Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq: CHCI) (“Comstock” or the “Company”) announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
“We continue to achieve positive financial results, primarily driven by the consistency and strength of our Anchor Portfolio and highlighted by our 9th consecutive quarter of year-over-year top line growth,” said Christopher Clemente, Comstock’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We completed the deleveraging of our balance sheet by paying off our last remaining debt, minimizing the risk associated with rising interest rates and positioning us to continue our recent trend of year-over-year revenue and earnings growth. Our growing revenue pipeline and our low-leverage, asset-light business model will drive further earnings growth, allowing us to out-perform many industry peers and deliver value for our shareholders.”

Q3 2022 Highlights
- Recognized $3.9 million incentive fee revenue based on achievement of operating asset stabilization, pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Asset Management Agreement (“2022 AMA”).
- Continued to deleverage the balance sheet to reduce exposure to increasing interest rates through $5.5 million full pay down of outstanding principal balance on $10.0 million revolving credit facility.
- Secured approximately 98,000 square feet of new leases in Q3 related to office and retail assets, including a lease to Puttshack, whose 29,000 square foot facility will anchor Phase II of Reston Station, (which is currently under construction) and will be the first active entertainment venue of its kind in the area; Portfolio-wide, new leases secured year-to-date now at nearly 350,000 square feet.
- Advanced development of Phase II of Reston Station, the Reston Row District, that includes approximately 500,000 square feet of office space in two Trophy-Class towers, 450 multi-family units, 136,000 square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment venues, and Virginia’s first JW Marriott luxury hotel and branded condominium tower.
- Further expansion of managed assets in the Anchor Portfolio via significant additions land to the Reston Station development, including approximately 8 acres across Wiehle Avenue from the JW Marriott hotel/condo that will represent Phase III of Reston Station and approximately 3 acres located at the intersection of Reston Station Boulevard and Metro Center Drive. The Reston Station neighborhood now covers nearly 80 acres spanning the Dulles Toll Road and surrounding the Wiehle Reston-East Metro Station.
- Continued expansion of the ParkX portfolio of managed commercial garages, with new locations open or coming soon in Fairfax County, Montgomery County, and Washington, D.C.
- Utilization of leased commercial properties in our managed portfolio increased during the period, a trend that began early in the year.
- Residential portfolio continues to experience year-over-year growth in occupancy levels and revenue.

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.
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.
