Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results
For the third fiscal quarter, the Company reported revenue of $50.0 million, a 3.0% decrease compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Excluding the negative impact of foreign currency fluctuations, third quarter revenue was down less than 1%. Revenue in the Americas decreased 8.2% compared to the prior year period and was partially offset by gains in Asia/Pacific & Europe where revenue increased 9.3%. Hosting in-person meetings continues to pose a challenge in certain markets but the Company remains committed to providing digital tools and support to distributors.
Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $40.3 million, or 80.7% of revenue, compared to $42.8 million, or 82.9% of revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2021. The decline in gross profit margin was due to increased inventory obsolescence costs, higher shipping expenses, and mix shifts related to product and geography.
Commissions and incentives expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $23.2 million, or 46.4% of revenue, compared to $25.2 million, or 48.8% of revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2021. The decrease in commissions and incentives expense as a percentage of revenue reflects the timing and magnitude of incentive and promotional programs.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $15.3 million, or 30.6% of revenue, compared to $15.5 million, or 30.1% of revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2021. Adjusted for nonrecurring expenses, which are detailed in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables included at the end of this press release, adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 were $14.7 million, or 29.3% of revenue, compared to adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 of $14.4 million, or 27.9% of revenue.
Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $1.8 million compared to operating income of $2.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Accounting for non-GAAP adjustments noted previously, adjusted non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $2.5 million compared to $3.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $1.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, which compares to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Accounting for non-GAAP adjustments noted previously, net of tax, adjusted non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $1.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $2.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA was $3.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $4.8 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2021.
Balance Sheet & Liquidity
The Company generated $5.2 million of cash from operations during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to $7.9 million in the same period in fiscal 2021. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2022 were $17.8 million, compared to $23.2 million at June 30, 2021 and there was no debt outstanding. During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company repurchased approximately 0.3 million common shares for $1.7 million under its share repurchase program. During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 1.2 million common shares for $8.4 million under its share repurchase program.
Dividend Announcement
Today the Company announced the declaration of a cash dividend of $0.03 per common share. The dividend will be paid on May 31, 2022 to all stockholders of record at the close of business on May 17, 2022.
Fiscal Year 2022 Guidance
The Company is reducing its guidance for fiscal 2022 to reflect results in the third quarter. Revenue for fiscal 2022 is now expected to be in the range of $204 million to $207 million compared to previous guidance of $212 million to $220 million. Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2022 is now expected to be in the range of approximately $15 million compared to previous guidance of $18 million to $20 million. Adjusted earnings per share are now expected to be in the range of $0.52 to $0.56 compared to previous guidance of $0.67 to $0.71, which assumes a full year tax rate of approximately 23%. This guidance reflects the current trends in the business. The Company's guidance for adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA and adjusted non-GAAP earnings per diluted share excludes any non-operating or non-recurring expenses that may materialize during fiscal 2022. The Company is not providing guidance for GAAP earnings per diluted share for fiscal 2022 due to the potential occurrence of one or more non-operating, one-time expenses, which the Company does not believe it can reliably predict.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, other income, net, and certain other adjustments. Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We define Non-GAAP Net Income as GAAP net income less certain tax adjusted non-recurring one-time expenses incurred during the period and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share as Non-GAAP Net Income divided by weighted-average shares outstanding.
We are presenting Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share because management believes that they provide additional ways to view our operations when considered with both our GAAP results and the reconciliation to net income, which we believe provides a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share are presented solely as supplemental disclosure because: (i) we believe these measures are a useful tool for investors to assess the operating performance of the business without the effect of these items; (ii) we believe that investors will find this data useful in assessing shareholder value; and (iii) we use Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share internally as benchmarks to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors. The use of Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share has limitations and you should not consider these measures in isolation from or as an alternative to the relevant GAAP measure of net income prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.
The tables set forth below present reconciliations of Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures to Net Income and Earnings per Share, our most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
