ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2019
ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS	1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS CoreCivic, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company" or "CoreCivic") is the nation's largest owner of partnership correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities and one of the largest prison operators in the United States. The Company also believes it is the largest private owner of real estate used by U.S. government agencies. Through three segments, CoreCivic Safety, CoreCivic Community, and CoreCivic Properties, the Company provides a broad range of solutions to government partners that serve the public good through corrections and detention management, a growing network of residential reentry centers to help address America's recidivism crisis, and government real estate solutions. As of March 31, 2019, through its CoreCivic Safety segment, the Company operated 51 correctional and detention facilities, 44 of which the Company owned, with a total design capacity of approximately 73,000 beds. Through its CoreCivic Community segment, the Company owned and operated 27 residential reentry centers with a total design capacity of approximately 5,000 beds. In addition, through its CoreCivic Properties segment, the Company owned 27 properties leased to third parties and used by government agencies, totaling 2.3 million square 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. CoreCivic began operating as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") effective January 1, 2013. The Company provides 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 permits CoreCivic to engage in certain business activities in which the REIT may not engage directly, so long as these activities are conducted in entities that elect to be treated as TRSs under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and enable CoreCivic to, among other things, provide correctional services at facilities it owns and at facilities owned by its government partners. 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	2. 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 ("US GAAP") 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 for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 25, 2019 (the "2018 Form 10-K") with respect to certain significant accounting and financial reporting policies as well as other pertinent information of the Company. Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated balance sheets in 2018 to conform to the current year presentation. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Lease Adoption In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 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 finance leases and operating leases, a lessee should recognize on the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use ("ROU") asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, with each initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. 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. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, "Targeted Improvements – Leases (Topic 842)", which permits entities to adopt a new transition method whereby the modified retrospective transition method would allow companies to recognize the cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption rather than the earliest period presented and continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 840, "Leases", in the comparative periods presented. Further, ASU 2018-11 also allows entities to elect, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components when certain criteria are met. Adoption results in an increase in long-term assets and liabilities for leases where the Company is the lessee. CoreCivic adopted ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11, cumulatively ("ASC 842"), on January 1, 2019. The Company elected the modified retrospective transition method and recognized the cumulative-effect adjustment resulting from adoption of ASC 842 in the first quarter of 2019. CoreCivic also elected to adopt the package of available practical expedients that permits lessees and lessors to not reassess certain items, including whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, lease classification of any expired or existing leases, and initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. In addition, the Company made an accounting policy election to apply the "short-term lease exception" permitted by ASC 842 for all classes of underlying assets. With the exception of the South Texas Family Residential Center lease, as further described hereafter, the Company also elected the practical expedient that permits lessees to make an accounting policy election to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component. Prior to the adoption of ASC 842, a portion of the rental payments for the South Texas Family Residential Center was classified as depreciation and interest expense in accordance with ASC 840-40-55, formerly Emerging Issues Task Force No. 97-10, "The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction." Upon adoption of ASC 842, all rental payments associated with this lease are classified as operating expenses. Upon adoption of ASC 842, CoreCivic recognized a ROU asset and a lease liability of $82.9 million for all operating leases identified by the Company as applicable under the guidance of ASC 842, including the lease for the South Texas Family Residential Center. For those operating leases that contain renewal options, the Company included the renewal period in the lease terms, and the related payments are reflected in the ROU asset and lease liability, when it is reasonably certain that a renewal option will be exercised. The ROU asset, amounting to $76.2 million at March 31, 2019, is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, while the current portion of the lease liability, amounting to $28.1 million at March 31, 2019, is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and the long-term portion of the liability, amounting to $48.3 million at March 31, 2019, is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company also recognized a net charge of approximately $29.9 million to accumulated deficit upon adoption of ASC 842. CoreCivic leases land and buildings from third-party lessors for multiple properties under operating leases that expire over varying dates through 2023. CoreCivic leases the South Texas Family Residential Center and the site upon which it was constructed from a third-party lessor. CoreCivic's lease agreement with the lessor is over a base period concurrent with an inter-governmental service agreement ("IGSA") with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") which was amended in October 2016 to extend the term of the agreement through September 2021. However, ICE can terminate the IGSA for convenience or non-appropriation of funds, without penalty, by providing CoreCivic with at least a 60-day notice. In the event CoreCivic cancels 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 CoreCivic is unable to reach an agreement for the continued use of the facility within 90 days from the termination date, CoreCivic is required to pay a termination fee to the third-party lessor based on the termination date, currently equal to $7.0 million and declining to zero by October 2020. Under provisions of ASC 842, CoreCivic determined that the South Texas Family Residential Center lease with the third-party lessor includes a non-lease component for food services representing 44% of the consideration paid under the lease. The expense incurred for all operating leases, inclusive of short-term and variable leases, was $8.4 million and $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The cash payments for operating leases are reflected as cash flows from operating activities on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows and cash payments for financing leases are reflected as cash flows from financing activities. Future minimum lease payments as of March 31, 2019 for the Company's operating lease liabilities, inclusive of $71.3 million of payments expected to be made under the cancelable lease at the South Texas facility (excluding the non-lease food services component), are as follows (in thousands): 2019 (remainder) $ 23,499 2020 31,278 2021 22,836 2022 1,413 2023 878 Thereafter 2,357 Total future minimum lease payments 82,261 Less amount representing interest (5,911 ) Total present value of minimum lease payments $ 76,350 In addition, through its CoreCivic Properties segment, the Company owns 27 properties leased to third parties and used by government agencies under operating leases that expire over varying dates through 2034, some of which contain renewal options. 2019 (remainder) $ 55,941 2020 73,904 2021 67,541 2022 61,108 2023 58,671 Thereafter 410,147 Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Other In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016 13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which will change how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The ASU will replace the current "incurred loss" approach with an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, contract assets, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking "expected loss" model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of this ASU to determine the potential impact on its financial statements, however the Company does not currently expect the new standard will have a material impact on its financial statements. Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the SEC did not, or are not expected to, have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position. Fair Value of Financial Instruments To meet the reporting requirements of 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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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): March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Note receivable from Agecroft Prison Management, LTD $ 2,953 $ 4,129 $ 2,887 $ 4,037 Debt $ (1,856,060 ) $ (1,808,872 ) $ (1,814,795 ) $ (1,744,045 )

GOODWILL

GOODWILL	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2019
GOODWILL	3. GOODWILL ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test of Goodwill Impairment", establishes accounting and reporting requirements for goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill was $48.2 million as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Of this amount, goodwill was $7.9 million as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for the Company's CoreCivic Safety segment, and was $40.3 million as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for its CoreCivic Community segment. This goodwill was established in connection with multiple business combination transactions. Under the provisions of ASU 2017-04, CoreCivic performs a qualitative assessment 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. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If a quantitative test is required, CoreCivic performs an assessment to identify the existence of impairment and to measure the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value by using a combination of various common valuation techniques, including market multiples and discounted cash flows. These impairment tests are required to be performed at least annually. CoreCivic performs its impairment tests during the fourth quarter, in connection with its annual budgeting process and whenever circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable.

REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS	3 Months Ended

REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS	4. REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS Acquisitions On February 20, 2019, CoreCivic acquired the South Raleigh Reentry Center, a 60-bed residential reentry center in Raleigh, North Carolina, for $0.9 million, excluding transaction-related expenses. In connection with the acquisition, CoreCivic expects to become the contracting party to a contract with the Federal Bureau of Prisons to provide reentry services for both male and female residents. In allocating the purchase price of this transaction, CoreCivic recorded $0.9 million of net tangible assets. CoreCivic acquired the property as a strategic investment that further expands the Company's network of residential reentry centers. On May 6, 2019, CoreCivic acquired a 36,520-square foot office building in Detroit, Michigan, for $7.2 million, excluding transaction-related expenses, that was built-to-suit for the state of Michigan's Department of Health and Human Services ("MDHHS") in 2002. The property is 100% leased to the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget ("MDTMB") on behalf of MDHHS through June 2028 and includes one six-year renewal option at the sole discretion of the MDTMB. Financing Leasing Transactions On January 24, 2018, CoreCivic entered into a 20-year lease agreement with the KDOC for a 2,432-bed correctional facility the Company is constructing in Lansing, Kansas. The new facility will replace the Lansing Correctional Facility, the State's largest correctional complex for adult male inmates, originally constructed in 1863. CoreCivic will be responsible for facility maintenance throughout the 20-year term of the lease, at which time ownership will revert to the State. Construction of the new facility commenced in the first quarter of 2018 and is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2020. CoreCivic expects to account for the lease with the KDOC as a multiple element lease with a portion of the lease payments attributable to the capital lease. In addition, portions of the lease payments will be attributable to maintenance services and capital maintenance, representing two separately valued non-lease components. As of March 31, 2019, CoreCivic has capitalized $74.4 million associated with the construction of the project. Idle Facilities As of March 31, 2019, CoreCivic had eight idled facilities that are currently available and being actively marketed as solutions to meet the needs of potential customers. The following table summarizes each of the idled facilities and their respective carrying values, excluding equipment and other assets that could generally be transferred and used at other facilities CoreCivic owns without significant cost (dollars in thousands) Net Carrying Values Design Date March 31, December 31, Facility Capacity Idled 2019 2018 Prairie Correctional Facility 1,600 2010 $ 15,086 $ 15,278 Huerfano County Correctional Center 752 2010 16,497 16,660 Diamondback Correctional Facility 2,160 2010 40,800 40,962 Southeast Kentucky Correctional Facility 656 2012 20,889 21,098 Marion Adjustment Center 826 2013 11,666 11,770 Kit Carson Correctional Center 1,488 2016 55,069 55,507 Eden Detention Center 1,422 2017 37,966 38,349 Torrance County Detention Facility 910 2017 34,968 35,355 9,814 $ 232,941 $ 234,979 CoreCivic also has two idled non-core facilities containing an aggregate of 440 beds with an aggregate net book value of $3.7 million. CoreCivic incurred approximately $3.1 million and $3.5 million in operating expenses at the idled facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. CoreCivic considers the cancellation of a contract as an indicator of impairment and tested each of the idled facilities for impairment when it was notified by the respective customers that they would no longer be utilizing such facility. CoreCivic updates the impairment analyses on an annual basis for each of the idled facilities and evaluates on a quarterly basis market developments for the potential utilization of each of these facilities in order to identify events that may cause CoreCivic to reconsider its most recent assumptions. As a result of CoreCivic's analyses, CoreCivic determined each of the idled facilities to have recoverable values in excess of the corresponding carrying values.

On April 17, 2018, CoreCivic entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.0 billion. The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan of $200.0 million (the "Term Loan") and a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $800.0 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Credit Agreement has a maturity of April 2023. The Credit Agreement also contains an "accordion" feature that provides for uncommitted incremental extensions of credit in the form of increases in the revolving commitments or incremental term loans of up to $350.0 million as requested by CoreCivic. At CoreCivic's option, interest on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 1.00 % or at the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a margin ranging from 1.00 % to 2.00 % based on CoreCivic's then-current leverage ratio. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $ 30.0 million sublimit for swing line loans that enables CoreCivic to borrow at the base rate from the Administrative Agent on same-day notice. Based on CoreCivic's current total leverage ratio, loans under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the base rate plus a margin of 0.50% or at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50%, and a commitment fee equal to 0.35% of the unfunded balance. The Revolving Credit Facility also has a $50.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. As of March 31, 2019, CoreCivic had $214.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as well as $23.7 million in letters of credit outstanding resulting in $562.3 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of all of the capital stock of CoreCivic's domestic restricted subsidiaries, 65% of the capital stock of CoreCivic's foreign subsidiaries, all of CoreCivic's accounts receivable, and all of CoreCivic's deposit accounts. The Revolving Credit Facility requires CoreCivic to meet certain financial covenants, including, without limitation, a maximum total leverage ratio, a maximum secured leverage ratio, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. As of March 31, 2019, CoreCivic was in compliance with all such covenants. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, payment of dividends and other customary restricted payments, permitted investments, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, mergers and consolidations, liquidations, prepayments and modifications of other indebtedness, liens and other encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to certain cross-default provisions with terms of CoreCivic's other unsecured indebtedness, and is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of a change of control. Incremental Term Loan. Interest rate margins under the Term Loan are the same as the interest rate margins under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan also has the same collateral requirements, financial and certain other covenants, and cross-default provisions as the Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan, which is pre-payable without penalty, also has a maturity concurrent with the Revolving Credit Facility due April 2023, with scheduled quarterly principal payments through April 2023. As of March 31, 2019, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan was $196.3 million. Senior Notes. Interest on the $325.0 million aggregate principal amount of CoreCivic's 4.125% senior notes issued in April 2013 (the "4.125% Senior Notes") accrues at the stated rate and is payable in April and October of each year. The 4.125% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on April 1, 2020. Interest on the $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of CoreCivic's 4.625% senior notes issued in April 2013 (the "4.625% Senior Notes") accrues at the stated rate and is payable in May and November of each year. The 4.625% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on May 1, 2023. Interest on the $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of CoreCivic's 5.0% senior notes issued in September 2015 (the "5.0% Senior Notes") accrues at the stated rate and is payable in April and October of each year. The 5.0% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on October 15, 2022. Interest on the $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of CoreCivic's 4.75% senior notes issued in October 2017 (the "4.75% Senior Notes") accrues at the stated rate and is payable in April and October of each year. The 4.75% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on October 15, 2027. The 4.125% Senior Notes, the 4.625% Senior Notes, the 5.0% Senior Notes, and the 4.75% Senior Notes, collectively referred to herein as the "Senior Notes", are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by all of the Company's subsidiaries that guarantee the Revolving Credit Facility. CoreCivic may redeem all or part of the Senior Notes at any time prior to three months before their respective maturity date at a "make-whole" redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. Thereafter, the Senior Notes are redeemable at CoreCivic's option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. Non-Recourse Mortgage Notes: Capital Commerce Center . On January 19, 2018, CoreCivic acquired the 261,000 square-foot Capital Commerce Center, located in Tallahassee, Florida, for a purchase price of $44.7 million. The acquisition was partially financed with a $24.5 million non-recourse mortgage note (the "Capital Commerce Note"), which is fully-secured by the Capital Commerce Center property, with an interest rate of 4.5%, maturing in January 2033. Principal and interest on the Capital Commerce Note are payable in equal monthly payments over the 15-year term of the note. The Capital Commerce Note is pre-payable at any time with a prepayment charge, if any, equal to an amount so as to maintain the same yield on the Capital Commerce Note as if it had been carried through to its full term using Treasury instruments having a term equal to the remaining term of the Capital Commerce Note as of the prepayment date. CoreCivic capitalized approximately $0.4 million of costs associated with the Capital Commerce Note. As of March 31, 2019, the outstanding balance of the mortgage note was $23.1 million. Lansing Correctional Facility. On April 20, 2018, CoreCivic of Kansas, LLC (the "Issuer"), a wholly-owned unrestricted subsidiary of the Company, priced $159.5 million in aggregate principal amount of non-recourse senior secured notes of the Issuer (the "Kansas Notes"), in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The private placement closed on June 1, 2018. The Company is using the proceeds of the private placement, which are drawn on quarterly funding dates beginning in the second quarter of 2018, to fund construction of the Lansing Correctional Facility, along with costs and expenses of the project. The Kansas Notes have a yield to maturity of 4.43% and are scheduled to mature in January 2040, approximately 20 years following completion of the project, which is expected to occur during the first quarter of 2020. Principal and interest on the Kansas Notes will be payable in quarterly payments beginning in July 2020 until maturity. CoreCivic may redeem all or part of the Kansas Notes at any time upon written notice of not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment, with a "make-whole" amount, together with interest on the Kansas Notes accrued to, but not including, the redemption date. CoreCivic capitalized approximately $3.4 million of costs associated with the private placement. Because the Issuer has been designated as an unrestricted subsidiary of the Company under terms of the Company's Credit Agreement, the issuance and service of the Kansas Notes, and the revenues and expenses associated with the facility lease, will not impact the financial covenants associated with the Company's Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2019, the outstanding balance of the Kansas Notes was $93.5 million. SSA-Baltimore. On August 23, 2018, CoreCivic acquired the 541,000 square-foot SSA-Baltimore office building for a purchase price of $242.0 million. In connection with the acquisition, a wholly-owned unrestricted subsidiary of the Company assumed $157.3 million of in-place financing that was used to fund the initial construction of the property in 2014. The assumed non-recourse mortgage note (the "SSA-Baltimore Note") carries a fixed interest rate of 4.5% and requires monthly principal and interest payments, with a balloon payment of $40.0 million due at maturity in February 2034. The SSA-Baltimore Note is fully-secured by the SSA-Baltimore property. CoreCivic may pre-pay the SSA-Baltimore Note in whole or in part upon not less than 30 days' and not more than 60 days' prior written notice and such pre-payment shall include a "make-whole" amount. During the last 90 days of the permanent loan term and upon 30 days' prior written notice, CoreCivic may prepay the note in full, including any accrued and outstanding interest on any permanent loan payment date, without the payment of the "make-whole" amount. CoreCivic capitalized approximately $0.2 million of costs associated with the assumption of the SSA-Baltimore Note. As of March 31, 2019, the outstanding balance of the SSA-Baltimore Note was $154.2 million. CoreCivic may also seek to issue additional debt or equity securities from time to time when the Company determines that market conditions and the opportunity to utilize the proceeds from the issuance of such securities are favorable. Debt Maturities. Scheduled principal payments as of March 31, 2019 for the remainder of 2019, the next four years, and thereafter were as follows (in thousands): 2019 (remainder) $ 11,245 2020 343,849 2021 20,337 2022 274,231 2023 734,360 Thereafter 472,038 Total debt $ 1,856,060

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Dividends on Common Stock During 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, CoreCivic's Board of Directors declared the following quarterly dividends on its common stock: Declaration Date Record Date Payable Date Per Share February 22, 2018 April 2, 2018 April 16, 2018 $ 0.43 May 11, 2018 July 2, 2018 July 16, 2018 $ 0.43 August 16, 2018 October 1, 2018 October 15, 2018 $ 0.43 December 13, 2018 January 2, 2019 January 15, 2019 $ 0.43 February 21, 2019 April 1, 2019 April 15, 2019 $ 0.44 Future dividends will depend on CoreCivic's distribution requirements as a REIT, future cash flows and earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, limitations under debt covenants, opportunities for alternative uses of capital, and on such other factors as the Board of Directors of CoreCivic may consider relevant. Stock Options Since 2012, CoreCivic has elected not to issue stock options to its non-employee directors, officers, and executive officers as it had in prior years, and instead elected to issue all of its equity compensation in the form of restricted common stock units ("RSUs"), as described hereafter. All outstanding stock options were fully vested as of December 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2019, options to purchase 0.7 million shares of common stock were outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $20.49 per share. Restricted Stock Units During the first quarter of 2019, CoreCivic issued approximately 892,000 RSUs to certain of its employees and non-employee directors, with an aggregate value of $19.1 million, including 808,000 RSUs to employees and non-employee directors whose compensation is charged to general and administrative expense and 84,000 RSUs to employees whose compensation is charged to operating expense. During 2018, CoreCivic issued approximately 945,000 RSUs to certain of its employees and non-employee directors, with an aggregate value of $20.5 million, including 850,000 RSUs to employees and non-employee directors whose compensation is charged to general and administrative expense and 95,000 RSUs to employees whose compensation is charged to operating expense. Since 2015, CoreCivic During the three months ended March 31, 2019, CoreCivic expensed $3.8 million, net of forfeitures, relating to RSUs ($0.5 million of which was recorded in operating expenses and $3.3 million of which was recorded in general and administrative expenses). During the three months ended March 31, 2018, CoreCivic expensed $3.5 million, net of forfeitures, relating to RSUs ($0.5 million of which was recorded in operating expenses and $3.0 million of which was recorded in general and administrative expenses). As of March 31, 2019, approximately 1.6 million RSUs remained outstanding and subject to vesting.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

EARNINGS PER SHARE	3 Months Ended

EARNINGS PER SHARE	7. 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 grants and stock options. 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): For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 NUMERATOR Basic: Net income $ 49,340 $ 37,777 Diluted: Net income $ 49,340 $ 37,777 DENOMINATOR Basic: Weighted average common shares outstanding 118,836 118,359 Diluted: Weighted average common shares outstanding 118,836 118,359 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options 36 101 Restricted stock-based awards 46 49 Weighted average shares and assumed conversions 118,918 118,509 BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE $ 0.42 $ 0.32 DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE $ 0.41 $ 0.32 Approximately 0.5 million stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for both the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, because they were anti-dilutive.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	8. 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. 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

INCOME TAXES	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2019
INCOME TAXES	9. INCOME TAXES As discussed in Note 1, the Company began operating in compliance with REIT requirements for federal income tax purposes effective January 1, 2013. As a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90 percent of its taxable income (including dividends paid to it by its TRSs) and will not pay federal income taxes on the amount distributed to its stockholders. In addition, the Company must meet a number of other organizational and operational requirements. It is currently management's intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Company's REIT status. Most states where CoreCivic holds investments in real estate conform to the federal rules recognizing REITs. Certain subsidiaries have made an election with the Company to be treated 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. 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. CoreCivic recorded an income tax expense of $2.5 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a REIT, CoreCivic is entitled to a deduction for dividends paid, resulting in a substantial reduction in the amount of federal income tax expense it recognizes. Substantially all of CoreCivic's income tax expense is incurred based on the earnings generated by its TRSs. CoreCivic's overall effective tax rate is estimated based on its current projection of taxable income primarily generated by its TRSs. The Company's 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 the Company, 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 the Company's deferred tax assets that are based primarily on the amount of state net operating losses and tax credits that could expire unused. 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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. 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.

SEGMENT REPORTING

SEGMENT REPORTING	10. SEGMENT REPORTING As of March 31, 2019, CoreCivic operated 51 correctional and detention facilities, 44 of which the Company owned. In addition, CoreCivic owned and operated 27 residential reentry centers and owned 27 properties that it leased to third parties. Management views CoreCivic's operating results in three operating segments, CoreCivic Safety, CoreCivic Community, and CoreCivic 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, 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 Rocky Mountain Offender Management Systems, LLC and Recovery Monitoring Solutions Corporation, subsidiaries of the Company that provide electronic monitoring and case management services. CoreCivic Properties includes the operating results of those properties leased to third parties. The operating performance of the three segments can be measured based on their net operating income. CoreCivic defines facility net operating income as a facility's revenues less operating expenses. The revenue and net operating income for each of the three segments and a reconciliation to CoreCivic's operating income is as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands): For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Revenue: Safety $ 434,318 $ 404,498 Community 30,566 24,800 Properties 19,112 11,615 Total segment revenue 483,996 440,913 Operating expenses: Safety 316,595 296,503 Community 23,496 19,367 Properties 5,652 3,114 Total segment operating expenses 345,743 318,984 Facility net operating income: Safety 117,723 107,995 Community 7,070 5,433 Properties 13,460 8,501 Total facility net operating income 138,253 121,929 Other revenue (expense): Other revenue 68 3 Other operating expense (89 ) (167 ) General and administrative (29,445 ) (24,971 ) Depreciation and amortization (35,523 ) (38,089 ) Operating income $ 73,264 $ 58,705 The following table summarizes capital expenditures including accrued amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands): For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Capital expenditures: Safety $ 19,956 $ 11,470 Community 1,463 7,147 Properties 15,903 40,994 Corporate and other 3,472 6,641 Total capital expenditures $ 40,794 $ 66,252 The total assets are as follows (in thousands): March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Assets: Safety $ 2,643,099 $ 2,621,880 Community 281,842 281,198 Properties 630,198 606,770 Corporate and other 115,241 145,812 Total Assets $ 3,670,380 $ 3,655,660

Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Lease Adoption In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 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 finance leases and operating leases, a lessee should recognize on the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use ("ROU") asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, with each initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. 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. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, "Targeted Improvements – Leases (Topic 842)", which permits entities to adopt a new transition method whereby the modified retrospective transition method would allow companies to recognize the cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption rather than the earliest period presented and continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 840, "Leases", in the comparative periods presented. Further, ASU 2018-11 also allows entities to elect, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components when certain criteria are met. Adoption results in an increase in long-term assets and liabilities for leases where the Company is the lessee. CoreCivic adopted ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11, cumulatively ("ASC 842"), on January 1, 2019. The Company elected the modified retrospective transition method and recognized the cumulative-effect adjustment resulting from adoption of ASC 842 in the first quarter of 2019. CoreCivic also elected to adopt the package of available practical expedients that permits lessees and lessors to not reassess certain items, including whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, lease classification of any expired or existing leases, and initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. In addition, the Company made an accounting policy election to apply the "short-term lease exception" permitted by ASC 842 for all classes of underlying assets. With the exception of the South Texas Family Residential Center lease, as further described hereafter, the Company also elected the practical expedient that permits lessees to make an accounting policy election to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component. Prior to the adoption of ASC 842, a portion of the rental payments for the South Texas Family Residential Center was classified as depreciation and interest expense in accordance with ASC 840-40-55, formerly Emerging Issues Task Force No. 97-10, "The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction." Upon adoption of ASC 842, all rental payments associated with this lease are classified as operating expenses. Upon adoption of ASC 842, CoreCivic recognized a ROU asset and a lease liability of $82.9 million for all operating leases identified by the Company as applicable under the guidance of ASC 842, including the lease for the South Texas Family Residential Center. For those operating leases that contain renewal options, the Company included the renewal period in the lease terms, and the related payments are reflected in the ROU asset and lease liability, when it is reasonably certain that a renewal option will be exercised. The ROU asset, amounting to $76.2 million at March 31, 2019, is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, while the current portion of the lease liability, amounting to $28.1 million at March 31, 2019, is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and the long-term portion of the liability, amounting to $48.3 million at March 31, 2019, is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company also recognized a net charge of approximately $29.9 million to accumulated deficit upon adoption of ASC 842. CoreCivic leases land and buildings from third-party lessors for multiple properties under operating leases that expire over varying dates through 2023. CoreCivic leases the South Texas Family Residential Center and the site upon which it was constructed from a third-party lessor. CoreCivic's lease agreement with the lessor is over a base period concurrent with an inter-governmental service agreement ("IGSA") with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") which was amended in October 2016 to extend the term of the agreement through September 2021. However, ICE can terminate the IGSA for convenience or non-appropriation of funds, without penalty, by providing CoreCivic with at least a 60-day notice. In the event CoreCivic cancels 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 CoreCivic is unable to reach an agreement for the continued use of the facility within 90 days from the termination date, CoreCivic is required to pay a termination fee to the third-party lessor based on the termination date, currently equal to $7.0 million and declining to zero by October 2020. Under provisions of ASC 842, CoreCivic determined that the South Texas Family Residential Center lease with the third-party lessor includes a non-lease component for food services representing 44% of the consideration paid under the lease. The expense incurred for all operating leases, inclusive of short-term and variable leases, was $8.4 million and $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The cash payments for operating leases are reflected as cash flows from operating activities on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows and cash payments for financing leases are reflected as cash flows from financing activities. Future minimum lease payments as of March 31, 2019 for the Company's operating lease liabilities, inclusive of $71.3 million of payments expected to be made under the cancelable lease at the South Texas facility (excluding the non-lease food services component), are as follows (in thousands): 2019 (remainder) $ 23,499 2020 31,278 2021 22,836 2022 1,413 2023 878 Thereafter 2,357 Total future minimum lease payments 82,261 Less amount representing interest (5,911 ) Total present value of minimum lease payments $ 76,350 In addition, through its CoreCivic Properties segment, the Company owns 27 properties leased to third parties and used by government agencies under operating leases that expire over varying dates through 2034, some of which contain renewal options. 2019 (remainder) $ 55,941 2020 73,904 2021 67,541 2022 61,108 2023 58,671 Thereafter 410,147 Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Other In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016 13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which will change how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The ASU will replace the current "incurred loss" approach with an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, contract assets, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking "expected loss" model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of this ASU to determine the potential impact on its financial statements, however the Company does not currently expect the new standard will have a material impact on its financial statements. Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the SEC did not, or are not expected to, have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments To meet the reporting requirements of 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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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): March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Note receivable from Agecroft Prison Management, LTD $ 2,953 $ 4,129 $ 2,887 $ 4,037 Debt $ (1,856,060 ) $ (1,808,872 ) $ (1,814,795 ) $ (1,744,045 )

Vesting description	The RSUs awarded to officers and executive officers in 2019 consist of a combination of awards with performance-based conditions and time-based conditions.  Unless earlier vested under the terms of the RSU agreements, the RSUs with time-based vesting conditions vest evenly generally on the first, second, and third anniversary of the award. The RSUs with performance-based vesting conditions are divided into one-third increments, each of which is subject to vesting based upon satisfaction of certain annual performance criteria established at the beginning of the fiscal years ending December 31, 2019, 2020, and 2021, and which can be increased by up to 150% or decreased to 0% based on performance relative to the annual performance criteria, and further increased by up to an additional 120% or decreased by 80% based on CoreCivic's total shareholder return relative to a peer group.  Because the performance criteria for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2020 and 2021 has not yet been established, the values of the second and third RSU increments for financial reporting purposes will not be determined until such criteria are established.
