CoreCivic Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total Revenue up 18.1% Over Prior Year QuarterMomentum Builds Amid Active Quarter Of Idle Facility Activations BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Nov. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CoreCivic, Inc. (NYSE: CXW) (CoreCivic or the Company) announced today its third quarter 2025 financial results. Financial Highlights – Third Quarter 2025 Total revenue of $580.4 million, up 18.1% from the prior year quarterNet income of $26.3 million, up 24.7% from the prior year quarterDiluted earnings per share of $0.24, up 26.3% from the prior year quarterAdjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.24, up 20.0% from the prior year quarterNormalized FFO per diluted share of $0.48, up 11.6% from the prior year quarterAdjusted EBITDA of $88.8 million, up 6.6% from the prior year quarterRepurchased 1.9 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $40.0 million Damon T. Hininger, CoreCivic's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Ongoing demand for the solutions we provide, particularly from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), contributed to a solid third quarter. Despite the prolonged federal government shutdown, as law enforcement is an essential government service, our detention populations and our revenues have been unaffected by the shutdown. We expect detainee populations to continue to grow as ICE implements its interior enforcement plan, contributing to a strong 2025. The recently announced contract awards at four facilities negatively impact our financial guidance for the fourth quarter for start-up expenses related to these contracts, but these new contracts are expected to drive our 2026 results even stronger, when we expect these facilities to achieve stabilized occupancy. Following these activations, we have five remaining idle facilities containing over 7,000 beds." Hininger continued, "We will continue to deploy capital in ways that we believe create shareholder value, especially in the current environment where our stock price is trading below historical multiples. During the third quarter, we repurchased 1.9 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $40.0 million, and expect to increase the pace of our share repurchases in future quarters." Patrick Swindle, CoreCivic's President and Chief Operating Officer, remarked, "We made substantial progress in contracting to use a significant portion of our idle facility capacity during the quarter. To date in 2025, we have been awarded contracts at five idle facilities, including four during the third quarter at per diem rates consistent with historical awards. The four new contracts effective in the third quarter are expected to generate approximately $320 million of annual revenue once the facilities achieve stabilized occupancy. We are eager to build on this success and we look forward to continuing and expanding our relationship with our government partners." Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results Compared With Third Quarter 2024 Net income in the third quarter of 2025 was $26.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared with net income in the third quarter of 2024 of $21.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share (Diluted EPS). Adjusted for special items, Adjusted Net Income for the third quarter of 2025 was $26.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share (Adjusted Diluted EPS), compared with Adjusted Net Income of $22.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Special items in the third quarter of 2025 included $1.5 million of an asset impairment, a $2.5 million gain on sale of assets, and a $0.8 million charge associated with mergers and acquisitions, including the acquisition of the Farmville Detention Center on July 1, 2025. Special items in the prior year quarter included $3.1 million of expenses associated with asset impairments and a $1.2 million gain on sale of assets. Special items are presented in detail in the calculation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS in the Supplemental Financial Information following the financial statements presented herein. The increase in Diluted EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS compared with the prior year quarter resulted from higher federal and state populations as well as higher average per diem rates across much of our portfolio. We cared for an average daily residential population of 55,236 during the third quarter of 2025 in our Safety and Community segments compared with 50,757 during the third quarter of 2024. Average occupancy during the third quarter of 2025 was 76.7% in our Safety and Community segments, compared with 75.2% during the third quarter of 2024. The number of people we care for under contracts with ICE has increased by approximately 3,700 individuals, or 36.9%, from the beginning of the year through September 30, 2025. During the third quarter of 2025, we announced a new contract award at our 600-bed West Tennessee Detention Facility, and transitioned our 2,560-bed California City Immigration Processing Center and our 1,033-bed Midwest Regional Reception Center from short-term letter agreements with ICE to new longer-term contract awards. These three facilities are currently in various stages of activation, resulting in facility net operating losses of $3.4 million during the third quarter, which negatively impacted our facility operating margin during the quarter. We began receiving detainees from ICE at the California City and West Tennessee facilities late in the third quarter, and we expect to reach stabilized occupancy during the first quarter of 2026 at both facilities. The intake process at the Midwest Regional Reception Center has been delayed by a lawsuit filed by the City of Leavenworth alleging that a Special Use Permit (SUP) is required to operate the facility. For additional information regarding these activations, see "Business Development Updates" below. During the third quarter of 2025, revenue from ICE, our largest government partner, was $215.9 million compared to $139.7 million during the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 54.6%. This increase includes revenue generated from the reactivation of our California City and West Tennessee facilities, and the acquisition of the 736-bed Farmville Detention Center. This increase also includes the reactivation of the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, where the contract was terminated effective August 9, 2024 and then reactivated effective March 5, 2025. Revenue from state customers increased 3.6% compared with the prior year quarter, with increases across many of our state partners. New contracts with the state of Montana executed in August 2024 and January 2025 and higher revenue from the state of Georgia accounted for the largest increases in revenue from state customers. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the third quarter of 2025 was $89.0 million, compared with $81.4 million in the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes special items, was $88.8 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared with $83.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increases in EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from the prior year quarter were primarily attributable to higher residential populations in our portfolio. Funds From Operations (FFO) for the third quarter of 2025 was $51.5 million, or $0.48 per share, compared with $47.1 million, or $0.42 per share, in the third quarter of 2024. Normalized FFO, which excludes special items, was $52.1 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2025, compared with $47.6 million, or $0.43 per share, in the third quarter of 2024. Normalized FFO was impacted by the same factors that affected Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by a slight increase in gross interest expense that is not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Per share amounts were also favorably impacted by a 3.1% reduction in weighted average shares outstanding compared with the prior year quarter, resulting from repurchases we made under our share repurchase program. 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. Capital Strategy Share Repurchases. Our Board of Directors (BOD) previously approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $500.0 million in the aggregate. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 5.9 million shares of common stock under the share repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $121.0 million, or $20.60 per share, excluding costs associated with the share repurchase program, including 1.9 million shares at an aggregate cost of $40.0 million during the third quarter of 2025. Since the share repurchase program was authorized in May 2022, through September 30, 2025, we have repurchased a total of 20.4 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $302.1 million, or $14.81 per share, excluding fees, commissions and other costs related to the repurchases. As of September 30, 2025, we had $197.9 million of repurchase authorization available 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 BOD 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 BOD in its discretion at any time. Acquisition of Farmville Detention Center. On July 1, 2025, we completed the acquisition of the Farmville Detention Center, a 736-bed facility constructed in 2010 and located in Farmville, Virginia. The transaction was consummated through the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests in entities that own and operate the facility, as well as the acquisition of certain assets utilized in the operation of the business. Farmville Detention Center provides transportation, care, and civil detention services to adult male noncitizens through an Intergovernmental Service Agreement (IGSA) between Prince Edward County, Virginia and ICE, which expires in March 2029. The total purchase price, amounting to $71.4 million, including the acquisition of working capital accounts, but excluding $2.0 million of transaction-related expenses, was funded with cash on hand and borrowing capacity under our revolving bank credit facility. We expect annual incremental revenue of approximately $40.0 million resulting from this acquisition. Business Development Updates West Tennessee Detention Facility. On August 14, 2025, we announced that we had been awarded a new contract under an IGSA between the City of Mason, Tennessee and ICE to resume operations at our 600-bed West Tennessee Detention Facility. The contract runs through August 2030 and may be further extended through bilateral modification. We began receiving detainees at the facility on September 8, 2025. Activation is currently expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter 2026, achieving a normalized run-rate in the second quarter of 2026. Total annual revenue once the facility is fully activated is expected to be $30 million. California City Immigration Processing Center. On September 29, 2025, we transitioned from a short-term Letter Contract and entered into a longer-term definitized contract with ICE, effective September 1, 2025 for a two-year period at our 2,560-bed California City Immigration Processing Center. We began receiving detainees at the facility on August 27, 2025. Activation is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026, achieving a normalized run-rate in the second quarter of 2026. Total annual revenue once the facility is fully activated is expected to be approximately $130 million. Midwest Regional Reception Center. On September 29, 2025, we transitioned from a short-term Letter Contract and entered into a longer-term definitized contract with ICE, effective September 7, 2025 for a two-year period at our 1,033-bed Midwest Regional Reception Center in Leavenworth, Kansas. The intake process has been delayed by a lawsuit filed by the City of Leavenworth alleging that a Special Use Permit (SUP) is required to operate the facility. In addition to filing an appeal of the temporary restraining order in the state court of appeals, we have filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging that the City's conduct constitutes ongoing violations of the United States Constitution and other federal rights. On September 23, 2025, the Department of Justice filed a Statement of Interest in the federal lawsuit, siding with CoreCivic and urging the court to enjoin the City from further interference with the federal government's use of the facility. The new agreement with ICE provides for a fixed monthly payment plus an incremental per diem payment based on detainee populations, both of which commence once the temporary injunction prohibiting the intake of detainees is no longer enforceable. Total annual revenue once the facility is fully activated is expected to be approximately $60 million. Diamondback Correctional Facility. On October 1, 2025, we announced a new contract award under an IGSA between the OKDOC and ICE to resume operations at our 2,160-bed Diamondback Correctional Facility. The new contract commenced on September 30, 2025, is for a term of five years, and may be extended through bilateral modification. We expect to begin receiving detainees in the first quarter of 2026, with stabilized occupancy estimated to be reached in the second quarter of 2026. Total annual revenue once the facility reaches stabilized occupancy is expected to be approximately $100 million. 2025 Financial Guidance Based on current business conditions, we are providing the following updated financial guidance for the full year 2025: Revised GuidanceFull Year 2025Prior GuidanceFull Year 2025 Net income $107.0 million to $113.0 million$116.4 million to $124.4 million Adjusted Net Income $108.0 million to $114.0 million$115.5 million to $123.5 million Diluted EPS $0.99 to $1.05$1.08 to $1.15 Adjusted Diluted EPS $1.00 to $1.06$1.07 to $1.14 FFO per diluted share $1.92 to $1.98$1.98 to $2.06 Normalized FFO per diluted share $1.94 to $2.00$1.99 to $2.07 EBITDA $353.7 million to $357.7 million$366.3 million to $372.3 million Adjusted EBITDA $355.0 million to $359.0 million$365.0 million to $371.0 million Compared with our prior 2025 annual guidance provided on August 6, 2025, our revised 2025 guidance reflects the favorable results for the third quarter, updated occupancy projections consistent with current trends, as well as updated assumptions for start-up activities related to the reactivation of our West Tennessee Detention Facility, our California City Immigration Processing Center, our Midwest Regional Reception Center, and our Diamondback Correctional Facility, which are all in various stages of activation. The activation of an idle facility generally requires four to six months to hire, train, and prepare the facility to accept residential populations, which, depending on contract structure, can result in additional expenses before we are able to realize additional revenue. Our revised 2025 guidance reflects a reduction in facility net operating income at these four facilities combined of $10.0 million to $11.0 million, compared with our prior guidance. During 2025, we expect to invest $29.0 million to $31.0 million in maintenance capital expenditures on real estate assets, $31.0 million to $34.0 million for maintenance capital expenditures on other assets and information technology, and $14.0 million to $15.0 million for other capital investments. Although our guidance does not include any new contract awards beyond those previously announced, we also expect to incur approximately $97.5 million to $99.5 million of capital expenditures associated with previously idled facilities we are activating and for additional potential facility activations, in order to prepare these facilities to quickly accept residential populations if opportunities arise, as well as to provide transportation services. Capital expenditures associated with activations has increased from our prior guidance primarily for requests from ICE in connection with new contract awards at the California City and Diamondback facilities.

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.
