Total revenue increased 17%, compared to the third quarter of 2021. We were able to meet the surge in customer demand while successfully navigating supply constraints and logistics challenges. Strong demand for our IQ™ Microinverters continued in the fourth quarter of 2021, while shipments of our IQ Batteries increased approximately 53%, compared to the third quarter of 2021. Our non-GAAP gross margin was 40.2% in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 40.8% in the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to product mix.
Non-GAAP operating expenses increased to $68.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $57.3 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to additional investment in product launches, R&D, and IT infrastructure. Non-GAAP operating income was $97.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $85.9 million in the third quarter of 2021.
We exited the fourth quarter of 2021 with $1.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and generated $97.2 million in cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter of 2021. Capital expenditures were $13.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $12.7 million in the third quarter of 2021.
We started production shipments of IQ8 Microinverters for customers in North America in the fourth quarter of 2021. IQ8 solar microinverters can form a microgrid during a power outage using only sunlight, providing backup power even without a battery. IQ8’s grid-forming technology eliminates traditional ratio requirements between solar system size and battery size. With IQ8, any home can adopt Enphase technology for backup, even with no battery or a small battery.
We completed the acquisition of ClipperCreek in the fourth quarter of 2021. Founded in 2006, ClipperCreek offers electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions for residential and commercial customers in the U.S. The increasing penetration of EVs has implications for home energy management. Homes will consume significantly more power with an EV and the large EV battery could be used for backup and grid services in the future. This acquisition will soon leverage our power conversion and software platform to manage loads and resources within the home.
We continued to make excellent progress on our installer digital platform. We acquired 365 Pronto, Inc. during the fourth quarter of 2021. The company offers a predictive software platform dedicated to simplifying maintenance by matching cleantech asset owners to a local and on-demand workforce of service providers. Our two prior acquisitions, which provide proposal software and permitting services for installers, continue to do well with new features slated for release this year.
For the full year 2021, revenue was $1,382.0 million, compared to $774.4 million in 2020. We generated a record $352.0 million in cash flow from operations in 2021, compared to $216.3 million in 2020. GAAP net income was $145.4 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $1.02. Non-GAAP net income was $340.3 million, resulting in Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.41.

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, net income per share and free cash flow.
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.
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.
3
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.
Acquisition related expenses and amortization. This item represents expenses incurred related to the Company’s business acquisitions, 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-cash interest expense. This item consists primarily of amortization of debt issuance costs and accretion of debt discount because these expenses do not represent a cash outflow for the Company except in the period the financing was secured and such amortization expense is not reflective of the Company’s ongoing financial performance.
Loss on partial settlement of convertible notes. This item is reflected in other income (expense), net and represents (i) the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the settled convertible notes and (ii) the inducement loss for the difference between the value of the shares issued to settle the convertible notes and the value of the shares that would have been issued under the original conversion terms with respect to the repurchased Notes due 2025, 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 accreted 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 were expected to be issued. As of the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, we had 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.
(2) Loss on partial settlement of convertible notes of $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, primarily relates to the non-cash loss on settlement of $1.1 million remaining aggregate principal amount of the Notes due 2024. Loss on partial settlement of convertible notes of $56.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily relates to the $9.6 million non-cash loss on settlement of $88.2 million remaining aggregate principal amount of the Notes due 2024, $9.5 million non-cash loss on partial settlement of $217.8 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes due 2025 and $37.5 million non-cash inducement loss incurred on repurchase of Notes due 2025. Loss on partial settlement of convertible notes of $3.0 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 primarily relates to the non-cash loss on partial settlement of $43.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes due 2024.
6
(3) 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.

The Company excluded the in-the-money portion of convertible notes due 2025 totaling 763 thousand shares, 658 thousand shares and 1,401 thousand shares in the three months ended December 31, 2021, September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and 929 thousand shares for the year ended December 31, 2021, from non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares as the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions that reduce potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the notes due 2025.
