CORECIVIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 2019
|
1. |
ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS |
CoreCivic, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company" or "CoreCivic") is the nation's largest owner of partnership correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities and one of the largest prison operators in the United States. The Company also believes it is the largest private owner of real estate used by U.S. government agencies. Through
In addition to providing fundamental residential services, CoreCivic's correctional, detention, and reentry facilities offer a variety of rehabilitation and educational programs, including basic education, faith-based services, life skills and employment training, and substance abuse treatment. These services are intended to help reduce recidivism and to prepare offenders for their successful reentry into society upon their release. CoreCivic also provides or makes available to offenders certain health care (including medical, dental, and mental health services), food services, and work and recreational programs.
CoreCivic began operating as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") effective January 1, 2013. The Company provides services and conducts other business activities through taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"). A TRS is a subsidiary of a REIT that is subject to applicable corporate income tax and certain qualification requirements. The Company's use of TRSs permits CoreCivic to engage in certain business activities in which the REIT may not engage directly, so long as these activities are conducted in entities that elect to be treated as TRSs under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and enable CoreCivic to, among other things, provide correctional services at facilities it owns and at facilities owned by its government partners. A TRS is not subject to the distribution requirements applicable to REITs so it may retain income generated by its operations for reinvestment.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for the unaudited interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year. Reference is made to the audited financial statements of CoreCivic included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 25, 2019 (the "2018 Form 10-K") with respect to certain significant accounting and financial reporting policies as well as other pertinent information of the Company.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated balance sheets in 2018 to conform to the current year presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Lease Adoption
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)", which requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current accounting requirements. ASU 2016-02 also eliminates current real estate-specific provisions for all entities. For lessors, the ASU modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. For finance leases and operating leases, a lessee should recognize on the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use ("ROU") asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, with each initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. For public reporting entities such as CoreCivic, guidance in ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption of the ASU is permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, "Targeted Improvements – Leases (Topic
6
842)", which permits entities to adopt a new transition method whereby the modified retrospective transition method would allow companies to recognize the cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption rather than the earliest period presented and continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 840, "Leases", in the comparative periods presented. Further, ASU 2018-11 also allows entities to elect, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components when certain criteria are met. Adoption results in an increase in long-term assets and liabilities for leases where the Company is the lessee.
CoreCivic adopted ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11, cumulatively ("ASC 842"), on January 1, 2019. The Company elected the modified retrospective transition method and recognized the cumulative-effect adjustment resulting from adoption of ASC 842 in the first quarter of 2019. CoreCivic also elected to adopt the package of available practical expedients that permits lessees and lessors to not reassess certain items, including whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, lease classification of any expired or existing leases, and initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. In addition, the Company made an accounting policy election to apply the "short-term lease exception" permitted by ASC 842 for all classes of underlying assets. With the exception of the South Texas Family Residential Center lease, as further described hereafter, the Company also elected the practical expedient that permits lessees to make an accounting policy election to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component. Prior to the adoption of ASC 842, a portion of the rental payments for the South Texas Family Residential Center was classified as depreciation and interest expense in accordance with ASC 840-40-55, formerly Emerging Issues Task Force No. 97-10, "The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction." Upon adoption of ASC 842, all rental payments associated with this lease are classified as operating expenses.
Upon adoption of ASC 842, CoreCivic recognized a ROU asset and a lease liability of $

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Other
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016 13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which will change how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The ASU will replace the current "incurred loss" approach with an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, contract assets, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking "expected loss" model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of this ASU to determine the potential impact on its financial statements, however the Company does not currently expect the new standard will have a material impact on its financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the SEC did not, or are not expected to, have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
To meet the reporting requirements of ASC 825, "Financial Instruments", regarding fair value of financial instruments, CoreCivic calculates the estimated fair value of financial instruments using market interest rates, quoted market prices of similar instruments, or discounted cash flow techniques with observable Level 1 inputs for publicly traded debt and Level 2 inputs for all other financial instruments, as defined in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement".

GOODWILL |
ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test of Goodwill Impairment", establishes accounting and reporting requirements for goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill was $
Under the provisions of ASU 2017-04, CoreCivic performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If a quantitative test is required, CoreCivic performs an assessment to identify the existence of impairment and to measure the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value by using a combination of various common valuation techniques, including market multiples and discounted cash flows. These impairment tests are required to be performed at least annually. CoreCivic performs its impairment tests during the fourth quarter, in connection with its annual budgeting process and whenever circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable.

CoreCivic considers the cancellation of a contract as an indicator of impairment and tested each of the idled facilities for impairment when it was notified by the respective customers that they would no longer be utilizing such facility. CoreCivic updates the impairment analyses on an annual basis for each of the idled facilities and evaluates on a quarterly basis market developments for the potential utilization of each of these facilities in order to identify events that may cause CoreCivic to reconsider its most recent assumptions. As a result of CoreCivic's analyses, CoreCivic determined each of the idled facilities to have recoverable values in excess of the corresponding carrying values.

Stock Options
Since 2012, CoreCivic has elected not to issue stock options to its non-employee directors, officers, and executive officers as it had in prior years, and instead elected to issue all of its equity compensation in the form of restricted common stock units ("RSUs"), as described hereafter. All outstanding stock options were fully vested as of December 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2019, options to purchase

EARNINGS PER SHARE |
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. For CoreCivic, diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares after considering the additional dilution related to restricted share grants and stock options.
A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted earnings per share computation is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Legal Proceedings
The nature of CoreCivic's business results in claims and litigation alleging that it is liable for damages arising from the conduct of its employees, offenders or others. The nature of such claims includes, but is not limited to, claims arising from employee or offender misconduct, medical malpractice, employment matters, property loss, contractual claims, including claims regarding compliance with contract performance requirements, and personal injury or other damages resulting from contact with CoreCivic's facilities, personnel or offenders, including damages arising from an offender's escape or from a disturbance at a facility. CoreCivic maintains insurance to cover many of these claims, which may mitigate the risk that any single claim would have a material effect on CoreCivic's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, provided the claim is one for which coverage is available. The combination of self-insured retentions and deductible amounts means that, in the aggregate, CoreCivic is subject to substantial self-insurance risk.
15
CoreCivic records litigation reserves related to certain matters for which it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the range of such loss can be estimated. Based upon management's review of the potential claims and outstanding litigation, and based upon management's experience and history of estimating losses, and taking into consideration CoreCivic's self-insured retention amounts, management believes a loss in excess of amounts already recognized would not be material to CoreCivic's financial statements. In the opinion of management, there are no pending legal proceedings that would have a material effect on CoreCivic's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Any receivable for insurance recoveries is recorded separately from the corresponding litigation reserve, and only if recovery is determined to be probable. Adversarial proceedings and litigation are, however, subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable decisions and rulings resulting from legal proceedings could occur which could have a material adverse impact on CoreCivic's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for the period in which such decisions or rulings occur, or future periods. Expenses associated with legal proceedings may also fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on changes in CoreCivic's assumptions, new developments, or by the effectiveness of CoreCivic's litigation and settlement strategies.

INCOME TAXES |
As discussed in Note 1, the Company began operating in compliance with REIT requirements for federal income tax purposes effective January 1, 2013. As a REIT, the Company must distribute at least
Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 740, "Income Taxes". ASC 740 generally requires CoreCivic to record deferred income taxes for the tax effect of differences between book and tax bases of its assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes reflect the available net operating losses and the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Realization of the future tax benefits related to deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including CoreCivic's past earnings history, expected future earnings, the character and jurisdiction of such earnings, unsettled circumstances that, if unfavorably resolved, would adversely affect utilization of its deferred tax assets, carryback and carryforward periods, and tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of realization of a deferred tax asset.
CoreCivic recorded an income tax expense of $

Income Tax Contingencies
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance prescribed in ASC 740 establishes a recognition threshold of more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. The measurement attribute requires that a tax position be measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

ITEM 2. |
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we use the terms, the "Company," "CoreCivic," "we," "us," and "our" to refer to CoreCivic, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless context indicates otherwise.
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains statements as to our beliefs and expectations of the outcome of future events that are forward-looking statements as defined within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. All statements other than statements of current or historical fact contained herein, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans, and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "projects," "will," and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. These include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties associated with:
|
|
• |
general economic and market conditions, including, but not limited to, the impact governmental budgets can have on our contract renewals and renegotiations, per diem rates, and occupancy; |
|
|
• |
fluctuations in our operating results because of, among other things, changes in occupancy levels, competition, contract renegotiations or terminations, increases in costs of operations, fluctuations in interest rates, and risks of operations; |
|
|
• |
changes in the privatization of the corrections and detention industry, the public acceptance of our services, the timing of the opening of new facilities, and the commencement of new management contracts, as well as our ability to utilize current available beds; |
|
|
• |
our ability to obtain and maintain correctional, detention, and residential reentry facility management contracts because of reasons including, but not limited to, sufficient governmental appropriations, contract compliance, negative publicity and effects of inmate disturbances; |
|
|
• |
increases in costs to develop or expand real estate properties that exceed original estimates, or the inability to complete such projects on schedule as a result of various factors, many of which are beyond our control, such as weather, labor conditions, cost inflation, and material shortages, resulting in increased construction costs; |
|
|
• |
changes in government policy, legislation and regulations that affect utilization of the private sector for corrections, detention, and residential reentry services, in general, or our business, in particular, including, but not limited to, the continued utilization of the South Texas Family Residential Center by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, under terms of the current contract, and the impact of any changes to immigration reform and sentencing laws. (Our company does not, under longstanding policy, lobby for or against policies or legislation that would determine the basis for, or duration of, an individual's incarceration or detention.); |
|
|

OVERVIEW
The Company
We are a diversified government solutions company with the scale and experience needed to solve tough government challenges in flexible, cost-effective ways. Through three segments, CoreCivic Safety, CoreCivic Community, and CoreCivic Properties, we provide a broad range of solutions to government partners that serve the public good through corrections and detention management, a growing network of residential reentry centers to help address America's recidivism crisis, and government real estate solutions. We have been a flexible and dependable partner for government for more than 35 years. Our employees are driven by a deep sense of service, high standards of professionalism and a responsibility to help government better the public good.
Structured as a REIT, we are the nation's largest owner of partnership correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities and one of the largest prison operators in the United States. We also believe we are the largest private owner of real estate used by U.S. government agencies. As of March 31, 2019, through our CoreCivic Safety segment, we operated 51 correctional and detention facilities, 44 of which we owned, with a total design capacity of approximately 73,000 beds. Through our CoreCivic Community segment, we owned and operated 27 residential reentry centers with a total design capacity of approximately 5,000 beds. In addition, through our CoreCivic Properties segment, we owned 27 properties leased to third parties and used by government agencies, totaling 2.3 million square feet.
In addition to providing fundamental residential services, our correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities offer a variety of rehabilitation and educational programs, including basic education, faith-based services, life skills and employment training, and substance abuse treatment. These services are intended to help reduce recidivism and to prepare offenders for their successful reentry into society upon their release. We also provide or make available to offenders certain health care (including medical, dental, and mental health services), food services, and work and recreational programs.
We are a Maryland corporation formed in 1983. Our principal executive offices are located at 10 Burton Hills Boulevard, Nashville, Tennessee, 37215, and our telephone number at that location is (615) 263-3000. Our website address is www.corecivic.com. We make our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, definitive proxy statements, and amendments to those reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, available on our website, free of charge, as soon as reasonably practicable after these reports are filed with or furnished to the SEC. Information contained on our website is not part of this report.
We began operating as a REIT effective January 1, 2013. We provide services and conduct other business activities through taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs. A TRS is a subsidiary of a REIT that is subject to applicable corporate income tax and certain qualification requirements. Our use of TRSs enables us to comply with REIT qualification requirements while providing correctional services at facilities we own and at facilities owned by our government partners and to engage in certain other business operations. A TRS is not subject to the distribution requirements applicable to REITs so it may retain income generated by its operations for reinvestment.
As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income taxes on our REIT taxable income and gains that we distribute to our stockholders, including the income derived from our real estate and dividends we earn from our TRSs. However, our TRSs will be required to pay income taxes on their earnings at regular corporate income tax rates.
As a REIT, we generally are required to distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains). Our REIT taxable income will not typically include income earned by our TRSs except to the extent our TRSs pay dividends to the REIT.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements in this report are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. A summary of our significant accounting policies is described in our 2018 Form 10-K. The significant accounting policies and estimates which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:
Asset impairments. The primary risk we face for asset impairment charges, excluding goodwill, is associated with correctional facilities we own. As of March 31, 2019, we had $2.8 billion in property and equipment, including $232.9 million in long-lived assets, excluding equipment, at eight idled correctional facilities. The impairment analyses we performed for each of these facilities excluded the net book value of equipment, as a substantial portion of the equipment is easily transferrable to other company-owned facilities without significant cost. The carrying values of the eight idled facilities as of March 31, 2019 were as follows (in thousands):

$ |

|
We also have two idled non-core facilities containing an aggregate of 440 beds with an aggregate net book value of $3.7 million. We incurred operating expenses at the idled facilities of approximately $3.1 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying values of our long-lived assets, other than goodwill, when events suggest that an impairment may have occurred. Such events primarily include, but are not limited to, the termination of a management contract or a significant decrease in offender populations within a facility we own. Accordingly, we tested each of the idled facilities for impairment when we were notified by the respective customers that they would no longer be utilizing such facility.
We re-perform the impairment analyses on an annual basis for each of the idle facilities and evaluate on a quarterly basis market developments for the potential utilization of each of these facilities in order to identify events that may cause us to reconsider our most recent assumptions. Such events could include negotiations with a prospective customer for the utilization of an idle facility at terms significantly less favorable than those used in our most recent impairment analysis, or changes in legislation surrounding a particular facility that could impact our ability to care for certain types of offenders at such facility, or a demolition or substantial renovation of a facility. Further, a substantial increase in the number of available beds at other facilities we own could lead to a deterioration in market conditions and cash flows that we might be able to obtain under a new management contract at our idle facilities. Although they are not frequently received, an unsolicited offer to purchase any of our idle facilities at amounts that are less than the carrying value could also cause us to reconsider the assumptions used in our most recent impairment analysis.
Our impairment evaluations also take into consideration our historical experience in securing new management contracts to utilize facilities that had been previously idled for substantial periods of time. Such previously idled facilities are currently being operated under contracts that continue to generate cash flows resulting in the recoverability of the net book value of the previously idled facilities by material amounts. Due to a variety of factors, the lead time to negotiate contracts with our federal and state partners to utilize idle bed capacity is generally lengthy. As a result of our analyses, we determined each of the idled facilities to have recoverable values in excess of the corresponding carrying values. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to secure agreements to utilize our idle facilities, or that we will not incur impairment charges in the future.
26
By their nature, these estimates contain uncertainties with respect to the extent and timing of the respective cash flows due to potential delays or material changes to historical terms and conditions in contracts with prospective customers that could impact the estimate of cash flows. Notwithstanding our customers' fluctuating demand for bed capacity which led to our decision to idle certain facilities, we believe the long-term trends favor an increase in the utilization of our correctional facilities and management services. This belief is based on our experience in working with governmental agencies faced with significant budgetary challenges, which is a primary contributing factor to the lack of appropriated funding since 2009 to build new bed capacity by the federal and state governments with which we partner.
Goodwill Impairments – As of March 31, 2019, we had $48.2 million of goodwill, established in connection with multiple business combination transactions. We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill annually, in connection with our annual budgeting process, and whenever circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Under the provisions of Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2017-04, "Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test of Goodwill Impairment", we perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If a quantitative test is required, we perform an assessment to identify the existence of impairment and to measure the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value by using a combination of various common valuation techniques, including market multiples and discounted cash flows. By their nature, valuation techniques are subject to considerable judgment and require estimates of future cash flows as well as other factors, which are often difficult to predict. Estimated fair values could change if there are changes in our capital structure, cost of debt, interest rates, capital expenditure levels, operating cash flows, or market capitalization. Accordingly, we may incur goodwill impairment charges in the future.
Self-funded insurance reserves. As of March 31, 2019, we had $34.9 million in accrued liabilities for employee health, workers' compensation, and automobile insurance claims. We are significantly self-insured for employee health, workers' compensation, and automobile liability insurance claims. As such, our insurance expense is largely dependent on claims experience and our ability to control our claims. We have consistently accrued the estimated liability for employee health insurance claims based on our history of claims experience and the estimated time lag between the incident date and the date we pay the claims. We have accrued the estimated liability for workers' compensation claims based on an actuarial valuation of the outstanding liabilities, discounted to the net present value of the outstanding liabilities, using a combination of actuarial methods used to project ultimate losses, and our automobile insurance claims based on estimated development factors on claims incurred. The liability for employee health, workers' compensation, and automobile insurance includes estimates for both claims incurred and for claims incurred but not reported. These estimates could change in the future. It is possible that future cash flows and results of operations could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions, new developments, or by the effectiveness of our strategies.
Legal reserves. As of March 31, 2019, we had $13.7 million in accrued liabilities under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 450-20, "Loss Contingencies," or ASC 450, related to certain claims and legal proceedings in which we are involved. We have accrued our best estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims and legal proceedings. In addition, we are subject to current and potential future claims and legal proceedings for which little or no accrual has been reflected because our current assessment of the potential exposure is nominal. These estimates have been developed in consultation with our General Counsel's office and, as appropriate, outside counsel handling these matters, and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible that future cash flows and results of operations could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions, new developments, or by the effectiveness of our litigation and settlement strategies.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
Net income was $49.3 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with net income of $37.8 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Our Current Operations
Our ongoing operations are organized into three principal business segments:
|
|
• |
CoreCivic Safety segment, consisting of the 51 correctional and detention facilities that are owned, or controlled via a long-term lease, and managed by CoreCivic, as well as those correctional and detention facilities owned by third parties but managed by CoreCivic. CoreCivic Safety also includes the operating results of our subsidiary that provides transportation services to governmental agencies, TransCor America, LLC, or TransCor. |
|
|
• |
CoreCivic Community segment, consisting of the 27 residential reentry centers that are owned, or controlled via a long-term lease, and managed by CoreCivic. CoreCivic Community also includes the operating results of our electronic monitoring and case management subsidiaries, Rocky Mountain Offender Management Systems, LLC, or RMOMS, and Recovery Monitoring Solutions Corporation, or RMSC. |
|
|
• |
CoreCivic Properties segment, consisting of the 27 real estate properties owned by CoreCivic and leased to, and operated by, third parties. |
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, our total facility net operating income was divided among these business segments as follows:

Facility Operations
A key performance indicator we use to measure the revenue and expenses associated with the operation of the correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities we own or manage is expressed in terms of a compensated man-day, which represents the revenue we
28
generate and expenses we incur for one offender for one calendar day. Revenue and expenses per compensated man-day are computed by dividing facility revenue and expenses by the total number of compensated man-days during the period. A compensated man-day represents a calendar day for which we are paid for the occupancy of an offender. We believe the measurement is useful because we are compensated for operating and managing facilities at an offender per-diem rate based upon actual or minimum guaranteed occupancy levels. We also measure our costs on a per-compensated man-day basis, which is largely dependent upon the number of offenders we accommodate. Further, per compensated man-day measurements are also used to estimate our potential profitability based on certain occupancy levels relative to design capacity. Revenue and expenses per compensated man-day for all of the correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities placed into service that we owned or managed, exclusive of those held for lease, and for TransCor were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" and ASU 2018-11, "Targeted Improvements – Leases (Topic 842)", cumulatively ASC 842, on January 1, 2019, a portion of the rental payments for the South Texas Family Residential Center was classified as depreciation and interest expense for financial reporting purposes in accordance with ASC 840-40-55, formerly Emerging Issues Task Force No. 97-10, "The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction." Accordingly, fixed expenses per compensated man-day for the three months ended March 31, 2018 include depreciation expense of $4.1 million and interest expense of $1.5 million in order to more properly reflect the cash flows associated with the lease at the South Texas Family Residential Center. Upon adoption of ASC 842, all rental payments associated with this lease are classified as operating expenses.
Revenue
Total revenue consists of management revenue we generate through CoreCivic Safety and CoreCivic Community in the operation of correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities, as well as the revenue we generate from TransCor, RMOMS, and RMSC. Total revenue also consists of rental revenue we generate through CoreCivic Properties from facilities we lease to third-party operators.

The $35.6 million, or 8.3%, increase in total management revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared with the same period in 2018 was primarily a result of an increase in revenue of approximately $16.8 million driven by an increase in the average daily compensated population. The increase in total management revenue was also a result of an increase in revenue of approximately $18.8 million driven primarily by an increase of 3.1% in average revenue per compensated man-day and the acquisition of RMSC in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in average revenue per compensated man-day was primarily the result of the
29
effect of per diem increases at several of our facilities as well as a higher mix of federal populations which generally have higher per diem rates.
Average daily compensated population increased 2,378, or 3.8%, to 64,551 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 62,173 during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Average daily compensated population increased primarily as a result of the new contract with the Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Corrections, or KYDOC, to care for medium and close-security offenders at our previously idled 816-bed Lee Adjustment Center in Kentucky. The new contract with the KYDOC commenced on November 19, 2017, and we began receiving offenders at the Lee facility late in the first quarter of 2018. Additional populations from the United States Marshals Service, or USMS, and ICE also contributed to an increase in average daily compensated population during 2019. These average daily compensated population increases were partially offset by the continued and anticipated decline in California inmates held in our out-of-state facilities.
The solutions we provide to our federal customers, including primarily the Federal Bureau of Prisons, or BOP, the USMS, and ICE, continues to be a significant component of our business. Our federal customers generated approximately 50% and 48% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, increasing $30.8 million, or 14.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared with the same period in 2018. The increase in federal revenues in 2019 primarily resulted from the combined effect of per diem increases for several of our federal contracts and a net increase in federal populations at certain other facilities, primarily from the USMS and ICE. Two new contracts with the USMS at our Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility and with ICE at our La Palma Correctional Center executed in June 2018 and July 2018, respectively, contributed to these higher federal populations.
State revenues from contracts at correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities that we operate decreased $5.9 million, or 3.3%, from the first quarter of 2018 to the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in state revenues was primarily a result of a continued, and anticipated decline in California inmates held in our out-of-state facilities. The decrease in state revenues was partially offset by new contracts with the KYDOC at our Lee Adjustment Center and the state of Ohio at our Northeast Ohio Correctional Center, and by the new contracts with the states of Vermont, Wyoming and South Carolina at our Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility, as further described hereafter. Per diem increases and a net increase in state populations at certain other facilities also contributed to the offset.
Several of our state partners are projecting improvements in their budgets which has helped us secure recent per diem increases at certain facilities. Further, several of our existing state partners, as well as prospective state partners, are experiencing growth in inmate populations and overcrowded conditions, or are considering alternative correctional capacity for their aged and inefficient infrastructure. Although we can provide no assurance that we will enter into any new contracts, we believe we are well positioned to provide states with needed bed capacity, as well as the programming and reentry services they are seeking. Since the beginning of 2018, we have completed the intake of new inmate populations as a result of new contracts with Ohio, Kentucky, Nevada, South Carolina, and Vermont, while Wyoming began utilizing an existing contract it had not utilized in nearly a decade.
The $7.5 million, or 64.7%, increase in rental revenue from the first quarter of 2018 to the comparable period in 2019 was primarily a result of acquisitions in 2018 of multiple properties leased to third parties, as further described hereafter.
We believe the long-term growth opportunities of our business remain attractive as government agencies consider their emergent needs, as well as the efficiency and offender programming opportunities we provide, as flexible solutions to satisfy our partners' needs. Further, we expect our partners to continue to face challenges in maintaining old facilities, developing new facilities, and expanding current facilities for additional capacity, which could result in increased future demand for the solutions we provide. Finally, as further described hereafter, we continue to identify attractive investment opportunities for government-leased properties, and expect to complete additional acquisitions that will diversify our cash flows, generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders, and broaden the solutions we are able to provide to our partners.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses totaled $345.8 million and $319.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Operating expenses consist of those expenses incurred in the operation and management of correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities, as well as those expenses incurred in the operations of TransCor, RMOMS, and RMSC. Operating expenses also consist of those expenses incurred in the operation of facilities we lease to third-party operators.
Expenses incurred by CoreCivic Safety and CoreCivic Community in connection with the operation and management of our correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities, as well as those incurred in the operations of TransCor, RMOMS, and RMSC, increased $24.2 million, or 7.7%, during the first quarter of 2019 when compared with the same period in 2018. Similar to our
30
management revenue, there were several factors that contributed to the increase in operating expenses incurred in these segments. The additional operating expenses resulting from the activation of our previously idled Lee Adjustment Center due to a new contract award from the KYDOC and the new contracts at our Tallahatchie and La Palma facilities contributed to the increase in operating expenses. Additional expenses resulting from the acquisition of RMSC in the fourth quarter of 2018 also contributed to the increase in operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2019. In addition, operating expenses increased as a result of the aforementioned adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019. Prior to adoption of ASC 842, a portion of the rental payments for the South Texas Family Residential Center was classified as depreciation and interest expense in accordance with ASC 840-40-55. The aggregate depreciation and interest expense associated with the lease at the South Texas Family Residential Center for the three months ended March 31, 2018 totaled $5.6 million. Upon adoption of ASC 842, all rental payments associated with this lease are classified as operating expenses.
Total expenses per compensated man-day increased to $57.03 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $56.73 during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Fixed expenses per compensated man-day increased to $41.40 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $40.58 during the same period in the prior year primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits expenses.
As the economy has improved and the nation's unemployment rate has declined, we have experienced wage pressures in certain markets across the country, and have provided wage increases to remain competitive. These wage pressures contributed to the increase in fixed expenses per compensated man-day during 2019 when compared to 2018. We continually monitor compensation levels very closely along with overall economic conditions and will set wage levels necessary to help ensure the long-term success of our business. Further, we continually evaluate the structure of our employee benefits package and training programs to ensure we are better able to attract and retain our employees. Salaries and benefits represent the most significant component of our operating expenses, representing approximately 60% of our total operating expenses during both the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.
Operating expenses incurred by CoreCivic Properties in connection with facilities we lease to third-party operators increased $2.5 million, or 81.5%, during the first quarter of 2019 when compared with the same period in 2018. The increase in expenses in this segment was primarily the result of acquisitions in 2018 of multiple properties leased to third parties.
Facility Management Contracts
We enter into facility management contracts to provide bed capacity and management services to governmental entities in our CoreCivic Safety and CoreCivic Community segments for terms typically ranging from three to five years, with additional renewal periods at the option of the contracting governmental agency. Accordingly, a substantial portion of our facility contracts are scheduled to expire each year, notwithstanding contractual renewal options that a government agency may exercise. Although we generally expect these customers to exercise renewal options or negotiate new contracts with us, one or more of these contracts may not be renewed by the corresponding governmental agency.
On May 1, 2019, the BOP announced that it elected not to renew the contract at our Adams County Correctional Center, which expires on July 31, 2019. At this time, the BOP has not determined when it will begin transferring offenders out of the Adams facility. We have begun to market the Adams facility to other potential government partners as we work with the BOP to develop their transition plan; however, we can provide no assurance that we will be successful in securing a replacement contract prior to the completion of the transition plan, which we believe is likely to extend beyond the contract's July 31, 2019 expiration date, or at all. For the year ended December 31, 2018, this facility generated $60.9 million in total revenue.
Based on information available as of the date of this Quarterly Report, notwithstanding the contract at the Adams facility described above, we believe we will renew all contracts with our government partners that have expired or are scheduled to expire within the next twelve months that could have a material impact on our financial statements. We believe our renewal rate on existing contracts remains high due to a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, the 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. However, we cannot assure we will continue to achieve such renewal rates in the future.
CoreCivic Safety
CoreCivic Safety includes the operating results of the correctional and detention facilities that we operated during each period. Total revenue generated by CoreCivic Safety increased $29.8 million, or 7.4%, from $404.5 million in the first quarter of 2018 to $434.3 million in the first quarter of 2019. CoreCivic Safety's facility net operating income, or facility revenues less operating expenses, increased $9.7 million, or 9.0%, from $108.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $117.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The aggregate depreciation and interest expense associated with the lease at the South Texas Family Residential Center for the three months ended March 31, 2018, totaling $5.6 million, is not included in the 2018 net operating income amount, but is included in the following per compensated man-day statistics for the three months ended March 31, 2018. During the
31
three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, CoreCivic Safety generated 85.2% and 88.6%, respectively, of our total facility net operating income.
The following table displays the revenue and expenses per compensated man-day for CoreCivic Safety's correctional and detention facilities placed into service that we own and manage and for the facilities we manage but do not own, inclusive of the transportation services provided by TransCor:

Operating margins within the CoreCivic Safety facilities during the first quarter of 2019 were positively impacted by the aforementioned new contract with the KYDOC at our Lee Adjustment Center. During the first quarter of 2018, we incurred start-up expenses at the facility as we prepared to receive offender populations from the KYDOC late in the quarter. The new contracts with the USMS, and the states of Vermont, Wyoming and South Carolina at our Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility, as further described hereafter, also positively impacted operating margins during the first quarter of 2019. As California populations declined at the Tallahatchie facility during the first quarter of 2018, we retained staff at the facility in anticipation of the new contracts. An increase in offender populations from the USMS and ICE across the portfolio, as well as per diem increases at several of our facilities, also positively impacted operating margins when comparing the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2018.
During the first quarter of 2015, the adult inmate population held in state of California institutions first met a Federal court order to reduce inmate populations below 137.5% of its capacity. Inmate populations in the state continued to decline below the court ordered capacity limit which has resulted in declining inmate populations in the out-of-state program at facilities we own and operate. The state of California's budget for fiscal 2018-2019, signed by the Governor of California in June 2018, anticipated that all inmates would be returned to the State by January 2019. In accordance with the budget for fiscal 2018-2019, all inmates were removed from our 2,672-bed Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility in Tutwiler, Mississippi in the second quarter of 2018. However, due to the higher-than-expected population in fiscal 2018-2019, the State was unable to accept the transfer of the inmates cared for at our 3,060-bed La Palma Correctional Center in Eloy, Arizona, our remaining out-of-state facility caring for California inmates. During January 2019, the Governor issued a proposed budget for fiscal 2019-2020, which assumes all inmates will be returned from out-of-state facilities by June 30, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, we cared for approximately 1,100 inmates from the state of California at our La Palma facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we cared for an average daily population of approximately 1,600 and 4,200 California inmates, respectively, in facilities outside the state. This decline in population resulted in a decrease in revenue of $14.8 million from the three months ended March 31, 2018 to the comparable period in 2019. Approximately 2% and 6% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, was generated from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in facilities housing inmates outside the state of California.
On June 14, 2018, we announced that we entered into a new contract under an inter-governmental service agreement, or IGSA, between the Tallahatchie County Correctional Authority, Tutwiler, Mississippi and the USMS at our Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility. The new contract, which also authorizes ICE to utilize the facility, commenced on June 14, 2018, and has an initial term expiring June 30, 2020, with unlimited two-year extension options thereafter upon mutual agreement. On September 19, 2018, we announced that we entered into a new contract with the Vermont Department of Corrections to care for up to 350 of the State's inmates at our Tallahatchie facility. The new contract commenced on October 1, 2018, and has an initial term of two years, with one additional two-year extension option thereafter upon mutual agreement. We began receiving inmates from Vermont at our Tallahatchie facility during the fourth quarter of 2018. On March 31, 2019, we cared for approximately 600 offenders from the USMS,
32
1,200 detainees from ICE, 250 inmates from Vermont, and approximately 200 offenders under additional new contracts from the states of South Carolina and Wyoming and the U.S. Virgin Islands at our Tallahatchie facility.
On July 24, 2018, we announced that the city of Eloy agreed to modify an existing IGSA with ICE to add the La Palma facility as a place of performance. The new contract commenced on July 24, 2018, and has an indefinite term, subject to termination by either party with 90 days' written notice. Capacity at the facility has initially been made available to ICE under the new agreement as California inmate populations declined at the facility. On March 31, 2019, we cared for approximately 1,600 detainees from ICE at our La Palma facility.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, ICE officials announced that as of April 1, 2019, they would be converting, at least on a temporary basis, most of a competitor-operated family residential center to a detention center for single immigrant women. At this time, we are unaware of plans for ICE to make any changes to its use or utilization of the South Texas Family Residential Center, which generated $42.8 million in revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $42.7 million during the same period in 2018. We lease the South Texas Family Residential Center and the site upon which it was constructed from a third-party lessor. Our lease agreement with the lessor is over a base period concurrent with an IGSA with ICE which was amended in October 2016 to extend the term of the agreement through September 2021. However, ICE can terminate the agreement related to the South Texas Family Residential Center for convenience or non-appropriation of funds, without penalty, by providing us with at least a 60-day notice. In the event we cancel the lease with the third-party lessor prior to its expiration as a result of the termination of the IGSA by ICE for convenience, and if we are unable to reach an agreement for the continued use of the facility within 90 days from the termination date, we are required to pay a termination fee based on the termination date, currently equal to $7.0 million and declining to zero by October 2020.
CoreCivic Community
CoreCivic Community includes the operating results of the residential reentry centers that we operated during each period, along with the operating results of RMOMS and RMSC from their acquisition dates. Total revenue generated by CoreCivic Community increased $5.8 million, or 23.3%, from $24.8 million during the first quarter of 2018 to $30.6 million during the first quarter of 2019. CoreCivic Community's facility net operating income increased $1.6 million, or 30.1%, from $5.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $7.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, CoreCivic Community generated 5.1% and 4.4%, respectively, of our total facility net operating income.
The following table displays the revenue and expenses per compensated man-day for CoreCivic Community's residential reentry facilities placed into service that we own and manage, but exclusive of the electronic monitoring and case management services provided by RMOMS and RMSC given that revenue is not generated on a per compensated man-day basis for these services:

|
|
• |
On February 20, 2019, we acquired the South Raleigh Reentry Center, a 60-bed residential reentry center in Raleigh, North Carolina. In connection with the acquisition, we expect to become the contracting party to a contract with the BOP to provide reentry services for both male and female residents. |
We acquired RMOMS and RMSC in 2018 and the South Raleigh Reentry Center in 2019 as strategic investments that further expand the network of reentry assets we own and broaden the scope of solutions we provide.
CoreCivic Properties
CoreCivic Properties includes the operating results of the properties we leased to third parties and that were used by government agencies during each period. Total revenue generated by CoreCivic Properties increased $7.5 million, or 64.5%, from $11.6 million in the first quarter of 2018 to $19.1 million in the first quarter of 2019. CoreCivic Properties' facility net operating income increased $5.0 million, or 58.3%, from $8.5 million in the first quarter of 2018 to $13.5 million in the first quarter of 2019. The increase in total revenue and net operating income were primarily the result of the properties we acquired in 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, CoreCivic Properties generated 9.7% and 7.0%, respectively, of our total facility net operating income.
On January 19, 2018, we acquired the 261,000 square-foot Capital Commerce Center, located in Tallahassee, Florida. Capital Commerce Center is 98% leased, including 87% leased to the state of Florida on behalf of the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
On January 24, 2018, we entered into a 20-year lease agreement with the Kansas Department of Corrections, or KDOC, for a 2,432-bed correctional facility we are constructing in Lansing, Kansas. The new facility will replace the Lansing Correctional Facility, the State's largest correctional complex for adult male inmates, originally constructed in 1863. We will be responsible for facility maintenance throughout the 20-year term of the lease, at which time ownership will revert to the State. Construction of the new facility commenced in the first quarter of 2018 and is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2020.
On July 17, 2018, we completed the acquisition of a portfolio of twelve properties which are 100% leased to the U.S. Federal Government through the General Services Administration, or GSA, an independent agency of the United States government on behalf of the Social Security Administration, or SSA, the Department of Homeland Security, or DHS, and ICE.
On August 23, 2018, we acquired the 541,000 square-foot SSA-Baltimore office building. The office building was purpose built to SSA specifications in 2014 under a 20-year firm term lease expiring in January 2034, and is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Federal Government through the GSA.
On September 21, 2018, we acquired a 217,000 square-foot, steel frame property in Dayton, Ohio that was built-to-suit for the National Archives and Records Administration, or NARA, in 2002. The building is 100% leased to the GSA on behalf of NARA through January 2023 and includes two additional 10-year renewal options. The building provides 1.2 million cubic feet of storage space, approximately 90% of which is dedicated to archives of the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS.
Subsequent to quarter-end, on May 6, 2019, we completed the acquisition of a 37,000 square-foot office building in Detroit, Michigan, for $7.2 million, excluding transaction related expenses, that was built-to-suit for the state of Michigan's Department of Health and Human Services, or MDHHS, in 2002. The property is 100% leased to the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget, or MDTMB, on behalf of MDHHS through June 2028 and includes one six-year renewal option at the sole discretion of the MDTMB.
We currently intend to pursue attractive investment opportunities for government-leased properties, and we expect to complete additional acquisitions that we believe will diversify our cash flows, generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders, and broaden the solutions we are able to provide to our partners.
General and administrative expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, general and administrative expenses totaled $29.4 million and $25.0 million, respectively. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of corporate management salaries and benefits, professional fees, including those associated with mergers and acquisitions, or M&A, and other administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased from the prior year quarter primarily as a result of higher salaries, including incentive compensation, as well as other general and administrative expenses.
34
Depreciation and amortization
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, depreciation and amortization expense totaled $35.5 million and $38.1 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization decreased primarily as a result of the aforementioned adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019. Prior to adoption of ASC 842, a portion of the rental payments for the South Texas Family Residential Center was classified as depreciation in accordance with ASC 840-40-55. Depreciation expense associated with the lease at the South Texas Family Residential Center for the three months ended March 31, 2018 amounted to $4.1 million. Upon adoption of ASC 842, all rental payments associated with this lease are classified as operating expenses. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was partially offset by the additional expense resulting from our M&A activities since the first quarter of 2018.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense is reported net of interest income and capitalized interest for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Gross interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $21.9 million and $19.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Gross interest expense is based on outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, our outstanding Incremental Term Loan, or Term Loan, our outstanding senior notes, and our outstanding non-recourse mortgage notes, as well as the amortization of loan costs and unused facility fees. The increase in gross interest expense primarily resulted from an increase in the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, and higher interest expense associated with the new non-recourse mortgage notes issued during 2018, as further described hereafter. Partially offsetting the increase in expense was the reduction in interest expense associated with the lease of the South Texas Family Residential Center. Interest expense associated with the lease of this facility was $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018, classified as such in accordance with ASC 840-40-55. As previously described herein, upon adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, all rental payments associated with this lease are classified as operating expenses.
We have benefited from relatively low interest rates on our revolving credit facility, which is largely based on LIBOR. Based on our total leverage ratio, borrowings under our revolving credit facility during 2018 and the first quarter of 2019 were at the base rate plus a margin of 0.50% or at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50%, and a commitment fee equal to 0.35% of the unfunded balance. Interest rates under the Term Loan are the same as the interest rates under our revolving credit facility.
On January 19, 2018, we acquired the 261,000 square-foot Capital Commerce Center located in Tallahassee, Florida for a purchase price of $44.7 million. The acquisition was partially financed with a $24.5 million non-recourse mortgage note, or the Capital Commerce Note, which is fully-secured by the Capital Commerce Center property, with an interest rate of 4.5%, maturing in January 2033.
On April 20, 2018, CoreCivic of Kansas, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, priced $159.5 million in aggregate principal amount of non-recourse senior secured notes, or the Kansas Notes, in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The private placement closed on June 1, 2018. We are using the proceeds of the private placement, which are drawn on quarterly funding dates beginning in the second quarter of 2018, to fund construction of the Lansing Correctional Facility, as further described hereafter, along with costs and expenses of the project. The Kansas Notes have a yield to maturity of 4.43% and are scheduled to mature in January 2040, approximately 20 years following completion of the project, which is expected to occur during the first quarter of 2020. We capitalized $0.9 million of interest associated with this construction project during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
On August 23, 2018, we acquired the 541,000 square-foot SSA-Baltimore office building for a purchase price of $242.0 million. In connection with the acquisition, we assumed $157.3 million of in-place financing that was used to fund the initial construction of the property in 2014. The assumed non-recourse mortgage note, or the SSA-Baltimore Note, carries a fixed interest rate of 4.5%, with a balloon payment of $40.0 million due at maturity in February 2034. The SSA-Baltimore Note is fully-secured by the SSA-Baltimore property.
Gross interest income was $0.5 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Gross interest income is earned on notes receivable, investments, cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Total capitalized interest was $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Capitalized interest was primarily associated with the construction of the Lansing Correctional Facility and the expansion of our Otay Mesa Detention Center, as further described hereafter. There was no interest capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
35
Income tax expense
As a REIT, we are entitled to a deduction for dividends paid, resulting in a substantial reduction in the amount of federal income tax expense we recognize. Substantially all of our income tax expense is incurred based on the earnings generated by our TRSs. Our overall effective tax rate is estimated based on the current projection of taxable income primarily generated by our TRSs. Our consolidated effective tax rate could fluctuate in the future based on changes in estimates of taxable income, the relative amounts of taxable income generated by the TRSs and the REIT, the implementation of additional tax planning strategies, changes in federal or state tax rates or laws affecting tax credits available to us, changes in other tax laws, changes in estimates related to uncertain tax positions, or changes in state apportionment factors, as well as changes in the valuation allowance applied to our deferred tax assets that are based primarily on the amount of state net operating losses and tax credits that could expire unused.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, our financial statements reflected an income tax expense of $2.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 4.8% and 4.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal capital requirements are for working capital, stockholder distributions, capital expenditures, and debt service payments. Capital requirements may also include cash expenditures associated with our outstanding commitments and contingencies, as further discussed in the notes to our financial statements. Additionally, our capital expenditures may include M&A activities that will enable us to further expand our network of residential reentry centers, grow our portfolio of government-leased properties, and acquire other businesses that provide complementary services. We will continue to pursue opportunities to help our government partners meet their infrastructure needs, primarily through the development and redevelopment of criminal justice sector assets, but also by acquiring other real estate assets, with a bias toward those used to provide mission-critical governmental services, that we believe have favorable investment returns, diversify our cash flows, and increase value to our stockholders. We will also respond to customer demand and may develop or expand correctional and detention facilities when we believe potential long-term returns justify the capital deployment.
To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we generally are required to distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains). Our REIT taxable income will not typically include income earned by our TRSs except to the extent our TRSs pay dividends to the REIT. Our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.44 for the first quarter of 2019 totaling $53.0 million. The amount, timing and frequency of future distributions will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will be declared based upon various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including our financial condition and operating cash flows, the amount required to maintain qualification and taxation as a REIT and to reduce any income and excise taxes that we otherwise would be required to pay, limitations on distributions in our existing and future debt instruments, limitations on our ability to fund distributions using cash generated through our TRSs, alternative growth opportunities that require capital deployment, and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant.
As of March 31, 2019, our liquidity was provided by cash on hand of $20.5 million, and $562.3 million available under our revolving credit facility. Our Credit Agreement also contains an "accordion" feature that provides for uncommitted incremental extensions of credit in the form of increases in the revolving commitments or incremental term loans of up to $350.0 million as we request. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we generated $77.8 million and $108.5 million, respectively, in cash through operating activities. We currently expect to be able to meet our cash expenditure requirements for the next year utilizing these resources. We have no debt maturities until April 2020.
Our cash flow is subject to the receipt of sufficient funding of and timely payment by contracting governmental entities. If the appropriate governmental agency does not receive sufficient appropriations to cover its contractual obligations, it may terminate our contract or delay or reduce payment to us. Delays in payment from our major customers or the termination of contracts from our major customers could have an adverse effect on our cash flow, financial condition and, consequently, dividend distributions to our shareholders.
Debt and equity
As of March 31, 2019, we had $350.0 million principal amount of unsecured notes outstanding with a fixed stated interest rate of 4.625%, $325.0 million principal amount of unsecured notes outstanding with a fixed stated interest rate of 4.125%, $250.0 million principal amount of unsecured notes outstanding with a fixed stated interest rate of 5.0%, and $250.0 million principal amount of unsecured notes outstanding with a fixed stated interest rate of 4.75%. In addition, we had $23.1 million outstanding under the Capital Commerce Note
36
with a fixed stated interest rate of 4.5%, $93.5 million outstanding under the Kansas Notes with a fixed stated interest rate of 4.43%, and $154.2 million outstanding under the SSA-Baltimore Note with a fixed stated interest rate of 4.5%. We also had $196.3 million outstanding under our Term Loan with a variable interest rate of 4.0%, and $214.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility with a variable weighted average interest rate of 4.0%. As of March 31, 2019, our total weighted average effective interest rate was 4.8%, while our total weighted average maturity was 5.9 years. We may also seek to issue debt or equity securities from time to time when we determine that market conditions and the opportunity to utilize the proceeds from the issuance of such securities are favorable.
On August 28, 2018, we entered into an Amended and Restated ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement, or ATM Agreement, with multiple sales agents, pursuant to which we may offer and sell to or through the agents, from time to time, shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $200.0 million. Sales, if any, of our shares of common stock will be made primarily in "at-the-market" offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The shares of common stock will be offered and sold pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-3 and a related prospectus supplement, both filed with the SEC on August 28, 2018. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from any sale of shares of our common stock to repay outstanding borrowings or for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include investments. There were no shares of our common stock sold under the ATM Agreement during 2018 or during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Facility acquisitions, development, and capital expenditures
On February 20, 2019, we acquired the South Raleigh Reentry Center, a 60-bed residential reentry center in Raleigh, North Carolina, for $0.9 million, excluding transaction-related expenses.
On January 24, 2018, we entered into a 20-year lease agreement with the KDOC for a 2,432-bed correctional facility we are constructing in Lansing, Kansas, for a total project cost of approximately $155.0 million to $165.0 million. Construction of the facility is being funded with proceeds from the private placement of the Kansas Notes, as previously described herein. As of March 31, 2019, we have capitalized $74.4 million associated with the construction project. This transaction represents the first development of a privately owned, build-to-suit correctional facility to be operated by a government agency through a long-term lease agreement. We will be responsible for facility maintenance throughout the 20-year term of the lease, at which time ownership will revert to the State. Construction of the new facility commenced in the first quarter of 2018 and is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2020. With the extensively aged criminal justice infrastructure in the U.S. today, we believe we can bring our flexible solutions like this to other government agencies.
As a result of long-standing demand from the USMS and ICE, and limited detention capacity in the Southwest region of the United States, during the fourth quarter of 2018, we obtained permits necessary to expand our 1,482-bed Otay Mesa Detention Center in San Diego, California by 512 beds. The expansion is expected to be complete during the fourth quarter of 2019 at an estimated cost of approximately $43.0 million, including $24.9 million incurred through March 31, 2019. Both the USMS and ICE currently utilize the Otay Mesa Detention Center under an existing contract that enables both agencies to utilize the additional capacity.
Several of our existing federal and state partners, as well as prospective state partners, are experiencing growth in offender populations and overcrowded conditions, or are considering alternative correctional capacity for their aged or inefficient infrastructure. Competing budget priorities often impede our customers' ability to construct new prison beds of their own or update older facilities, which we believe could result in further need for private sector prison capacity solutions in the long-term. Over the long-term, we would like to see meaningful utilization of our available capacity and better visibility from our customers into their potential future needs before we develop new prison capacity on a speculative basis. We will, however, respond to customer demand and may develop or expand correctional and detention facilities when we believe potential long-term returns justify the capital deployment, like the aforementioned expansion of our Otay Mesa Detention Center. We expect to continue to pursue investment opportunities in residential reentry centers and are in various stages of due diligence to complete additional acquisitions. The transactions that have not yet closed will also be subject to various customary closing conditions, and we can provide no assurance that any such transactions will ultimately be completed. We are also pursuing additional investment opportunities in other real estate assets with a bias toward those used to provide mission-critical governmental services, as well as other businesses that expand the range of solutions we provide to government partners, and expect to complete additional acquisitions that would further diversify our cash flows and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders. Although we may finance such acquisitions with non-recourse secured debt, we will continue to pursue acquisitions financed with a combination of cash on hand, capacity under our revolving credit facility, unsecured debt, and equity.

Operating Activities
Our net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $77.8 million, compared with $108.5 million for the same period in the prior year. Cash provided by operating activities represents the year to date net income plus depreciation and amortization, changes in various components of working capital, and various non-cash charges. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities compared with the prior year quarter resulted from a negative change in working capital during the first quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2018, when cash from operating activities reflected a positive fluctuation of $41.2 million in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and other assets, primarily due to net collections of accounts receivable outstanding as of December 31, 2017.
Investing Activities
Our cash flow used in investing activities was $78.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and was primarily attributable to a $30.0 million payment made on January 2, 2019, reflected in acquisitions, net of cash acquired on the consolidated statement of cash flows, pursuant to a previously disclosed agreement with the state of Montana entered into in the third quarter of 2018 to extend our ownership of the Crossroads Correctional Center for the estimated duration of its useful life. Our cash flow used in investing activities also included $0.9 million attributable to the acquisition of the South Raleigh Reentry Center, as previously described herein. Capital expenditures during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 also included capital expenditures for facility development and expansions of $36.0 million and $10.0 million for facility maintenance and information technology capital expenditures. Our cash flow used in investing activities was $69.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and was primarily attributable to capital expenditures during the three-month period of $20.7 million, including expenditures for facility development and expansions of $3.4 million and $17.3 million for facility maintenance and information technology capital expenditures. Our cash flow used in investing activities also included $48.5 million attributable to the acquisitions of RMOMS and Capital Commerce Center in the first quarter of 2018.
Financing Activities
Cash flow used in financing activities was $20.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and was primarily attributable to dividend payments of $52.4 million and $3.1 million for the purchase and retirement of common stock that was issued in connection with equity-based compensation. In addition, cash flow used in financing activities included $6.4 million of contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of a business and $2.9 million of scheduled principal repayments under our Term Loan and non-recourse mortgage notes. These payments were partially offset by $13.0 million of net borrowings under our revolving credit facility and $31.1 million of proceeds from the quarterly borrowing of the Kansas Notes during the construction period of the Lansing Correctional Facility.
Cash flow used in financing activities was $34.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and was primarily attributable to dividend payments of $51.1 million and $2.5 million for the purchase and retirement of common stock that was issued in connection with equity-based compensation. In addition, cash flow used in financing activities included $1.0 million of net repayments under our revolving credit facility, $24.5 million of proceeds from the issuance of the Capital Commerce Note, and $2.7 million of scheduled principal repayments under our Term Loan and non-recourse mortgage note.
Funds from Operations
Funds From Operations, or FFO, is a widely accepted supplemental non-GAAP measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate companies. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or 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. We believe FFO is an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting results.
We also present Normalized FFO as an additional supplemental measure as we believe it is more reflective of our core operating performance. We may make adjustments to FFO from time to time for certain other income and expenses that we consider non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, even though such items may require cash settlement, because such items do not reflect a necessary component of our ongoing operations. Even though expenses associated with M&A 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 our ongoing operations, may not be comparable from period to period. Normalized FFO excludes the effects of such items.
38
FFO and Normalized FFO are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of real estate companies' operating performance, which do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered an alternative for net income or as a measure of liquidity. Our method of calculating FFO and Normalized FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
Our reconciliation of net income to FFO and Normalized FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows (in thousands):

The cash obligations in the table above do not include future cash obligations for variable interest expense associated with our Term Loan or the balance on our outstanding revolving credit facility as projections would be based on future outstanding balances as well as future variable interest rates, and we are unable to make reliable estimates of either. The cash obligations in the table above also do not include the interest associated with the construction of the Lansing Correctional Facility as the debt was initially and partially drawn during 2018 and 2019, and the timing and amount of the interest repayments will be based on the total amounts drawn by the date construction is complete. See Note 5 to the Company's consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning the terms of the indebtedness. The contractual facility developments included in the table above represent development projects for which we have already entered into a contract with a customer that obligates us to complete the development project. Certain of our other ongoing construction projects are not currently under contract and thus are not included as a contractual obligation above as we may generally suspend or terminate such projects without substantial penalty. With respect to the South Texas Family Residential Center, the cash obligations included in the table above reflect the full contractual obligations of the lease of the site, excluding contingent payments, even though the lease agreement provides us with the ability to terminate if ICE terminates the amended inter-governmental service agreement associated with the facility.
We had $23.7 million of letters of credit outstanding at March 31, 2019 primarily to support our requirement to repay fees and claims under our self-insured workers' compensation plan in the event we do not repay the fees and claims due in accordance with the terms of the plan. The letters of credit are renewable annually. We did not have any draws under any outstanding letters of credit during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.
39
INFLATION
Many of our contracts include provisions for inflationary indexing, which mitigates an adverse impact of inflation on net income. However, a substantial increase in personnel costs, workers' compensation or food and medical expenses could have an adverse impact on our results of operations in the future to the extent that these expenses increase at a faster pace than the per diem or fixed rates we receive for our management services. We outsource our food service operations to a third party. The contract with our outsourced food service vendor contains certain protections against increases in food costs.
SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Because we are generally compensated for operating and managing correctional, detention, and reentry facilities at a per diem rate, our financial results are impacted by the number of calendar days in a fiscal quarter. Our fiscal year follows the calendar year and therefore, our daily profits for the third and fourth quarters include two more days than the first quarter (except in leap years) and one more day than the second quarter. Further, salaries and benefits represent the most significant component of operating expenses. Significant portions of our unemployment taxes are recognized during the first quarter, when base wage rates reset for unemployment tax purposes. Finally, quarterly results are affected by government funding initiatives, acquisitions, the timing of the opening of new facilities, or the commencement of new management contracts and related start-up expenses which may mitigate or exacerbate the impact of other seasonal influences. Because of these seasonality factors, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.
|
ITEM 3. |
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in U.S. interest rates. We are exposed to market risk related to our revolving credit facility and Term Loan because the interest rates on our revolving credit facility and Term Loan are subject to fluctuations in the market. If the interest rate for our outstanding indebtedness under the revolving credit facility and Term Loan was 100 basis points higher or lower during the three months ended March 31, 2019, our interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, would have been increased or decreased by $1.2 million.
As of March 31, 2019, we had outstanding $325.0 million of senior notes due 2020 with a fixed interest rate of 4.125%, $350.0 million of senior notes due 2023 with a fixed interest rate of 4.625%, $250.0 million of senior notes due 2022 with a fixed interest rate of 5.0%, and $250.0 million of senior notes due 2027 with a fixed interest rate of 4.75%. We also had $23.1 million outstanding under the Capital Commerce Note with a fixed interest rate of 4.5%, $93.5 million outstanding under the Kansas Notes with a fixed interest rate of 4.43%, and $154.2 million outstanding under the SSA-Baltimore Note with a fixed interest rate of 4.5%. Because the interest rates with respect to these instruments are fixed, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would not have a material impact on our financial statements.
We may, from time to time, invest our cash in a variety of short-term financial instruments. These instruments generally consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less. While these investments are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value if market interest rates increase, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would not materially affect the value of these instruments.
|
ITEM 4. |
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
|
ITEM 1. |
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. |
General
The nature of our business results in claims and litigation alleging that we are liable for damages arising from the conduct of our employees or others. In the opinion of management, other than the litigation matter discussed below, there are no pending legal proceedings that would have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Claims and legal proceedings are, however, subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable decisions and rulings could occur that could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which such decisions and rulings occur, or future periods.
Litigation
In a memorandum to the BOP dated August 18, 2016, the DOJ directed that, as each contract with privately operated prisons reaches the end of its term, the BOP should either decline to renew that contract or substantially reduce its scope in a manner consistent with law and the overall decline of the BOP's inmate population. In addition to the decline in the BOP's inmate population, the DOJ memorandum cites purported operational, programming, and cost efficiency factors as reasons for the DOJ directive. On February 21, 2017, the newly appointed U.S. Attorney General issued a memorandum rescinding the DOJ's prior directive stating the memorandum changed long-standing policy and practice and impaired the BOP's ability to meet the future needs of the federal correctional system.
Following the release of the August 18, 2016 DOJ memorandum, a purported securities class action lawsuit was filed against us and certain of our current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, or the District Court, captioned Grae v. Corrections Corporation of America et al., Case No. 3:16-cv-02267. The lawsuit is brought on behalf of a putative class of shareholders who purchased or acquired our securities between February 27, 2012 and August 17, 2016. In general, the lawsuit alleges that, during this timeframe, our public statements were false and/or misleading regarding the purported operational, programming, and cost efficiency factors cited in the DOJ memorandum and, as a result, our stock price was artificially inflated. The lawsuit alleges that the publication of the DOJ memorandum on August 18, 2016 revealed the alleged fraud, causing the per share price of our stock to decline, thereby causing harm to the putative class of shareholders.
On December 18, 2017, the District Court denied our motion to dismiss. On January 18, 2019, the District Court denied plaintiffs' motion to certify the matter as a class action. Plaintiffs timely moved the court to reconsider that ruling, simultaneously initiating the process to seek permission to appeal to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals should the court deny their motion. On March 26, 2019, the District Court granted plaintiffs’ reconsideration motion and certified a class proposed by the plaintiff. On April 9, 2019, we timely petitioned the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals for permission to appeal the District Court’s certification of the class, and that petition is pending.
We believe the lawsuit is entirely without merit and intend to vigorously defend against it. In addition, we maintain insurance, with certain self-insured retention amounts, to cover the alleged claims which may mitigate the risk that such litigation would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Also, see the information reported in Note 8 to the financial statements included in Part I, which information is incorporated hereunder by this reference.

Exhibit 4.1
2020 Supplemental Indenture
SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of January 7, 2019, among Recovery Monitoring Solutions Corporation, a Texas corporation, (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), each a subsidiary of CoreCivic, Inc. (successor to Corrections Corporation of America) (or its permitted successor), a Maryland corporation (the “Issuer”), the Issuer, the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to herein) and Regions Bank, as trustee under the indenture referred to below and successor-in-interest to U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”).
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the Issuer has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee a base indenture dated as of April 4, 2013 (the “Indenture”) providing for the issuance of the Issuer’s 4.125% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”);
WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:
|
1. |
CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. |
|
2. |
AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows: |
|
(a) |

Exhibit 4.4
2027 Supplemental Indenture
SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of January 7, 2019, among Recovery Monitoring Solutions Corporation, a Texas corporation (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of CoreCivic, Inc. (successor to Corrections Corporation of America) (or its permitted successor), a Maryland corporation (the “Issuer”), the Issuer, the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to herein) and Regions Bank, as trustee under the indenture referred to below and successor-in-interest to U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”).
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the Issuer has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an Indenture dated as of September 25, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”) between the Issuer and the Trustee, as amended and supplemented by a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 13, 2017 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) providing for the issuance of the Issuer’s 4.75% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”);
WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:
|
1. |
CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. |
|
2. |
AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows: |
|
(a) |
Along with all Guarantors named in the Indenture, to jointly and severally unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: |
(i)the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and
(ii)in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.
|
(b) |
The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. |
|
(c) |
The following is hereby waived: diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever. |
|
(d) |
This Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture, and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations of a Guarantor under the Indenture. |
|
(e) |
If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. |
|
(f) |
The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. |
|
(g) |
As between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee. |
|
(h) |
The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantee. |
|
(i) |
Pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Indenture, after giving effect to any maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable (A) Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws or (B) any applicable state laws prohibiting shareholder distributions by an insolvent subsidiary to the extent applicable, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture, this new Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance or an unlawful shareholder distribution. |

|
4. |
RELEASES. |
|
(a) |
The Guaranteeing Subsidiary will be released and relived of any obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, the Indenture, the Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement (i) in the event of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary (including by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of the Issuer, (ii) a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, in each case, to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) a Subsidiary of the Issuer, (iii) upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Notes pursuant to Article Eight of the Indenture or (iv) if the Guaranteeing Subsidiary is released from its guarantees under all Credit Facilities of the Issuer or another Guarantor (including as a result of such Credit Facilities ceasing to be outstanding). Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the provisions of the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture with respect to the release of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary have been satisfied, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee. |
|
(b) |
Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article 10 of the Indenture. |
|
(c) |
Nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into an Issuer (in which case such Guarantor shall no longer be a Guarantor) or another Guarantor or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to an Issuer or another Guarantor. |
|
6. |
NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy. |
|
7. |
NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. |
|
8. |
COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. |

9. |
EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. |
|
10. |
THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Issuer. |

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed and attested, all as of the date first above written.
