This decrease was because of year-over-year product mix changes, due to divestitures and increased supply chain disruptions.
Non-GAAP operating expenses flared up 18% to $64.1 million. The increase was driven by spending related to future growth, which includes expenses from acquisitions, research and development and corporate infrastructure.
Non-GAAP operating loss was $9.9 million compared with the year-ago operating income of $12.4 million.
