CCA REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS

INCREASES FULL YEAR 2016 & 2017 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – November 2, 2016 Corrections Corporation of America (NYSE: CXW) (the “Company” or “CCA”), which will be renamed “CoreCivic” for financial and public reporting purposes later in 2016 consistent with its announcement on October 28, 2016 to rebrand and rename the corporate enterprise, today published its financial results for the third quarter of 2016.

Third Quarter 2016 Highlights

 

    Revenue of $474.9 million increased 3.3%

 

    Diluted EPS of $0.47 increased 9.3%

 

    Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.49 increased 8.9%

 

    Normalized Funds From Operations per diluted share of $0.69 increased 7.8%

“I am very proud of the focus our team has maintained in delivering solid third quarter results while securing an important contract extension with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) at our South Texas Family Residential Center, and in executing a new contract to address an emergent need of ICE. We have worked diligently to provide dependable, professional service to our government partners,” said Damon Hininger, chief executive officer.

Hininger continued, “Solving the tough challenges facing government is at the core of our business, and the recently announced contract award with ICE at our 1,129-bed Cibola County Corrections Center is another great example of how we provide flexible, cost-effective solutions when our partners face an emergent need. The CoreCivic brand, announced in October, more appropriately reflects the range of solutions we can provide and the deep sense of service we feel in delivering for our government partners, providing us with a platform to continue to grow over the long-term where our partners want and need solutions.”

Third Quarter 2016 Results

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2016 was $474.9 million compared to $460.0 million in the third quarter of 2015. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the acquisition of 23 residential reentry facilities from the beginning of the third quarter of 2015 through the third quarter of 2016, and the activation of the newly constructed Trousdale Turner Correctional Center in the first quarter of 2016. Total revenue also increased due to higher average daily populations from ICE across multiple facilities in our owned and managed portfolio, primarily in Arizona and at our new Otay Mesa Detention Center in California. These increases in revenue were partially offset by a decline in California inmates held in our out-of-state facilities and the expiration of our managed-only contract with the state of Louisiana at the state-owned Winn Correctional Facility effective September 30, 2015.

Net income generated in the third quarter of 2016 totaled $55.3 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared with $50.7 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2015. Adjusted for special items, net income in the third quarter of 2016 was $57.2 million, or $0.49 per diluted share (Adjusted Diluted EPS), compared with $53.0 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2015. Special items in the third quarter of 2016 included corporate restructuring charges of $4.0 million, expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions of $0.1 million, and a $2.0 million gain on settlement of contingent consideration. The gain on settlement of contingent consideration, which was included in consolidated revenue, but reflected as a non-recurring special item excluded from our Adjusted and Normalized results, occurred upon the expiration of the period by which certain utilization milestones were to be achieved in connection with the acquisition of Avalon Correctional Services. Special items in the third quarter of 2015 included debt refinancing expenses and expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions, primarily related to the acquisition of Avalon.

Funds From Operations, or FFO, was $79.0 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2016, compared with $73.3 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2015. Normalized FFO was $80.9 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2016, compared with $75.6 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2015.

EBITDA was $116.8 million during the third quarter of 2016, compared with $106.3 million during the third quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA was $105.7 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared with $94.8 million during the third quarter of 2015.

Adjusted net income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO and their corresponding per share amounts, are measures calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Please refer to the Supplemental Financial Information and related note following the financial statements herein for further discussion and reconciliations of these measures to GAAP measures.

Business Development Update

Contract Award from ICE at the Cibola County Corrections Center. On October 31, 2016, we announced a new contract award to house up to 1,116 ICE detainees at our Cibola County Corrections Center in Milan, New Mexico. The contract contains an initial term of five years, with renewal options upon mutual agreement. CCA had previously housed inmates from the BOP at the Cibola County Corrections Center under a separate contract that expired on October 30, 2016.

South Texas Family Residential Center Contract Amendment and Extension. On October 17, 2016, we announced that ICE amended and extended its Intergovernmental Service Agreement (“IGSA”) with the City of Eloy, Arizona, for CCA’s leased and operated 2,400-bed South Texas Family Residential Center. The updated agreement provides for a new, lower fixed monthly payment commencing in November 2016, with a new term extending through September 2021. Concurrently, CCA and the third-party lessor of the South Texas Family Residential Center modified the lease agreement to reflect a reduced monthly lease expense effective in November 2016, with a new term concurrent with the IGSA.

Trousdale Turner Correctional Center Opening Update. Pursuant to an agreement with Trousdale County, Tennessee, CCA agreed to finance, design, construct, and operate a 2,552-bed facility to meet the responsibilities of a separate IGSA between Trousdale County and the state of Tennessee regarding correctional services. Construction of the 2,552-bed Trousdale Turner Correctional Center was completed during the fourth quarter of 2015 at a total cost of approximately $144.0 million. In January 2016, CCA began receiving inmates from the state of Tennessee. As of September 30, 2016, the ramp was completed and CCA housed approximately 2,500 inmates at the Trousdale Turner Correctional Center.

Red Rock Correctional Center Expansion Update. During the fourth quarter of 2015, CCA entered into a new contract with the state of Arizona to house up to an additional 1,000 state inmates at our 1,596-bed Red Rock Correctional Center. We previously provided housing for approximately 1,000 inmates at the Red Rock facility under a multi-year contract that commenced in 2014. Construction to expand the facility to 2,024 beds and to add additional space for inmate reentry programming is ongoing. The cost of the expansion is estimated to range from $37.0 million to $38.0 million, including $30.5 million invested through September 30, 2016. Construction is expected to be completed late in the fourth quarter of 2016, although we began receiving inmates under the new contract during July 2016. As of September 30, 2016, CCA housed approximately 1,400 inmates at the Red Rock Correctional Center.

2016 and 2017 Guidance

Based on our financial performance through the first nine months of the fiscal year and current business conditions, we have provided the following updated financial guidance for the fourth quarter 2016 and for the full year 2016 and 2017:

NOTE TO SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations (FFO), and Normalized FFO, and, where appropriate, their corresponding per share metrics are non-GAAP financial measures. CCA believes that these measures are important operating measures that supplement discussion and analysis of the Company’s results of operations and are used to review and assess operating performance of the Company and its correctional facilities and their management teams. CCA believes that it is useful to provide investors, lenders and security analysts disclosures of its results of operations on the same basis that is used by management. FFO, in particular, is a widely accepted non-GAAP supplemental measure of REIT performance, grounded in the standards for FFO established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT).


Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

Page 13

 

NAREIT defines FFO as net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate and impairment of depreciable real estate. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Normalized FFO are useful as supplemental measures of performance of the Company’s corrections facilities because they don’t take into account depreciation and amortization, or with respect to EBITDA, the impact of the Company’s tax provisions and financing strategies. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), this accounting presentation assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes at a level rate over time. Because of the unique structure, design and use of the Company’s properties, management believes that assessing performance of the Company’s properties without the impact of depreciation or amortization is useful. However, a portion of the rental payments for the South Texas Family Residential Center is classified as depreciation and interest expense for financial reporting purposes. Adjusted EBITDA includes such depreciation and interest expense in order to more properly reflect the cash flows associated with this lease. CCA may make adjustments to FFO from time to time for certain other income and expenses that it considers non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, even though such items may require cash settlement, because such items do not reflect a necessary component of the ongoing operations of the Company. Normalized FFO excludes the effects of such items. CCA calculates Adjusted Net Income by adding to GAAP Net Income expenses associated with the Company’s debt refinancing, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity, restructuring charges, and certain impairments that the Company believes are unusual or nonrecurring to provide an alternative measure of comparing operating performance for the periods presented. Even though expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions may be recurring, the magnitude and timing fluctuate based on the timing and scope of M&A activity, and therefore, such expenses, which are not a necessary component of the ongoing operations of the Company, may not be comparable from period to period.

Other companies may calculate Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO differently than the Company does, or adjust for other items, and therefore comparability may be limited. Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO and their corresponding per share measures are not measures of performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of the Company’s operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. This data should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Corrections Corporation of America Rebrands as CoreCivic

Marks Culmination of Multi-Year Strategy to Transform

into Diversified Government Solutions Company

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 28, 2016 — Corrections Corporation of America (NYSE:CXW) (the “Company”) today announced that it is rebranding its corporate enterprise as CoreCivic. Under the CoreCivic brand, the Company will provide three distinct business offerings: CoreCivic Safety, a national leader in high quality corrections and detention management; CoreCivic Properties, a wide range of innovative, cost-saving government real estate solutions; and, CoreCivic Community, a growing network of residential reentry centers to help tackle America’s recidivism crisis.

“Rebranding as CoreCivic is the culmination of a multi-year strategy to transform our business from largely corrections and detention services to a wider range of government solutions,” said Damon T. Hininger, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The CoreCivic name speaks to our ability to solve the tough challenges facing government at all levels and to the deep sense of service that we feel every day to help people.”

The CoreCivic Name: Solving Tough Government Problems; a Strong Sense of Service

Over the past several years, Hininger and his executive management team have spearheaded an aggressive strategy to diversify the Company’s business. This has included converting to a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), making unprecedented public commitments to expand reentry programs at correctional facilities, launching a comprehensive real estate solutions business, and investing nearly $250 million to acquire and build an expanding network of residential reentry and community corrections facilities.

“We’ve listened closely to our employees, partners and investors, and there’s a strong recognition and appreciation for what we’ve built over more than 30 years,” said Hininger. “At the same time, we know we can do even more to serve the needs of our government partners and the greater public good. CoreCivic reflects the company we are today and provides us with a platform to continue to grow where our partners want and need solutions.”

The Company’s specific rebranding effort began when it decided to launch a new, dedicated real estate solutions business in mid-2015. As the Company


continued to acquire residential reentry businesses, the effort rapidly evolved into considering an enterprise-wide name change. After an intense research, brand strategy and creative process, the Board of Directors authorized changing the Company’s charter to reflect the CoreCivic name on August 11, 2016, which the Company intends to be legally effected by year-end. The name change will not affect the rights of the Company’s stockholders and the Company’s common stock ticker symbol on the New York Stock Exchange will remain unchanged.

“The management team has successfully executed a well-planned strategy to diversify the business, and rebranding became a natural evolution of that process,” said Mark A. Emkes, Non-Executive Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. “We’re excited about the potential for the CoreCivic brand to accelerate the Company’s growth and value-creation in new areas. We also believe the new brand will help galvanize our efforts to play an even bigger role in making a positive difference in our communities and individual lives.”

CoreCivic’s Visual Identity: Innovation, Public Service and Professionalism

As part of the rebranding, the Company has also adopted a new visual identity. This includes a bolder, sleeker and more modern typeface, as well as a color palette intended to evoke attributes such as safety, strength, passion, stability, integrity and seriousness. The brand’s symbol, a 13-stripe American flag stylized to also represent a building, speaks to the Company’s commitment to public service, the professionalism of its employees and its expanding government real estate focus. There’s also a nod to the Company’s heritage with the right side of the symbol angled at 19.83°, representing the year that the Company was founded, and the left side of the symbol angled at 20.16° to mark the year the Company rebranded as CoreCivic.

“Our government partners value the dependability and professionalism of our people, and our people share a deep sense of service with our government partners,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer Tony Grande. “Our new name and identity speak emotionally to our strengths while expanding the scope of solutions that we can offer our partners. We’re excited about the work ahead to build and realize our new brand’s full potential.”

In the coming months, the Company will begin converting its facilities and other assets to the new visual identity, which will amount to a modest expense spread out over several quarters. The Company does not anticipate any impact of the rebranding on its contractual relationships with government partners.

“Government has core responsibilities that are vital for safe, healthy and thriving communities. But in our increasingly complex and budget-constrained world, performing these basic functions is becoming harder to do,” added Hininger. “For more than three decades, our company has been an innovative, dependable partner for government. As CoreCivic, we will continue to bring the scale, experience and professionalism needed to solve problems for our partners and serve the greater public good.”
