Our third-quarter non-GAAP gross margin of 35.8 percent, consistent with expected gross margin expansion, was at the high end of our previous guidance, and improved by 290 basis points over the prior quarter. Tight control of our operating expenses in the third quarter allowed us to exceed our recently upwardly revised EPS projection."
