For the third quarter, GAAP net income was $7.8 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $7.8 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income was $10.7 million, or a diluted earnings per share of $0.36, flat as compared to non-GAAP net income of $10.8 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, in the same quarter a year ago (1).
Gross profit margin in the third quarter was 16.7%, compared to 17.6% in the same period last year. The reduction in overall gross margin resulted from a higher proportion of Networked Storage Solutions revenue in the 2009 quarter.
Revenues from our Networked Storage Solutions products were $208.6 million as compared to $213.1 million in the same quarter a year ago, a decrease of 2.1%. Gross profit margin in the Networked Storage Solutions business was 14.0% as compared to 13.3% a year ago. Revenues from our Storage Infrastructure products were $37.7 million as compared to $67.7 million in the same quarter a year ago, a decrease of 44.3%. Gross profit margin in the Storage Infrastructure business was 32.4% as compared to 31.6% a year ago.
"Our third quarter results reflect the apparent improvement in the overall economy and the operational progress we have made over the last nine months. This has resulted in profit being above our expectations in the quarter and demonstrates our commitment to returning to sustained profitability," said Steve Barber, Xyratex CEO. "I was pleased with our execution along with recent new design wins at a number of our major customers. I remain confident that the storage industry will continue to grow, providing incremental opportunities for our technology."

(1) Non-GAAP net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share excludes (a) amortization of intangible assets, (b) equity compensation expense, (c) specified non-recurring items, such as restructuring costs, the impairment of goodwill and valuation allowance against a deferred tax asset, (d) the related tax effects and (e) the effect of changes in exchange rates on the income tax expense. Reconciliation of non-GAAP net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share to GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share is included in a table immediately following the condensed consolidated statements of cash flow below.
The intention in providing these non-GAAP measures is to provide supplemental information regarding the Company's operational performance while recognizing that they have material limitations and that they should only be referred to with reference to the corresponding GAAP measure.
The Company believes that the provision of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors and investment analysts because it enables comparison to the Company's historical operating results, those of competitors and other industry participants and also provides transparency to the measures used by management in operational and financial decision making. In relation to the specific items excluded: (a) intangible assets represent costs incurred by the acquired business prior to acquisition, are not cash costs and will not be replaced when the assets are fully amortized and therefore the exclusion of these costs provides management and investors with better visibility of the costs required to generate revenue over time; (b) equity compensation expense is non-cash in nature and is outside the control of management during the period in which the expense is incurred; (c) restructuring costs are not comparable across periods or with other companies and the impairment of goodwill and the valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset are non-recurring, non-cash and are not comparable across periods or with other companies; (d) the exclusion of the related tax effects of excluding items (a) to (c) is necessary to show the effect on net income of the change in tax expense that would have been recorded if these items had not been incurred; (e) the effect of changes in exchange rates on deferred tax balances is non-cash and is not comparable across periods or with other companies.
