Jeld-Wen Holding's 3Q 2020 net revenue increased $20.9 million, or 1.9%, to $1,112.9 million, compared to $1,092.0 million for the same period last year. The increase in net revenue was primarily driven by a 2% positive impact from foreign exchange.
Net income was $25.5 million during the 3Q 2020, compared to net income of $17 million in the same quarter last year, an increase of $8.4 million. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher gross profit from improved price realization and operational improvements and a lower effective book income tax rate, partially offset by higher SG&A primarily due to legal expenses. Adjusted net income for the 3Q increased $26 million, or 97.7%, to $52.6 million, compared to $26.6 million in the same quarter last year.
Adjusted EBITDA increased $21.8 million, or 20.0%, to $130.7 million, compared to the same quarter last year.
