JUNE 30, 2025

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 operators of such facilities in the United States ("U.S."). 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 network of residential reentry centers to help address America's recidivism crisis, and government real estate solutions. As of June 30, 2025, through its CoreCivic Safety segment, the Company operated 44 correctional and detention facilities,40 of which the Company owned or controlled via a long-term lease, with a total design capacity of approximately 67,000 beds. Through its CoreCivic Community segment, the Company operated 21 residential reentry centers, which it owned or controlled via a long-term lease, with a total design capacity of approximately 4,000 beds. In addition, through its CoreCivic Properties segment, the Company owned 5 properties, with a total design capacity of approximately 8,000 beds.

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.

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 ("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, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 21, 2025 (the "2024 Form 10-K") with respect to certain significant accounting and financial reporting policies as well as other pertinent information of the Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740)" ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-09 will result in the required additional disclosures being included in the Company's consolidated financial statements, once adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 and expects to adopt it for the year ending December 31, 2025, including any additional required disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses". This ASU requires an entity to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. It also requires an entity to include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure. Additionally, it requires an entity to disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and to disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the disclosure requirements prospectively for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. While this ASU will impact only the Company's disclosures and not its financial condition and results of operations, the Company is currently evaluating when it will adopt the ASU.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the SEC applicable to financial statements beginning January 1, 2025 or later did not, or are not expected to, have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 included deposit accounts that are restricted in use totaling $12.4 million and $14.6 million, respectively, and related primarily to the Lansing Correctional Facility to ensure the timely payment of certain operating expenses, capital expenditures and debt service, as further discussed in Note 4. The restricted cash accounts are required under the terms of the indebtedness securing such property. Restricted cash also includes inmate trust funds used for commissary transactions pursuant to customer contracts. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

To meet the reporting requirements of Accounting 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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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):

REAL ESTATE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

Acquisitions

On June 10, 2025, CoreCivic announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Farmville Detention Center, a 736-bed facility located in Farmville, Virginia. The transaction, amounting to a gross purchase price of $67.0 million excluding $1.5 million of transaction costs incurred through June 30, 2025, was consummated on July 1, 2025 through the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests in entities that owned and operated the facility. The acquisition was funded using cash on hand and borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility. The Farmville Detention Center provides transportation, care, and civil detention services to adult male non-citizens through an intergovernmental service agreement ("IGSA") with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE"), which expires in March 2029.

Assets Held For Sale and Dispositions

On May 14, 2025, CoreCivic entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of a residential reentry center in Denver, Colorado, which had a carrying value of $1.1 million as of June 30, 2025. The reentry center is reported in CoreCivic's Community segment and was classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2025. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025 and generate gross sales proceeds of $3.7 million.

Additionally, on May 3, 2024, CoreCivic entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of an idled non-core facility in Live Oak, California, which had a carrying value of $2.7 million as of June 30, 2025. The property is reported in CoreCivic's Safety segment and was classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2025. The sale is expected to close in the second half of 2025 and generate gross sales proceeds of $4.0 million.

During the full year 2024, CoreCivic completed the sales of two facilities reported in CoreCivic's Community segment and two vacant parcels of land. The sales of these four assets generated aggregate net sales proceeds of $13.3 million, resulting in an aggregate net gain on sale of $3.3 million after transaction costs.

Idle Facilities

As of June 30, 2025, CoreCivic hadseven idle correctional facilities that are operated with a core staffing complement to remain currently available and that are being actively marketed as solutions to meet the correctional or detention needs of potential customers. The following table summarizes each of the idled facilities, their respective design capacities, and net 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):

As of June 30, 2025, CoreCivic also hadone idled non-core facility in its Safety segment containing 240 beds with a net book value of$2.7 million, and an idled facility in its Community segment containing 60 beds with a net book value of $1.1 million, both of which are classified as held for sale, as previously described herein. CoreCivic incurred operating expenses at these nine idled facilities of approximately$3.2 million and$2.4 million during the period they were idle during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and$6.5 million and$5.4 million during the period they were idle during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Effective March 7, 2025, CoreCivic entered into a letter agreement with ICE to begin activation efforts at the Company's 1,033-bed Midwest Regional Reception Center in Leavenworth, Kansas. The letter agreement authorizes initial funding up to $5.0 million with maximum funding up to $22.6 million for a six-month period while the parties work to negotiate and execute a long-term contract. The City of Leavenworth has filed a lawsuit alleging that a Special Use Permit ("SUP") is required to activate the facility. See Note 7 for further discussion. Effective April 1, 2025, CoreCivic entered into a letter agreement with ICE to begin activation efforts at the Company's 2,560-bed California City Immigration Processing Center, formerly known as the California City Correctional Center. The letter agreement authorizes initial funding up to $10.0 million with maximum funding up to $31.2 million for a six-month period while the parties work to negotiate and execute a long-term contract. The Company can provide no assurance that it will ultimately enter into a long-term contract with ICE for the utilization of either the Midwest Regional Reception Center or the California City Immigration Processing Center.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not identify any impairment indicators. As of December 31, 2024, the Company estimated undiscounted cash flows for each facility with an impairment indicator and concluded no impairments had occurred. The Company's estimated undiscounted cash flows reflected the Company’s most recent expectations around potential utilization and/or sale of the facilities and projected cash flows based on historical cash flows, cash flows of comparable facilities, and recent contract negotiations for utilization, as applicable.

CoreCivic evaluates, on a quarterly basis, market developments for the potential utilization of each of its idle facilities in order to identify events that may cause CoreCivic to reconsider its assumptions with respect to the recoverability of book values as compared to undiscounted cash flows. CoreCivic considers the cancellation of a contract in its Safety or Community segment or an expiration and non-renewal of a lease agreement in its CoreCivic Properties segment as indicators of impairment and tests each of the idled facilities for impairment when it is notified by the respective customers or tenants that they would no longer be utilizing such facility.

Resumption of Operations at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center

On June 10, 2024, the Company received notification from ICE of its intent to terminate funding of an IGSA for services at the 2,400-bed Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Dilley, Texas ("the Dilley Facility"), effective August 9, 2024, after nearly ten years of operation. CoreCivic leased the Dilley Facility and the site upon which it was constructed from a third-party lessor. CoreCivic's lease agreement with the third-party lessor was over a base period concurrent with the IGSA with ICE and provided CoreCivic with the ability to terminate the lease with a notification period of at least 60 days if ICE terminated the IGSA. Upon being notified by ICE of its intent to terminate funding of the IGSA at the Dilley Facility, CoreCivic provided notice to the third-party lessor of its intent to terminate the lease agreement effective August 9, 2024. In accordance with ASC 842, "Leases" ("ASC 842"), in the second quarter of 2024, CoreCivic remeasured the lease liability and recorded a corresponding adjustment of $57.0 million to the associated right of use asset to reflect the reduction to the lease term. In addition, CoreCivic incurred an asset impairment charge of $3.1 million, which was based on a cash flow method for determining fair value, in the third quarter of 2024 associated with property and equipment at the Dilley Facility.

On March 5, 2025, CoreCivic announced that it had agreed under an amendment to the IGSA discussed above to resume operations and care for up to 2,400 individuals at the Dilley Facility. The amended IGSA expires in March 2030 and may be further extended through bilateral modification. The agreement provides for a fixed monthly payment in accordance with a graduated schedule during the first six months, subject to acceleration, to correlate with the activation of the five neighborhoods within the facility, each designed to accommodate up to 480 individuals. ICE's termination rights permit ICE to terminate the amended IGSA for convenience or non-appropriation of funds without penalty by providing CoreCivic with at least a 60-day prior notice. Simultaneously, the Company entered into a new operating lease agreement with the same third-party lessor over a period co-terminus with the term of the IGSA. The new lease also contains a graduated lease rate over the first six months consistent with the IGSA to correlate with the activation of the five neighborhoods within the facility. As a result, in the first quarter of 2025, CoreCivic recorded the establishment of a right of use liability and asset in accordance with ASC 842 amounting to $116.9 million to reflect the new lease associated with the Dilley Facility. The new lease agreement provides CoreCivic with the ability to terminate the lease if ICE terminates the amended IGSA associated with the Dilley Facility upon at least a 60-day prior notice.

DEBT

Debt outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of the following (in thousands):

Bank Credit Facility. On October 11, 2023, CoreCivic entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (referred to herein as the "Bank Credit Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million, consisting of a $125.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan") and a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $275.0 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Bank Credit Facility has a maturity of October 2028. The Bank Credit Facility includes an option to increase the availability under the Revolving Credit Facility and to request additional term loans from the lenders in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of (a) $200.0 million and (b)50% of consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended four-quarter period, subject to, among other things, the receipt of commitments for the increased amount. At CoreCivic's option, interest on outstanding borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility is based on either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 3.5% based upon the Company’s then-current total leverage ratio, or at Term SOFR (as defined in the Bank Credit Facility), which is a forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin ranging from 2.75% to 4.5% based on the Company’s then-current total leverage ratio. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $25.0 million sublimit for swing line loans that enables CoreCivic to borrow at the base rate plus the applicable margin from the Administrative Agent (as defined in the Bank Credit Facility) on same-day notice.

Based on the Company's total leverage ratio, as of June 30, 2025, interest on loans under the Bank Credit Facility, was at a base rate plus a margin of 1.75% or at the Term SOFR plus a margin of 2.75%, and a commitment fee equal to 0.35% of the unfunded balance of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility also has a $100.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. As of June 30, 2025, CoreCivic had $40.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2025, CoreCivic had$18.6 million in letters of credit outstanding resulting in$216.4 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan, which had an outstanding principal balance of$115.6 million as of June 30, 2025, requires scheduled quarterly principal payments through October 2028, and is pre-payable without penalty.

The Bank Credit Facility requires CoreCivic to meet certain financial covenants, including, without limitation, a total leverage ratio of not more than 4.50 to 1.00, a secured leverage ratio of not more than 2.50 to 1.00, and a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.75 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2025, CoreCivic was in compliance with all such covenants. The Bank Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of all of the capital stock (or other ownership interests) of CoreCivic's domestic restricted subsidiaries,65% of the capital stock (or other ownership interests) of CoreCivic's "first-tier" foreign subsidiaries, all of the accounts receivable of the Company and its domestic restricted subsidiaries, and substantially all of the deposit accounts of the Company and its domestic restricted subsidiaries. In the event that (a) the consolidated total leverage equals or exceeds 4.25 to 1.00 or (b) the Company incurs certain debt above a specified threshold, each known as a "springing lien" event, certain intangible assets and unencumbered real estate assets that meet a 50% loan-to-value requirement are required to be added as collateral. In addition, the Bank 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, and in each case subject to customary carveouts. The Bank Credit Facility is subject to cross-default provisions with respect to the terms of certain of CoreCivic's other material indebtedness and is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of a change of control.

Senior Notes. Interest on the $238.5 million remaining aggregate principal amount of CoreCivic's 4.75% senior unsecured notes issued in October 2017 with an original principal amount of $250.0 million (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. During 2024 and 2023, the Company purchased $11.5 million principal amount of the 4.75% Senior Notes through open market purchases, reducing the outstanding balance of the 4.75% Senior Notes to $238.5 million as of December 31, 2024. Interest on the aggregate principal amount of CoreCivic's 8.25% senior unsecured notes issued in March 2024 with a principal amount of $500.0 million (the "8.25% Senior Notes") accrues at the stated rate and is payable in April and October of each year. The 8.25% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on April 15, 2029. During 2024, CoreCivic recorded charges totaling $31.3 million associated with the cash tender offer and redemption of senior notes with an outstanding balance of $593.1 million, including the non-cash write-off of unamortized loan issuance costs and original issue premium, that were originally scheduled to mature in April 2026.

The 4.75% Senior Notes and the 8.25% Senior Notes (collectively, the "Senior Notes") are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by all of the Company's existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee the Bank Credit Facility. CoreCivic may redeem all or part of the 4.75% Senior Notes at any time prior to three months before their maturity date at a "make-whole" redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. Thereafter, the 4.75% 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. The Company may redeem all or part of the 8.25% Senior Notes at any time prior to April 15, 2026, in whole or in part, at a "make-whole" redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. Thereafter, the 8.25% Senior Notes are redeemable at CoreCivic's option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof, which percentage is 104.125% beginning on April 15, 2026,102.063% beginning on April 15, 2027, and 100% beginning on April 15, 2028, plus, in each such case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

The indentures governing the Senior Notes contain certain customary covenants that, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, restrict CoreCivic's ability to, among other things, create or permit to exist certain liens and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of CoreCivic's assets. In addition, if CoreCivic experiences specific kinds of changes in control, CoreCivic must offer to repurchase all or any portion of the Senior Notes. The offer price for the Senior Notes in connection with a change in control would be 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes repurchased to the date of purchase. The indenture related to the 8.25% Senior Notes additionally limits CoreCivic's ability to incur indebtedness, make restricted payments and investments and prepay certain indebtedness. The Senior Notes are also subject to cross-default provisions with certain of CoreCivic's other indebtedness, which includes the Bank Credit Facility.

Lansing Correctional Facility Non-Recourse Mortgage Note. 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 Kansas Notes have a yield to maturity of 4.43% and are scheduled to mature in January 2040,20 years following completion of the project, which occurred in January 2020. Principal and interest on the Kansas Notes are payable in quarterly payments, which began in July 2020 and continue 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. Because the Issuer has been designated as an unrestricted subsidiary of the Company under terms of the Bank Credit Facility, the issuance and service of the Kansas Notes, and the revenues and expenses associated with the facility lease, do not impact the financial covenants associated with the Bank Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding balance of the Kansas Notes was$137.3 million.

Debt Maturities. Scheduled principal payments as of June 30, 2025 for the remainder of 2025, the next five years, and thereafter were as follows (in thousands):

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Share Repurchase Program

On May 12, 2022, the Board of Directors ("BOD") approved a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $150.0 million of the Company's 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 the Company's common stock, or a total aggregate authorized amount to repurchase up to $225.0 million of the Company's common stock. On May 16, 2024, the BOD authorized an additional increase to the share repurchase program by which the Company may purchase up to an additional $125.0 million in shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, which increased the total aggregate authorization to up to $350.0 million. On May 15, 2025, the BOD authorized an additional increase to the share repurchase program by which the Company may purchase up to an additional $150.0 million in shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, increasing the total aggregate authorization to up to $500.0 million. Repurchases of the Company's outstanding common stock will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made at the Company's discretion based on parameters set by the BOD from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The share repurchase program has no time limit and does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular amount of its 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 3.9 million shares of its common stock at a total cost of $81.0 million, or $20.52 per share, excluding costs associated with the share repurchase program, including 2.0 million shares at an aggregate cost of $43.2 million during the second quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had repurchased a total of 18.5 million common shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $262.1 million, or $14.19 per share, and had approximately $237.9 million of repurchase authorization available under the share repurchase program.

Restricted Stock Units

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, CoreCivic issued approximately 1.2 million restricted common stock units ("RSUs") to certain of its employees and non-employee directors, with an aggregate value of $23.9 million, including 1.1 million RSUs to employees and non-employee directors whose compensation is charged to general and administrative expense and 0.1 million RSUs to employees whose compensation is charged to operating expense. During the full year 2024, CoreCivic issued approximately 1.6 million RSUs to certain of its employees and non-employee directors, with an aggregate value of $23.5 million, including 1.5 million RSUs to employees and non-employee directors whose compensation is charged to general and administrative expense and 0.1 million RSUs to employees whose compensation is charged to operating expense.

CoreCivic has established performance-based vesting conditions on a portion of the RSUs awarded to its officers and executive officers that, unless earlier vested under the terms of the agreements, are subject to vesting over athree-year period based upon the satisfaction of certain annual performance criteria. The RSUs awarded to officers and executive officers in 2023, 2024 and 2025 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 in equal amounts over three years on the later of (i) the anniversary date of the grant or (ii) the delivery of the audited financial statements by the Company's independent registered public accountant for the applicable fiscal year. 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, 2023, 2024, and 2025 for the 2023 awards, December 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026 for the 2024 awards, and December 31, 2025, 2026, and 2027 for the 2025 awards, and which can be increased up to 150% or decreased to 0% based on performance relative to the annual performance criteria, and further increased or decreased using a modifier of 80% to 120% based on CoreCivic's total shareholder return relative to a peer group. Because the performance criteria for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2026 and 2027 have not yet been established, the values of the third RSU increment of the 2024 awards and of the second and third increments of the 2025 awards for financial reporting purposes will not be determined until such criteria are established. A portion of the RSU award granted to CoreCivic's Chief Executive Officer in 2024 contains a single performance-based vesting condition that results in full vesting on the later of (i) the second anniversary of the award or (ii) the delivery of the audited financial statements by the Company's independent registered public accountant for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, if the performance criteria is met for the year ending December 31, 2025, or no vesting if the performance criteria is not met for such year. Time-based RSUs issued to other employees, unless earlier vested under the terms of the agreements, generally vest in equal amounts over three years on the later of (i) the anniversary date of the grant or (ii) the delivery of the audited financial statements by the Company's independent registered public accountant for the applicable fiscal year. RSUs issued to non-employee directors generally vestone year from the date of award. As of June 30, 2025, approximately 2.6 million RSUs remained outstanding and subject to vesting.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, CoreCivic expensed $7.4 million, net of forfeitures, relating to RSUs ($0.2 million of which was recorded in operating expenses and $7.2 million of which was recorded in general and administrative expenses). During the three months ended June 30, 2024, CoreCivic expensed $5.0 million, net of forfeitures, relating to RSUs ($0.3 million of which was recorded in operating expenses and $4.7 million of which was recorded in general and administrative expenses).

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, CoreCivic expensed $14.0 million, net of forfeitures, relating to RSUs ($0.6 million of which was recorded in operating expenses and $13.4 million of which was recorded in general and administrative expenses). During the six months ended June 30, 2024, CoreCivic expensed $11.1 million, net of forfeitures, relating to RSUs ($0.9 million of which was recorded in operating expenses and $10.2 million of which was recorded in general and administrative expenses).

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. 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 stock-based awards.

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 self-insurance risk.

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 consolidated financial statements. 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 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.

CoreCivic records a liability in 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 in the 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 laws. ICE requires that CoreCivic offer and operate the VWP in conformance with ICE standards and ICE prescribes the minimum rate of pay for VWP 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, 2020, the district court certified a nationwide anti-trafficking claims class of former and current detainees who participated in an ICE VWP at a CoreCivic facility. It also certified a state law class of former and current detainees who participated in a VWP wherever the Company held ICE detainees in California. The Company has exhausted appeals of the class certification order. On May 6, 2024, the district court stayed the filing of dispositive motions on state law claims under California law pending the outcome of a related case being prosecuted by another private prison company. That case is currently on appeal in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The claims resulting in certified classes are proceeding in all other respects in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, where the discovery process has commenced. A second California lawsuit concerning the VWP at OMDC has been stayed pending the outcome of class proceedings in the first California case described above.

Due to the stage of the ongoing proceedings, the Company cannot reasonably predict the outcomes, nor can it estimate the amount of loss or range of loss, if any, that may result. As a result, the Company has not recorded an accrual relating to these matters at this time, as losses are not considered probable or reasonably estimable at this stage of these lawsuits.

Cityof Leavenworth. Effective March 7, 2025, CoreCivic entered into a letter agreement with ICE to begin activation efforts at the Company's 1,033-bed Midwest Regional Reception Center in Leavenworth, Kansas. On March 31, 2025, the City of Leavenworth filed a lawsuit alleging that an SUP must be obtained to operate the facility. The City's initial lawsuit was dismissed in federal court. The City subsequently re-filed its lawsuit in state court, where the Court granted a temporary restraining order barring CoreCivic from housing detainees at the Midwest Regional Reception Center without first obtaining an SUP. CoreCivic plans to continue vigorously defending this matter on the basis that an SUP is not applicable under existing statute, and has filed an appeal in the state court of appeals. The Company can provide no assurance that it will obtain a favorable ruling in this matter or that ICE and the Company will ultimately enter into a long-term contract for the utilization of the Company’s Midwest Regional Reception Center.

Inmate Litigation Matter. On April 24, 2025, a jury returned a verdict in favor of a plaintiff against CoreCivic in the amount of $27.8 million. The plaintiff was an inmate at the Crossroads Correctional Center in Shelby, Montana, in 2018 when he was assaulted by another inmate. The jury determined that the plaintiff proved that the Company violated his civil rights by not adequately protecting him from the inmate-on-inmate assault. The parties are currently litigating post-trial motions. Once those motions are resolved, the Company intends to appeal this decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Company cannot reasonably predict the final outcome, nor can it estimate the amount of loss or range of loss that may result from the appeal. Regardless of the appeal process, this matter is substantially covered by insurance. As a result of existing insurance coverage and previous accruals, the matter is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

U.S. Department of Justice Investigation

In August 2024, the state of Tennessee was notified by letter that the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") was commencing an investigation under the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act of conditions in the Company-owned and operated Trousdale Turner Correctional Center, which the Company manages on behalf of the Tennessee Department of Corrections. The Company is cooperating with the investigation.

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 consolidated statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was passed by the U.S. Congress in 2025 and signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025. The OBBBA includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of these legislative changes.

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$13.7 million and$8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. CoreCivic recorded an income tax expense of$20.7 million and$8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s net income tax rate in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 varied from its statutory tax rate primarily due to a $2.5 million and $2.6 million tax benefit for stock-based compensation vesting recognized in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

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 hadno liabilities recorded for uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. 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

The President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company is identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") as defined by ASU 2023-07, "Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280)". The CODM routinely reviews segment net operating income compared to budget and prior periods to assess performance and allocate resources within reportable segments. As of June 30, 2025, CoreCivic operated 44 correctional and detention facilities,40 of which the Company owned or controlled via a long-term lease. In addition, CoreCivic operated 21 residential reentry centers, which it owned or controlled via a long-term lease, and owned 5 properties held for lease to government agencies. Management views CoreCivic's operating results inthree operating segments, CoreCivic Safety, CoreCivic Community, and CoreCivic Properties, each of which is a reportable segment. 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 the Company's electronic monitoring and case management services. CoreCivic Properties includes the operating results of those properties held for lease to government agencies. 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 facility net operating income for each of the three segments and a reconciliation to CoreCivic's income before income taxes is as follows for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

(1) Salaries and benefits expense is the only significant reportable segment expense regularly reviewed by the CODM for both the Safety and Community segments and represents the majority of segment-level operating expenses given that substantial staff are required to operate the facilities and is the primary factor that drives operating expenses and profitability. Conversely, the Properties segment does not have a significant segment expense given the fact that those properties are operated by government agencies. The following table summarizes the significant segment expense, along with other segment operating expenses to reconcile to total segment operating expenses for both the Safety and Community segments, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

(1)Other segment operating expenses for each reportable segment include, but are not limited to, utilities, property taxes, repairs and maintenance, food, medical, vocational and educational programming, personal care and other resident supplies.
