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."

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 September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021			2022			2021
Net income (loss) from continuing operations	$	3,689	$	3,057		$	6,417		$	15,096
Interest expense		94		60			222			176
Income taxes		62		25			(42	)		(11,289	)
Depreciation and amortization		55		23			149			65
Stock-based compensation		212		153			629			454
(Gain) loss on equity method investments		31		(1	)		(238	)		93
Adjusted EBITDA	$	4,143	$	3,317		$	7,137		$	4,595

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.
