Quarterly Results
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 totaled $846.0 million, up 15.9% year-over-year, or 15.4% year-over-year for organic growth, with strong demand in both segments. Third quarter fiscal year 2022 net sales in the Specialty Technology Solutions segment increased 15.3% year-over-year to $503.1 million, driven by broad-based demand across technologies and execution by our people. Third quarter fiscal year 2022 net sales in Modern Communications & Cloud increased 16.9% year-over-year, or 16.0% year-over-year for organic growth, to $342.9 million, with Intelisys connectivity and cloud business net sales increasing 18.2% year-over-year.
Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 totaled $106.5 million, up 20.9% year-over-year. The increase is primarily due to higher sales volume and higher vendor program recognition compared to the prior-year quarter. Gross profit margin increased to 12.6% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, up from 12.1% in the prior-year quarter.
For the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, operating income increased to $32.9 million from $19.4 million in the prior-year quarter. Third quarter fiscal year 2022 non-GAAP operating income increased to $37.4 million for a 4.42% non-GAAP operating income margin, up from $25.1 million and a 3.45% non-GAAP operating margin for the prior-year quarter.
On a GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 totaled $23.5 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, compared to net income of $13.8 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the prior-year quarter. Third quarter fiscal year 2022 non-GAAP net income totaled $26.9 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, up from $18.2 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, for the prior-year quarter. For the trailing 12-month (TTM) period ending March 31, 2022, GAAP diluted earnings per share totaled $3.46, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share totaled $4.01.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 increased to $44.1 million, or 5.21% of net sales, compared to $32.0 million, or 4.38% of net sales in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher gross profits and operating leverage. Adjusted return on invested capital increased to 18.0% for third quarter fiscal year 2022, compared to 14.7% in the prior-year quarter.

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains “forward-looking” statements, including the Company's FY22 outlook, which involve risks and uncertainties. Any number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results, including, but not limited to, failure to hire and retain quality employees, risk to the Company's business from a cyber-security attack, the failure to manage and implement the Company's organic growth strategy, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations and financial condition and the potential prolonged economic weakness brought on by COVID-19, a failure of the Company's IT systems, a failure to acquire new businesses, changes in interest and exchange rates and regulatory regimes impacting the Company's international operations, credit risks involving the Company's larger customers and suppliers, loss of the Company's major customers, termination of the Company's relationship with key suppliers or a significant modification of the terms under which it operates with a key supplier, changes in the Company's operating strategy, and other factors set forth in the "Risk Factors" contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as may be required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are summarized below. Non-GAAP financial measures are used to understand and evaluate performance, including comparisons from period to period. Non-GAAP results exclude amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, change in fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition costs, restructuring costs and other non-GAAP adjustments.
Net sales on a constant currency basis, excluding acquisitions (organic growth): The Company discloses the percentage change in net sales excluding the translation impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates between reporting periods and excluding the net sales from acquisitions prior to the first full year from the acquisition date. This measure enhances the comparability between periods to help analyze underlying trends on an organic basis.
Additional Non-GAAP Metrics: To evaluate current period performance on a more consistent basis with prior periods, the Company discloses non-GAAP SG&A expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (non-GAAP diluted "EPS"). Non-GAAP results exclude amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition and divestiture costs, impairment charges, restructuring costs, and other non-GAAP adjustments. These year-over-year metrics include the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Non-GAAP metrics are useful in assessing and understanding the Company's operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods.
Adjusted earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”): Adjusted EBITDA starts with net income and adds back interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets, changes in fair value of contingent considerations, and other non-GAAP adjustments, including acquisition and divestiture costs, impairment charges, and restructuring costs. Effective with the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, non-cash share-based compensation expense is also added back in calculating Adjusted EBITDA. Since Adjusted EBITDA excludes some non-cash costs of investing in our business and people, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA shows the profitability from our business operations more clearly. The presentation for Adjusted EBITDA for all periods presented has been recast to reflect this change to enhance comparability between periods.
Adjusted return on invested capital ("Adjusted ROIC"): Adjusted ROIC assists management in comparing the Company's performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operating performance. We believe the calculation of Adjusted ROIC provides useful information to investors and is an additional relevant comparison of our performance. Adjusted ROIC is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA over invested capital. Invested capital is defined as average equity plus average daily funded interest-bearing debt for the period. Management believes the calculation of Adjusted ROIC provides useful information to investors and is an additional relevant comparison of the Company's performance during the year.
These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company reports may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be considered in addition to, and not in substitution for or as superior to, measurements of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP financial information to GAAP is set forth in the Supplementary Information (Unaudited) below.
