfers are regulated by state, federal and foreign governments. Many of our disbursement partners are banks that are heavily regulated
by their home jurisdictions. Our non-bank disbursement partners are also subject to money transfer regulations. We require regulatory
compliance as a condition to our continued relationship, perform due diligence on our disbursement partners, and monitor them periodically
with the goal of meeting regulatory expectations. However, there are limits to the extent to which we can monitor their regulatory compliance.
Any determination that our disbursement partners or their sub-disbursement partners have violated laws and regulations could seriously
damage our reputation, resulting in diminished revenue and profit and increased operating costs. While our services are not directly
regulated by governments outside the United States, except with respect to IDT Financial Services Limited, or IDTFS, our Gibraltar-based
bank as discussed below, it is possible that in some cases we could be liable for the failure of our disbursement partners or their sub-disbursement
partners to comply with laws, which also could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
| 34 | |
IDTFS
is a licensed bank regulated by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC). As a deposit-taking institution, IDTFS
is authorized to provide a wide range of regulated banking and financial services, including the issuance of electronic money, payment
services and foreign exchange services. As a regulated bank, IDTFS is subject to stringent supervisory oversight and is required to maintain
robust governance, risk management, anti-money laundering (AML) controls, and capital adequacy in accordance with Gibraltarian and EU
financial regulations. The GFSCs oversight extends to all aspects of IDTFS operations, including customer due diligence,
transaction monitoring, and safeguarding of client funds. Failure to comply with regulatory obligations could result in fines, enforcement
actions, reputational damage, or, in severe cases, revocation of the banking license.
IDT
Services Limited (IDTS) is regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) and operates under the Maltese and EU legal framework
for financial services providers. It was licensed by the MFSA as an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) in May 2025, authorizing it to
issue electronic money and provide payment services. While its operational scope differs from that of IDTFS, IDTS is nonetheless subject
to similar regulatory expectations regarding AML compliance, internal governance, data protection, and financial reporting. The MFSA
conducts regular supervision to ensure ongoing compliance with applicable regulations. Non-compliance could result in regulatory sanctions
or, ultimately, the withdrawal of authorization.
We
receive, store, process, and use personal information and other data, which subjects us to governmental regulation and other legal obligations
related to privacy. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business, financial condition, and
results of operations.
We
receive, store, and process personal information and other customer data, including bank account numbers, credit and debit card information,
identification numbers, and images of government identification cards. As a result, we are required to comply with the privacy provisions
of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, or the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, or PCI DSS.
There are also numerous other federal, state, local, and international laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, or CCPA and
the EUs General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, regarding privacy and the storing, sharing, use, processing, disclosure,
and protection of personal information and other customer data, the scope of which are changing, subject to differing interpretations,
and may be inconsistent among different jurisdictions or conflict with other applicable rules. It is possible that these obligations
may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or
our business practices.
Additionally,
with advances in computer capabilities and data protection requirements to address ongoing threats, we may be required to expend significant
capital and other resources to protect against potential security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by security breaches.
Any
failure or perceived failure by us to comply with our privacy policies, our privacy-related obligations to customers or other third parties,
or our privacy-related legal obligations, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized release or transfer of personally
identifiable information or other customer data, may result in governmental enforcement actions, fines, or litigation. If there is a
breach of credit or debit card information that we store, we could also be liable to the issuing banks for their cost of issuing new
cards and related expenses. In addition, a significant breach could result in our being prohibited from processing transactions for any
of the relevant network organizations, such as Visa or MasterCard, which would harm our business. If any third parties with whom we work,
such as marketing partners, vendors, or developers, violate applicable laws or our policies, such violations may put our customers
information at risk and could harm our business. Any negative publicity arising out of a data breach or failure to comply with applicable
privacy requirements could damage our reputation and cause our customers to lose trust in us, which could harm our business, results
of operations, financial position, and potential for growth.
We
may be harmed by certain imminent FCC Orders and rules that effect the telecommunications marketplace.
In
the Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence, or TRACED, Act, Congress gave the FCC new tools to fight unwanted,
and often illegal, robocalls, the top consumer complaint reported to the FCC annually. The TRACED Act required the FCC to mandate the
STIR/SHAKEN caller identification framework. STIR/SHAKEN enables phone companies to verify that the caller ID information transmitted
with a call matches the callers real phone number. The FCC has issued a series of Orders and adopted several rules to implement
the TRACED Act.

The
FCCs rules present several concerns to all carriers. Notably, the FCC has prohibited STIR/SHAKEN compliant carriers, such as IDT,
from doing business with non-compliant carriers. 
Additionally,
the rules extend to many foreign carriers, and it is unclear whether foreign carriers will be sufficiently educated and experienced to
implement U.S. rules and regulations. Foreign carrier compliance, or the lack thereof, could impact U.S. carriers as they seek to meet
their own regulatory obligations. There may also be changes in the marketplace as foreign carriers may look to limit U.S. carrier partners
to whom they transmit calls for termination in the U.S. that are subject to the STIR/SHAKEN rules.
In
Canada, the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission, or CRTC is implementing near-identical STIR/SHAKEN rules as
the FCC is implementing in the U.S. although it is not apparent whether the CRTC will punish service providers who fail to meet their
obligations with the zealousness of the FCC. We expect that additional national communications regulators will implement similar, if
not identical, STIR/SHAKEN legislation.
We
anticipate meeting our regulatory obligations under the STIR/SHAKEN rules and we are undertaking efforts to prevent us from being harmed
by potential changes in the marketplace. Nevertheless, the FCCs rules allow for the possibility that well-prepared carriers with
anti-robocalling procedures in place may fail and be punished for their failure, despite their best efforts. Moreover, because the STIR/SHAKEN
rules may have a significant impact on the telecommunications marketplace, it is difficult to predict their outcome. We are prepared
for the implementation of STIR/SHAKEN but are concerned about its impact on the market as a whole and on us specifically.
Federal
and state regulations may be passed that could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our
ability to provide VoIP communications services at attractive rates arises in large part from the fact that VoIP services are not currently
subject to the same level of regulation as traditional, switch-based telephony. The use of the Internet and private IP networks to provide
voice communications services is largely unregulated within the United States, although several foreign governments have adopted laws
and/or regulations that could restrict or prohibit the provision of voice communications services over the Internet or private IP networks.
In the United States, the California PUC has initiated a proceeding under which we believe the PUC will expand its authority to regulate
interconnected VOIP. Other states are expected to follow the California PUCs lead. If interconnected VoIP services become subject
to state regulation and/or additional regulation by the FCC, such regulation will likely lead to higher costs and reduce or eliminate
the competitive advantage interconnected VoIP holds over traditional telecommunications services by virtue of its lesser regulatory oversight.
More aggressive regulation of the Internet in general, and Internet telephony providers and services specifically, may materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our
ability to offer services outside of the United States is subject to the local regulatory environment, which may be unfavorable, complicated,
and often uncertain.
Regulatory
treatment outside the United States varies from country to country. We distribute our products and services through resellers that may
be subject to telecommunications regulations in their home countries. The failure of these resellers to comply with these laws and regulations
could reduce our revenue and profitability or expose us to audits and other regulatory proceedings. Regulatory developments such as these
could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
In
many countries in which we operate, or our services are sold, the status of the laws that may relate to our services is unclear. We cannot
be certain that our customers, resellers, or other affiliates are currently in compliance with regulatory or other legal requirements
in their respective countries, that they or we will be able to comply with existing or future requirements, and/or that they or we will
continue in compliance with any requirements. Our failure or the failure of those with whom we transact business to comply with these
requirements could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
While
we expect additional regulation of our industry in some or all these areas, and we expect continuing changes in the regulatory environment
as new and proposed regulations are reviewed, revised and amended, we cannot predict with certainty what impact new laws in these areas
will have on us, if any.

net2phones
VoIP services are subject to regulation in the United States and Canada. Future legislative, regulatory, or judicial actions could adversely
affect net2phones business and expose it to liability and limit its growth potential.
The
United States and Canada have applied some traditional telephone company regulations to VoIP and continue to evaluate how VoIP should
be regulated, as are other countries as we expand globally. The effects of future regulatory developments are uncertain. At the federal
level in the United States, the FCC has imposed certain telecommunications regulations on VoIP services including, but not limited to:
| 
| 
| 
Requirements to provide E-911
service; | |
| 
| 
| 
Communications Assistance
for Law Enforcement Act obligations; | |
| 
| 
| 
Obligation to support Universal
Service; | |
| 
| 
| 
Customer Proprietary Network
Information, or CPNI, requirements; | |
| 
| 
| 
Disability access obligations; | |
| 
| 
| 
Local Number Portability
requirements; and | |
| 
| 
| 
Consumer protection, including
protection from unwanted telemarketing and other calls. | |
In
Canada, the CRTC regulates VoIP Service. These regulated services are similar to those regulated in the United States discussed above.
We are subject to a variety of other federal, state and international laws and regulations as well as oversight from a variety of governmental
agencies and public service commissions. The laws governing our business may change in ways that harm our business. Federal, state, or
international governmental agencies administering and enforcing such laws may also choose to interpret and apply them in ways that harm
our business. These interpretations are also subject to change. Regulatory action could materially impair or force us to change our business
model and may adversely affect our revenue, increase our compliance costs, and reduce our profitability. In addition, governmental agencies
such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, Internal Revenue Service, FTC, FCC, and state taxing authorities may conclude that we
have violated federal laws, state laws or other rules and regulations, and we could be subject to fines, penalties or other actions that
could adversely impact our financial results or our ability to conduct business.
We
are subject to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business that may have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
Various
legal proceedings that have arisen or may arise in the ordinary course of business have not been finally adjudicated, which may have
a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition (see Note 22 to our Consolidated Financial
Statements in Item 8 to Part II of this Annual Report).
Our
telecommunications services are required to comply with industry standards, FCC regulations, privacy laws as well as certain state and
local jurisdiction specific regulations. Failure to comply with existing laws and any new laws that may become applicable to us may subject
us to penalties, increase our operating costs, and may also require us to modify existing products and/or service.
The
acceptance of telecommunications services is dependent upon our meeting certain industry standards. We are required to comply with certain
rules and regulations of the FCC regarding safety standards. Standards are continuously being modified and replaced. As standards evolve,
we may be required to modify our existing products or develop and support new versions of our products. We must comply with certain federal,
state, and local requirements regarding how we interact with our customers, including marketing practices, consumer protection, privacy,
and billing issues, the provision of emergency 911 service, and the quality of service we provide to our customers. The failure of our
products and services to comply, or delays in compliance with various existing and evolving standards could delay future offerings and
impact our revenues and profitability. Changes to the Universal Service Fund by the FCC or various state Universal Service Funds may
require us to increase our costs which could negatively affect revenue and profitability.
We
are subject to Federal laws and FCC regulations that require us to protect customer information. While we have protections in place to
protect customer information there is no assurance that our systems will not be subject to failure or intentional fraudulent attack.
The failure to protect required information could subject us to penalties and diminish the confidence our customers have in our systems,
which could negatively affect results. While we try to comply with all applicable data protection laws, regulations, standards, and codes
of conduct, as well as our own posted privacy policies and contractual commitments to the extent possible, any failure by us to protect
our customers privacy and data, including as a result of our systems being compromised by hacking or other malicious or surreptitious
activity, could result in a loss of customer confidence in our services and ultimately in a loss of customers, which could materially
and adversely affect our business as well as subject us to law suits, civil fines and criminal penalties.
| 37 | |
Governmental
entities, class action lawyers, and consumer advocates are reviewing the data collection and use by companies that must maintain such
data. Our own requirements as well as regulatory codes of conduct, enforcement actions by regulatory agencies, and lawsuits by other
parties could impose additional compliance costs on us as well as subject us to unknown potential liabilities. These evolving laws, rules,
and practices may also curtail our current business activities, which may delay or affect our ability to become profitable as well as
affect customers and other business opportunities.
In
addition, several foreign countries and governmental bodies, including the EU, Brazil, and Canada, have laws and regulations concerning
the collection and use of personally identifiable information obtained from their residents, including payment card information, which
are often more restrictive than those in the U.S. Laws and regulations in these jurisdictions apply broadly to the collection, use, storage,
disclosure, and security of personally identifiable information, including payment card information identifying, or which may be used
to identify, an individual, such as names, email addresses, and, in some jurisdictions, IP addresses, device identifiers, and other data.
As we conduct business or become deemed to conduct business in foreign jurisdictions, including through websites that we host that may
be available in these locations, we may become subject to those laws and regulations.
We
are also subject to privacy and data protection-related obligations in our contracts with our customers and other third parties. Any
failure, or perceived failure, to comply with federal, state, or international laws, or to comply with our contractual obligations related
to privacy, could result in proceedings or actions against us which could result in significant liability to us as well as harm to our
reputation. Additionally, third parties with whom we contract may violate or appear to violate laws or regulations which could subject
us to the same risks. Any new laws, regulations, other legal obligations or industry standards, or any changed interpretation of existing
laws, regulations or other standards may require us to incur additional costs and restrict our business operations.
Our
collection, processing, storage, use, and transmission of personal data could give rise to liabilities because of governmental regulation,
conflicting legal requirements, differing views on data privacy, or security breaches.
We
engage in electronic billing and processing of our customers using secure transmission of sometimes confidential information over public
networks. We have systems and processes in place that are designed to protect consumer information and prevent fraudulent credit card
transactions and other security breaches. However, there is no guarantee that such systems and processes will not experience a failure.
Our failure to protect against fraud or breaches may subject us to costly breach notification and other mitigation obligations, class
action lawsuits, investigations, fines, forfeitures, or penalties from governmental agencies that could adversely affect our operating
results. We may be unable to prevent our customers from fraudulently receiving goods and services. Personal data is increasingly subject
to legal and regulatory protections around the world, which vary widely in approach and which possibly conflict with one another. In
recent years, for example, U.S. legislators and regulatory agencies, such as the FTC, as well as U.S. states have increased their focus
on protecting personal data by law and regulation and have increased enforcement actions for violations of privacy and data protection
requirements. The CCPA requires, among other things, covered companies to provide new disclosures to California consumers, and afford
such consumers new abilities to opt-out of certain sales of personal information. While we believe that we are not a covered entity under
the law, the effects of the CCPA potentially are significant, and may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies
and to incur substantial costs and expenses to comply. We may also from time to time be subject to, or face assertions that we are subject
to, additional obligations relating to personal data by contract or due to assertions that self-regulatory obligations or industry standards
apply to our practices.
We
may also experience losses due to customer fraud and theft of service, such as fraudulent credit card transactions. Customers have, in
the past, obtained access to our service without paying for monthly service and international toll calls by unlawfully using fraudulently
obtained codes. If our existing anti-fraud procedures are not adequate or effective, consumer fraud and theft of service could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
The
GDPR and the Data Protection Act in the United Kingdom are intended to protect the privacy and security of personal data, including credit
card information that is collected, processed, and transmitted in or from the relevant jurisdiction. We stopped hosting websites in GDPR-complaint
countries or countries from which the bulk of business came from countries subject to GDPR. We also took steps to block those countries
from accessing any other sites we host. While we do not currently provide services in countries where compliance would be required and
are therefore not required to be compliant, if we did provide those services or otherwise were required to become complaint, implementation
of and compliance with these laws and regulations may be more costly or take longer than we anticipate, or could otherwise adversely
affect our business operations, which could negatively impact our financial position or cash flows.
Additionally,
media coverage of data breaches has escalated, in part because of the increased number of enforcement actions, investigations, and lawsuits.
As this focus and attention on privacy and data protection increases, we also risk exposure to potential liabilities and costs resulting
from compliance with or any failure to comply with applicable legal requirements, conflicts among these legal requirements, or differences
in approaches to privacy.
| 38 | |
We
could fail to comply with requirements for debit card, credit card, and other digital payment methods, which could have a material adverse
effect on our revenues, results of operations, and financial condition.
A
significant and increasing portion of our transactions are processed using debit cards, credit cards, and other digital payment methods.
The banks, credit card companies, networks, and other payment processing providers impose strict regulatory, compliance, system, and
other requirements to participate in such parties payment systems. We are required to comply with the privacy provisions of various
federal and state privacy statutes and regulations, and the PCI DSS, each of which is subject to change at any time. Compliance with
PCI DSS does not guarantee a completely secure environment and notwithstanding the results of this assessment there can be no assurance
that payment card brands will not request further compliance assessments or set forth additional requirements to maintain access to credit
card processing services. Compliance with PCI DSS is an ongoing effort, and the requirements evolve as new threats are identified. Compliance
with these requirements is often difficult and costly, and our failure, or our counterpartys failure, to comply may result in
significant fines or civil penalties, regulatory enforcement action, or liability under or termination of necessary agreements, each
of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and/or operations and that of our distributors who could be liable
as well.
Further,
our payment services are subject to stringent requirements by regulators and trade organizations in various jurisdictions. Our payment
services unit is subject to federal and state banking regulations, and we are also subject to further regulation by those states in which
we are licensed as a money transmitter. We may not be able to comply with all such requirements in a timely manner or remain in compliance.
If we are not in compliance, we could be subject to penalties or the termination of our rights to participate in such payment systems
or provide such services, which could have a material negative impact on our ability to grow our businesses and our revenues and profits.
We
face risks in our sales to certain market segments including, but not limited to, sales subject to HIPAA Regulations.
Our
customers can use our services to store contact and other personal or identifying information, and to process, transmit, receive, store,
and retrieve a variety of communications and messages, including information about their own customers and other contacts. In addition,
customers may use our services to store protected health information, or PHI, that is protected under the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act, or HIPAA. We have sold and will continue to attempt to sell to certain customer segments which may have requirements
for additional privacy or security. In addition, sales may be made to customers that are subject to additional security requirements.
Selling into segments with additional requirements increases potential liability that in some instances may be unlimited. While we believe
we meet or exceed all requirements for sales to such segments, there is no assurance that our systems fully comply with all requirements.
Noncompliance with laws and regulations relating to privacy and HIPAA may lead to significant fines, penalties, or civil liability.
Our
ability to offer services outside the United States is subject to different regulations which may be unknown and uncertain.
Regulatory
treatment of VoIP providers outside the United States varies from country to country, and local jurisdictions. Many times, the laws are
vague, unclear and regulations are not enforced uniformly. We are licensed as a VoIP seller in our international markets and are considering
expanding to other countries. We also cannot control if our customers take their devices out of the United States and use them abroad.
Our resellers may sell to customers who maintain facilities outside the United States. The failure by us or our customers and resellers
to comply with laws and regulations could reduce our revenue and profitability. As we expand to additional countries there may be additional
regulations that we are required to comply with, the failure to comply or properly assess regulations may subject us to penalties, fines,
and other actions that could materially affect our business.
Examinations
by relevant tax authorities may result in material changes in related tax reserves for tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns
or may impact the valuation of certain deferred income tax assets, such as net operating loss carry-forwards.
Based
on the outcome of examinations by relevant tax authorities, or because of the expiration of statutes of limitations for specific jurisdictions,
it is reasonably possible that the related tax reserves for tax positions taken regarding previously filed tax returns will materially
change from those recorded in our financial statements. In addition, the outcome of examinations may impact the valuation of certain
deferred income tax assets (such as net operating loss carry-forwards) in future periods. It is not possible to estimate the impact of
the amount of such changes, if any, on previously recorded uncertain tax positions.
| 39 | |
There
may be a negative effect on our business going forward because of changes to net neutrality.
The
principle that Internet service providers should treat all Internet communications equally and not charge users different rates for various
tiers of service or prioritize certain traffic while blocking or slowing down others, is called net neutrality. On January 4, 2018, the
FCC released an order that largely repealed prior FCC rules that prevented broadband internet access providers from degrading or otherwise
disrupting a broad range of services provisioned over consumers and enterprises broadband internet access lines. In January
2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit struck down the FCCs January 2018 order.
Many
of the largest providers of broadband services, like cable companies and traditional telephone companies, have publicly stated that they
will not degrade or disrupt their customers use of applications and services, like ours. However, there was no guarantee that
they would not do so in the future. If such providers were to degrade, impair, or block our services, it would negatively impact our
ability to provide services to our customers, and we would likely lose revenue and profits. We would probably incur legal fees in an
attempt to restore our customers access to our services. Broadband internet access providers may also attempt to charge us or
our customers additional fees to access services like ours that may result in the loss of customers and revenue, or increase our costs
thereby reducing our profitability, or make our services less competitive if we increase our rates to our customers.
Following
the adoption of the FCCs January 2018 order, several states passed state-level net neutrality laws. However, we cannot rely on
those state laws because of potential opposition from the federal government. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these disputes.
States
are adding regulations for VoIP providers which could increase our costs and change certain aspects of our service.
Certain
states take the position that offerings by VoIP providers may include intrastate communications and should therefore be subject to state
regulation including state taxes or surcharges. We have registered as an interconnected VoIP provider in those states where registration
is required; however, our rates are not regulated in the same manner as traditional telephone service providers. We believe that the
FCC has pre-empted states from regulating VoIP providers in the same manner as providers of traditional telecommunications services.
We cannot predict how this issue will be resolved or its impact on our business at this time.
Taxing
authorities may successfully assert that we should have collected or in the future should collect sales and use, value added, or similar
taxes, and any such assessments could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Jurisdictions
in which we do not collect sales, use, value added, or similar taxes on VoIP services or other products may assert that such taxes are
applicable, which could result in tax assessments, penalties, and interest, and we may be required to collect such taxes in the future.
Such tax assessments, penalties, interest, or future requirements could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Further, in June 2018, the Supreme Court held in *South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc.* that states could impose sales tax collection obligations
on out-of-state sellers even if those sellers lack any physical presence within the states imposing the sales taxes. Under *Wayfair*,
a person requires only a substantial nexus with the taxing state before the state may subject the person to sales tax collection
obligations therein. An increasing number of states (both before and after the publication of *Wayfair*) have considered or adopted
laws that attempt to impose sales tax collection obligations on out-of-state sellers. The Supreme Courts *Wayfair* decision
has removed a significant impediment to the enactment and enforcement of these laws, and it is possible that states may seek to tax out-of-state
sellers on sales that occurred in prior tax years, which could create additional administrative burdens for us, put us at a competitive
disadvantage if such states do not impose similar obligations on our competitors, and decrease our future sales, which would adversely
impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We
are controlled by our principal stockholder, which limits the ability of other stockholders to affect the management of the Company.
Howard
S. Jonas, our Chairman and Chairman of the Board of Directors, controls a majority of the voting power of our capital stock. As of September
24, 2025, Mr. Jonas has voting power over 1,574,326 shares of our Class A common stock (which are convertible into shares of our Class
B common stock on a 1-for-1 basis) and 2,630,045 shares of our Class B common stock, representing approximately 70.3% of the combined
voting power of our outstanding capital stock. Mr. Jonas will be able to control all matters requiring approval by our stockholders,
including the election of all the directors and the approval of significant corporate matters, including any merger, consolidation or
sale of all or substantially all of our assets. As a result, the ability of any of our other stockholders to influence our management

1C. Cybersecurity.
Cybersecurity
risk management and strategy
Our
cybersecurity risk management is based on recognized cybersecurity industry frameworks and standards, including those of the National
Institute of Standards and Technology, the Center for Internet Security Controls, and the International Organization for Standardization.
We use these frameworks, together with information collected from internal assessments, to develop policies for the use of our information
assets (for example, business information and information resources such as mobile phones, computers and workstations), access to specific
intellectual property or technologies, and protection of personal information. We protect these information assets through industry-standard
techniques, such as multifactor authentication and malware defenses. We also work with internal stakeholders across the company to integrate
foundational cybersecurity principles throughout our organizations operations, including the employment of multiple layers of
cybersecurity defenses, restricted access based on business needs, and integrity of our business information. We also regularly train
our employees on cybersecurity awareness, confidential information protection and simulated phishing attacks.
We
regularly engage third-party assessors to conduct penetration testing and measure our program to industry standard frameworks. We also
have standing engagements with incident response experts and external counsel. We frequently collaborate with industry experts and cybersecurity
practitioners at other companies to exchange information about potential cybersecurity threats, best practices and trends.
Our
cybersecurity risk management extends to risks associated with our use of third-party service providers. For instance, we conduct risk
and compliance assessments of third-party service providers that request access to our information assets.
Our
cybersecurity risk management is an important part of our comprehensive business continuity program and enterprise risk management. Our
global information security team periodically engages with a cross-functional group of subject matter experts and leaders to assess and
refine our cybersecurity risk posture and preparedness. For example, we regularly evaluate and update contingency strategies for our
business in the event that a portion of our information resources were to be unavailable due to a cybersecurity incident. We practice
our response to potential cybersecurity incidents through regular tabletop exercises, threat hunting and red team exercises.
| 41 | |
Governance
of cybersecurity risk management
Our
Board of Directors, as a whole, has oversight responsibility for our strategic and operational risks. Our Audit Committee of our Board
of Directors assists the Board of Directors with this responsibility by reviewing and discussing our risk assessment and risk management
practices, including cybersecurity risks, with members of management. The Audit Committee, in turn, periodically reports on its review
with the Board of Directors.
Management
is responsible for day-to-day assessment and management of cybersecurity risks and reports regularly to our Audit Committee.

Our
Class B common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol IDT.
On
September 22, 2025, there were 254 holders of record of our Class B common stock and one holder of record of our Class A common stock.
All shares of Class A common stock are beneficially owned by Howard S. Jonas, our Chairman and the Chairman of the Board. The number
of holders of record of our Class B common stock does not include the number of persons whose shares are in nominee or in street
name accounts through brokers. On September 22, 2025, the last sales price reported on the New York Stock Exchange for our Class
B common stock was $68.30 per share.
In
fiscal 2018, our Board of Directors discontinued our quarterly dividend, electing instead to repurchase shares of our Class B common
stock when warranted by market conditions, available resources, and our business outlook and results, as well as to invest in our growth
business initiatives. Accordingly, no dividends were paid since fiscal 2018 until fiscal 2024.
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. In
fiscal 2024, we paid aggregate cash dividends of $2.5 million on our Class A and Class B common stock.
In
fiscal 2025, we paid a dividend of $0.05 per share on our Class A and Class B common stock on each of October 7, 2024 and December 31,
2024 and a dividend of $0.06 per share on our Class A and Class B common stock on each of March 25, 2025 and June 18, 2025. In fiscal
2025, we paid aggregate cash dividends of $5.6 million on our Class A and Class B common stock.
In

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of
financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue,
and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Critical accounting estimates are estimates made in accordance
with U.S. GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material
impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Our critical accounting estimates include those related to goodwill impairment
testing, valuation of long-lived assets, allowance for credit losses, and income taxes, sales taxes, and regulatory agency fees. See
Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 to Part II of this Annual Report for a complete discussion of our significant
accounting policies.
Goodwill Impairment Testing
Under U.S. GAAP, goodwill is not amortized but is
reviewed annually for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit. A reporting unit is an operating segment, or
one level below the operating segment, depending on whether certain criteria are met.
Our annual assessment date is May 1. An interim impairment
test would be required whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. The goodwill
impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. We would recognize an impairment charge for the
amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units fair value; however, the loss recognized would not exceed the
total amount of goodwill. Additionally, we consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the
reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable.
We have the option to perform a qualitative assessment
to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. However, we may elect to perform the quantitative
goodwill impairment test even if no indications of a potential impairment exist.
The carrying amount of our goodwill by reporting
unit was as follows:

| | |
For our annual goodwill impairment test as of May
1, 2025, we performed qualitative assessments for all of our reporting units that indicated that it was more likely than not that the
fair values of our reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values and, therefore, did not result in an impairment.
For our annual goodwill impairment test as of May
1, 2024, we performed quantitative assessments of our Retail Communications and net2phone reporting units and qualitative assessments
for our Fintech and IDT Digital Payments reporting units. Our assessments did not indicate any goodwill impairment as of May 1, 2024.
For the quantitative assessments, we calculated the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow method as a form of
the income approach. The discounted cash flow method is based on the present value of projected cash flows and a terminal value. The
terminal value represents the expected normalized future cash flows of the reporting unit beyond the projection period. We used a discount
rate based on the weighted-average cost of capital of comparable companies by Global Industry Classification Standard code that represented
our estimate of the expected return a marketplace participant would have required.
We do not believe we are currently at risk of goodwill
impairment based on qualitative assessments of our reporting units for the three months ended July 31, 2025. We considered several factors
in these qualitative assessments including (i) the business enterprise value of the reporting unit from the last quantitative test and
the excess of the fair value over carrying value, (ii) macroeconomic conditions including changes in interest rates and discount rates,
(iii) industry and market considerations including industry revenue, EBITDA margins, and multiples based on business enterprise value
to revenues and to EBITDA, and (iv) the recent financial performance and budget of the reporting unit.
Calculating the fair value of a reporting unit requires
significant estimates and assumptions by management. The key assumptions and judgments underlying our quantitative assessment include
the discount rates and terminal growth rates used in our discounted cash flow analysis, the revenue and EBITDA projections for our reporting
units, and estimates of future levels of gross and operating profits and capital expenditures. Should the estimates and assumptions regarding
the fair value of the reporting units prove to be incorrect, we may be required to record impairments to goodwill in future periods.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
We test the recoverability of our long-lived assets
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any such asset may not be recoverable. Such events or
changes in circumstances include:
| 
| significant
actual underperformance relative to expected performance or projected future operating results; | |
| 
| significant
changes in the manner or use of the asset or the strategy of our overall business; | |
| 
| significant
adverse changes in the business climate in which we operate; and | |
| 
| loss
of a significant contract. | |
There were no such events or changes in circumstances
in fiscal 2025 or fiscal 2024. If we determine that events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of certain long-lived
assets may not be recoverable, we test for impairment based on the projected undiscounted cash flows to be derived from such asset. If
the projected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, we will record an impairment loss based on
the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of the asset. We generally measure fair value by considering sale
prices for similar assets or by discounting estimated future cash flows from the asset using an appropriate discount rate. Cash flow
projections for specific assets and fair value estimates of assets require significant estimates and assumptions by management that have
a significant level of estimation uncertainty. Should our estimates and assumptions prove to be incorrect, we may be required to record
impairments in future periods and such impairments could be material.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Accounts Receivable
Our allowance for credit losses was $9.1 million
and $6.4 million at July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, partially due to an increase in credit losses related to ads and data. The allowance as a percentage of gross trade accounts receivable increased
to 17.5% at July 31, 2025 from 13.1% at July 31, 2024 because, at July 31, 2025 compared to July 31, 2024, gross trade accounts receivable
increased 7.0% and the allowance increased 43.2%. The most significant increase in the trade accounts receivable balance at July 31,
2025 compared to July 31, 2024 was in NRS.
For our allowance for trade accounts receivable,
we record an expense based on a forward-looking current expected credit loss model to maintain our allowance for credit losses. We consider
the probability of recoverability of accounts receivable based on past experience, considering current collection trends and general
economic factors, including bankruptcy rates. We also consider future economic trends to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime
of the asset. Credit risks are 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.
| 46 | |
| | |
Our allowance for credit losses estimate is subject
to change due to new developments, changes in assumptions or changes in our strategy. We continually assess the likelihood of potential
amounts or ranges of recoverability and adjust our allowance accordingly; however, actual collections and write-offs of trade accounts
receivables may materially differ from our estimates.
Income Taxes, Sales Taxes, and Regulatory Agency
Fees
Our current and deferred income taxes and associated
valuation allowance, accruals for sales taxes, and telecom regulatory agency fee accruals, are impacted by events and transactions arising
in the normal course of business as well as in connection with special and non-routine items. Assessment of the appropriate amount of
income taxes, sales taxes, and regulatory agency fees is dependent on several factors, including estimates of the timing and realization
of deferred income tax assets, judgments about the potential results of audits and applicability of regulatory agency rules and regulations,
as well as judgments and assumptions about changes in income tax, sales tax, and regulatory agency laws, rules, or regulations.
The valuation allowance on our deferred income tax
assets was $14.9 million and $13.6 million at July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In fiscal 2025, we decreased the valuation allowance
by $3.4 million, due to profitability in the United Kingdom, offset by $4.7 million of additions in other jurisdictions. In fiscal 2024, we increased the valuation allowance by $3.0 million, which
included the establishment of a valuation allowance of $3.5 million for deferred income tax assets that were not more likely than not
going to be utilized prior to expiration, net of a decrease of $0.2 million due to the utilization or disposal of previously valued deferred
income tax assets and a release of $0.3 million for profitability in the United Kingdom.
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.
Our 2017 FCC Form 499-A, which reported our calendar
year 2016 revenue, was audited by the USAC. The USACs final decision imposed a $2.9 million charge on us for the Federal Telecommunications
Relay Service, or TRS, Fund. We have appealed the USACs final decision to the FCC and we do not intend to remit payment for the
TRS Fund fees unless and until a negative decision on our appeal has been issued. We have made certain changes to our filing policies
and procedures for years that remain potentially under audit. At July 31, 2025 and 2024, our accrued expenses included $21.1 million
and $25.9 million, respectively, for FCC-related regulatory fees for the year covered by the audit, as well as prior and subsequent years.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD NOT YET
ADOPTED
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 Intangibles Goodwill and Other Internal-Use
Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which simplifies the capitalization guidance
by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods.
The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods
within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update permit an entity to apply the new
guidance using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effects
of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2024-03,Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense
Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)*, to improve the disclosures about an entitys expenses including more detailed
information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. At each interim and annual reporting period, entities
will disclose in tabular format disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying relevant income statement captions,
as well as the total amount of selling expense and a description of the composition of its selling expense. We will adopt the amendments
in this ASU for our fiscal year beginning on August 1, 2027. We are evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on our 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 consolidated results of operations.
As of July 31, 2025, 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 81.6% of the outstanding
shares of NRS. On a fully diluted basis assuming all the vesting criteria related to various rights granted have been met, we would own
90.1% of the equity of net2phone 2.0 and 79.5% of the equity of NRS.
| 47 | |

Reclassifications
From and after August 1, 2024, we reclassified certain
customer funds for pending money transfers in our consolidated financial statements. In the consolidated balance sheet at July 31, 2024,
$8.9million previously included in Settlement liabilities was reclassified to Customer funds deposits,
and in the consolidated statements of cash flows in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, cash provided by Trade accounts payable, accrued
expenses, settlement liabilities, other current liabilities, and other liabilities of $1.6million and $2.0 million, respectively,
was reclassified to cash used in Customer funds deposits. These amounts were reclassified to conform to the current years
presentation.
Concentration of Customers
While they may vary from quarter to quarter, our
five largest customers collectively accounted for 8.9%, 10.3%, and 10.8% of our consolidated revenues in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and
fiscal 2023, respectively. Our customers with the five largest receivables balance collectively accounted for 20.4% and 22.7% of our
consolidated gross trade accounts receivable at July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This concentration of customers increases our risk
associated with nonpayment by those customers. In an effort to reduce our risk, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our significant
customers, and in some cases, do not offer credit terms to customers, choosing instead to require prepayment. Historically, when we have
issued credit, we have not required collateral to support trade accounts receivable from our customers. However, when necessary, we have
imposed stricter credit restrictions on our customers. In some cases, this has resulted in our sharply curtailing, or ceasing completely,
sales to certain customers.
Explanation of Performance Metrics
Our results of operations discussion include the
following performance metrics:
| 
| for
NRS, active POS terminals, payment processing accounts, and recurring revenue, | |
| 
| for
net2phone, seats and subscription revenue, and | |
| 
| for
Traditional Communications, minutes of use. | |
NRS uses three key metrics to measure the size of its
customer base, including two that are non-GAAP measures: 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 accounts that can generate revenue. It excludes accounts that have been approved but not activated. In addition to the foregoing, NRS uses
recurring revenue as a performance metric, which consist of NRS revenue in accordance with U.S.GAAP, excluding its revenue from POS terminal sales.
net2phones cloud communications offerings
are priced on a per-seat basis, with customers paying based on the number of users in their organization. net2phones 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, payment processing accounts, seats served, recurring revenue, and subscription revenue are used in the
analysis of NRS or net2phones 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 Revolutions and IDT Globals
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 increased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 driven primarily by revenue growth from NRS merchant services, as well
as the expansion of NRS POS network.
**
*Direct
Cost of Revenues.* Direct cost of revenues increased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 primarily due to the increases
in the direct costs of NRS merchant services and advertising, partially offset by a decrease in the direct costs of NRS
POS terminal sales.
**
*Selling,
General and Administrative.* Selling, general and administrative expense increased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 primarily
due to increases in sales commissions, bad debt expense, employee compensation, and marketing expense. The increase in bad debt expense
was related to a large programmatic advertising partner. As a percentage of NRS revenue, NRS selling, general and administrative
expense was 60.6%, 60.7%, and 61.0% in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023, respectively.
**
*Technology
and Development.*Technology and development expense increased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 primarily due to
increases in employee compensation and depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by a decrease in consulting expense.
**
*Other
Operating Expense.*In fiscal 2025, we recorded an aggregate expense of $4.0 million related to the settlement of litigation,
of which $2.4 million was included in the NRS segment and $1.6 million was included in Corporate. In fiscal 2024, NRS recorded expense
of $0.2 million for the cost of capitalized internal use software and certain other assets that were no longer in use.

Fintech Segment
Fintech, which represented 12.6%, 10.0%, and 7.0%
of our total revenues in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023, respectively, 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
a variable interest entity (VIE), that processes disbursement payments, which we refer to as the Disbursement Payments VIE, (iii) IDT Financial Services Limited, or IDT Financial
Services, a Gibraltar-based bank and (iv) IDT Services Limited (IDTS), a Malta-based electronic money institution.

*Revenues.*
Revenues increased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 primarily because of increased transaction volume at BOSS Money, which included
increases in both its digital and retail channel transactions.
**
*Direct
Cost of Revenues.* Direct cost of revenues increased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 primarily due to an increase in
BOSS Moneys direct cost of revenues, which reflected the increase in BOSS Moneys revenue.
**
*Selling,
General and Administrative.* Selling, general and administrative expense increased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 primarily
due to increases in debit and credit card processing charges, employee compensation, bank fees, and marketing expenses. 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 Fintechs revenue, Fintechs selling, general and administrative expense was 42.8%, 49.4%, and
54.5% in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023, respectively.
**
*Technology
and Development.*Technology and development expense decreased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 primarily due to
a decrease in employee compensation expense, partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization expense, software license
and maintenance expense, and cloud services expense.
**
*Other
Operating Gain, net.*In fiscal 2024, we determined that the requirements for contingent consideration payments related
to the Leaf Global Fintech Corporation, or Leaf, acquisition would not be met. We recognized a gain of $1.8 million on the write-off
of these contingent consideration payment obligations. In addition, in fiscal 2024, we completed a portion of the integration of the
Leaf Wallet platform into the BOSS Money app, including replacing the Leaf tradename with BOSS Money. The Leaf tradename balance of $0.1
million was written off in fiscal 2024.

depreciation and amortization expenses. As a percentage of net2phones revenues, net2phones selling, general and administrative
expense decreased to 59.6% from 63.9% and 68.7% in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023, respectively.

for telephone equipment used in operations that was taken out of service. In fiscal 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.

69.8%, 74.6%, and 81.0% of our total revenues in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 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;

solutions to telecoms worldwide.Traditional Communications also includes other small businesses and offerings including early-stage
business initiatives and mature businesses in harvest mode.

revenue streams are from IDT Digital Payments, BOSS Revolution, and IDT Global. IDT Digital Payments and BOSS Revolution are sold directly
to consumers and through distributors and retailers. We receive payments for BOSS Revolution 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 Years Day) and the fourth fiscal quarter
(which contains Mothers Day and Fathers Day) typically showing higher minute volumes.

*Revenues.*
Revenues from IDT Digital Payments increased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 primarily due to increases in revenues from the direct-to-consumer
and enterprise and wholesale channels, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from the retail channel.
Revenues and minutes of use from BOSS Revolution
decreased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024. BOSS Revolution 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 from IDT Global increased in fiscal 2025
compared to fiscal 2024, although IDT Globals minutes of use decreased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024. IDT Global mitigated
the impacts of the ongoing industry-wide declines in paid-minute voice through a traffic mix shift to higher margin routes and new service
offerings. However, we expect IDT Global to continue to be adversely impacted by this industry-wide trend, 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 fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 primarily due to the decreases
in BOSS Revolutions minutes of use and direct cost of revenues.
**
*Selling,
General and Administrative.* Selling, general and administrative expense decreased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 primarily
due to decreases in stock-based compensation, sales commissions, and debit and credit card processing charges, partially offset by an
increase in bad debt expense. As a percentage of Traditional Communications revenue, Traditional Communications selling,
general and administrative expense was 9.3%, 9.4%, and 9.0% in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023, respectively.
**
*Technology
and Development*. Technology and development expense decreased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 primarily due to decreases
in employee compensation, cloud services expense, and depreciation and amortization expense.
**
*Severance
Expense.* Traditional Communications incurred severance expense of $0.8 million and $1.6 million in fiscal 2025 and fiscal
2024, respectively.
**
*Other
Operating Expense, net.*In fiscal 2025, Traditional Communications recorded expense of $0.2 million for certain equipment
that was taken out of service. In fiscal 2024, Traditional Communications recorded expenses of $0.2 million for internal use software
that was taken out of service.

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 fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 primarily
because of increases in employee compensation and legal fees. As a percentage of our consolidated revenues, Corporate general and administrative
expense was 0.9%, 0.9%, and 0.8% in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023, respectively.
**
*Other
Operating Expense, net.* In fiscal 2025, we recorded an aggregate expense of $4.0 million related to the settlement of litigation,
of which $1.6 million was included in Corporate and $2.4 million was included in the NRS segment.
As discussed in Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Item 8 to Part II of this Annual Report, we (as well as other defendants) were named in a class action on behalf
of the stockholders of our former subsidiary Straight Path. We incurred legal fees of $0.5 million and $7.2 million in fiscal 2025 and
fiscal 2024, respectively, related to this action. Also, we recorded offsetting gains from insurance claims for this matter of nil and
$2.9 million in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively. In fiscal 2024, we received the final payment from our insurance policy for
these claims. 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. On January 14, 2025, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the
Final Order and Judgment to the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware to appeal the Final Order and Judgment. On April 22, 2025, we
filed our answering brief to the appeal. Oral argument is scheduled for October 2025.
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.* Total stock-based compensation expense included in consolidated selling, general and administrative
expense and technology and development expense was $3.1 million and $7.4 million in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively. The decrease
in stock-based compensation expense was primarily due to a decrease in expense related to certain equity grants made in fiscal 2024 to
an executive officer, and a decrease in stock-based compensation expense from the grant of deferred stock units, or DSUs, that entitle
the grantees to receive shares of our Class B common stock. As of July 31, 2025, there was $0.4 million of total unrecognized compensation
cost related to non-vested DSUs, which is being recognized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service periods that end in October
2027.
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 lapse in three installments,
the first was on June 1, 2024, and the others are June 1, 2026 and June 1, 2027. As of July 31, 2025, unrecognized compensation cost
related to NRS non-vested Class B common stock was an aggregate of $1.2 million. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected
to be recognized over the remaining vesting period that ends in fiscal 2027.
As of July 31, 2025, there was an aggregate of $0.5
million in unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized
over the remaining vesting periods that end in fiscal 2028.

We have an investment in shares of convertible preferred
stock of a communications company (the equity method investee, or EMI). As of both July 31, 2025 and 2024, our ownership was 33.4% of
the EMIs 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 EMIs 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 EMIs 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) Benefit from Income Taxes.* With our reacquisition of net2phone in March 2006, its losses were limited under IRC Section
382 to approximately $7 million per year. In fiscal 2024, we had an IRC Section 382 study conducted on the reacquisition and the limitation
was adjusted to $9 million per year. We recorded a tax benefit related to the adjusted amount of $23.6 million in fiscal 2024. The change
in income tax expense in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024, excluding the income tax benefit in fiscal 2024, 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
fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 was primarily due to increases in net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests in NRS,
net2phone 2.0, and the Disbursement Payments VIE, partially offset by the change in the amounts attributable to the noncontrolling interests
in Sochitel.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of the date of this Annual Report, we expect our
cash from operations and the balance of cash, cash equivalents, debt securities, and current equity investments that we held on July
31, 2025 will be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements during fiscal 2026.
At July 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents,
debt securities, and current equity investments of $253.8 million and working capital (current assets in excess of current liabilities)
of $227.3 million.

Operating Activities
Our cash flows from operations vary
significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year, depending on our operating results and the timing of operating cash
receipts and payments, generally trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and disbursements prefunding.
Gross trade accounts receivable increased to $52.0
million at July 31, 2025 from $48.6 million at July 31, 2024 primarily due to amounts billed in fiscal 2025 that were greater than collections
during fiscal 2025, partially offset by uncollectible accounts written off.
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 $27.7 million at July
31, 2025 from $30.4 million at July 31, 2024 primarily due to a decrease in BOSS Revolutions deferred revenue balance.
Customer funds deposits liabilities increased to
$114.7 million at July 31, 2025 from $91.9 million at July 31, 2024. Our restricted cash and cash equivalents included an aggregate of
$115.2 million and $90.7 million at July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, held by IDT Financial Services and our Disbursement Payments
VIE for these customer funds.
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 corporations 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 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 22 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Item 8 to Part II of this Annual 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. On January 14, 2025,
the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the Final Order and Judgment to the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware to appeal the Final
Order and Judgment. On April 22, 2025, we filed our answering brief to the appeal. Oral argument is scheduled for October 2025.

Investing Activities
Our capital expenditures were $20.8 million in fiscal
2025 and $18.9 million in fiscal 2024. We currently anticipate that total capital expenditures in fiscal 2026 will be $19 million to
$21 million. We expect to fund our capital expenditures with net cash provided by operating activities and cash, cash equivalents, debt
securities, and current equity investments on hand.
In February 2025, we entered into a loan agreement
with the EMI for a revolving credit facility. The aggregate principal amount available under the facility is $2.0 million. The loans
will incur interest at 12% per annum payable semiannually and are due and payable in February 2027. In fiscal 2025, we loaned the EMI
an aggregate of $1.9 million under the revolving credit facility.
In fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, each of the EMIs
shareholders, including us, purchased additional shares of the EMIs convertible preferred stock. We paid an aggregate of $0.9
million and $2.0 million in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively, to purchase additional shares.
Purchases of debt securities and equity investments
were $33.5 million and $29.9 million in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively. Proceeds from maturities and sales of debt securities
and redemptions of equity investments were $36.3 million and $50.1 million in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively.
Financing Activities
In March 2025, our Board of Directors increased our
quarterly cash dividend on our Class A and Class B common stock to $0.06 per share from $0.05 per share. In fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024,
we paid aggregate cash dividends per share of $0.22 and $0.10, respectively, on our Class A and Class B common stock. In fiscal 2025
and fiscal 2024, we paid aggregate cash dividends of $5.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively, on our Class A and Class B common stock.
In September 2025, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on our Class A and Class B common stock of $0.06 per share payable
on or about October 10, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2025.
We distributed cash of $0.1 million and $0.1 million
in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively, to the noncontrolling interests in certain of our subsidiaries.
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 15, 2024, and 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 July 31, 2025
and 2024, there were no amounts outstanding under this facility. In fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, IDT Telecom borrowed and repaid an aggregate
of $24.6 million and $32.9 million, respectively, under the facility. The revolving credit facility is secured by primarily all of IDT
Telecoms 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 Telecoms 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 of 10 basis points on the average daily balance of the unused
portion of the $25.0 million commitment. 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 July 31, 2025, IDT Telecom
was in compliance with all the covenants.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2026 through September
29, 2025, IDT Telecom borrowed and repaid an aggregate of $12.7 million under the facility.
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, and Bill Pereira was granted 50,000 shares of net2phone 2.0 Class B common stock. We repurchased
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 addition, in connection with the vesting of restricted shares of NRS Class B common stock on June 1,
2024, we repurchased a portion of the shares representing an aggregate of 0.17% of the outstanding shares of NRS with an aggregate fair
value of $0.6 million to satisfy the grantees tax withholding obligations in connection with the lapsing of restrictions on restricted
stock.
In fiscal 2024, 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. There were no stock option exercises
in fiscal 2025.
| 56 | |
| | |
We have an existing stock repurchase program authorized
by our Board of Directors for the repurchase of shares of our ClassB common stock. In January 2016, the Board of Directors authorized
the repurchase of up to 8.0million shares in the aggregate. In fiscal 2025, we repurchased 221,823 shares of our Class B common
stock for an aggregate purchase price of $10.1 million, and in fiscal 2024, we repurchased 298,421 shares of Class B common stock for
an aggregate purchase price of $9.1 million. At July 31, 2025, 4.2 million shares remained available for repurchase under the stock repurchase
program.
In fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, we paid $7.7 million
and $1.5 million, respectively, to repurchase 157,180 and 41,994 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 April 2025, we exchanged an aggregate of 8,589
shares of our Class B common stock with a value of $0.4 million for shares of NRS Class B common stock that were held by employees
of NRS representing an aggregate of 0.09% of NRS outstanding shares. In June 2024, we exchanged an aggregate of 12,267 shares
of our Class B common stock with a value of $0.4 million for shares of NRS Class B common stock that were held by employees of
NRS representing an aggregate of 0.09% of NRS outstanding 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.
Other Sources and Uses of Resources
From time to time, we consider spin-offs and other
potential dispositions of certain of our subsidiaries. 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 a transaction 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 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
about Market Risks.
Foreign Currency Risk
Revenues from our international operations were 21%,
23%, and 28% of our consolidated revenues in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 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 for strategic and speculative purposes. At July 31, 2025 and 2024, the value of our debt and equity security holdings was
an aggregate of $33.9 million and $35.0 million, respectively, which represented 5% and 6% of our total assets at July 31, 2025 and 2024,
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.

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as
of July31, 2025.
Report of Management on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
We, the management of IDT Corporation and subsidiaries
(the Company), are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting of the
Company.
The Companys internal control over financial
reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by,
or under the supervision of, the Companys principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Companys
board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of the Companys financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that:
| 
1. | Pertain to the maintenance of records that
in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets
of the Company; | |
| 
2. | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
Company;and | |
| 
3. | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention
or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Companys
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. | |
Management has assessed the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting as of July31, 2025. In making this assessment, the Companys management
used the criteria established in *Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Under the supervision and with the participation
of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our internal
control over financial reporting, as prescribed above, as of July 31, 2025. Based on our evaluation, our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer concluded that the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2025
was effective based on the criteria established in the *Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by COSO.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control
over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate.
Grant Thornton LLP has provided an attestation report
on the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
IDT Corporation
Opinion on internal control over financial reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial
reporting of IDT Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the Company) as of July 31, 2025, based on criteria
established in the 2013 *Internal ControlIntegrated Framework* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control
over financial reporting as of July 31, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 *Internal ControlIntegrated Framework*
issued by COSO.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements of the
Company as of and for the year ended July 31, 2025, and our report dated September 29, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on those
financial statements.
Basis for opinion
The Companys management is responsible for
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting
firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness
of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and limitations of internal control
over financial reporting
A companys internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,
use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control
over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

IDT
Corporation
Opinion
on the financial statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of IDT Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the Company)
as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended July 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial
statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Company as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended July 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We
also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB),
the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 *Internal
ControlIntegrated Framework* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO),
and our report dated September 29, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion.
Basis
for opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Companys consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits
included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud,
and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
audit matters
Critical
audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be
communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and
(2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

have served as the Companys auditor since 2020.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
1Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description
of Business
IDT is a provider of fintech and communications solutions focused on certain under-served consumer and B2B markets.
Our offerings were built around, and continue to leverage, a common core of strategic assets, and we seek to maximize the synergies among
them to achieve exceptional growth and profitability.
As
of July 31, 2025, 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 81.6% of the outstanding shares of NRS. On a fully diluted basis assuming all the
vesting criteria related to various rights granted have been met, the Company would own 90.1% of the equity of net2phone 2.0 and 79.5%
of the equity of NRS.
Basis
of Consolidation
The
method of accounting applied to long-term investments, whether consolidated, equity or cost, involves an evaluation of the significant
terms of each investment that explicitly grant or suggest evidence of control or influence over the operations of the entity in which
the Company owns an interest and includes the identification of any variable interests in which the Company is the primary beneficiary.
The consolidated financial statements include the Companys controlled subsidiaries and the variable interest entity in which the
Company is the primary beneficiary (see Note 12). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the consolidated entities
are eliminated.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.
GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
From
and after August 1, 2024, the Company reclassified certain customer funds for pending money transfers in its consolidated financial statements.
In the consolidated balance sheet at July 31, 2024, $8.9 million previously included in Settlement liabilities was reclassified
to Customer funds deposits, and in the consolidated statements of cash flows in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, cash provided
by Trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, settlement liabilities, other current liabilities, and other liabilities of
$1.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively, was reclassified to cash used in Customer funds deposits. These amounts were
reclassified to conform to the current years presentation.
Accounting
for Investments
Investments
in businesses that the Company does not control, but in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating
and financial matters, are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise
significant influence over operating and financial matters are accounted for using the cost method. Investments in hedge funds are accounted
for using the equity method unless the Companys interest is so minor that it has virtually no influence over operating and financial
policies, in which case these investments are accounted for using the cost method. The Company periodically evaluates its equity and
cost method investments for impairment due to declines considered to be other than temporary. If the Company determines that a decline
in fair value is other than temporary, then a charge to earnings is recorded in Other expense, net in the accompanying
consolidated statements of income, and a new basis in the investment is established.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, in accordance with a five-step process as follows:
(i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract(s), (iii) determine the transaction
price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s), and (v) recognize revenue when, or as,
the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Direct
Cost of Revenues
Direct
cost of revenues consists primarily of termination and origination costs, toll-free costs, and network costsincluding customer/carrier
interconnect charges and fiber circuit charges. These costs include an estimate of charges for which invoices have not yet been received
and estimated amounts for pending disputes with other carriers. Direct cost of revenues also includes the cost of airtime top-up minutes,
the cost of NRS POS terminals sold, the costs of cloud computing arrangements hosted by a vendor in the production environment
incurred by the net2phone segment and NRS, net2phones colocation costs for data centers where net2phone is not fully operational
in the cloud, net2phones cost of equipment sold, and commissions paid to disbursement agents, sales agents, and retailers for
BOSS Moneys originations and distributions.
| F-8 | |
| | |
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Debt
Securities
The
Companys investments in debt securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale debt securities
are required to be carried at their fair value, with unrealized gains that are considered temporary in nature recorded in Accumulated
other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized
losses, the portion of the unrealized loss that is the result of a credit loss is recognized as an allowance and a corresponding expense
is recorded in Other expense, net in the consolidated statement of income, and unrealized loss that is not the result of
a credit loss is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets.
The
Company uses the specific identification method in computing the gross realized gains and gross realized losses on the sales of debt
securities.

in equity securities (except those accounted for under the equity method or that result in consolidation) are measured at fair value,
with changes in fair value recognized in net income. For investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value,
the Company elects the measurement alternative and measures these investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting
from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. At each reporting date,
the Company reassesses whether the investment still qualifies for this measurement alternative. Further, at each reporting date, the
Company performs a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether the investment is impaired. If the qualitative assessment indicates that
the investment is impaired and the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value, the carrying amount of the investment
will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in Other expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of
income in the period the impairment is identified.
Settlement
Assets and Settlement Liabilities
Settlement
assets represent funds to be received for unsettled international money remittance and related value/payment transfer services. The receivables
are due from financial institutions and agents for payment instruments sold and amounts advanced by the Company to certain agents for
operational and local regulatory purposes. These receivables are outstanding from the day of the sale of the payment instrument until
the financial institution or agent remits the funds to the Company. The Company provides an allowance for the portion of the receivable
estimated to become uncollectible based on its history of collection experience, known collection issues, consumer credit card chargebacks
and insufficient funds, and other matters the Company identifies in its routine collection monitoring.
Settlement
liabilities represent obligations relating to amounts payable under international money remittance and related value/payment transfer
services. These obligations are recognized by the Company at the time the underlying transaction occurs. The Company records corresponding
settlement assets for the funds to be received.
Disbursement
Prefunding
The
Company maintains relationships with disbursement partners in various countries for its BOSS Money and IDT Digital Payments services.
The Company maintains prefunding balances with these disbursement partners, so they can satisfy the Companys customer liabilities.
The Company does not earn interest on these balances. The balances are not compensating balances and are not legally restricted.
*Inventory*
**
Inventory
consists of NRS POS terminals that it sells to retailers. Inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion,
disposal, and transportation. Inventory is included in Other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Property,
Plant, and Equipment and Intangible Assets
Equipment,
computer software, and furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated
useful lives, which are as follows: equipment5 and 7 years; computer software3 years; and furniture and fixtures5
years. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of their lease or their
estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter.
| F-9 | |
| | |
Non-compete
agreements, customer relationships, and tradenames are amortized over their estimated useful lives (see Note 11).
The
Company tests the recoverability of its property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets with finite useful lives whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company tests for recoverability
based on the projected undiscounted cash flows to be derived from such asset. If the projected undiscounted future cash flows are less
than the carrying value of the asset, the Company will record an impairment loss, if any, based on the difference between the estimated
fair value and the carrying value of the asset. The Company generally measures fair value by considering sale prices for similar assets
or by discounting estimated future cash flows from such asset using an appropriate discount rate. Cash flow projections and fair value
estimates require significant estimates and assumptions by management. Should the estimates and assumptions prove to be incorrect, the
Company may be required to record impairments in future periods and such impairments could be material.
Goodwill
Goodwill
is the excess of the consideration paid for a business over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill and other
indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized. Instead, these assets are reviewed annually (or more frequently under various conditions)
for impairment. The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative
goodwill impairment test. However, the Company may elect to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test even if no indications
of a potential impairment exist.
When
performing its quantitative annual, or an interim (when conditions warrant), goodwill impairment test the Company compares the fair value
of its reporting units with their carrying amounts. The Company would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying
amount exceeds the reporting units fair value; however, the loss recognized would not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated
to that reporting unit. Additionally, the Company considers income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount
of its reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The fair value of the reporting units is estimated
using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as considering third party market value indicators. The Companys use of a discounted
cash flow methodology includes estimates of future revenue based upon budgets and projections. The Company also develops estimates for
future levels of gross and operating profits and projected capital expenditures. The Companys methodology also includes the use
of estimated discount rates based upon industry and competitor analysis as well as other factors. Calculating the fair value of the reporting
units requires significant estimates and assumptions by management. Should the estimates and assumptions regarding the fair value of
the reporting units prove to be incorrect, the Company may be required to record impairments to its goodwill in future periods and such
impairments could be material.
Advertising
Expense
Cost
of advertising is charged to selling, general and administrative expense in the period in which it is incurred. In fiscal 2025, fiscal
2024, and fiscal 2023, advertising expense was $20.9 million, $19.0 million, and $17.9 million, respectively.
Capitalized
Internal Use Software Costs
The
Company capitalizes the cost of internal-use software that has a useful life in excess of one year. These
costs consist of payments made to third parties and the salaries of employees working on such software development. Subsequent additions,
modifications or upgrades to internal-use software are capitalized only to the extent that they allow the software to perform a task
it previously did not perform. Software maintenance and training costs are charged to expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Capitalized internal use software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense
related to such capitalized software in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023 was $13.2
million, $12.8
million, and $13.2
million, respectively. Unamortized capitalized internal use
software costs at July 31, 2025 and 2024 were $18.5 million and $18.6
million, respectively.
Repairs
and Maintenance
The
Company charges the cost of repairs and maintenance, including the cost of replacing minor items not constituting substantial betterment,
to selling, general and administrative expense or technology and development expense as these costs are incurred.
Foreign
Currency Translation
Assets
and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. Dollars at end-of-period rates of exchange,
and their monthly results of operations are translated to U.S. Dollars at the average rates of exchange for that month. Gains or losses
resulting from such foreign currency translations are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reported in Other expense, net in the accompanying
consolidated statements of income.
| F-10 | |
| | |
Income
Taxes
The
Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between
the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is
provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization
of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the period in which related temporary differences become
deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning
strategies in its assessment of a valuation allowance. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected
to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred
tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of such change.
The
Company uses a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company
determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related
appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold, the Company presumes that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge
of all relevant information. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured to determine the amount
of tax benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater
than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts
recognized in the financial statements will generally result in one or more of the following: an increase in a liability for income taxes
payable, a reduction of an income tax refund receivable, a reduction in a deferred tax asset, or an increase in a deferred tax liability.
The
Company classifies interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense.
Contingencies
The
Company accrues for loss contingencies when both (a) information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that
it is probable that a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (b) the amount of loss can reasonably be
estimated. When the Company accrues for loss contingencies and the reasonable estimate of the loss is within a range, the Company records
its best estimate within the range. When no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the
minimum amount in the range. The Company discloses an estimated possible loss or a range of loss when it is at least reasonably possible
that a loss may have been incurred.
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 determined
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 Companys
common stockholders consists of the following:

Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company recognizes compensation expense for its grants of stock-based awards based on the estimated fair value on the grant date. Compensation
cost for awards is recognized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period, which is usually the vesting period.
Stock-based compensation is included in selling, general and administrative expense and technology and development expense.

Vulnerability
Due to Certain Concentrations
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, restricted
cash and cash equivalents, debt securities, equity investments, and trade accounts receivable. The Company holds cash and cash equivalents
at several major financial institutions, which often exceed FDIC insurance limits. Historically, the Company has not experienced any
losses due to such concentration of credit risk. The Companys temporary cash investments policy is to limit the dollar amount
of investments with any one financial institution and monitor the credit ratings of those institutions. While the Company may be exposed
to credit losses due to the nonperformance of the holders of its deposits, the Company does not expect the settlement of these transactions
to have a material effect on its results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
The
concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of customers in various geographic
regions and industry segments comprising the Companys customer base. Revenue from no single customer accounted for more than 10%
of consolidated revenues in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 or fiscal 2023. However, revenue from the Companys five largest customers
collectively accounted for 8.9%,
10.3%,
and 10.8%
of its consolidated revenues in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and
fiscal 2023, respectively. The Companys customers with the five largest receivable balances collectively accounted for 20.4%
and 22.7%
of the consolidated gross trade accounts receivable at July
31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This concentration of customers increases the Companys risk associated with nonpayment by those
customers. In an effort to reduce such risk, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its significant customers.
Allowance
for Credit Losses
For
its allowance for trade accounts receivable, the Company records an expense based on a forward-looking current expected credit loss model
to maintain its allowance for credit losses. The Company considers the probability of recoverability of accounts receivable based on
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 are 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.
The
changes in the allowance and reserves deducted from asset accounts is as follows:

Fair
Value Measurements
Fair
value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three-tier
hierarchy for inputs used to measure fair value, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, is
as follows:
| 
Level
1 | 
| 
quoted
prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
| 
Level
2 | 
| 
quoted
prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. | |
| 
Level
3 | 
| 
unobservable
inputs based on the Companys assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. | |
A
financial asset or liabilitys classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant
to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment
and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.
Leases
The
Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the arrangement based on the terms and conditions in the contract.
A contract contains a lease if there is an identified asset which the Company has the right to control. The Company records a right-of-use
(ROU) asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet on the lease commencement date for all leases with terms longer
than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition
in the income statement. The ROU asset and lease liability are recorded based on the present value of the Companys obligation
to make payments over the lease term. The present value of the lease payments is calculated using the incremental borrowing rate based
on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis
over a similar term. The Company recognizes lease cost for its leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Recently
Adopted Accounting Standard
As
of May 1, 2025, the Company adopted ASU No. 2023-08, *Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto
Assets (Subtopic 350-60)*, *Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets*, that changed 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 does not hold, nor has it held during the period presented, any significant amounts of cryptocurrency
or other digital assets and as such, the adoption of this ASU did not impact the Companys
results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2023-07, *Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures*,
which enhances reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through disclosures of significant segment expenses. The Company
adopted the new guidance in its annual financial statements for its fiscal year ended July 31, 2025. The adoption of this ASU did not
have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements but required additional disclosures.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standard Not Yet Adopted
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU
2025-06 Intangibles Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the
Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which simplifies the capitalization guidance by removing all references to software development
project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. The amendments in this ASU are effective for
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with
early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update permit an entity to apply the new guidance using a prospective, retrospective
or modified transition approach. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on its consolidated
financial statements.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, *Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive
Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)*, to improve the disclosures about an entitys expenses including
more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. At each interim and annual reporting period,
entities will disclose in tabular format disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying relevant income statement
captions, as well as the total amount of selling expense and a description of the composition of its selling expense. The Company will
adopt the amendments in this ASU for its fiscal year beginning on August 1, 2027. The Company is evaluating the impact that this ASU
will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, *Income Taxes
(Topic 740)*, *Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*, which enhances income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation
and income taxes paid information. This guidance also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures.
This guidance will be effective for the Company in its annual financial statements for its fiscal year ended 2026 and should be applied
on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. The amendments in this update do not change interim disclosure requirements.
The Company is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Note
2Business Segment Information
The
Companys reportable segments are distinguished by types of service, customers, and methods used to provide their services. The
operating results of the business segments are regularly reviewed by the Companys chief operating decision maker (CODM),
which is a group of the Companys executives that includes the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer. The Companys CODM uses actual and budgeted income (loss) from operations to evaluate
the performance of the business segments and allocate resources, including capital allocations, primarily by monitoring actual results compared to prior periods and
expected results. 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.
| F-13 | |
| | |

Note
3Revenue Recognition
Contracts
with Customers
The
Company earns revenue from contracts with customers, primarily through the provision of retail telecommunications and payment offerings
as well as wholesale international voice and SMS termination. BOSS Money, NRS, and net2phone are technology-driven, synergistic businesses
that leverage the Companys core assets. BOSS Moneys and NRS revenues are primarily recognized at a point in time,
and net2phones revenue is mainly recognized over time. Traditional Communications offerings are mostly minute-based, paid-voice
communications services, and revenue is primarily recognized at a point in time. The Companys most significant revenue streams
are from IDT Digital Payments, BOSS Revolution, and IDT Global. IDT Digital Payments and BOSS Revolution are sold direct-to-consumers
and through distributors and retailers.
| F-15 | |
| | |
**
IDT
Digital Payments
IDT
Digital Payments is sold direct-to-consumer and through distributors and retailers in the same manner as BOSS Revolution (see below).
The Company does not terminate the minutes in its IDT Digital Payments transactions. The Companys performance obligation is to
recharge (top-up) the airtime balance of a mobile account on behalf of the Companys customer. The Company has contracts with various
mobile operators or aggregators to provide the IDT Digital Payments service. The Company determined that it is the principal in primarily
all its IDT Digital Payments transactions as the Company controls the service to top-up a mobile account on behalf of the Companys
customer. However, for the portion of its IDT Digital Payments business where the Company has no customer service responsibilities, no
inventory risk, and does not establish the price, the Company determined that, as the Company is not considered to control the arrangement,
it acts as an agent of the mobile operators. The Company records gross revenues based on the amount billed to the customer when it is
the principal in the arrangement and records revenue net of the associated costs incurred when it acts as an agent in the arrangement.
The transfer of control happens at the point in time that the airtime is recharged, which is when the Company has a right to payment
and the customer has accepted the service. Accordingly, the performance obligation is satisfied, and revenue is recognized when the recharge
of the mobile account occurs.
BOSS
Revolution direct-to-consumer
BOSS
Revolution direct-to-consumer is offered on a pay-as-you-go basis or in unlimited plans. The customer prepays for service in both cases,
which results in a contract liability (deferred revenue). The contract term for pay-as-you-go plans is minute-to-minute and includes
separate performance obligations for the series of material rights to renew the contract. The performance obligation is satisfied immediately
after it arises, and the amount of consideration is known when the obligation is satisfied. Since the Companys satisfaction of
its performance obligation and the customers use of the service occur simultaneously, the Company recognizes revenue at the point
in time when minutes are utilized, since the customer obtained control and the Company has a present right to payment. For unlimited
plans, the Company has a stand-ready obligation to provide service over time for an agreed upon term. Unlimited plans include fixed consideration
over the term. Plan fees for unlimited plans are generally refundable at the request of the customer up to three days after payment if
there was no usage. Since the Companys satisfaction of its performance obligation and the customers use of the service
occur over the term of the plan, the Company recognizes revenue over a period of time as the service is rendered. The Company uses an
output method as time elapses because it reflects the pattern by which the Company satisfies its performance obligation through the transfer
of service to the customer. The fixed upfront consideration is recognized evenly over the service period, which is generally 24 hours,
7 days, or one month.
BOSS
Revolution sold through distributors and retailers
BOSS
Revolution sold through distributors and retailers is the same service as BOSS Revolution sold direct-to-consumer. The Company sells
capacity to international calling minutes to retailers, or to distributors who resell to retailers. The retailer or distributor is the
Companys customer in these transactions. The Companys sales price to retailers and distributors, net of discounts, is less
than the end user rate for BOSS Revolution minutes. The customer or the Company may terminate their agreement at any time upon thirty
days written notice without penalty. Retailers may sell BOSS Revolution on a pay-as-you-go basis or in unlimited plans. As described
above, for pay-as-you-go, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when minutes are utilized, and for unlimited plans, the
Company recognizes revenue over a period of time as the service is rendered. Retailers and distributors also receive initial commissions
upon sale to end users, and renewal commissions when certain end users subsequently purchase minutes directly from the Company. Initial
and renewal commission payments are accounted for as a reduction of the transaction price over time as the end user uses the service.
IDT
Global
IDT
Global services are offered to both postpaid and prepaid customers. Postpaid customers are billed in arrears and typically consist of
credit-worthy companies such as Tier 1 carriers and mobile network operators. Prepaid customers are typically smaller communications
companies and independent call aggregators. There is no performance obligation until the transport and termination of international long-distance
calls commences. The initial contract durations range from six months to one year, and generally have successive extensions. During the
initial term, the contract can only be terminated in certain instances (such as bankruptcy of either party, damage to the other partys
network, fraud, or breach of contract). However, no penalties are applied if the agreement is terminated in the initial term. After the
initial term has expired, either party may terminate the agreement with notice of 30 days to 60 days depending on the agreement. The
term of the contract is essentially minute-to-minute as there is no penalty for an early termination and no obligation to send traffic.
Each
iteration is a separate optional purchase that occurs over the contract duration (that is, minute-by-minute). The satisfaction of the
performance obligation is occurring at a point in time (as the minutes are transferred) because the provision of the service and the
satisfaction of the performance obligation are essentially occurring simultaneously. Revenue is recognized at the point in time upon
delivery of the service.
| F-16 | |
| | |
The
Company has not generally entered into contracts that have retroactive pricing features. Additionally, as the performance obligations
are considered minute-by-minute obligations in the original contract, any modification of the original contract that leads to a conclusion
that there is a new contract would not result in any adjustment related to the original contracts consideration.
The
Company provides discounts to its larger customers based on the expectation of a significant volume of minutes that are consistent with
that class of customer in the wholesale carrier market. The discounts do not provide a material right to the customer because the customer
receives the same pricing for all usage under the contract.
IDT
Globals contracts may include tiered pricing based on minute volumes. The Company determined that its retroactive tiered pricing
should be accounted for as variable consideration because the final transaction price is unknown until the customer completes or fails
to complete the specified threshold. Currently, contracts with retroactive tiered pricing are not material. The Company estimates the
amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a subsequent change
in the estimate would not result in a significant revenue reversal.
The
Company enters into Notification of Reciprocal Transmission (NORT) transactions, in which the Company commits to purchase
a specific number of wholesale carrier minutes to specific destinations at specified rates, and the counterparty commits to purchase
from the Company a specific number of minutes to specific destinations at specified rates. The number of minutes purchased and sold is
not necessarily the same. The rates in these reciprocal transactions are generally not at prevailing market rates, and the amounts paid
to the counterparty in excess of market rates are reflected as a reduction in revenue received from the customer. In addition, the Company
enters into transactions in which it swaps minutes with another carrier. The Company recognizes revenue and the related direct cost of
revenue for these reciprocal and swap transactions based on the fair value of the minutes.
IDT
Globals NORT contracts include the promise of minimum guaranteed amounts of traffic. The performance obligation represents a stand
ready obligation to provide the specified number of minutes over the contractual term. The initial terms of NORT contracts generally
range from one month to six months. Since the Companys satisfaction of its performance obligation of routing calls to their destination
includes a minimum guaranteed amount of traffic, the Company recognizes revenue over a period of time as the service is rendered. The
customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Companys performance as the Company performs. The Company
uses an output method as the usage of minutes occur because it reflects the pattern by which the Company satisfies its performance obligation
through the transfer of service to the customer.

*National
Retail Solutions*
NRS
earns revenue from (1) merchant services commissions for the processing of credit and debit card transactions on the POS
terminals, (2) a monthly recurring charge for its software license, software upgrades, and help desk support
(collectively, the Software services), (3) fees for advertising on the POS terminals, (4) sales of the data collected
by the POS terminals to data aggregators and others, and (5) the sale of POS terminals to retailers.
NRS merchant services enable retailers to accept and process
payments made by credit cards, debit cards, electronic benefits transfer, and other forms of electronic payment. Merchant services revenue
includes a monthly fee plus a percentage of the transaction amount plus a flat rate per transaction.There is no separate charge
for the credit card reader provided to the retailers, which remains NRS property and must be returned upon termination of the services.
Merchant services are provided as an agent of the payment processor or funding bank, therefore NRS records revenue net of the associated
costs incurred. The performance obligation is satisfied, and revenue is recognized when the payment is processed.
The retailers use of the credit card reader is a separate
performance obligation that meets the definition of a lease. The lease consideration is included in the merchant services monthly
recurring charge. NRS accounts for the non-lease and lease components as a single performance obligation in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification *Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)*(ASC 606) because the timing and pattern
of transfer of both components is the same, and the non-lease component is the predominant component.
NRS
sells advertising on the POS terminals high-definition screens through internal sales agents, third-party brokers, and real-time
auctions on exchange platforms known as programmatic advertising. For advertising sold through its agents or a broker, as well as for
a portion of its programmatic advertising, NRS is the principal because it is responsible for performing the service by delivering advertisements
according to the customers requirements. For the portion of its programmatic advertising where NRS does not control the ad space
before it is provided to the customer, NRS acts as an agent of the advertising exchange. NRS records gross revenues based on the amount
billed to the customer when it is the principal in the arrangement and records revenue net of the associated costs incurred when it acts
as an agent in the arrangement. The performance obligation is satisfied, and revenue is recognized during the period of time when the
advertisement is broadcast on the POS terminal.
| F-17 | |
| | |
NRS
captures targeted, daily data from the POS terminals that it sells to customers. The performance obligation is the provision of a data
report, generally one report per POS terminal per week, where each report is a distinct good that is not interrelated with another report.
Customers purchase data reports generally for an annual fee per POS terminal. The consideration is variable because it depends on the
number of POS terminals selected. The performance obligation is satisfied, and revenue is recognized, at the point in time when the customer
receives a data report because the customer obtains control and has the benefit of the data. The amount recognized per report is the
same for each report since each report has the same standalone value to the customer.
NRS sells its POS terminals to retailers. The terminals include
a cash register, a barcode scanner, retailer and customer-facing hi-definition screens, a receipt printer, and a credit card reader. The
arrangement with the customer includes the equipment sale including embedded POS software, as well as the Software services. Each hardware
component and the Software services is a separate performance obligation because each is a distinct good or service that can be obtained
from alternate providers. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price
(SSP). The SSP reflects the amount the Company would charge for each performance obligation if it were sold separately in
a standalone sale to similar customers in similar circumstances. The SSP for POS terminals is generally estimated using the cost plus
expected gross margin approach. Equipment revenue is recognized at the point in time when the customer has physical possession of the
POS terminal, which is when the customer can use the POS terminal and embedded software and has the risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue
from the Software services is recognized ratably over the term of the contract because satisfaction of the performance obligation and
the customers use of the service occur evenly over the term.
**
*net2phone*
net2phone
earns revenue primarily through the provision of integrated cloud-based UCaaS and CCaaS
offerings for businesses. The services are priced on
a per-seat basis, and its subscription revenue is a monthly fee per seat. Revenue is primarily recognized over the monthly service
period. Revenue from the sale of telephone equipment is recognized at a point in time when the equipment is delivered to the
customer.
net2phone
leases telephone equipment to certain customers, which is a separate performance obligation that meets the definition of a lease. The
lease consideration is included in the monthly recurring charge. net2phone accounts for the non-lease and lease components as a single
performance obligation in accordance with ASC 606 because the timing and pattern of transfer of both components is the same, and the
non-lease component is the predominant component.
**
*BOSS
Money*
Revenues
from international money transfers are primarily from transaction fees charged to the customer based on the amount sent and the send
and receive locations. In addition, revenues are earned on the foreign currency exchange based on the difference between purchasing currency
at wholesale exchange rates and selling the currency at retail exchange rates. The Company satisfies its international money transfer
performance obligations and recognizes revenue at a point in time when the designated recipient receives the funds, as the Company has
a right to payment and the customer has use of the service.

Accounts
Receivable and Contract Balances
The
timing of revenue recognition may differ from the time of billing to the Companys customers. Trade accounts receivable in the
Companys consolidated balance sheets represent unconditional rights to consideration. The Company records 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.

liabilities arise when the Company receives consideration or bills its customers prior to providing the goods or services promised in
the contract. The Companys contract liability balance is primarily payments received for prepaid BOSS Revolution. Contract liabilities
are recognized as revenue when services are provided to the customer. The contract liability balances are presented in the Companys
consolidated balance sheets as Deferred revenue. The Companys revenue recognized in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and
fiscal 2023 from amounts included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period was $17.5 million, $22.1 million, and
$23.5 million, respectively.
The
Company estimates its expected breakage revenue by revenue stream recorded each month, based on inputs and assumptions about usage of
the deferred revenue balances. The Company used its historical deferred revenue usage data by revenue stream to calculate the percentage
of deferred revenue by month that will become breakage. The historical data indicated that customers utilized a very high percentage
of minutes purchased in the first three months. The Company periodically reviews its estimates based on updated data and adjusts the
monthly estimates accordingly.

contracts with customers for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:

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 Companys
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. Costs to obtain a contract are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of benefit.
The
Companys 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
Companys deferred customer contract acquisition costs were as follows:

Note
4Leases
The
Companys leases primarily consist of operating leases for office space. These leases have remaining terms from less than one year
to approximately five 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.
The Company has also elected to apply the practical expedient
for short-term leases whereby we do not recognize a lease liability or a right-of-use asset for leases with a term of 12 months or less.
The Company recognizes short-term leases on a straight-line basis.

The
gross unrealized losses in the table above are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance
sheets. As of July 31, 2025, 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 July 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 $36.3 million, $50.1 million, and $49.2 million
in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023, respectively. The realized gains and realized losses from sales of debt securities in fiscal
2025 were not significant. There were no realized gains or realized losses from sales of debt securities in fiscal 2024 or fiscal 2023.

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 July 31, 2025 and 2024, the Companys ownership was 33.4% of the EMIs 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.
| F-24 | |
| | |
The
Company determined that on the dates of the acquisitions of the EMIs 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 EMIs
customer list on the dates of the acquisitions attributed to the Companys 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 expense, net
(see Note 17).
As
of April 6, 2023, the Company was the holder of secured promissory notes made by the EMI in exchange for loans of an aggregate of $4.0
million including accrued interest. The notes provided for interest on the principal amount at 15% per annum payable monthly. The notes
were due and payable in February 2023 and April 2023. On April 6, 2023, in accordance with an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
April 5, 2023, the EMI merged with and into its subsidiary, with the subsidiary being the surviving corporation. Effective with the merger,
the principal and accrued interest of the EMIs secured promissory notes was converted into shares of the EMIs convertible
preferred stock.
The
following table summarizes the change in the balance of the Companys equity method investment. The balance as of July 31, 2025 is classified as other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

2027. In fiscal 2025, the Company loaned the EMI an aggregate of $1.9
million under the revolving credit facility.

Options
Option
awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Companys stock on the date of grant. Option
awards generally vest on a graded basis over three years of service and have ten-year contractual terms. No option awards were granted
in fiscal 2024 or fiscal 2023. The fair value of stock options granted in fiscal 2025 was estimated on the date of the grant using a
Black-Scholes valuation model and the assumptions in the following table. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the
Companys Class B common stock and other factors. The Company uses historical data on exercise of stock options, post vesting forfeitures
and other factors to estimate the expected term of the stock options. The risk free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in
effect at the time of grant.

to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.8 years. The total grant date fair value of shares vested in fiscal 2025, fiscal

Deferred
Stock Units Equity Incentive Programs
The
Company has an equity incentive program in the form of grants of DSUs that, upon vesting, will entitle the grantees to receive shares
of the Companys Class B common stock. The number of shares issuable on each vesting date varies between 50% to 200% of the number
of DSUs that vested 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 Companys Board of Directors, which is based on the market price
at the time of the grants. In fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023, in accordance with the program and based on certain elections
made by grantees, the Company issued 276,960; 55,039; and 43,278 shares, respectively, of its Class B common stock for vested DSUs. The
Company estimated that the fair value of the DSUs on the date of grants was an aggregate of $0.8 million, $0.8 million, and $5.4 million
in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023, respectively, which is being recognized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service
periods. The Company uses a risk neutral Monte Carlo simulation method in its valuation of the DSUs, which simulates the range of possible
future values of the Companys Class B common stock over the life of the DSUs.

At
July 31, 2025, there was $0.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested DSUs, which is expected to be recognized
over a weighted-average period of 0.9 years. The total grant date fair value of DSUs vested in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023
was $4.3 million, $1.1 million, and $0.9 million, respectively.
On September 18, 2025, the Company adopted
the IDT 2025 Equity Growth Program (under its 2024 Equity Incentive Plan) in the form of grants of DSUs that, upon vesting, will entitle
the grantees to receive shares of the Companys Class B common stock. On September 18, 2025, the Company granted 108,500 DSUs to
certain of its executive officers and other employees. Subject to continued full time employment or other service to the Company, the
DSUs will be eligible to vest in three substantially equal amounts on each of February 17, 2026, February 16, 2027, and February 15,
2028. The number of shares that will be issuable on each vesting date will vary between 50% to 267% 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 grant price
of $50.90 per share (the price that was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Directors). For certain
executive officers of the Company, the number of shares that will be issuable on each vesting date will vary between 50% to 400% of the
number of DSUs that vest on that vesting date. In addition, the grantee will have the option to elect a later vesting date no later than
January 19, 2026 for the February 17, 2026 vesting date, and no later than January 18, 2027 for the February 16, 2027 vesting date. A
grantee will have the option to elect a later vesting date for one-half or all of the DSUs scheduled to vest on the then upcoming vesting
date and any DSUs that do not vest based on the grantees election will be eligible to vest on the subsequent scheduled vesting
date. The Company is currently in the process of determining the estimated fair value of these grants, which will be recognized in compensation
expense over the respective vesting periods.

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 Companys 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 Companys 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.
In fiscal 2024, two of these milestones were achieved, for which the Company issued to Mr. Pereira 39,155 shares of its Class B common
stock in fiscal 2024 with an issue date value of $1.5 million, and 39,155 shares of its Class B common stock in fiscal 2025 with an issue
date value of $1.8 million. In addition, in fiscal 2025, the Company accrued $1.0 million in connection with the achievement of an additional
milestone. In fiscal 2024, the Company accrued aggregate stock-based compensation expense of $4.1 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.
Stock
Issued to an Employee
In
fiscal 2023, the Company granted 15,000 shares of its Class B common stock to an employee. The Company recorded stock-based compensation
expense and an increase in Additional paid-in capital of $0.4 million for this grant, which was the fair value of the shares
on the grant date.
NRS
Restricted Common Stock
Effective
as of June 30, 2022, restricted shares of NRS Class B common stock representing 1.2% of its outstanding capital stock on a fully
diluted basis were granted to certain NRS employees. The restrictions on the shares will lapse in three installments, the first was on
June 1, 2024, and the others are June 1, 2026, and June 1, 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 July 31, 2025, unrecognized compensation cost related to NRS
non-vested Class B common stock was an aggregate of $1.2 million. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over
the remaining vesting period that ends in fiscal 2027.
In
connection with the vesting of the restricted shares of NRS Class B common stock on June 1, 2024, the Company repurchased a portion of
the shares representing an aggregate of 0.17% of the outstanding shares of NRS with an aggregate fair value of $0.6 million to satisfy
the grantees tax withholding obligations in connection with the lapsing of restrictions on restricted stock. The fair value per
share of the NRS Class B common stock was based on a valuation of the total equity of NRS using a market approach and income approach.
The Company recorded a decrease in Noncontrolling interests of $21,000 and a decrease in Additional paid-in capital
of $0.6 million, and an offsetting income tax withholding liability of $0.6 million.
net2phone
2.0, Inc. Restricted Common Stock
On
December 31, 2020, a compensatory arrangement with each of Howard S. Jonas and Shmuel Jonas, the Companys Chief Executive Officer,
was finalized. Howard S. Jonas and Shmuel Jonas each received 0.5 million restricted shares of net2phone 2.0s Class B common stock,
which represented an aggregate of 10% of net2phone 2.0s issued and outstanding common stock at the time of the grant. The shares
entitle each grantee to proceeds only on a sale, spin-off, initial public offering, or other monetization of net2phone 2.0 and have protection
from dilution for the first $15 million invested in net2phone 2.0 following the grant. In January 2024, the restrictions lapsed on these
restricted shares. 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 repurchased 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 $3.6 million, and
an offsetting income tax withholding liability of $3.6 million.

22Commitments and Contingencies
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 (the Court of Chancery) 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 Paths 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 Paths obligations under the Consent Decree it entered into
with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as well as the sale of Straight Paths subsidiary Straight
Path IP Group, Inc. to the Company in connection with that settlement. 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 Paths 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. The trial was held in August
and December 2022. On October 3, 2023, the Court of Chancery issued a Memorandum Decision (the Post-Trial Decision)
dismissing all claims against the Company, and finding that, contrary to the plaintiffs allegations, the class suffered no
damages. The Court of Chancery denied
plaintiffs request for attorneys fees (the Attorneys Fee Decision). On December 16, 2024, the
Court of Chancery issued a Final Order and Judgment, embodying the Post-Trial Decision and Attorneys Fee Decision. On January
14, 2025, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the Final Order and Judgment to the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware to
appeal the Final Order and Judgment. On April 22, 2025, the Company filed its answering brief to the appeal. Oral argument is
scheduled for October 2025.
In fiscal 2025, the Company recorded
an aggregate expense of $4.0 million in Other operating expense, net in the consolidated statement of income related
to the settlement of litigation, of which $1.6 million was included in Corporate and $2.4 million was included in the NRS segment.
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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys operations, and if such changes
were made it could materially and adversely affect the Companys business, financial position, and operating results.
Regulatory
Fees Audit
The
Companys 2017 FCC Form 499-A, which reported its calendar year 2016 revenue, was audited by the Universal Service Administrative
Company (USAC). The USACs final decision imposed a $2.9 million charge on the Company for the Federal Telecommunications
Relay Service (TRS) Fund. The Company has appealed the USACs 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 July 31, 2025 and 2024, the Companys accrued
expenses included $21.1 million and $25.9 million, respectively, for FCC-related regulatory fees for the year covered by the audit, as
well as prior and subsequent years.
