Year - to - date Adjusted EBITDA grew strongly to $ 8.4 million compared to $ 5.9 million last year , an increase of 44 % . Third quarter net income was up only slightly despite the significant increase in Adjusted EBITDA due to increased depreciation , the non - cash loss on the debt extinguishment , and an increase in finance expense . Year - to - date net income also fell to $ 0.3 million from $ 3.3 million in the same period last year for primarily the same reasons . Financing and permitting have been secured for the construction of the company's second production line in Delta , BC . Swiss Water formally initiated on site construction in July 2021 and the foundation is complete . The project is currently on time and on budget . Inflationary pressure increased within the company's variable cost structure during the third quarter and will likely drive an increase in processing prices to enable maintenance of margins . 1 | Page of the Press Release
