IDT’s Management Commentary
CEO Shmuel Jonas emphasized IDT’s progress in digital initiatives across NRS, BOSS Money and net2phone. He highlighted partnerships such as DoorDash integration for NRS retailers and upcoming digital couponing capabilities through NRS Insights in 2026. For BOSS Money, Jonas underscored the shift from retail to digital channels, reinforced by upcoming WhatsApp integration and a new digital wallet. Meanwhile, net2phone is pivoting toward AI-driven solutions, with expectations that 30% of sales could involve AI-enabled offerings by fiscal 2026.
Factors Influencing IDT’s Results
The decline in GAAP net income was tied to the absence of a one-off tax benefit recorded in the prior year. Segment profitability improved across the board, with cost discipline in Traditional Communications and operating leverage in growth businesses driving margins higher. However, NRS did face increased churn in its terminal base, attributed in part to market competition and external factors such as immigration enforcement affecting some retailers. Also, structural declines in international voice calling and increased customer churn at NRS moderated performance. Currency headwinds also weighed on net2phone’s Latin American results.
IDT’s Guidance
For fiscal 2026, IDT projects adjusted EBITDA of $141 million–$145 million under a revised definition that excludes non-cash compensation. This guidance represents a 7% to 10% increase from fiscal 2025 levels.
IDT’s Other Developments
During fiscal 2025, IDT repurchased 221,823 shares for $10.1 million, but notably refrained from additional buybacks in the second half of the year as it pursued an acquisition opportunity that ultimately did not materialize. The company continues to evaluate potential acquisitions while maintaining a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share, declared on Sept. 22, 2025.
