Comstock Homebuilding Companies, Inc.
Announces Purchase of Parker Chandler Homes
Acquisition Continues Company's Geographic Expansion Throughout
Southeast
RESTON, Va., Jan. 19 - Comstock Homebuilding Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq:
CHCI) ("Comstock" or the "Company") today announced the acquisition of Parker
Chandler Homes, Inc. ("Parker Chandler"), a rapidly growing private homebuilder
in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area for an undisclosed price. The
acquisition provides Comstock with additional geographic diversification and a
solid position in one of the strongest homebuilding markets in the Southeast,
adding approximately 1,600 lots (mostly single family detached lots) to the
Company's pipeline of land inventory.
Comstock will maintain the Parker Chandler brand in the markets where
Parker Chandler operates. The founding principals of Parker Chandler Homes,
James Parker and Andrew Chandler will join Comstock's management team. James
Parker has been named Regional President of the Mid-South Division and Andrew
Chandler was named Regional Vice President of Land Acquisition and Development
of the Mid-South Division. Headquartered in Forsyth, Georgia, Parker Chandler
currently operates in North Atlanta and has growing operations in Charlotte, N.C.
and Myrtle Beach, S.C. Parker Chandler builds mostly single family homes
focused on the $200,000 to $500,000 price range. The Parker Chandler
acquisition is projected to generate approximately $75 million in total revenue
for the Company in 2006.
Comstock reported that there was no common stock issued in connection
with the acquisition and it does not expect to record any goodwill in
connection with the transaction. Based on post-closing purchase accounting
adjustments in the carrying cost of the acquired assets to fair market value,
the acquisition is expected to be profitable in 2006 and is expected to
contribute positively to the Company's published estimates for 2006.
"We are extremely excited about this acquisition and we are thrilled to
have James Parker, Andrew Chandler and their team joining the Comstock team,"
said Christopher Clemente, Chairman and CEO. "Parker Chandler Homes' focus on
middle market products in strong homebuilding markets is well aligned with
Comstock's strategy vision for growth. James and Andrew have more than 30 years
combined experience building quality homes in the Atlanta marketplace. We
believe Atlanta is a good market with strong fundamentals to support continued
growth, and we are confident that Parker Chandler has a land presence in
Atlanta that is well aligned with market demand. Comstock will continue to
expand operations in the strongest markets in the Mid-Atlantic, Mid-South and
Southeast, and I hope to be in a position to announce additional strategic
acquisitions during the remainder of this year. This diversification strategy
will help balance the effects on our business from changing market conditions
in the Washington, D.C. market".
"We are excited to become a Comstock Homebuilding Company", said James
Parker, the President of Parker Chandler Homes. "The financial strength,
diverse range of product capabilities and entrepreneurial spirit of the
Comstock organization will help Parker Chandler Homes execute on our vision of
becoming a leading urban and suburban homebuilder in the Atlanta market and in
other strong markets in the southeast".
