the mid to high single digits for the full year. Industrial sales showed improvement in Q3, driven by the wireless infrastructure sector, but this was offset by weakness in other industrial markets. Overall, while we faced challenges in certain segments, we are encouraged by the growth opportunities we see ahead.
Moving on to slide seven, I want to highlight our strong gross margin performance for the quarter. Our gross margin of 35.2% exceeded our expectations, driven by favorable product mix and operational efficiencies. This performance demonstrates our commitment to operational excellence and cost management. We will continue to focus on improving our margins through operational efficiencies and pricing strategies.
On slide eight, we can see the impact of our improved gross margin on our adjusted earnings per share. Our adjusted EPS for the quarter was $0.98, significantly higher than our guidance range of $0.75 to $0.85. This strong performance reflects our ability to manage costs effectively and drive profitability in a challenging environment. We remain focused on delivering value to our shareholders through disciplined financial management and strategic investments.
Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, we anticipate sales to be in the range of $185 million to $200 million, with a lower gross margin compared to Q3. We expect adjusted EPS to range from a loss of $0.15 to earnings of $0.15, including restructuring expenses. While we remain cautious about near-term market conditions, we are confident in our long-term growth prospects.
In conclusion, I want to reiterate our commitment to driving growth through innovation and strategic investments. Despite the challenges we face, we are well-positioned to capitalize on opportunities in key markets and deliver value to our shareholders. Thank you for your continued support, and I will now turn the call over to Laura for a more detailed financial review. Laura Russell: Thank you, Colin. I will now provide a more detailed overview of our financial performance for the quarter. Turning to slide nine, we can see a breakdown of our revenue by segment. As Colin mentioned, overall revenues for the quarter were $210 million, a 2% decline from the prior quarter. The decline was primarily driven by lower sales in the EV/HEV segment, which was impacted by softer demand from our curamik power module customers. We also saw declines in the ADAS segment, reflecting ongoing challenges in the automotive market. However, we did see growth in portable electronics, industrial, and aerospace and defense, which partially offset these declines.
On slide ten, we can see a breakdown of our gross margin performance. As Colin mentioned, our gross margin for the quarter was 35.2%, exceeding our expectations. This improvement was driven by a favorable product mix and operational efficiencies. We will continue to focus on improving our margins through cost management and pricing strategies.
