CORECIVIC REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2021 FINANCIAL RESULTS

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – November 8, 2021 – CoreCivic, Inc. (NYSE: CXW) (the Company) announced today its financial results for the third quarter of 2021.

Financial Highlights – Third Quarter 2021

 

   

Total revenue of $471.2 million

 

   

CoreCivic Safety revenue of $431.5 million

 

   

CoreCivic Community revenue of $25.5 million

 

   

CoreCivic Properties revenue of $13.9 million

 

   

Diluted earnings per share of $0.25

 

   

Adjusted diluted EPS of $0.28

 

   

Normalized FFO per diluted share of $0.48

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA of $100.9 million

 

   

Issuance of $225.0 million of Unsecured Senior Notes

 

   

Leverage decreased to 2.7x

Damon T. Hininger, CoreCivic’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our cash flow generation remains strong despite the ongoing global pandemic and the unique challenges presented by the current employment market. We continue to execute on our capital allocation strategy with a priority of reducing debt, and enhancing our overall capital structure. During the third quarter we sufficiently reduced debt to fall within the high end of our targeted leverage ratio, and continue to make progress in obtaining the clarity needed to move to the next phase of our capital allocation strategy. Our capital allocation strategy continues to benefit our cost of borrowing, as shown with our recent $225 million unsecured bond issuance which priced nearly 100 basis points lower than the April 2021 issuance.

Hininger continued, “Our business is very durable, and continues to generate cash flow even during these unprecedented disruptions to the economy and criminal justice system. This resiliency is due to the essential nature of our facilities and services in our Safety and Community segments, further enhanced by the stability of our Properties segment, all supported by payments from highly rated federal, state, and local government agencies.”

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results Compared With Third Quarter 2020

Net income attributable to common stockholders in the third quarter of 2021 totaled $30.0 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared with net income attributable to common stockholders generated in the third quarter of 2020 of $26.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share. Adjusted for special items, net income in the third quarter of 2021 was $33.7 million, or $0.28 per diluted share (Adjusted Diluted EPS), compared with adjusted net income in the third quarter of 2020 of $34.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted share. Special items for each period are presented in

detail in the calculation of Adjusted Diluted EPS following the financial statements presented herein. Financial results in 2021 reflect higher income tax expense following the revocation of our election to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) effective January 1, 2021. As a REIT, we were entitled to a deduction for dividends paid, which resulted in a significantly lower income tax expense in the prior year.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $95.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared with $87.8 million in the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the special items referred to above, was $100.9 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared with $94.6 million in the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA increased from the prior year quarter despite a $7.3 million reduction in facility EBITDA attributable to the 42 properties sold in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the five additional non-core real estate assets sold in the second quarter of 2021.

Funds From Operations (FFO) was $54.9 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $53.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2020. Normalized FFO, which excludes the special items referred to above, was $58.6 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021, compared with $62.3 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2020. FFO and Normalized FFO were also impacted by our new corporate tax structure.

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

Business Updates

Notes Offering and Debt Reduction. On September 29, 2021, we completed an underwritten registered tack-on offering of $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “Additional Notes”) at an issue price of 102.25% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued interest from the April 14, 2021 issue date for the $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “Original Notes”). The Additional Notes have an effective yield to maturity of 7.65%, nearly 100 basis points below the effective yield of the Original Notes.

We have made substantial progress in reducing debt, repaying $187.5 million of debt during the third quarter of 2021, net of the change in cash. During the third quarter of 2021, we fully repaid the $112.0 million outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility, which remains undrawn. Including the repayments of mortgage notes associated with the sale of non-core assets, we have reduced our net debt balance by over $500.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Subsequent to quarter-end, we repaid $90.0 million, or approximately 40%, of the outstanding balance on our Term Loan B using cash on hand. Using the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2021, our leverage, or net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, was 2.7x, falling within the high end of our targeted leverage of 2.25x to 2.75x, and down from 4.0x using the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2020.

New Lease Agreement with the State of New Mexico at the Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center. On September 21, 2021, we entered into a new three-year lease agreement with the State of New Mexico at the Company’s 596-bed Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center. We previously operated the Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center under a contract with New Mexico and transitioned facility operations to the New Mexico Corrections Department when the new lease agreement commenced on November 1, 2021. We will retain responsibility for facility maintenance throughout the term of the lease. The new lease agreement includes automatic extension options that could extend the term of the lease through October 31, 2041.

Financial Guidance

At this time we are not providing 2021 financial guidance because of uncertainties associated with COVID-19, including a resurgence caused by the Delta variant, as well as uncertainties associated with the application of the administration’s various executive actions and policies related to immigration and criminal justice. We currently expect to provide full year 2022 financial guidance in February 2022, when we expect to report our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2021.

NOTE TO SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

NAREIT defines FFO as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate and impairment of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Normalized FFO are useful as supplemental measures of performance of the Company’s properties because such measures do not take into account depreciation and amortization, or with respect to EBITDA, the impact of the Company’s tax provisions and financing strategies. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), this accounting presentation assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes at a level rate over time. Because of the unique structure, design and use of the Company’s properties, management believes that assessing performance of the Company’s properties without the impact of depreciation or amortization is useful. The Company may make adjustments to FFO from time to time for certain other income and expenses that it considers non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, even though such items may require cash settlement, because such items do not reflect a necessary or ordinary component of the ongoing operations of the Company. Normalized FFO excludes the effects of such items. The Company calculates Adjusted Net Income by adding to GAAP Net Income expenses associated with the Company’s debt repayments and refinancing transactions, M&A activity, and certain impairments and other charges that the Company believes are unusual or non-recurring to provide an alternative measure of comparing operating performance for the periods presented. Even though expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions may be recurring, the magnitude and timing fluctuate based on the timing and scope of M&A activity, and therefore, such expenses, which are not a necessary component of the ongoing operations of the Company, may not be comparable from period to period.

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