Third quarter 2023 revenues were $17.4 million, a decrease of 33.1% from the year ago period. Third quarter 2023 antennas and industrial IoT device revenue was $13.2 million, a decrease of 29.4% year-over-year, due to lower revenues for agriculture and public safety applications. Third quarter 2023 Test & Measurement revenue was $4.2 million, a decrease of 44.9% year-over-year primarily due to lower revenues with OEM customers for products with 5G technologies.

Third quarter 2023 GAAP gross profit margin was 43.8%, compared to 45.9% in the third quarter of 2022. The lower gross profit margin was due to lower revenues for both product lines and as a result of a negative mix shift between the product lines.

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter decreased to $0.3 million compared to $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Third quarter 2023 GAAP net loss was $0.1 million or diluted loss per share of $0.01 compared to GAAP net income of $2.0 million or $0.11 earnings per share in the third quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP net income was $0.0 million, or $0.00 diluted earnings per share, compared to $2.6 million or $0.14 per share in the third quarter of 2022.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $33.3 million as of September 30, 2023, a decrease of approximately $0.3 million as compared to June 30, 2023.

This schedule reconciles the Company's GAAP operating (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes that this schedule provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the Company's core operating results and facilitates comparison of operating results across reporting periods. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's GAAP results.
 
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and extraordinary expenses. The adjustments on this schedule consist of depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock compensation expenses, restructuring expenses, and acquisition related expenses.
