Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1—Description 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 Company’s 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 year’s 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 Company’s 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 costs—including 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, net2phone’s colocation costs for data centers where net2phone is not fully operational in the cloud, net2phone’s cost of equipment sold, and commissions paid to disbursement agents, sales agents, and retailers for BOSS Money’s originations and distributions.
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 Company’s 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.
Equity Investments
Investments 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 Company’s 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: equipment—5 and 7 years; computer software—3 years; and furniture and fixtures—5 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.
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 unit’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.
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 Company’s common stockholders consists of the following:
| Year ended July 31 (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic weighted-average number of shares | 25,188 | 25,241 | 25,517 |
| Effect of dilutive securities: | |||
| Stock options | 2 | 1 | 9 |
| Non-vested restricted Class B common stock | 105 | 156 | 51 |
| Diluted weighted-average number of shares | 25,295 | 25,398 | 25,577 |
There wereno shares excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, or fiscal 2023.
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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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:
| Year ended July 31 (in thousands) | Balance at beginning of year | Additions charged to costs and expenses | Deductions (1) | Balance at end of year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deducted from asset accounts: | ||||
| Allowance for credit losses | $6,352 | $6,980 | $(4,235) | $9,097 |
| Reserve for losses on settlement assets | 1,866 | 110 | (609) | 1,367 |
| Total | $8,218 | $7,090 | $(4,844) | $10,464 |
| Deducted from asset accounts: | ||||
| Allowance for credit losses | $5,642 | $3,402 | $(2,692) | $6,352 |
| Reserve for losses on settlement assets | 1,143 | 988 | (265) | 1,866 |
| Total | $6,785 | $4,390 | $(2,957) | $8,218 |
| Deducted from asset accounts: | ||||
| Allowance for doubtful accounts | $5,328 | $1,578 | $(1,264) | $5,642 |
| Reserve for losses on settlement assets | 554 | 620 | (31) | 1,143 |
| Total | $5,882 | $2,198 | $(1,295) | $6,785 |
| (1) | Primarily uncollectible accounts written off, net of recoveries. |
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 Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. |
A financial asset or liability’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 entity’s 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 2—Business Segment Information
The Company’s 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 Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is a group of the Company’s executives that includes the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer. The Company’s 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.
The NRS segment is an operator of a nationwide POS network providing independent retailers with POS equipment, store management software, electronic payment processing, and other ancillary merchant services. NRS’ POS platform provides marketers with digital out-of-home advertising and transaction data.
The Fintech segment 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 (the “Disbursement Payments VIE”), (iii) IDT Financial Services Limited (“IDT Financial Services”), a Gibraltar-based bank and (iv) IDT Services Limited (“IDTS”), a Malta-based electronic money institution.
The net2phone segment is comprised of net2phone’s integrated cloud -based Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) and Contact Center as a Service (“CCaaS”) offerings.
The Traditional Communications segment includes: (i) IDT Digital Payments, which enables customers to transfer airtime and bundles of airtime, messaging, and data to international and domestic mobile accounts; (ii) BOSS Revolution, an international long-distance calling service marketed primarily to immigrant communities in the United States and Canada; and (iii) 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.
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.
Operating results for the business segments of the Company are included in the tables below. The significant expense categories align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the CODM. The significant expense categories include depreciation and amortization. Other segment items, which is the difference between segment revenues less the segment expenses disclosed and segment income (loss) from operations, includes severance expense and other operating expense, net. The reconciliation of the total income (loss) from operations to income before income taxes is reflected in the consolidated statements of income.

Note 3—Revenue 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 Company’s core assets. BOSS Money’s and NRS’ revenues are primarily recognized at a point in time, and net2phone’s 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 Company’s 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.
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 Company’s performance obligation is to recharge (top-up) the airtime balance of a mobile account on behalf of the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s satisfaction of its performance obligation and the customer’s 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 Company’s satisfaction of its performance obligation and the customer’s 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 Company’s customer in these transactions. The Company’s 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 party’s 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.
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 contract’s 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 Global’s 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 Global’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 CodificationRevenue 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 terminal’s 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 customer’s 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.
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 customer’s 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 Company’s customers. Trade accounts receivable in the Company’s 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.
Contract liabilities arise when the Company receives consideration or bills its customers prior to providing the goods or services promised in the contract. The Company’s 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 Company’s consolidated balance sheets as “Deferred revenue”. The Company’s 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.
Receivables and contract balances from contracts with customers for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:
| (in thousands) | Accounts Receivable, net | Deferred Revenue | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Beginning of year | $42,215 | $32,092 | $30,364 | $35,343 |
| End of year | $42,867 | $42,215 | $27,724 | $30,364 |
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 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 Company’s 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 Company’s deferred customer contract acquisition costs were as follows:
| July 31 (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Deferred customer contract acquisition costs included in “Other current assets” | $6,547 | $4,823 |
| Deferred customer contract acquisition costs included in “Other assets” | 4,789 | 4,276 |
| TOTAL | $11,336 | $9,099 |
In fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023, the Company’s amortization of deferred customer contract acquisition costs was $5.7 million, $5.8 million, and $4.9 million, respectively.
Note 4—Leases
The Company’s leases primarily consist of operating leases for office space. These leases have remaining terms from less thanone 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.
Supplemental disclosures related to the Company’s operating leases were as follows:
| Year ended July 31 (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 |

| TOTAL RESTRICTED CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS | $115,327 | $90,899 |
Certain of the electronic money financial services regulations in Gibraltar require IDT Financial Services to safeguard cash held for customer deposits, segregate cash held for customer deposits from any other cash that IDT Financial Services holds and utilize the cash only for the intended payment transaction. IDTS is subject to similar regulatory obligations under the Maltese financial services regulations, which also mandate the safeguard of electronic money, the segregation of the cash held for customer deposits from any other cash that IDTS holds and utilize the cash only for the intended payment transaction. In addition, the Disbursement Payments VIE is contractually required to use customer funds only for the customers’ pending money disbursements.

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 Company’s ownership was 33.4% of the EMI’s 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.
The Company determined that on the dates of the acquisitions of the EMI’s 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 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).
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 EMI’s secured promissory notes was converted into shares of the EMI’s convertible preferred stock.
The following table summarizes the change in the balance of the Company’s equity method investment. The balance as of July 31, 2025 is classified as other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

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

Exchange of NRS Equity for Shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock and Cash
In June 2024, the Company initiated a tender offer to purchase 10% of each qualified holder’s outstanding DSUs that are to be settled in shares of NRS common stock (“NRS DSUs”) in exchange for cash or shares (depending on the number of NRS DSUs held by each holder) of the Company’s Class B common stock. In July 2024, certain qualified holders tendered and sold an aggregate of 199,687 NRS DSUs to the Company, and, as a condition of the tender offer, each NRS DSU seller granted to the Company an option, exercisable in the Company’s sole discretion for a period of one year, to purchase an additional aggregate 199,687 NRS DSUs at the same purchase price. In addition, in July 2024, certain holders of NRS DSUs and shares of NRS’ Class B common stock sold an aggregate of 10,000 NRS DSUs and 142,500 shares of NRS’ Class B common stock to the Company, and, each of these sellers granted to the Company an option, exercisable in the Company’s sole discretion for a period of one year, to purchase an additional aggregate 10,000 NRS DSUs and 142,500 shares of NRS’ Class B common stock with the purchase price to be paid in shares of the Company’s Class B common stock with a value based on an average closing price of the Company’s Class B common stock at the time of the exercise notice. The NRS DSUs and shares in the exchange represented an aggregate of 0.2% of NRS’ outstanding capital stock on a fully diluted basis. The NRS DSUs and shares were exchanged for an aggregate of 13,042 and 12,094 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock that were issued in July 2024 and August 2024, respectively, and cash of $0.1 million, with an aggregate value of $1.0 million based on agreed-upon valuations of the NRS DSUs and NRS Class B common stock and the market value of the Company’s Class B common stock at the time of issuance.

Stock Options
Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s 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 Company’s 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.
| ASSUMPTIONS | |
|---|---|
| Average risk-free interest rate | 3.49% |
| Expected dividend yield | 0.5% |
| Expected volatility | 53.2% |
| Expected term | 4.0 years |
| Weighted-average grant date fair value | $16.58 |

The total grant date fair value of shares vested in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023 was $0.7 million, $0.7 million, and $0.5 million, respectively.
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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s Class B common stock over the life of the DSUs.
A summary of the status of the Company’s grants of DSUs is presented below:
| Number of Non-vested DSUs (in thousands) | Weighted- Average Grant- Date Fair Value | |

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 grantee’s 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 Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer.

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.

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.

Note 22—Commitments and Contingencies
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 Path’s 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 Path’s obligations under the Consent Decree it entered into with the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), as well as the sale of Straight Path’s 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 Path’s 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 plaintiff’s request for attorney’s fees (the “Attorney’s Fee Decision”). On December 16, 2024, the Court of Chancery issued a Final Order and Judgment, embodying the Post-Trial Decision and Attorney’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s operations, and if such changes were made it could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and operating results.
Regulatory Fees Audit
The Company’s 2017 FCC Form 499-A, which reported its calendar year 2016 revenue, was audited by the Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”). The USAC’s final decision imposed a $2.9 million charge on the Company for the Federal Telecommunications Relay Service (“TRS”) Fund. The Company has appealed the USAC’s 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 Company’s 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.
Purchase Commitments
At July 31, 2025, the Company had purchase commitments of $14.5 million primarily for services.
Performance Bonds
The Company has performance bonds issued through third parties for the benefit of various states in order to comply with the states’ financial requirements for money remittance licenses and telecommunications resellers. At July 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had aggregate performance bonds outstanding of $33.8 million and $32.4 million, respectively.
