Cash and long term receivables amounted to $25.8 million, representing 68% of equity as of September 30, 2015. Working capital amounted to $31.3 million, representing 82% of equity as of September 30, 2015.
"I am pleased to report solid financial results for Q3 2015. Overall, revenue increased 8%, gross profit increased 11% and income from operations increased 20% over the same period last year," said Simon F. Nynens, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Net sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015 increased 8% or $7.1 million to $97.7 million compared to $90.5 million for the same period in 2014. Total sales for the third quarter of 2015 for our Lifeboat Distribution segment were $86.1 million compared to $77.4 million in the third quarter of 2014, representing an increase of $8.7 million or 11%. Total sales for the third quarter of 2015 for our TechXtend segment were $11.6 million compared to $13.1 million in the third quarter of 2014, representing a decrease of $1.5 million or 12%.
The 11% increase in net sales for the Lifeboat Distribution segment was mainly a result of the addition of several key product lines and our ongoing strategy of strengthening of our account penetration. The 12% decrease in net sales in the TechXtend segment was primarily due to a decrease in extended payment terms sales transactions and other large sales transactions as compared to the same period in 2014.
Gross profit for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $6.9 million, an 11% increase as compared to $6.2 million for the third quarter of 2014. Gross profit for our Lifeboat Distribution segment in the third quarter of 2015 was $5.5 million compared to $4.7 million for the third quarter of 2014, representing a 16% increase. Gross profit for our TechXtend segment in the third quarter of 2015 was $1.4 million representing a 3% decrease from the prior year.
Gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015 was 7.0% compared to 6.8% for the third quarter of 2014. Gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 7.0% compared to 7.2% in the same period in 2014. Gross profit margin for our Lifeboat Distribution segment for the third quarter of 2015 was 6.4% compared to 6.1% for the third quarter of 2014. The increase in gross profit margin for the Lifeboat Distribution segment was primarily caused by product mix and increased marketing funds. Gross profit for our TechXtend segment for the third quarter of 2015 was 12.0% compared to 10.9% for the third quarter of 2014. The increase in gross profit margin for the TechXtend segment was primarily caused by the decrease in larger extended payment term sales transactions and other large sale transactions which typically carry lower margins.
Total selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the third quarter of 2015 were $4.6 million compared to $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2014, representing an increase of $0.3 million or 8%. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in sales related employee and employee related expenses. A large part of this increase is due to us hiring and creating a field sales team and a professional services team. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2015 and 2014 were 4.7%.
For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.8 million or 34.1% of income, compared to $0.6 or 31.6% of income for the same period in 2014.
Net income and diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2015 were $1.6 million and $0.33, respectively, compared to $1.4 million and $0.29, respectively, for the third quarter of 2014.
On October 27, 2015, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.17 per share of its common stock payable November 17, 2015 to shareholders of record on November 10, 2015.
