On July 30, 2021, the Company sold the principal assets and certain liabilities of its Pickering and Kincardine offices, located in Ontario, Canada. These two offices were often referred to as the Canadian Power Systems business and principally provided engineering services to two major nuclear power providers in Canada. The two Canadian Power Systems offices were part of a reporting unit within the Company’s Engineering segment. The Company will continue to offer other engineering services in Canada and similar services in the United States. For the thirteen week periods ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, these two offices generated revenue of $0.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively. For the thirty-nine week periods ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, these two offices generated revenue of $4.9 million and $8.6 million, respectively. The Company recorded a $2.1 million gain on the sale of assets of the Canadian Power Systems business.
Bradley Vizi, Executive Chairman of RCM Technologies, commented, “Our third-quarter results demonstrate the tangible progress RCM Technologies has made over the past year. Our team's commitment to executing our vision has translated into tangible results. Compared to this point last year, the Company's business momentum and financial results have shown a stark improvement.”
Kevin Miller, Chief Financial Officer of RCM Technologies, commented, “Our third-quarter results exceeded our expectations. Adjusted EBITDA improved materially over a COVID-impacted third quarter of 2020, but more importantly, it equated to a roughly 70% improvement over the third quarter of 2019. We're excited to carry the momentum into the fourth quarter of 2021 and fiscal 2022. Also, mainly due to the sale of our Canadian Power Systems business, we ended the third quarter with a favorable net debt position. We expect a healthy uptick in debt during the fourth quarter as we invest in working capital.”
Conference Call
On Friday, November 12, 2021, RCM Technologies will host a conference call to discuss these results. The call will begin at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The dial-in number is (866) 578-1005.

Supplemental Operating Results on a Non-GAAP Basis
(Unaudited)
(In Thousands)
The following non-GAAP measures, which adjust for the categories of expenses described below, are non-GAAP financial measures. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures (“EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted operating income”) are useful information for investors, shareholders and other stakeholders of our company in gauging our results of operations on an ongoing basis and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our current financial performance and period-to-period comparisons. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted operating income should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of performance. In addition, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted operating income do not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. We do not intend the presentation of these non-GAAP measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The following unaudited tables present the Company's GAAP net income and GAAP operating income and the corresponding adjustments used to calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted operating income for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020.
