Thank you, Britney. Good afternoon, everyone. Thanks for joining us. With me on the call today are Balu Balakrishnan, Chairman and CEO of Power Integrations; and Sandeep Nayyar, our Chief Financial Officer.
During this call, we will refer to financial measures not calculated according to GAAP. Non-GAAP measures exclude stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquisition related intangible assets and the tax effects of these items. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to our GAAP results is included in today's press release.
Our discussion today, including the Q&A session, will include forward-looking statements denoted by words like will, would, believe, should, expect, outlook, forecast, estimate, anticipate and similar expressions that look toward future events or performance. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to different materially from those projected or implied. Such risks are discussed in today's press release and in our most recent Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 12, 2024.
Now I'll turn it over to Balu.
Balu Balakrishnan
Thank you, Joe, and good afternoon. Our third quarter results were on target with revenues up 9% sequentially to $116 million, non-GAAP gross margin of 55.1% percent and non-GAAP earnings of $0.40 per share. Our revenue outlook for the fourth quarter is $105 million plus or minus $5 million. The decrease from Q3 reflects a soft demand environment called out this quarter by many of our analog peers and by some of our key customers in the appliance market. Appliances account for the bulk of our consumer category, which comprises nearly 40% of our sales. Further tempering the outlook in consumer is a buildup of appliance inventory at Chinese OEMs ahead of the China government's long waited consumer stimulus program, which thus far appears to be having a limited impact.
