Income Statement Items
Revenues
Revenues for the fourth quarter fiscal 2024 were $507.5 million, representing an increase from the prior quarter of 2.9% and an increase from the comparable prior year period of 3.3%. On a full year basis, revenues for fiscal 2024 were $1.9 billion, representing a 0.6% decrease compared to full year fiscal 2023.
The growth in revenues over the prior quarter and the comparable prior year period were both driven by increases in revenue from our Enterprise Technology platform. Revenues from the Service Provider Technology platform decreased when compared to the prior quarter as well as the comparable prior year period.
The decrease in revenue for full fiscal 2024 compared to full fiscal 2023 was driven by a decrease in revenue from both our Enterprise Technology platform and our Service Provider Technology platform.
Gross Margins
During the fourth quarter fiscal 2024, GAAP gross profit was $204.1 million. GAAP gross margin of 40.2% increased by 4.9% as compared to the prior quarter GAAP gross margin of 35.3% and decreased by 1.2% as compared to the comparable prior year period GAAP gross margin of 41.4%. On a full year basis, fiscal 2024 GAAP gross profit was $739.8 million. Fiscal 2024 GAAP gross margin of 38.4% decreased by 0.8% as compared to fiscal 2023 GAAP gross margin of 39.2%.
The increase in gross profit margin as compared to the prior quarter was primarily driven by lower excess and obsolete inventory charges, favorable product mix and lower tariffs, offset in part by higher shipping costs. The decrease in gross profit margin as compared to the comparable prior year period was primarily driven by higher shipping costs and higher excess and obsolete inventory charges, partially offset by favorable product mix and lower tariffs. The decline in gross profit margin for full fiscal 2024 as compared to full fiscal 2023 was primarily driven by incremental excess and obsolete inventory charges and warehouse-related operating expenses, partially offset by lower shipping costs and lower tariffs.
Research and Development
During the fourth quarter fiscal 2024, research and development ("R&D") expenses were $44.1 million. This reflects an increase as compared to the R&D expenses of $42.5 million in the prior quarter and R&D expenses of $40.5 million in the comparable prior year period. On a full year basis, fiscal 2024 R&D expenses were $159.8 million, representing an increase of $14.6 million as compared to R&D expenses of $145.2 million for fiscal 2023.
The increase in R&D expenses as compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to increased prototype-related expenses, partially offset by lower employee-related expenses. The increase in R&D expenses as compared to the comparable prior year period was primarily driven by higher prototype-related expenses and employee-related expenses. The increase in R&D expenses for fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023 was primarily driven by higher prototype-related expenses and employee-related expenses.
Sales, General and Administrative
The Company’s sales, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the fourth quarter fiscal 2024 were $21.7 million. This reflects an increase as compared to the SG&A expenses of $20.4 million in the prior quarter and an increase compared to the SG&A expenses of $18.9 million in the comparable prior year period. On a full year basis, fiscal 2024 SG&A expenses were $81.0 million, reflecting an increase of $10.0 million as compared to SG&A expenses of $71.0 million for fiscal 2023.
The increase in SG&A costs as compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to higher fees associated with webstore credit card processing, marketing expenses and professional fees, offset in part by lower travel expenses. The increase in SG&A costs as compared to the comparable prior year period was primarily due to higher fees associated with webstore credit card processing, marketing expenses and professional fees. The increase in SG&A expenses for fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023 was primarily driven by higher fees associated with webstore credit card processing, marketing expenses, employee-related expenses and professional fees.
Interest Expense and Other, net
During the fourth quarter fiscal 2024, Interest expense and other, net ("I&O") expenses were $16.8 million. This reflects a decrease as compared to the I&O expenses in both the prior quarter and the comparable prior year period of $18.9 million and $19.8 million, respectively. On a full year basis, fiscal 2024 I&O expenses were $75.2 million, reflecting an increase of $16.9 million as compared to the I&O expenses of $58.2 million for fiscal 2023.
The decrease in I&O expenses as compared to the prior quarter and comparable prior year period was primarily due to lower interest expense due to decrease in borrowings, offset in part by increase in foreign exchange losses. The increase in I&O expense for fiscal 2024 as compared to fiscal 2023 was primarily driven by higher interest expense due to increased levels of average debt outstanding and higher interest rates.
Net Income and Earnings Per Share
During the fourth quarter fiscal 2024, GAAP net income was $103.8 million and non-GAAP net income was $105.1 million. This reflects an increase in GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income from the comparable prior year period by 0.1% and 0.3%, respectively, primarily driven by higher revenues and higher gross profit. Fourth quarter fiscal 2024 GAAP earnings per diluted share was $1.72, consistent with the results achieved in the comparable prior year period, and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share was $1.74, reflecting an increase of 0.6% when compared to the comparable prior year period.

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 share-based compensation expense, 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:

• Share-based compensation expense
• 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.
