We accelerated our progress on digital transformation. We recently completed the acquisition of Sofdesk Inc. in the first quarter of 2021. Sofdesk is a leading provider of design software for residential solar installers and roofing companies. We also recently signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Solar Design Services business of DIN Engineering Services LLP. The business provides proposal drawings and permit plan sets to installers with rapid turnaround and high precision. These acquisitions are expected to enhance the capabilities of our digital platform, enabling our installers to simplify the sales process and improve the buying experience for homeowners.
Our non-GAAP gross margin was 40.2% in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to 41.0% in the third quarter due to higher shipping and logistics costs. We experienced constraints in the global semiconductor supply chain during the quarter and expedited products to meet customer demand. Non-GAAP operating expenses increased to $34.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $29.6 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to increased hiring and R&D. Non-GAAP operating income was $72.4 million, compared to $43.7 million in the prior quarter.
We exited the fourth quarter of 2020 with $679.4 million in cash and generated $84.2 million in cash flow from operations. Inventory was $41.8 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $37.5 million at the end of the third quarter of 2020. The sequential increase in inventory was driven by the planned increase of raw materials for our Enphase Storage systems in anticipation of the production ramp in 2021.
Strong demand for our microinverter systems across all regions continued in the fourth quarter of 2020, while shipments of our newly ramped Enphase Storage systems increased approximately 35% compared to the third quarter. We achieved record microinverter system sell-through from distributors to installers in the fourth quarter of 2020, resulting in lower than usual channel inventory as we exited the quarter.
For the full year 2020, revenue was $774.4 million, compared to $624.3 million in 2019. We generated a record $198.9 million free cash flow in 2020, compared to $124.3 million in 2019. GAAP net income was $134.0 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $0.95. Non-GAAP net income was $188.5 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $1.37. We are pleased to report that 2020 was a record year for non-GAAP profitability and free cash flow generation.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. Reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the accompanying tables to this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company include non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, income from operations, net income and net income per share.
These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same captions and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
3
As presented in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” tables in the accompanying press release, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes one or more of the following items for purposes of calculating non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of the Company’s current operating performance and a comparison to its past operating performance:
Stock-based compensation expense. The Company excludes stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash in nature. Moreover, the impact of this expense is significantly affected by the Company’s stock price at the time of an award over which management has limited to no control.
Tariff refunds. This item represents approved tariff refunds, and interest income earned on those refunds, by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection that qualify for the tariff exclusion on Chinese imported microinverter products that fit the dimensions and weight limits within a Section 301 Tariff exclusion under U.S. note 20(ss)(40) to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. Approved refunds relate to tariffs previously paid from September 24, 2018 to March 31, 2020 and are excluded from the non-GAAP measures as the refunds are non-recurring in nature for tariff costs incurred in the past and are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing financial performance.
Restructuring and asset impairment charges. The Company excludes restructuring charges due to the nature of the expenses being unplanned and arising outside the ordinary course of continuing operations. These costs primarily consist of fees paid for restructuring-related management consulting services, cash-based severance costs and modification of stock-based compensation related to workforce reduction actions, asset write-downs of property and equipment and lease loss reserves, and other contract termination costs resulting from restructuring initiatives.
Acquisition related expenses and amortization. This item represents expenses incurred related to the Company’s business acquisition, which are non-recurring in nature, and amortization of acquired intangible assets, which is a non-cash expense. Acquisition related expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets are not reflective of the Company's ongoing financial performance.
Non-recurring debt prepayment fees and non-cash interest. This item consists primarily of amortization of debt issuance costs, accretion of debt discount and non-recurring debt settlement costs, because these expenses do not represent a cash outflow for the Company except in the period the financing was secured or when the financing was settled, and such amortization expense or settlement of debt costs is not reflective of the Company’s ongoing financial performance.
Loss on settlement of convertible notes. This item is reflected in other income (expense), net and represents the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the settled convertible notes, which is non-cash in nature and is not reflective of the Company’s ongoing financial performance
Change in fair value of derivatives. This item is reflected in other income (expense), net and represents changes in fair value of the conversion option in the convertible notes due 2025, as well as the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, which is non-cash in nature and is not reflective of the Company’s ongoing financial performance.
Non-GAAP income tax adjustment. This item represents the amount adjusted to the Company’s GAAP tax provision or benefit to present the non-GAAP tax amount based on cash tax expense and reserves.
Free Cash Flow. This item represents net cash flows from operating activities plus deemed repayment of convertible notes attributable to debt discount reported in operating activities less purchases of property and equipment.

(1) We sought refunds totaling approximately $38.9 million plus $0.6 million accrued interest on tariffs previously paid from September 24, 2018 to March 31, 2020 for certain microinverters that qualify for the tariff exclusion on Chinese imported microinverter products that fit the dimensions and weight limits within a Section 301 Tariff exclusion under U.S. note 20(ss)(40) to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. The refund request was subject to review and approval by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection; therefore, we assessed the probable loss recovery in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 was equal to the $16.5 million and $39.5 million, respectively, approved refund requests available to us prior to the date our financial statements are expected to be issued. As of the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, we have recorded $15.9 million and $38.9 million, respectively as a reduction to cost of revenues, and $0.6 million as interest income, in our consolidated statements of operations as the approved refunds relate to paid tariffs previously recorded to cost of revenues, therefore, we recorded the corresponding approved tariff refunds as credits to cost of revenues in the current period.

(2) Change in fair value of derivatives of $44.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, represents changes in fair value of the conversion option in the Notes due 2025, as well as the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions. Initially, conversion of the Notes due 2025 would be settled solely in cash as a result of the Company not having the necessary number of authorized but unissued shares of its common stock available to settle the conversion option of the Notes due 2025 in shares; therefore, the conversion option, convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were classified as derivatives that required marked-to-market accounting. On May 20, 2020, at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholders approved an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, the Company will now be able to settle the Notes due 2025, convertible notes hedge and warrants through payment or delivery, as the case may be, of cash, shares of its common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. Accordingly, on May 20, 2020, the conversion option, convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were remeasured at fair value and were then reclassified to additional paid-in-capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet in the second quarter of 2020 and are no longer remeasured as long as they continue to meet the conditions for equity classification.
