Corrections Corporation of America Announces Third Quarter Results
The third quarter results discussed below include the operating results of the former operating company that was acquired October 1, 2000, and the former service companies that were acquired December 1, 2000. As a result of these acquisitions, the operating results of the Company for the third quarter of 2001 and the third quarter of 2000 are not comparable.
For the three months ended September 30, 2001, the Company reported a net loss available to common stockholders of $5.7 million, or $0.23 per share, compared with a net loss available to common stockholders of $261.1 million, or $22.04 per share, for the prior-year three-month period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company reported a net loss available to common stockholders of $20.3 million, or $0.84 per share, compared with a net loss available to common stockholders of $378.5 million, or $31.96 per share, for the same period in 2000. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, include the effects of non-cash charges of $5.6 and $11.9 million, respectively, associated with the accounting for an interest rate swap agreement in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133. Per share results for 2000 have been retroactively restated to reflect the one-for-ten reverse stock split of the Company's common stock effective May 18, 2001.
Third quarter consolidated revenue amounted to $248.2 million. Consolidated EBITDA for the quarter was $50.2 million, while average compensated occupancy for the quarter was 88.8%.
Commenting on the results for the third quarter, President and CEO John Ferguson stated, "We are pleased with the Company's continued operational improvement. Revenue per man-day increased for the third consecutive quarter while at the same time we continued to aggressively manage costs. Looking forward, we are pursuing a number of initiatives which, if successful, should increase occupancy and return the Company to profitability."
On October 3, 2001, the Company sold its Southern Nevada Women's Correctional facility for $24.1 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the outstanding total balance under the Company's senior bank credit facility. During 2001, the Company has reduced total debt balances by approximately $186.8 million through a combination of cash generated from asset sales and working capital.
After giving consideration to conditions currently existing in the debt and capital markets, the Company has determined to seek a modification of the revolving loan portion of its senior bank credit facility to convert it into a term loan maturing December 31, 2002. The revolving loan, currently amounting to approximately $269.4 million, is due January 1, 2002. The modification and related amendment to extend the maturity will require the consent of 100% of the participants in the revolving credit portion of the senior bank credit facility, and is currently expected to require the consent of two-thirds of the lenders in the term loan portion of the senior bank credit facility.
EBITDA for the third quarter amounted to $50.2 million while debt service for the quarter, excluding non-cash items, amounted to $25.2 million. At September 30, 2001, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $33.4 million and had $50.0 million available under a working capital line of credit. The outstanding balance under the Company's senior bank credit facility has been reduced from $972.3 million on January 1, 2001, to its current balance of $794.1 million.

During the quarter, the Company successfully renewed contracts in five jurisdictions at increased rates. In addition, two prison facilities received notification of accreditation from the American Correctional Association. At September 30, 2001, approximately 77% of the Company's facilities have received ACA accreditation.
"The Company generated another solid quarter on a number of fronts," stated Ferguson. "Although this quarter's operating performance is encouraging, we also recognize that there are several objectives we must accomplish before year-end including the modification of our credit facility. We intend to work diligently with our lender group to accomplish the modification with the goal of putting permanent financing in place during the first half of next year."
The Company is the nation's largest provider of outsourced detention and corrections management services, housing an inmate population larger than that of all but five public correctional systems in the United States. The Company specializes in owning, operating and managing prisons and other correctional facilities and providing inmate residential and prisoner transportation services for governmental agencies. In addition to providing the fundamental residential services relating to inmates, each of the Company's facilities offers a variety of rehabilitation and educational programs, including basic education, life skills and employment training and substance abuse treatment. The Company also provides health care (including medical, dental and psychiatric services), institutional food services and work and recreational programs. The Company owns or manages approximately 65,000 beds in 70 facilities in the United States and Puerto Rico, with 64 facilities under contract for management containing approximately 61,000 beds, four leased facilities and two facilities under construction.
