“I am pleased to report that we continue to deliver on the growth objectives that have been the central theme of our strategic plan, best evidenced by achieving double-digit growth across each one of our key financial metrics in Q2,” said Christopher Clemente, Comstock’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The strength of our business model is characterized by the upward trajectory of our top and bottom lines and underpinned by its low-risk, high reward philosophy. With zero debt and a pristine balance sheet, we were able to generate over $2 million of operating cash in Q2 alone. This success was directly fueled by the growing fee-based revenue streams that we earn from our long-term asset and property management agreements, providing us with a stable foundation for growth and clear visibility into our future earnings potential.”
Mr. Clemente continued, “The high quality assets we manage continue to be amongst the most sought-after in the D.C. region, supported by our hard-working team of professionals that show up every day and are frequently recognized as best-in-class. The second half will see the official delivery of The Row at Reston Station - a remarkable project that is a significant development milestone for Comstock and will make what is already one of Virginia’s premier destinations even better.”

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 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.
