The increase in commissions and incentives expense as a percentage of revenue was due primarily to the timing and magnitude of promotional and incentive programs.

Fiscal 2024 Full Year Results
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported net revenue of $200.2 million, a decrease of 6.2% compared to $213.4 million for fiscal 2023. In fiscal 2024, revenue in the Americas decreased 1.6% and revenue in Asia/Pacific & Europe decreased 18.6%.

Gross profit during fiscal 2024 was $158.7 million, or 79.3% of revenue, compared to $170.0 million, or 79.7% of revenue, for fiscal 2023. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to shift in product mix, increased raw material and manufacturing related costs, shipping to Customer expenses, and warehouse fulfillment expenses during fiscal year 2024.
Commissions and incentives expense for fiscal 2024 was $85.9 million, or 42.9% of revenue, compared to $94.7 million, or 44.4% of revenue, for fiscal 2023.

SG&A expense for fiscal 2024 was $68.5 million, or 34.2% of revenue, compared to $71.1 million, or 33.3% of revenue, for fiscal 2023. Adjusted for nonrecurring expenses and recoveries, which are detailed in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables included at the end of this press release, adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expense for fiscal 2024 was $62.7 million, or 31.3% of revenue, compared to adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expense for fiscal 2023 of $70.3 million, or 32.9% of revenue. These decreases are primarily due to decreases in event costs, endorsement agreements, employee compensation related expenses, office lease and professional services expenses.
Operating income for fiscal 2024 was $4.3 million, or 2.2% of revenue, compared to $4.3 million, or 2.0% of revenue, for fiscal 2023. Accounting for non-GAAP adjustments noted previously, adjusted non-GAAP operating income for fiscal 2024 was $10.1 million, or 5.0% of revenue, compared to $5.1 million, or 2.4% of revenue, for fiscal 2023.
Net income for fiscal 2024 was $2.9 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $2.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share for fiscal 2023. Accounting for the non-GAAP adjustments noted previously, net of tax, adjusted non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2024 was $7.6 million, or $0.59 per diluted share compared to $3.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share in fiscal 2023.

Fiscal Year 2025 Guidance
The Company expects to generate revenue in the range of $200 million to $210 million in fiscal year 2025, adjusted EBITDA of $18 million to $21 million, and adjusted earnings per share in the range of $0.70 to $0.80.

The Company is not providing guidance for GAAP earnings per diluted share for fiscal 2025 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.
