The traditional communications segment increased adjusted EBITDA for the third consecutive quarter, surpassing $20 million.
IDT Corp (NYSE:IDT) increased its regular quarterly dividend by 20% and repurchased a record level of shares, demonstrating strong shareholder returns.
Operating cash flow generation was significantly lower compared to the same quarter last year, primarily due to the timing of cash balances.
The company is experiencing slower revenue growth in Boss Money due to a focus on optimizing gross profit per transaction.
NRS is slightly behind its target for adding new terminals, attributed to the need for training new salespeople.
Foreign exchange fluctuations negatively impacted Net2Phone's revenue growth in dollar terms.
Concerns were raised about IDT Corp (NYSE:IDT)'s conservative approach to investing in growth, particularly in the competitive Boss Money segment.
Q: Can you provide an update on NRS's terminal growth and advertising revenue? Are there plans for international expansion? A: Advertising revenue increased by 12% year over year, with a significant 40% growth in the data side of the business. Regarding international expansion, it's not a current focus due to the growth opportunities in the U.S. However, if pursued, it would likely be through acquisitions. Terminal growth is slightly behind expectations, but efforts are being made to catch up with new salespeople being trained.
Q: How is Net2Phone performing, and are there any industry trends affecting it? A: Net2Phone is seeing slightly larger deals and has a strong pipeline, expecting better performance in the second half of the year. Currency fluctuations have been a headwind, but the company is optimistic about increasing ARPU and the impact of AI on the business. Industry trends like the MetaSwitch sale and Avaya's changes are noted, but not directly tied to current results.
Q: What are the working capital requirements for Boss Money, and how does IDT manage its cash balance? A: IDT's strong balance sheet allows it to fund Boss Money's working capital needs without incurring financing costs. The company avoids interest expenses by not relying on credit lines, unlike competitors. Cash is used opportunistically for investments, shareholder returns, and potential acquisitions.
Q: How does IDT balance profitability and growth in Boss Money, especially with competitors spending heavily on marketing? A: IDT focuses on both profitability and growth, with digital channels contributing significantly to profits. The company is cautious about spending but is exploring ways to increase growth without excessive spending. The retail channel's profitability is being improved, freeing up capital for digital investments.
Q: What prompted the decision to increase share repurchases, and how does investor feedback influence capital allocation? A: Investor feedback frequently highlighted the large cash balance, prompting IDT to increase share repurchases and dividends. The company aims to be shareholder-friendly and saw a good opportunity to buy back shares.
Q: Are there any specific growth trends or opportunities for NRS, particularly in terms of geographic or vertical expansion? A: NRS is experiencing growth across all channels, with new initiatives like integrated delivery services through DoorDash and liquor company integrations. These efforts aim to enhance inventory management and expand service offerings, contributing to revenue growth.
Q: Will IDT disclose the number of screens added to NRS locations, and could this become a significant revenue stream? A: While specific numbers aren't disclosed, IDT is optimistic about the potential of screens as a revenue stream. As the number of screens becomes more material, it may be reported separately. The company is exploring advertising expansion opportunities.
Q: How are new market expansions for Boss Money, such as Venezuela and Brazil, performing? A: New market expansions are generally performing better than expected, though scale is necessary to fully realize benefits. Venezuela is doing well, while Brazil is not yet live. Each new country presents an opportunity for growth.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 12, 2025) - NexGen Energy Ltd. (TSX: NXE) (NYSE: NXE) (ASX: NXG) ('NexGen' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment has granted approval for NexGen's 2025 Site Program (the 'Program') at its 100%-owned Rook I Property in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. The Program includes the establishment of a temporary exploration airstrip, expansion of the exploration accommodation camp facilities by 373 beds and site access road improvements. The Program will commence in the coming weeks and conclude with camp commissioning in Q1 2026. This program builds on NexGen's disciplined, strategic approach to implementing infrastructure enhancements required to support the Company's exploration programs at PCE and that forecast across NexGen's dominant land package in northwestern Saskatchewan into the future. The drill results of high-grade basement hosted mineralization discovered at PCE 3.5km east from the Arrow deposit indicate another significant scale zone 'Arrow style' of mineralization is materializing and warrant these infrastructure enhancements incorporating best practice safety and environmental principles. Incorporating NexGen's longstanding approach to economic capacity building, the Program will prioritize Local Priority Area participation, generating new employment and contracting opportunities for Indigenous and community members, reflecting NexGen's industry leading and genuine approach to local communities. Leigh Curyer, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented: 'The 2025 Site Program marks an exciting strategic milestone for our current and future activities, with key infrastructure improvements that will optimize safety, environmental protection, and efficiency for our people and our programs. These infrastructure enhancements create the conditions for a high-performing operational platform capable of fully evaluating the significant resource potential across our Rook I Property. This Program is a direct reflection of NexGen's proactive approach to responsible resource development, elite planning and demonstrates our continued commitment to building lasting value while creating meaningful opportunities for local Indigenous and community members.' The Honourable Premier of Saskatchewan Scott Moe, commented: " I congratulate and thank NexGen for their major investment in Saskatchewan to date. The Rook I Project is one of the most significant projects across the country and we are keen to see it prioritized by the Government of Canada accordingly. Our government is proud to approve these infrastructure activities which are well within our jurisdiction and that are scheduled to commence imminently. NexGen is an example of strategically delivering a generational opportunity for Saskatchewan to become the world's leader in the mining of uranium, and I look forward to working with newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney to expedite the final Federal approval of this generational opportunity for Saskatchewan and Canada.' 2025 Site Program Overview Temporary Exploration Airstrip Expansion of Temporary Exploration Camp Facilities Site Access Improvements NexGen has the most significant land position in Saskatchewan's southwest Athabasca Basin, where it holds over 190,000 hectares. From an exploration perspective, the Company is currently focused on the continued material growth of mineralization at PCE - located just 3.5 km east of the world-class Arrow Deposit. Planning is already underway for potential future programs at PCE as the balance of the 2025 drilling program is preparing to recommence in June. About NexGen NexGen Energy is a Canadian company focused on delivering clean energy fuel for the future.
