(“CorpHousing,” “CHG”, or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CHG), which utilizes a long-term lease, asset-light business model to acquire and manage a growing portfolio of short-term rental properties in major metropolitan cities, today announced financial results for the second quarter (“Q2 2022”) and six months ended June 30, 2022. 2022 Second Quarter Financial Overview Compared to 2021 Second Quarter Net rental revenue rose 144% to $10.2 million from $4.2 million Gross profit improved to $2.9 million, or 28% of net rental revenue, from $0.1 million, or 3.5% of net rental revenue Income before provision for income taxes improved to $1.5 million from a loss of $(1.1) million Net income improved to $0.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, from a net loss of $(1.1) million EBITDA was $2.1 million compared to EBITDA of $(0.6) million 2022 Six Months Financial Overview Compared to 2021 Six Months Net rental revenue rose 158% to $19.3 million from $7.5 million Gross profit improved to $5.4 million, or 28% of net rental revenue, from a loss of $(0.4) million Income before provision for income taxes improved to $2.9 million from a loss of $(2.4) million Net income improved to $2.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, from a net loss of $(2.4) million EBITDA was $4.1 million compared to EBITDA of $(1.8) million Operational Highlights Generated gross proceeds of $13.5 million via Initial Public Offering (August 2022) Commenced trading on Nasdaq Capital Market (August 2022) For the six months ended June 30, 2022, managed 590 units under long-term lease Subsequent to June 30, 2022, CHG announced the signings of separate 15-year Master Lease Agreements (“MLA”) with two luxury hotels in New York City and an historic boutique hotel in New Orleans Inclusive of these new MLAs, CHG’s portfolio currently consists of 10 hotel properties in eight U.S. cities comprising 1,037 units Based on current MLA pipeline, CHG expects more than 1,200 units to be operational in 10 cities during Q4 2022 “We are excited to announce our Q2 results, which we believe reflect the success of our asset-light business model, the vibrancy of our target markers, and the opportunities inherent in our industry,” said Brian Ferdinand, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CorpHousing Group. “Q2 2022 net rental revenue increased by 144%, gross profit increased 19-fold, net income improved by $1.9 million, and EBITDA for the quarter was $2.1 million. Our available units for rent increased quarter over quarter, occupancy rates improved as the effects of COVID pandemic wane, and we realized certain efficiencies from scale. “We currently operate hotels under long-term lease agreements in Boston, Denver, Los Angeles, greater Miami, New York City, Washington, DC, and Seattle, and will commence operations in New Orleans in mid-October. We are in various stages of negotiation with a variety of potential partners that represent thousands of additional hotel units in destination locations across the United States and Europe. We believe that we are creating win-win opportunities by providing property owners the ability to create stable cash flow streams to maximize returns on their properties, which have been significantly impacted by restrictions on travel and leisure activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. CHG then markets these units under our customer facing LuxUrbanTM brand to increase occupancy rates and drive operational efficiencies, thus creating the opportunity to generate high margin, recurring and predictable revenue streams. Supported by a strengthened balance sheet and seasoned team of executives, we believe that are well positioned to advance our highly scalable, predictable, and profitable business model and look forward to our future with confidence.” Q2 2022 Overview Net rental revenue in Q2 2022 increased 144% to $10.2 million from $4.2 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 (“Q2 2021”), driven primarily by an increase in average units available to rent from 376 in Q2 2021 to 565 at Q2 2022, as well as better occupancy rates and average daily rates (“ADRs”) over this period. Cost of revenue, which includes rental expenses for available units to rent, rose to $7.3 million in Q2 2022 from $4.0 million in Q2 2021, due primarily to the increase in size of CHG’s rental unit portfolio, as well as related increases in furniture rentals, cleaning costs, cable / WIFI costs and credit card processing fees. Gross profit improved to $2.9 million, or 28% of net rental revenue, from $0.1 million, or 3.5% of net rental revenue. Higher gross profit and gross margin was primarily attributable to a reduction in the impact of COVID-19 on our operations, higher unit counts and better occupancy rates and ADRs. Total general and administrative expenses in Q2 2022 increased to $0.9 million, or 9% of net rental revenue, from $0.7 million, or 18% of net rental revenue, in Q2 2021, attributable to an increased number of units in operation. Income before provision for income taxes improved to $1.5 million from a loss of $(1.1) million, reflecting a significant increase in net rental revenue in Q2 2022 compared to Q2 2021 and the benefits of scale-driven operating efficiencies. Net income improved to $0.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(1.1) million. EBITDA rose to $2.1 million, or 21% of net rental revenue, in Q2 2022 compared to negative EBITDA of $(0.6) million.

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CorpHousing Group Inc. (“CorpHousing,” “CHG”, or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CHG), which utilizes a long-term lease, asset-light business model to acquire and manage a growing portfolio of short-term rental properties in major metropolitan cities, today announced it has acquired long-term rights for 217 units in downtown Manhattan in New York through a 15-year Master Lease Agreement (“MLA”) with one of the largest privately held real estate investment companies in the world. The 217 units associated with this luxury hotel is the first step in the Company’s post IPO scaling strategy and increases units by 34% bringing CHG’s total units under long-term lease to 853. CorpHousing plans to start operating this property during Q4 2022. The signing of this MLA follows similar recent agreements entered into by CHG with The Blakely Hotel (New York City), Marriott Herald Square Hotel (New York City), and Georgetown Suites Harbour (Washington, DC). CHG utilizes an asset-light business model and leverages the latest technology to cost-effectively identify, acquire, manage and market these units to business and vacation travelers, while providing its guests Heroic ServiceTM under the LuxUrbanTM brand. The new addition to the CHG Portfolio is a premier luxury hotel ideally located in downtown Manhattan. The property includes beautifully appointed rooms, a state-of-the-art fitness center, outdoor terrace, and rooftop that offers panoramic vistas of the New York City skyline. The Company will operate this hotel under its customer-facing hospitality brand, LuxUrban. Brian Ferdinand, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CorpHousing Group, stated, “We are proud to announce this latest Master Lease Agreement immediately following our IPO, continuing the shift in our strategy away from multi-family apartments in favor of leasing dislocated hotel properties in desirable urban locations. We are executing on a disciplined acquisition strategy through long-term lease agreements with thousands of high-quality hotel units currently under LOI with a variety of potential partners, which we expect to start closing in parallel with the execution of this MLA, which are designed to generate more favorable economics, asset-light operations, and higher long-term returns. Our approach provides property owners the ability to create stable cash flow streams to maximize returns on their properties, which have been significantly impacted by restrictions on travel and leisure activities due to the pandemic. By leveraging technology to increase occupancy rates and operational efficiency, we are generating high-margin, and what we believe are predictable, revenue streams. With eight hotels now in our portfolio, we expect the addition of this new luxury hotel will significantly expand our annualized net revenue while expanding our operating margins, which we believe will continue to grow over time as we further enhance the efficiency of our leased properties. We look forward to closing additional large-scale lease transactions in our pipeline over the coming months and beyond. Overall, we believe we have built a highly scalable and profitable business model to drive meaningful returns for our shareholders.” CorpHousing Group Inc.
