CoreCivic Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results
CoreCivic (NYSE: CXW) reported strong Q4 2024 financial results with total revenue of $479.3 million and net income of $19.3 million. Full-year 2024 performance included total revenue of $2.0 billion and net income of $68.9 million. The company achieved its highest occupancy level since Q1 2020 at 75.5%.
Notable developments include a new contract with Montana for additional inmates and facility investments of $40-45 million for potential activations. The company's ICE revenue decreased 21.6% in Q4 2024 compared to Q4 2023, primarily due to the South Texas facility contract termination. However, state customer revenue increased 6.4%.
For 2025, CoreCivic projects net income between $53.5-67.5 million and EBITDA of $281.0-293.0 million. The company continued its share repurchase program, buying back 4.4 million shares in 2024 for $68.5 million, with $168.9 million remaining under the authorization.

I fatturati da ICE dell'azienda sono diminuiti del 21,6% nel quarto trimestre del 2024 rispetto al quarto trimestre del 2023, principalmente a causa della rescissione del contratto con l'impianto del South Texas. Tuttavia, il fatturato dei clienti statali è aumentato del 6,4%.

주목할 만한 발전 사항으로는 몬태나주와의 추가 수감자 계약과 잠재적 활성화를 위한 시설 투자 4천만~4천 500만 달러가 포함됩니다. ICE의 수익은 2024년 4분기에 2023년 4분기 대비 21.6% 감소했으며, 이는 주로 남부 텍사스 시설 계약 해지로 인한 것입니다. 그러나 주 고객의 수익은 6.4% 증가했습니다.

Damon T. Hininger, CoreCivic's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We closed 2024 with strong financial performance. We look forward to the future, which we anticipate will be a period of accelerated demand from our federal, state, and local government partners. CoreCivic is exceptionally well-positioned to meet this growing demand given our readily available capacity and our strong balance sheet."
"CoreCivic has been in contact with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. Marshals Service in preparation for their increased secure bed needs. Given the change in presidential administration, including key leadership positions within the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice, as well as the swearing in of new members of Congress, both the establishment of federal funding and the formal facility contracting process for additional beds lie ahead of us. In preparation, we have approved
"The new year is just underway, and the landscape is already changing in ways that are likely to positively impact our business," Hininger continued. "As the new administration modifies immigration policy and enacts new legislation, we expect the demand for our services to grow. On day one, the Trump administration reversed an executive order issued early in the previous administration that placed restrictions on contracts with privately operated criminal detention facilities. Further, the Trump administration also reversed certain immigration policies of the previous administration and directed the Secretary of Homeland Security to acquire all available detention beds usable for the detention of deportable migrants. At the same time, many state and local governments are also in need of our solutions, evidenced most recently by an additional contract award from the state of Montana."
Patrick Swindle, CoreCivic's President and Chief Operating Officer remarked, "CoreCivic's financial results for the fourth quarter of 2024 exceeded both our internal forecast and analyst estimates, resulting from both cost management initiatives and increased occupancy, which reached
Swindle continued, "CoreCivic's balance sheet remains strong, and we are pleased with the continued execution of our capital strategy, ending the quarter with leverage, measured as net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, at 2.3x for the trailing twelve months. In recognition of our earnings outlook, we also resumed share repurchases, which we had de-prioritized in June of 2024, upon receipt of the contract termination notice at the South Texas Family Residential Center."
Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results Compared With Fourth Quarter 2023
Net income in the fourth quarter of 2024 was
The decrease in Diluted EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS compared with the prior year resulted from the expiration of our lease with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) at our California City Correctional Center on March 31, 2024, as well as the termination of our contract with ICE at the South Texas Family Residential Center effective August 9, 2024, which collectively accounted for a
Increasing facility occupancy combined with cost management initiatives continued to drive positive financial results and operating performance. Labor attraction and retention expenses, particularly those associated with temporary labor resources, including associated travel expenses, overtime and incentives, declined meaningfully from the fourth quarter of 2023.

Contract Update
New Management Contract with State of Montana. On January 16, 2025, we announced that we were awarded a new management contract with the state of Montana to care for additional inmates outside the state of Montana, with 120 inmates having arrived at our 2,672-bed Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility in Tutwiler, Mississippi during January 2025. During January 2025, we also received an additional 120 Montana inmates at our 1,896-bed Saguaro Correctional Facility in Eloy, Arizona, under an existing contract with the state of Montana. The base term of the new management contract with the state of Montana runs through December 31, 2026. Upon mutual agreement, the contract provides extension options in two-year intervals, or in any interval that is advantageous to the State, so long as the contract and any renewals do not exceed a total of seven years. Notably, this contract increases the geographic range of CoreCivic facilities that can serve the state of Montana.
2025 Financial Guidance
Based on current business conditions, we are providing the following financial guidance for the full year 2025:
| Full Year 2025 | |

Compared with 2024, our guidance reflects a reduction in facility net operating income in the aggregate of
Consistent with our past practice, our guidance does not include the impact of any new contract awards not previously announced. However, we do expect to execute multiple new contracts during 2025 and will revise guidance throughout the year as new contracts are signed. Although we can provide no assurance, based on modified immigration policies of the new administration, as well as newly enacted legislation pertaining to illegal immigrants requiring the utilization of detention for certain criminal violations, we expect new contracts to require the activation of one or more idle facilities. The activation of an idle facility generally requires four to six months to hire, train, and prepare the facility to accept residential populations, which could result in substantial expenses before we are able to realize additional revenue. To the extent any new contract requires the activation of an idle facility, our guidance will likely be negatively impacted by these start-up expenses until the revenue we generate offsets these expenses. Therefore, any idle facility activations in the current year would likely be more favorably impactful in 2026.
During 2025, we expect to invest

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.
