CoreCivic Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Increases Share Buyback authorization
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Aug. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CoreCivic, Inc. (NYSE: CXW) (the Company) announced today its financial results for the second quarter of 2022 and provided an update on several significant transactions, including an increase in its share buyback program.
Damon T. Hininger, CoreCivic's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased to have entered into an agreement during the second quarter to sell our 1,978-bed McRae Correctional Facility for a sale price of $130.0 million. This sale, which is expected to close later in the third quarter, will result in a gain on sale of $75.0 million to $80.0 million. The sale price represents approximately $66,000 per bed which, when used to approximate the value of our over 70,000 company-owned correctional beds, indicates a real estate value in excess of $4 billion, demonstrating the value of our portfolio. Monetizing this asset will generate additional liquidity, which we can use for general corporate purposes, including for our share repurchase program, which our board just increased to $225.0 million, and/or for additional debt reduction.
Hininger continued, “Our second quarter operations were affected by short-term earnings disruptions from transitioning populations at our La Palma Correctional Center in Arizona from an ICE population to an Arizona population, as a result of the previously announced state contract award, and a challenging labor market. Despite the short-term earnings disruption at the La Palma facility that we expect to normalize in the first quarter of 2023, we continue to make great strides in improving the position of our balance sheet, and we were able to begin returning capital to shareholders through our share repurchase authorization. We are pleased with our operational and financial performance and are confident in the long-term outlook for returning to earnings growth."

- Total revenue of $456.7 million
- CoreCivic Safety revenue of $416.4 million
- CoreCivic Community revenue of $25.8 million
- CoreCivic Properties revenue of $14.5 million
- Net Income of $10.6 million
- Diluted earnings per share of $0.09
- Adjusted diluted EPS of $0.13
- Funds From Operations per diluted share of $0.28
- Normalized Funds From Operations per diluted share of $0.34
- Adjusted EBITDA of $78.8 million
Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results Compared With Second Quarter 2021
Net income in the second quarter of 2022 totaled $10.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with net income in the second quarter of 2021 of $15.6 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. Adjusted for special items, adjusted net income in the second quarter of 2022 was $16.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted share (Adjusted Diluted EPS), compared with adjusted net income in the second quarter of 2021 of $31.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted share. Special items for each period are presented in detail in the calculation of Adjusted Diluted EPS in the Supplemental Financial Information following the financial statements presented herein. The decline in adjusted per share amounts was primarily the result of transitioning to a new contract with the state of Arizona at our 3,060-bed La Palma Correctional Center in Arizona, the non-renewal of contracts in 2021 with the United States Marshals Service (USMS) at the 1,033-bed Leavenworth Detention Center in Kansas and the 600-bed West Tennessee Detention Facility, and the expiration of a managed-only contract with Marion County, Indiana at the Marion County Jail, which the County replaced with a newly constructed facility. We have two remaining direct contracts with the USMS expiring in 2023 and 2025, and we will work with the USMS to enable it to continue to fulfill its mission. Our renewal rate on owned and controlled facilities remained high at 95% over the previous five years. We believe our renewal rate on existing contracts remains high due to a variety of reasons including the aged and constrained supply of available beds within the U.S. correctional system, our ownership of the majority of the beds we operate, and the cost effectiveness of the services we provide.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $71.1 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared with $82.1 million in the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA was $78.8 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared with $101.7 million in the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA decreased from the prior year quarter primarily due to the sale of five non-core properties in our Properties segment and two under-utilized facilities in our Community segment, which generated $4.4 million in Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2021, the aforementioned transition of offender populations at our La Palma Correctional Center, which resulted in a reduction in EBITDA of $10.8 million, and the aforementioned non-renewal of contracts at three facilities that collectively resulted in a reduction in EBITDA of $4.5 million from the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022.
Funds From Operations (FFO) was $34.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $11.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021. Normalized FFO, which excludes special items, was $40.7 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022, compared with $56.0 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021. Normalized FFO was negatively impacted by the same factors that affected Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO, and, where appropriate, 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 net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
New Bank Credit Facility
On May 12, 2022, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (New Bank Credit Facility) in an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million, consisting of a $100.0 million Term Loan A and a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $250.0 million, which remains undrawn. The New Bank Credit Facility matures in May 2026 and replaced an existing facility (Previous Bank Credit Facility), which was scheduled to expire in April 2023. The interest rates applicable to the New Bank Credit Facility are tiered based on the then-current total leverage ratio. Based on our current total leverage ratio, loans under the New Bank Credit Facility currently bear interest at a base rate plus a margin of 2.25% or at the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (BSBY) rate plus a margin of 3.25%. In connection with obtaining the New Bank Credit Facility, we paid-down the previous Term Loan A by $67.5 million, and recorded a charge of $0.8 million for the write-off of deferred loan costs associated with the Previous Bank Credit Facility.
Additional Debt Repayments
On May 19, 2022, we announced we voluntarily repaid the remaining $124.1 million outstanding principal balance under our Term Loan B, and satisfied all of our outstanding debt obligations under the agreement. We did not incur any prepayment penalties in connection with the repayment of the Term Loan B, which had a scheduled maturity of December 18, 2024. In connection with the prepayment, we recorded a charge of $6.0 million for the write-off of deferred loan costs, original issue discount and fees and expenses associated with the prepayment of the Term Loan B. The prepayment was made in full with cash on hand.
During the second quarter of 2022, we also purchased an additional $3.6 million of our 4.625% Senior Notes at a weighted average price approximately equal to par in open market purchases, reducing the outstanding balance of the 4.625% Senior Notes to $170.1 million.
Share Repurchases
On August 2, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in our share repurchase program of up to an additional $75.0 million in shares of our common stock. As a result of the increased authorization, the aggregate authorization under our share repurchase program increased from the original authorization of up to $150.0 million in shares of our common stock to up to $225.0 million shares of our common stock. Since May 16, 2022 through August 1, 2022, we have repurchased 4.2 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $50.6 million, excluding fees, commissions and other costs related to repurchases.
We currently have approximately $174.4 million remaining under the Board authorized share repurchase plan. Additional repurchases of common stock will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made at management’s discretion within parameters set by the Board of Directors from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The share repurchase program has no time limit and does not obligate us to purchase any particular amount of our common stock. The authorization for the share repurchase program may be terminated, suspended, increased or decreased by our Board in its discretion at any time.
Business Updates
Asset Sales. On July 25, 2022, we entered into a Purchase & Sale Agreement with the Georgia Building Authority to purchase our 1,978-bed McRae Correctional Facility in McRae, Georgia for a price of $130.0 million. We currently have a management contract with the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) at the McRae Facility, which expires November 30, 2022. As previously disclosed, we do not expect the contract at the McRae facility to be renewed upon its expiration. We also entered into an agreement to lease the McRae facility from the Georgia Building Authority through November 30, 2022. We expect the sale, which is subject to customary closing conditions, to be completed during the third quarter of 2022. On July 19, 2022, we completed the sale of our Stockton Female Community Corrections Facility and our Long Beach Community Corrections Center, both located in California, to a third-party that resulted in net sales proceeds of $10.9 million. On July 20, 2022, we also completed the sale of an undeveloped parcel of land in California that resulted in net sales proceeds of $4.8 million.
We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sales for general corporate purposes, which may include making repurchases under our share repurchase plan and/or reducing our outstanding indebtedness.
CoreCivic Safety and Community Contract Renewals. During the second quarter of 2022, we successfully renewed contracts with multiple government partners:
- A local government agency exercised a two-year renewal option at our 2,672-bed Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility in Tutwiler, Mississippi, that allows the USMS to continue utilizing available capacity, extending the contract until June 30, 2024. This contract also has an indefinite number of two-year renewal options.
- The BOP provided notice of its intent to renew our contract for residential reentry and home confinement services at our 60-bed South Raleigh Reentry Center in Raleigh, North Carolina.
- The BOP provided notice of its intent to renew our contract for residential reentry and home confinement services at our 84-bed James River Residential Reentry Center and 36-bed Ghent Residential Reentry Center in the State of Virginia.
- The Colorado Department of Public Safety notified us of its intent to award a contract to provide intensive residential treatment and sex offender supervision and treatment services across five of our residential reentry facilities located in the state.
- The City of Mesa, Arizona renewed our contract to house approximately 120 inmates at our 4,128-bed Central Arizona Florence Correctional Complex in Florence, Arizona.
2022 Financial Guidance
Based on current business conditions, the Company is providing the following update to its financial guidance for the full year 2022:
| Guidance Full Year 2022 | Prior Guidance Full Year 2022 | |
| $106.6 million - $118.2 million | $77.1 million - $94.4 million |
| $52.0 million - $60.0 million | $75.5 million - $92.8 million |
| $0.89 - $0.99 | $0.64 - $0.79 |
| $0.44 - $0.50 | $0.63 - $0.77 |
| $1.19 - $1.26 | $1.45 - $1.60 |
| $1.25 - $1.32 | $1.45 - $1.60 |
| $375.2 million - $386.2 million | $336.1 million - $351.4 million |
| $299.0 million - $305.0 million | $333.9 million - $349.1 million |
Our updated 2022 guidance reflects a delay in the reversal of Title 42, a public health order that has been used since March 2020 to deny entry at the United States southern border to asylum-seekers and anyone crossing the southern border without proper documentation or authority in an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19. On April 1, 2022, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention terminated Title 42 with an effective date of May 23, 2022. However, on April 25, 2022, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking its termination, and on May 20, 2022, ruled that the administration violated administrative law when it announced that it planned to cease Title 42. That ruling is under appeal with a decision unlikely before the first quarter of 2023. The termination of Title 42 is expected to result in an increase in the number of undocumented people permitted into the United States to claim asylum, and could result in an increase in the number of people apprehended and detained by ICE, our largest government customer. However, it is difficult to predict when Title 42 will be terminated. Our prior guidance anticipated higher occupancy levels from ICE from the potential termination of Title 42, which is no longer contemplated in our current guidance.
Our updated 2022 guidance also reflects a larger earnings disruption at our La Palma Correctional Center than previously estimated. During the second quarter of 2022, we agreed with the state of Arizona to extend the transition period from the fourth quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2023. However, we still expect the final ICE detainees to be transferred out of the La Palma facility during the third quarter of 2022. Our 2022 guidance also reflects the continuation of a challenging labor market, including above average wage inflation.
During 2022, we expect to invest $79.5 million to $84.0 million in capital expenditures, consisting of $33.5 million to $34.0 million in maintenance capital expenditures on real estate assets, $30.0 million to $32.0 million for capital expenditures on other assets and information technology, and $16.0 million to $18.0 million for facility renovations.

NOTE TO SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO, and, where appropriate, their corresponding per share metrics are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company 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 properties and their management teams. The Company 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 performance of real estate companies, grounded in the standards for FFO established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). NAREIT defines FFO as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate and impairment of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Normalized FFO are useful as supplemental measures of performance of the Company's properties because such measures do not 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. The Company 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 or ordinary component of the ongoing operations of the Company. Normalized FFO excludes the effects of such items. The Company calculates Adjusted Net Income by adding to GAAP Net Income expenses associated with the Company’s debt repayments and refinancing transactions, and certain impairments and other charges that the Company believes are unusual or non-recurring to provide an alternative measure of comparing operating performance for the periods presented.
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, where appropriate, 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.
