Changes in foreign exchange rates reduced Sensata's earnings per share by ($0.05) in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year period.
On a sequential basis, Sensata's adjusted net income margin of 16.0% for the third quarter increased by 100 basis points compared to an adjusted net income margin of 15.0% in the second quarter of 2016.
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $2.41 billion, an increase of $165.4 million, or 7.4% from $2.25 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Excluding an 8.7% positive effect from acquisitions, net of exited businesses, and a 1.6% negative effect from changes in foreign exchange rates, Sensata reported flat organic revenue growth in the first nine months of 2016.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $195.9 million, which was 8.1% of revenue, or $1.14 per diluted share.

Adjusted net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $363.9 million which was 15.1% of revenue, or $2.12 per diluted share.

Sensata’s ending cash balance at September 30, 2016 was $299.9 million. During the first nine months of 2016, operating cash flow grew 9 percent year over year totaling $396.4 million and free cash flow grew 29% year over year, totaling $301.8 million. The Company’s total gross indebtedness at September 30, 2016 was $3.4 billion, a reduction of $296.4 million from December 31, 2015 as a result of debt repayment.
"We delivered strong sequential margin expansion and eleven percent year over year organic earnings growth in the third quarter despite sustained weakness in some of our markets," said Martha Sullivan, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our free cash flow has been strong, which has enabled us to pay down our debt and move closer toward achieving our targeted FY-16 net leverage ratio. As we enter the fourth quarter, we are well-positioned to deliver on our full year 2016 earnings guidance and continue our trend of margin expansion and strong free cash flow."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
A definition of non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the financial tables accompanying this press release. The non-GAAP financial measures referenced by Sensata in this press release include organic revenue growth; adjusted net income; adjusted net income margin; adjusted net income per diluted share; organic earnings growth; and free cash flow.
Organic revenue growth is defined as the percentage change in net revenue calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of acquisitions, net of exited businesses that occurred in the previous twelve months, and the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding certain non-GAAP adjustments which are described in the accompanying reconciliation tables. Adjusted net income margin is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by net revenue. Adjusted net income per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the number of diluted weighted average ordinary shares outstanding in the period.
We define organic earnings growth as the percentage change in adjusted net income per share, excluding the impact of acquisitions, net of exited businesses that occurred within the previous 12 months, and the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less additions to property, plant, and equipment and capitalized software.
There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures as they are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplemental in nature and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and supplementary information to investors regarding our quarterly and annual performance. We regularly use non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage, and evaluate our business results and make operating decisions. We also measure our employees and compensate them, in part, based on such non-GAAP measures. For the same reasons, we also use this information for our forecasting activities.

The Company’s definition of adjusted net income excludes the deferred provision for/(benefit from) income taxes and other tax expense/(benefit). The Company’s deferred provision for/(benefit from) income taxes includes adjustments for book-to-tax basis differences primarily related to the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets and goodwill, utilization of net operating losses and adjustments to our U.S. valuation allowance in connection with certain acquisitions. Other tax expense/(benefit) includes certain adjustments to unrecognized tax positions.
As the Company treats deferred income tax and other tax expense/(benefit) as an adjustment to compute adjusted net income, the deferred income tax effect associated with the reconciling items, above, would not change adjusted net income for any period presented.
The current income tax (benefit)/expense associated with the reconciling items above, which is included in adjusted net income, would be as follows: Depreciation and amortization expense related to the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets and inventory: ($0.0) million and ($0.1) million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and ($0.1) million and ($0.4) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively; and Restructuring and special charges ($0.1) million and ($0.9) million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and ($0.4) million and ($2.0) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
