    • 103% increase in recurring fee-based Property & Parking Management revenue; YTD increase of 74%
    • 24 additional AUM vs. prior year
  • Net income increased 99% to $0.9 million; YTD increase of 51% to $1.9 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 56% to $1.6 million; YTD increase of 16% to $3.1 million
  • 6 new commercial leases executed in Q2 representing over 60,000 sqft. of office and retail space
  • Residential managed portfolio 97% leased; in-place rent growth of 7% vs. prior year

Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq: CHCI) (“Comstock” or the “Company”), a leading asset manager, developer, and operator of mixed-use and transit-oriented properties in the Washington, D.C. region, announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“Our growth continued as expected in Q2, as we achieved comparative quarterly revenue growth for the 16th consecutive period driven by the expansion of our managed portfolio and the predictable, low-risk, fee-based nature of our business,” said Christopher Clemente, Comstock’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The stabilized assets in our managed portfolio are approximately 95% leased in total, and include numerous trophy-class office properties leased well-above industry averages as well as multiple residential buildings that are essentially at full capacity. The performance of our managed portfolio clearly demonstrates the “flight-to-quality” trend that is reshaping the commercial real estate landscape. It is also a testament to our dedicated team of professionals who show up every day to make a difference for our customers, our stakeholders, and in the communities that we serve.”

Mr. Clemente continued, “During the quarter, our long-term vision for The Row at Reston Station started coming into focus. We topped off two new buildings, Virginia’s first-ever JW Marriott Hotel and Residences and the BLVD Haley residential tower. We held a grand opening for a state-of-the-art VIDA Fitness facility, the first of several exciting retail openings scheduled to occur during the next year, which impressively has already attracted approximately 2,000 members. In addition, we opened the on-site sales office for the JW Marriott-branded residences that will occupy the top half of the 28-story tower and begin delivering in mid-2025. I am pleased to report that pre-sales of the residences are currently exceeding projections on both volume and pricing, a strong indicator that sales of the remaining units will continue. I look forward to reporting on our accomplishments in the upcoming periods as we continue to focus on driving further value for all stakeholders.”

The increases in Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were primarily driven by the significant increases in recurring fee-based property management revenue in the current period.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations, excluding the impact of interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and gain or loss on equity method investments in real estate ventures.

We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate financial performance, analyze the underlying trends in our business and establish operational goals and forecasts that are used when allocating resources. We expect to compute Adjusted EBITDA consistently using the same methods each period.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure because it permits investors to better understand changes over comparative periods by providing financial results that are unaffected by certain non-cash items that are not considered by management to be indicative of our operational performance.

While we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors when evaluating our business, it is not prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and therefore should be considered supplemental in nature. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute, for other financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

“Our growth continued as expected in Q2, as we achieved comparative quarterly revenue growth for the 16th consecutive period driven by the expansion of our managed portfolio and the predictable, low-risk, fee-based nature of our business” - Chris Clemente
