IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT) is poised for significant transformation, leveraging the planned spin-offs of its high-margin and rapidly growing segments: National Retail Solution (NRS), BOSS Money, and Net2Phone (N2P). 

These strategic moves highlight IDT’s adeptness at navigating market dynamics to bolster shareholder value.

The deliberate postponement of these spin-offs, considering the prevailing market conditions, reflects a strategic patience aimed at ensuring these divestitures are executed at an optimal valuation to maximize shareholder returns.

By Q2 2024, these segments achieved self-sustainability, eliminating the need for further cash injections for growth. 

This milestone has allowed IDT to reallocate resources to potentially expedite growth in other areas or enhance shareholder value through dividends, underscoring a commitment to rewarding its investors.

Examination of IDT’s Core Business Segments

The NRS segment has shown impressive growth, with an addition of 1,500 POS terminals in 2Q24, reaching a total of 28,700 terminals. 

This growth signifies NRS’s successful penetration into the small retail market, differentiating itself from larger competitors with its targeted solutions and achieving a notable EBITDA margin of 25.8%.

BOSS Money

The BOSS Money money transfer business has seen remarkable growth in 2Q24, with a 37.2% YoY increase in transaction volume, leading to a 42% revenue surge. 

This growth, fueled by cross-marketing efforts with BOSS Revolution and an expanded retail agency network, has culminated in BOSS Money attaining positive EBITDA for the first time, signaling a promising future for this segment.

Net2Phone (N2P)

Net2Phone has also experienced significant growth, with an 18.4% increase in subscription revenue in 2Q24, driven by an expansion in customer seats, especially in the U.S. and LatAm markets. 

With a total of 375,000 seats, Net2Phone’s strengthening market presence and revenue streams are supported by substantial YoY EBITDA growth and an improved margin.

Traditional Communication

Despite a 13.1% YoY decline in revenue from IDT’s traditional communication segment, the adjusted EBITDA margin has remained stable at 7.6%, illustrating the segment’s resilience and its crucial role in supporting the company’s wider strategic goals and shareholder value enhancement.

Financial Valuation and Outlook

With a sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) valuation indicating a 17% upside from its current share price, IDT Corporation offers an attractive investment opportunity. 

The anticipated growth from the strategic spin-offs of NRS, BOSS Money, and Net2Phone supports a “buy” rating, presenting significant potential for growth and value creation.

Risks and Future Considerations

While IDT’s prospects appear promising, potential risks such as volatility in advertising revenue for NRS, execution risks for BOSS Money, and competitive pressures for Net2Phone could impact future performance. The sustained profitability of the traditional communication segment also remains vital.
