Income Statement Items
Revenues
Revenues for the third quarter fiscal 2023 were $457.8 million, representing a decrease from the prior quarter of 7.3% and an increase from the comparable prior year period of 27.8%. The decrease in revenues over the prior quarter and the increase from the prior year were both primarily driven by changes in revenue from our Enterprise Technology platform. Revenues from the Service Provider Technology platform increased compared to the prior quarter and the comparable prior year period.
Gross Margins
During the third quarter fiscal 2023, gross profit was $188.5 million. GAAP gross margin of 41.2% increased by 1.2% as compared to the prior quarter GAAP gross margin of 40.0% and increased by 8.8% as compared to the comparable prior year period GAAP gross margin of 32.4%. The increase in gross profit margin as compared to the prior quarter was primarily driven by lower shipping costs.The increase in gross profit margin as compared to the comparable prior year period was primarily driven by lower shipping costs.
Research and Development
During the third quarter fiscal 2023, research and development ("R&D") expenses were $38.2 million. This reflects an increase as compared to the R&D expenses of $33.8 million in the prior quarter and R&D expenses of $35.3 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in R&D expenses as compared to the prior quarter and the comparable prior year period were both primarily driven by higher employee related expenses.
Sales, General and Administrative
The Company’s sales, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the third quarter fiscal 2023 were $16.7 million. This reflects a decrease as compared to the SG&A expenses of $18.6 million in the prior quarter and $18.2 million in the comparable prior year period. The decrease in SG&A costs as compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to lower credit card processing fees, marketing expenses and professional fees.The decrease in SG&A costs as compared to the comparable prior year period was primarily due to lower marketing expenses, professional fees and charitable contributions, offset, in part, by higher employee related expenses and credit card processing fees.
Interest Expense and Other, net
During the third quarter fiscal 2023, Interest expense and other, net expenses ("I&O") were $16.5 million. This reflects an increase as compared to the I&O expenses of $11.3 million in the prior quarter and I&O expenses of $3.3 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in I&O expenses as compared to the prior quarter and comparable prior year period was primarily due to higher interest expense due to incremental borrowings and increased interest rates, offset, in part, by foreign exchange gains.
Net Income and Earnings Per Share
During the third quarter fiscal 2023, GAAP net income was $98.6 million and non-GAAP net income was $99.5 million. This reflects an increase in GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income from the comparable prior year period by 95.8% and 95.1%, respectively, primarily driven by higher revenues and higher gross profit. Third quarter fiscal 2023 GAAP earnings per diluted share was $1.63 and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share was $1.65. This reflects an increase in both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share from the comparable prior year period of 98.8%.
Supply Constraints and Risks
We have experienced significant supply constraints caused, in part, by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our efforts to mitigate these supply constraints have included, for example, increasing our inventory build in an attempt to secure supply and meet customer demand, paying higher component and shipping costs to secure supply and modifying our product designs to leverage alternate suppliers. Although these mitigation efforts are intended to optimize our access to the components required to meet customer demand for our products, they have increased, and are expected to continue to increase, our balances of finished goods and raw material inventories. The increasing balance of finished goods and raw material inventory significantly increases the risks of future material excess, obsolete inventory and related losses. We believe that we are taking the right actions to mitigate these continuing supply constraints, however, we recognize the associated risks.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial results prepared under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of net income and earnings per diluted share that are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses and gains such as stock-based compensation expense, partial recovery of investment previously impaired and the tax effects of these non-GAAP adjustments.
Reconciliations of the adjustments to GAAP results for the periods presented are provided above. In addition, an explanation of the ways in which management uses non-GAAP financial information to evaluate its business, the substance behind management’s decision to use this non-GAAP financial information, material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial information, the manner in which management compensates for those limitations, and the substantive reasons management believes that this non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to investors is included under the paragraphs below.
Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Information to Investors
We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share provides important supplemental information regarding non-cash expenses, significant items that we believe are important to understanding our financial, and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are among the primary indicators used by management as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods and by management and our board of directors to determine whether our operating performance has met specified targets and thresholds. Management uses non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share when evaluating operating performance because it believes that the exclusion of the items described below, for which the amounts or timing may vary significantly depending upon the Company’s activities and other factors, facilitates comparability of the Company’s operating performance from period to period. We have chosen to provide this information to investors so they can analyze our operating results in the same way that management does and use this information in their assessment of our business and the valuation of our Company.
About our Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings per Diluted Share
We compute non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share by adjusting GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share to remove the impact of certain adjustments and the tax effect of those adjustments. Items excluded from net income are:
• Stock-based compensation expense
• Partial recovery of investment previously impaired
• Tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments, applying the principles of ASC 740
These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and may be materially different from other non-GAAP measures, including similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or earnings per diluted share prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results.
For more information on the non-GAAP adjustments, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to non-GAAP Net Income" included in this press release.
