Current report
Revenue decreased 10.2% in 2024. The $1.5 million comparative decrease was primarily driven by a $4.8 million decrease in incentive fees earned. A previously scheduled October 1, 2024 incentive fee trigger event date for seven specified managed portfolio assets was deferred. (See Note 12 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information). Partially offsetting the decrease was a $1.8 million, or 154%, increase in recurring, fee-based revenue from our property and parking management subsidiaries that was driven by the continued expansion of our managed portfolio, as well as a $1.1 million increase in supplemental lease termination fees.
Current report

The $0.7 million comparative increase was primarily driven by a $3.5 million, or 100%, increase in recurring, fee-based revenue from our property and parking management subsidiaries that was driven by the continued expansion of our managed portfolio. Also contributing to the increase was $1.1 million of additional supplemental lease termination fees and a $0.5 million increase in reimbursable staffing charges. Partially offsetting these increases was a $4.8 million decrease in incentive fees earned. A previously scheduled October 1, 2024 incentive fee trigger event date for seven specified managed portfolio assets was deferred.
