Current report

Revenues for Reentry Services decreased by $1.3 million in Third Quarter 2024 compared to Third Quarter 2023 primarily due to decreases of $3.6 million due to contract terminations. These decreases were partially offset by aggregate net increases of $2.4 million related to increased census levels at certain of our community-based and reentry centers due to increased programming needs and referrals due to new day reporting center contracts.

Current report

Operating expenses for U.S. Secure Services decreased by $1.6 million in Third Quarter 2024 compared to Third Quarter 2023 primarily due to a favorable adjustment for penalties and interest upon entering into a managed audit program with the state of New Mexico taxing authorities of approximately $6.3 million. Refer to Note 11 - Commitments, Contingencies and Other Matters of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion. We also experienced a decrease of approximately $4.7 million related to the transition of operations at the state-owned 1,536-bed Lawrenceville Correctional Center in Virginia to the Virginia Department of Corrections. Partially offsetting these decreases were aggregate net increases in connection with labor and medical costs, transportation services, increased occupancies and the variable costs associated with those services of $9.4 million. Operating expenses as a percentage of segment revenue have decreased due to favorable operating margins on our new transportation contracts.

Current report

During Third Quarter 2023, we experienced a gain on asset divestiture primarily due to the sale of our company-owned 900-bed Albert Bo Robinson Assessment and Treatment Center.

Current report

Revenues for Electronic Monitoring and Supervision Services decreased by $83.6 million in Nine Months 2024 compared to Nine Months 2023 primarily due to decreases in average participant counts under ISAP.

Previous report

On June 20, 2024 we announced that GEO had given notice to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections providing for the discontinuation of our management contract for the company-owned, 2,600-bed Lawton Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility, which was set to expire on June 30, 2024, unless new contract terms could be mutually agreed upon. Subsequently, on June 26th, we announced that GEO and the Oklahoma Department of Corrections had agreed to enter into a one-year contract under new agreed upon terms, effective through June 30, 2025, for GEO to continue operating the Lawton Facility.

Previous report

Revenues for Electronic Monitoring and Supervision Services decreased by $69.1 million in Six Months 2024 compared to Six Months 2023 primarily due to decreases in average participant counts under ISAP.

Previous report

On December 18, 2023, we received a new task order from ICE establishing February 19, 2024 as the end of the contract performance period, ten months short of the end of our 1,940-bed company owned Adelanto ICE Processing Center's base contract term. The next day, on December 19, 2023, ICE issued a public statement, saying, in part, that “While no final decision has been made regarding the disposition of the facility, ICE must consider the effect of ongoing litigation that prevents full use of the facility, likelihood of relief from that litigation, the cost associated with maintaining the facility and the operational requirements for effective national detention operations.”

Previous report

We believe the task order and public statement issued by ICE demonstrate that the government is considering whether to discontinue its use of the facility before the end of the contract’s base term due to the ongoing impact of the outdated COVID-19 related limitations imposed by the federal court over three years ago. As a result, GEO and the three unions representing the Facility’s employees have filed motions to protect GEO’s interests which include annualized revenues and the potential loss of jobs by 350-plus Facility employees. Subsequent to the filing of these motions, ICE extended the task order funding for the Adelanto contract through October 19, 2024.

Previous report

On January 26, 2021, President Biden signed an executive order directing the United States Attorney General not to renew United States Department of Justice ("DOJ") contracts with privately operated criminal detention facilities, as consistent with applicable law. Two agencies of the DOJ, the Federal Bureau of Prisons ("BOP") and the United States Marshals Service ("USMS"), utilized GEO’s support services at the time the executive order was signed. The BOP houses inmates who have been convicted of federal crimes, and the USMS is generally responsible for detainees who are awaiting trial or sentencing in U.S. federal courts. As of June 30, 2024, GEO has three company-owned/company-leased facilities under direct contracts with USMS, which have current contract option periods that expire between September 2025 and September 2028. As of June 30, 2024, we no longer have any contracts with the BOP for secure correctional facilities.

Previous report

A future administration may implement additional executive orders or directives relating to federal criminal justice policies and/or immigration policies, which may impact the federal government’s use of public-private partnerships with respect to secure correctional and detention facilities and immigration processing centers, including with respect to our contracts, and/or may impact the budget and spending priorities of federal agencies, including the BOP, USMS, and ICE, which is an agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Previous report

Prior to the executive order, we have historically had a relatively high contract renewal rate, however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to renew our expiring management contracts on favorable terms, or at all. Also, while we are pleased with our track record in re-bid situations, we cannot assure that we will prevail in any such future situations.
