Deferred Customer Contract Acquisition and Fulfillment Costs

The Company recognizes as an asset its incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer that it expects to recover. The Company’s incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer are sales commissions paid to employees and third parties on sales to end users. If the amortization period were one year or less for the asset that would be paid at closing, subjectrecognized from deferring these costs, the Company applies the practical expedient whereby the Company charges these costs to adjustments relating toexpense when incurred. For net2phone sales, the Company defers these costs and amortizes them over the expected customer assets of IDTFS. The net asset value of IDTFS was $14.5 million at January 31, 2018. A portion of the purchase price will be placed in escrow at closing and released to IDT Telecom once all of the conditions have been met under the Share Purchase Agreement. The salerelationship period when it is expected to close in the second quarter of calendar 2018, subjectexceed one year.

The Company’s costs to regulatory approval and other customary conditions set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement. The remaining closing conditions are outside of the Company’s control and there can be no assurance that the sale will be completed.

The pending disposition of IDTFS Holding didfulfill its contracts do not meet the criteria to be reportedrecognized as a discontinued operation and accordingly, its resultsan asset, therefore these costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Equity Method Investment

On February 2, 2021, the Company paid $4.0 million to purchase shares of Series B convertible preferred stock of a communications company (the equity method investee, or “EMI”), and on August 10, 2021, the Company paid $1.1 million to purchase shares of the EMI’s Series C convertible preferred stock and additional shares of the EMI’s Series B convertible preferred stock. The initial shares purchased represented 23.95% of the outstanding shares of the EMI on an as converted basis. The subsequent purchases increased the Company’s ownership to 26.57% on an as converted basis.

The Company accounted for this investment using the equity method since the Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock were in-substance common stock, and the Company could exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the EMI.

As of July 31, 2022, the Company was the holder of secured promissory notes made by the EMI in exchange for loans of an aggregate of $2.5 million, which increased to an aggregate of $4.0 million including accrued interest as of April 6, 2023. 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 EMI has no common stock outstanding, each share of the EMI’s convertible preferred stock was converted into shares of the subsidiary’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“EMI Preferred Stock”), and the principal and accrued interest of the EMI’s secured promissory notes was converted into shares of EMI Preferred Stock (the “Conversions”). In addition, each of the EMI’s shareholders agreed to purchase additional shares of EMI Preferred Stock, for which the Company paid $0.2 million in April 2023 and $0.7 million in May 2023 to purchase the additional shares. Following the merger, the Conversions, and the purchases of additional shares of EMI Preferred Stock, the Company’s ownership increased to 33.3% of the EMI’s outstanding shares.

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 it does not have a controlling interest.

16

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

Note 7— 14— Earnings (Loss) Per Share

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

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

The changes in the estimated effective January 1, 2018, requires companiestax rate were mainly due to paystock-based compensation and differences in the amount of taxable income earned in the various taxing jurisdictions.

On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued StaffNote 20—Recently Issued Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), expressing its views regardingStandards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)’s, issued Accounting Standards Codification 740,Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-03, Income TaxesFair Value Measurement (Topic 820), inFair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, that clarifies that a contractual restriction on the reporting period that includes the enactment datesale of an equity security is not considered part of the Tax Act. SAB 118 recognizes that a registrant’s reviewunit of certain income tax effectsaccount of the Tax Act may be incomplete at the time financial statements are issued for the reporting period that includes the enactment date, including interim periods therein. Specifically, SAB 118 allows a company to report provisional estimates in the reporting period that includes the enactment date if the company does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or fully analyzed for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. The provisional estimates would be adjusted during a measurement period not to exceed 12 months from the enactment date of the Tax Act, at which time the accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act is required to be completed.

15

As of January 31, 2018, the Company had not completed its accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act; however, the Company had made a reasonable estimate of the effect on its existing AMT credit carryover. Because the AMT credit will be refundable if not utilized in the next four years, the Company reversed the valuation allowance that offset the AMT credit. As a result, in the three months ended January 31, 2018, the Company recorded a noncurrent receivableequity security and, an income tax benefit of $3.3 million for the anticipated refund. The reduction in the corporate tax ratetherefore, is not expectedconsidered in measuring fair value. The ASU also requires specific disclosures related to impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position in the foreseeable future because the income tax benefit from the reduced tax rate will be offset by the valuation allowance.

The transition tax is based on total post-1986 earnings and profits which were previously deferred from U.S. income taxes. The Company expects to utilize net operating loss carryforwards to offset any transition taxequity securities that it may incur. Therefore the Company did not record any provisional income tax expense for the transition tax for its foreign subsidiaries. At January 31, 2018, the undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries continued to be permanently reinvested and the Company does not intend to repatriate any of the amounts. As a result, the Company has not provided for additional income or withholding taxes for the undistributed earnings or for any additional outside basis differences with respect to the foreign entities. The Company continues to review the anticipated impacts of the global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) and base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”), which are not effective until August 1, 2018. The Company has not recorded any impact associated with either GILTI or BEAT in the three months ended January 31, 2018.

The Company anticipates that its assumptions and estimates may change as a result of future guidance and interpretation from the Internal Revenue Service, the SEC, the FASB, and various other taxing jurisdictions. In particular, the Company anticipates that the U.S. state jurisdictions will continue to determine and announce their conformity or decoupling from the Tax Act, either in its entirety or with respect to specific provisions. Legislative and interpretive actions could result in adjustments to the Company’s provisional estimates when the accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act is completed. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the Tax Act on its financial statements, and will record the effect of any reasonable changes in its estimates and adjustments.

Elmion Netherlands B.V. Deferred Tax Assets

In the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Company determined that its valuation allowance on the losses of Elmion Netherlands B.V., a Netherlands subsidiary, was no longer required due to an internal reorganization that generated income and a projection of income in future periods. The Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $16.6 million in the six months ended January 31, 2017 from the full recognition of the Elmion Netherlands B.V. deferred tax assets.

New Jersey Corporation Business Tax

In September 2017, the Company, IDT Domestic Telecom, Inc. (a subsidiary of the Company) and certain other affiliates, were certified by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority as having met all of the requirements of the Grow New Jersey Assistance Act Tax Credit Program. The corporation business tax credits to be received are a maximum of $21.1 million. The Company may claim a tax credit each tax year for ten years beginning in 2017. The tax credit can be applied to 100% of the Company’s New Jersey tax liability each year, and the unused amount of the annual credit can be carried forward. In addition, the Company may apply for a tax credit transfer certificate to sell unused tax credits to another business. The tax credits must be sold for no less than 75% of the value of the tax credits. The tax credits are subject to reduction, forfeiture and recapture if, among other things, the number of full-time employees declines below the program or statewide minimum.

Note 14—Recently Issued Accounting Standard Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede most of the current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The goals of the revenue recognition project were to clarify and converge the revenue recognition principles under U.S. GAAP and IFRS and to develop guidance that would streamline and enhance revenue recognition requirements. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the standard. The Company expects to adopt this standard on August 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company has identified its main revenue streams, which include Boss Revolution PIN-less international calling revenue, wholesale carrier services revenue, and domestic and international airtime top-up revenue. The Company is currently reviewing contracts and other relevant documents related to its wholesale carrier services revenue to determine how to apply the new standard to this revenue stream. The Company expects to continue its review and evaluation for its other revenue streams in fiscal 2018. Currently, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact that the adoption of the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to provide more information about recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The amendments in the ASU include, among other changes, the following: (1) equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method or that result in consolidation) will be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (2) a qualitative assessment each reporting period to identify impairment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values, (3) financial assets and financial liabilities will be presented separately by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the notes to the financial statements, and (4) an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. Entities will no longer be able to recognize unrealized holding gains and losses on equity securities classified as available-for-sale in other comprehensive income. In addition, a practicability exception will be available for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and do not qualify for the net asset value practical expedient. These investments may be measured 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. Entities will have to reassess at each reporting period whether an investment qualifies for this practicability exception.contractual sales restrictions. The Company will adopt the amendments in this ASU prospectively on August 1, 2018.2024. The Company is evaluating the impact that thethis ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU related to the accounting for leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company will adopt the new standard on August 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is evaluating the impact that the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. 

In June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, that changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For receivables, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss”current expected credit loss model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to current practice, except the losses will be recognized as allowances instead of reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. In addition, an entity will have to disclose significantly more information about allowances, credit quality indicators, and past due securities. The new provisions will be applied as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company will adopt the new standard on August 1, 2020.2023. The Company is evaluating the impact thatdoes not expect the new standard willto have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that includes specific guidance on the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of the period and end of the period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The ASU will be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company will adopt the amendments in this ASU on August 1, 2018. The adoption will impact the Company’s beginning of the period and end of the period cash and cash equivalents balance in its statement of cash flows, as well as its net cash provided by operating activities.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under the current guidance, there are three elements of a business—inputs, processes, and outputs. While an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) that is a business usually has outputs, outputs are not required to be present. In addition, all the inputs and processes that a seller uses in operating a set are not required if market participants can acquire the set and continue to produce outputs, for example, by integrating the acquired set with their own inputs and processes. The amendments in this ASU provide a screen to determine when a set is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. If the screen is not met, the amendments in this ASU (1) require that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (2) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The amendments provide a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present. The framework includes two sets of criteria to consider that depend on whether a set has outputs. Although outputs are not required for a set to be a business, outputs generally are a key element of a business; therefore, the FASB has developed more stringent criteria for sets without outputs. Lastly, the ASU narrows the definition of the term output. The Company will adopt the amendments in this ASU on August 1, 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact that the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

17Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In May 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. Pursuant to this ASU, an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: (1) the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified (if the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification); (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; and (3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The Company will adopt the amendments in this ASU prospectively to an award modified on or after on August 1, 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact that the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued an ASU intended to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. In addition, the ASU includes certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance in U.S. GAAP. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company on August 1, 2019. Early application is permitted. Entities will apply the amendments to cash flow and net investment hedge relationships that exist on the date of adoption using a modified retrospective approach. The presentation and disclosure requirements will be applied prospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Overview

We are a multinational holding company with operations primarily in the telecommunications and payment industries. We have two reportable business segments, Telecom Platform Services and net2phone-Unified Communications as a Service, or net2phone-UCaaS (formerly known as UCaaS). The Telecom Platform Services segment provides retail telecommunications and payment offerings as well as wholesale international long distance traffic termination. The net2phone-UCaaS segment is comprised of (1) cable telephony, (2) cloud-based private branch exchange, or PBX, services offered to enterprise customers exclusively through value-added resellers, service providers, telecom agents and managed service providers, (3) Session Initiation Protocol, or SIP, trunking, which supports inbound and outbound domestic and international calling from an IP PBX, and (4) PicuP, a highly-automated business phone service that answers, routes and manages voice calls. Telecom Platform Services and net2phone-UCaaS comprise our IDT Telecom division. Operating segments not reportable individually are included in All Other. All Other includes our real estate holdings and other smaller businesses.

Since our inception, we have derived the majority of our revenues and operating expenses from IDT Telecom’s businesses. IDT Telecom’s revenues represented 99.8% and 99.9% of our total revenues in the six months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

On or about March 26, 2018, we expect to spin-off our subsidiary Rafael Holdings, Inc., or RHI, to our stockholders, so that RHI will be a separate publicly traded company. Approval of the spin-off by our stockholders is not required. Our Board of Directors believes that the spin-off will allow RHI to better focus on its strategic mission and that its potential can be better realized as an independent entity. The spin-off of RHI will occur by way of a pro rata distribution of RHI’s capital stock to our stockholders. On the distribution date, each of our stockholders as of the record date for the distribution of March 13, 2018 will receive one share of RHI Class A common stock for every two shares of our Class A common stock and one share of RHI Class B common stock for every two shares of our Class B common stock. Completion of the RHI spin-off is subject to receipt of a favorable opinion as to the spin-off’s tax-free status.

RHI owns the commercial real estate assets held by us and interests in two clinical stage pharmaceutical companies. The commercial real estate holdings consist of our headquarters building and its associated public garage in Newark, New Jersey, an office/data center building in Piscataway, New Jersey and a portion of a building in Israel that hosts offices for us and certain affiliates. The pharmaceutical holdings include debt interests and warrants in Rafael Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Rafael Pharma, which is a clinical stage, oncology-focused pharmaceutical company committed to the development and commercialization of therapies that exploit the metabolic differences between normal cells and cancer cells, and a majority equity interest in Lipomedix Pharmaceuticals Ltd., or Lipomedix, a pharmaceutical development company based in Israel. In addition, prior to the spin-off, we intend to transfer assets to RHI such that, at the time of the spin-off, RHI will have approximately $44 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, plus $6 million in hedge fund and other investments.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2017. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Critical accounting policies are those that require application of management’s most subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Our critical accounting policies include those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill, valuation of long-lived and intangible assets, income taxes and regulatory agency fees, and IDT Telecom direct cost of revenues—disputed amounts. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies, see our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2017.

Recently Issued Accounting StandardStandards Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014,June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, and the Internationalissued Accounting Standards Board jointly issuedUpdate, or ASU, No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, that clarifies that a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede mostcontractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS. The goalsunit of account of the revenue recognition project were to clarifyequity security and, converge the revenue recognition principles under U.S. GAAP and IFRS and to develop guidance that would streamline and enhance revenue recognition requirements. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the standard. We expect to adopt this standard on August 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. We have identified our main revenue streams, which include Boss Revolution PIN-less international calling revenue, wholesale carrier services revenue, and domestic and international airtime top-up revenue. We are currently reviewing contracts and other relevant documentstherefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The ASU also requires specific disclosures related to our wholesale carrier services revenue to determine how to apply the new standard to this revenue stream. We expect to continue our review and evaluation for our other revenue streams in fiscal 2018. Currently, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact that the adoption of the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that includes specific guidance on the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of the period and end of the period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The ASU will be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We will adopt the amendments in this ASU on August 1, 2018.

Results of Operations

Three and Six Months Ended January 31, 2018 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended January 31, 2017

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

COVID-19

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

Explanation of Performance Metrics

Our results of operations discussion include the following performance metrics:

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

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

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

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

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

In addition, the decrease in Retail Communications’ revenue and minutes of use in the three and six months ended January 31, 2018 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2017 was due to continuing declines in Europe, South America and Asia, and continuing declines from traditional disposable calling cards in the U.S. Retail Communications’ revenue comprised 37.8% and 43.4% of Telecom Platform Services’ revenue in the six months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Revenues. net2phone’s revenues increased in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2022 driven primarily by the growth in subscription revenue in the U.S. and Latin American markets, which reflects the increase in seats served at April 30, 2023 compared to April 30, 2022 in those markets.

Direct Cost of Revenues. Direct cost of revenues increased in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2022 primarily due to the increase in revenues, with the largest increases in the U.S. market. net2phone’s focus on mid-sized businesses, multi-channel strategies, and localized offerings generated revenue growth that exceeded the increase in direct cost of revenues.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2022 primarily due to increases in sales commissions. As a percentage of net2phone’s revenues, net2phone’s selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 78.1% from 88.8% in the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and decreased to 79.3% from 95.6% in the nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

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

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $0.4 million.substantially unchanged in the three months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2022. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense in the nine months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2022 was due to increased depreciation of net2phone’s telephone equipment leased to customers and increased depreciation of capitalized costs of consultants and employees developing internal use software.

Other Operating Gain, net. In the nine months ended April 30, 2022, we determined that the requirements for a contingent consideration payment related to an acquisition in December 2019 would not be met before the expiration date. net2phone recognized a gain of $0.3 million in the nine months ended April 30, 2022 on the write-off of this contingent consideration payment obligation.

Traditional Communications Segment

The Traditional Communications segment, which represented 80.5% and 86.6% of our total revenues in the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 81.6% and 88.4% of our total revenues in the nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, includes IDT Digital Payments (formerly Mobile Top-Up), which enables customers to transfer airtime and bundles of airtime, messaging, and data to international and domestic mobile accounts, BOSS Revolution Calling, an international long-distance calling service marketed primarily to immigrant communities in the United States and Canada, and IDT Global, a wholesale provider of international voice and SMS termination and outsourced traffic management solutions to telecoms worldwide. Traditional Communications also includes other small businesses and offerings including early-stage business initiatives and mature businesses in harvest mode.

30

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

Revenues. Revenues from IDT Digital Payments decreased in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2022 primarily from the deterioration of a key corridor that was particularly impactful to revenues in the business-to-business wholesale and retail channels.

Revenues and minutes of use from BOSS Revolution Calling decreased in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2022. BOSS Revolution Calling continues to be impacted by persistent, market-wide trends, including the proliferation of unlimited calling plans offered by wireless carriers and mobile virtual network operators, and the increasing penetration of free and paid over-the-top voice, video conferencing, and messaging services.

Revenues and minutes of use from IDT Global decreased in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2022 as communications globally continued to transition away from international voice calling. This trend was accelerated by the impact of COVID-19 as business communications shifted from calling to video conferencing and other collaboration platforms. We expect that IDT Global will continue to be adversely impacted by these trends, and minutes of use and revenues will likely continue to decline from quarter-to-quarter, as we seek to maximize economics rather than necessarily sustain minutes of use or revenues.

Direct Cost of Revenues. Direct cost of revenues decreased in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2022 primarily due to decreases in IDT Global, IDT Digital Payments, and BOSS Revolution Calling’s direct cost of revenues in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2022, mostly due to the decrease in revenues.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2022 primarily due to decreases in debit and credit card processing charges, employee compensation, and sales commissions, partially offset by increases in marketing expense and stock-based compensation expense. As a percentage of Traditional Communications’ revenue, Traditional Communications’ selling, general and administrative expense increased to 10.8% from 9.7% in the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and increased to 10.6% from 9.2% in the nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the three months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2022 primarily due to increases in depreciation of equipment added to our telecommunications network and capitalized costs of consultants and employees developing internal use software. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased in the nine months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2022 primarily due to decreases in depreciation as more of our property, plant, and equipment became fully depreciated, partially offset by increases in depreciation of equipment added to our telecommunications network and capitalized costs of consultants and employees developing internal use software.

Other Operating Expense. Other operating expense included $3.9 million and $33,000 in the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $3.9 million and $0.1 million in the nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, for the indemnification of one of our cable telephony customers related to patent infringement claims brought against the customer. On May 8, 2023, we and the customer agreed to a release from the indemnification agreement in exchange for $3.9 million, of which $1.9 million was paid on May 10, 2023, and the remainder will be paid in five monthly invoice deductions of $0.4 million each. Also, in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, we increased the estimated fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration by $0.2 million.

General and Administrative. The decrease in Corporate general and administrative expense increased in the three and nine months ended January 31, 2018April 30, 2023 compared to the similar periodperiods in fiscal 2017 was2022 primarily due to decreasesbecause of increases in employee compensation and stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by an increase in legal fees.

In addition, As discussed in the three and six months ended January 31, 2018, we incurred fees of $0.6 million related to other legal matters. In the three and six months ended January 31, 2017, we incurred legal fees of $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, related to a letter of inquiry from the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, in connection with its investigation of potential license violations by Straight Path Spectrum LLC (a subsidiary of Straight Path and formerly a subsidiary of ours). (See Note 1116 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 to Part I of thethis Quarterly Report, we (as well as other defendants) have been named in a pending class action on Form 10-Q).behalf of the stockholders of our former subsidiary, Straight Path Communications Inc., or Straight Path.

Consolidated

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

Related Party Lease Costs. We lease office and parking space in a building and parking garage located at 520 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey that was previously owned by our former subsidiary, Rafael Holdings, Inc., or Rafael. On August 22, 2022, Rafael sold the building and parking garage to an unrelated third party. Our lease in that building continues with the new owner. We lease office space in Israel from Rafael. The Newark lease expires in April 2025 and the Israel lease expires in July 2025. In the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, we incurred lease costs of $33,000 and $0.2 million, respectively, in connection with the Rafael leases, which excludes Newark lease costs after August 22, 2022. In the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022, we incurred lease costs of $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in connection with the Rafael leases. Lease costs incurred in connection with the Rafael leases are included in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses.

32

Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Stock-based compensation expense included in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses was $1.0$1.7 million and $1.4$1.2 million in the three months ended January 31, 2018April 30, 2023 and 2017,2022, respectively, and $3.5 million and $1.8 million and $2.1 million in the sixnine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increases were primarily due to the grant of deferred stock units, or DSUs, that, upon vesting, will entitle the grantees to receive shares of our Class B common stock. In the nine months ended April 30, 2023, we granted an aggregate of 193,225 DSUs to certain of our executive officers and other employees. The number of shares that will be issuable on each vesting date will vary between 50% to 200% of the number of DSUs that vest on that vesting date, depending on the market price for the underlying Class B common stock on the vesting date relative to the base price approved by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors of $25.45 per share (which was based on the market price at the time of the initial grants under this program). On May 17, 2023, the first vesting date under the program, in accordance with the program and based on certain elections made by grantees, we issued 41,945 shares of our Class B common stock for vested DSUs. Based on those elections, vesting for 30,909 DSUs was delayed until February 21, 2024. Subject to continued full time employment or other service to us, the remaining DSUs are scheduled to vest on February 21, 2024 and February 25, 2025. The grantees will have the right to elect a later vesting date no later than January 31, 201819, 2024 for the February 21, 2024 vesting date. A grantee will have the option to elect a later vesting date for one-half or all of the shares scheduled to vest on February 21, 2024 and 2017, respectively.any DSUs that do not vest based on the grantee’s election, will be eligible to vest on February 25, 2025. We estimated that the fair value of the DSUs on the date of grants was an aggregate of $5.2 million, which is being recognized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service periods ending in February 2025. We used a risk neutral Monte Carlo simulation method in our valuation of the DSUs, which simulated the range of possible future values of our Class B common stock over the life of the DSUs. The weighted average grant date fair value per DSU was $27.20. At January 31, 2018,April 30, 2023, there was $2.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-basedDSUs.

Effective as of June 30, 2022, restricted shares of NRS’ Class B common stock were granted to certain NRS employees. The restrictions on the shares will lapse in three installments on each of June 1, 2024, 2026, and 2027. The estimated fair value of the restricted shares on the grant date was $3.3 million, which will be recognized over the vesting period. At April 30, 2023, unrecognized compensation including stock options and restrictedcost related to NRS’ non-vested Class B common stock was an aggregate of $4.1$2.8 million. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period that endsend in 2020.fiscal 2027.

We have an investment in convertible preferred stock of a communications company (the equity method investee, or EMI), that represented 26.57% of the outstanding shares of the EMI on an as converted basis. 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. Each of the EMI’s shareholders agreed to purchase additional shares of the EMI’s convertible preferred stock through May 31, 2023. Following the merger, the conversion of our notes receivable into EMI shares described below, and the purchases of the additional EMI’s shares, our ownership interest increased to 33.3% of the EMI’s outstanding shares. 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 we do not have a controlling interest.

The losses on investments, net in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 included unrealized gains of $11,000 and $20,000, respectively, and in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022 included unrealized losses of $0.6 million and $14.1 million, respectively, on shares of Rafael’s Class B common stock.

Benefit from (Provision for)Provision for Income Taxes. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted “An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018”, which is commonly referred to as “The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”, or the Tax Act. The Tax Act provides for comprehensive tax legislation that reduces the U.S. federal statutory corporate tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0% effective January 1, 2018, requires companies to pay a one-time repatriation tax, or transition tax, on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred, and makes other changes to the U.S. income tax code. Due to our July 31 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate is phased in, resulting in a blended U.S. federal statutory tax rate of approximately 26.9% for our fiscal year ending July 31, 2018, and 21.0% for our fiscal years thereafter.

On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, or SAB 118, expressing its views regarding the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification 740,Income Taxes, in the reporting period that includes the enactment date of the Tax Act. SAB 118 recognizes that a registrant’s review of certain income tax effects of the Tax Act may be incomplete at the time financial statements are issued for the reporting period that includes the enactment date, including interim periods therein. Specifically, SAB 118 allows a company to report provisional estimates in the reporting period that includes the enactment date if the company does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or fully analyzed for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. The provisional estimates would be adjusted during a measurement period not to exceed 12 months from the enactment date of the Tax Act, at which time the accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act is required to be completed.

As of January 31, 2018, we had not completed our accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act; however, we had made a reasonable estimate of the effect on our existing AMT credit carryover. Because the AMT credit will be refundable if not utilized in the next four years, we reversed the valuation allowance that offset the AMT credit. As a result, in the three months ended January 31, 2018, we recorded a noncurrent receivable and an income tax benefit of $3.3 million for the anticipated refund. The reduction in the corporate tax rate is not expected to impact our results of operations or financial position in the foreseeable future because the income tax benefit from the reduced tax rate will be offset by the valuation allowance.

The transition tax is based on total post-1986 earnings and profits which were previously deferred from U.S. income taxes. We expect to utilize net operating loss carryforwards to offset any transition tax that we may incur. Therefore we did not record any provisional income tax expense for the transition tax for our foreign subsidiaries. At January 31, 2018, the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries continued to be permanently reinvested and we do not intend to repatriate any of the amounts. As a result, we have not provided for additional income or withholding taxes for the undistributed earnings or for any additional outside basis differences with respect to the foreign entities. We continue to review the anticipated impacts of the global intangible low taxed income, or GILTI, and base erosion anti-abuse tax, or BEAT, which are not effective until August 1, 2018. We have not recorded any impact associated with either GILTI or BEAT in the three months ended January 31, 2018.

26

We anticipate that our assumptions and estimates may change as a result of future guidance and interpretation from the Internal Revenue Service, the SEC, the FASB, and various other taxing jurisdictions. In particular, we anticipate that the U.S. state jurisdictions will continue to determine and announce their conformity or decoupling from the Tax Act, either in its entirety or with respect to specific provisions. Legislative and interpretive actions could result in adjustments to our provisional estimates when the accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act is completed. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the Tax Act on our financial statements, and will record the effect of any reasonable changes in our estimates or adjustments.

In the six months ended January 31, 2017, we determined that our valuation allowance on the losses of Elmion Netherlands B.V., or Elmion, a Netherlands subsidiary, was no longer required due to an internal reorganization that generated income and a projection that the income would continue. We recorded a benefit from income taxes of $16.6 million in the six months ended January 31, 2017 from the full recognition of the Elmion deferred tax assets.

The change in income tax expense in the three and sixnine months ended January 31, 2018April 30, 2023 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2017, excluding the benefits from income taxes in the three and six months ended January 31, 2018 and in the six months ended January 31, 2017,2022 was generallyprimarily due to the differences in the tax ratesamount of taxable income earned in the jurisdictions where the results were recorded.various taxing jurisdictions.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. The change in the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the three and sixnine months ended January 31, 2018April 30, 2023 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 20172022 was primarily due to a decreaseincreases in the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests in certain IDT Telecom subsidiaries,of NRS as well as a reductions in the net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interests in Lipomedix in the threeof net2phone 2.0, Inc. and six months ended January 31, 2018. We began consolidating Lipomedix in November 2017.certain other subsidiaries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We currentlyAs of the date of this Quarterly Report, we expect our cash from operations in the next twelve months and the balance of cash, cash equivalents, debt securities, and marketable securitiescurrent equity investments that we held at January 31, 2018 toon April 30, 2023 will be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements during the twelve-month period ending January 31, 2019.April 30, 2024.

At January 31, 2018,April 30, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents, debt securities, and marketable securitiescurrent equity investments of $100.3$138.5 million and working capital (current assets in excess of current liabilities) of $1.1$88.3 million. At January 31, 2018, we also had $8.8 million in investments in hedge funds, which were included in “Investments” in our consolidated balance sheet.

On or about March 26, 2018, we expect to spin-off our wholly-owned subsidiary, RHI, to our stockholders. RHI owns certain commercial real estate assets and interests in Rafael Pharma and Lipomedix. Prior to the spin-off, we intend to transfer assets to RHI such that, at the time of the spin-off, RHI will have approximately $44 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, plus $6 million in hedge fund and other investments.

We treat unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held by IDT Payment Services, Inc. and IDT Payment Services of New York, LLC as substantially restricted and unavailable for other purposes. At January 31, 2018,April 30, 2023, “Cash and cash equivalents” in our consolidated balance sheet included an aggregate of $10.0$16.9 million held by IDT Payment Services, Inc. and IDT Payment Services of New York, LLC that was unavailable for other purposes.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

Foreign Currency Risk

Revenues from our international operations were 32%28% and 31%29% of our consolidated revenues forin the sixthree months ended January 31, 2018April 30, 2023 and 2017,2022, respectively, and 28% and 28% of our consolidated revenues in the nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. ATherefore, a significant portion of theseour 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 revenuerevenues 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

In addition to, but separate from our primary business, weWe hold a portion of our assets in marketabledebt and equity securities, andincluding hedge funds, for strategic and speculative purposes. At JanuaryApril 30, 2023 and July 31, 2018,2022, the carrying value of our marketable securitiesdebt and investments in hedge fundsequity security holdings was $46.2an aggregate of $58.0 million and $8.8$46.8 million, respectively, which represented 11% and 9% of our total assets at April 30, 2023 and July 31, 2022, respectively. Investments in marketabledebt and equity securities and hedge funds 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.
