Damon T. Hininger, CoreCivic's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our fourth quarter financial performance capped off another year of resilient cash flow generation amid the ongoing global pandemic. During 2021, we made great strides in enhancing our capital structure by revoking our REIT election, selling non-core assets which enabled us to accelerate our debt reduction strategy, accessed the debt capital markets, extended our debt maturities, and positioned our balance sheet to allow us to pursue attractive growth opportunities and return capital to shareholders. With the financial guidance we are providing today for the full year 2022, our capital allocation strategy remains on track.

Hininger continued, "We began 2022 on a positive note with the recent announcement of our new contract with the state of Arizona to care for up to 2,706 inmates at our La Palma Correctional Center, which is the largest contract awarded to the private sector by any state in over a decade. We look to continue this positive momentum as we pursue other market opportunities that may present themselves throughout the year."

Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results Compared With Fourth Quarter 2020

Net income attributable to common stockholders in the fourth quarter of 2021 totaled $28.0 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared with net loss attributable to common stockholders in the fourth quarter of 2020 of $26.8 million, or a net loss of $0.22 per diluted share. Adjusted for special items, net income in the fourth quarter of 2021 was $32.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share (Adjusted Diluted EPS), compared with adjusted net income in the fourth quarter of 2020 of $48.8 million, or $0.40 per diluted share. Special items for each period are presented in detail in the calculation of Adjusted Diluted EPS in the Supplemental Financial Information following the financial statements presented herein. Financial results in 2021 reflect higher income tax expense following the revocation of our election to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) effective January 1, 2021. As a REIT, we were entitled to a deduction for dividends paid, which resulted in a significantly lower income tax expense in the prior year. The decline in per share amounts was also the result of property sales and refinancing transactions, both of which strengthened our balance sheet, as well as an increase in general and administrative (G&A) expenses.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $97.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared with $33.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes special items, was $103.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared with $108.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA decreased from the prior year quarter due to the sale of 47 non-core real estate assets since the end of the third quarter of 2021, which generated $7.4 million in Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2020, and an increase in G&A expenses primarily resulting from lower incentive compensation in the prior year due to the onset of COVID-19.

Funds From Operations (FFO) was $54.7 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $22.8 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2020. Normalized FFO, which excludes special items, was $57.8 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared with $76.3 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2020. FFO and Normalized FFO were also impacted by our new corporate tax structure.

Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO, and, where appropriate, their corresponding per share amounts, are measures calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Please refer to the Supplemental Financial Information and related note following the financial statements herein for further discussion and reconciliations of these measures to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Business Updates

New Contract with the State of Arizona at the La Palma Correctional Center. On January 10, 2022, we announced that we were awarded a new contract with the state of Arizona to care for up to 2,706 adult male inmates on behalf of the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation & Reentry (ADCRR) at the Company's 3,060-bed La Palma Correctional Center in Eloy, Arizona. The new management contract has an initial term of five years, with one extension option for up to five years thereafter upon mutual agreement. We are currently working with ADCRR on a ramp plan that is expected to begin late in the first quarter or early in the second quarter of 2022. The La Palma facility currently supports the mission of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by caring for approximately 1,800 detainees. We are simultaneously working with ICE to coordinate the transition of their populations to other facilities, including at facilities where we have available capacity within the region. We expect the transition of populations from ICE detainees to inmates from the state of Arizona to result in the disruption of earnings and cash flows until the occupancy of inmates from the state of Arizona reaches stabilization. Upon full utilization of the new contract with the state of Arizona we expect to generate approximately $75 million to $85 million in annualized revenue at the La Palma facility.

2022 Financial Guidance

Based on current business conditions, the Company is providing the following financial guidance for the full year 2022:

		Full Year 2022
➣ Diluted EPS		$0.72 to $0.86
➣ FFO per diluted share		$1.55 to $1.70
➣ EBITDA		$354.8 million to $370.0 million

Our 2022 guidance reflects a continuation of occupancy restrictions placed on our bed capacity by many of our government partners as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which could result in enhanced earnings when relieved. Our 2022 guidance also reflects the aforementioned transition of resident populations at our La Palma Correctional Center, and higher operating expenses due to above average wage inflation we expect to experience in 2022 as a result of the challenging labor market.

During 2022, we expect to invest approximately $75.8 million to $79.3 million in capital expenditures, consisting of approximately $33.8 million to $34.3 million in maintenance capital expenditures on real estate assets; $30.0 million to $32.0 million for capital expenditures on other assets and information technology and $12.0 million to $13.0 million for facility renovations.

Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO, and, where appropriate, their corresponding per share metrics are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that these measures are important operating measures that supplement discussion and analysis of the Company's results of operations and are used to review and assess operating performance of the Company and its properties and their management teams. The Company believes that it is useful to provide investors, lenders and security analysts disclosures of its results of operations on the same basis that is used by management. FFO, in particular, is a widely accepted non-GAAP supplemental measure of performance of real estate companies, grounded in the standards for FFO established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT).

NAREIT defines FFO as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate and impairment of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Normalized FFO are useful as supplemental measures of performance of the Company's properties because such measures do not take into account depreciation and amortization, or with respect to EBITDA, the impact of the Company's tax provisions and financing strategies. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), this accounting presentation assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes at a level rate over time. Because of the unique structure, design and use of the Company's properties, management believes that assessing performance of the Company's properties without the impact of depreciation or amortization is useful. The Company may make adjustments to FFO from time to time for certain other income and expenses that it considers non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, even though such items may require cash settlement, because such items do not reflect a necessary or ordinary component of the ongoing operations of the Company. Normalized FFO excludes the effects of such items. The Company calculates Adjusted Net Income by adding to GAAP Net Income expenses associated with the Company's debt repayments and refinancing transactions, and certain impairments and other charges that the Company believes are unusual or non-recurring to provide an alternative measure of comparing operating performance for the periods presented.

Other companies may calculate Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO differently than the Company does, or adjust for other items, and therefore comparability may be limited. Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO and, where appropriate, their corresponding per share measures are not measures of performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of the Company's operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. This data should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
