Brent Willis -- Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Lisa. And as an aside, I am so excited that you're part of the company and excited about the contributions you're going to be making for both the company and for our shareholders. So good afternoon, everybody, and thank you to everyone for joining the call today. On today's call, I'd like to give you some insight into progress against our major strategic priorities, provide perspective on our overall performance in the quarter and highlight some of our major drivers of our results going forward.

And then Kevin is going to take you through the quarterly financials. First, let me start off with a review of the quarter. Revenue increased 59% year over year to $100 million. Gross margin improved six full points to 66.3%, and adjusted EBITDA also improved by almost 50% versus last year.

And achieving these results in the context of everything going on in the world, while we are in the midst of acquisition and integration and all of its associated complexities is not easy. Not only that, because we are managing our business to deliver sustainable and consistently growing EBITDA over time, we have had to make some decisions that may impact our results in the short term, but which are essential to building our foundation and providing a springboard for growth. And in the third quarter, we made some of those decisions for the long term, especially in the upgrade and integration of our systems across all partner companies, making a number of cost reductions to improve SG&A as a percentage of net sales and further integration of our operations. We made these decisions for the long-term health of our company, but they did have a short-term impact in Q3.

For example, the onetime system integration had a negative impact on revenue. Also in the third quarter, our China business was negatively impacted by the industry changes enacted by the PRC government and Japan continued to feel the effects of the government sanction from last year. On the flip side, we saw good growth in a number of geographies around the world as these markets began to get back to work following COVID shutdowns. We overcame many of the complexities in the quarter as evidenced by improvement in our key indicators.

Our monthly autoship subscribers increased 15% versus the prior quarter, and average order size was 6% higher. And the reason we track these key metrics across all of our markets, really on a day-to-day basis is because they are the leading indicators of revenue in the coming months. And for the most part, these indicators are all improving and moving in the right direction. Now looking ahead, we believe the systems upgrade and most of the merger integration items that impacted the top line in the quarter are onetime in nature and largely behind us, but we still have a few open items to complete.

We are, however, encouraged by improving top-line growth trends in the fourth quarter. Underlying demand is strong, evidenced by the metrics of our brand partners, and we anticipate sequential organic growth in Q4 in the high-single digits. We remain focused on what we can control, delivering on our promise to all stakeholders to drive growth and to do so profitably. While our supply chain remains strong, and we've had no major out of stocks, our lead times and cost on many of our raw materials, production, and shipping have all increased, like virtually every other CPG company in the world.

Kudos to our operations team, however, who have managed through the complexities like champs. As a result, though, we have had to hold higher inventory than planned, and this has a cash cost to us. But our redundancies that we have built into our supply chain are proving to be robust. But when we look at 2022, these actions are going to be even more critical because we don't expect the global supply chain complexities to diminish.

We are also harmonizing our manufacturing and logistics footprint globally, which led to the closing of our Mainz, Germany, European warehousing and establishing more operations locally in both the Netherlands and Italy. This has reduced our cost and improved our ability to serve our customers on a more local and locally centric basis. All these actions together have helped us improve our gross margin a full 6 points versus last year. This is the end result of all of those actions and reduced SG&A as a percent of net sales that Kevin will discuss.

Now these priorities are component parts of methodically growing profitability and capitalizing on the underlying trends that will propel our business forward. These are mega-trends like consumers pursuit of health and wellness worldwide and the demand for healthy, clean products. Our R&D team has been relentless in developing a pipeline of healthy, functionally differentiated brands that are -- they're as efficacious as they are safe and many of which have important benefits that, frankly, approach the boundaries and historical turf of big pharma. For example, our scientists discovered that our Tahitian Noni juice inhibits the ability of spike proteins to bind to human cells, adding to the long list of health benefits guarded from this incredible super fruit.

And we're excited to have recently launched our Lucim Eyelash Volumizer and natural Lip Plumper also developed 100% in-house, tapping into the growth segments within the healthy appearance category. These products were just rolled out to our North American brand partners and the initial inventory sold out within hours. We think we're just getting started in our business model with our aggregated base of influencers. We continue to invest in technology enhancements, such that our brand partners can use social selling seamlessly and develop multiple revenue streams, and we are continually rolling out new tools and tech to help them expand their businesses.

And speaking of the expansion, we just opened up the Southern cone of Africa and will be expanding in many of the surrounding markets beginning in the fourth quarter. We are running the business for the long-term to benefit all of our many different stakeholders, our investors, of course, but also our associates, our brand partners, customers, suppliers, and the communities we serve worldwide. We are working toward the same goal, making this transformation to become the leading social selling and distribution company in the world. It's not built overnight, but we think we have a world-class team, recently bolstered by the additions of Jen Grafton as our new general counsel; Lisa Mueller as our new head of investor relations; and Karima McDaniel, who is promoted internally to become our chief marketing officer.

We also will be evolving our board as we progress to the next level. I want to personally thank Tim Haas, who recently announced his retirement after four years of dedicated service to the company. Tim was a grave and values-centric leader for our company, and he and I have personally known each other for over 20 years since he was my boss at the Coca-Cola Company. He's now 75, and we have had just about enough of each other.

He will be sorely missed, however, both personally and professionally, but deserves all the credit in the world. He is a fantastic and tough board member as a leader and as a personal mentor, personally, Tim, thank you. As we evolve our board and as we strengthen our leadership team and team of dedicated and passion brand partners, we have a tremendous amount of confidence with an increasingly clear line of sight to achieving our financial objectives, increasingly strong commitment to making a difference to the planet with healthy products and increasing belief in our unencumbered opportunity to become the leading social selling and distribution company in the world. And with that, I'll now turn it over to Kevin to review our third quarter results in more detail.

Kevin?

Kevin Manion -- Chief Financial Officer

Thank you, Brent, and good afternoon from our global world headquarters in Denver, Colorado. I'll start by discussing our financial results for the third quarter, followed by comments on our balance sheet. Please note that all comparisons are year over year unless otherwise noted. We will also be discussing non-GAAP results and a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures is included in our earnings release and 10-Q.

On a consolidated basis, third quarter revenue was $100 million, compared to $63 million, which is a 59% increase over last year. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of ARIIX and Aliven. Last year's revenue also included $2 million from the retail brand business, which we sold in Q3 of last year. Our acquisitions contributed significantly to our year-over-year growth, with revenues growing 54% in China, 24% in Japan, and 16% in the US and also providing entry into new markets, such as Italy and France.

Gross profit increased from $37 million to $66 million, primarily due to the additions of ARIIX and Aliven and also margin enhancement activities. Overall, gross margin percentage increased from 59.8% to 66.3% due to the positive impact of higher sales mix from ARIIX and Aliven, which carry a higher gross margin than our legacy DSD segment. The increase was also partially offset by higher freight costs. SG&A increased from $28 million to $39 million, primarily due to the addition of ARIIX and other companies that were added to our group at the end of November last year.

Although this is an increase on an absolute dollar basis, SG&A as a percent of revenue decreased from 45% to 39% this quarter. Our long-term target for SG&A remains at 25% of net revenue. As Brent mentioned, we made excellent progress in the third quarter, making improvements to our cost structure. We reduced annual compensation cost by over $3 million, closed several offices, and sold the American Fork, Utah manufacturing facility, both of those save an additional $2 million annually.

Adjusted EBITDA improved from a loss of $8.4 million in Q3 of 2020 to a loss of $4.4 million this quarter. Included in adjusted EBITDA are two non-cash items: a $9.8 million gain for the forgiveness of PPP loans and a $16.2 million impairment charge for the write-off of the non-compete agreement from our ARIIX combination. The net loss was $2.7 million or $0.02 per share, an improvement from a net loss of $14.1 million or $0.14 per share versus the third quarter last year. Net income will continue to be significantly impacted by the change in fair value of the derivative liability and liability classified warrants, which was $19.5 million this quarter.

As a reminder, these instruments were used in our acquisitions and current financing and an increase in our stock price has a negative impact on the change in fair value. And accordingly, net income, while a decrease in our stock price has the opposite effect. Turning to the balance sheet. We have $62 million of total cash and $18 million of debt.

We responded to the current supply chain pressures by increasing finished good inventories, which enables us to continue to meet consumer demand. We maintain a strong balance sheet with low leverage, and we are well-positioned to take advantage of potential growth opportunities as well as invest in our current infrastructure. Looking ahead, we anticipate having more visibility as we move beyond the integration of our acquisitions and as COVID transitions from pandemic to endemic, we expect to be able to provide guidance for the year 2022 when we report fourth quarter earnings in March. In the meantime, as we are six weeks into the fourth quarter, our revenues are trending higher in the high-single digits compared to the third quarter.

Before turning the call to questions, I want to make mention of two grants of common stock that are coming up this quarter. The first is a tranche of 1.67 million shares, which was approved by shareholders in May. The second tranche is the 12-month payout owed to the ARIIX shareholders as part of the merger agreement, which is set at a target of 25 million shares. The actual number of shares to be granted will be dependent upon finalization of working capital adjustments.

Both tranches are subject to a six-month lockup provision. Looking ahead, we remain confident in our growth strategy, and we are incredibly optimistic about the future for NewAge. We are committed to improving shareholder communications and delivering a best practices investor relations program. And with that, I'd like to turn it over to the operator to open the line for questions from our analysts.

Questions & Answers:


Operator

Thank you. [Operator instructions] Our first question is coming from the line of Mike Grondahl from Northland Securities. You may now proceed.

Luke Horton -- Northland Securities -- Analyst

Hey, guys. This is Luke on for Mike. Wondering if you guys could talk a little more on geographic performance during the quarter, and any assumptions going forward in any specific regions as far as continued disruptions or rebounds you expect? And then secondly, wondering if you guys have any updates on the M&A front. I think last quarter, you guys mentioned you're still kind of putting the roadmap together in this area.

But just wondering if your appetite for M&A has grown or if you're more focused on kind of leveraging and building out the core platforms organically.

Brent Willis -- Chief Executive Officer

Yes. Great question, Luke. Thank you. It's Brent here.

On the geographic side, one of the scourges and benefits of being in 75 markets is sometimes some go up in certain regions of the world, sometimes some go down. As mentioned on the call, we have had the impact in China due to the government changes there. And we have had the impact in Japan. But as we work through those issues and we think we're working through both of those issues there and adjusting our business models and rolling out our social selling tools in China, and integrating our businesses, including our newest business there, Aliven in Japan, we see renewed growth in those markets.

Europe continues to grow well for us and as does the Americas. So it is a combination of puts and takes, but we do see growth opportunities across all of our geographies. And to the second point of your question, whether organic or external growth, we still see a whole wealth of opportunities out there. And we've been cautious in pursuing those external growth opportunities because we wanted to get the foundation right, especially in our systems.

So it's kind of nine months since we've had ARIIX and Noni's, you know, MaVie, LIMU, and Aliven together, right, which in acquisition and integration timing is a very short period of time. So we're still in acquisition and integration mode to deliver the cost and the revenue synergies from all of the benefits of those acquisitions, which we captured a lot of those incrementally, as Kevin mentioned, in terms of lower SG&A and compensation costs in the quarter. Those are all benefits of the merger. And we're well in excess, I would say, of the initial synergies that we committed to shareholders to achieve from that combination.

So we spent this year really on acquisition and integration. And I would say, as it relates to external growth for the right price, primarily using debt because we don't believe that we can use our equity at this price for acquisitions in any significant measure. We think that as those opportunities come around to add scale and reduce SG&A, that got to really deliver for us financially on those two fronts, we'll definitely look at them. But there is a whole host of opportunities out there of companies that would love to join us.

But right now, our focus is continue to drive the integration, drive EBITDA margin, drive organic growth, and as external growth opportunities come about where we can intelligently and methodically integrate and we'll definitely look at those.

Luke Horton -- Northland Securities -- Analyst

Got it. And then just kind of a quick follow-up here on the acquisition and integration front. As far as ARIIX, anything to call out there? Is that still outperforming your guys' expectations? And is that -- you guys still planning on growth from that segment?

Brent Willis -- Chief Executive Officer

Yes. I would say, look, we communicated that we would deliver at least $20 million in cost synergies. And I would say that we're at least 30% ahead of target. Now it doesn't -- and we committed that, that would happen in accrue to the P&L over a 12- to 18-month period of time.

So 9 months in, we have visibility to at least 30% improvement on that number, and we expect that to fully materialize, probably closer to the 12-month timeframe from an acquisition standpoint versus 18 months. So a little bit faster than anticipated and about 30% greater than anticipated.

Luke Horton -- Northland Securities -- Analyst

Got it. Thanks, guys. I'll hop back in the queue.

Operator

Our next question today comes from the line of Sean McGowan from ROTH Capital Partners. You may now proceed.

Sean McGowan -- ROTH Capital Partners -- Analyst

Thank you. Can you hear me OK?

Brent Willis -- Chief Executive Officer

Hey, Sean.

Sean McGowan -- ROTH Capital Partners -- Analyst

Oh, good. Thanks. Can you quantify or help us understand the magnitude of the effect on revenue of that system switchover? Just how much did that cost you?

Kevin Manion -- Chief Financial Officer

Yes. This is Kevin. Sean. So I think, look, that's a lot of art rather than science.

So I would say it certainly was more than a couple million bucks and less than 15-ish. So it was an issue that happens a lot when you integrate two businesses and you have to reeducate all your brand partners and your sales teams. So the guys have done a great job of integrating and stabilizing, but it's been hard work, and it was certainly bumpy because we were going very fast across a lot of countries in a lot of geographies.

Sean McGowan -- ROTH Capital Partners -- Analyst

OK. And maybe you can help me understand something. So last year, in 2020, you didn't have the ARIIX until the fourth quarter. And your second and third quarters were about the same.

You get to the second quarter of this year a very big contribution from ARIIX and it seems like maybe not as much in the third quarter. So can you help me with the kind of breakdown of organic versus acquired growth in the third quarter compared to last year?

Brent Willis -- Chief Executive Officer

There wasn't a lot of seasonality. So it's not really that, but it is a measure and a combination of this integration. I think when you look at the competitive set, they saw similar kinds of organic impacts in Q3 versus Q2, we saw the same as basically people were pent-up for 18 months, and some of our brand partners took vacation, especially in Europe, because it's the first time they were able to do it in 18 months. So I think they took the pedal off the metal a little bit there in that respect.

And then we had the challenges, as we mentioned, both with the Japan impact from the sanction from last year that wasn't in the numbers, the impact of the PRC government changes in terms of shipping models and bonded warehousing and other impacts there and the impact of the systems change, which really affected us worldwide. So all of those three things, we think, are onetime impacts, but they did impact on a sequential basis versus Q2. And I think the headline for us is, look, we still see this as an attractive growth business, organic growth business. And that's why Kevin mentioned, we see already for Q4, high single-digit growth moving into Q4.

As we work through these integration challenges and build the right foundation to help our brand partners grow their business worldwide.

Sean McGowan -- ROTH Capital Partners -- Analyst

OK. And just to be clear, that's sequential as compared to the third quarter, that high-single digits growth?

Brent Willis -- Chief Executive Officer

Correct.

Sean McGowan -- ROTH Capital Partners -- Analyst

OK. And, Kevin, would you expect, given a bunch of the expense commentary, would you expect adjusted EBITDA to be positive in the fourth quarter?

Kevin Manion -- Chief Financial Officer

I'm not going to give guidance, but the answer is certainly, we've made a lot of investments and eliminated some redundancies and positions and rationalize our real estate footprint. So certainly, SG&A costs will go down.

Sean McGowan -- ROTH Capital Partners -- Analyst

OK. Down in dollars, you mean?

Kevin Manion -- Chief Financial Officer

Correct.

Sean McGowan -- ROTH Capital Partners -- Analyst

OK. All right. Thank you.

Kevin Manion -- Chief Financial Officer

You're welcome. Thanks, Sean.

Operator

[Operator instructions] Next question is coming from the line of Aaron Grey from Alliance Global. You may now proceed.

Aaron Grey -- Alliance Global Partners -- Analyst

Are you guys able to hear me OK?

Brent Willis -- Chief Executive Officer

Yes. We got you, dude.

Aaron Grey -- Alliance Global Partners -- Analyst

All right. Hi. Good evening. Thanks for the question.

I'll start right back over. So first question for me, supply chain issues that you spoke to, Brent, obviously, an issue that's impacting almost everybody within the industry today. But you kind of spoke to kind of having continuing impact for you guys. And just curious, you spoke about sometimes the systems consolidation, and I was wondering in terms of if the supply chain issues, how much of an impact that might have had? And if you expect that to continue, does that kind of impact maybe the pace of top-line growth you guys can have going forward, especially as you try and integrate these two businesses and being in 75 countries? Just trying to get a better sense of high single-digit growth for the fourth quarter, how do we think about that going into 2022?

Brent Willis -- Chief Executive Officer

It's a great question, Aaron. And I will tell you, the supply chain complexities are real. That being said, I can't overemphasize how proud I am of our entire operations and supply chain team and what just a superb job that they've done. And I don't think we've had any kind of negative impact on revenue or disruptions from a supply chain standpoint.

We haven't had any out of stock. So that's point one. The second data point in terms of performance on a supply chain and operations standpoint is the improvement in gross margin of 6 points. That's the end result of shipping and cost of goods sold, management and margin improvement in portfolio and improvement in margin from value engineering of the portfolio.

So the team has done a superb job on all three of those fronts, too. And then lastly, everybody, I think, on the planet knows of the long-haul logistics and over-water logistics difficulties that are happening around the world, and the things that we've done to alleviate those of -- we're doing a lot of less shipment, let's say, from Tahiti into the United States, and rather we're doing shipments from to Tahiti direct to in-country markets, number one, a lot more in-country production number two, and just avoiding having to ship out from the US to the rest of the world. So because we've made those adjustments in our supply chain over the past, I would say, 6 or 9 months, it really puts us in a strong position to continue to manage the business unencumbered.

Aaron Grey -- Alliance Global Partners -- Analyst

OK. And it's great to hear that supply chain issue wasn't a big impact on the top line during the quarter for you guys nor out of stock.

Brent Willis -- Chief Executive Officer

Yes. This quarter. honestly, it was systems, Aaron, as we integrated that, and that's a huge deal. It was China in terms of the rule changes.

But I think we're really through that, and boy, China looks fantastic so far in Q4, and it was the Japan sanction recovery, and that is coming back around a bit slower but still coming around.

Aaron Grey -- Alliance Global Partners -- Analyst

OK. That's helpful. So then kind of look forward, I know you guys aren't giving guidance right now, but I just thinking about kind of maybe some sense of normalcy after COVID, you guys had implemented a lot of omnichannel initiatives mid-COVID, you know, people spend a lot more time then in the house. But as people get back out are going back on, taking the vacations, like you talk about some of your own employees now.

How do you think about the business and maybe people spending more of their discretionary dollars on vacations or otherwise more out-of-home experiences and how that might impact the sales trends as we look ahead into 2022? Just trying to get a better sense of maybe those organic growth opportunities for your omnichannel initiative that you had.

Brent Willis -- Chief Executive Officer

On the negative side, first, let me deal with that, right, just to be balanced in terms of the situation assessment, on the negative side, especially in Q3, you saw people getting out, right? You saw less brand partners joining this sector, this industry. And overall, I think there was about a 20% decline or 21% decline in brand partners or reps or distributors, whatever you want to call them, participating or joining in this industry. And so I think every competitor, at least in direct selling felt that effect. That's short-term though.

Long term, we see real trends toward direct-to-consumer purchases and direct-to-consumer shipping and away from traditional retail, and we don't think it's going to go back. We think traditional retail will continue to be dis-intermediated. That is really in our sweet spot and a fantastic tailwind for us. We see the real trends toward healthy products and the needs for consumers to intake more healthy products because they are recognizing that self-care is the new healthcare, and we're right on trend there.

And then frankly, in terms of what is influencing purchase behavior and buying decisions is not TV advertising anymore, it's not print, and those kinds of things. It's not your point-of-sale marketing within traditional retail. It's word of mouth. And it's people social fees that are impacting more than 90% of purchase decisions in every single region of the world.

And guess what, that is us, too. So from a business model standpoint, even though we're in the first inning of execution of the business model, just pulling the scale and the company together and all of the social selling tech to kind of put that on nuclear overdrive, Aaron, we have all these tailwinds behind us that are headwinds for this trillion-dollar consumer goods industry, but tailwinds for us. So if I could go back in time and be Monday morning quarterback, I wouldn't change a single thing right now in our business model. I would accelerate it and get it done faster, I would get more scale because the benefits of scale, as we pointed out to investors, really has the benefit on lower SG&A and higher EBITDA margins.

So that is still our focus in the short-term of drive more EBITDA margin, drive free cash, drive positive operating income margin. But as we continue to do that, we want to drive the top line, and we have all these tailwinds behind us that will support our execution of the business model. But even if I had hindsight, I wouldn't change a single thing of the business model today.

Aaron Grey -- Alliance Global Partners -- Analyst

That's really helpful color. And then if I could just ask a third question, kind of putting some of the pieces together here, right? So about $100 million for the quarter, you'd peak about $125 million, $126 million in the first quarter. It sounds like it's going to be some time to get back to that peak level, high-single digit, put around $108 million, $109 million for 4Q. So is it fair to think that get to that $125 million, $126 million run rate is going to take some time for you guys? And it's better to think about that mid- high single-digit sequential growth rate as being the best kind of measure kind of going forward for the next couple of quarters?

Kevin Manion -- Chief Financial Officer

Well, I think, again, we're not giving guidance yet, and we're certainly working on the 2022 plan. I think as the pandemic becomes an endemic, we'll get a better view as to our ability for our brand partners to be together. And then certainly, as Brent mentioned, we've got some new products that we've introduced here in North America that seem to be off to a pretty nice start. So I think there's plenty of optimism, but we'll put numbers on it when we talk again in March.

Brent Willis -- Chief Executive Officer

And I would say just to follow-up on that, Kevin's right, we're going to take a cautious under-promise approach, and we'll come back to you in March. But I've just been out with our group President, Mark Wilson, who I continue to believe, is by far and away, if not the best, one of the best in this industry at what he does. And he and I have just been out. He was in Spain.

Our teams were out doing business partner meetings in Germany, in the UK, and then I got to participate in like 1,000 person kind of meetings in France and Italy over the past couple of weeks, and we had a huge one in the US and another one coming up this weekend in the US So we are getting back out to do the business, and the excitement of this company, and I hate to, and I don't want to overstate it, but the excitement in the company and the optimism in our company is palpable. So we're just going to build on that, and build on that momentum and belief. But I would say to all of the investors, look, thank you for your confidence. Thank you for participating in our call today and for the continued support and interest in NewAge.

We're going to be participating in the ROTH Corporate Access Conference coming up and at the ICR Conference coming up in January. So thank you for the questions today. And please feel free to reach out at any time if we can answer any additional questions. And thanks for the continued confidence, support, and belief to all of our very value-added investors.

Thank you.
