IDT Reports Results for Third Quarter of Fiscal 2002.

Business Editors

NEWARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2002

IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT.B, IDT):

- Adding radio talent, such as renowned broadcaster Mort Crim, and over 800 new
affiliate stations to Talk America. This more than doubled our number of
affiliates. Talk America revenues started from a small base. In Q3 they
increased 35% from the Q2 level, and we anticipate strong growth for the next
several years as we generate advertising from these and future additions.

- Penetrating one of the nation's top 10 broadcast markets with our first
station acquisition (subject to FCC approval), WMET in Washington, D.C. We have
moved aggressively to capitalize on the premiere position of this station,
securing the exclusive rights to broadcast the Bill O'Reilly program in the
Washington DC market.

- As announced earlier today, our Digital Productions Solutions Unit's landing
a 26-episode animation production contract for Monster by Mistake, a cartoon
popular in Canada and Europe. The contract includes an equity stake in the
venture, allowing us to benefit from video and retail distribution. Several
other contracts are in advanced stages of negotiation.

IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT.B, IDT) today reported record revenues of $401.7 million for the third quarter of its Fiscal Year 2002, the three months ended April 30, 2002.

Revenues for the third quarter were up 7.4% from the second quarter, and increased 19.6% over the revenues recorded during the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2001. IDT Telcom recorded EBITDA of $25.6 million, its most successful quarter ever.

The net loss for the quarter was $49.6 million, or $0.64 per share. This compares with a net loss of $17.2 million, or $0.23 per share, in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2002, and a net loss of $48.3 million, or $0.73 per share, in last year's third quarter.

Our pro-forma results exclude the following three items, accounting for a loss of $55.3 million after tax:

- Adding radio talent, such as renowned broadcaster Mort Crim, and over 800 new
affiliate stations to Talk America. This more than doubled our number of
affiliates. Talk America revenues started from a small base. In Q3 they
increased 35% from the Q2 level, and we anticipate strong growth for the next
several years as we generate advertising from these and future additions.

- Penetrating one of the nation's top 10 broadcast markets with our first
station acquisition (subject to FCC approval), WMET in Washington, D.C. We have
moved aggressively to capitalize on the premiere position of this station,
securing the exclusive rights to broadcast the Bill O'Reilly program in the
Washington DC market.

- As announced earlier today, our Digital Productions Solutions Unit's landing
a 26-episode animation production contract for Monster by Mistake, a cartoon
popular in Canada and Europe. The contract includes an equity stake in the
venture, allowing us to benefit from video and retail distribution. Several
other contracts are in advanced stages of negotiation.

Excluding these items we would have reported net income of $5.7 million, or $0.07 per share.

"This is the seventh consecutive quarter in which we have reported a balance sheet featuring over $1 billion in cash and marketable securities," said Jim Courter, Vice Chairman and CEO of IDT Corporation. "Since reporting that first billion dollar balance sheet we have increased revenues by 45%. We are pleased to be reporting record Telecom EBITDA as well this quarter. Our strategy is providing stability and value in a market whose turbulence plays to our advantage."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

IDT recorded a loss from operations for the third quarter of Fiscal 2002 of $42.8 million, compared to an operating loss of $27.8 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2002, and a loss of $55.6 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2001. Excluding the operations of the company's Winstar division, acquired during Q2, we had an operating income of $1.0 million, compared with a loss of $8.6 million in Q2 on that basis.

EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization, and excluding minority interests and impairment charges) in the third quarter of Fiscal 2002 amounted to a loss of $26.1 million, versus a loss of $12.9 million in the second quarter of 2002 and a loss of $36.8 million in Q3 2001. Excluding the company's Winstar division, acquired during Q2 2002, EBITDA was $14.8 million. EBITDA excluding the Winstar division was $5.9 million in Q2 2002.

Telecommunications 

IDT's core telecommunications business reported record revenues of $364.4 million for the third quarter of Fiscal 2002, representing an increase of 4.4% from the revenues recorded in the second quarter of Fiscal 2002, and up 10.0% from the same period last year. Gross margins for the Company's core telecommunications business amounted to 24.2%, up from 21.8% in Q2 2002 (or 23.1% excluding an unusual charge related to the early termination of a bandwidth contract) and 10.4% in the prior year period. This is the highest overall gross margin reported by the Telecom division since the first quarter of Fiscal 1999. The continued improvement in Telecom gross margins reflects higher gross margins across all business lines, due to economies of scale and improved operating efficiency.

EBITDA in the quarter for the telecommunications business was $25.6 million, versus $17.0 million in the second quarter of 2002 ($21.5 million excluding the unusual charge) and a loss of $16.0 million in Q3 2001. The EBITDA margin improved from 4.9% in Q2 (or 6.2% excluding the unusual charge) to 7.0% in Q3. This was a record high in EBITDA dollars for Telecom, and the highest EBITDA margin percentage reported since Q3 of Fiscal 1999.

"During the third quarter of Fiscal 2002, we built upon our previous successes to deliver a third consecutive quarter of profits," stated Motti Lichtenstein, CEO of IDT Telecom. "However, this is just the beginning. As we head toward Fiscal 2003, we will sharpen our competitive edge, as we seek to establish IDT Telecom as a leader in the Telecom industry's post-apocalyptic era."

RETAIL

IDT's retail division posted $285.4 million in revenues for the third quarter, up 3.9% from the previous quarter, and 20.1% more than the retail revenues recorded during the same quarter last year.

Calling Cards

Calling card revenues amounted to $255.3 million for the third quarter, up 3.0% from the previous quarter, and 20.4% more than the calling card revenues of the third quarter of Fiscal 2001. The growth in calling card revenues was fueled by the introduction of several new calling cards in the U.S., as well as the continued expansion of both the scale and the scope of European calling card operations. IDT Europe's calling card operations witnessed growth in its core United Kingdom market, as well as in relatively new areas of penetration, such as Spain, Germany and the Netherlands.

Gross margins for calling cards were 24.1%, up from 21.6% in the second quarter of Fiscal 2002, and 11.6% in Fiscal 2001's third quarter. Margins, which have now improved in four consecutive quarters, continued to benefit from increased scale, network efficiency improvements and reduced termination costs to our highest-volume calling destinations. The gross margin performance for calling cards during the third quarter was the highest since the first quarter of Fiscal 1999.

Looking ahead, we anticipate additional growth in both the U.S. and Europe, with European growth to be driven by increased penetration of our newer prepaid calling card markets, including Germany and Spain. We also anticipate the full launch of calling card operations in France and Belgium during the fourth quarter. Growth in the U.S. will be fueled by the introduction of new cards, featuring attractive rates to popular calling destinations, in an attempt to capture market share from weakened competitors. Over the next few quarters, we also expect to significantly ramp-up our early-stage South America prepaid calling card operations.

We expect that margins will remain at or near their current levels, with some margin slippage possible as a result of aggressive pricing on both new cards as well as on some existing cards. We expect that this factor will be partially offset by continued efficiency gains and an improved cost structure.

Consumer Long Distance

Consumer long distance revenues for the quarter were up 12.7% from the previous quarter, and more than doubled from the levels recorded during the same quarter in Fiscal 2001, due to the continued aggressive growth of our $0.05 per minute long distance plan. We currently have approximately 475,000 active long distance customers. Gross margins for the consumer long distance business were 55.8%, up from 54.7% in the second quarter of Fiscal 2002, as we continue to benefit from increased scale.

We anticipate that the consumer long distance business will continue on its growth track into Fiscal 2003. We anticipate an increase in our marketing expenditures, with an eye towards maintaining our cost-per-added-customer at or near current levels. In addition, by spending a relatively fixed percentage of revenues on advertising, we will effectively "re-invest" a portion of our profits into the business, allowing for an increase in advertising dollars. This will allow IDT to continue to take market share from its competitors. Consumer long distance revenues are expected to grow at a double-digit rate in each of the next two quarters, and we anticipate that the current margin levels will be maintained.

WHOLESALE

IDT's wholesale carrier business reported revenues of $79.0 million, an increase of 6.2% from the second quarter of Fiscal 2002, and 15.8% lower than those recorded during the third quarter of Fiscal 2001. Wholesale carrier revenues have now increased for two consecutive quarters, after five consecutive quarters of declines.

Gross profit margins climbed to 12.8%, up from the second quarter's 10.6% and the year-ago period's 4.4%. Gross margins, which have now increased in each of the past six quarters, benefited from improved operating efficiencies. The third quarter's gross margin performance was the highest for the wholesale carrier business since Q3 2000.

With the right-sizing of our wholesale customer base now largely complete, we expect to experience further revenue growth in this division during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2002 and through Fiscal 2003. However, revenue growth will be tempered somewhat by our strict credit policies, which have led us to curtail or cease entirely our sales to financially unstable carriers. Therefore, we expect that revenue gains will be driven primarily by increased sales to Tier 1 telecom carriers, both in the U.S. and in Europe. We anticipate that gross margins will remain stable at the current significantly improved levels.

Winstar Division

The Winstar Division recorded an operating loss of $43.9 million on revenues of $33.1 million in the third quarter. This compares to a $19.1 million operating loss on revenues of $19.2 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2002. IDT Corporation acquired its Winstar Division in December 2001, mid way through fiscal Q2. The increase in Winstar's operating loss in Q3 was primarily due to operating the division for the whole quarter.

We remain excited about Winstar's potential. In March, we announced the Winstar turnaround plan which, as of May, was beginning to yield the expected results. In April we purchased the five percent (5.0%) block of units of Winstar Holdings, LLC we did not already own from WCI Capital Corp. in exchange for 792,079 shares of IDT Class B Common Stock. We announced in early May that Winstar had reduced its cash burn rate from about $16 million per month to under $10 million.

By the end of the fourth quarter, due to steps we have identified and only partly implemented to date, we anticipate a cash burn rate of about $5 million a month. The next phase of our strategic plan, which has recently gained the lion's share of Winstar management's time and attention, is revenue growth. We already have several initiatives well under way:

- Adding radio talent, such as renowned broadcaster Mort Crim, and over 800 new
affiliate stations to Talk America. This more than doubled our number of
affiliates. Talk America revenues started from a small base. In Q3 they
increased 35% from the Q2 level, and we anticipate strong growth for the next
several years as we generate advertising from these and future additions.

- Penetrating one of the nation's top 10 broadcast markets with our first
station acquisition (subject to FCC approval), WMET in Washington, D.C. We have
moved aggressively to capitalize on the premiere position of this station,
securing the exclusive rights to broadcast the Bill O'Reilly program in the
Washington DC market.

- As announced earlier today, our Digital Productions Solutions Unit's landing
a 26-episode animation production contract for Monster by Mistake, a cartoon
popular in Canada and Europe. The contract includes an equity stake in the
venture, allowing us to benefit from video and retail distribution. Several
other contracts are in advanced stages of negotiation.

"Now that we've rationalized our business and created an infrastructure to build upon," said Brian Finkelstein, CEO of Winstar, "the focus has to shift from an emphasis on cost reduction to an emphasis on revenue growth. Our plan calls for solid profitability by mid to late 2003."

IDT Media

IDT Media recorded an operating loss of $5 million on revenues of $4.2 million in the third quarter. This compares to a $5.7 million operating loss on revenues of $5.7 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2002.

The most prominent Q3 achievements of IDT Media's businesses were:

- Adding radio talent, such as renowned broadcaster Mort Crim, and over 800 new
affiliate stations to Talk America. This more than doubled our number of
affiliates. Talk America revenues started from a small base. In Q3 they
increased 35% from the Q2 level, and we anticipate strong growth for the next
several years as we generate advertising from these and future additions.

- Penetrating one of the nation's top 10 broadcast markets with our first
station acquisition (subject to FCC approval), WMET in Washington, D.C. We have
moved aggressively to capitalize on the premiere position of this station,
securing the exclusive rights to broadcast the Bill O'Reilly program in the
Washington DC market.

- As announced earlier today, our Digital Productions Solutions Unit's landing
a 26-episode animation production contract for Monster by Mistake, a cartoon
popular in Canada and Europe. The contract includes an equity stake in the
venture, allowing us to benefit from video and retail distribution. Several
other contracts are in advanced stages of negotiation.

"We're all delighted with the pace of IDT Media's development," said IDT Media CEO Mitch Burg. "We're putting the building blocks in place for a broad portfolio of stable, profitable businesses. We expect to have many significant developments to report in the near future."

GUIDANCE ON FUTURE OPERATIONS

Looking to the remainder of Fiscal 2002, we anticipate that Telecom revenues will increase again in the fourth quarter, to approximately $375 million - $385 million, with gains seen in all major lines of business. We anticipate sustaining gross margins at their current, significantly improved levels for our major Telecom lines of business, and we expect that Telecom EBITDA for the fourth quarter will be higher than that of the current quarter, in the $26 million - $28 million range.

For our Winstar division, we expect the monthly cash burn to be reduced to about $5 million by July 2002. Within our Media division, we anticipate increasing revenues, and hope to achieve profitability within three quarters.
