2024 Annual Report
Dear Fellow Stockholders:
IDT's record fiscal year 2024 results were driven by strong top and bottom-line performance from each of our three high- growth businesses - NRS, BOSS Money and net2phone. NRS generated record income from operations while BOSS Money and net2phone turned cash flow positive. Meanwhile, the larger, mature businesses in the Traditional Communications segment continued to generate strong cash-flows reflecting our ongoing efforts to streamline operations and optimize pricing.
We enter fiscal 2025 positioned for a productive year. We expect IDT to grow our consolidated revenue after over a decade of topline declines and to generate an unprecedented level of Adjusted EBITDA.
Underneath the hood, we are executing on our product development roadmap to further accelerate growth and profitability. Here are just a few of our priorities:
NRS has begun rolling out two new POS formats. A free-standing NRS kiosk enables customers to self-order and pay for food.
NRS's Android tablet POS expands our addressable market to small-format retailers where our fixed location, counter-top POS is not always a good fit - think small format vape and tobacco shops, beauty salons, and cafes. These are large markets that offer tremendous long-term growth potential. Now, we can begin to tailor offerings to these retailers on hardware suited to their needs.
BOSS Money continues to grow rapidly relative to the more established operators in the international money remittance space. In fiscal 2025, we expect to maintain topline momentum while boosting profit margins by further refining pricing methodologies and enhancing efficiency in every part of the unit's operations. We will also launch the BOSS Money digital wallet - enabling customers and recipients in the US and some key destinations to load, receive, store, and spend funds through their BOSS Money account.
At net2phone, we will drive ARPU growth and further expand our market to larger, mid-market enterprises with differentiated Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) offerings featuring a powerful AI assistant for call transcription, sentiment evaluation, and drafting follow up emails. Our Latin American customers will appreciate finding WhatsApp messaging available within our application. Also this year, we'll begin bridging our recently acquired Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) platform, uContact, into our proprietary, core native application to enhance the user experience and speed further product development.
As we implement these and other development priorities during the year ahead, we expect to open new markets and accelerate growth in these three businesses, even as we continue to work on early-stage initiatives for the next generation of IDT's evolution. We appreciate your trust and investment in IDT and look forward to reporting to you on our progress throughout the year ahead.
Sincerely,
Shmuel Jonas
Chief Executive Officer
