As previously reported, the Company’s recently completed Trophy office towers in The Row at Reston Station remain in high demand for office tenants seeking highly amenitized, mixed-use, transit-oriented neighborhoods to attract their workforces back to the office, while the development’s residential, retail, and hospitality assets have continued to perform and near full stabilization.
Additionally, residential and commercial acquisitions under the Company’s Institutional Venture Platform have generated significant transaction-related revenue, expanded the Company’s development pipeline, and created additional fee-based revenue streams. The recently announced expansion of the Company’s operating platform to include regional mall management and leasing services introduces a new vertical that fits the skill set of Comstock’s management team. This new offering further diversifies the Company’s sources of revenue and opens new opportunities for expansion outside of the Washington, D.C. region, significantly enhancing Comstock’s future growth plans.
The Company will post an updated Investor Presentation to the “Events and Presentations” section of its Investor Relations website on May 14, 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA |

|
The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are primarily driven by significant increases in recurring fee-based revenue from our three operating property management subsidiaries and higher asset management fee revenue from the continued expansion of our managed portfolio.
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 unrealized gains (losses) on real estate ventures and equity 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.
