CORECIVIC REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS

HIGHER OCCUPANCY PROPELS STRONG QUARTERLY FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

CAPITAL STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE SIGNIFICANT SHARE BUYBACK AND DEBT REFINANCING IN QUARTER

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – May 8, 2024 – CoreCivic, Inc. (NYSE: CXW) (the Company) announced today its financial results for the first quarter of 2024. Damon T. Hininger, CoreCivic’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “CoreCivic experienced a strong first quarter of 2024. Propelled by 75.2% occupancy - our highest level since the first quarter of 2020 - CoreCivic generated sturdy margins and year-over-year growth in our key metrics. Revenue increased 9% versus the first quarter of 2023, with Federal, State, and Local revenues all increasing, and our cost-management initiatives also contributed to our favorable results.”

Commenting on capital market activities for the quarter, Hininger added, “In addition to the strong quarterly financial results, we are equally pleased with the continued progress we have made on our capital structure initiatives. During the quarter, we repurchased 2.7 million shares of our common stock for $39.4 million - an acceleration over recent quarters. Also, during the quarter, we successfully issued $500 million of new senior unsecured notes, effectively refinancing and extending the term of our existing debt by roughly three years at the same rate as the senior unsecured notes that we issued in 2021, when interest rates were much lower. Even with those activities, we ended the quarter with leverage, measured as net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, at 2.7x for the trailing twelve months - placing us, for the first time, within our target leverage range of 2.25x to 2.75x that we established in August 2020. This is a significant accomplishment, and we are proud of the strategy, focus, and discipline that led us here.”

“We are thankful for our many partners. Our federal, state, and local government partners continue to trust the essential solutions CoreCivic provides, and we renewed the eight contracts that were up for renewal during the quarter - following a year in which we renewed all of the 34 contracts up for renewal. We are also thankful to our financial partners for their ongoing support, including of our recent debt refinancing.”

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results Compared With First Quarter 2023

Net income in the first quarter of 2024 was $9.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with net income in the first quarter of 2023 of $12.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. However, when adjusted for special items, adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2024 improved to $27.9 million, or $0.25 per diluted share (Adjusted Diluted EPS), compared with adjusted net income in the first quarter of 2023 of $14.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. Special items for each period are presented in detail in the calculation of Adjusted Diluted EPS in the Supplemental Financial Information following the financial statements presented herein and, most notably, included $27.2 million of expenses associated with debt repayments and refinancing transactions in the first quarter of 2024.

The increased adjusted per share amounts resulted from higher federal, state, and local populations, particularly at our facilities serving U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE), combined with lower interest expense and a decrease in shares outstanding, both resulting from our capital allocation strategy. These earnings increases were partially offset by the expiration of our lease with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections (ODC) at our North Fork Correctional Facility on June 30, 2023.

Our labor attraction and retention initiatives continue to generate positive results. The costs of registry nursing, temporary labor resources, including associated travel expenses, overtime and incentives, declined meaningfully from the prior year quarter as well as sequentially.

Revenue from ICE, our largest partner, increased significantly versus the same quarter of 2023, when Title-42 restrictions were still in effect, and ICE revenue was essentially flat versus the fourth quarter of 2023. Under Title 42, which ended May 11, 2023, asylum-seekers and anyone crossing the border without proper documentation or authority were denied entry at the United States border to contain the spread of COVID-19. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, revenue from ICE was $153.8 million compared to $130.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $62.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes special items, was $89.5 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $73.7 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was attributable to an increase in occupancy, combined with a general reduction in temporary staffing incentives and related labor costs, partially offset by the expiration of the lease with the ODC at the North Fork facility.

Funds From Operations (FFO) for the first quarter of 2024 was $33.9 million. Normalized FFO, which excludes special items, increased to $52.6 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $38.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2023, representing an increase in Normalized FFO per share of 35%. Normalized FFO was impacted by the same factors that affected Adjusted EBITDA, further improved by a reduction in interest expense resulting from our debt reduction strategy that is not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA, as well as a 2% reduction in weighted average shares outstanding compared with the prior year quarter.

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 the 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

Share Repurchases. On May 12, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our common stock. On August 2, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in our share repurchase program of up to an additional $75.0 million in shares of our common stock, or a total of up to $225.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased 2.7 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $39.4 million, excluding fees, commissions and other costs related to the repurchases. Since the share repurchase program was authorized, through March 31, 2024, we have repurchased a total of 12.8 million shares at an aggregate price of $152.0 million, or $11.87 per share, excluding fees, commissions and other costs related to the repurchases.

As of March 31, 2024, we had $73.0 million remaining under the share repurchase program. Additional repurchases of common stock will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made at management’s discretion within parameters set by the Board of Directors from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The share repurchase program has no time limit and does not obligate us to purchase any particular amount of our common stock. The authorization for the share repurchase program may be terminated, suspended, increased or decreased by our Board of Directors in its discretion at any time.

Debt Refinancing. On March 12, 2024, we announced the completion of an underwritten registered public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 8.250% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the 2029 Notes). The net proceeds from the offering of the 2029 Notes, amounting to $490.3 million, together with borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand, were used to fund the tender offering for, and subsequent redemption of, the 8.250% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the 2026 Notes), which had an outstanding principal balance of $593.1 million. Note holders with an aggregate principal amount of $494.3 million, or 83.3% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes then-outstanding, tendered their notes by the expiration date on March 11, 2024, and on April 15, 2024, we redeemed the remaining $98.8 million principal balance outstanding.

California City Correctional Center. As previously disclosed, the lease with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation at our 2,560-bed California City Correctional Center expired on March 31, 2024, and was not renewed. The facility was idled effective April 1, 2024. Rental revenue at this facility was $8.5 million and $31.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. Facility net operating income at the facility was $7.2 million and $25.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. As a result, although we are

marketing the facility to potential customers, we expect per share results to decline by approximately $0.06 per share during the second quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2024, and by approximately $0.15 to $0.16 per share for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared with the year ended December 31, 2023. The impact of this lease expiration has been, and continues to be, included in our 2024 financial guidance.

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, security analysts, and other interested parties 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. As a company with extensive real estate holdings, we believe FFO and FFO per share are important supplemental measures of our operating performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs and other real estate operating companies, many of which present FFO and FFO per share when reporting results. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and FFO are useful as supplemental measures of performance of the Company’s properties because such measures do not take into account depreciation and amortization, or with respect to EBITDA, the impact of the Company’s tax provisions and financing strategies. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), this accounting presentation assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes at a level rate over time. Because of the unique structure, design and use of the Company’s properties, management believes that assessing performance of the Company’s properties without the impact of depreciation or amortization is useful. The Company may make adjustments to FFO from time to time for certain other income and expenses that it considers non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, even though such items may require cash settlement, because such items do not reflect a necessary or ordinary component of the ongoing operations of the Company. Normalized FFO excludes the effects of such items. The Company calculates Adjusted Net Income by adding to GAAP Net Income expenses associated with the Company’s debt repayments and refinancing transactions, and certain impairments and other charges that the Company believes are unusual or non-recurring to provide an alternative measure of comparing operating performance for the periods presented.

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