Net sales decreased by $103.0 million or 11.5% to $792.9 million for the three months ended March 29, 2024, compared to $895.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net sales is primarily attributed to decreased average selling prices across the Company's products of $85.5 million as a result of expected pricing normalization, the economic value of solar tax credits to be transferred to certain customers of $10.8 million, and decreased sales volume of $7.5 million.
Gross profit decreased by $61.3 million, or 17.4%, to $291.6 million for the three months ended March 29, 2024, as compared to $352.9 million for the prior-year period. Gross margin decreased to 36.8% for the three months ended March 29, 2024, as compared to 39.4% for the prior-year period. Gross profit decreased primarily due to declines in average selling prices of $85.5 million partially offset by declines in input costs of $34.0 million.
Net income decreased by $36.2 million, or 20.8%, to $138.0 million for the three months ended March 29, 2024 compared to $174.2 million for the prior-year period primarily due to lower gross profit partially offset by lower income tax expense.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $64.1 million, or 23.2%, to $211.9 million for the three months ended March 29, 2024 compared to $276.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit.
Net income per diluted share prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") was $3.67 for the three months ended March 29, 2024, as compared to $4.31 in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income per diluted share decreased by $0.79 to $4.08 for the three months ended March 29, 2024, as compared to $4.87 in the prior year period. The decrease in diluted earnings per share is primarily attributed to lower net income.

Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 33.1% for the three months ended March 29, 2024 compared to 37.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $7.7 million, or 23.1%, to $25.5 million for the three months ended March 29, 2024 compared to $33.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes certain financial information, not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Because not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial information identically (or at all), the presentations herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Further, these measures should not be considered substitutes for the performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. See non-GAAP reconciliations below in this press release for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in evaluating the performance of our business and in the preparation of our annual operating budgets as indicators of business performance and profitability. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before income taxes, adjusted to exclude unallocated expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, certain legal matters, and other items, such as inventory reserves and adjustments, loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, insurance recovery related to damages of property, plant and equipment, release of indemnified uncertain tax positions, realized or unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency impacts of intercompany loans and related forward currency derivatives, gain on purchase of business, loss on assets held for sale, restructuring costs and transaction costs. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net sales.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful for investors because management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in evaluating the performance of our business.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share
We use Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share in evaluating the performance of our business and profitability. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing the Company's results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure provide an indication of performance and profitability excluding the impact of unusual and or non-cash items. We define Adjusted net income as net income before stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on assets held for sale, intangible asset amortization, certain legal matters and other items, and the income tax expense or benefit on the foregoing adjustments that are subject to income tax. We define Adjusted net income per share as basic and diluted net income per share excluding the per share impact of stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization, certain legal matters and other items, and the income tax expense or benefit on the foregoing adjustments that are subject to income tax.
Free Cash Flow
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures. We believe that Free Cash Flow provides meaningful information regarding the Company's liquidity.
