RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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, 2023.

“We continue to benefit from the flight-to-quality trend, which in recent years has significantly increased demand for mixed-use and transit-oriented developments in premier suburban locations and contributed to our top-line revenue growth,” said Christopher Clemente, Comstock’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “As evidenced by our ability to attract and retain tenants in a challenging environment faced with widespread capital market headwinds, we are well positioned for ongoing success. I am confident our growth will persist well into the future, primarily based on three key factors: our virtually debt-free, asset-light, fee-based business model, the proven demand for the high-quality assets we manage, develop, and operate, and the tireless dedication of our team members, who show up every day and are committed to delivering extraordinary services and experiences for our customers.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) from continuing operations, the most directly comparable financial measure as measured in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA:
	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022			2023		2022
Net income (loss) from continuing operations	$	475	$	714		$	1,229	$	2,728
Interest expense		—		69			—		128
Income taxes		147		352			303		(104	)
Depreciation and amortization		71		50			138		94
Stock-based compensation		266		220			504		417
(Gain) loss on equity method investments		68		(17	)		479		(269	)
Adjusted EBITDA	$	1,027	$	1,388		$	2,653	$	2,994

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.
