NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

SEPTEMBER 30, 20172022

 

1.

ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

1.
ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

CoreCivic, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company" or "CoreCivic") is one of the nation's largest ownersowner of partnership correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities and one of the largest prison operators in the United States.States ("U.S."). The Company also believes it is the largest private owner of real estate used by government agencies in the U.S. Through three business offerings, segments, CoreCivic Safety, CoreCivic Properties,Community, and CoreCivic Community,Properties, the Company provides a broad range of solutions to government partners that serve the public good through high-quality corrections and detention management, innovative and cost-saving government real estate solutions, and a growing network of residential reentry centers to help address America's recidivism crisis.crisis, and government real estate solutions. As of September 30, 2017,2022, through its CoreCivic owned and managed 67 correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities, and managed an additional sevenSafety segment, the Company operated 45 correctional and detention facilities, 40 of which the Company owned, by its government partners, with a total design capacity of approximately 77,600 beds in 19 states.68,000 beds. Through its CoreCivic Community segment, the Company owned and operated 24 residential reentry centers with a total design capacity of approximately 5,000 beds. In addition, as of September 30, 2017,through its CoreCivic Properties segment, the Company owned 128 properties leasedfor lease to third-partiesthird parties and used by government agencies, totaling 1.11.8 million square feet in five states.feet.

In addition to providing fundamental residential services, CoreCivic's correctional, detention, and reentry facilities offer a variety of rehabilitation and educational programs, including basic education, faith-based services, life skills and employment training, and substance abuse treatment. These services are intended to help reduce recidivism and to prepare offenders for their successful reentry into society upon their release. CoreCivic also provides or makes available to offenders certain health care (including medical, dental, and mental health services), food services, and work and recreational programs.

2.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CoreCivic began operating as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") effective January 1, 2013.  The Company provides correctional services and conducts other business activities through taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"). A TRS is a subsidiary of a REIT that is subject to applicable corporate income tax and certain qualification requirements. The Company's use of TRSs enables CoreCivic to comply with REIT qualification requirements while providing correctional services at facilities it owns and at facilities owned by its government partners, and to engage in certain other business operations.  A TRS is not subject to the distribution requirements applicable to REITs so it may retain income generated by its operations for reinvestment.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for the unaudited interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year. Reference is made to the audited financial statements of CoreCivic included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 20162021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 23, 2017 (File No. 001-16109)18, 2022 (the "2016"2021 Form 10-K") with respect to certain significant accounting and financial reporting policies as well as other pertinent information of the Company.

Risks and Uncertainties

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014,On January 26, 2021, President Biden issued the Financial Accounting Standards BoardExecutive Order on Reforming Our Incarceration System to Eliminate the Use of Privately Operated Criminal Detention Facilities ("FASB"Private Prison EO") issued Accounting Standards Update. The Private Prison EO directs the Attorney General to not renew United States Department of Justice ("ASU"DOJ") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which establishes a single, comprehensive revenue recognition standard for all contracts with customers. For public reporting entities such as CoreCivic, ASU 2014-09 was originally effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoptionprivately operated criminal detention facilities. Two agencies of the ASU wasDOJ, the United States Marshals Service ("USMS") and the Federal Bureau of Prisons ("BOP"), utilize CoreCivic's services. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facilities are not permitted.  In July 2015,covered by the FASB agreed to defer the effective datePrivate Prison EO, as ICE is an agency of the ASU for public reporting entities by one year,Department of Homeland Security ("DHS"), not the DOJ, although it is possible that the federal government could choose to take similar action on ICE facilities in the future. CoreCivic currently has two detention facilities that have direct contracts with the USMS that expire in September 2023 and September 2025. The facility with the contract expiring in September 2023 services a substantial number of USMS detainees that the Company believes will be challenging to replace, and the Company intends to work with the USMS to enable it to continue to fulfill its mission. However, the Company can provide no assurance that this contract will be renewed or replaced upon expiration. It is too early to interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early adoption is now allowed aspredict the outcome of the original effectiveexpiration of the contract scheduled to expire in September 2025, and future developments could occur prior to the scheduled expiration date for public companies.  In summary,.

6


As a result of the core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amountPrivate Prison EO, the Company expects that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. Companies are allowed to select between two transition methods: (1) a full retrospective transition methodCoreCivic's management contract with the applicationBOP at the McRae Correctional Facility will not be renewed when it expires in November 2022. As further described in Note 4, the Company completed the sale of the McRae facility in August 2022 to the Georgia Building Authority, and entered into an agreement to lease the facility through November 2022 to allow the Company to fulfill its obligations to the BOP. During 2021, the Company had four direct contracts with the USMS that expired and were not renewed. At one of these facilities, the Company entered into a new guidance to each prior reporting period presented, or (2)contract with a modified retrospective transition method that recognizes the cumulative effect on prior periods at the date of adoption together with additional footnote disclosures.  CoreCivic will adopt the standard when effective in its fiscal year 2018 and expectslocal government agency to utilize the modified retrospective transition method upon adoptionbeds previously contracted by the USMS. The local government agency is responsible for County inmates and federal detainees, including USMS detainees, and the County is using the facility to address its population needs.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its analysisEmerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the various contracts and revenue streams, but doesSEC applicable to financial statements beginning January 1, 2022 or later did not,


currently expect the adoption of the ASU or are not expected to, have a material impacteffect on the Company's results of operations or financial position and its related financial statement disclosure.  position.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (ASC 842)", which requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current accounting requirements.  ASU 2016-02 also eliminates current real estate-specific provisions for all entities.  For lessors, the ASU modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases.  For public reporting entities such as CoreCivic, guidance in ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption of the ASU is permitted.  Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements.  CoreCivic is currently planning to adopt the ASU when effective in its fiscal year 2019.  CoreCivic does not currently expect that the new standard will have a material impact on its financial statements, but expects that it will result in an increase in its long-term assets and liabilities for leases where the Company is the lessee.  

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting", that changes certain aspects of accounting for share-based payments to employees.  ASU 2016-09 requires all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled.  The new ASU also allows an employer to repurchase more of an employee's shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting, and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures.  Companies are required to elect whether to account for forfeitures of share-based payments by (1) recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur, or (2) estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is likely to change, as previously required.  For public reporting entities such as CoreCivic, guidance in ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption of the ASU is permitted.  All of the guidance in the ASU must be adopted in the same period.  CoreCivic adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2017, opting to estimate the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is likely to change, as was previously required.  The amendments in ASU 2016-09 were applied prospectively and the Company's financial statements for prior periods were not adjusted.  Adoption of the ASU resulted in a $1.0 million income tax benefit recognized by the Company in the first nine months of 2017.  The new standard will continue to have an impact on the Company's financial statements whenever the vested value of the awards differs from the grant-date fair value of such awards.  

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business", that provides guidance to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities ("set") is a business.  Under the new guidance, an entity first determines whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets.  If this threshold is met, the set is not a business.  If the threshold is not met, the entity then evaluates whether the set meets the requirement that a business include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs.  The new ASU provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business.  For public reporting entities such as CoreCivic, guidance in ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years, and is to be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring within the period of adoption.  Early adoption of the ASU is allowed for transactions that occur before the issuance date or effective date of the ASU, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance.  CoreCivic early adopted ASU 2017-01 in the first quarter of 2017.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test of Goodwill Impairment", that eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by performing a hypothetical application of the acquisition method as of the date of the impairment test to measure a goodwill impairment charge.  This requirement is the second step in the annual two-step quantitative impairment test that is currently required under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other".  Instead, entities will recognize an impairment charge based on the first step of the quantitative impairment test currently required, which is the measurement of the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value.  Entities will still have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary.  For public reporting entities such as CoreCivic, guidance in ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those years.  Early adoption of the ASU is allowed for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates on or after January 1, 2017.  CoreCivic is reviewing the ASU to determine the potential impact it might have on the Company's results of operations or financial position and its related financial statement disclosure.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

To meet the reporting requirements of ASCAccounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 825, "Financial Instruments", regarding fair value of financial instruments, CoreCivic calculates the estimated fair value of financial instruments using market interest rates, quoted market prices of similar instruments, or discounted cash flow techniques with observable Level 1 inputs for publicly traded debt and Level 2 inputs for


all other financial instruments, as defined in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement". At September 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016,2021, there were no material differences between the carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of CoreCivic's financial instruments, other than as follows (in thousands):

Revenue Recognition – Multiple-Element Arrangement

In September 2014, CoreCivic agreed under an expansion of an existing inter-governmental service agreement ("IGSA") between the city of Eloy, Arizona and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") to provide residential space and services at the South Texas Family Residential Center.  The IGSA was further amended in October 2016.  The IGSA qualifies as a multiple-element arrangement under the guidance in ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition".  CoreCivic determined that there were five distinct elements related to the amended IGSA with ICE.  In the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, CoreCivic recognized $42.5 million and $71.3 million, respectively, in revenue associated with the amended IGSA while $127.6 million and $212.8 million in revenue was recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The unrecognized balance of the fixed monthly payments is reported in deferred revenue.  The current portion of deferred revenue is reflected within accounts payable and accrued expenses while the long-term portion is reflected in deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, total deferred revenue associated with this agreement amounted to $56.8 million and $67.0 million, respectively.

Under the provisions of ASC 350,ASU 2017-04, CoreCivic performs a qualitative assessment that may allow it to skip the annual two-step impairment test.  Under ASC 350, a company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

As of September 30, 2022, CoreCivic also has twohad one idled non-core facility in its Safety segment containing 240 beds with a net book value of $3.0 million, and three idled facilities in its Community segment (one of which is held for sale), containing 440an aggregate of 650 beds with an aggregate net book value of $4.1$5.1 million.

CoreCivic incurred approximately $3.3 million and $2.5 million in operating expenses at thethese idled facilities of approximately $2.9 million and $2.0 million during the period they were idle for the three months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, respectively. CoreCivic incurred approximately $8.6 million and $6.6 million in operating expenses at thethese idled facilities of approximately $7.6 million and $6.0 million during the period they were idle for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, respectively.

CoreCivic considersThe amount for the cancellationnine months ended September 30, 2022 excludes $3.5 million of operating expenses incurred at the West Tennessee Detention Facility and the Leavenworth Detention Center during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The West Tennessee facility was idled upon the expiration of a USMS contract ason September 30, 2021, and the Leavenworth facility was idled upon the expiration of a USMS contract on December 31, 2021. Although recently idled, CoreCivic retained a certain staffing level at both facilities during the first three months of 2022 in order to quickly respond in the event the Company was able to enter into new contracts with government agencies promptly following the contract expirations. The Company also continued to incur expenses related to transportation services provided by staff at the Leavenworth facility during the first three months of 2022.

The Company estimated undiscounted cash flows for each facility with an impairment indicator, of impairment and tested eachincluding the idle facilities described above. The Company’s estimated undiscounted cash flows reflect the Company’s most recent expectations around potential utilization and/or sale of the idled facilities and projected cash flows based on historical cash flows, cash flows of comparable facilities, and recent contract negotiations for impairment when it was notified byutilization. The Company concluded that the respective customers that they would no longer be utilizing such facility.  CoreCivic updates the impairment analyses on an annual basisestimated undiscounted cash flows exceeded carrying values for each facility as of the idled facilitiesSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

As a result of declines in federal populations at the Company's 910-bed Torrance County Detention Facility and 1,129-bed Cibola County Corrections Center, during the third quarter of 2017, CoreCivic made the decision to consolidate offender populations into its Cibola facility in order to take advantage of efficiencies gained by consolidating populations into one facility.  CoreCivic idled the Torrance facility in the fourth quarter of 2017 following the transfer of the offender population, and has begun to market the facility to other potential customers.  The Company can provide no assurance that it will be successful in securing a replacement contract.  CoreCivic performed an impairment analysis of the Torrance facility, which had a net carrying value of $37.0 million as of September 30, 2017, and concluded that this asset has a recoverable value in excess of the carrying value.

Because the performance criteria for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2023 and 2024 have not yet been established, the values of the third RSU increment of the 2021 awards and of the second and third increments of the 2022 awards for financial reporting purposes will not be determined until such criteria are established.Time-based RSUs issued to other employees, in 2016 and 2017, unless earlier vested under the terms of the agreements, generally vest equallyin equal amounts over three years on the first, second, and thirdlater of (i) the anniversary date of the award.  Time-based RSUs issued to other employees in 2015, unless earlier vested undergrant or (ii) the termsdelivery of the agreements, "cliff" vest onaudited financial statements by the third anniversary ofCompany’s independent registered public accountant for the award.applicable fiscal year. RSUs issued to non-employee directors generally vest one year from the date of award.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017,2022, CoreCivic expensed $4.1$2.0 million, net of forfeitures, relating to RSUs ($0.50.3 million of which was recorded in operating expenses and $3.6$1.7 million of which was recorded in general and administrative expenses). During the three months ended September 30, 2016,2021, CoreCivic expensed $6.2$5.1 million, net of forfeitures, relating to restricted common stock and RSUs ($0.4 million of which was recorded in operating expenses $4.1and $4.7 million of which was recorded in general and administrative expenses, and $1.7 million of which was recorded in restructuring charges)expenses).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2022, CoreCivic expensed $12.2$11.7 million, net of forfeitures, relating to RSUs ($1.51.1 million of which was recorded in operating expenses and $10.7$10.6 million of which was recorded in general and administrative expenses).

EARNINGS PER SHARE

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. For CoreCivic, diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares after considering the additional dilution related to restricted share grantsstock-based awards, stock options, and stock options.Operating Partnership Units.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted earnings per share computation is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The nature of CoreCivic's business results in claims and litigation alleging that it is liable for damages arising from the conduct of its employees, offenders or others. The nature of such claims includes, but is not limited to, claims arising from employee or offender misconduct, medical malpractice, employment matters, property loss, contractual claims, including claims regarding compliance with contract performance requirements, and personal injury or other damages resulting from contact with CoreCivic's facilities, personnel or offenders, including damages arising from an offender's escape or from a disturbance at a facility. CoreCivic maintains insurance to cover many of these claims, which may mitigate the risk that any single claim would have a material effect on CoreCivic's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, provided the claim is one for which coverage is available. The combination of self-insured retentions and deductible amounts means that, in the aggregate, CoreCivic is subject to substantial self-insurance risk.

CoreCivic records litigation reserves related to certain matters for which it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the range of such loss can be estimated.  15


Based upon management's review of the potential claims and outstanding litigation, and based upon management's experience and history of estimating losses, and taking into consideration CoreCivic's self-insured retention amounts, management believes a loss in excess of amounts already recognized would not be material to CoreCivic's financial statements. In the opinion of management, there are no pending legal proceedings that would have a material effect on CoreCivic's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.  Any receivable for insurance recoveries is recorded separately from the corresponding litigation reserve, and only if recovery is determined to be probable.  Adversarial proceedings and litigation are, however, subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable decisions and rulings resulting from legal proceedings could occur which could have a material adverse impact on CoreCivic's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for the period in which such decisions or rulings occur, or future periods. Expenses associated with legal proceedings may also fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on changes in CoreCivic's assumptions, new developments, or by the effectiveness of CoreCivic's litigation and settlement strategies.

INCOME TAXES

As discussedCoreCivic records a liability in Note 1,the consolidated financial statements for loss contingencies when a loss is known or considered probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. When determining the estimated loss or range of loss, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded. Any receivable for insurance recoveries is recorded separately from the corresponding litigation reserve, and only if recovery is determined to be probable and the amount of payment can be determined. CoreCivic does not accrue for anticipated legal fees and costs and expenses those items as incurred.

ICE Detainee Labor and Related Matters.

On May 31, 2017, two former ICE detainees, who were detained at the Company's Otay Mesa Detention Center ("OMDC") in San Diego, California, filed a class action lawsuit against the Company began operating in compliancethe United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The complaint alleged that the Company forces detainees to perform labor under threat of punishment in violation of state and federal anti-trafficking laws and that OMDC’s Voluntary Work Program ("VWP") violates state labor laws including state minimum wage law. ICE requires that CoreCivic offer and operate the VWP in conformance with REIT requirementsICE standards and ICE prescribes the minimum rate of pay for federal income tax purposes effective JanuaryVWP participants. The Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, exemplary damages, restitution, penalties, and interest as well as declaratory and injunctive relief on behalf of former and current detainees. On April 1, 2013.2020, the district court certified a nationwide anti-trafficking claims class of former and current detainees at all CoreCivic ICE detention facilities. It also certified a state law class of former and current detainees at the Company's ICE detention facilities in California. The court did not certify any claims for injunctive or declaratory relief. On March 10, 2021, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals granted CoreCivic's petition to appeal the class certification ruling. On June 3, 2022, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit affirmed the class certification ruling. Following the three-judge panel affirmance, the Company petitioned the Ninth Circuit for a discretionary appellate review, and the Company currently awaits a ruling on the petition for such review. Since this case was filed, four similar lawsuits have been filed. A Maryland case was dismissed on September 27, 2019, and the dismissal was affirmed on appeal. Two suits filed in Georgia and Texas do not allege minimum wage violations; and the Texas case was voluntarily dismissed on March 14, 2022, while the Georgia case is still ongoing. A second California suit concerning the Otay Mesa facility has been stayed pending the outcome of class proceedings in the first. The Company disputes these allegations and intends to take all necessary steps to vigorously defend itself against all claims.

Due to the stage of this proceeding, the Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome, nor can it estimate the amount of loss or range of loss, if any, that may result. As a REIT,result, the Company must distributehas not recorded an accrual relating to this matter at least 90 percentthis time, as losses are not considered probable or reasonably estimable at this stage of these lawsuits.

Securities and Derivative Litigation.

In a memorandum to the BOP dated August 18, 2016, the DOJ directed that, as each contract with privately operated prisons reaches the end of its taxable income (including dividends paidterm, the BOP should either decline to it byrenew that contract or substantially reduce its TRSs)scope in a manner consistent with law and will not pay federal income taxesthe overall decline of the BOP's inmate population. Following the release of the August 18, 2016 DOJ memorandum, a securities class action lawsuit was filed on the amount distributed to its stockholders.  In addition,August 23, 2016 against the Company must meetand certain of its current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee (the "District Court"), captioned Grae v. Corrections Corporation of America et al., Case No. 3:16-cv-02267. The Company settled this lawsuit in April 2021. The settlement, which was approved by the District Court on November 8, 2021, contains no admission of liability, wrongdoing, or responsibility by any of the defendants including the Company. The Company paid the settlement amount of $56.0 million in May 2021. As a numberresult of other organizationalthe settlement, the Company recognized an expense of $54.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 (all of which was recognized in the first six months of 2021), which was net of the remaining insurance available under the Company’s policies.

The Company is also named along with several of its directors in six derivative lawsuits which raise similar allegations to those raised in the Grae securities litigation, which are currently stayed by agreement of the parties. While the Company believes these lawsuits are entirely without merit, the Company acknowledges the costs and operational requirements. It is management's intentionrisks of extensive and complex litigation regarding these matters are substantial and subject to adhere to these requirementsan unpredictable outcome. On June 17, 2022, the Company and maintainderivative plaintiffs informed the Company's REIT status. Most states where CoreCivic holds investments in real estate conformDistrict Court that the parties had reached an agreement as to the federal rules recognizing REITs. Certain subsidiaries have madeplaintiffs' attorneys' fees and expenses. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company recognized an electionadditional expense of $1.9 million to reflect its estimate of the probable liability associated with these matters. On September 19, 2022, the District Court issued an order (the "Preliminary Order") providing for preliminary approval of the proposed settlement of the claims asserted nominally on behalf of the Company against the individual defendants named in the previously disclosed stockholder derivative action. The settlement calls for the Company to be treatedadopt certain governance changes and to pay plaintiff’s counsel $3.5 million in attorneys’ fees. The Preliminary Order set a final settlement approval hearing for December 1, 2022. Considering amounts previously recognized for these matters, the Company had adequately accrued for this liability as TRSs in conjunction with the Company's REIT election; the TRS elections permit CoreCivic to engage in certain business activities in which the REIT may not engage directly. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities and therefore, CoreCivic includes a provision for taxes in its consolidated financial statements.of September 30, 2022.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 740, "Income Taxes". ASC 740 generally requires CoreCivic to record deferred income taxes for the tax effect of differences between book and tax bases of its assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes reflect the available net operating losses and the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Realization of the future tax benefits related to deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including CoreCivic's past earnings history, expected future earnings, the character and jurisdiction of such earnings, unsettled circumstances that, if unfavorably resolved, would adversely affect utilization of its deferred tax assets, carryback and carryforward periods, and tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of realization of a deferred tax asset.

The Company operated in compliance with real estate investment trust ("REIT") requirements for federal income tax purposes from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2020. During the years the Company elected REIT status, the Company was required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income (including dividends paid to it by its taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs")) and did not pay federal income taxes on the amount distributed to its stockholders. In addition, the Company was required to meet a number of other organizational and operational requirements, which the Company continued to meet through the year ended December 31, 2020. Most states where CoreCivic holds investments in real estate conform to the federal rules recognizing REITs. Certain subsidiaries made an election with the Company to be treated as TRSs in conjunction with the Company's REIT election. The TRS elections permitted CoreCivic to engage in certain business activities in which the REIT could not engage directly. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities and therefore, CoreCivic included a provision for taxes in its consolidated financial statements even during periods it operated as a REIT.

On August 5, 2020, the Company announced that the BOD unanimously approved a plan to revoke its REIT election and become a taxable C Corporation, effective January 1, 2021. As a result, the Company is no longer required to operate under REIT rules, including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders, which provides the Company with greater flexibility to use its free cash flow. Effective January 1, 2021, the Company became subject to federal and state income taxes on its taxable income at applicable tax rates and is no longer entitled to a tax deduction for dividends paid.

CoreCivic recorded an income tax expense of $2.7$24.2 million and $1.6$8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016, respectively.2021, respectively, which increased largely as a result of tax expense associated with the gain on sale of real estate assets in the third quarter of 2022. CoreCivic recorded an income tax expense of $8.4$34.9 million and $5.4$128.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, respectively. AsIncome tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included $114.2 million primarily resulting from the revaluation of the Company's net deferred tax liabilities due to the completion of all significant actions necessary to revoke its REIT election. No catch-up tax payments or penalties resulted from the revocation of the Company's REIT election.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferral of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The accelerated depreciation methods for qualified improvement property significantly reduced the Company's taxable income and, therefore, its distribution requirement as a REIT CoreCivic is entitled to a deduction for dividends2020. During 2020, the Company deferred payment of $29.6 million of employer-side social security payments. Half of this deferred amount was paid resulting in a substantial reductionDecember 2021 while the remaining deferred amount was paid in September 2022.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Inflation Reduction Act”) was signed into law on August 16, 2022. Among other provisions, such act creates an excise tax of 1% on the amountfair value of federal incomenet stock repurchases in excess of share issuances made by publicly traded U.S. corporations, effective for repurchases after December 31, 2022.

Income Tax Contingencies

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance prescribed in ASC 740 establishes a recognition threshold of more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. The measurement attribute requires that a tax position be measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

CoreCivic had no liabilities recorded for uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2017.2022 and December 31, 2021. CoreCivic recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. CoreCivic does not currently anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax positions will significantly change in the next twelve months.

In addition, CoreCivic owned 12and operated 24 residential reentry centers and owned 8 properties that it leasedfor lease to third-parties.third parties. Management views CoreCivic's operating results in onethree operating segment.  However, the Company has chosen to report financial performance segregated for (1) ownedsegments, CoreCivic Safety, CoreCivic Community, and managed facilities and (2) managed-only facilities as the Company believes this information is useful to users of the financial statements.  Owned and managed facilities includeCoreCivic Properties. CoreCivic Safety includes the operating results of those correctional and detention facilities placed into service that were owned, or controlled via a long-term lease, and managed by CoreCivic.  Managed-only facilities include the operating results ofCoreCivic, as well as those correctional and detention facilities owned by a third party and managed by CoreCivic. CoreCivic Safety also includes the operating results of TransCor America, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company that provides transportation services to governmental agencies. CoreCivic Community includes the operating results of those residential reentry centers placed into service that were owned, or controlled via a long-term lease, and managed by CoreCivic. CoreCivic Community also includes the operating results of the Company's electronic monitoring and case management services. CoreCivic Properties includes the operating results of those properties leased to third parties. The operating performance of the owned and managed and the managed-only facilitiesthree segments can be measured based on their net operating income.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

11.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 13, 2017, CoreCivic completed the offering of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes due October 15, 2027 (the "4.75% Senior Notes").  Interest on the 4.75% Senior Notes accrues at the stated rate and is payable in April and October of each year.  CoreCivic expects to capitalize approximately $4.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2017 for costs associated with the new issuance of the 4.75% Senior Notes, and will present the unamortized balance of the debt issuance costs in the Company's consolidated balance sheets in a manner consistent with those related to the Company's other Senior Notes.  CoreCivic used net proceeds from the offering to pay down a portion of the $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility and to pay related fees and expenses.  

On November 1, 2017, CoreCivic completed the acquisition of Time to Change, Inc., a Colorado-based community corrections company, for an aggregate purchase price of $13.2 million, excluding transaction related expenses, with the potential for additional contingent consideration currently estimated to be $9.0 million, subject to change based upon future financial performance of the acquisition.  In connection with the acquisition, CoreCivic assumed contracts with Adams County, Colorado to provide reentry services to male and female adults in three facilities located in Colorado containing a total of 422 beds.

OVERVIEW

The Company

We are a diversified government solutions company with the scale and experience needed to solve tough government challenges in flexible, cost-effective ways. Through three business offerings,segments, CoreCivic Safety, CoreCivic Properties,Community, and CoreCivic Community,Properties, we provide a broad range of solutions to government partners that serve the public good through high-quality corrections and detention management, innovative and cost-saving government real estate solutions, and a growing network of residential reentry centers to help address America's recidivism crisis.crisis, and government real estate solutions. We have been a flexible and dependable partner for government for more than 30nearly 40 years. Our employees are driven by a deep sense of service, high standards of professionalism and a responsibility to help government better the public good.

Structured as a REIT, weWe are one of the nation's largest ownersowner of partnership correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities and one of the largest prison operators in the United States. We also believe we are the largest private owner of real estate used by government agencies in the U.S. As of September 30, 2017,2022, through our CoreCivic Safety segment, we owned and managed 67 correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities, and managed an additional sevenoperated 45 correctional and detention facilities, 40 of which we owned, by our government partners, with a total design capacity of approximately 77,600 beds in 19 states.68,000 beds. Through our CoreCivic Community segment, we owned and operated 24 residential reentry centers with a total design capacity of approximately 5,000 beds. In addition, as of September 30, 2017,through our CoreCivic Properties segment, we owned 128 properties leasedfor lease to third-partiesthird parties and used by government agencies, totaling 1.11.8 million square feet in five states.  feet.

In addition to providing fundamental residential services, our correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities offer a variety of rehabilitation and educational programs, including basic education, faith-based services, life skills and employment training, and substance abuse treatment. These services are intended to help reduce recidivism and to prepare offenders for their successful reentry into society upon their release. We also provide or make available to offenders certain health care (including medical, dental, and mental health services), food services, and work and recreational programs.

We are a Maryland corporation formed in 1983. Our principal executive offices are located at 10 Burton Hills Boulevard, Nashville,5501 Virginia Way, Brentwood, Tennessee, 37215,37027, and our telephone number at that location is (615) 263-3000. Our website address is www.corecivic.com.www.corecivic.com. We make our annual reportsAnnual Reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reportsQuarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, current reportsCurrent Reports on Form 8-K, definitive proxy statements, and amendments to those reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, available on our website, free of charge, as soon as reasonably practicable after these reports are filed with or furnished to the SEC. Information contained on our website is not part of this report.  Quarterly Report.

We began operatingoperated as a REIT effectivefrom January 1, 2013.  We provide correctional2013 through December 31, 2020. As a REIT, we provided services and conductconducted other business activities through taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs. A TRS is a subsidiary of a REIT that is subject to applicable corporate income tax rates and certain qualification requirements. Our use of TRSs enablesenabled us to comply with REIT qualification requirements while providing correctional services at facilities we own and at facilities owned by our government partners and to engage in certain other business operations.  A TRS is not subject to the distribution requirements applicable to REITs so it may retain income generated by its operations for reinvestment.

As a REIT, we generally arewere not subject to federal income taxes on our REIT taxable income and gains that we distributedistributed to our stockholders, including the income derived from providing prison bed capacityour real estate and dividends we earnearned from our TRSs. However, our TRSs will bewere required to pay income taxes on their earnings at regular corporate income tax rates.

As a REIT, we generally arewere required to distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains). Our REIT taxable income willdid not typically include income earned by our TRSs except to the extent our TRSs paypaid dividends to the REIT.

21


On August 5, 2020, we announced that our Board of Directors, or BOD, unanimously approved a plan to revoke our REIT election and become a taxable C Corporation, effective January 1, 2021. The BOD also voted unanimously to discontinue our quarterly dividend and prioritize allocating our free cash flow to reduce debt levels. As a result, we are no longer required to operate under REIT rules, including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our stockholders, which provides us with greater flexibility to use our free cash flow. Beginning January 1, 2021, we became subject to federal and state income taxes on our taxable income at applicable tax rates, and are no longer entitled to a tax deduction for dividends paid. However, we believe this conversion improves our overall credit profile and will lower our overall cost of capital. Following our first priority of reducing debt, we expect to allocate a substantial portion of our free cash flow to returning capital to our shareholders and pursuing alternative growth opportunities. On May 12, 2022, our BOD approved a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our common stock. On August 2, 2022, the BOD increased the authorization to repurchase under the share repurchase program by up to an additional $75.0 million of our common stock, or a total aggregate authorized amount to purchase of up to $225.0 million of our common stock. For more information about the repurchases made under our share repurchase program, see "Part II – Other Information – Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds – Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities." The conversion to a taxable C Corporation also provides us with significantly more liquidity, which enables us to reduce our reliance on the capital markets and enabled us to reduce the size of our Bank Credit Facility, as further described hereinafter. We continued to operate as a REIT for the 2020 tax year, and existing REIT requirements and limitations, including those established by our organizational documents, remained in place until January 1, 2021.

On January 26, 2021, President Biden issued the Private Prison EO. The Private Prison EO directs the Attorney General to not renew DOJ contracts with privately operated criminal detention facilities. Two agencies of the DOJ, the BOP and the USMS utilize our services. The BOP houses inmates who have been convicted, and the USMS is generally responsible for detainees who are awaiting trial. The BOP has experienced a steady decline in inmate populations over the last eight years, a trend that has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. We currently have one prison contract with the BOP at the 1,978-bed McRae Correctional Facility, accounting for 2% ($40.6 million) of our total revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, which expires in November 2022. We completed the sale of the McRae facility in August 2022 to the Georgia Building Authority, and entered into an agreement to lease the facility through November 2022 to allow us to fulfill our obligations to the BOP. The Private Prison EO only applies to agencies that are part of the DOJ, which includes the BOP and USMS. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, facilities are not covered by the Private Prison EO, as ICE is an agency of the Department of Homeland Security, or DHS, not the DOJ, although it is possible that the federal government could choose to take similar action on ICE facilities in the future. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, USMS and ICE accounted for 23% ($433.6 million) and 30% ($552.2 million), respectively, of our total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, USMS and ICE accounted for 22% ($300.7 million) and 29% ($398.0 million), respectively, of our total revenue.

Unlike the BOP, the USMS does not own detention capacity and relies on the private sector, along with various government agencies, for its detainee population. The USMS has been advised by the Office of the Deputy Attorney General not to renew existing contracts, or enter into new contracts for private detention facilities. During the second quarter of 2021, we had direct contracts with the USMS for up to 992 detainees at our 2016-bed Northeast Ohio Correctional Center and for up to approximately 96 detainees at our 664-bed Crossroads Correctional Center in Montana that expired and were not renewed. On May 28, 2021, we entered into a new three-year contract with Mahoning County, Ohio to utilize up to 990 beds at our Northeast Ohio Correctional Center. Mahoning County is responsible for County inmates and federal detainees, including USMS detainees, and the County is using the Northeast Ohio facility to address its population needs. During the third quarter of 2021, we entered into an amendment to the contract with the state of Montana to utilize all of the capacity at the Crossroads Correctional Center, including the space vacated by the USMS, and to extend the existing contract to June 30, 2023, with additional renewal options by mutual agreement through August 31, 2029. We had a direct contract with the USMS to care for detainees at our 600-bed West Tennessee Detention Facility that expired on September 30, 2021 and was not renewed. In addition, we had a direct contract with the USMS to care for detainees at our 1,033-bed Leavenworth Detention Center that expired on December 31, 2021 and was not renewed. We are actively marketing the West Tennessee and Leavenworth facilities to other government agencies. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to reach agreements for the utilization of the West Tennessee or Leavenworth facilities.

We currently have two detention facilities that have direct contracts with the USMS that expire in September 2023 and September 2025. The facility with the contract expiring in September 2023 services a substantial number of USMS detainees that we believe will be challenging to replace, and we intend to work with the USMS to enable it to continue to fulfill its mission. However, we can provide no assurance that this contract will be renewed or replaced upon expiration. It is too early to predict the outcome of the expiration of the contract scheduled to expire in September 2025, and future developments could occur prior to the scheduled expiration date.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic. As a result, in the first quarter of 2020, the federal government decided to deny entry at the United States southern border to asylum-seekers and anyone crossing the southern border without proper documentation or authority in an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19, a policy known as Title 42, continued by the Biden administration. This policy resulted in a reduction to the number of people ICE detained, including in our detention facilities. On April 1, 2022, the CDC issued a Public Health Determination terminating Title 42 with an effective date of May

22


23, 2022. However, on April 25, 2022, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking the termination of Title 42, and on May 20, 2022, ruled that the administration violated administrative law when it announced that it planned to cease Title 42. If Title 42 is terminated, such action may result in an increase in the number of undocumented people permitted to enter the United States claiming asylum, and could result in an increase in the number of people apprehended and detained by ICE.

In February 2021, President Biden announced plans to allow certain migrants to pursue asylum in the United States while awaiting their proceedings in immigration courts, reversing a policy known as the Migrant Protection Protocols, or MPP, commonly referred to as the "Remain in Mexico Policy," enacted by the Trump administration. The MPP required asylum seekers to wait in Mexico during the pendency of their immigration court proceedings.

MPP has been subject to legal challenges. On August 13, 2021, a federal court ordered the Biden administration to reinstate the MPP finding that terminating MPP would be illegal "until the Department of Homeland Security has the capacity and willingness to detain immigrants." On August 24, 2021, the Supreme Court refused to block implementation of that order. On October 29, 2021, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas issued a memorandum asserting the termination of MPP, which was structured to be implemented if the decision reinstating MPP is vacated. The memorandum also provides that the Biden administration will continue to comply with the injunction requiring the reinstatement and enforcement of MPP until a final judicial decision, if any, to vacate such injunction is issued. In early December 2021, the Department of Homeland Security began the court-ordered re-implementation of the MPP, and on December 13, 2021, a federal appeals court rejected the Biden administration’s attempts to terminate MPP. On December 29, 2021, the Biden administration appealed this decision to the Supreme Court. On April 26, 2022, the Supreme Court heard arguments on MPP, and on June 30, 2022, the Supreme Court ruled that immigration law gives the federal government the discretion to end MPP. The Supreme Court also indicated that lower courts must now determine whether issuing the memorandum asserting the termination of MPP complied with administrative law, although the Supreme Court found that the order was a proper agency action. The number of people apprehended by ICE could increase if the Biden administration prevails in its efforts to terminate MPP.

We cannot predict government responses to an increase in staff or residents testing positive for COVID-19 within public and private correctional, detention and reentry facilities, nor can we predict COVID-19 related restrictions on individuals, businesses, and services that disrupt the criminal justice system. Further, we cannot predict government policies on prosecutions and legal restrictions as a result of COVID-19 that affect the number of people placed in correctional, detention, and reentry facilities.

COVID-19 notwithstanding, we believe the long-term growth opportunities of our business remain attractive as government agencies consider their emergent needs (including capacity to help mitigate the spread of infectious disease), as well as the efficiency and offender programming opportunities we provide as flexible solutions to satisfy our partners' needs. Further, although disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, several of our existing federal and state partners, as well as prospective state partners, have been experiencing growth in offender populations and overcrowded conditions, as well as an increase in violent crime. Governments are now assessing their need for correctional space in light of COVID-19, and several are considering alternative correctional capacity for their aged or inefficient infrastructure, or are seeking cost savings by utilizing the private sector, which could result in increased future demand for the solutions we provide. For example, in December 2021, the state of Arizona awarded us a new contract for up to 2,706 inmates at our 3,060-bed La Palma Correctional Center in Arizona, which commenced in April 2022. We are not aware of a larger prison contract awarded to the private sector by any state in over a decade. In August 2022, we completed the sale of the 1,978-bed McRae Correctional Facility to the Georgia Building Authority in order to update their aged and inefficient public sector correctional infrastructure. We currently have a management contract with the BOP at this facility, which expires November 30, 2022. In connection with the sale, we entered into an agreement to lease the McRae facility from the Georgia Building Authority through November 30, 2022 to allow us to fulfill our obligations to the BOP. The BOP is expected to transfer the BOP inmates to alternative federal capacity prior to expiration of the contract, and the McRae Correctional Facility will convert to a facility owned and operated by the State of Georgia upon termination of our lease with the Georgia Building Authority. Competing budget priorities often impede our customers' ability to construct new prison beds of their own or update their older facilities, which we believe could result in further demand for private sector prison capacity solutions in the long-term.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The consolidated financial statements in this reportQuarterly Report are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.principles, or GAAP. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available.available which, by their nature, are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from our estimates. A summary of our significant accounting policies is described in our 20162021 Form 10-K. The significant accounting policies and estimates which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

Asset impairments.  The primary risk we face for asset impairment charges, excluding goodwill, is associated with correctional facilities we own.  As of September 30, 2017, we had $2.8 billion in property and equipment, including $216.3 million in long-lived assets, excluding equipment, at eight idled correctional facilities.  The impairment analyses we performed for each of these facilities excluded the net book value of equipment, as a substantial portion of the equipment is easily transferrablethose related to other company-owned


facilities without significant cost.  The carrying values of the eight idled facilities as of September 30, 2017 were as follows (in thousands):

$

216,323

 

We also have two idled non-core facilities containing 440 beds with an aggregate net book value of $4.1 million.  We incurred operating expenses at the idled facilities of approximately $3.3 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  We incurred operating expenses of approximately $8.6 million and $6.6 million at the idled facilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying values of our long-lived assets, other than goodwill, when events suggest that an impairment may have occurred.  Such events primarily include, but are not limited to, the termination of a management contract or a significant decrease in inmate populations within a correctional facility we own or manage.  Accordingly, we tested each of the idled facilities for impairment when we were notified by the respective customers that they would no longer be utilizing such facility.    

We re-perform the impairment analyses on an annual basis for each of the idle facilities and evaluate onasset impairments, self-funded insurance reserves, and legal reserves. For a quarterly basis market developments for the potential utilizationdiscussion of eachour critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of these facilities in orderFinancial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Notes to identify events that may cause us to reconsider our most recent assumptions.  Such events could include negotiations with a prospective customer for the utilization of an idle facility at terms significantly less favorable than those usedConsolidated Financial Statements" presented in our most recent impairment analysis, or changes in legislation surrounding a particular facility that could impact our ability to care for certain types2021 Form 10-K. There were no newly identified critical accounting policies during the first nine months of inmates at such facility, or a demolition or substantial renovation of a facility.  Further, a substantial increase in the number of available beds at other facilities we own could lead to a deterioration in market conditions and cash flows that we might be able to obtain under a new management contract at our idle facilities. We have historically secured contracts with customers at existing facilities that2022, nor were already operational, allowing us to move the existing population to other idle facilities.  Although they are not frequently received, an unsolicited offer to purchasethere any of our idle facilities at amounts that are less than the carrying value could also cause us to reconsider the assumptions used in our most recent impairment analysis.  

Our impairment evaluations also take into consideration our historical experience in securing new management contracts to utilize facilities that had been previously idled for substantial periods of time.  Such previously idled facilities are currently being operated under contracts that continue to generate cash flows resulting in the recoverability of the net book value of the previously idled facilities by material amounts.  Due to a variety of factors, the lead time to negotiate contracts with our federal and state partners to utilize idle bed capacity is generally lengthy.  As a result of our analyses, we determined each of the idled facilities to have recoverable values in excess of the corresponding carrying values.  However, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to secure agreements to utilize our idle facilities, or that we will not incur impairment charges in the future.

By their nature, these estimates contain uncertainties with respect to the extent and timing of the respective cash flows due to potential delays or material changes to historical termsthe critical accounting policies and conditions in contracts with prospective customers that could impact the estimate of cash flows.  Notwithstanding our customers' fluctuating demand for prison beds which led to our decision to idle certain facilities, we believe the long-term trends favor an increase in the utilization of our correctional facilities and management services.  This belief is based on our experience in operating in difficult economic environments and in working with governmental agencies faced with significant budgetary challenges, which is a primary contributing factor to the lack of appropriated funding since 2009 to build new bed capacity by the federal and state governments with which we partner.

As a result of declines in federal populations at our 910-bed Torrance County Detention Facility and 1,129-bed Cibola County Corrections Center, during the third quarter of 2017, we made the decision to consolidate offender populations into our Cibola facility in order to take advantage of efficiencies gained by consolidating populations into one facility.  We idled the Torrance facility in the fourth quarter of 2017 following the transfer of the offender population, and have begun to market the facility to other potential customers.  We performed an impairment analysis of the Torrance facility, which had a net carrying value of $37.0 million as of September 30, 2017, and concluded that this asset has a recoverable value in excess of the carrying value.


Revenue Recognition – Multiple-Element Arrangement.In September 2014, we agreed under an expansion of an existing inter-governmental service agreement, or IGSA, between the city of Eloy, Arizona and ICE to provide residential space and services at our South Texas Family Residential Center.  The amended IGSA qualifies as a multiple-element arrangement under the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 605, "Revenue Recognition".  We evaluate each deliverable in an arrangement to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting.  A deliverable constitutes a separate unit of accounting when it has standalone value to the customer.  ASC 605 requires revenue to be allocated to each unit of accounting based on a selling price hierarchy.  The selling price for a deliverable is based on its vendor specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of selling price, if available, third-party evidence, or TPE, if VSOE of selling price is not available, or estimated selling price, or ESP, if neither VSOE of selling price nor TPE is available.  We establish VSOE of selling price using the price charged for a deliverable when sold separately.  We establish TPE of selling price by evaluating similar products or services in standalone sales to similarly situated customers.  We establish ESP based on management judgment considering internal factors such as margin objectives, pricing practices and controls, and market conditions.  In arrangements with multiple elements, we allocate the transaction price to the individual units of accounting at inception of the arrangement based on their relative selling price. The allocation of revenue to each element requires considerable judgment and estimations which could change in the future.  In October 2016, we entered into an amended IGSA that extended the term of the contract through September 2021.  As a result of this amendment, the deferred revenue associated with the multiple elements will be recognized over future periods based on the delivery of future services.  If the IGSA were to be further amended or terminated before the expiration of the five-year term, we would determine the allocation of any deferred revenues to the separate units of accounting to be recognized immediately for services previously provided and, if amended, over future periods based on the delivery of future services.

Self-funded insurance reserves.  As of September 30, 2017, we had $31.3 million in accrued liabilities for employee health, workers' compensation, and automobile insurance claims.  We are significantly self-insured for employee health, workers' compensation, and automobile liability insurance claims.  As such, our insurance expense is largely dependent on claims experience and our ability to control our claims.  We have consistently accrued the estimated liability for employee health insurance claims based on our history of claims experience and the estimated time lag between the incident date and the date we pay the claims.  We have accrued the estimated liability for workers' compensation claims based on an actuarial valuation of the outstanding liabilities, discounted to the net present value of the outstanding liabilities, using a combination of actuarial methods used to project ultimate losses, and our automobile insurance claims based on estimated development factors on claims incurred. The liability for employee health, workers' compensation, and automobile insurance includes estimates for both claims incurred and for claims incurred but not reported.  These estimates could change in the future.  It is possible that future cash flows and results of operations could be materially affected by changesdiscussed in our assumptions, new developments, or by the effectiveness of our strategies.2021 Form 10-K.

Legal reserves.  As of September 30, 2017, we had $5.7 million in accrued liabilities related to certain legal proceedings in which we are involved.  We have accrued our best estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims based on a range of potential outcomes.  In addition, we are subject to current and potential future legal proceedings for which little or no accrual has been reflected because our current assessment of the potential exposure is nominal.  These estimates have been developed in consultation with our General Counsel's office and, as appropriate, outside counsel handling these matters, and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies.  It is possible that future cash flows and results of operations could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions, new developments, or by the effectiveness of our litigation and settlement strategies.

Financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2022 reflected an $83.8 million gain on the sale of real estate assets, $0.8 million of expenses associated with debt repayments and refinancing transactions, as well as $3.5 million of asset impairments. Financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 reflected an $87.1 million gain on the sale of real estate assets, $7.6 million of expenses associated with debt repayments and refinancing transactions, $3.5 million of asset impairments, and $1.9 million associated with shareholder litigation expense. Collectively, these special items were partially offset by an income tax expense of $21.0 million and $19.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, associated with these special items.

Financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflected $5.2 million and $9.4 million, respectively, of asset impairments. Financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 also reflected $52.2 million of expenses associated with debt repayments and refinancing transactions, $54.3 million of charges related to the settlement agreement reached during April 2021 in connection with shareholder litigation, and $2.4 million of incremental expenses directly associated with COVID-19 (reflected in operating expenses), partially offset by a gain on the sale of real estate assets amounting to $38.8 million. Collectively, these special items were partially offset by an income tax benefit of $1.4 million and $19.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, associated with these special items. In addition, financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, included an income tax charge of $128.7 million, including $114.2 million for income taxes associated with the change in corporate tax structure and other special tax items.

Our Current Operations

Our ongoing operations are organized into three principal business segments:


CoreCivic Safety segment, consisting of the 45 correctional and detention facilities that are owned, or controlled via a long-term lease, and managed by CoreCivic, as well as those correctional and detention facilities owned by third parties but managed by CoreCivic. CoreCivic Safety also includes the operating results of our subsidiary that provides transportation services to governmental agencies, TransCor America, LLC, or TransCor.
CoreCivic Community segment, consisting of the 24 residential reentry centers that are owned, or controlled via a long-term lease, and managed by CoreCivic. CoreCivic Community also includes the operating results of our electronic monitoring and case management services.
CoreCivic Properties segment, consisting of the 8 real estate properties owned by CoreCivic for lease to third parties and used by government agencies.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our total segment net operating income, which we define as facility revenue (including interest income associated with finance leases) less operating expenses, was divided among our three business segments as follows:

Facility Operations

A key performance indicator we use to measure the revenue and expenses associated with the operation of the correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities we own or manage is expressed in terms of a compensated man-day, which represents the revenue we generate and expenses we incur for one offender for one calendar day. Revenue and expenses per compensated man-day are computed by dividing facility revenue and expenses by the total number of compensated man-days during the period. A compensated man-day represents a calendar day for which we are paid for the occupancy of an offender. We believe the measurement is useful because we are compensated for operating and managing facilities at an offender per-diemper diem rate based upon actual or minimum guaranteed occupancy levels. We also measure our ability to contain costs on a per-compensatedper compensated man-day basis, which is largely dependent upon the number of offenders we accommodate. Further, per compensated man-day measurements are also used to estimate our potential profitability based on certain occupancy levels relative to design capacity. Revenue and expenses per compensated man-day for all of the correctional, detention, and

The $34.1$7.5 million, or 7.3%1.6%, decrease in total management revenue for the three months ended September 30, 20172022 as compared with the same period in 2016 resulted from a decrease in revenue of approximately $11.8 million driven by a decrease of 2.7% in average revenue per compensated man-day.  The decrease in management revenue2021 was alsoprimarily a result of a decrease in revenue of approximately $22.3$22.8 million causeddriven primarily by a decrease in the average daily compensated population forfrom 2021 to 2022. The decrease in management revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared with the samethree-month period was partially offset by an increase in 2016.revenue of $15.0 million driven primarily by an increase of 3.5% in average revenue per compensated man-day. The $64.8$5.2 million, or 4.8%0.4%, decrease in total management revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 as compared with the same period in 2016 resulted from a decrease in revenue of approximately $52.4 million driven by a decrease of 3.9% in average revenue per compensated man-day.  The decrease in management revenue2021 was alsoprimarily a result of a decrease in revenue of approximately $12.4$49.9 million causeddriven primarily by a decrease in the average daily compensated population forfrom 2021 to 2022. The decrease in management revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared with the samenine-month period was partially offset by an increase in 2016, as well as the revenue generatedof $43.8 million driven primarily by one fewer dayan increase of operations due to leap year3.5% in 2016.average revenue per compensated man-day. The decreaseincrease in average revenue per compensated man-day during the three- and nine-monthin both periods ended September 30, 2017 was primarily a result of the amended IGSA associated with the South Texas Family Residential Center, which became effective in the fourth quarter of 2016, as further described hereafter.  The decrease in average revenue per compensated man-day was partially offset byresulted from the effect of per diem increases at several of our other facilities.

Average daily compensated population decreased 3,225, or 4.8%,We believe the impact of these per diem increases will provide further benefit to 63,656our operating margins as residential populations recover from the impact of COVID-19 and will help offset the wage and employee benefit increases we have been incurring, as further discussed hereinafter. Revenue generated from our electronic monitoring and case management services during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $0.3 million (from $8.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared2021 to 66,881$9.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, while average daily compensated population for2022) and $0.9 million (from $26.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 to $26.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022), respectively.

Average daily compensated population decreased 359,2,751, or 0.5%5.1%, fromto 51,355 during the comparable periodthree months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 54,106 during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Average daily compensated population decreased 2,038, or 3.8%, to 51,404 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 53,442 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in 2016.  There were several notable factors that affected the average daily compensated population when comparingin both periods in 2017 to those in 2016. Average compensated population duringwas a result of the three- and nine-month periods endedcontract terminations at our 600-bed West Tennessee Detention Facility effective September 30, 2017 increased due to the activation in the third quarter of 2016 of the new contract to care for up to an additional 1,000 inmates2021, at our newly expanded Red Rock Correctional1,033-bed Leavenworth Detention Center effective December 31, 2021, and at the 1,030-bed managed-only Marion County Jail effective January 31, 2022, all as further described hereafter, andhereinafter. In addition, the full activationdecrease in average daily compensated population in both periods also resulted from the three-year lease agreement we entered into with the state of New Mexico under which the newly constructed Trousdale Turnerstate of New Mexico began leasing our 596-bed Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center during 2016.  While we began housing state of Tennessee inmates aton November 1, 2021. We previously operated the Northwest New Mexico facility in January 2016, occupancy at the facility increased throughout the year. Average compensated population during both periods in 2017 also increased due to two new contracts at our Northeast Ohio Correctional Center.  In December 2016, we announced a new contract award from ICE at the Northeast Ohio facility in order to assist ICE with their current detention needs and, in the third quarter of 2017, we began receiving offender populations at the Northeast Ohio facilitySafety segment under a new contract with the state of Ohio,New Mexico. Further, a decrease in ICE populations at our La Palma Correctional Center was partially offset by an increase in state populations as further described hereafter.  Averagethe state of Arizona continues to ramp-up populations pursuant to a new management contract that commenced in April 2022. We expect the transition to the state residents from the state of Arizona to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022. These factors, which contributed, in the aggregate, to the decrease in average daily compensated population in both the three- and nine-month periods, were partially offset by increases in 2017 decreased dueother state populations as states continue to the decline in California inmates held in our out-of-state facilities, the expirationrecover from COVID-19 and operations of our contract with the District of Columbia, or the District, at the D.C. Correctional Treatment Facility in the first quarter of 2017, the expiration of our contract with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, or BOP, at our Eden Detention Center on April 30, 2017, and the expirations in the second and third quarters of 2017 of our contracts at four facilities thatcriminal justice systems continue to return to pre-COVID-19 operations.

The solutions we managed for the state of Texas, all as further described hereafter. The expiration of our contract with the BOP at our Cibola County Corrections Center in October 2016 also resulted in a decrease in average daily compensated population in 2017.  While we signed a new contract in October 2016provide to provide detention space and services at our Cibola facility to ICE for up to 1,116 detainees, the transition period from the BOP contract to the ICE contract and lower utilization by ICE resulted in a reduction in average compensated population at our Cibola facility during both periods in 2017 when compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Business from our federal customers, including primarily ICE, the USMS, and the BOP, the United States Marshals Service, or USMS, and ICE, continuescontinue to be a significant component of our business. OurThe federal customers in our Safety and Community segments generated approximately 47%54% and 52%56% of our total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, respectively, decreasing $36.4$17.8 million, or 14.9%.  Our6.7%, during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared with the same period in 2021. The federal customers in our Safety and Community segments generated approximately 48%54% and 52%56% of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, respectively, decreasing $92.4$36.0 million, or 12.8%.  4.6%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared with the same period in 2021.

The decision near the end of the first quarter of 2020 by the federal government to deny entry at the United States southern border to asylum-seekers and anyone crossing the southern border without proper documentation or authority in an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19, a policy known as Title 42, resulted in a reduction in people being apprehended and detained by ICE. The financial impact was somewhat mitigated by fixed monthly payments from ICE at certain facilities, to ensure ICE has adequate bed capacity in the event of a surge in the future. During 2021, revenue from ICE was $552.2 million compared to $542.0 million during 2020, and compared to $579.5 million during 2019, prior to the implementation of Title 42. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenue from ICE was $129.7 million and $398.0 million, respectively, compared to $140.3 million and $411.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Revenue from ICE for the three- and nine-month periods declined as a result of a decrease in federal revenues in both periods primarily resulteddetainees at our La Palma facility, where we are transitioning populations from an ICE population to a population of residents from the amended IGSA associated with the South Texas Family Residential Center, which became effectivestate of Arizona, pursuant to a new management contract that commenced in April 2022. The transfer process at our La Palma facility is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2016,2022. During the expiration of our contract with the BOP at our Eden Detention Center on Aprilthree and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and the expiration of our contract with the BOP at our Cibola County Corrections Center in October 2016, net of2022, revenue from ICE at the La Palma facility was $6.2 million and $33.2 million, respectively, compared with $19.6 million and $58.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Upon full utilization of the new contract, we expect to generate approximately $75.0 million to $85.0 million in annualized revenue at the La Palma facility. On April 1, 2022, the CDC issued a Public Health Determination terminating Title 42 with ICE at this facility.  The decreasean effective date of May 23, 2022. However, on April 25, 2022, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking the termination of Title 42, and on May 20, 2022, ruled that the administration violated administrative law when it announced that it planned to cease Title 42. If Title 42 is terminated, such action may result in federal revenuesan increase in the nine-month period was partially offsetnumber of undocumented people permitted to enter the United States claiming asylum, and could result

27


in an increase in the number of people apprehended and detained by ICE. The number of people apprehended by ICE could also increase if the federal government prevails over its attempt to reverse the MPP implemented by the combined effectTrump administration. As previously described, litigation over MPP is ongoing. On April 26, 2022 the Supreme Court heard arguments on MPP, and on June 30, 2022, the Supreme Court ruled that immigration law gives the federal government the discretion to end the program. The Supreme Court also indicated that lower courts must now determine whether issuing the memorandum asserting the termination of per diem increases for several of our federal contracts andMPP complied with administrative law, although the Supreme Court found that the order was a net increase in federal populations at certain other facilities.proper agency action.


State revenues from contracts at correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities that we operate increased 1.6%$16.9 million, or 10.9%, from the third quarter of 20162021 to the third quarter of 2017 and 4.0%2022. State revenues increased $43.4 million, or 9.7%, from the first nine months of 2016ended September 30, 2021 to the comparable period in 2017.2022. State revenues increased in both periods primarily as a result of the new management contract with the state of Arizona at our 3,060-bed La Palma Correctional Center for up to 2,706 inmates, as the state continues to transfer inmate populations from public sector facilities into our La Palma facility. We began receiving inmates from the state of Arizona in April 2022 and expect the transfer process to be complete in the fourth quarter of 2022. Before the new award, the La Palma facility supported the mission of ICE by caring for approximately 1,800 detainees. State revenues also increased in both periods because of an amended contract with the state of Montana to utilize all of the capacity at the Crossroads Correctional Center, including the space vacated by the USMS, as previously discussed herein. In addition, state revenues increased in both periods as a result of higher state inmate populations at other facilities, and from per diem increases under a number of our state contracts, as certain states have recognized the need to provide additional funding to address increases in the wages of our employees. The increase in state revenues was partially offset by the effect of the new lease agreement between us and the state of New Mexico at our Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center effective November 1, 2021. We previously operated the facility in our Safety segment under a contract with the state of New Mexico; however, as a result of our new lease agreement, the Northwest New Mexico facility is now a part of our Properties segment. Excluding state inmate populations at the Northwest New Mexico facility, average daily state inmate populations increased from 27,283 during the third quarter of 2021 to 28,240 during the third quarter of 2022, and increased from 26,877 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to 28,079 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 3.5% and 4.5%, respectively.

Local revenues from contracts at correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities that we operate decreased $4.2 million, or 31.8%, from the third quarter of 2021 to the third quarter of 2022. Local revenues decreased $11.9 million, or 31.2%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in local revenue in both periods is primarily a result of the contract termination at the 1,030-bed managed-only Marion County Jail on January 31, 2022. This facility contributed to the reduction in local revenues of $5.1 million and $13.7 million during the three- and nine-month periods, respectively.

The $0.7 million, or 5.0%, increase in lease revenue from the third quarter of 2021 to the third quarter of 2022 was primarily a result of the full activationlease revenue generated from the commencement of the newly constructed Trousdale Turnerlease of the 596-bed Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center during 2016 andto the activationstate of New Mexico effective November 1, 2021, which was previously operated as a facility in our Safety segment but is now part of our Properties segment. The increase in lease revenue in the expansion at our Red Rock Correctional Centerthree-month period was partially offset by the decrease in revenue that resulted from the sale of two actively leased properties during the third quarter of 2016.2022, as further described hereinafter. The increase in state revenues in both periods was partially offset by a decline in California inmates held in our out-of-state facilities and the expiration of our contract with the District at the D.C. Correctional Treatment Facility in the first quarter of 2017.  The $6.9$11.2 million, or 12.0%20.4%, increasedecrease in lease revenue from local authorities from the first nine months of 2016ended September 30, 2021 to the comparable period in 20172022, was primarily a result of the acquisitionsale of Correctional Management, Inc., or CMI, inthree actively leased properties during the second quarter of 20162021 and two actively leased properties during the acquisition of the Arapahoe Community Treatment Center, or ACTC, in the firstthird quarter of 2017, both2022, all as further described hereafter.hereinafter. The decrease in lease revenue in the nine-month period was partially offset by the lease revenue generated from the commencement of the lease at our Northwest New Mexico facility.

Several of our state partners are projecting improvements in their budgets which has helped us secure recent per diem increases at certain facilities.  Further, several of our existing state partners, as well as state partners with which we do not currently do business, are experiencing growth in inmate populations and overcrowded conditions.  Although we can provide no assurance that we will enter into any new contracts, we believe we are well positioned to provide them with needed bed capacity, as well as the programming and reentry services they are seeking.  

We believe the long-term growth opportunities of our business remain attractive as governments consider their emergent needs, as well as the efficiency, savings, and offender programming opportunities we can provide along with flexible solutions to match our partners' needs.  Further, we expect our partners to continue to face challenges in maintaining old facilities, developing new facilities, and expanding current facilities for additional capacity, which could result in future demand for the solutions we provide.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses totaled $316.9$368.2 million and $326.3$338.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, respectively, while operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 and 20162021 totaled $940.1$1,061.8 million and $956.7$1,004.1 million, respectively. Operating expenses consist of those expenses incurred in the operation and management of correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities, as well as atthose expenses incurred in the operations of TransCor and our electronic monitoring and case management services. Operating expenses also consist of those expenses incurred in the operation of facilities we lease to third-party operators,operators.

Operating expenses incurred by CoreCivic Safety and for our inmate transportation subsidiary, Transcor America, LLC.  

Expenses incurredCoreCivic Community in connection with the operation and management of our correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities, decreased $9.7as well as those incurred in the operations of TransCor and our electronic monitoring and case management services, increased $29.5 million, or 3.0%8.8%, during the third quarter of 20172022 when compared with the same period in 2016.2021. Operating expenses decreased $19.1incurred by these segments increased $62.5 million, or 2.0%6.3%, during the nine months ended September 30, 20172022, when compared withto the same period in 2016.  There were several notable factors that affected2021. Operating expenses increased in both periods primarily as a result of wage and employee benefits increases and related incremental expenses resulting from labor shortages and wage pressures, as further described hereinafter. We achieved higher staffing levels and, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred $5.6 million and $18.0 million, respectively, more in temporary incentives than in the prior year periods to attract and retain facility

28


staff in this challenging labor market. We believe these investments in staffing are preparing us to manage the increased number of residents we anticipate at our facilities once the remaining occupancy restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are removed. As the labor market improves, which we believe will take some additional time, we expect to reduce our reliance on these temporary incentives. Additionally, operating expenses when comparing the current year periods with thoseincreased as a result of the prior year.  The amended IGSA associated with the South Texas Family Residentialexpenses incurred as we transition inmate populations at our La Palma Correctional Center which lowered the cost structure effective in the fourth quarteras a result of 2016, the expiration of oura new contract with the District at the D.C. Correctional Treatment Facility in the first quarterstate of 2017, and the expiration of our contract with the BOP at our Eden Detention Center in the second quarter of 2017 all contributed to a decreaseArizona. The increase in operating expenses in bothwas partially offset by the three-contract terminations at our 600-bed West Tennessee Detention Facility effective September 30, 2021, at our 1,033-bed Leavenworth Detention Center effective December 31, 2021, and nine-month periods.  The decreaseat the 1,030-bed managed-only Marion County Jail effective January 31, 2022. In addition, the increase in operating expenses in both periods was partially offset primarily by the activation of the expansion at our Red Rock Correctional Center in the third quarter of 2016 and the additional expenses resulting from the new contractsthree-year lease agreement we entered into with ICE and the state of OhioNew Mexico at our Northeast Ohio Correctional Center. Additional factors affecting operating expenses during the nine-month period included the one fewer day of operations due to leap year in 2016, the additional expenses resulting from the full activation of the newly constructed Trousdale Turner596-bed Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center during 2016, andeffective November 1, 2021. We previously operated the additional expenses resulting from the acquisitions of CMINorthwest New Mexico facility in the second quarter of 2016 and ACTC in the first quarter of 2017.our Safety segment.

Total expenses per compensated man-day decreasedincreased to $53.99$75.28 during the three months ended September 30, 20172022 from $54.18$65.54 during the three months ended September 30, 2016,2021, and decreasedincreased to $52.56$73.09 during the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 from $54.40$66.04 during the same period in the prior year. Fixed expenses per compensated man-day forincreased to $53.10 during the three months ended September 30, 20172022 from $47.70 during the same period in the prior year, and 2016 include depreciation expense of $4.1 million and $10.7 million, respectively, and interest expense of $1.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in orderincreased to more properly reflect the cash flows associated with the lease at the South Texas Family Residential Center.  Fixed expenses per compensated man-day for$51.62 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 include depreciation expense of $12.3 million and $31.9 million, respectively, and interest expense of $4.9 million and $8.1 million, respectively, associated with2022 from $48.08 during the lease at the South Texas Family Residential Center. Fixed expenses and variable expenses per compensated man-day decreased in both periods from 2016 to 2017 primarily as a result of the amended IGSA which lowered the cost structure associated with the South Texas Family Residential Center effectivesame period in the fourth quarter of 2016, as further described hereafter.

As the economy has improved and the nation's unemployment rate has declined, weprior year. We have experienced labor shortages and wage pressures in certainmany markets across the country, and have provided customary inflationary wage increases to remain competitive.  These wage pressures contributedcompetitive, including increases to most of our facility staff during July of the last three years since the COVID-19 pandemic started. Recruiting has been particularly challenging during the pandemic due to the declinefront-line nature of the services we provide, and the shortage of nursing staff across the country has intensified as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in operating margins duringa significant increase in registry nursing expenses. The challenges of recruiting and retaining staff, including nursing, has been and could continue to be exacerbated by actions taken or contemplated to be taken by government authorities intended to mitigate the current year comparedspread of COVID-19 such as health and safety directives or other requirements that apply to the prior year,us and our facilities. Further, we have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, incremental expenses to help ensure sufficient staffing levels under unique and challenging working conditions. Incremental expenses include, but may not be limited to, incentive payments to our front-line and field staff, temporary employee housing expenses and other travel related reimbursements, additional paid time off, off-cycle wage increases in certain markets to remain competitive, further increases in registry nursing expenses, as salaries expensewell as expenses to procure personal protective equipment and other supplies. The increase in fixed expenses per compensated man-day increased 5.2%also resulted from leveraging our fixed expenses over the prior year quarter and 3.3% over the prior year nine-month period, excluding the impact oflower compensated populations, as well as expenses incurred during the aforementioned contract


modificationtransition of populations at the South Texas Family Residential Center.  our La Palma facility.

We continually monitor compensation levels very closely along with overall economic conditions and will setadjust wage levels necessary to help ensure the long-term success of our business. Further, we continually evaluate the structure of our employee benefits package and training programs to ensure we are better able to attract and retain our employees. Salaries and benefits represent the most significant component of our operating expenses, representing 60% for the first nine months of 2017approximately 58% and 59%60% of our total operating expenses during 2016.the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As mentioned, recruiting and retaining staff has become particularly challenging in the current employment market for us and for the corrections and detention industry as a whole. An inability to attract and retain sufficient personnel could prevent us from caring for additional residential populations for government agencies in need of additional capacity due to an increase in inmate populations or an inability to adequately staff their facilities. An inability to attract and retain sufficient personnel in our existing facilities could also cause our government partners to assess liquidated damages, reduce our residential populations, or in extreme circumstances, cancel our contracts. We have also been subjected to increasing staff vacancy deductions as a result of the labor shortages, which are reflected as reductions to other management revenue. Estimating vacancy deduction amounts can be complex and subject to management judgment and estimations. Some of our government partners have granted waivers for vacancy deductions in recognition of the unique and challenging labor market, while others have discretionarily adjusted such deductions based on our extraordinary costs, efforts and incentive programs implemented to attract and retain staff.

Variable expenses per compensated man-day increased to $22.18during the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $17.84 during the same period in the prior year, and increased to $21.47 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from $17.96 during the same period in the prior year. The increase in variable expenses per compensated man-day in the three- and nine-month periods was primarily a result of an increase in registry nursing expenses of $4.0 million, or $0.89 per compensated man-day, and $15.5 million, or $1.14 per compensated man-day, respectively, due to the shortage of nursing staff across the country.In addition, we experienced an increase in travel expenses from the same periods in the prior year as we supported our staff who are temporarily deployed across the Company to help address the labor shortages we are experiencing in certain regions. Travel expenses increased $5.8 million, or $1.26 per compensated man-day, and $13.8 million, or $1.01 per compensated man-day, in the three- and nine-month periods, respectively.

Operating expenses incurred by CoreCivic Properties in connection with facilities we lease to third-party operators increased $0.5 million, or 15.4%, during the third quarter of 2022 when compared with the same period in 2021, and decreased $4.8 million, or 31.1%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 when compared with the same period in 2021. The increase in expenses in this segment in the three-month period was primarily a result of the commencement of the lease of the 596-bed Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center effective November 1, 2021, as further described hereinafter. The decrease in expenses in this segment in the

29


nine-month period was primarily a result of the sale of three actively leased properties during the second quarter of 2021, as further described hereinafter, partially offset by the operating expenses incurred as a result of the commencement of the lease of the Northwest New Mexico facility.

Facility Management Contracts

We typically enter into facility management contracts to provide prison bed capacity and management services to governmental entities in our CoreCivic Safety and CoreCivic Community segments for terms typically ranging from three to five years, with additional renewal periods at the option of the contracting governmental agency. Accordingly, a substantial portion of our facility management contracts are scheduled to expire each year, notwithstanding contractual renewal options that a government agency may exercise. Although we generally expect these customers to exercise renewal options or negotiate new contracts with us, one or more of these contracts may not be renewed by the corresponding governmental agency. Further, our government partners can generally terminate our management contracts for non-appropriation of funds or for convenience.

Additionally, the Private Prison EO issued by President Biden on January 26, 2021, directs the Attorney General to not renew DOJ contracts with privately operated criminal detention facilities. Two agencies of the DOJ, the BOP and the USMS utilize our services. The BOP houses inmates who have been convicted, and the USMS is generally responsible for detainees who are awaiting trial. The BOP has experienced a steady decline in inmate populations over the last eight years, a trend that has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. We currently have one prison contract with the BOP at our 1,978-bed McRae Correctional Facility, accounting for 2% ($40.6 million) of our total revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, which expires in November 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we generated management revenue of $10.3 million and $31.0 million, respectively, from this contract with the BOP. We do not expect this contract to be renewed upon its expiration in November 2022. As further described hereinafter, we completed the sale of the McRae facility in August 2022 to the Georgia Building Authority, and entered into an agreement to lease the facility through November 2022 to allow us to fulfill our obligations to the BOP. The Private Prison EO only applies to agencies that are part of the DOJ, which includes the BOP and USMS. ICE facilities are not covered by the Private Prison EO, as ICE is an agency of DHS, not the DOJ, although it is possible that the federal government could choose to take similar action on ICE facilities in the future. USMS and ICE accounted for 22% ($300.7 million) and 29% ($398.0 million), respectively, of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 23% ($433.6 million) and 30% ($552.2 million), respectively, of our total revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

Unlike the BOP, the USMS does not own detention capacity and relies on the private sector, along with various government agencies, for its detainee population. The USMS has been advised by the Office of the Deputy Attorney General not to renew existing contracts, or enter into new contracts, for private detention facilities. We currently have two detention facilities that have direct contracts with the USMS that expire in September 2023 and September 2025. The facility with the contract expiring in September 2023 services a substantial number of USMS detainees that we believe will be challenging to replace, and we intend to work with the USMS to enable it to continue to fulfill its mission. However, we can provide no assurance that this contract will be renewed or replaced upon expiration. It is too early to predict the outcome of the expiration of the contract scheduled to expire in September 2025, and future developments could occur prior to the scheduled expiration date.

Based on information available as of the date of this Quarterly Report, other than the previously mentioned contract with the BOP at this filing,our McRae facility, we believe we will renew all materialother contracts with our government partners that have expired or are scheduled to expire within the next twelve months.months that could have a material adverse impact on our financial statements. We believe our renewal rate on existing contracts remains high as a result ofdue to a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, the constrained supply of available beds within the U.S. correctional system, our ownership of the majority of the beds we operate, and the quality of our operations.

The operationcost effectiveness of the facilitiesservices we own carries a higher degreeprovide. However, we cannot assure that we will continue to achieve such renewal rates in the future.

CoreCivic Safety

CoreCivic Safety includes the operating results of risk associated with a facility contract than the operation of the facilities we manage but do not own because we incur significant capital expenditures to construct, renovate or acquire facilities we own.  Additionally, correctional and detention facilities have limitedthat we operated during each period. Total revenue generated by CoreCivic Safety decreased $8.3 million, or no alternative use.  Therefore, if a contract is terminated on a1.9%, from $431.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $423.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, and decreased $7.4 million, or 0.6%, from $1,261.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $1,253.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. CoreCivic Safety's facility we own, we continuenet operating income decreased $36.3 million, or 30.9%, from $117.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 to incur certain$81.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, and decreased $67.9 million, or 20.3%, from $334.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $266.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, CoreCivic Safety generated 82.5% and 83.5%, respectively, of our total segment net operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, utilities,income, compared with 86.8% and insurance, which we would not incur if a management contract were terminated for a managed-only facility.  As a result, revenue per compensated man-day is typically higher for facilities we own85.0% during the three and manage than for managed-only facilities.  Because we incur higher expenses, such as repairs and maintenance, real estate taxes, and insurance, on the facilities we own and manage, our cost structure for facilities we own and manage is also higher than the cost structure for the managed-only facilities.  nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Owned and Managed Facilities

Facility net operating income, orreplace the operating income or loss from operations before interest, taxes, asset impairments, depreciation and amortization,cash flows with new management contracts like we did at our ownedNortheast Ohio and managedCrossroads facilities, decreased by $22.9 million, from $138.6 million duringas previously described herein. We had direct contracts with the USMS to care for detainees at our 600-bed West Tennessee Detention Facility that expired on September 30, 2021 and was not renewed and at our 1,033-bed Leavenworth Detention Center that expired on December 31, 2021 and was not renewed. We are actively marketing the West Tennessee and Leavenworth facilities to other government agencies. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to reach an agreement for the utilization of the West Tennessee and Leavenworth facilities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $115.72021, the contract with the USMS at our West Tennessee facility generated management revenue of $4.5 million duringand $14.7 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of 16.5%.  Facility net operating income2021, the contract with the USMS at our ownedLeavenworth facility generated management revenue of $9.2 million and managed$28.8 million, respectively. We idled both the West Tennessee and Leavenworth facilities decreased by $41.1 million, from $399.5 millionupon expiration of the contracts with the USMS. However, we temporarily retained a certain staffing level at both facilities during the first three months of 2022 in the event that we were able to enter into new contracts with government agencies promptly following the contract expirations and to provide transportation services at the Leavenworth facility, which contributed to the increase in operating expenses per man-day in our Safety segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $358.4 million during2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2022, these two facilities experienced facility net operating losses aggregating $0.9 million and $4.4 million, respectively, resulting in a decrease of 10.3%.  Facilitytotal reduction to facility net operating income of $1.4 million and $10.4 million, respectively, at these two facilities as compared to the same periods in 2021.

As previously described herein, we also have one prison contract with the BOP at our owned and managed facilities1,978-bed McRae Correctional Facility, which expires in both periods of 2017 was unfavorably impacted by the amended IGSA associated with the South Texas Family Residential Center, which became effective in the fourth quarter of 2016, as further described hereafter.  The aggregate depreciation and interest expense associated with the lease at the South Texas Family Residential Center forNovember 2022 that we do not expect to be renewed. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 totaling $5.7 million and $13.2 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 totaling $17.2 million and $40.0 million, respectively, are not included in these2022, this facility generated facility net operating income amounts, but are included in the per compensated man-day statistics.

In September 2014, we announced that we agreed to an expansion of an IGSA between the city of Eloy, Arizona$1.6 million and ICE to care for up to 2,400 individuals at the South Texas Family Residential Center, a facility we lease in Dilley, Texas.  The services provided under the original amended IGSA commenced in the fourth quarter of 2014 and had an original term of up to four years.  

In October 2016, we$6.3 million, respectively. We entered into an amended IGSA that provides for a new, lower fixed monthly payment that commencedPurchase and Sale Agreement with the Georgia Building Authority to purchase the McRae facility in July 2022 and completed the sale in August 2022. We are now leasing the McRae Correctional Facility from the Georgia Building Authority through November 2016, and extended30, 2022 to allow us to fulfill our obligations to the termBOP. We generated net sales proceeds of $129.7 million on the sale of the contract through September 2021.  The agreement can be further extended by bi-lateral modification.  However, ICE can also terminate the agreement for convenience or non-appropriation of funds, without penalty, by providing us with at least a 60-day notice.  Concurrent with the amendment to the IGSA entered into in October 2016, we modified our lease agreement with the third-party lessor of theMcRae facility, to reflect a reduced monthly lease expense effective in November 2016, with a new term concurrent with the amended IGSA.  In the event we cancel the lease with the third-party lessor prior to its expiration as a result of the termination of the IGSA by ICE for convenience, and if we are unable to reach an agreement for the continued use of the facility within 90 days from the termination date, we are required to pay a termination fee based on the termination date, currently equal to $10.0 million and declining to zero by October 2020.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized $42.7 million and $71.4 million, respectively, in total revenue associated with the South Texas Family Residential Center.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized $127.9 million and $213.1 million, respectively, in total revenue associated with the South Texas Family Residential Center.  The original IGSA with ICE had a favorable impact on the revenue and net operating income of our owned and managed facilities during 2016, with more favorable operating margin percentages than those of our average owned and managed facilities.  Under terms of the amended IGSA entered into in October 2016, the revenues generated at the South Texas Family Residential Center declined and operating margin percentages at the facility became more comparable to those of our average owned and managed facilities, resulting in a material reduction to our facility net operating income in 2017.

Numerous lawsuits, togain on the sale of $77.5 million, which we are not a party, have challenged the government's policy of detaining migrant families.  Any court decision or government action that impacts our existing contract for the South Texas Family Residential Center could materially affect our cash flows, financial condition, and results of operations.


In December 2015, we announced that we were awarded a new contract from the Arizona Department of Corrections, or ADOC, to care for up to an additional 1,000 medium-security inmates at our Red Rock facility, bringing the contracted bed capacity to 2,000 inmates.  The new management contract contains an initial term of ten years, with two five-year renewal options upon mutual agreement and provides for an occupancy guarantee of 90% of the contracted beds.  The government partner included the occupancy guaranteerecognized in its request for proposal in order to guarantee its access to the beds.  In connection with the new award, we expanded our Red Rock facility to a design capacity of 2,024 beds and added additional space for inmate reentry programming.  We began receiving inmates under the new contract during the third quarter of 2016.2022.

Operating margins in the CoreCivic Safety segment have also been negatively impacted during the first nine months of 2022 by increased operating expenses per man-day, which was driven primarily by incremental staffing levels, higher wage rates, and increased registry nursing and other related expenses. As previously described herein, we have experienced labor shortages and wage pressures in many markets across the country, and have provided customary inflationary wage increases to remain competitive, including increases to most of our facility staff during July of the last three years since the COVID-19 pandemic started. Further, we have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, incremental expenses to help ensure sufficient staffing levels under unique and challenging working conditions, including but not limited to, shift incentive bonuses, recruiting and retention bonuses, temporary employee housing expenses and travel reimbursements, off-cycle wage increases, as well as relocation incentives. During 2021, we operated at reduced staffing levels due to COVID-19 health and safety measures, including occupancy restrictions and labor shortages in many of our markets. Further, in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and at the direction of our government partners, we significantly reduced the level of movement within our facilities, enabling us to more efficiently manage our staffing. We have worked with our government partners and followed national and local health standards as we reinstated normal movement within our facilities. The new contract generated $4.8 millionnegative impact on operating margins resulting from these factors was partially offset by a 3.5% and $16.3 million of incremental3.6% increase in average revenue per compensated

31


man-day during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2022, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in average revenue per compensated man-day in both periods resulted from the effect of per diem increases at several of our facilities, as we have received per diem increases resulting from additional funding to address increases in the wages of our employees.

DuringIn December 2021, we were awarded a new management contract from the firststate of Arizona for up to 2,706 inmates at our 3,060-bed La Palma Correctional Center in Arizona. The State will close an outdated public-sector prison and transfer inmate populations to our La Palma facility. The transfer began in April 2022, and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2015,2022. Before the adult inmatenew award, the La Palma facility supported the mission of ICE by caring for approximately 1,800 detainees. The transition of population held infrom ICE detainees to inmates from the state of California institutions first met a Federal court order to reduce inmate populations below 137.5% of its capacity.  Inmate populations in the state continued to decline below the court ordered capacity limit whichArizona has resulted in declining inmate populations in the out-of-state program at facilitiesdisruption of earnings and cash flows, and we own and operate.  Asexpect this disruption will continue until the occupancy of September 30, 2017,inmates from the adult inmate population held in state of California institutions remainedArizona reaches stabilization. Upon full utilization of the new contract, we expect to generate approximately $75.0 million to $85.0 million in compliance withannualized revenue at the Federal court order at approximately 135.9%La Palma facility. However, because of capacity, or approximately 116,000the preparation to receive the Arizona inmates, which did not includeincluding a reduction in the California inmates held in our out-of-state facilities, compared with 114,000 inmates at December 31, 2016.  During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we cared for an average daily population of approximately 4,400 and 4,800 California inmates, respectively, in facilities outsideICE detainees at the state as a partial solution to the State's overcrowding.  This decline in population, along with the revenue impact in the nine-month period of one fewer day of operations due to leap year in 2016, resulted in a decrease in revenue of $1.8facility, facility net operating income decreased $11.8 million and $7.9$25.1 million respectively, fromduring the three and nine months ended September 30 2016 to2022, respectively, compared with the comparablesame periods in 2017.  2021.

Approximately 6.0% of our total revenueOur managed-only contract for both the nine months ended September 30, 20171,030-bed Marion County Jail in Indianapolis, Indiana terminated and 2016 was generated from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, or CDCR, in facilities housing inmates outside the state of California.  

In June 2017, the Governor of California signedoperations transitioned to Marion County effective January 31, 2022. Marion County constructed a budget for fiscal 2017-2018, which contemplatesreplacement facility that implementation of initiatives to reduce prison populations will allow the CDCR to remove all inmates from one of our two remaining out-of-state facilities in fiscal 2017-2018.  Additionally, as a result of such prison population reduction initiatives, the CDCR anticipates reducing inmate populations from our other out-of-state facility in calendar year 2018.  Although the budget acknowledges that estimates of population reductions are preliminary and subject to considerable uncertainty, we can provide no assurance that we would be able to replace the cash flows associated with our contract with the CDCR, if CDCR inmates are removed from our Tallahatchie and La Palma facilities.  An elimination of the use of our out-of-state solutions by the state of California would have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

On April 11, 2017, we announced that we contracted with the state of Ohio to care for up to an additional 996 offenders at our 2,016-bed Northeast Ohio Correctional Center.  The initial term of the contract continues through June 2032 with unlimited renewal options, subject to appropriations and mutual agreement.  We began receiving offender populations at the Northeast Ohio facility from the state of Ohio in the third quarter of 2017, with full contract utilization expected by the end of the first quarter of 2018.  On September 30, 2017, we cared for approximately 300 offenders from the state of Ohio, 650 detainees from the USMS, and approximately 200 detainees from ICE at our Northeast Ohio facility.

Our contract with the District at the D.C. Correctional Treatment Facility expired in the first quarter of 2017.  The District assumed operation of the facilitybecame fully operational in January 2017.  We incurred a facility net operating loss of $0.5 million during the first quarter of 2017.  We incurred facility net operating income at the facility of $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and a facility net operating loss of $0.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  Our investment in the direct financing lease with the District also expired in the first quarter of 2017.  Upon expiration of the lease, ownership of the facility automatically reverted to the District.

On April 30, 2017, our contract with the BOP at our Eden Detention Center expired and was not renewed.  During the time the facility was active in 2017, we generated facility net operating income of $1.9 million and we generated $9.1 million for the full year ended December 31, 2016.

As a result of declines in federal populations at our 910-bed Torrance County Detention Facility and 1,129-bed Cibola County Corrections Center, during the third quarter of 2017, we made the decision to consolidate offender populations into our Cibola facility in order to take advantage of efficiencies gained by consolidating populations into one facility.  We idled the Torrance facility in the fourth quarter of 2017 following the transfer of the offender population, and have begun to market the facility to other potential customers.  2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred2021, this facility generated facility net operating lossesincome of $0.9$1.3 million and $1.7$3.3 million, respectively, at the Torrance facility andcompared to a facility net operating loss of $4.0$0.1 million forduring the full year ended December 31, 2016.


The following acquisitions have positively impacted our currenttime the facility operating income and our diversification strategy:was active in 2022.

On April 8, 2016,September 20, 2021, we closed on the acquisition of 100% of the stock of CMI alongentered into a three-year lease agreement with the real estate usedstate of New Mexico at our 596-bed Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center. We previously operated the Northwest New Mexico facility in the operation of CMI's business from two entities affiliated with CMI.  CMI, a privately held community corrections company that operates seven community corrections facilities, including six owned and one leased, with approximately 600 beds in Colorado, specializes in community correctional services, drug and alcohol treatment services, and residential reentry services;

On January 1, 2017, we acquired ACTC, a 135-bed residential reentry center in Englewood, Colorado, which we integrated along with the operations of our existing Colorado residential reentry centers;  

On June 1, 2017, we acquired the real estate operated by Center Point, Inc., or Center Point, a California-based non-profit organization.  We consolidated a portion of Center Point's operations into our preexisting residential reentry portfolio and assumed ownership and operations of the Oklahoma City Transitional Center, a 200-bed residential reentry center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and  

On August 1, 2017, we acquired New Beginnings Treatment Center, Inc., or NBTC, an Arizona-based community corrections company, along with the real estate used in the operation of NBTC's business from an affiliate of NBTC.  In connection with the NBTC acquisition, we assumedSafety segment under a contract with the BOPstate of New Mexico. We transitioned facility operations to provide reentry services to malethe New Mexico Corrections Department upon commencement of the new lease agreement on November 1, 2021. During the time the facility operated in our Safety segment during 2021, the Northwest New Mexico facility generated revenue of $9.2 million, including revenue of $2.8 million and female adults at the 92-bed Oracle Transitional Center located in Tucson, Arizona.

We acquired these ten facilities as strategic investments that further expand the network of reentry assets we own and the services we provide.  Total revenue generated from the acquisition of CMI during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $6.5 million.  Total revenue generated from the ten facilities$8.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $5.12021, respectively. During the time the facility operated in our Safety segment during 2021, the Northwest New Mexico facility incurred a facility net operating loss of $2.3 million, including a net operating loss of $0.9 million and $13.0 million, respectively.

Managed-Only Facilities

Total revenue at our managed-only facilities decreased $4.7 million, from $52.4$2.1 million during the third quarter of 2016 to $47.7 million during the third quarter of 2017,three and decreased $4.5 million, from $153.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $149.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  When compared with the same periods in the prior year, revenue per compensated man-day increased to $46.96 from $42.71, or 10.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and increased to $44.42 from $42.52, or 4.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  Operating expenses per compensated man-day increased to $43.35 from $38.47 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and increased to $40.73 from $37.79 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared with the same periods in the prior year.  Facility net operating income at our managed-only facilities decreased $1.5 million, from $5.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $3.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017, and decreased $4.7 million, from $17.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $12.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.2021, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, managed-only2022, this facility generated lease revenue of $0.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and facility net operating income of $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

California Assembly Bill 32, or AB32, became effective January 1, 2020. AB32 generally prohibits new contracts and renewals of existing contracts between private, for-profit entities and government agencies for the operation of detention facilities within the state of California, and prohibits the utilization of detention centers operated by private, for-profit entities by the state of California effective January 1, 2028. AB32 does not apply to facilities leased from private, for-profit entities, such as our California City Correctional Center. The U.S. Government and The GEO Group, Inc. both filed lawsuits against the state of California challenging the enforceability of AB32 under applicable law. On September 26, 2022, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, or the Appeals Court, ruled that AB32 violates the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which generally prohibits states from interfering with the enforcement of federal laws and the federal government's exercise of its constitutional powers. Accordingly, the Appeals Court remanded the case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California for proceedings consistent with this ruling. Our contract with ICE to operate the 1,994-bed Otay Mesa Detention Center is currently scheduled to expire in December 2024, but may be extended by ICE pursuant to the first of its two 5-year renewal options.

CoreCivic Community

CoreCivic Community includes the operating results of the residential reentry centers that we operated during each period, along with the operating results of our electronic monitoring and case management services. Total revenue generated 3.1%by CoreCivic Community increased $0.8 million, or 3.3%, from $25.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $26.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 3.3%increased $2.1 million, or 2.9%, from $74.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $76.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Like our CoreCivic Safety segment, operating margins in our CoreCivic Community segment were negatively impacted during 2022 by increased operating expenses per man-day, which were driven primarily by higher wage rates during the three-month period, and increased variable expenses, including travel related expenses, during both the three- and nine-month periods. The effect of the increased operating expenses was partially offset by an increase in average revenue per compensated forman-day during both the risk associated with this competitive business. Further, we may terminate existing contracts from time to time when we are unable to achievethree- and nine-month periods. Average revenue per compensated man-day increased primarily as a result of per diem increases at several of our facilities. Also like our CoreCivic Safety segment, occupancy in our CoreCivic Community facilities continues to be negatively affected by COVID-19 and has not yet returned to pre-pandemic occupancy levels.

Contributing to the improved average compensated occupancy in the CoreCivic Community segment during 2022 were the sales of our 120-bed Fox Facility and Training Center and our 90-bed Ulster Facility in the first quarter of 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement for our Fox facility, which was sold in February 2022. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2021, we entered into a separate Purchase and Sale Agreement for our idled Ulster facility, which was sold in March 2022. The two facilities were located in Denver, Colorado and had recently been under-utilized by Denver County, and incurred facility net operating losses aggregating $0.1 million and $0.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

CoreCivic Properties

CoreCivic Properties includes the operating results of the properties we leased to third parties and that offset increasing expenseswere used by government agencies during each period. Total revenue generated by CoreCivic Properties increased $0.6 million, or 4.6%, from $13.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $14.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, and enable usdecreased $11.2 million, or 20.4%, from $54.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to maintain safe, effective operations.  

During$43.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. CoreCivic Properties' facility net operating income increased $0.1 million, or 1.2%, from $10.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $10.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, and decreased $6.5 million, or 16.3%, from $39.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $33.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increases in total revenue and net operating income in the three-month period were primarily the result of the new lease at our Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center, as further described hereinafter. The decreases in total revenue and net operating income in the nine-month period were primarily the result of the three actively leased properties we sold in the second quarter of 2021 and the two actively leased properties we sold in the third quarter of 2016, 2022, as further described hereinafter, partially offset by

the Texas Departmentrevenue and net operating income generated by the new lease at our Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, CoreCivic Properties generated 13.1% and 12.5%, respectively, of Criminal Justice,our total segment net operating income, compared with 9.4% and 11.8% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

On May 28, 2021, we completed the sale of two leased properties, the 277,000 square foot Capital Commerce Center, primarily leased to an agency of the State of Florida in Tallahassee, Florida, and a 217,000 square foot warehouse property leased to the General Services Administration, or TDCJ, solicited proposalsGSA, in Dayton, Ohio, in a single transaction to a third party for an aggregate price of $73.0 million, generating net proceeds of $46.2 million after the rebidrepayment of four facilitiesthe debt related to the Capital Commerce Center and other transaction-related costs. In addition, on June 29, 2021, we managedcompleted the sale of a 541,000 square foot property leased to the GSA in Baltimore, Maryland to a third party for a price of $253.0 million, generating net proceeds of $76.4 million after the repayment of the debt related to the Baltimore property and other transaction-related costs. During our period of ownership in 2021, these three properties generated facility net operating income of $9.5 million. We recorded an aggregate net gain on the sales of these three properties of $38.9 million during the second quarter of 2021.

On September 20, 2021, we entered into a three-year lease agreement with the state of Texas.  The managed-only contracts for these four facilities were scheduledNew Mexico at our 596-bed Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center. We previously operated the Northwest New Mexico facility in our Safety segment under a contract with the state of New Mexico. We transitioned facility operations to expire in August 2017.  On March 31, 2017, the TDCJ notified us that, in lightNew Mexico Corrections Department upon commencement of the current economic climate as well asnew lease agreement on November 1, 2021. We will retain responsibility for facility maintenance throughout the fiscal constraints and budget outlookterm of the lease. The new lease agreement includes extension options that could extend the term of the lease through October 31, 2041. The average annual rent for the TDCJ forinitial three-year lease term is $3.2 million, including annual rent of $4.2 million in the next biennium, the TDCJ would not be awarding the contract for the Bartlett State Jail, onesecond and third years of the facilities includedlease, with annual escalators thereafter.

During July 2022, we sold the Stockton Female Community Corrections Facility and the Long Beach Community Corrections Center, both located in California, generating net sales proceeds of $10.9 million. During 2021, these two properties generated facility net operating income of $1.0 million, including $0.3 million and $0.8 million in the rebid process.three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. During our period of ownership in 2022, these two properties generated facility net operating income of $0.6 million. We reported an aggregate net gain on the first quartersale of 2017, we wrote-off $0.3these two properties of $2.3 million of goodwill associated with this managed-only facility.  In collaboration with the TDCJ, the decision was made to close the Bartlett facility on June 24, 2017.  Duringduring the third quarter of 2017, the TDCJ notified us that it selected other operators2022.

In September 2022, we entered into a Letter of Intent with a third party for the managementsale of our Roth Hall Residential Reentry Center and the three remaining managed-only facilities that were subjectWalker Hall Residential Reentry Center both of which are located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for a gross sales price of $6.3 million. We expect the sale to be complete during the rebid.  We successfully transferred operationsfourth quarter of these facilities to the other operators upon expiration of the contracts.  The four facilities we managed for the state of Texas had2022. These two properties operated at a total capacity of 5,129 beds and generated total revenue and abreak-even facility net operating loss of $30.4 millionincome level for the three months ended September 20, 2022, and generated $0.2 million respectively,of facility net operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and total revenue and net operating income of $49.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The termination of the contracts with the TDCJ contributed to the increase in revenue and expenses per compensated man-day, as the per diem and operating expense structure associated with these contracts were substantially lower than our managed-only portfolio average.


Other Portfolio Related Activity2022.

In May 2016, we entered into a lease with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, or ODOC, for our previously idled 2,400-bed North Fork Correctional Facility.  The lease agreement commenced on July 1, 2016, and includes a five-year base term with unlimited two-year renewal options.  However, the lease agreement permitted the ODOC to utilize the facility for certain activation activities and, therefore, revenue recognition began upon execution of the lease.  The average annual rent to be recognized during the five-year base term is $7.3 million, including annual rent in the fifth year of $12.0 million.  After the five-year base term, the annual rent will be equal to the rent due during the prior lease year, adjusted for increases in the Consumer Price Index.  We are responsible for repairs and maintenance, property taxes and property insurance, while all other aspects and costs of facility operations are the responsibility of the ODOC.

On June 10, 2016, we acquired a residential reentry center in Long Beach, California from a privately held owner.  The 112-bed facility is leased to a third-party operator under a triple net lease agreement that extends through June 2020 and includes one five-year lease extension option.  In addition, on February 10, 2017, we acquired the Stockton Female Community Corrections Facility, a 100-bed residential reentry center in Stockton, California.  The 100-bed facility is leased to a third-party operator under a triple net lease agreement that extends through April 2021 and includes one five-year lease extension option.  Both third-party operators separately contract with the CDCR to provide rehabilitative and reentry services to residents at the leased facilities.  We acquired the facilities in the real estate–only transactions as strategic investments that further expand our network of residential reentry centers.  During the third quarter of 2017, we acquired a portfolio of four properties, including a 230-bed residential reentry center leased to the state of Georgia, a property in North Carolina and a property in Georgia, each of which is leased to the Social Security Administration, or SSA, and a property in North Carolina leased to the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS.  We currently expect these six properties to generate total annual revenue of approximately $2.0 million.  

General and administrative expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, general and administrative expenses totaled $28.3$30.2 million and $27.7$34.6 million, respectively, while general and administrative expenses totaled $79.5$92.8 million and $81.5$97.4 million respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016.2021, respectively. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of corporate management salaries and benefits, professional fees, including those associated with mergers and acquisitions, or M&A, and other administrative expenses. An increase in incentive compensation and M&A expenses during the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016, was largely offset by a reduction in generalGeneral and administrative expenses resultingdecreased from the prior year periods primarily as a restructuringresult of oura decrease in corporate operations announced during the third quarter of 2016.  management salaries and benefits, which was largely related to lower incentive-based compensation.

Depreciation and amortization

For the three months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, depreciation and amortization expense totaled $36.5$31.9 million and $42.9$34.0 million, respectively, while depreciation and amortization expense totaled $109.6$96.2 million and $127.3$100.8 million respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016.  Our lease2021, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased in both periods due to certain information technology equipment becoming fully depreciated. In addition, the decrease in depreciation and amortization expense in both periods was due to the contract termination at the Marion County Jail and the sales of our Fox Facility and Training Center and our Ulster Facility, all of which occurred during the first quarter of 2022. In addition, the sale of our McRae Correctional Facility in the third quarter of 2022 contributed to the decrease in depreciation and amortization expense in both the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022.

Shareholder litigation expense

On April 16, 2021, we reached an agreement within principle to settle a purported securities class action lawsuit that was filed on August 23, 2016 in the third-party lessor associated withUnited States District Court for the 2,400-bed South Texas Family Residential Center resulted in our being deemedMiddle District of Tennessee, or the ownerDistrict Court, captioned Grae v. Corrections Corporation of America et al. The monetary terms of the constructed assetssettlement included a payment of $56.0 million in return for accounting purposes,a dismissal of the

34


case with prejudice and a full release of all claims against all defendants. The settlement agreement, which was approved by the District Court on November 8, 2021, contains no admission of liability, wrongdoing, or responsibility by any of the defendants, including us. As a result of the settlement, we recognized an expense of $54.3 million during 2021 (all of which was recognized during the first six months of 2021), which was net of the remaining insurance available under the Company's policies. We paid the settlement amount in accordanceMay 2021.

We are also named along with ASC 840-40-55, formerly Emerging Issues Task Force No. 97-10, "The Effectseveral of Lessee Involvementour directors in Asset Construction".  Accordingly, our balance sheet reflectssix derivative lawsuits which raise similar allegations to those raised in the Grae securities litigation, which are currently stayed by agreement of the parties. While we believe these lawsuits are entirely without merit, we acknowledge the costs attributableand risks of extensive and complex litigation regarding these matters are substantial and subject to an unpredictable outcome. On June 17, 2022, we and derivative plaintiffs informed the District Court that the parties had reached an agreement as to the building assets constructed by the third-party lessor, which, beginning inplaintiffs' attorneys' fees and expenses. During the second quarter of 2015, began depreciating over the remainder2022, we recognized an additional expense of $1.9 million to reflect our estimate of the four-year termprobable liability associated with these matters. On September 19, 2022, the Court issued an order, or the Preliminary Order, providing for preliminary approval of the original lease.  Depreciation expenseproposed settlement of the claims asserted nominally on our behalf against the individual defendants named in the previously disclosed stockholder derivative action. The settlement calls for us to adopt certain governance changes and to pay plaintiff’s counsel $3.5 million in attorneys’ fees. The Preliminary Order set a final settlement approval hearing for December 1, 2022. Considering amounts previously recognized for these matters, we had adequately accrued for this liability as of September 30, 2022.

Asset impairments

Pursuant to the constructed assets at this facility was $4.1 million and $10.7agreement to sell the Oklahoma City Transitional Center expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022, we recognized an impairment charge of $3.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $12.3 million and $31.9 million2022 associated with this facility held for sale, based on its estimated net realizable value less costs to sell.

Asset impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  As previously described herein, we modified our lease agreement with the third-party lessor of the facility in October 2016, which resulted in a reduced monthly lease rate effective in November 2016 and extended the term of the contract.  As a result of the lease modification, depreciation expense2021 include $5.2 million for the constructed assets at the South Texas Family Residential Center is expected to decline in 2017 to approximately $16.6 million from $38.7 million in 2016.

Interest expense, net

As discussed in more detail hereinafter, on May 12, 2022, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, or the New Bank Credit Facility, in an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million, consisting of a $100.0 million term loan, or the New Term Loan A, and a $250.0 revolving credit facility, or the New Revolving Credit Facility. The New Bank Credit Facility replaced the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, or the Previous Bank Credit Facility, which was in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion and consisted of a term loan with an original principal balance of $200.0 million, or the Previous Term Loan A, and a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $800.0 million, or the Previous Revolving Credit Facility. The New Bank Credit Facility extends the maturity to May 2026 from the April 2023 maturity under the Previous Bank Credit Facility.

Interest expense is reported net of interest income and capitalized interest for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016.2021. Gross interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $17.2$23.5 million and $17.1$23.1 million respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, respectively, and was $50.8$73.1 million and $52.2$69.9 million respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016.2021, respectively. Gross interest expense iswas based on outstanding borrowings under our $900.0 million revolving credit facility, or revolving credit facility,Bank Credit Facility, our Term Loan B (which we repaid in full in May 2022, as further described hereinafter), our outstanding Incremental Term Loan, or Term Loan,senior unsecured notes, and our outstanding seniornon-recourse mortgage notes, as well as the amortization of loan costs and unused facility fees. We also incur interest expense associated with the lease of the South Texas Family Residential Center, in accordance with ASC 840-40-55.  Interest expense associated with the lease of this facility was $1.6 million and $2.5 million during the three monthsnine-month period ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $4.9 million and $8.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  As previously described herein, we modified our lease agreement2022 compared with the third-party lessor of the facilitysame period in October 2016, which resulted in a reduced monthly lease rate effective in November 2016 and extended the term of the contract.  As2021 increased primarily as a result of the lease modification,issuance of $675.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior unsecured notes in April and September 2021, which increased the average interest expense associated withrate applicable to our outstanding debt, as further described hereinafter. However, the lease of the South Texas Family Residential Center is expected to declineincrease in 2017 to approximately $6.4 million from $10.0 million in 2016.  The decrease ingross interest expense in both periods that primarily resulted from the reduction in expense associated with the lease of the South Texas Family Residential Center was partially offset by an increasea decrease in the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR.average outstanding balance on our Previous Revolving Credit Facility (which we repaid in full in the third quarter of 2021), the redemption and repurchase of an aggregate of $426.4 million of senior unsecured notes during 2021, the repayment of certain non-recourse mortgage notes during 2021, the repayment of $90.0 million of the then-outstanding balance of the Term Loan B during October 2021, and the $124.1 million repayment of the remaining balance of the Term Loan B during May 2022, all as further described hereinafter, which also contributed to a reduction in interest expense during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 compared with the same period in 2021.

Although we are exposed to rising interest rates, we have reduced our exposure to rising interest rates by paying down our variable rate debt. The only remaining variable rate debt we have is associated with our New Term Loan A, which had an outstanding balance of $97.5 million as of September 30, 2022, and our New Revolving Credit Facility, which has no outstanding balance and remains undrawn.

On May 19, 2022, we voluntarily repaid in full the debt outstanding under our Term Loan B, amounting to $124.1 million, and satisfied all of our outstanding obligations under the Term Loan areB.

The Original 8.25% Senior Notes were priced at 99.0% of face value and as a result have an effective yield to maturity of 8.50%. We used a significant amount of the net proceeds from the offering of the Original 8.25% Senior Notes (i) to redeem all of our previous $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75%5.0% senior unsecured notes, which were due in 2022, or the 5.0% Senior Notes, including the payment of the applicable "make-whole" redemption amount of $15.5 million and accrued interest, and (ii) to repurchase $149.0 million of our $350.0 million principal amount of 4.625% senior unsecured notes due October 15, 2027.  We used2023, or the 4.625% Senior Notes, at an aggregate purchase price of $151.2 million in privately negotiated transactions, reducing the outstanding balance of the 4.625% Senior Notes to $201.0 million.

In addition, in the second and third quarters of 2022, we purchased an additional $7.1 million of the 4.625% Senior Notes at a weighted average purchase price approximately equal to par in open market purchases, reducing the outstanding balance of the 4.625% Senior Notes to $166.5 million as of September 30, 2022. The "make-whole" redemption amount paid in connection with the redemption of the 5.0% Senior Notes and the aggregate price paid for the 4.625% Senior Notes in excess of the principal amount of the notes repurchased resulted in charges of approximately $19.2 million during the second quarter of 2021, including costs associated with the repurchases and the proportionate write-off of existing debt issuance costs. The remaining net proceeds from the offeringissuance of the Original 8.25% Senior Notes were used to pay down a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Previous Revolving Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.

The Additional 8.25% Senior Notes and the Original 8.25% Senior Notes, together the 8.25% Senior Notes, constitute a single class of securities and have identical terms, other than issue date and issue price. The issuance of the Additional 8.25% Senior Notes increased the total aggregate principal amount of the 8.25% Senior Notes outstanding to $675.0 million. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Additional 8.25% Senior Notes totaled approximately $225.5 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses and including the original issuance premium. We used the net proceeds from the offering of the Additional 8.25% Senior Notes to pay down our revolving credit facility which hadPrevious Revolving Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. In the third quarter of 2022, we purchased $33.5 million of the 8.25% Senior Notes at a variable weighted average interest ratepurchase price approximately equal to par in open market purchases, reducing the outstanding balance of 2.7% atthe 8.25% Senior Notes to $641.5 million as of September 30, 2017.  While our interest expense is expected to increase in the future as a result of this refinancing, we reduced our exposure to variable rate debt, extended our weighted average maturity, and increased the availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility.2022.

Expenses associated with debt repayments and refinancing transactions

During the third quarter of 2022, we incurred charges of $0.8 million for the write-off of a pro-rata portion of the loan costs associated with the aforementioned open market purchases of the 4.625% Senior Notes and the 8.25% Senior Notes, net of discounts to the principal balance of notes purchased.

Income tax expense

On August 5, 2020, we announced that our BOD unanimously approved a plan to revoke our REIT election and become a taxable C Corporation, effective January 1, 2021. As a result, we are no interest capitalized duringlonger required to operate under REIT rules, including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our stockholders, which provides us with greater flexibility to use our free cash flow.

We continued to operate as a REIT for the remainder of the 2020 tax year, and existing REIT requirements and limitations, including those established by our organizational documents, remained in place until January 1, 2021. Effective January 1, 2021, we became subject to federal and state income taxes on our taxable income at applicable tax rates, and are no longer entitled to a tax deduction for dividends paid. We recorded an income tax expense of $24.2 million and $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $34.9 million and $128.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included an income tax expense of $19.5 million associated with the gain on sale of real estate assets previously described, partially offset by an income tax benefit associated with shareholder litigation expenses, asset impairments, and expenses associated with debt repayments and refinancing transactions previously described. Income tax expense for the first nine months of 2021 included $114.2 million primarily resulting from the revaluation of our net deferred tax liabilities due to the completion of all significant actions necessary to revoke our REIT election. No catch-up tax payments or penalties resulted from the revocation of our REIT election. Income tax expense related to operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.  Capitalized interest2021 was $0.2partially offset by an income tax benefit of $1.4 million and $0.4$19.7 million, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.  Capitalized interest in 2016 was primarilyrespectively, associated with the expansion project at our Red Rock Correctional Center.

Income tax expense

Duringsettlement agreement reached on April 16, 2021 in connection with the three months ended September 30, 2017shareholder litigation, incremental expenses directly associated with COVID-19 (reflected in operating expenses), asset impairments, and 2016, our financial statements reflectedexpenses associated with debt repayments and refinancing transactions, net of an income tax expense associated with the gain on sale of $2.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, our financial statements reflected an income tax expense of $8.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively.  real estate assets.

Our effective tax rate was 5.8% and 3.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  As a REIT, we are entitled to a deduction for dividends paid, resulting in a substantial reduction in the amount of federal income tax expense we recognize.  Substantially all of our income tax expense is incurred based on the earnings generated by our TRSs.  Our overall effective tax rate is estimated based on the current projection of taxable income primarily generated in our TRSs.  Our consolidated effective tax rate could fluctuate in the future based on changes in estimates of taxable income, the relative amounts of taxable income generated by the TRSs and the REIT, the implementation of additional tax planning strategies, changes in federal or state tax rates or laws affecting tax credits available to us, changes in other tax laws, changes in estimates related to uncertain tax positions, or changes in state apportionment factors, as well as changes in the valuation allowance applied to our deferred tax assets that are based primarily on the amount of state net operating losses and tax credits that could expire unused.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal capital requirements are for working capital, stockholder distributions, capital expenditures, and debt service payments.  Capital requirements may also include cash expenditures associated with ourpayments, as well as outstanding commitments and contingencies, as further discussed in the notes to our financial statementsstatements. Effective January 1, 2021, we became subject to federal and state income taxes on our taxable income at applicable tax rates, and are no longer entitled to a tax deduction for dividends paid, which were available when we elected REIT status. However, we believe this conversion in corporate tax structure improves our overall credit profile and will lower our overall cost of capital, as further describedwe are able to allocate our free cash flow toward the repayment of debt, which may include the purchase of our outstanding debt in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Any such debt repurchases will depend upon prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual requirements, applicable securities laws requirements, and other factors. During 2021 and the first nine months of 2022, we repaid $574.5 million of debt, net of the change in cash. Following our first priority of utilizing free cash flow to reduce debt, we expect to allocate a substantial portion of our free cash flow to returning capital to our shareholders, which could include share repurchases and future dividends. Any future dividend is subject to the BOD's determinations as to the amount of distributions and the timing thereof, as well as limitations under the Company's debt covenants. We were not able to implement a meaningful share repurchase program under the REIT structure without increasing our debt because a substantial portion of our free cash flow was required to satisfy the distribution requirements under the REIT structure. On May 2, 2022, the BOD approved a share repurchase program to purchase up to $150.0 million of our common stock. On August 2, 2022, the BOD increased the authorization to repurchase under the share purchase program by up to an additional $75.0 million of our common stock, which resulted in a total aggregate authorized amount to repurchase of up to $225.0 million of our common stock. Repurchases of our outstanding common stock will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made at our discretion based on parameters set by our 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 the BOD in its discretion at any time. Through September 30, 2022, we completed the repurchase of 6.6 million shares of our common stock at a total cost of $74.5 million, using cash on hand and cash provided by operations.

We will also pursue attractive growth opportunities, including new development opportunities in our 2016 Form 10-K.  Additionally,Properties segment, to meet the need to modernize outdated correctional infrastructure across the country, and explore potential opportunities to expand the scope of non-residential correctional alternatives we mayprovide in our Community segment that were not available under the REIT structure. As a REIT, we depended on the capital markets to provide resources we could deploy toward acquisition and development opportunities. This capital was not always available to us and came at an increasing cost. The revocation of our REIT election provides us with significantly more liquidity and financial flexibility, which enables us to reduce our reliance on the capital markets and enabled us to reduce the size of our Bank Credit Facility.

With the extensively aged criminal justice infrastructure in the U.S. today, we believe we can bring real estate and financing solutions to government agencies like we did in connection with the construction of the Lansing Correctional Facility that commenced operations in January 2020. We financed the construction of the Lansing Correctional Facility 100% with project specific financing, requiring no equity commitment from us. We believe we can also provide other real estate solutions to government agencies faced with extensively aged criminal justice infrastructure, including "turn-key" solutions like those we are providing to the state of Arizona in connection with the new contract awarded to us during the fourth quarter of 2021 at our La Palma Correctional Center, as well as real estate only solutions to government agencies that need correctional capacity where they prefer to perform the operations. We expect to incur $4.0 million to $5.0 million in capital expenditures for the award from the state of Arizona. Most real estate only solutions would not require material capital expenditures if we have existing capacity. However, in the future we could incur capital expenditures to expandprovide replacement capacity for government agencies that have extensively aged criminal justice infrastructure and are in need of new capacity.

In July 2022, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the design capacityGeorgia Building Authority to purchase the 1,978-bed McRae Correctional Facility for a price of certain of our facilities (in$130.0 million in order to retain management contracts)update their aged and to increase our inmate bed capacity for anticipated demand from currentinefficient public sector correctional infrastructure. We completed the sale in August 2022. The sale of the McRae facility generated net sales proceeds of $129.7 million. We also sold two additional properties and future customers.  We may acquire additional correctional facilities and residential reentry centers, as well as other real estate assets, with a bias toward those used to provide mission critical governmental services, that we believe have favorable investment returns, diversify our cash flows, and increase value to our stockholders.  We will also consider opportunities for growth, including, but not limited to, potential acquisitionsparcel of businesses within our lines of business


and those that provide complementary services, provided we believe such opportunities will broaden our market share and/or increase the services we can provide to our customers.  

To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we generally are required to distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains). Our REIT taxable income will not typically include income earned by our TRSs except to the extent our TRSs pay dividends to the REIT.  Our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.42 for the first, second, and third quarters of 2017 totaling $50.0 million in the first quarter, $50.1 million in the second quarter, and $50.1 million inland during the third quarter.  The amount, timingquarter of 2022 that generated net sales proceeds of approximately $15.6 million, and frequencyhave entered into additional agreements to sell two additional properties in our Properties segment and a property in our Community segment for an aggregate gross sales price of future distributions$7.2 million.

We currently anticipate that we will have sufficient liquidity to repay the remaining outstanding 4.625% Senior Notes upon maturity.

Our cash flow is subject to the receipt of sufficient funding of and timely payment by contracting governmental entities. If the appropriate governmental agency does not receive sufficient appropriations to cover its contractual obligations, it may terminate our contract or delay or reduce payment to us. Delays in payment from our major customers or the termination of contracts from our major customers could have an adverse effect on our cash flow and financial condition and, consequently, dividend distributions tocondition. Although our shareholders.revenue has been negatively impacted by COVID-19, we have not experienced any unusual delays in payments from our major customers.

On February 10, 2017, we acquired the Stockton Female Community Corrections Facility, a 100-bed residential reentry center in Stockton, California, in a real estate-only transaction;  

On June 1, 2017, we acquired the real estate operated by Center Point, a California-based non-profit organization.  We consolidated a portion of Center Point's operations into our preexisting residential reentry center portfolio and assumed ownership and operations of the Oklahoma City Transitional Center, a 200-bed residential reentry center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma;  

On August 1, 2017, we acquired NBTC, an Arizona-based community corrections company, along with the real estate used in the operation of NBTC's business from an affiliate of NBTC.  In connection with the NBTC acquisition, we assumed a contract with the BOP to provide reentry services to male and female adults at the 92-bed Oracle Transitional Center located in Tucson, Arizona; and

Funds from Operations

Funds From Operations, or FFO, is a widely accepted supplemental non-GAAP measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate companies. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,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. We believe FFO is an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is 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 when reporting results.

41


We also present Normalized FFO as an additional supplemental measure as we believe it is more reflective of our core operating performance. We may make adjustments to FFO from time to time for certain other income and expenses that we consider 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 our ongoing operations.  Even though expenses associated with M&A 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 our ongoing operations, may not be comparable from period to period. Normalized FFO excludes the effects of such items.

FFO and Normalized FFO are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of real estate companies' operating performances,performance, which do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered an alternative for net income or as a measure of liquidity. Our method of calculating FFO and Normalized FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and real estate operating companies and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such REITs and other REITs.real estate operating companies.

Our reconciliation of net income to FFO and Normalized FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172022 and 20162021 is as follows (in thousands):

The cash obligations in the table above do not include future cash obligations for variable interest expense associated with our New Term Loan A or the balance on our outstanding revolving credit facilityNew Revolving Credit Facility, if any, as projections would be based on future outstanding balances as well as future variable interest rates, and we are unable to make reliable estimates of either. Further, the cash obligations in the table above also do not include future cash obligations for uncertain tax positions as we are unable to make reliable estimates of the timing of such payments, if any, to the taxing authorities. The contractual facility developments included in the table above represent development projects for which we have already entered into a contract with a customer that obligates us to complete the development project. Certain of our other ongoing construction projects are not currently under contract and thus are not included as a contractual obligation above as we may generally suspend or terminate such projects without substantial penalty. With respect to the South Texas Family Residential Center, the cash obligations included in the table above reflect the full contractual obligations of the lease of the site, excluding contingent payments, even though the lease agreement provides us with the ability to terminate if ICE terminates the amended IGSA as previously described herein.  associated with the facility.

We had $6.9$16.8 million of letters of credit outstanding at September 30, 20172022 primarily to support our requirement to repay fees and claims under our self-insured workers' compensation plan in the event we do not repay the fees and claims due in accordance with the terms of the plan.plan, and for a debt service reserve requirement under terms of the Kansas Notes. The letters of credit are renewable annually. We did not have any draws under anythese outstanding letters of credit during the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 or 2016.  2021.

INFLATION

Many of our contracts include provisions for inflationary indexing, which mitigatesmay mitigate an adverse impact of inflation on net income. However, a substantial increase in personnel costs, workers' compensation, orutilities, food, and medical expenses could have an adverse impact on our results of operations in the future to the extent that these expenses increase at a faster pace than the per diem or fixed rates we receive for our management services. As previously described herein, we have experienced increases in personnel costs and expect the labor market to remain challenging, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations. We outsource our food service operations to a third party. The contract with our outsourced food service vendor contains certain protections against increases in food costs.


SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS

OurCertain aspects of our business isare subject to seasonal fluctuations. Because we are generally compensated for operating and managing correctional, detention, and reentry facilities at an inmatea per diem rate, our financial results are impacted by the number of calendar days in a fiscal quarter. Our fiscal year follows the calendar year and therefore, our daily profits for the third and fourth quarters include two more days than the first quarter (except in leap years) and one more day than the second quarter. Further, salaries and benefits represent the most significant component of operating expenses. Significant portions of the Company'sour unemployment taxes are recognized during the first quarter, when base wage rates reset for unemployment tax purposes. Finally, quarterlyQuarterly results are also affected by government funding initiatives, acquisitions, the timing of the opening of new facilities, or the commencement of new management contracts and related start-up expenses which may mitigate or exacerbate the impact of other seasonal influences. Because of these seasonality factors, and other factors described herein, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in U.S. interest rates. In an effort to mitigate inflation, the Federal Reserve has increased interest rates throughout the first nine months of 2022, and it is anticipated that interest rates will continue to rise in the near term. We are exposed to market risk related to our revolving credit facility and Term LoanBank Credit Facility because the interest rates on our revolving credit facility and Term Loanthese loans are subject to fluctuations in the market. We were also exposed to market risk related to our Term Loan B prior to its prepayment in full in May 2022. If the interest rate for our outstanding indebtedness under the revolving credit facilityRevolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan A, and the Term Loan B for the nine-month period was 100 basis points higher or lower (but not less than 0%) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2022, our interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, would have been increased orby $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and would have been decreased by $1.4$0.3 million and $4.1$0.5 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2017,2022, we had outstanding $325.0 million of senior notes due 2020 with a fixed interest rate of 4.125%, $350.0$166.5 million of senior notes due 2023 with a fixed interest rate of 4.625%, $641.5 million of senior notes due 2026 with a fixed interest rate of 8.25%, and $250.0 million of senior notes due 20222027 with a fixed interest rate of 5.0%4.75%. We also had $151.6 million outstanding under the Kansas Notes with a fixed interest rate of 4.43%. Because the interest rates with respect to these instruments are fixed, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would not have a material impact on our financial statements.

We may, from time to time, invest our cash in a variety of short-term financial instruments. These instruments generally consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less. While these investments are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value if market interest rates increase, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would not materially affect the value of these instruments.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

In a memorandum to the BOP dated August 18, 2016, the DOJ directed that, as each contract with privately operated prisons reaches the end of its term, the BOP should either decline to renew that contract or substantially reduce its scope in a manner consistent with law and the overall decline of the BOP's inmate population.  In addition to the decline in the BOP's inmate population, the DOJ memorandum cites purported operational, programming, and cost efficiency factors as reasons for the DOJ directive.  On February 21, 2017, the newly appointed Attorney General issued a memorandum rescinding the DOJ's prior directive stating the memorandum changed long-standing policy and practice and impaired the BOP's ability to meet the future needs of the federal correctional system.

Following the release of the August 18, 2016 DOJ memorandum, a purported securities class action lawsuit was filed against us and certain of our current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, captioned Grae v. Corrections Corporation of America et al., Case No. 3:16-cv-02267.  The lawsuit is brought on behalf of a putative class of shareholders who purchased or acquired our securities between February 27, 2012 and August 17, 2016.  In general, the lawsuit alleges that, during this timeframe, our public statements were false and/or misleading regarding the purported operational, programming, and cost efficiency factors cited in the DOJ memorandum and, as a result, our stock price was artificially inflated.  The lawsuit alleges that the publication of the DOJ memorandum on August 18, 2016 revealed the alleged fraud, causing the per share price of our stock to decline, thereby causing harm to the putative class of shareholders.  We believe the lawsuit is entirely without merit and intend to vigorously defend against it.  We have submitted a motion to dismiss and are awaiting a ruling on such motion.  In addition, we maintain insurance, with certain self-insured retention amounts, to cover the alleged claims which mitigates the risk such litigation would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

RISK FACTORS.

We may not be able to successfully identify, consummate or integrate acquisitions.  We have an active acquisition program, the objectiveITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Item 1A of which is to identify suitable acquisition targets that will enhance our growth and diversify our cash flows. The pursuit of acquisitions may pose certain risks to us. We may not be able to identify acquisition candidates that fit our criteria for growth, profitability and diversification strategy. Even if we are able to identify such candidates, we may not be able to acquire them on terms satisfactory to us. We will incur expenses and dedicate attention and resources associated with the review and pursuit of acquisition opportunities, whether or not we consummate such acquisitions.

Additionally, even if we are able to identify and acquire suitable targets on agreeable terms, we may not be able to successfully integrate their operations with ours. Achieving the anticipated benefits of any acquisition will depend in significant part upon whether we integrate such acquired businesses in an efficient and effective manner. We may not be able to achieve the anticipated operating and cost synergies or long-term strategic benefitsPart 1 of our acquisitions within the anticipated timing, or at all. We may also assume liabilities in connection with acquisitions to which we would otherwise not be exposed.
