Research and development costs were $35.4 million in the third quarter of 2021. This represents an increase of 27% over the third quarter in 2020 as we continued to increase capabilities, opened our new R&D center in Glasgow and further resourced our development teams for continued pipeline delivery.
SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2021 of $58.9 million includes an IFRS 2 charge of $22.2 million for the difference in the fair value of the shares deemed to have been issued by LumiraDx in the merger transaction to CA Healthcare shareholders and the net assets of CA Healthcare and $8.6 million of LumiraDx transaction costs as part of LumiraDx’s transaction to go public on Nasdaq. Excluding these items, SG&A expenses were $28.1 million, an increase of $15.9 million from the third quarter in 2020 as we expanded staffing globally to support the commercial growth of LumiraDx’s Platform and Fast Lab Solutions.
Net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $84.8 million, or $0.46 per fully diluted share. Net income arose from certain accounting gains on the conversion of our debt and equity securities as part of the merger transaction. Our non-IFRS adjusted net loss for the period, excluding merger expenses and excluding amortization, share-based payment expenses and unrealized foreign exchange gains was $29.8 million, or a loss of $0.16 per share.
At September 30, 2021, LumiraDx had $300 million in senior debt and $18 million in other term debt. The company’s cash balance at September 30, 2021 was $217.7 million.
