Speaker #3: Thank you, Bill. And thanks to everyone on the call for joining us this evening. IDT's fourth quarter capped off a strong fiscal year, highlighted by accelerated top-line and adjusted EBITDA growth.

Shmuel Jonas: Thank you, Bill, and thanks to everyone on the call for joining us this evening. IDT's Q4 capped off a strong fiscal year, highlighted by accelerated top line and adjusted EBITDA growth. Our three high-margin growth segments, NRS, Fintech, and net2phone, each increased their respective quarterly and full-year contributions, while our traditional Communications segment generated more adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2026 than it did in fiscal 2025 or 2024. At NRS, we continue to develop and deploy new high-value functionalities for our retailers, such as our recent Uber Eats integration following the Grubhub and DoorDash partnerships we announced last year. These advances are supplementing other tailwinds driving gains in merchant services revenues. Also, in the Q4, advertising and data revenue returned to growth, bolstered by a recent acquisition. Taken together, these developments helped drive a 47% year-over-year increase in NRS's Q4 adjusted EBITDA.

Shmuel Jonas: Looking ahead, we are working on several product initiatives to increase sales to our existing retailer base and to attract new retailers to the NRS network. Our BOSS Money Remittance business shares its brand identity, distribution networks, and addressable markets with our other BOSS-branded offerings. In recent years, we invested heavily to build and improve our BOSS apps. That strategy is paying off as BOSS Money continues to grow rapidly, thanks in part to the quality of our apps and our customer-centric service. At BOSS Money, remittances surpassed a 30 million annual transaction run rate for the first time in May, thanks to strong Mother's Day results in our digital channel. This channel contributed 88% of our total transaction volume in the Q4, with transactions and revenue both increasing by 20% plus.

For businesses across the globe, our agentic AI solutions—AI Agent and Coach—combined with our new integration layer, enable customers to connect their everyday business applications and workflow tools with Net Phone's suite of services.

Shmuel Jonas: Our agentic AI solutions, AI Agent and Coach, combined with our new integration layer, enables customers to connect their everyday business applications and workflow tools with net2phone's suite of services. net2phone's AI tools and applications are driving nearly every conversation with our clients. That process is delivering new logos and accelerating accretive sales. net2phone is on track to surpass the $100 million ARR milestone in the current quarter, and we expect continued top-line expansion throughout fiscal 2027. Overall, IDT is well-positioned as we begin the new fiscal year, with accelerating top-line growth, increasing cash generation, and a debt-free balance sheet that affords us strategic flexibility. Marcelo will discuss our financial results.

Speaker #3: Now, Marcelo will discuss our financial results.

Speaker #4: Thank you, Shmuel. I apologize for my voice. I am trying to recover from a cold, so I may have to pause a little more to take a breath from time to time.

Marcelo Fischer: Thank you, Shmuel. I apologize for my voice. I am trying to recover from a cold, so I may have to pause a little more to take a breath from time to time. Okay, as always, my remarks will focus on year-over-year comparisons in order to set aside the seasonal impacts on our business. Our Q4 financial results were very strong and capped off the best year in IDT's operational history. We generated record quarterly and full year gross profit, gross profit margin, and Adjusted EBITDA. The key dynamic driving our financial performance continues to be the increasing contributions of our three segments containing our higher margin growth businesses, NRS, Fintech, and net2phone, relative to the larger, lower margin traditional communications segment.

Speaker #4: Okay, so as always, my remarks will focus on year-over-year comparisons in order to set aside the seasonal impacts on our business. Our fourth quarter's financial results were very strong and capped off the best year in IDT's operational history.

Speaker #4: We generated record quarterly and full-year gross profit, gross profit margin, and adjusted EBITDA. The key dynamic driving our financial performance continues to be the increasing contributions of our three segments, containing our higher-margin, growth businesses.

Speaker #4: NRS, fintech, and net phone relative to the larger, lower-margin traditional communications segment. In fiscal 2026, the three higher-growth segments boosted their aggregate adjusted EBITDA contribution by $22 million, to 53% of consolidated adjusted EBITDA exclusive of corporate overhead, compared to 46% in fiscal 2025, while generating only one-third of our consolidated revenue.

Marcelo Fischer: In fiscal 2026, the three higher growth segments boosted the aggregate Adjusted EBITDA contribution by $22 million to 53% of consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, exclusive of corporate overhead, compared to 46% in fiscal 2025, while generating only one-third of our consolidated revenue. We expect that this ongoing rotation will continue in the coming quarters and years and be the key driver for our continued growth. Looking at our consolidated results, Q4 revenue increased by 7%, while full fiscal year revenue increased 5%, accelerating from 2% growth in fiscal 2025. For a company like IDT, where the top line had decreased for many years because of the decline of the international long-distance voice paid minute market, generating two consecutive years of top-line accelerating growth while simultaneously expanding our gross margin at a very healthy pace, is indeed a gratifying interaction.

Speaker #4: We expect that this ongoing rotation will continue in the coming quarters and years, and be the key driver for our continued growth. Looking at our consolidated results, fourth quarter revenue increased by 7%, while full fiscal year revenue increased 5%.

Speaker #4: Accelerating from 2% growth in fiscal 2025—for a company like IDT, where the top line had decreased for many years because of the decline in the international long-distance voice paid-minute market—generating two consecutive years of top-line accelerating growth, while simultaneously expanding our gross margin at a very healthy pace, is indeed a gratifying reflection.

Marcelo Fischer: Consolidated gross profit and gross margin attained record quarterly and full fiscal year levels, driving a strong increase in both Adjusted EBITDA and net income. The full-year Adjusted EBITDA increase of 17% to $154.6 million exceeded the revised guidance range of $150 to $152 million that we provided when we released our Q3 results. NRS closed the fiscal year with its strongest quarter yet. Total revenue in Q4 increased 31% to $45 million, led by an increase of 31% in merchant services revenue to $28.5 million, and a 49% increase in advertising and data revenue to $10 million. NRS's Adjusted EBITDA in Q4 grew 47% year over year for an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 31%. In addition to the positive revenue growth impact, Q4 gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA benefited from a one-time import tariff refund recorded in cost of revenue.

Marcelo Fischer: Excluding it, growth margin was in line with recent quarters. Tariffs were less important on a full-year basis, so the full year's growth margin of 92% is the better indicator of our future performance. Nevertheless, you can see the underlying operating leverage that we continue to scale the business. Our Rule of 40 score climbed to 60 from 49 in Q4 2025. Income from operations more than doubled to $12 million in Q4. This increase was positively impacted by non-recurring legal expenses that were recorded in the comparative year-ago quarter. A word on how we will report a key performance indicator of the NRS network going forward. Starting this quarter, we are sharing in our earnings releases two new KPIs, retailer locations and average monthly growth profit per location.

Speaker #4: A word on how we will report a key performance indicator of the NRS network going forward. Starting this quarter, we are sharing, in our earnings releases, two new KPIs: retailer locations and average monthly gross profit per location.

Speaker #4: And we are retiring the monthly average recurring revenue per terminal KPI to more meaningfully and precisely reflect the economic performance of our retailer network.

Marcelo Fischer: We are retiring the monthly average recurring revenue per terminal KPI to more meaningfully and precisely reflect the economic performance of our retailer network. BOSS Money represents the dominant driver of results within our Fintech segment. It contributed 90% of Fintech revenue in Q4, and its digital channel, in turn, is what drives BOSS Money revenue growth. Digital channel transactions increased by 20% in Q4, while revenue increased 22%. Digital send volume, namely the principal funds our customers remitted, increased 38% as our customers sent more money per transaction. The new federal tax on remittances, which impacts only cash-originated transfers typically conducted at retailer agents, have further accelerated the longstanding migration of transactions from retail to digital alternatives. Although revenue from our retailer agent channel declined 17% in Q4, every customer who migrated from retail to digital contributed more profitable transactions.

Marcelo Fischer: We ended the year with 88% of our total BOSS Money transactions originating in our BOSS apps. Turning now to the larger Fintech segment in which we report BOSS Money. During Q4, gross profit margin expanded by 650 basis points year over year to 66%, reflecting mainly the mix shift to digital, the higher average send amounts, and also better pricing terms from our payout partners. As BOSS Money continues to grow and scale, we are deploying AI-driven process automation throughout the business to achieve measurable productivity gains. Those gains have enhanced the operating leverage effect on the Fintech segment profitability quite significantly. Fintech revenue grew 14% to $176 million during fiscal 2026, while income from operations grew 40% and Adjusted EBITDA 41%. Our bottom line was also boosted by increased contribution from the other smaller businesses in our Fintech segment, including our fully licensed Gibraltar-based bank, IDT Financial Services.

Income from operations grew 84% to $9.1 million, and Adjusted EBITDA grew 33% to $16.1 million. We are quite pleased with net2phone's strong operating leverage, with Adjusted EBITDA margins increasing to approximately 17%, even as we invested throughout the year in building out our AI capabilities. Finally, in discussing our segment's performance, I want to call your attention to the traditional communications segment, which once again outperformed our expectations.

Quarterly gross profit during fiscal 2026 remained steady throughout the year at about $41 million, while declining 4% for the full year to $163 million. We continue to benefit from top-line growth at IDT Digital Payments, while the GP contribution from IDT Global and BOSS Revolution Calling declined in the low single digits year-over-year, as we expected. For the full year, Adjusted EBITDA increased 1% to $77 million, as we compensated for the decline in GP by reducing SG&A expense by nearly 6% compared to fiscal 2025. We continue to believe that this segment will remain a reliable contributor to our cash generation for many years to come.

Marcelo Fischer: In fiscal 2026, the segment grew both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA and increased its Adjusted EBITDA for the second consecutive year. Quarterly gross profit during fiscal 2026 remained steady throughout the year at about $41 million, while declining 4% for the full-year to $163 million.

Marcelo Fischer: From a balance sheet perspective, we ended the year with $272 million in unrestricted cash and liquid investments, and we have no debt. We continue to repurchase shares opportunistically, buying back approximately 31,000 shares for $2 million in Q4 and approximately 422,000 shares for $21 million over the course of fiscal 2026. In terms of our financial outlook for fiscal 2027, we are already working hard to generate strong results on top of our fiscal 2026 records. Continuing a trend that we have established for the past few years, we expect to, again, expand consolidated gross profit by double digits to a range of $545 to $555 million, an increase of 11% at the midpoint.

Speaker #4: In terms of adjusted EBITDA, we are working to build on the record $155 million we achieved in fiscal 2026, and to reach $176 to $180 million in fiscal 2027, with each of our operating segments expanding its contribution.

Marcelo Fischer: In terms of Adjusted EBITDA, we are working to build on the record $155 million we achieved in fiscal 2026 and to reach $176 to $180 million in fiscal 2027, with each of our operating segments expanding its contribution. This represents a 15% increase year-over-year at the midpoint. To sum up, fiscal 2026 was the best year in IDT's history, and we finish it with our strongest quarter. The rotation toward our high-margin growth businesses is accelerating. Our top line is growing faster, and we are entering fiscal 2026 debt-free with a stronger balance sheet and a lot of momentum. Shmuel and I will do our best to answer your questions. Operator, back to you for Q&A.

Speaker #2: The first question is from Emerlin Kaleem Bekav with Freedom Broker. Please go ahead with your question.

Speaker #3: Yes, hello everyone. Thank you for taking my questions. First, I wanted to ask about the outlook for the next financial year. Could you please walk us through the main drivers behind the EBITDA guidance across the different segments?

Emirlan Kelimbetov: Yes. Hello, everyone. Thanks for taking my questions. First I want to ask on the next financial year outlook, could you please walk us through the main drivers behind the EBITDA guidance across the different segments?

Amirlan Kalymbekov: Yes. Hello, everyone. Thanks for taking my questions. First I want to ask on the next financial year outlook, could you please walk us through the main drivers behind the EBITDA guidance across the different segments?

Speaker #4: Yeah. I mean, as I just mentioned in my remarks, we expect to grow EBITDA in each one of our segments. To a large extent, some of it is going to mirror the same pattern of growth that you saw in fiscal 2026.

Marcelo Fischer: Yeah. As I just mentioned in my remarks, we expect to grow EBITDA in each one of our segments. To a large extent, some of it is going to mirror the same pattern of growth that you saw in fiscal 2026. For example, in fiscal 2026, we said we were going to grow NRS revenue by 20% to 25% and EBITDA between 25% to 30%. We achieved that. For this coming fiscal year, we are again assuming almost the same type of guidance that NRS will again be able to grow revenue 20% to 25%, as well as EBITDA at a higher clip than that. The same type of guidance is still also at Fintech, where we believe that EBITDA will continue to grow quite nicely.

Marcelo Fischer: Yeah. As I just mentioned in my remarks, we expect to grow EBITDA in each one of our segments.

For example, in fiscal 2026, we said we were going to grow NRS revenue by 20% to 25% and EBITDA between 25% to 30%. We achieved that. For this coming fiscal year, we are again assuming almost the same type of guidance that NRS will again be able to grow revenue 20% to 25%, as well as EBITDA at a higher clip than that. The same type of guidance is still also at Fintech, where we believe that EBITDA will continue to grow quite nicely.

Speaker #4: For example, in fiscal '26, we said we were going to grow NRS revenue by 20% to 25%, and EBITDA between 25% to 30%.

Speaker #4: We achieved that. And for this coming fiscal year, we are again assuming almost the same type of guidance that NRS will again be able to grow revenue 20 to 25 percent, as well as EBITDA at a higher clip than that.

Speaker #4: And the same type of guidance is still also at Fintech, where we believe that EBITDA will continue to grow quite nicely. It's going to continue to benefit from the scale of the business as it grows.

Marcelo Fischer: It will continue to benefit from the scale of the business as it grows, from the efficiencies that we have incorporated into the business processes of the segment, from better performance, even from the smaller businesses within that segment. In the case of net2phone, we budgeted a very small increase in EBITDA for this coming year. We did the same thing last year, as a matter of fact. They ended up delivering a lot higher EBITDA last year than we had budgeted for them. Again, for this year, we are trying to budget and allow the management team of net2phone to redeploy a lot of the EBITDA coming from the growth back into the business so they could continue to roll out and improve on their AI development roadmap.

Speaker #4: From the efficiencies that we have incorporated into the business processes of the segment, we have seen better performance even from the smaller businesses within that segment.

Speaker #4: And in the case of Netophone, we budgeted a very small increase in EBITDA for this coming year. We did the same thing last year, as a matter of fact.

Speaker #4: They ended up delivering a much higher EBITDA last year than we had budgeted for them. And again, for this year, we are trying to budget and allow the management team of Netophone to redeploy a lot of the EBITDA coming from the growth back into the business, so they can continue to roll out and improve on their AI development roadmap.

Speaker #4: And even in our traditional segment, we hope to once again be able to demonstrate that that segment is no longer a contracting segment, but it will be, once again for the third year in a row, a segment that's actually adding to total EBITDA.

Marcelo Fischer: Even within our traditional segment now, we hope to once again be able to demonstrate that segment is no longer a contracting segment, but it will be, once again, for the third year in a row, a segment that is actually adding to total EBITDA.

Marcelo Fischer: Even within our traditional segment now, we hope to once again be able to demonstrate that segment is no longer a contracting segment, but it will be, once again, for the third year in a row, a segment that is actually adding to total EBITDA.

Speaker #3: Got it. That's helpful. Thank you. And as we stopped at Netophone, may I ask one more on that segment, please? So, where are you seeing the clearest commercial impact from the AI products so far in Netophone?

Emirlan Kelimbetov: Got it. That is helpful. Thank you. As we stopped at net2phone, may I ask one more on that segment, please? Where are we seeing the clearest commercial impact from the AI products so far in net2phone?

Amirlan Kalymbekov: Got it. That is helpful. Thank you. As we stopped at net2phone, may I ask one more on that segment, please? Where are we seeing the clearest commercial impact from the AI products so far in net2phone?

Speaker #4: Yeah, I mean, I would say that we're definitely seeing clear evidence of our product being used. I mean, mostly, I try not to talk about other customers without their permission, but I can talk about IDT as a customer of Netophone.

Shmuel Jonas: Well, I would say that we are definitely seeing clear evidence of our product being used. Mostly I try not to talk about other customers without their permission, but I can talk about IDT as a customer of net2phone for our own solutions and in our own customer service areas, as well as in lots of other areas in the company where they are helping us. We are using it tremendously. I would say probably 70-plus percent of communications are being handled by AI in some way, shape, or form. Some of those from start to finish, some of them require an agent at some point. But it has been a real game changer in terms of the cost and the efficiency of servicing our customers. From the customers I have spoken to at net2phone, the same thing is true from their perspective.

Shmuel Jonas: Well, I would say that we are definitely seeing clear evidence of our product being used. Mostly I try not to talk about other customers without their permission, but I can talk about IDT as a customer of net2phone for our own solutions and in our own customer service areas, as well as in lots of other areas in the company where they are helping us.

From the customers I have spoken to at net2phone, the same thing is true from their perspective.

Speaker #4: For our own solutions, and in our own customer service areas, as well as in lots of other areas in the company where they're helping us, we're using a tremendous amount—I mean, I would say probably 70-plus percent of communications are being handled by AI in some way, shape, or form.

Speaker #4: Some of those are handled from start to finish; some of them require an agent at some point. But, I mean, it's been a real game changer in terms of the cost and the efficiency of servicing our customers.

Speaker #4: And from the customers I have spoken to at Netophone, the same thing is true from their perspective.

Speaker #3: Understood. Thanks. Okay, and then one on NRS, if I may. So now, how are you thinking about the balance between network growth and monetization of the existing retailer base from here?

Emirlan Kelimbetov: Understood. Thanks. Okay, one on NRS, if I may. How are you thinking about the balance between network growth and monetization of the existing retailer base from here?

Amirlan Kalymbekov: Understood. Thanks. Okay, one on NRS, if I may. How are you thinking about the balance between network growth and monetization of the existing retailer base from here?

Speaker #4: I would like to grow the network much more than we've been growing it. I'll say that just as a starting point. And we're going to be investing more in our sales growth.

Shmuel Jonas: I would like to grow the network much more than we've been growing it. I'll say that just as a starting point, and we're going to be investing more in our sales growth. That being said, for a long time, we looked at every retailer as equal to another retailer, and we focused more so on the quantity rather than the quality. We've become much more, I don't want to use the word analytical, but I'll say that we've become much more regimented about making sure that we're going after the right kinds of stores that produce the right results for our business. Sometimes that, unfortunately, leads to less gross number of ads, but the revenue coming from those locations tend to be quite a lot better than they were beforehand.

Shmuel Jonas: I would like to grow the network much more than we've been growing it. I'll say that just as a starting point, and we're going to be investing more in our sales growth.

Speaker #4: That being said, for a long time, we looked at every retailer as equal to another retailer, and we focused more so on the quantity rather than the quality.

Speaker #4: And we've become much more—I don't want to use the word "analytical," but I'll say that we've become much more regimented about making sure that we're going after the right kinds of stores that produce the right results for our business.

Speaker #4: And sometimes, that unfortunately leads to less growth in the number of ads, but the revenue coming from those locations tends to be quite a lot better than it was beforehand.

Speaker #4: And you can see that playing out in our numbers, and I think you'll continue seeing that playing out into the future. That being said, we are going to be hiring quite a lot of salespeople this year and really upping our game to make sure that we also bring in higher numbers than what we've been bringing in.

Shmuel Jonas: You can see that playing out in our numbers, and I think you'll continue seeing that playing out into the future. That being said, we are going to be hiring quite a lot of salespeople this year and really upping our game to make sure that we've also bringing in higher numbers than what we've been bringing in.

Shmuel Jonas: You can see that playing out in our numbers, and I think you'll continue seeing that playing out into the future. That being said, we are going to be hiring quite a lot of salespeople this year and really upping our game to make sure that we've also bringing in higher numbers than what we've been bringing in.

Speaker #3: Great, thank you. And please, yes, the last one from me on traditional communications. Could I ask you to add some more color on the main drivers you see for EBITDA growth in the next financial year for that segment?

Emirlan Kelimbetov: Great. Thank you. Please, yes, the last one from me on traditional communications. Could I ask you to add some more color on the main drivers you see for EBITDA growth in the next financial year for that segment?

Amirlan Kalymbekov: Great. Thank you. Please, yes, the last one from me on traditional communications. Could I ask you to add some more color on the main drivers you see for EBITDA growth in the next financial year for that segment?

Speaker #4: I mean, again, I think the general switch from a lot of our customers becoming digital-first customers rather than retail-first customers has definitely allowed our margins to improve.

Shmuel Jonas: Again, I think the general switch from a lot of our customers becoming digital-first customers rather than retail-first customers has definitely allowed our margins to improve. Again, from a very macro point, if a customer goes into a store and they spend $10, $2.50 of that revenue goes directly to the store, if not more. When a customer comes to us directly and spends $10, $10 goes directly into our pocket. So we are a multi omnichannel, I'll call it, type of a company. We sell in retail, wholesale, direct-to-consumer. But we've definitely upped our game in the digital space, and we've seen our customers very satisfied by that, and us as well.

Shmuel Jonas: Again, I think the general switch from a lot of our customers becoming digital-first customers rather than retail-first customers has definitely allowed our margins to improve. Again, from a very macro point, if a customer goes into a store and they spend $10, $2.50 of that revenue goes directly to the store, if not more.

Speaker #4: And when a customer comes to us directly and spends $10, $10 goes directly into our pocket. So we are a multi-omnichannel, I'll call it, type of company.

Speaker #4: We sell in retail, wholesale, and direct-to-consumer, but we've definitely upped our game in the digital space, and we've seen our customers very satisfied by that.

Speaker #4: And us as well. Could you just add that, right, that we are still going to expect to see double-digit declines in the revenue of both Evolution Pinless business, but actually more mention, right, that the impact this has to the bottom line is much smaller because of our migration from retail to digital, as well as introducing subscription plans and other higher-margin elements.

Emirlan Kelimbetov: Understood.

Amirlan Kalymbekov: Understood.

Marcelo Fischer: If we just add to that, we are going to still expect to see double-digit decline in the revenue of the BOSS Revolution international long distance business. But as Shmuel mentioned, the impact that has to the bottom line is much smaller because of our migration from retail to digital, as well as introducing subscription plans and other higher margin elements. On our IDT Digital Payments business that have been driving growth the past few years, we now expect that to continue and to offset the declines on the ILD side of the business. Just to mention also now that it's been part of the model of the Rule of 40 for us at IDT now for many years, that we are constantly looking to reduce the cost structure in that segment.

Marcelo Fischer: If we just add to that, we are going to still expect to see double-digit decline in the revenue of the BOSS Revolution international long distance business. But as Shmuel mentioned, the impact that has to the bottom line is much smaller because of our migration from retail to digital, as well as introducing subscription plans and other higher margin elements. On our IDT Digital Payments business that have been driving growth the past few years, we now expect that to continue and to offset the declines on the ILD side of the business. Just to mention also now that it's been part of the model of the Rule of 40 for us at IDT now for many years, that we are constantly looking to reduce the cost structure in that segment.

Speaker #4: And on our digital payment business, that has been driving growth the past few years, and we expect that to continue and to offset the declines on the IoT side of the business.

Speaker #4: And just to mention, now that it's been part of the modus operandi for us at IDT for many years, we are constantly looking to reduce the cost structure in that segment.

Speaker #4: Now, what we're trying to achieve is a reduction in cost and net G&A, so that we could, net-net, see positive growth in EBITDA there.

Marcelo Fischer: Always trying to achieve reduction in cost and SG&A so that we could now net see positive growth in EBITDA.

Marcelo Fischer: Always trying to achieve reduction in cost and SG&A so that we could now net see positive growth in EBITDA.

Speaker #4: Yeah. But again, I would say, more than anything, we drive customer growth by driving happy customers. And when one customer tells another customer, if you're needing to provide balance to your family—whether that be in cash, top-up, their utility bills, their supermarkets, anything related to supporting your family back home—go to IDT.

Shmuel Jonas: Yeah. But again, I would say more than anything, we drive customer growth by driving happy customers. When one customer tells another customer, if you're needing to provide balance to your family, whether that be in cash top up their utility bills, their supermarkets, anything related to supporting your family back home, go to IDT. You can trust them. That's really what drives the business. That's what we focus on every day.

Shmuel Jonas: Yeah. But again, I would say more than anything, we drive customer growth by driving happy customers. When one customer tells another customer, if you're needing to provide balance to your family, whether that be in cash top up their utility bills, their supermarkets, anything related to supporting your family back home, go to IDT. You can trust them. That's really what drives the business. That's what we focus on every day.

Speaker #4: You can trust them. That's really what drives the business, and that's what we focus on every day.

Speaker #3: Great, thanks for the color, gentlemen. That's all from me.

Emirlan Kelimbetov: Great. Thanks for the color, gentlemen. That's all from me.

Amirlan Kalymbekov: Great. Thanks for the color, gentlemen. That's all from me.

Speaker #1: The next question comes from William Vaughn, private investor. William, please proceed.

Operator: The next question comes from William Vaughn, private investor. William, please proceed.

Operator: The next question comes from William Vaughn, private investor. William, please proceed.

Speaker #5: Hi Simon. Hi Marcelo. Congrats on a fantastic quarter. Just wanted to say you're welcome. Just want to ask a question on—you mentioned trying to reaccelerate new store growth and NRS, which is awesome to hear.

William Vaughn: Hi, Shmuel. Hi, Marcelo. Congrats on a fantastic quarter.

William Vaughn: Hi, Shmuel. Hi, Marcelo. Congrats on a fantastic quarter.

Shmuel Jonas: Thank you.

Shmuel Jonas: Thank you.

William Vaughn: You are welcome. Just want to ask a question on, you mentioned trying to re-accelerate new store growth at NRS, which is awesome to hear. Also like maximizing profitability sort of in the types of stores that are brought on. Do you see any types of verticals being more or less attractive in that initiative in terms of thinking about independent retailers versus tobacco versus quick service or liquor stores? Are there any types of verticals that are more attractive in that?

William Vaughn: You are welcome. Just want to ask a question on, you mentioned trying to re-accelerate new store growth at NRS, which is awesome to hear. Also like maximizing profitability sort of in the types of stores that are brought on. Do you see any types of verticals being more or less attractive in that initiative in terms of thinking about independent retailers versus tobacco versus quick service or liquor stores? Are there any types of verticals that are more attractive in that?

Speaker #5: Do you see — and also maximizing profitability — sort of in the types of stores that are brought on? Do you see any types of verticals being more or less attractive in that initiative, in terms of thinking about independent retailers versus tobacco, versus quick service, or liquor stores?

Speaker #5: Are there any types of verticals that are more attractive in that?

Speaker #4: There are. I mean, definitely ones that are more attractive and ones that are less attractive. I mean, in general, I would say that we're looking for stores that are doing higher volume versus stores that are doing lower volume.

Shmuel Jonas: There are, definitely ones that are more attractive and ones that are less attractive. In general, I would say that we're looking for stores that are doing higher volume, versus stores that are doing lower volume. That's really the main factor of what we're focusing on. That being said, there definitely are verticals in specific where our solutions are better situated to those types of stores, and we get more revenue from them because they're able to take more types of our services. Again, it's a bad example, but if somebody is a tobacco shop, right? We'll just use them as an example. They're most likely not going to be able to take a lot of our services at this point because they're not allowed to do delivery in most places.

Shmuel Jonas: There are, definitely ones that are more attractive and ones that are less attractive. In general, I would say that we're looking for stores that are doing higher volume, versus stores that are doing lower volume. That's really the main factor of what we're focusing on. That being said, there definitely are verticals in specific where our solutions are better situated to those types of stores, and we get more revenue from them because they're able to take more types of our services. Again, it's a bad example, but if somebody is a tobacco shop, right? We'll just use them as an example. They're most likely not going to be able to take a lot of our services at this point because they're not allowed to do delivery in most places.

Speaker #4: That's really the main factor we're focusing on. That being said, there definitely are verticals and specifics where our solutions are better situated for those types of stores, and we get more revenue from them because they're able to take more types of our services.

Speaker #4: So again, I mean, I would just—it's a bad example, but if somebody is a tobacco shop, right, we'll just use them as an example.

Speaker #4: They're most likely not going to be able to take a lot of our services at this point, because they're not allowed to do delivery in most places.

Speaker #4: As opposed to a store that has a big food element to it and does a lot of deliveries, they would be much more profitable, as well as they would be doing much more deliveries for the store.

Shmuel Jonas: As opposed to a store that has a big food element to it and does a lot of deliveries, they would be much more profitable, as well as they would be doing much more deliveries for the store. So it's those kinds of factors that influence the overall profitability of a store.

Shmuel Jonas: As opposed to a store that has a big food element to it and does a lot of deliveries, they would be much more profitable, as well as they would be doing much more deliveries for the store. So it's those kinds of factors that influence the overall profitability of a store.

Speaker #4: I mean, so those kinds of factors influence the overall profitability of a store.

Speaker #5: Okay, and a follow-up on that. Do you still see that new stores being brought on are mostly converting folks who didn't really have a good POS system prior, or have you gotten to the point where the offering is sort of taking business away from other providers because of the specialization in terms of services that you add and becoming more competitive that way?

William Vaughn: Okay. And a follow-up on that. Do you still see that new stores that are brought on are mostly converting folks who didn't really have a good POS system prior? Or have you gotten to the point where the offering is sort of taking business away from other providers because of the specialization in terms of services that you add and becoming more competitive that way?

William Vaughn: Okay. And a follow-up on that. Do you still see that new stores that are brought on are mostly converting folks who didn't really have a good POS system prior?

Speaker #4: I mean, I don't know the answer exactly to the question off the top of my head, but I would just give you my thoughts on it.

Shmuel Jonas: I don't know the answer exactly to the question off the top of my head, but I would just give you my thoughts on it. And again, these aren't statistical numbers. But I would say at this point in time, most stores have a point-of-sale system. They're not moving from a Casio to a POS at this juncture. I'm not saying that none are moving off of a Casio, we'll call it. But in general, they're moving to us because of all of the different services that we provide and the fact that it's just much more robust and much lower cost than anybody else is offering those services for.

But I would say at this point in time, most stores have a point-of-sale system. They're not moving from a Casio to a POS at this juncture.

Speaker #4: And again, we've had customers that have left us for something new and shiny, and a couple of months later, they realize their bills are not what they thought they were going to be.

Shmuel Jonas: We have had customers that have left us for something new and shiny. A couple months later, they realize their bills are not what they thought they were going to be, their service is not what they thought they were going to get, and they end up coming back. A huge percentage of stores also that I would say sell their store to a new operator also come back to us, which I think is also proof of what a good value and a good job we do because if you are coming into a new business and you want to improve it, and you choose to go with the main core of your business, again from NRS IDT, that means that you think that part of your business is not what needs changing.

Speaker #4: Their service is not what they thought they were going to get, and they end up coming back. A huge percentage of stores, I would say, that sell their store to a new operator also come back to us.

Speaker #4: Which I think is also proof of what a good value and good job we do, because if you're coming into a new business and you want to improve it, and you choose to go with the main core of your business—again, from NRS, IDT—that means that you think that part of your business is not what needs changing.

Speaker #4: And we're very focused on making sure that we provide great service and affordable pricing to our retail partners, so that they can continue to do well in what is really a very tough environment.

Shmuel Jonas: We are very focused on making sure that we provide great service and affordable pricing to our retail partners so that they can continue to do well in really a very tough environment.

Shmuel Jonas: We are very focused on making sure that we provide great service and affordable pricing to our retail partners so that they can continue to do well in really a very tough environment.

Speaker #5: Awesome. Awesome. Last question on NRS: It's great to see the recovery and increase in advertising spend and advertising revenue. What would you say has really driven that?

William Vaughn: Awesome. Last question on NRS. It is great to see the recovery and increase in advertising spend, in advertising revenue. What would you say has really driven that? You mentioned the acquisition. Is it just getting more bidding for ad impressions? What specifically has drove the recovery? If you just give some color on that.

William Vaughn: Awesome. Last question on NRS. It is great to see the recovery and increase in advertising spend, in advertising revenue. What would you say has really driven that? You mentioned the acquisition. Is it just getting more bidding for ad impressions? What specifically has drove the recovery? If you just give some color on that.

Speaker #5: So you mentioned the acquisition. Is it just getting more bidding for ad impressions? What specifically has driven the recovery? If you could just give some color on that.

Speaker #4: Yeah, I mean, it's not a one-facet answer. And I would also say, listen, I mean, unfortunately—and fortunately, depending on which quarter we're talking about—advertising has been somewhat, I don't want to say seasonal, but has been somewhat imbalanced, and right now it's doing very well.

Shmuel Jonas: Yeah. It is not a one facet answer. I would also say, listen, unfortunately and fortunately, depending on which quarter we are talking about, advertising has been somewhat, I do not want to say seasonal, but has been somewhat imbalanced. Right now it is doing very well. As we are speaking this quarter, it is doing better than ever. I think this is, again, my own opinion not fact. It is that more and more retailers are seeing good results from the ads that are happening. They are driving results in their stores and our partners who are usually the brands that sell products in these stores are seeing the results.

Shmuel Jonas: Yeah. It is not a one facet answer. I would also say, listen, unfortunately and fortunately, depending on which quarter we are talking about, advertising has been somewhat, I do not want to say seasonal, but has been somewhat imbalanced. Right now it is doing very well. As we are speaking this quarter, it is doing better than ever. I think this is, again, my own opinion not fact. It is that more and more retailers are seeing good results from the ads that are happening. They are driving results in their stores and our partners who are usually the brands that sell products in these stores are seeing the results.

Speaker #4: As we're speaking, this quarter is doing better than ever. And I think—again, this is my own opinion, not fact—that more and more retailers are seeing good results from the ads that are happening.

Speaker #4: They're driving results in their stores. And our partners, who are usually the brands that sell products in these stores, are seeing the results. And our partners who sell other services, whether or not it's legal services or immigration services or any of a number of types of companies that advertise in our network, see the results from the dollars that they're spending in NRS, in a community that's harder to reach than maybe somebody who, I don't know, we'll say you, who works on Wall Street.

Shmuel Jonas: Our partners who sell other services, whether it is legal services or immigration services or any of a number of types of companies that advertise in our network see the results from the dollars that they are spending in NRS in a community that is harder to reach than maybe somebody who, I don't know, we will say you, who works in Wall Street. I think that is generally speaking what is happening. That being said, the acquisition brought on other pieces of business that they do that have nothing to do with what happens in our stores directly. That has been a new area of growth. So it is that whole combination together.

Speaker #4: And that's been a new area of growth. So it's that whole combination together.

Speaker #5: Awesome, thank you. And just one on Boss Money—nice growth there. How would you say the market is evolving in the remittance space with the tax, and then with people shifting more to digital?

William Vaughn: Awesome. Thank you. Just one on BOSS Money. Nice growth there. How would you say the market is evolving in the remittance space with the tax and then with people shifting more to digital? Just any comments you could give there. Do you feel like you guys are taking share in the overall market? Do you guys feel like you are taking share within the digital part of the market specifically as well?

William Vaughn: Awesome. Thank you. Just one on BOSS Money. Nice growth there. How would you say the market is evolving in the remittance space with the tax and then with people shifting more to digital? Just any comments you could give there. Do you feel like you guys are taking share in the overall market? Do you guys feel like you are taking share within the digital part of the market specifically as well?

Speaker #5: Do you have any comments you could share there? And do you feel like you guys are taking share in the overall market? Also, do you feel like you're taking share within the digital part of the market specifically as well?

Speaker #4: So, I mean, listen, I can't speak to how our competitors are doing that aren't public competitors. I mean, you can see a lot of the public competitors to us who have retail businesses and how it's affected them.

Shmuel Jonas: So, listen, I can't speak to how our competitors are doing that aren't public competitors. You can see a lot of the public competitors to us who have retail businesses and how it has affected them. That is very public information, and it is easy to see that it is hurting their business, this remittance tax and the move to digital in general. In terms of how we are doing digitally versus our competitors, I would say we are doing well. I wish we were doing always a little better than we are currently doing. We are trying our best always. Right now the business is doing very well. I don't expect anything to change. But yeah, we are definitely being helped by the market moving to digital. It is not just us. I would say it like that.

Shmuel Jonas: So, listen, I can't speak to how our competitors are doing that aren't public competitors.

Speaker #4: I mean, that's very public information, and it's easy to see that it's hurting their business—this remittance tax and the move to digital in general.

Speaker #4: In terms of how we're doing digitally, versus our competitors, I would say we're doing well. I wish we were doing always a little better than we were than we're than we're currently doing.

Speaker #4: And we're trying our best always. I mean, right now, the business is doing very, very well, and I don't expect anything to change. But yeah, I mean, we are definitely being helped by the market moving to digital.

Speaker #4: It's not just us; I would say it like that.

Speaker #2: Yeah, I mean, we do see that our market share has remained stable to growing in our largest destinations. I'll give you an example. In the case of Mexico—Mexico, as you know, is the largest corridor for remittances out of the US.

Marcelo Fischer: Yeah. We do see that our market share has remained stable to growing to our largest destinations. I will give you an example. In the case of Mexico, as you know, is the largest corridor for remittances out of the US. So you go back a year ago, we probably had a little less than 2% of the market share. Now we probably have about a little bit less than 3%. So we have grown a little bit there. I think hopefully there will be a lot more opportunities for us to grow market share into Mexico. We think about Mexico all the time as an area of opportunity for continued growth. Being able to have the best app out there, which is our BOSS Money app, has been rated and a great service.

Marcelo Fischer: Yeah. We do see that our market share has remained stable to growing to our largest destinations. I will give you an example.

Being able to have the best app out there—which is our Boss Money app—has been rated.

Speaker #2: And great service. Now we hope there has to be a way, over time, to educate more and more users to try our service and stick with us.

Marcelo Fischer: Now we hope that will be a way to, over time, educate more and more users to try our service and stick with us.
