(Unaudited)
Note 1—Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of IDT Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “IDT”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended October 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2025. The balance sheet at July 31, 2024 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Company’s fiscal year ends on July 31 of each calendar year. Each reference below to a fiscal year refers to the fiscal year ending in the calendar year indicated (e.g., fiscal 2025 refers to the fiscal year ending July 31, 2025).

Note 2—Business Segment Information
The
Company has
The NRS segment is an operator of a nationwide point-of-sale (“POS”) network providing independent retailers with 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, and IDT Financial Services Limited (“IDT Financial Services”), the Company’s Gibraltar-based bank.
The net2phone segment is comprised of net2phone’s integrated cloud communications and contact center services.
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.
The Company’s reportable segments are distinguished by types of service, customers, and methods used to provide their services. The operating results of these business segments are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker. 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 Company evaluates the performance of its business segments based primarily on income (loss) from operations.
| 8 |
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.

Note 3—Revenue Recognition

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-consumer and through distributors and retailers.

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 would record 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 following table presents information about the Company’s contract liability balance:

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.
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:

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. In addition, the VIE is contractually required to use customer funds only for the customers’ pending money disbursements.
Note 6—Debt Securities
The following is a summary of available-for-sale debt securities:

The gross unrealized losses in the table above are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the consolidated balance sheets. As of October 31, 2024, 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 October 31, 2024 and July 31, 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.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The estimated fair value of the Company’s other financial instruments was determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting these data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, settlement assets, disbursement prefunding, other current assets, customer funds deposits, settlement liabilities, and other current liabilities. At October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, the carrying amount of these assets and liabilities approximated fair value because of the short period of time to maturity. The fair value estimates for cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents were classified as Level 1 and settlement assets, disbursement prefunding, other current assets, customer funds deposits, settlement liabilities, and other current liabilities were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other assets and other liabilities. At October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, the carrying amount of these assets and liabilities approximated fair value. The fair values were estimated based on the Company’s assumptions, which were classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 computed 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.

Legal Proceedings
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. That action was consolidated with a similar action that was initiated by The Arbitrage Fund. 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. On August 28, 2017, the Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The trial was held in August and December 2022, and closing arguments were presented on May 3, 2023. On October 3, 2023, the Court of Chancery dismissed all claims against the Company, and found that, contrary to the plaintiffs’ allegations, the class suffered no damages. On July 22, 2024, oral argument was held in the Court of Chancery on the issue of attorney’s fees sought by plaintiff’s counsel against Howard S. Jonas. On October 29, 2024, the Court of Chancery issued a Memorandum Opinion denying plaintiff’s counsel’s request for attorney’s fees. The parties are drafting the final order that will be submitted to the Court of Chancery for approval and entry. The plaintiffs will have 30 days from entry of the final order to file an appeal.
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.

Results of Operations
We evaluate the performance of our business segments based primarily on income (loss) from operations. Accordingly, the income and expense line items below income (loss) from operations are only included in our discussion of the consolidated results of operations.
As of October 31, 2024, we owned 94.0% of the outstanding shares of our subsidiary, net2phone 2.0, Inc., or net2phone 2.0, which owns and operates the net2phone segment, and 81.5% of the outstanding shares of National Retail Solutions, or NRS. On a fully diluted basis assuming all the vesting criteria related to various rights granted have been met, we would own 90.3% of the equity of net2phone 2.0 and 79.3% of NRS.
Reclassification
From and after February 1, 2024, we reclassified most of our technology and development expenses from “Selling, general and administrative” expense to a new “Technology and development” expense caption in the consolidated statements of income and reclassified an amount that was immaterial in all periods to “Direct cost of revenues.” The following table shows the amounts that were reclassified in the three months ended October 31, 2023 to conform to the current period’s presentation:
| (in millions) | ||||
| Selling, general and administrative expense reclassified to: | ||||
| Direct cost of revenues | $ | 0.4 | ||
| Technology and development expenses | $ | 12.4 | ||

Explanation of Performance Metrics
Our results of operations discussion include the following performance metrics:
| ● | for NRS, active point-of-sale, or POS, terminals, payment processing accounts, and recurring revenue, | |
| ● | for net2phone, seats and subscription revenue, and | |
| ● | for Traditional Communications, minutes of use. |
NRS uses two key metrics to measure the size of its customer base: active POS terminals and payment processing accounts. Active POS terminals are the number of POS terminals that have completed at least one transaction in the calendar month. It excludes POS terminals that have not been fully installed by the end of the month. Payment processing accounts are accounts that can generate revenue. It excludes accounts that have been approved but not activated. NRS’ recurring revenue is NRS’ revenue in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, excluding its revenue from POS terminal sales.
net2phone’s cloud communications offerings are priced on a per-seat basis, with customers paying based on the number of users in their organization. net2phone’s subscription revenue is its revenue in accordance with U.S. GAAP excluding its equipment revenue and revenue generated by a legacy SIP trunking offering in Brazil.
The trends and comparisons between periods for the number of active POS terminals, payment processing accounts, seats served, recurring revenue, and subscription revenue are used in the analysis of NRS’ or net2phone’s revenues and direct cost of revenues and are strong indications of the top-line growth and performance of the business.
Minutes of use is a nonfinancial metric that measures aggregate customer usage during a reporting period. Minutes of use is an important factor in BOSS Revolution’s and IDT Global’s revenue recognition since satisfaction of our performance obligation occurs when the customer uses our service. Minutes of use trends and comparisons between periods are used in the analysis of revenues and direct cost of revenues.

Direct Cost of Revenues. Direct cost of revenues decreased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024 primarily due to the decrease in the direct costs of NRS’ POS terminal sales.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024 primarily due to increases in sales commissions, employee compensation, legal fees, marketing expense, and bad debt expense. As a percentage of NRS’ revenue, NRS’ selling, general and administrative expense increased to 62.6% from 56.7% in the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Technology and Development.

Revenues. Revenues from BOSS Money increased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024 primarily because of increased transaction volume in BOSS Money’s digital and retail channels. BOSS Money continues to benefit from cross-marketing to BOSS Revolution customers and the expansion of its retail agent network.
Direct Cost of Revenues. Direct cost of revenues increased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024 primarily due to an increase in BOSS Money’s direct cost of revenues, which reflected the increase in BOSS Money’s revenue.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024 primarily due to increases in debit and credit card processing charges, employee compensation, and bank fees. The increase in card processing charges was the result of increased credit and debit card transactions through our BOSS Money app and other digital channels. As a percentage of Fintech’s revenue, Fintech’s selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 43.3% from 53.3% in the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Technology and Development. Technology and development expense increased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024 primarily due to an increase in depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by a decrease in employee compensation.
net2phone Segment
The net2phone segment, which represented 7.0% and 6.6% of our total revenues in the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, is comprised of net2phone’s integrated cloud communications and contact center services.

Revenues. net2phone’s revenues increased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024 driven primarily by the growth in subscription revenue primarily in the U.S. and Mexico, which reflected the increase in seats served at October 31, 2024 compared to October 31, 2023.
Direct Cost of Revenues. Direct cost of revenues increased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024 primarily due to the increase in revenues, with the largest increase in the U.S. market. net2phone’s focus on mid-sized businesses, multi-channel strategies, and localized offerings generated revenue growth that exceeded the increase in direct cost of revenues.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024 primarily due to decreases in marketing expense, employee compensation, and consulting expense, partially offset by an increase in sales commissions. As a percentage of net2phone’s revenues, net2phone’s selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 60.8% from 66.6% in the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Technology and Development. Technology and development expense increased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024 primarily due to an increase in employee compensation.
Traditional Communications Segment
The Traditional Communications segment, which represented 71.2% and 76.6% of our total revenues in the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, 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.
Traditional Communications’ most significant revenue streams are from IDT Digital Payments, BOSS Revolution, and IDT Global. IDT Digital Payments and BOSS Revolution are sold directly to consumers and through distributors and retailers. We receive payments for BOSS Revolution, traditional calling cards, and IDT Digital Payments prior to providing the services. We recognize the revenue when services are provided to the customer. Traditional Communications’ revenues tend to be somewhat seasonal, with the second fiscal quarter (which contains Christmas and New Year’s Day) and the fourth fiscal quarter (which contains Mother’s Day and Father’s Day) typically showing higher minute volumes.

Revenues. Revenues from IDT Digital Payments increased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024 primarily due to increases in revenues from the direct-to-consumer and enterprise and wholesale channels, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from the retail channel.
Revenues and minutes of use from BOSS Revolution decreased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024. BOSS Revolution continues to be impacted by persistent, market-wide trends, including the proliferation of unlimited calling plans offered by wireless carriers and mobile virtual network operators, and the increasing penetration of free and paid over-the-top voice, video conferencing, and messaging services.
Revenues from IDT Global slightly increased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024. Minutes of use from IDT Global slightly decreased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024. IDT Global’s revenues and minutes of use generally decline each fiscal quarter as communications globally continue to transition away from international voice calling. This trend was accelerated by the impact of COVID-19 as business communications shifted from calling to video conferencing and other collaboration platforms. We expect that IDT Global will continue to be adversely impacted by these trends, and minutes of use and revenues will likely continue to decline from quarter-to-quarter, as we seek to maximize economics rather than necessarily sustain minutes of use or revenues.
Direct Cost of Revenues. Direct cost of revenues decreased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024 primarily due to the decrease in BOSS Revolution’s minutes of use and direct cost of revenues.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024 primarily due to decreases in sales commissions and employee compensation, partially offset by increases in marketing expense and stock-based compensation. As a percentage of Traditional Communications’ revenue, Traditional Communications’ selling, general and administrative expense increased to 9.1% from 8.9% in the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Technology and Development. Technology and development expense decreased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024 primarily due to decreases in depreciation and amortization expense, employee compensation, and software license and maintenance expense.
Severance Expense. In the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, Traditional Communications incurred severance expense of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

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.
General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expense increased in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024 primarily because of an increase in audit and accounting fees, partially offset by a decrease in employee compensation. As a percentage of our consolidated revenues, Corporate general and administrative expense was 0.9% in both the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023.
Other Operating Gain, net. As discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report, we (as well as other defendants) were named in a class action on behalf of the stockholders of our former subsidiary, Straight Path Communications Inc., or Straight Path. We incurred legal fees of nil and $0.2 million in the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to this action. Also, we recorded offsetting gains from insurance claims for this matter of nil and $0.7 million in the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In fiscal 2024, we received the final payment from our insurance policy for these claims. On October 3, 2023, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware dismissed all claims against us, and found that, contrary to the plaintiffs’ allegations, the class suffered no damages. The plaintiffs will have 30 days from entry of the final order to file an appeal.
Consolidated
The following is a discussion of our consolidated stock-based compensation expense, and our consolidated income and expense line items below income from operations.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Total stock-based compensation expense included in consolidated selling, general and administrative expense and technology and development expense was $0.9 million and $0.8 million in the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in stock-based compensation expense was primarily due to certain equity grants to Bill Pereira, our President and Chief Operating Officer, in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, including a contingent bonus subject to the completion of certain financial milestones that may be paid, at Mr. Pereira’s option, in either shares of our Class B common stock or cash. The increase in stock-based compensation expense was partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense from the grant of deferred stock units, or DSUs, that, upon vesting, will entitle the grantees to receive shares of our Class B common stock. As of October 31, 2024, there was $1.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested DSUs, which is being recognized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service periods that end in October 2027.
Effective as of June 30, 2022, restricted shares of NRS’ Class B common stock were granted to certain NRS employees. The restrictions on the shares lapse in three installments, the first was on June 1, 2024, and the others are June 1, 2026 and June 1, 2027. As of October 31, 2024, unrecognized compensation cost related to NRS’ non-vested Class B common stock was an aggregate of $1.8 million. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period that ends in fiscal 2027.
As of October 31, 2024, there was an aggregate of $0.8 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting periods that end in fiscal 2028.

We have an investment in shares of convertible preferred stock of a communications company (the equity method investee, or EMI). As of October 31, 2024 and 2023, our ownership was 33.4% and 33.3%, respectively, of the EMI’s outstanding shares on an as converted basis. We account for this investment using the equity method since we can exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the EMI but do not have a controlling interest. We determined that on the dates of the acquisitions of the EMI’s shares, there were differences between our investment in the EMI and our 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 our interest in the EMI. These basis differences are being amortized over the 6-year estimated life of the customer list. “Equity in the net loss of investee” includes the amortization of equity method basis difference.
Provision for Income Taxes. The change in income tax expense in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024 was primarily due to differences in the amount of taxable income earned in the various taxing jurisdictions.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. The change in the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2024 was primarily due to increases in net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests in net2phone 2.0, NRS, and the VIE, partially offset by a decrease in net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests in Sochitel.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we expect our cash flow from operations and the balance of cash, cash equivalents, debt securities, and current equity investments that we held on October 31, 2024 will be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements during the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2025.
At October 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents, debt securities, and current equity investments of $180.4 million and working capital (current assets in excess of current liabilities) of $161.9 million.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
The following table includes our anticipated material cash requirements from contractual obligations and other commitments at October 31, 2024:

Operating Activities
Our cash flow from operations varies significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year, depending on our operating results and the timing of operating cash receipts and payments, generally trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities to $0.2 million from $14.8 million in the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, predominantly reflects the timing of our payments to cover anticipated BOSS Money disbursement prefunding.
Gross trade accounts receivable decreased to $48.2 million at October 31, 2024 from $48.6 million at July 31, 2024 primarily due to collections in the three months ended October 31, 2024 that were greater than amounts billed during the period, as well as from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Deferred revenue arises from sales of prepaid products and varies from period to period depending on the mix and the timing of revenues. Deferred revenue decreased to $29.3 million at October 31, 2024 from $30.4 million at July 31, 2024 primarily due to decreases in the BOSS Revolution’s and traditional calling cards’ deferred revenue balances.
Customer funds deposits liabilities increased to $95.0 million at October 31, 2024 from $91.9 million at July 31, 2024. Our restricted cash and cash equivalents included an aggregate of $95.0 million and $90.7 million at October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, respectively, held by IDT Financial Services and our VIE for these customer funds.
In September 2017, we and certain of our subsidiaries were certified by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, or NJEDA, as having met the requirements of the Grow New Jersey Assistance Act Tax Credit Program. The program provides for credits against a corporation’s New Jersey corporate business tax liability for maintaining a minimum number of employees in New Jersey, and that tax credits may be sold subject to certain conditions. On June 5, 2023, we received a 2019 tax credit certificate for $1.8 million from the NJEDA. In August 2023, we sold the certificate for cash of $1.6 million.
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 we have liability for periods for which we have not collected sales, use or other similar taxes, and if such an assertion or assertions were successful it could materially and adversely affect our 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 our operations, and if such changes were made it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position, and operating results.
As discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report, we (as well as other defendants) were named in a class action on behalf of the stockholders of our former subsidiary, Straight Path. On October 3, 2023, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware dismissed all claims against us, and found that, contrary to the plaintiffs’ allegations, the class suffered no damages. The plaintiffs will have 30 days from entry of the final order to file an appeal.
Investing Activities
Our capital expenditures were $5.3 million and $4.3 million in the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We currently anticipate that total capital expenditures in the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2025 will be $19 million to $20 million. We expect to fund our capital expenditures with our net cash provided by operating activities and cash, cash equivalents, debt securities, and current equity investments on hand.
In both the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, each of the EMI’s shareholders, including us, purchased additional shares of the EMI’s convertible preferred stock. We paid an aggregate of $0.7 million in both the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, to purchase additional shares. At October 31, 2024, we were committed to purchase additional shares of the EMI’s convertible preferred stock in January 2025 for $0.3 million.

Purchases of debt securities and equity investments were $12.7 million and $7.8 million in the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Proceeds from maturities and sales of debt securities and redemptions of equity investments were $9.9 million and $17.1 million in the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Financing Activities
In the three months ended October 31, 2024, we paid a cash dividend of $0.05 per share on our Class A and Class B common stock. In the three months ended October 31, 2024, we paid aggregate cash dividends of $1.3 million.
We distributed cash of nil and $0.1 million in the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, to the noncontrolling interests in certain of our subsidiaries.
Our subsidiary, IDT Telecom, Inc., or IDT Telecom, entered into a credit agreement, dated as of May 17, 2021, with TD Bank, N.A. for a revolving credit facility for up to a maximum principal amount of $25.0 million. As of July 15, 2024 and July 28, 2023, IDT Telecom and TD Bank, N.A. amended certain terms of the credit agreement. IDT Telecom may use the proceeds to finance working capital requirements and for certain closing costs of the facility. At October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, there were no amounts outstanding under this facility. In the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, IDT Telecom borrowed and repaid an aggregate of $14.2 million and $30.3 million , respectively, under the facility. The revolving credit facility is secured by primarily all of IDT Telecom’s assets. The principal outstanding bears interest per annum at the secured overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus 10 basis points, plus depending upon IDT Telecom’s leverage ratio as computed for the most recent fiscal quarter, 125 to 175 basis points. Interest is payable monthly, and all outstanding principal and any accrued and unpaid interest is due on May 16, 2026. IDT Telecom pays a quarterly unused commitment fee of 10 basis points on the average daily balance of the unused portion of the $25.0 million commitment. IDT Telecom is required to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants as well as maintain certain targets based on financial ratios during the term of the revolving credit facility. As of October 31, 2024, IDT Telecom was in compliance with all of the covenants.
In the three months ended October 31, 2023, we received cash from the exercise of stock options of $0.2 million for which we issued 12,500 shares of our Class B common stock. There were no stock option exercises in the three months ended October 31, 2024.
We have an existing stock repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors for the repurchase of shares of our Class B common stock. In January 2016, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 8.0 million shares in the aggregate. In the three months ended October 31, 2024, we repurchased 37,714 shares of our Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.3 million. In the three months ended October 31, 2023, we repurchased 125,470 shares of our Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2.8 million. At October 31, 2024, 4.4 million shares remained available for repurchase under the stock repurchase program.
In the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, we paid $1.1 million and $15,000, respectively, to repurchase 24,290 and 654 shares, respectively, of our Class B common stock that were tendered by employees of ours to satisfy the employees’ tax withholding obligations in connection with the lapsing of restrictions on restricted stock and shares issued for bonus payments. Such shares were repurchased by us based on their fair market value as of the close of business on the trading day immediately prior to the vesting date.
Other Sources and Uses of Resources
From time to time we consider spin-offs and other potential dispositions of certain of our subsidiaries. A spin-off may include the contribution of a significant amount of cash, cash equivalents, debt securities, and/or equity securities to the subsidiary prior to the spin-off, which would reduce our capital resources. There is no assurance that a transaction will be completed.
We intend to, where appropriate, make strategic investments and acquisitions to complement, expand, and/or enter into new businesses. In considering acquisitions and investments, we search for opportunities to profitably grow our existing businesses and/or to add qualitatively to the range and diversification of businesses in our portfolio. We cannot guarantee that we will be presented with acquisition opportunities that meet our return-on-investment criteria, or that our efforts to make acquisitions that meet our criteria will be successful.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
Foreign Currency Risk
Revenues from our international operations were 21% and 26% of our consolidated revenues in the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. A significant portion of our revenues is in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Our foreign currency exchange risk is somewhat mitigated by our ability to offset a portion of these non-U.S. Dollar-denominated revenues with operating expenses that are paid in the same currencies. While the impact from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates affects our revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, the net amount of our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate changes at the end of each reporting period is generally not material.
Investment Risk
We hold a portion of our assets in debt and equity securities, including hedge funds, for strategic and speculative purposes. At October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, the value of our debt and equity security holdings was an aggregate of $39.4 million and $35.0 million, respectively, which represented 7% and 6% of our total assets at October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, respectively. Investments in debt and equity securities carry a degree of risk and depend to a great extent on correct assessments of the future course of price movements of securities and other instruments. There can be no assurance that our investment managers will be able to accurately predict these price movements. The securities markets have in recent years been characterized by great volatility and unpredictability. Accordingly, the value of our investments may go down as well as up and we may not receive the amounts originally invested upon redemption.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 31, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
