Q125 results again produce double-digit growth across key financial metrics
- Revenue increased 19% to $12.6 million, including 20% increase in total recurring fee-based revenue
- Net income of $1.6 million, a 75% increase vs. prior year
- Adjusted EBITDA of $2.1 million, a 38% increase vs. prior year
- 11 additional AUM vs. prior year; ParkX subsidiary continues to expand
- Commercial and Residential portfolio assets are thriving, remain leased well-above industry average
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 first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
“Fiscal 2025’s first quarter continued the steady growth and positive results that have become our standard, aligning with our plan and expectations,” said Christopher Clemente, Comstock’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Year-to-date top line revenue increased for the 25th consecutive quarter, driving the profitability and operating cash flow generation that are typical with our unique business model. The leasing momentum we experienced last year continued into Q1. We welcomed multiple new commercial tenants to our premium office buildings, including commercial property insurance giant, FM, and our highly amenitized residential buildings once again ended the period at near full-occupancy. Finally, in Q1 our ParkX team continued to increase its third-party AUM, setting the stage for another year of growth. With exciting milestones upcoming, particularly the initial delivery of significant assets in The Row at Reston Station this fall, 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for Comstock.”

|
The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is primarily driven by significant increases in recurring fee-based property and parking management revenue and supplemental asset management fee 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 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.
