Total revenues increased 2%, or $2.3 million, to $144.9 million compared with $142.6 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase was driven primarily by (i) three incremental net new shipboard health and wellness centers added to the fleet of cruise line partners; (ii) a continued trend towards larger and enhanced shipboard health and wellness centers; and (iii) increasing collaboration with cruise line partners. This growth was partially offset by the negative impacts of Hurricane Dorian and unexpected shipsout-of-service. The split of revenue growth between service and product revenues was as follows:
| • | | Service revenues increased 2%, to $110.6 million. |
| • | | Product revenues were essentially flat at $34.3 million. |
Cost of servicesincreased $1.9 million, or 2%, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in service revenues.
Cost of productsdecreased $0.3 million, or 1%, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

Administrative expensesincreased $3.0 million to $5.4 million, compared to $2.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, driven primarily by expenses incurred to support our operations as a new publicly traded company.
Salary and payroll taxesdecreased $1.1 million to $3.0 million, compared to $4.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, as lower incentive compensation expense offset increased headcount to support our operations as a new publicly traded company.

Other income (expense), netdecreased $4.4 million to an expense of $4.6 million, compared to an expense of $9.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, primarily due to lower interest expense related to the new debt financing in connection with the Business Combination compared to the amount and cost of debt outstanding in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 prior to the Business Combination.
