"Despite challenging near-term market conditions, we are executing on the fundamental elements of our growth strategy of engaging with Tier One accounts, delivering market leading smart IoT and M2M solutions, and expanding our sales and marketing efforts worldwide. Ultimately, we believe that these actions will create long-term profitable growth."

Financial Results for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2015
Net revenue was $10.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2015, a decrease of $1.1 million, compared with $11.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and a decrease of $291,000 compared with $10.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The year-over-year and sequential decreases in net revenue were primarily due to a decline in legacy product sales and weakness in capital spending that impacted the timing of customer projects. The year-over-year decline in legacy products was partially offset by 33% growth in new product revenue. New products are defined as products that have been released since the start of the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was 45.1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with 50.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and 48.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2015. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was lower primarily due to charges for excess inventories, totaling approximately $290,000, that were recorded in the third fiscal quarter.
Operating expenses were $5.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with $6.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and $5.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015.
GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $839,000 or $0.06 per share, compared with GAAP net loss of $130,000 or $0.01 per share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and a GAAP net loss of $632,000 or $0.04 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2015.
Non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $357,000 or $0.02 per share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $331,000 or $0.02 per share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and non-GAAP net loss of $99,000 or $0.01 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2015. For additional information regarding our non-GAAP results, see "Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
Cash and cash equivalents were $5.6 million as of March 31, 2015 compared with cash and cash equivalents of $6.3 million as of June 30, 2014.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Lantronix believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information, when presented in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Management believes that non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share are important measures of the Company's business. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance.
Non-GAAP net income (loss) consists of net income (loss) excluding (i) non-GAAP adjustments to operating expenses, (ii) interest income (expense), (iii) other income (expense), and (iv) income tax provision (benefit).
Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) by non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted). For purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, the calculation of GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted) is adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, which for GAAP purposes is treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.
