'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.

Why Rocket Lab (RKLB) Stock Is Falling Today
What Happened? Shares of aerospace and defense company Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB) fell 8.8% in the afternoon session after investors took some profits off the table as markets awaited signals on future monetary policy from the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole symposium later in the week. The downturn in the market was largely attributed to a significant sell-off in megacap tech and chipmaker shares. Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), and Broadcom all saw notable drops, dragging down the VanEck Semiconductor ETF. Other major tech-related companies like Tesla, Meta Platforms, and Netflix were also under pressure. A key reason for this trend is that much of the recent market gains have been concentrated in the "AI trade," which includes these large technology and semiconductor companies. So this could also mean that some investors are locking in some gains ahead of more definitive feedback from the Fed. The shares closed the day at $40.91, down 9% from previous close. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Rocket Lab? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. What Is The Market Telling Us Rocket Lab's shares are extremely volatile and have had 74 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 7 days ago when the stock gained 4.9% on the news that an in-line inflation report fueled hopes for interest rate cuts and the U.S. and China agreed to extend their tariff truce. The Consumer Price Index (CPI), a key measure of inflation, came in largely as expected, holding steady at 2.7% year-over-year. This reading boosted investor optimism that the Federal Reserve will have room to lower interest rates at its next meeting, which could reduce borrowing costs for companies and consumers. Adding to the positive sentiment, the U.S. and China extended their tariff truce for another 90 days. This development alleviates concerns about renewed trade tensions, which is a significant relief for industrial companies reliant on global supply chains and international sales. Together, these events create a favorable outlook for economic growth, benefiting cyclical sectors like industrials. Rocket Lab is up 63.9% since the beginning of the year, but at $40.92 per share, it is still trading 20.4% below its 52-week high of $51.39 from July 2025. Unless you've been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.

James Hardie Reports First Quarter FY26 Results;
SYDNEY & CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- James Hardie Industries plc (NYSE / ASX : JHX) ("James Hardie" or the "Company"), a leading provider of exterior home and outdoor living solutions, today announced results for its first quarter ending June 30, 2025. Aaron Erter, CEO said, "Our first quarter results were largely as we had anticipated, and reflect an expected normalization of channel inventories, due to moderating growth expectations by customers as uncertainty built throughout April and early May. We remain committed to outperforming market demand over the long term and are employing strategies to deliver on this commitment, notwithstanding near-term conditions. Our actions are centered around our value proposition to customers, and our solid execution against these strategies amplifies our expansive material conversion opportunity. We are resolute in our strategy that is grounded in being homeowner focused, customer and contractor driven. In essence this means that the driving force of our business is our unwavering commitment to delivering winning solutions across the customer value chain." Mr. Erter continued, "AZEK again exceeded guidance, sustaining top line momentum and impressive profitability. For Deck, Rail & Accessories, solid sell-through growth demonstrates the resilient demand profile of the category and TimberTech's strong value proposition. We are working diligently to integrate and deliver on cost and commercial synergies on an accelerated timeline, positioning ourselves to capture the expansive material conversion opportunity ahead and deliver on our long-term value creation commitments to shareholders. Early enthusiastic feedback on our combination with AZEK from dealer customers has been very encouraging, and our confidence in the strategic logic of the combined enterprise is greater than ever. I am so proud of the focus and dedication shown by our One Hardie Team over the last 50 days, and I am confident that together we are elevating James Hardie to be a clear leader in the building products industry." Consolidated Financial Information Segment Business Update and Results North America Fiber Cement Q1 FY26 Q1 FY25 Change North America Fiber Cement (US$ millions) Net Sales 641.8 729.3 (12%) Operating Income 161.2 227.3 (29%) Operating Income Margin 25.1% 31.2% (610bps) Adjusted EBITDA 205.8 263.4 (22%) Adjusted EBITDA Margin 32.1% 36.1% (400bps) Expand Net sales decreased (12%), due primarily to lower volumes driven by soft market demand and inventory management by our customers, partially offset by an increase in average net sales price. Volume declines were similar across Single-Family Exteriors and Interiors, while Multi-Family volumes grew modestly. Single-Family Exteriors declined primarily due to a softening outlook for new construction across the South, where James Hardie has built strong leadership positions with large homebuilders in key long-term growth markets like Texas, Florida and Georgia. Housing markets in these geographies have been especially impacted in the near term by affordability challenges and elevated housing inventory. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased (400bps) to 32.1%, due to unfavorable production cost absorption associated with lower volumes in addition to unfavorable raw materials, partially offset by a higher average net sales price and Hardie Operating System (HOS) savings. In North America, the Company remains committed to delivering a superior value proposition to customers and a leading margin profile to support our capital allocation priorities despite near-term market headwinds. James Hardie's significant material conversion opportunity and investments across the North American manufacturing footprint have positioned the Company well to capitalize as the market returns to growth and the long-term housing fundamentals play through. The Company is investing across the value chain and growing its contractor base to capture the repair & remodel opportunity. Similarly, in new construction, efforts to deepen exclusivity and increase trim attachment rates support growth and share gain with large homebuilders. In a clear demonstration of the appreciation for James Hardie's innovative product solutions and unrivaled business support, the Company continues to secure multi-year, national hard siding and trim exclusivity agreements, including with Beazer Homes in July. Net sales decreased (10%), or (8%) in Australian dollars, with an EBITDA margin of 35.4%, an increase of +140bps. For the segment, lower volumes, higher average net sales price and the increase in margins were each primarily attributable to the closure of the Philippines manufacturing operations in August 2024. Australia & New Zealand (ANZ) together saw volume and average net sales price each increase by low single-digits, leading to a mid-single digit increase in net sales in Australian dollars. ANZ EBITDA grew modestly and EBITDA margin was flat as the benefit from top-line growth and HOS savings were offset by increased investment in sales and marketing initiatives. In ANZ, the Company is driving growth through new customer acquisitions and project conversion enabled by customer collaboration. The Company is influencing how homeowners build, and driving growth through Co-Creation and leveraging the James Hardie brand. The teams are innovating to accelerate material conversion with a key focus on new construction, specifically the conversion of brick & masonry. Overall, while market demand remains challenged, the ANZ team is focused on finding further manufacturing efficiencies and driving HOS savings to underpin the segment's consistent profitability. Europe Building Products Net sales increased +7%, or +2% in Euros, driven by higher average net sales price partially offset by lower volumes, with Germany declining low single-digits and the UK growing mid-single digits. EBITDA margin increased +50bps to 16.0%, attributable to a higher average net sales price, as well as lower freight and raw material costs. Higher SG&A expense relates to increased investment in sales teams supporting growth strategies for high-value products. Markets across Europe remain challenged, particularly in Germany, the Company's largest European market, where improvement is anticipated to be more gradual. Growth in high-value products remains a strategic priority, as leveraging a broader and deeper product portfolio should accelerate share gains and customer wins. Therm25 TM fiber gypsum flooring continues to receive praise across the industry, most recently being recognized by Plus X Award across several categories, including innovation, quality and sustainability. The team has a solid plan to expand margins comprised of purposeful investment to drive operating leverage alongside sales growth and HOS savings from the optimization of our production footprint and freight management. Update to Reporting Segments As a result of the closing of The AZEK® Company (AZEK) acquisition on July 1, 2025, beginning with the second quarter of FY26, James Hardie expects to classify its business into four reportable segments: Siding & Trim, consisting of the legacy North America Fiber Cement segment and the acquired Exteriors business from AZEK Deck, Rail & Accessories, consisting of AZEK's Deck, Rail & Accessories business Australia & New Zealand, consisting of the legacy Asia Pacific Fiber Cement segment Europe, consisting of the legacy Europe Building Products segment Outlook FY26 Guidance Speaking to the Company's market outlook, Mr. Erter said, "Presently, demand in both repair & remodel and new construction in North America is challenging. Uncertainty is a common thread throughout conversations with customer and contractor partners. Homeowners are deferring large-ticket remodeling projects like re-siding, and affordability remains the key impediment to improvement in single-family new construction, where more recently, homebuilders are moderating their demand expectations and slowing starts to align their home inventory with a decelerating pace of traffic and sales. In May, we built into our full-year guidance an assumption that end market demand could decline by approximately mid-single digits, driven by expectations for further decline in repair & remodel. Over the course of the summer, single-family new construction activity has been weaker than anticipated and we have adjusted our expectations to account for softer demand. Furthermore, we believe it is prudent to plan for further inventory calibration by our channel partners into the back half of the calendar year. Amidst this dynamic, we are also conservatively expecting to benefit from recent homebuilder exclusivity wins and new product launches more so in FY27 and beyond, rather than in the back half of FY26 as previously planned." Mr. Erter continued, "The material conversion opportunity that lies ahead is substantial. Through our focused strategies and organic investments, we have bolstered our leadership position to benefit disproportionately as the industry continues to move away from installing wood and vinyl siding. Now, with the acquisition of AZEK, we have greatly expanded our overall material conversion opportunity, establishing a comprehensive offering of exterior home and outdoor living solutions that will drive sustained above-market growth over the long-term." Rachel Wilson, CFO, added with respect to financial guidance, "We continue to navigate a dynamic near-term environment while also remaining focused on scaling the organization and investing where we see returns to drive long-term profitable growth. For FY26, we are issuing guidance that now reflects three quarters of inorganic contribution from AZEK in addition to the organic James Hardie business. Note: All guidance includes a partial-year contribution from the AZEK acquisition which was incorporated into James Hardie results beginning at closing on July 1, 2025. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. FY26 Free Cash Flow guidance includes an estimated ~$315mm of incremental Interest Expense and Transaction & Integration costs related to the AZEK acquisition. Cash Flow, Capital Investment & Allocation Operating cash flow totaled $207 million for the first quarter of FY26, driven by net income, adjusted for non-cash items of $205 million and lower working capital of $84 million, partially offset by $29 million of asbestos claims and handling costs paid. Capital expenditures were $103 million. During Q1 FY26, the Company invested $25 million related to capacity expansion, primarily related to our new Prattville ColorPlus® facility and brownfield expansion of our fiber gypsum facility in Orejo, Spain, both of which are expected to be completed in Q2 FY26. For FY26, the Company estimates total capital expenditures will be approximately $400 million, which includes AZEK expenditures of approximately $75 million. During Q1 FY26, in anticipation of closing the AZEK transaction the Company used $291 million to repay its existing term loan and announced the successful syndication of new credit facilities including a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility and $2.5 billion senior secured Term Loan A, which reduced commitments under the Company's bridge facility at the time. In connection with issuing the new credit facilities, the Company also entered into a $1.0 billion interest rate swap to both increase interest rate certainty and lower interest expense. Also during the quarter, the Company successfully closed $1.7 billion of senior secured notes, with the proceeds placed into escrow. At the end of the quarter, the credit facilities were undrawn, the notes were included in long-term debt and the proceeds from the notes were accounted for in restricted cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet. Subsequent to the end of Q1 FY26, on July 1st the Company successfully completed its previously announced acquisition of AZEK. In connection with the closing of the transaction, the Company drew on its Term Loan A and used cash on hand and the proceeds from the senior secured notes to repay AZEK's outstanding debt and satisfy the cash consideration component of the transaction. To satisfy the stock component of the transaction, the company also issued 148.9 million shares of common stock to AZEK shareholders. The transaction increased total shares outstanding to approximately 580 million, and increased the company's long-term debt to approximately $5.1 billion, including $2.5 billion of Term Loan A, $1.7 billion of senior secured notes and $0.9 billion of other notes outstanding prior to the transaction. The Company did not draw on its revolving credit facility in connection with the closing of the transaction.

Cautionary Note and Use of Non-GAAP Measures This Earnings Release includes financial measures that are not considered a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), such as Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than the equivalent GAAP measure. Management has included such measures to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing its operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations and excludes the impact of certain legacy items, such as asbestos adjustments, or significant non-recurring items, such as asset impairments, restructuring expenses, acquisition and pre-close financing related costs, as well as adjustments to tax expense. Additionally, management uses such non-GAAP financial measures for the same purposes. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may not be reported by all of the Company's competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of the Company's competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. A reconciliation of these adjustments to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in this Earnings Release below. The Company is unable to forecast the comparable US GAAP financial measure for future periods due to, amongst other factors, uncertainty regarding the impact of actuarial estimates on asbestos-related assets and liabilities in future periods.
