Segment Results
IoT Product & Services
The segment's third fiscal quarter 2023 revenues of $87 million increased 10% from the same period in the prior fiscal year. This increase is attributable to growth in our OEM & Infrastructure Management product lines. ARR as of the end of the third fiscal quarter was $22 million, an increase of 47%. Gross profit margin increased 60 basis points to 54.1% of revenues for the third fiscal quarter of 2023, due to ARR.
IoT Solutions
The segment's third fiscal quarter 2023 revenues of $25 million increased 5% from the same period in the prior fiscal year. This increase was a result of increased sales of both SmartSense and Ventus offerings. ARR as of the end of the third fiscal quarter was over $82 million, an increase of 6%. Gross profit margin increased 450 basis points to 66.7%, due to higher ARR in the third fiscal quarter of 2023.

Fourth Fiscal Quarter 2023 Guidance
The debate around an imminent recession and the potential severity if one arrives is ongoing. Digi’s broad array of end markets has helped the company weather challenging market conditions in the past. We believe the IIoT market is still in its early stage of adoption with a significant set of greenfield opportunities. Most of the world’s machines are not connected today. Over time, we expect more end markets to deploy IIoT.
For the fourth fiscal quarter of 2023, we expect revenue of $108 million to $112 million, or growth of 2% to 6% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $23.0 million and $24.0 million. Adjusted EPS is expected to be $0.46 to $0.49 per diluted share, assuming a weighted average share count of 37.3 million shares.
Based on our fiscal fourth quarter guidance combined with year-to-date results, Digi now expects to grow annual revenues at least 14%, which is higher than the growth rate we communicated last quarter. Previously we communicated we expected ARR and A-EBITDA growth to outpace total revenue growth in fiscal 2023. We continue to expect A-EBITDA to grow faster than total revenue growth. We still expect ARR to grow consistent with our prior expectations, however, it may not outpace total revenue growth.
We provide earnings guidance on a non-GAAP basis as it is difficult to predict with reasonable certainty various items including but not limited to the impact of foreign exchange translation, interest and certain tax related events. Given the uncertainty, any of these or other items could have a significant impact on U.S. GAAP results.

technologies that may displace products sold by us, declining prices of networking products, our reliance on distributors and other third parties to sell our products, the potential for significant purchase orders to be canceled or changed, delays in product development efforts, uncertainty in user acceptance of our products, the ability to integrate our products and services with those of other parties in a commercially accepted manner, potential liabilities that can arise if any of our products have design or manufacturing defects, our ability to integrate and realize the expected benefits of acquisitions, our ability to defend or settle satisfactorily any litigation, the impact of natural disasters and other events beyond our control that could negatively impact our supply chain and customers, potential unintended consequences associated with restructuring, reorganizations or other similar business initiatives that may impact our ability to retain important employees or otherwise impact our operations in unintended and adverse ways, and changes in our level of revenue or profitability which can fluctuate for many reasons beyond our control. These and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions identified from time to time in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022 and subsequent reports on Form 10-Q, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Many of such factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date for which they are made. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA, each of which is a non-GAAP measure.
We understand that there are material limitations on the use of non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures are not substitutes for GAAP measures, such as net income, for the purpose of analyzing financial performance. The disclosure of these measures does not reflect all charges and gains that were actually recognized by Digi. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies or presented by us in prior reports. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. We believe that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, the cash requirements for the replacement of depreciated and amortized assets, or changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs.
We believe that providing historical and adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share, respectively, exclusive of such items as reversals of tax reserves, discrete tax benefits, restructuring charges and reversals, intangible amortization, stock-based compensation, other non-operating income/expense, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition-related expenses and interest expense related to acquisitions permits investors to compare results with prior periods that did not include these items. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance. In addition, certain of our stockholders have expressed an interest in seeing financial performance measures exclusive of the impact of these matters, which while important, are not central to the core operations of our business. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring charges and reversals, and changes in fair value of contingent consideration is useful to investors to evaluate our core operating results and financial performance because it excludes items that are significant non-cash or non-recurring items reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue is useful because it provides a reliable and consistent approach to measuring our performance from year to year and in assessing our performance against that of other companies. We believe this information helps compare operating results and corporate performance exclusive of the impact of our capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.
