Operating Results for the Third Quarter
Total revenue increased by
-
Grills increased
4.3% to as compared to the third quarter last year. The increase was driven by a higher average selling price partially offset by lower unit volume compared to the prior year period.$108.8 million -
Consumables decreased
11.8% to as compared to the third quarter last year. The decrease was driven by a return to normal seasonal retailer ordering patterns. The Company was up against an unusually tough third quarter 2020 comparison during which consumables revenue grew$28.0 million 72% over the prior year, reflected by the pandemic’s impact on seasonal shifts in our business. -
Accessories increased
181.5% to as compared to the third quarter last year. This increase was driven by the acquisition of$25.2 million Apption Labs Limited ("MEATER") and strong growth ofTraeger accessories.
The Company saw strong performance across regions and product categories.

Guidance For Full Year Fiscal 20213
The current outlook reflects sustained consumer demand, gross margin pressures due to global supply chain challenges, and investment in product innovation, marketing, growth infrastructure, and public company costs.
-
Total revenue is expected to be between
and$760 million $770 million -
Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between
and$103 million $108 million
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net loss on a forward-looking basis cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, as the Company is unable to provide reconciling information with respect to provision (benefit) for income taxes, other (income) expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, non-routine legal expenses, non-routine start-up costs, non-routine acquisition expenses, change in fair value of contingent consideration, offering related expenses, non-routine refinancing expenses, and other adjustment items all of which are adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA.

RECONCILIATIONS OF AND OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(unaudited)
In addition to our results and measures of performance determined in accordance with
Each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our financial performance and is also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and other interested parties in analyzing our financial performance because it provides a comparable overview of our operations across historical periods. In addition, we believe that providing each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss), together with a reconciliation of net income (loss) to each such measure, helps investors make comparisons between our company and other companies that may have different capital structures, different tax rates, and/or different forms of employee compensation. For example, due to finite-lived intangible assets included on our balance sheet following our corporate reorganization in 2017, we have significant non-cash amortization expense attributable to the nature of our capital structure.
Each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is used by our management team as an additional measure of our performance for purposes of business decision-making, including managing expenditures, and evaluating potential acquisitions. Period-to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) help our management identify additional trends in our financial results that may not be shown solely by period-to-period comparisons of net income or income from continuing operations. In addition, we may use Adjusted EBITDA in the incentive compensation programs applicable to some of our employees. Each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) has inherent limitations because of the excluded items, and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled metrics used by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude provision (benefit) for income taxes, other (income) expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, non-routine legal expenses, non-routine start-up costs, non-routine acquisition expenses, change in fair value of contingent consideration, offering related expenses, non-routine refinancing expenses, and other adjustment items. Other (income) expense are gains (losses) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, impairments of long-term assets, unrealized gains (losses) from derivatives, and the loss on extinguishment of debt upon refinancing and early repayment. Non-routine legal expenses are primarily external legal expenses for litigation, patent and trademark defense, and legal costs related to an acquisition. Non-routine start-up costs represent investments in a new product category. Acquisition expenses are primarily for consulting and legal costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of MEATER. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration results from changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of MEATER due to changes in discount periods and rates, and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the performance targets. Offering related expenses are primarily for legal and consulting costs incurred in connection with our IPO process. Non-routine refinancing expenses are primarily for consulting and legal costs incurred to refinance our credit facilities. Other adjustment items include inventory write-offs and restoration of our wood pellet production facility due to flood damage sustained as a result of a tropical storm and costs to establish our
