Operator
Good day and welcome to the third quarter 2022 Zebra Technologies earnings conference call. All participants will be in listen-only mode. [Operator instructions] Please note, this event is being recorded. I now like to turn the call over to Mike Steele, vice president of investor relations.
Please go ahead.
Mike Steele -- Vice President, Investor Relations
Good morning and welcome to Zebra's third quarter conference call. This presentation is being simulcast on our website at investors.zebra.com and will be archived there for at least one year. Our forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially due to factors discussed in our SEC filings.
During this call, we will reference non-GAAP financial measures as we describe our business performance. You can find reconciliations at the end of the slide presentation and in today's earnings press release. Throughout this presentation, unless otherwise indicated, our references to sales growth are year over year on a constant currency basis and exclude results from recently acquired businesses for the 12 months following each acquisition. This presentation will include prepared remarks from Anders Gustafsson, our chief executive officer; and Nathan Winters, our chief financial officer.
Anders will begin with our third quarter results. Then Nathan will provide additional detail on the financials and discuss our fourth quarter outlook. Anders will conclude with progress made on advancing our Enterprise Asset Intelligence vision. Following the prepared remarks, Joe Heel, our chief revenue officer, will join us as we take your questions.
Now let's turn to Slide 4, as I hand it over to Anders.
Anders Gustafsson -- Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, Mike. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. For the quarter, we realized a sales decline of 3%, an adjusted EBITDA margin of 21.1%, a 60-basis-point decrease, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $4.12, a 9% decrease from the prior year. We were unable to fulfill all orders due to supply chain challenges related to persistent component shortages for certain products, as well as disruption in the transition to our new North American distribution center in the Chicago area.
These challenges led to lower throughput than planned late in the quarter. This, along with orders from some large customers being deferred, contributed to the lower than expected results. In North America and EMEA, cycling two prior year large mobile computing app deployments and suspension of sales in Russia resulted in the sales declines. Our Asia Pacific and Latin America regions were bright spots in the quarter with double-digit sales growth.
