Sales for the third quarter of 2018 decreased 3.7% to $874.8 million or a decrease of 1.6% after adjusting for IFRS15 and acquisitions. The Company benefited from growth in sustainable meat products, improved mix in branded prepared meats and a continued increase in plant protein. However, this positive performance was more than offset by lower fresh market values.
Sales for the first nine months decreased 1.7% to $2,601.6 million or a decrease of 0.1% after adjusting for IFRS15 and acquisitions. The drivers of the decrease are primarily attributed to the factors noted above.
Net earnings for the third quarter decreased to $26.6 million ($0.21 per basic share) compared to $37.6 million ($0.29 per basic share) in the third quarter of 2017. Continued growth in value-added pork and poultry and plant protein was more than offset by adverse underlying market conditions, including heightened volatility in hog prices, and strategic investments in food renovation to support long-term growth and market leadership in the Company's major brands. Third quarter results were also impacted by changes in the fair value of biological assets and derivative contracts, which are excluded in the calculation of Adjusted Operating Earnings below.
For the first nine months, net earnings were $89.4 million ($0.71 per basic share) compared to $105.0 million ($0.81 per basic share). The decrease in net earnings for year to date is consistent with the factors noted above.
Adjusted Operating Earnings decreased to $51.0 million from $65.2 million in the third quarter of 2017. The impact of lower hog prices and strategic investments in food renovation supporting major brand strategies were partially offset by lower input costs in prepared meats, expansion in value-added pork and poultry, plant protein and improved sales mix in branded prepared meats.
Adjusted Operating Earnings in the first nine months was $161.6 million compared to $199.2 million last year. Year to date results were also impacted by challenging market conditions in the pork complex and the other factors noted above.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the third quarter was 9.3% compared to 10.6% the third quarter of 2017. For the first nine months, Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased to 9.8% from 10.9% consistent with the factors noted above.
Other Matters
On October 24, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.13 per share payable December 28, 2018 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 7, 2018. Unless indicated otherwise by the Company at or before the time the dividend is paid, this dividend will be considered an eligible dividend for the purposes of the "Enhanced Dividend Tax Credit System".
Subsequent Event
On October 1, 2018, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of VIAU Food Products Inc., a privately held company engaged in the production and distribution of Italian cooked, dry-cured and charcuterie meats. The anticipated purchase price is $215.0 million prior to transaction fees, debt settlement, and working capital adjustments. The consideration will consist of $30.0 million in Maple Leaf Food's shares and the balance in cash financed with debt, and is expected to close in late 2018, subject to regulatory review.

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The Company uses the following non-IFRS measures: Adjusted Operating Earnings, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Net (Debt) Cash. Management believes that these non-IFRS measures provide useful information to investors in measuring the financial performance of the Company for the reasons outlined below. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS.
Adjusted Operating Earnings
Adjusted Operating Earnings, a non-IFRS measure, is used by Management to evaluate financial operating results. It is defined as earnings before income taxes adjusted for items that are not considered representative of ongoing operational activities of the business and items where the economic impact of the transactions will be reflected in earnings in future periods when the underlying asset is sold or transferred. The table below provides a reconciliation of net earnings as reported under IFRS in the consolidated financial statements of earnings to Adjusted Operating Earnings for the three and nine months ended, as indicated below. Management believes that this basis is the most appropriate on which to evaluate operating results, as they are representative of the ongoing operations of the Company.

Adjusted Earnings per Share, a non-IFRS measure, is used by Management to evaluate financial operating results.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest and income taxes plus depreciation and intangible asset amortization, adjusted for items that are not considered representative of ongoing operational activities of the business, and items where the economic impact of the transactions will be reflected in earnings in future periods when the underlying asset is sold or transferred. The following table provides a reconciliation of net earnings as reported under IFRS in the consolidated financial statements of earnings to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended, as indicated below. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful in assessing the performance of the Company's ongoing operations and its ability to generate cash flows to fund its cash requirements, including the Company's capital investment program.
