Forward Guidance
CoreCivic anticipates accelerated demand from federal, state, and local government partners in 2025, driven by changes in presidential administration and immigration policies. The company expects to activate idle facilities to meet this demand, which may initially incur start-up expenses but will be favorable in 2026.
Positive Outlook
- Anticipated accelerated demand from federal, state, and local government partners.
- New administration's modification of immigration policy and enactment of new legislation expected to increase demand for services.
- Reversal of executive order restricting contracts with privately operated criminal detention facilities.
- Acquisition of all available detention beds for deportable migrants directed by the Secretary of Homeland Security.
- New management contract with the state of Montana for additional inmates, increasing geographic reach.
Challenges Ahead
- Guidance reflects a reduction in facility net operating income due to the termination of the ICE contract at South Texas Family Residential Center and lease expiration with CDCR at California City Correctional Center.
