Future Outlook

IDT expects to generate Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $141-$145 million in fiscal year 2026, under a revised non-GAAP definition that excludes non-cash compensation expense. The company anticipates continued growth in Merchant Services and SaaS fee revenues for NRS, driving increases in revenue per terminal and Adjusted EBITDA. BOSS Money aims to build market share through digital channel expansion, cross-marketing, WhatsApp integration, and cross-border digital wallet deployment. net2phone will focus on developing and deploying AI Agent and Coach solutions, expecting 30% or more of sales to include AI solutions by year-end FY26, while steadily expanding its UCaaS and CCaaS customer base. IDT Digital Payments and BOSS Revolution will continue to migrate retail channel customers to higher-margin digital channels in FY 2026. IDT plans to invest in new growth initiatives, evaluate potential bolt-on acquisitions and investments, and return cash to stockholders through opportunistic buybacks and its quarterly dividend.

Management Comments

• "IDT's fourth quarter capped off a strong fiscal year, highlighted by full-year double-digit Adjusted EBITDA expansion at each of our operating segments, combining to drive a 43% increase in consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to a record $129 million." Shmuel Jonas, CEO.
• "At NRS, Merchant Services and SaaS Fees revenue drove the topline growth, while NRS operating leverage contributed to net margin expansion. In fiscal 2026, we expect that Merchant Services and SaaS fee revenues will again drive increases in revenue per terminal and Adjusted EBITDA." Shmuel Jonas, CEO.
• "BOSS Money's fourth quarter and full year results reflected strong digital channel expansion, which is now contributing over 80% of our remittance volume. The ongoing, industry-wide, customer led migration from retail to digital provides a large opportunity, and in the year ahead we expect to continue building market share by cross-marketing within the larger BOSS eco-system while expanding our reach through our integration with WhatsApp and deployment of a cross-border digital wallet." Shmuel Jonas, CEO.
• "At net2phone, we are excited by the potential we see in the marketplace of AI agentic offerings and the progress we have made to date in developing and deploying solutions. Already, approximately 1 in 10 of our sales conversations includes an AI agent. In fiscal 2026, we will focus on building out net2phone AI Agent and Coach, our data-driven AI coaching agent, and deploying tailored solutions for specific industry verticals and other opportunities. With this investment, we believe that by year end, 30% or more of our sales will include one or both of our AI solutions, even as we continue to steadily expand our base of UCaaS and CCaaS customers." Shmuel Jonas, CEO.
• "Across IDT, we expect to build on the considerable progress we made during fiscal 2025, with topline growth and stronger cash generation. In all our markets, consumer attitudes, government policy and/or technology are driving rapid change, and we are working hard to capitalize on the exciting opportunities in each of our growth businesses. Backed by the cash on our balance sheet and strengthening financial performance, we will continue to invest in new growth initiatives, evaluate potential bolt-on acquisitions and investments, and return cash to our stockholders through opportunistic buybacks and our quarterly dividend." Shmuel Jonas, CEO.

Industry Context

The filing highlights a significant industry-wide shift from retail to digital channels in money transfer, which BOSS Money is actively capitalizing on. The increasing adoption of AI in customer service and communication solutions (UCaaS/CCaaS) is also a key trend net2phone is addressing with its AI Agent and Coach offerings. The eSim digital catalog launch by IDT Digital Payments targets the rapidly growing travel data roaming market, indicating adaptation to evolving consumer travel and connectivity needs. The structural decline in traditional voice calling (BOSS Revolution and IDT Global carrier revenues) reflects a broader industry trend of declining legacy communication services.
