As previously disclosed, in September we reached an agreement to sell our KaVo Treatment Unit and Instrument business (the "Divestiture"). We expect this transaction to close by the end of the year. For the current quarter the results of the Divestiture are reflected as discontinued operations in our financial statements as required by generally accepted accounting principles. All commentary in this release relates to continuing operations unless otherwise noted.
For the quarter ended October 1, 2021, sales increased 11% to $607.3 million with core sales growth of 10.2% over the third quarter 2020.
For the third quarter, net income was $80.2 million or $0.45 per diluted share. Adjusted net income was $79.4 million, representing a 22% increase year over year. Adjusted earnings per diluted share was $0.45 vs. $0.40 in the comparable period in 2020. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $119.1 million compared to $111.4 million for the third quarter of 2020.
Amir Aghdaei, Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "We grew significantly above pre-pandemic levels and delivered double-digit core growth over 2020 as we continued to benefit from the reshaping of our portfolio and our long-term investments in both commercial execution and innovation. Our adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.6% reflecting the underlying profitability of our business and our focus on continuous improvement."
Mr. Aghdaei continued, "We are very pleased with our third quarter results and remain optimistic about the future of the dental industry. Since our IPO in September 2019, we have made significant progress in transforming our business from a broad mix of dental products to a focused company providing highly differentiated consumables and specialty dental products underpinned by strong digital workflow solutions. We remain committed to our purpose of partnering with professionals to improve patients' lives and will continue to work to personalize, digitize, and democratize dental care."
