Our adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was negatively impacted by inflationary pressures , including soaring freight costs , and without these challenges , adjusted EBITDA would have exceeded $ 30 million . The good news is that we witnessed a decrease in exorbitant freight costs more recently . Our adjusted EBITDA margin , meanwhile , attained 14.6 % in the third quarter , but without the incremental costs , it would have hit approximately 17 % . " On the business side , we are on track to start producing the Handicare Freecurve stairlift in Ontario by the end of the year , providing us with a competitive advantage in production and shipping lead times for our North American dealer network . There is also encouraging data for Savaria in terms of new home construction with heightened sales expectations for new homes in the upcoming six months due to U.S. homebuilding confidence rising in October .
