Sale of Interest in Fabrix Systems Ltd. | Note 2—Sale of Interest in Fabrix Systems Ltd. | ||||||||||||||||
On October 8, 2014, the Company completed the sale of its interest in Fabrix Systems Ltd. (“Fabrix”) to Telefonaktiebolget LM Ericsson (publ) (“Ericsson”). The final sale price for 100% of the shares in Fabrix was $95 million in cash, excluding transaction costs and working capital and other adjustments. The Company owned approximately 78% of Fabrix on a fully diluted basis. The Company’s share of the sale price was $68.0 million, after reflecting the impact of working capital and other adjustments. As of January 31, 2015, the Company had received cash of $36.0 million and had aggregate receivables of $32.0 million, of which $28.3 million was classified as “Receivable from sale of interest in Fabrix Systems Ltd.” and $3.7 million was included in “Other assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company and the other shareholders placed $13.0 million of the proceeds in escrow for the resolution of post-closing claims that may arise. Any unclaimed escrow balance will be released in two tranches over a period of 18 months. In the three months ended January 31, 2015, the Company recorded gain on the sale of its interest in Fabrix of $0.5 million, which represented the Company’s share of working capital and other adjustments. In the six months ended January 31, 2015, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of its interest in Fabrix of $75.6 million. | |||||||||||||||||

At January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, the Company did not have any liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. | |||||||||||||||||||
At January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, the Company had $10.9 million and $9.5 million, respectively, in investments in hedge funds, of which less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, were included in “Other current assets” and $10.9 million and $9.4 million, respectively, were included in “Investments” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s investments in hedge funds are accounted for using the equity method or the cost method; therefore investments in hedge funds are not measured at fair value. | |||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||||||||
The estimated fair value of the Company’s other financial instruments was determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting these data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange. | |||||||||||||||||||
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents—short-term, other current assets, revolving credit loan payable, customer deposits, notes payable—current portion and other current liabilities. At January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, the carrying amount of these assets and liabilities approximated fair value because of the short period of time to maturity. The fair value estimates for cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents—short-term were classified as Level 1 and other current assets, revolving credit loan payable, customer deposits, notes payable—current portion and other current liabilities were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. | |||||||||||||||||||
Restricted cash and cash equivalents—long-term. At July 31, 2014, the carrying amount of restricted cash and cash equivalents—long-term approximated fair value. The fair value was estimated based on the anticipated cash flows once the restrictions are removed, which was classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. | |||||||||||||||||||
Other assets, Notes payable—long-term portion and other liabilities. At January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, the carrying amount of these assets and liabilities approximated fair value. The fair values were estimated based on the Company’s assumptions, which were classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. | |||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s investments at January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014 included investments in the equity of certain privately held entities and other investments that are accounted for at cost. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of these investments because of the lack of a quoted market price for the shares of these entities, and the inability to estimate their fair value without incurring excessive cost. The carrying value of these investments was $1.6 million and $1.8 million at January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, respectively, which the Company believes was not impaired. | |||||||||||||||||||

In the six months ended January 31, 2015, the Company paid aggregate cash dividends of $1.67 per share on its Class A common stock and Class B common stock, or $38.9 million in total.

Earnings Per Share | Note 6—Earnings Per Share | ||||||||||||||||
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to all classes of common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share, except that the number of shares is increased to include restricted stock still subject to risk of forfeiture and to assume exercise of potentially dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of such increase is anti-dilutive. | |||||||||||||||||
The weighted-average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders consists of the following: | |||||||||||||||||

IDT Telecom may use the proceeds to finance working capital requirements, acquisitions and for other general corporate purposes. The line of credit facility is secured by primarily all of IDT Telecom’s assets. The principal outstanding bears interest per annum, at the option of IDT Telecom, at either (a) the U.S. Prime Rate less 125 basis points, or (b) the LIBOR rate adjusted by the Regulation D maximum reserve requirement plus 150 basis points. Interest is payable monthly and all outstanding principal and any accrued and unpaid interest is due on the maturity date of January 31, 2017. At January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, there was nil and $13.0 million, respectively, outstanding under the facility. The principal outstanding at July 31, 2014 incurred interest at a rate of 1.65% per annum. In August 2014, IDT Telecom repaid the $13.0 million loan payable. The Company intends to continue to borrow under the facility from time to time. IDT Telecom pays a quarterly unused commitment fee of 0.375% per annum 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 financial targets and ratios during the term of the line of credit, including IDT Telecom may not pay any dividend on its capital stock and IDT Telecom’s aggregate loans and advances to affiliates or subsidiaries may not exceed $90.0 million.

Severance Expense | Note 8—Severance Expense |
Severance expense of $0.4 million and $1.9 million in the three and six months ended January 31, 2015, respectively, was due to a downsizing of certain IDT Telecom sales and administrative functions in Europe and the U.S. Approximately 20 employees were terminated in the six months ended January 31, 2015 as a result of the downsizing. At January 31, 2015, there was accrued severance of $0.5 million for this downsizing included in “Accrued expenses” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. | |
In February and March 2015, the Company completed a reduction of approximately 7% of its global compensation costs. The cost-cutting initiative is expected to reduce the Company’s current selling, general and administrative expense run rate by approximately $10 million per year. As a result of this reduction in headcount, the Company expects to incur severance expense of approximately $6.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. |

Business Segment Information | Note 10—Business Segment Information | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Company has two reportable business segments, Telecom Platform Services and Consumer Phone Services. Operating segments that are not reportable individually are included in All Other. The Company’s reportable segments are distinguished by types of service, customers and methods used to provide their services. The operating results of these business segments are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The Telecom Platform Services segment provides retail telecommunications and payment offerings as well as wholesale international long distance traffic termination. The Consumer Phone Services segment provides consumer local and long distance services in certain U.S. states. Telecom Platform Services and Consumer Phone Services comprise the IDT Telecom division. Beginning in the three months ended January 31, 2015, All Other includes Zedge Holdings, Inc. (“Zedge”), which owns and operates a platform for mobile phone consumers interested in obtaining free, high quality games, apps, and mobile phone customization including ringtones, wallpapers, and notification sounds. Comparative results have been reclassified and restated as if Zedge was included in All Other in all periods presented. All Other also includes the Company’s real estate holdings and other, smaller, businesses. Until the sale of Fabrix in October 2014, All Other also included Fabrix, a software development company offering a cloud-based scale-out storage and computing platform optimized for big data, virtualization and media storage, processing and delivery. Corporate costs include certain services, such as compensation, consulting fees, treasury and accounts payable, tax and accounting services, human resources and payroll, corporate purchasing, corporate governance including Board of Directors’ fees, internal and external audit, investor relations, corporate insurance, corporate legal, business development, and other corporate-related general and administrative expenses including, among others, facilities costs, charitable contributions and travel, as well as depreciation expense on corporate assets. Corporate does not generate any revenues, nor does it incur any direct cost of revenues. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as the accounting policies of the Company as a whole. The Company evaluates the performance of its business segments based primarily on income (loss) from operations. IDT Telecom depreciation and amortization are allocated to Telecom Platform Services and Consumer Phone Services because the related assets are not tracked separately by segment. There are no other significant asymmetrical allocations to segments. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Legal Proceedings | Note 11—Legal Proceedings |
On May 5, 2004, the Company filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, seeking injunctive relief and damages against Tyco Group, S.A.R.L., Tyco Telecommunications (US) Inc. (f/k/a TyCom (US) Inc.), Tyco International, Ltd., Tyco International (US) Inc., and TyCom Ltd. (collectively “Tyco”). The Company alleged that Tyco breached a settlement agreement that it had entered into with the Company to resolve certain disputes and civil actions among the parties. The Company alleged that Tyco did not provide the Company, as required under the settlement agreement, free of charge and for the Company’s exclusive use, a 15-year indefeasible right to use four Wavelengths in Ring Configuration (as defined in the settlement agreement) (“Wavelengths”) on a global undersea fiber optic network that Tyco was deploying at that time. In June 2004, Tyco asserted several counterclaims against the Company, alleging that the Company breached the settlement agreement and is liable for damages for allegedly refusing to accept Tyco’s offer regarding the Wavelengths referenced in the settlement agreement and for making a public statement that Tyco failed to provide the Company with the use of its Wavelengths. On August 19, 2008, the Appellate Division of the State of New York, First Department, granted summary judgment in favor of Tyco dismissing the complaint and remanded the matter to the Supreme Court for further proceedings. On October 22, 2009, the New York Court of Appeals issued an Order denying the Company’s appeal and affirming the Appellate Division’s order. On or about November 17, 2009, the Company demanded that Tyco comply with its obligations under the settlement agreement. After further discussions and meetings between the parties regarding Tyco’s obligations under the settlement agreement, including its obligation to provide the use of the Wavelengths for fifteen years in a manner fully consistent with that described in the settlement agreement, the Company filed a complaint on November 24, 2010 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against Tyco based upon the failure to comply with the obligations under the settlement agreement, to negotiate the terms of an indefeasible right to use the Wavelengths in good faith, and to provide the Company with the Wavelengths. The complaint alleges causes of action for breach of contract and breach of duty to negotiate in good faith. On January 6, 2011, Tyco filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, which was granted. On July 22, 2011, the Company filed a notice of appeal. After briefing was completed, oral argument was held on April 2, 2012. On December 27, 2012, the Appellate Division issued an opinion and order reversing the order of the Supreme Court that granted Tyco’s motion to dismiss the Company’s complaint. On April 30, 2013, Tyco filed a motion for reargument or, in the alternative, leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals, which the Company opposed. On February 8, 2013, Tyco filed an answer with a counterclaim. On May 21, 2013, the Appellate Division denied Tyco’s request for reargument but granted its request for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals. On July 30, 2013, Tyco filed its opening brief, the Company filed its response brief on September 16, 2013, and Tyco filed its reply on October 11, 2013. Oral argument was held on April 29, 2014. On June 5, 2014, the Court issued its decision, and reversed the order of the Appellate Division, and ordered that the order of the Supreme Court should be reinstated. On July 7, 2014, the Company filed a motion for reargument with the Court of Appeals, which Tyco opposed. On September 11, 2014, the Court denied the Company’s motion. The Company is evaluating its options going forward. | |
In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to other legal and employment-related proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business and have not been finally adjudicated. Although there can be no assurance in this regard, the Company believes that none of the other legal proceedings to which the Company is a party will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. | |

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 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. The Company will adopt this standard on August 1, 2017. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the standard. The Company is evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. | |
