1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The GEO Group, Inc., a Florida corporation, and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “GEO”) is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in the ownership, leasing and management of correctional, detention and reentry facilities and the provision of community-based services and youth services in the United States, Australia, South Africa and the United Kingdom. The Company owns, leases and operates a broad range of correctional and detention facilities including maximum, medium and minimum security prisons, immigration detention centers, minimum security detention centers, as well as community based reentry facilities and offers an expanded delivery of offender rehabilitation services under its ‘GEO Continuum of Care’ platform. The Company develops new facilities based on contract awards, using its project development expertise and experience to design, construct and finance what it believes are state-of-the-art facilities that maximize security and efficiency. The Company provides innovative compliance technologies, industry-leading monitoring services, and evidence-based supervision and treatment programs for community-based parolees, probationers and pretrial defendants. The Company also provides secure transportation services for offender and detainee populations as contracted domestically and in the United Kingdom through its joint venture GEO Amey PECS Ltd. (“GEOAmey”). The Company’s worldwide operations include the management and/or ownership of approximately 87,000 beds at 104 correctional and detention facilities, including idle facilities, projects under development and recently awarded contracts, and also include the provision of community supervision services for more than 127,000 offenders and pre-trial defendants, including approximately 83,000 individuals through an array of technology products including radio frequency, GPS, and alcohol monitoring devices.

The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the instructions to Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all disclosures required by Form 10-K.

Amortization expense was $5.1 million and $10.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Amortization expense was $4.8 million and $9.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Amortization expense was primarily related to the U.S. Corrections & Detention and GEO Care segments’ amortization of acquired facility management contracts. As of June 30, 2016, the weighted average period before the next contract renewal or extension for the acquired facility management contracts was approximately 1.6 years. Although the facility management contracts acquired have renewal and extension terms in the near term, the Company has historically maintained these relationships beyond the current contractual periods.

Estimated amortization expense related to the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets for the remainder of 2016 through 2020 and thereafter is as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s Level 2 financial instruments included in the tables above as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consist of interest rate swap derivative liabilities and interest rate cap derivative assets held by the Company’s Australian subsidiary, the Company’s rabbi trust established for GEO employee and employer contributions to The GEO Group, Inc. Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan and an investment in Canadian dollar denominated fixed income securities.

The Australian subsidiary’s interest rate swap derivative liabilities and interest rate cap derivative assets are valued using a discounted cash flow model based on projected Australian borrowing rates. The Company’s restricted investment in the rabbi trust is invested in Company owned life insurance policies which are recorded at their cash surrender values. These investments are valued based on the underlying investments held in the policies’ separate account. The underlying assets are equity and fixed income pooled funds that are comprised of Level 1 and Level 2 securities. The Canadian dollar denominated securities, not actively traded, are valued using quoted rates for these and similar securities.

REIT Distributions

As a REIT, GEO is required to distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gain) and began paying regular quarterly REIT dividends in 2013. The amount, timing and frequency of future dividends, however, will be at the sole discretion of GEO’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and will be declared based upon various factors, many of which are beyond GEO’s control, including, GEO’s financial condition and operating cash flows, the amount required to maintain REIT status, limitations on distributions in GEO’s existing and future debt instruments, limitations on GEO’s ability to fund distributions using cash generated through GEO’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) and other factors that GEO’s Board may deem relevant.

Prospectus Supplement

On May 8, 2013, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a prospectus supplement related to the offer and sale from time to time of the Company’s common stock at an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million through sales agents. Sales of shares of the Company’s common stock under the prospectus supplement and equity distribution agreements entered into with the sales agents, if any, were to be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that were deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933. On July 18, 2014, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a post-effective amendment to its shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (pursuant to which the prospectus supplement had been filed) as a result of the merger of the Company into GEO REIT effective June 27, 2014. There were no shares of the Company’s common stock sold under the prospectus supplement during the year ended December 31, 2015 nor the six months ended June 30, 2016.

In September 2014, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a new automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3. On November 10, 2014, in connection with the new shelf registration, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a new prospectus supplement related to the offer and sale from time to time of the Company’s common stock at an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million through sales agents. Sales of shares of the Company’s common stock under the prospectus supplement and the equity distribution agreements entered into with the sales agents, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933. There were no shares of the Company’s stock issued under this prospectus supplement during the year ended December 31, 2015 nor the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) represents the change in shareholders’ equity from transactions and other events and circumstances arising from non-shareholder sources. The Company’s total comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income attributable to GEO, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, foreign currency translation adjustments that arise from consolidating foreign operations that do not impact cash flows, net unrealized gains and/or losses on derivative instruments, and pension liability adjustments within shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss).

The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to GEO within shareholders’ equity are as follows:

6. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

The Board has adopted The GEO Group, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s shareholders on May 2, 2014. The 2014 Plan replaced the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). As of the date the 2014 Plan was adopted, it provided for a reserve of 3,083,353 shares, which consisted of 2,000,000 new shares of common stock available for issuance and 1,083,353 shares of common stock that were available for issuance under the 2006 Plan prior to the 2014 Plan replacing it. The Company filed a Form S-8 registration statement related to the 2014 Plan on June 4, 2014, which was amended on July 18, 2014.

Stock Options

The Company uses a Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of each option awarded. For options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016, the fair value was estimated using the following assumptions: (i) volatility of 25%; (ii) expected term of 5.00 years; (iii) risk free interest rate of 1.45%; and (iv) expected dividend yield of 8.85%. A summary of the activity of stock option awards issued and outstanding under Company plans is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2016:

Restricted Stock

Compensation expense for nonvested stock awards is recorded over the vesting period based on the fair value at the date of grant. Generally, the restricted stock awards vest in equal increments over either a three or four-year period. The fair value of restricted stock awards, which do not contain a market-based vesting condition, is determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company has issued share-based awards with service-based, performance-based and market-based vesting criteria.

A summary of the activity of restricted stock outstanding is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2016:

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company granted approximately 349,000 shares of restricted stock to certain employees and executive officers. Of these awards, 115,000 are market and performance-based awards which will be forfeited if the Company does not achieve certain annual metrics during 2016, 2017 and 2018.

The vesting of these performance-based restricted stock grants are subject to the achievement by GEO of two annual performance metrics as follows: (i) up to 50% of the shares of restricted stock (“TSR Target Award”) can vest at the end of a three year performance period if GEO meets certain total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance targets, as compared to the total shareholder return of a peer group of companies, over a three year period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018 and (ii) up to 50% of the shares of restricted stock (“ROCE Target Award”) can vest at the end of a three year period if GEO meets certain return on capital employed (“ROCE”) performance targets over a three year period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018. These market and performance awards can vest at between 0% and 200% of the target awards for both metrics. The number of shares shown for the performance-based awards is based on the target awards for both metrics.

The metric related to ROCE is considered to be a performance condition. For share-based awards that contain a performance condition, the achievement of the targets must be probable before any share-based compensation expense is recorded. The Company reviews the likelihood of which the target in the range will be achieved and if deemed probable, compensation expense is recorded at that time. If subsequent to initial measurement there is a change in the estimate of the probability of meeting the performance condition, the effect of the change in the estimated quantity of awards expected to vest is recognized by cumulatively adjusting compensation expense. If ultimately the performance targets are not met, for any awards where vesting was previously deemed probable, previously recognized compensation expense will be reversed in the period in which vesting is no longer deemed probable. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The metric related to TSR is considered to be a market condition. For share-based awards that contain a market condition, the probability of satisfying the market condition must be considered in the estimate of grant-date fair value and previously recorded compensation expense is not reversed if the market condition is never met. The fair value of these awards was determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation, which calculates a range of possible outcomes and the probabilities that they will occur, using the following key assumptions: (i) volatility of 23.5%; (ii) beta of 1.04; and (iii) risk free rates of 1.08%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, the Company recognized $6.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to its restricted stock awards. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had $26.0 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested restricted stock awards, including non-vested restricted stock awards with performance-based and market-based vesting, that are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company previously adopted The GEO Group Inc. 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) which was approved by the Company’s shareholders. The purpose of the Plan, which is qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Service Code of 1986, as amended, is to encourage stock ownership through payroll deductions by the employees of GEO and designated subsidiaries of GEO in order to increase their identification with the Company’s goals and secure a proprietary interest in the Company’s success. These deductions are used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a 5% discount from the then current market price. The Company has made available up to 500,000 shares of its common stock, which were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2012, as amended on July 18, 2014, for sale to eligible employees under the Plan.

The Plan is considered to be non-compensatory. As such, there is no compensation expense required to be recognized. Share purchases under the Plan are made on the last day of each month. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, 7,362 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in connection with the Plan.

7. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income from continuing operations attributable to The GEO Group, Inc. by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to that of basic earnings per share except that the denominator includes dilutive common stock equivalents such as stock options and shares of restricted stock. Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Three Months

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, 255,463 weighted average shares of common stock underlying options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) because the effect would be anti-dilutive. There were 178,574 common stock equivalents from restricted shares that were anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, 249,506 weighted average shares of common stock underlying options were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would be anti-dilutive. There were 264,500 common stock equivalents from restricted shares that were anti-dilutive.

Six Months

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, 543,098 weighted average shares of common stock underlying options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. There were 265,089 common stock equivalents from restricted shares that were anti-dilutive.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, 166,860 weighted average shares of common stock underlying options were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would be anti-dilutive. There were 176,319 common stock equivalents from restricted shares that were anti-dilutive.

8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in interest rates. The Company measures its derivative financial instruments at fair value.

Australia - Fulham

The Company’s Australian subsidiary is a party to an interest rate swap agreement to fix the interest rate on its variable rate non-recourse debt (related to its Fulham facility) to 9.7%. The Company has determined the swap, which has a notional amount of AUD 50.9 million, or $37.9 million, based on exchange rates in effect as of June 30, 2016, payment and expiration dates, and call provisions that coincide with the terms of the non-recourse debt, to be an effective cash flow hedge. Accordingly, the Company records the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. Total unrealized gains recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax, related to this cash flow hedge were not significant for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The total fair value of the swap liability was not significant as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and is recorded as a component of other non-current liabilities within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. There was no material ineffectiveness of this interest rate swap for the periods presented. The Company does not expect to enter into any transactions during the next twelve months which would result in the reclassification into earnings or losses associated with this swap currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Australia - Ravenhall

The Company’s Australian subsidiary has entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate on its variable rate non-recourse debt related to a prison project in Ravenhall, a locality near Melbourne, Australia to 3.3% during the design and construction phase and 4.2% during the project’s operating phase. The swaps’ notional amounts coincide with construction draw fixed commitments throughout the project. At June 30, 2016, the swaps had a notional amount of approximately AUD 483 million, or $359 million, based on exchange rates at June 30, 2016, related to the outstanding draws for the design and construction phase and approximately AUD 466 million, or $347 million, based on exchange rates at June 30, 2016 related to future construction draws. The Company has determined that the swaps have payment, expiration dates, and provisions that coincide with the terms of the non-recourse debt and are therefore considered to be effective cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the Company records the change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. Total unrealized loss recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax, related to this cash flow hedge was approximately $4.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The total fair value of the swap liability as of June 30, 2016 was $26.2 million and is recorded as a component of Other Non-Current liabilities within the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. There was no material ineffectiveness for the periods presented. The Company does not expect to enter into any transactions during the next twelve months which would result in the reclassification into earnings or losses associated with these swaps currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Additionally, upon completion and commercial acceptance of the prison project, the Department of Justice in the State of Victoria (the “State”) in accordance with the prison contract, will make a lump sum payment of AUD 310 million, or approximately $231 million, based on exchange rates at June 30, 2016, towards a portion of the outstanding principal of the non-recourse debt. The Company’s Australian subsidiary also entered into interest rate cap agreements in September 2014 giving the Company the option to cap the interest rate on its variable non-recourse debt related to the project in the event that the completion of the prison project is delayed which could delay the State’s payment. The Company paid $1.7 million for the interest rate cap agreements. These instruments do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting, and therefore, changes in fair value of the interest rate caps are recorded in earnings. Total losses related to a decrease in the fair value of the interest rate cap assets were not significant during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The total fair value of the interest rate cap assets was not significant as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively and is recorded as a component of other non-current assets within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest-Imputation of Interest,” which is intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. In accordance with ASU No. 2015-03, the Company adopted the new standard during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and has applied the new guidance on a retrospective basis. Refer to Note 13 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

Amended Credit Agreement

On May 19, 2016 (the “Amendment Effective Date”), GEO executed Amendment No. 1, among GEO and GEO Corrections Holdings, Inc. (together with GEO, the “Borrowers”), GEO Australasia Holdings Pty Ltd (“GEO Australasia Holdings”), GEO Australasia Finance Holdings Pty Ltd as trustee for the GEO Australasia Finance Holding Trust (the “Australian Trust”) (the “Australian Trustee”, and together with GEO Australasia Holdings, collectively, the “Australian Borrowers”), the guarantors party thereto, the issuing lenders party thereto, the lenders party thereto and BNP Paribas, as administrative agent (the “Amendment”), to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 27, 2014, by and among the Borrowers, BNP Paribas, as administrative agent, and the lenders who are, or may from time to time become, a party thereto (the “Existing Credit Agreement”).

The Amendment amends certain terms of the Existing Credit Agreement to effect a revolving credit increase in the amount of $200.0 million, increases to the total leverage thresholds used in the determination of the applicable interest rates, and certain other modifications (the Existing Credit Agreement as so modified, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

The Amendment provides that each lender (including each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) that executed a lender addendum as a revolving credit lender agrees to provide a revolving credit commitment, inclusive of letters of credit issued thereunder, to the Borrowers at the Amendment Effective Time in an aggregate principal amount equal to $900.0 million (the“Revolving Credit Commitment”) on the terms set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, the Amendment increases the principal amount of letters of credit that may be issued under the Revolving Credit Commitment from $175.0 million to $300.0 million.

The Amendment further provides that each Revolving Credit Lender (including each applicable Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender) that executed a lender addendum as a multicurrency subfacility lender agrees to provide a multicurrency subfacility commitment to the Borrowers and the Australian Borrowers at the Amendment Effective Time in an aggregate principal amount equal to $100.0 million (the “Multicurrency Subfacility Commitment”) on the terms set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. The aggregate amount of loans and letters of credit that may be issued under the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Multicurrency Subfacility Commitment may not exceed $900.0 million.

Giving effect to the Amendment, the Amended Credit Agreement currently evidences a Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) consisting of a $291.0 million Term Loan (the “Term Loan”) bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.50% (with a LIBOR floor of .75%), and a $900.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) initially bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% (with a LIBOR floor of 0.00%) together with AUD225.0 million available solely for the issuance of financial letters of credit and performance letters of credit, in each case denominated in Australian Dollars (the “Australian LC Facility”). The Amended Credit Agreement also includes a $100.0 million Multicurrency Subfacility Commitment that is part of the Revolver and a $300.0 million letter of credit subfacility that is part of the Revolver. The Amended Credit Agreement also has an accordion feature of $450.0 million, subject to lender demand and prevailing market conditions and satisfying the relevant borrowing conditions. The Term Loan Maturity Date under the Amended Credit Agreement did not change from the Existing Credit Agreement and is April 3, 2020. The Amendment amended the termination date for the Revolving Credit Commitment component to May 19, 2021; provided, that if on October 3, 2019 both the maturity dates of all Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans have not been extended to November 19, 2021 or a later date, and the senior secured leverage ratio exceeds 2.50 to 1.00, then the termination date of the Revolving Credit Commitments will be October 3, 2019. The Amendment amended the maturity date for the performance letter of credit component of the Australian LC Facility to October 1, 2016, and the maturity date for the financial letter of credit component of the Australian LC Facility to February 15, 2017.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, and certain customary covenants that restrict GEO’s ability to, among other things (i) create, incur or assume any indebtedness, (ii) create, incur, assume or permit liens, (iii) make loans and investments, (iv) engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, (v) make certain restricted payments, (vi) issue, sell or otherwise dispose of capital stock, (vii) engage in transactions with affiliates, (viii) allow the total leverage ratio

Table of Contents

to exceed 6.25 to 1.00, allow the senior secured leverage ratio to exceed 3.50 to 1.00, or allow the interest coverage ratio to be less than 3.00 to 1.00, (ix) cancel, forgive, make any voluntary or optional payment or prepayment on, or redeem or acquire for value any senior notes, except as permitted, (x) allow the Australian Trustee to resign or retire as trustee of the Australian Trust or cause or permit any other person to become an additional trustee of the Australian Trust or take, or omit to take any action, which might or would result in the retirement, removal or replacement of the Australian Trustee as trustee of the Australian Trust, except as permitted, (xi) alter the business GEO conducts, and (xii) materially impair GEO’s lenders’ security interests in the collateral for its loans.

Events of default under the Amended Credit Agreement include, but are not limited to, (i) GEO’s or any Australian Borrower’s failure to pay principal or interest when due, (ii) GEO’s material breach of any representation or warranty, (iii) covenant defaults, (iv) liquidation, reorganization or other relief relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, (v) cross default under certain other material indebtedness, (vi) unsatisfied final judgments over a specified threshold, (vii) certain material environmental liability claims which have been asserted against GEO, (viii) unless the Australian Borrower Resignation Date (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) has occurred, certain events involving the Australian Trustee or the Australian Trust occur including the Australian Trustee ceases to be the trustee of the Australian Trust or the Australian Trust is terminated, and (ix) a change in control.

All of the obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of GEO and the Amended Credit Agreement and the related guarantees are secured by a perfected first-priority pledge of substantially all of GEO’s present and future tangible and intangible domestic assets and all present and future tangible and intangible domestic assets of each guarantor, including but not limited to a first-priority pledge of all of the outstanding capital stock owned by GEO and each guarantor in their domestic subsidiaries.

The Australian Borrowers are wholly owned foreign subsidiaries of GEO, and became party to the Amended Credit Agreement by executing the Amendment. Pursuant to the Amendment, GEO designated each of the Australian Borrowers as restricted subsidiaries under the Amended Credit Agreement. However, the Australian Borrowers are not obligated to pay or perform any obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement other than their own obligations as Australian Borrowers under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Australian Borrowers do not pledge any of their assets to secure any obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had $291.0 million in aggregate borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan, $450.0 million in borrowings under the Revolver, and approximately $54.2 million in letters of credit which left $395.8 million in additional borrowing capacity under the Revolver. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2016 was 2.9%.

6.00% Senior Notes due 2026

On April 18, 2016, the Company completed an offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% senior notes due 2026. The 6.00% Senior Notes were offered and sold in a registered offering pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated as of April 11, 2016 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among the Company, certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representative for the underwriters named therein.

Australia - Ravenhall

In connection with a new design and build prison project agreement with the State, the Company entered into a syndicated facility agreement (the “Construction Facility”) with National Australia Bank Limited to provide debt financing for construction of the project. The Construction Facility provides for non-recourse funding up to AUD 791.0 million, or approximately $589.0 million, based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2016. Construction draws will be funded throughout the project according to a fixed utilization schedule as defined in the syndicated facility agreement. The term of the Construction Facility is through October 2019 and bears interest at a variable rate quoted by certain Australian banks plus 200 basis points. Upon completion of the prison, the Construction Facility will be converted to a term loan with payments due quarterly beginning in 2018 through 2041. In accordance with the terms of the Construction Facility, upon completion and commercial acceptance of the prison, in accordance with the prison contract, the State will make a lump sum payment of AUD 310 million, or approximately $231 million, based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2016, towards a portion of the outstanding principal. The remaining outstanding principal balance will be repaid over the term of the operating agreement. As of June 30, 2016, approximately $359 million was outstanding under the Construction Facility. The Company also entered into interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements related to its non-recourse debt in connection with the project. Refer to Note 8 - Derivative Financial Instruments.

Guarantees

Australia

The Company has entered into certain guarantees in connection with the financing and construction performance of a facility in Australia. The obligations amounted to approximately AUD 215.0 million, or $160.1 million, based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2016. These guarantees are secured by outstanding letters of credit under the Company’s Revolver as of June 30, 2016.

At June 30, 2016, the Company also had thirteen other letters of credit outstanding under separate international facilities relating to performance guarantees of its Australian subsidiary totaling $19.6 million.

South Africa

In connection with the creation of South African Custodial Services Pty. Limited (“SACS”), the Company entered into certain guarantees related to the financing, construction and operation of the prison. As of June 30, 2016, the Company guaranteed obligations amounting to 15.0 million South African Rand, or $1.0 million based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2016. In the event SACS is unable to maintain the required funding in a rectification account maintained for the payment of certain costs in the event of contract termination, a previously existing guarantee by the Company for the shortfall will need to be re-instated. The remaining guarantee of 15.0 million South African Rand is secured by outstanding letters of credit under the Company’s Revolver as of June 30, 2016.

Table of Contents

In addition to the above, the Company has also agreed to provide a loan, if required, of up to 20 million South African Rand, or $1.4 million based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2016, referred to as the Shareholder’s Loan, to SACS for the purpose of financing SACS’ obligations under its contract with the South African government. No amounts have been funded under the standby facility, and the Company does not currently anticipate that such funding will be required by SACS in the future. The Company’s obligations under the Shareholder’s Loan expire upon the earlier of full funding or SACS’s release from its obligations under its debt agreements. SACS’ ability to draw on the Shareholder’s Loan is limited to certain circumstances, including termination of the contract.

The Company has also guaranteed certain obligations of SACS to the security trustee for SACS’ lenders. The Company secured its guarantee to the security trustee by ceding its rights to claims against SACS in respect of any loans or other finance agreements, and by pledging the Company’s shares in SACS. The Company’s liability under the guarantee is limited to the cession and pledge of shares. The guarantee expires upon expiration of the cession and pledge agreements.

Canada

In connection with a design, build, finance and maintenance contract for a facility in Canada, the Company guaranteed certain potential tax obligations of a trust. The potential estimated exposure of these obligations is Canadian Dollar 1.5 million, or $1.2 million, based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2016, commencing in 2017. The liability related to this exposure is included in Other Non-Current Liabilities as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. To secure this guarantee, the Company purchased Canadian Dollar denominated securities with maturities matched to the estimated tax obligations in 2017 to 2021. The Company has recorded an asset equal to the current fair value of those securities included in Other Non-Current Assets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not currently operate or manage this facility.

United Kingdom

In connection with the creation of GEOAmey, the Company and its joint venture partner guarantee the availability of working capital in equal proportion to ensure that GEOAmey can comply with current and future contractual commitments related to the performance of its operations. The Company and the 50% joint venture partner have each extended a £12 million line of credit, or $16.1 million, based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2016, of which £6.0 million, or $8.0 million, based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2016, was outstanding as of June 30, 2016. On June 29, 2016, GEOAmey made a principal payment in the amount of £2.5 million. The Company’s maximum exposure relative to the joint venture is its note receivable of approximately $8 million, which is included in Other Non-Current Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and future financial support necessary to guarantee performance under the contract.

Except as discussed above, the Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements.

13. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCMENTS

The Company implemented the following accounting standards during the six months ended June 30, 2016:

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest-Imputation of Interest,” which is intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance in this update does not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. Given the absence of authoritative guidance for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the debt issuance costs ratable over the term of the line-of-credit agreement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. In accordance with ASU No. 2015-03, the Company has applied the new guidance on a retrospective basis. As a result, the Company has reclassified debt issuance costs of $41.4 million and $41.1 million from Other Non-Current Assets to a direct reduction of Long-Term Debt and Non-Recourse Debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. In accordance with the SEC guidance discussed above, the Company continues to present debt issuance costs related to its Revolver as an asset which is included in Other Non-Current Assets. The implementation of this standard during the six months ended June 30, 2016 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Refer to Note 9 - Debt.

 

 

26


Table of Contents

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes,” which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring that all deferred income tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. ASU No. 2015-17 is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods with earlier application permitted. The Company early adopted this standard during the six months ended June 30, 2016 on a prospective basis. Adoption of this ASU resulted in a reclassification of the Company’s net current deferred tax asset and net non-current deferred tax liability to the net non-current deferred tax asset in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016. The prior reporting period was not retroactively adjusted. The implementation of this standard during the six months ended June 30, 2016 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The following accounting standards will be adopted in future periods:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” which changes the methodology for recognizing credit losses for entities holding financial assets that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments in this update affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The main objective of this update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this update replace the current incurred loss methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration in a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-13 are effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The implementation of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2016, the FASB amended ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which clarifies the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. This amendment clarifies that before an entity can identify its performance obligations in a contract with a customer, the entity first identifies the promised goods or services in the contract. An entity is not required to assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer. Also, an entity is permitted, as an accounting policy to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as an activity to fulfill the promise to transfer the good rather than as an additional promised service. The amendment also includes implementation guidance on determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in ASU No. 2016-08 are effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating whether this standard would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), as a part of its Simplification Initiative. Key areas of the amendments in this standard are (i) all excess tax benefits from stock plan transactions should be recognized in the income statement as opposed to being recognized in additional paid-in capital; (ii) the tax withholding threshold for triggering liability accounting on a net settlement transaction has been increased from the minimum statutory rate to the maximum statutory rate; and (iii) an entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they occur. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-09 are effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted. The implementation of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers—Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. This amendment clarifies that when another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, an entity is required to determine whether the nature of its promise is to provide the specified good or service itself (entity is a principal) or to arrange for that good or service to be provided by the other party (entity is an agent). When (or as) an entity that is a principal satisfies a performance obligation, the entity recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration it expects to be entitled in exchange for the specified good or service transferred to the customer. When (or as) an entity that is an agent satisfies a performance obligation, the entity recognizes revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for arranging the specified good or service to be provided by the other party. An entity is a principal if it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to the customer. The guidance includes indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-08 are effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating whether this standard would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-07, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures,” as a part of its Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this standard eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. Therefore, upon qualifying for the equity method of accounting, no retroactive adjustment of the investment is required. The amendments in ASU 2016-07 also require that an entity that has an available-for-sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method. The amendments in this standard are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments should be applied prospectively upon their effective date to increases in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the adoption of the equity method. Earlier application is permitted. The implementation of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging,” which clarifies that a change in the counter party to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The amendments in ASU 2016-05 are effective for public companies for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity has an option to apply the amendments in this standard on either a prospective basis or a modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The implementation of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which requires entities to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. For finance leases and operating leases, a lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use 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. The amendments in ASU 2016-02 are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is in the process of evaluating whether this standard would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report, including, without limitation, statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are “forward-looking” statements.

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors including, but not limited to, those described above under “Forward-Looking Information”, those described below under “Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” and under “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in the ownership, leasing and management of correctional, detention and reentry facilities and the provision of community-based services and youth services in the United States, Australia, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. We own, lease and operate a broad range of correctional and detention facilities including maximum, medium and minimum security prisons, immigration detention centers, minimum security detention centers, and community based reentry facilities and offer an expanded delivery of offender rehabilitation services under our ‘GEO Continuum of Care’ platform. We offer counseling, education and/or treatment to inmates with alcohol and drug abuse problems at most of the domestic facilities we manage. We are also a provider of innovative compliance technologies, industry-leading monitoring services, and evidence-based supervision and treatment programs for community-based parolees, probationers and pretrial defendants.

Our worldwide operations include the management and/or ownership of approximately 87,000 beds at 104 correctional, detention and reentry facilities, including idle facilities, projects under development and recently awarded contracts, and also include the provision of community supervision services for more than 139,000 offenders and pre-trial defendants, including approximately 83,000 individuals through an array of technology products including radio frequency, GPS, and alcohol monitoring devices.

We provide a diversified scope of services on behalf of our government clients:

 

    our correctional and detention management services involve the provision of security, administrative, rehabilitation, education and food services, primarily at adult male correctional and detention facilities;

 

40


Table of Contents
    our community-based services involve supervision of adult parolees and probationers and the provision of temporary housing, programming, employment assistance and other services with the intention of the successful reintegration of residents into the community;

 

    our youth services include residential, detention and shelter care and community-based services along with rehabilitative and educational programs;

 

    our monitoring services provide our governmental clients with innovative compliance technologies, industry-leading monitoring services, and evidence-based supervision and treatment programs for community-based parolees, probationers and pretrial defendants; including services provided under the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program, which we refer to as ISAP, to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which we refer to as ICE, for the provision of services designed to improve the participation of non-detained aliens in the immigration court system;

 

    we develop new facilities using our project development experience to design, construct and finance what we believe are state-of-the-art facilities that maximize security and efficiency;

 

    we provide secure transportation services for offender and detainee populations as contracted domestically and internationally - our joint venture GEOAmey is responsible for providing prisoner escort and custody services in the United Kingdom, including all of Wales and England except London and the East of England; and

 

    our services are provided at facilities which we either own, lease or are owned by our customers.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, we had consolidated revenues of $1,058.5 million and $873.3 million, respectively, and we maintained an average company wide facility occupancy rate of 92.4% including 83,943 active beds and excluding 3,426 idle beds (including those being marketed to potential customers) for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and 93.1% including 82,646 active beds and excluding 3,740 idle beds (including those being marketed to potential customers) for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

As a REIT, we are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gain) and we began paying regular quarterly REIT dividends in 2013. The amount, timing and frequency of future dividends, however, will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) and will be declared based upon various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, our financial condition and operating cash flows, the amount required to maintain REIT status, limitations on distributions in our existing and future debt instruments, limitations on our ability to fund distributions using cash generated through our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) and other factors that our Board may deem relevant.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, respectively, we declared and paid the following regular cash distributions to our shareholders as follows:

Fiscal 2016 Developments

Credit Agreement

On May 19, 2016 (the “Amendment Effective Date”), we executed Amendment No. 1, among GEO and GEO Corrections Holdings, Inc. (together with GEO, the “Borrowers”), GEO Australasia Holdings Pty Ltd (“GEO Australasia Holdings”), GEO Australasia Finance Holdings Pty Ltd as trustee for the GEO Australasia Finance Holding Trust (the “Australian Trust”) (the “Australian Trustee”, and together with GEO Australasia Holdings, collectively, the “Australian Borrowers”), the guarantors party thereto, the issuing lenders party thereto, the lenders party thereto and BNP Paribas, as administrative agent (the “Amendment”), to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 27, 2014, by and among the Borrowers, BNP Paribas, as administrative agent, and the lenders who are, or may from time to time become, a party thereto (the “Existing Credit Agreement”).

The Amendment amends certain terms of the Existing Credit Agreement to effect a revolving credit increase in the amount of $200.0 million, increases to the total leverage thresholds used in the determination of the applicable interest rates, and certain other modifications (the Existing Credit Agreement as so modified, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

The Amendment provides that each lender (including each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) that executed a lender addendum as a revolving credit lender agrees to provide a revolving credit commitment, inclusive of letters of credit issued thereunder, to the Borrowers at the Amendment Effective Time in an aggregate principal amount equal to $900.0 million (the“Revolving Credit Commitment”) on the terms set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, the Amendment increases the principal amount of letters of credit that may be issued under the Revolving Credit Commitment from $175.0 million to $300.0 million. Refer to Note 9 - Debt 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.

6.00% Senior Notes

On April 18, 2016, we completed an offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% senior notes due 2026 (the “6.00% Senior Notes”). The 6.00% Senior Notes were offered and sold in a registered offering pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated as of April 11, 2016 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among GEO, certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representative for the underwriters named therein. The 6.00% Senior Notes were issued by us pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of September 25, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”), by and between GEO and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, as supplemented by a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 18, 2016 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and among GEO, the guarantors and the trustee which governs the terms of the 6.00% Senior Notes. The sale of the 6.00% Senior Notes was registered under our existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed on September 12, 2014, as amended (File No. 333-198729). The 6.00% Senior Notes were issued at a coupon rate and yield to maturity of 6.00%. Interest on the 6.00% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on October 15, 2016. The 6.00% Senior Notes mature on April 15, 2026. We used part of the net proceeds to fund the tender offer or the repurchase, redemption or other discharge of any and all of our 6.625% Senior Notes (see discussion below), to pay all related fees, costs and expenses and for general corporate purposes including repaying borrowings under our Revolver. Loan costs of $6 million were incurred and capitalized in connection with the offering. Refer to Note 9 - Debt 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.

Tender Offer

On April 11, 2016, we announced that we had commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of our $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (“6.625% Senior Notes”). On April 18, 2016, we completed the purchase of $231.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.625% Senior Notes validly tendered in connection with our tender offer on or prior to the expiration time. On May 20, 2016, we completed the redemption of the remaining 6.625% Senior Notes in connection with the terms of the notice of redemption delivered to the note holders on April 20, 2016 pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 6.625% Senior Notes. We financed the purchase of the 6.625% Senior Notes under the tender offer with part of the net cash proceeds from the 6.00% Senior Notes (see discussion above). As a result of the tender offer and redemption, we incurred a $15.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the tender premium and deferred costs associated with the 6.625% Senior Notes. Refer to Note 9 - Debt 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.

Idle Facilities

We are currently marketing approximately 3,300 vacant beds at four of our idle facilities to potential customers. The carrying values of these idle facilities totaled approximately $34.6 million as of June 30, 2016, excluding equipment and other assets that can be easily transferred for use at other facilities.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We routinely evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we did not experience any significant changes in estimates or judgments inherent in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. A summary of our significant accounting policies is contained in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

U.S. Corrections & Detention

Revenues increased in Second Quarter 2016 compared to Second Quarter 2015 primarily due to aggregate increases of $25.2 million resulting from: (i) the activation and intake of detainees at our company-owned Great Plains correctional facility in June 2015; (ii) the activation and intake of inmates at our company-owned North Lake correctional facility in May 2015; (iii) the activation and intake of inmates at our company-owned Mesa Verde facility; (iv) the acquisition of the LCS Facilities in February 2015; and (v) our assumption of the management of the 3,400-bed Arizona State Prison facility in Kingman, Arizona in December 2015. We also experienced aggregate increases in revenues of $20.3 million at certain of our facilities primarily due to net increases in population, transportation services and/or rates. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $8.3 million primarily due to contract terminations.

The number of compensated mandays in U.S. Corrections & Detention facilities was approximately 5.5 million in Second Quarter 2016 and 5.1 million in Second Quarter 2015. We experienced an aggregate net increase of approximately 379,000 mandays as a result of our new contracts and business acquisition discussed above. These increases were partially offset by decreases resulting from lower populations at certain facilities. We look at the average occupancy in our facilities to determine how we are managing our available beds. The average occupancy is calculated by taking compensated mandays as a percentage of capacity. The average occupancy in our U.S. Corrections & Detention facilities was 93.3% and 93.2% of capacity in the Second Quarter 2016 and Second Quarter 2015, respectively, excluding idle facilities.

GEO Care

Revenues increased by $13.9 million for GEO Care in Second Quarter 2016 compared to Second Quarter 2015 primarily due to increases in average client and participant counts under our electronic monitoring contracts and ISAP services. We also experienced increases from new contracts and program growth at our community based and reentry centers, including our new contract for community-based case management services under a new pilot program in September 2015 by the Department of Homeland Security.

International Services

Revenues for International Services in Second Quarter 2016 compared to Second Quarter 2015 in total remained fairly consistent. We experienced a decrease of $6.8 million primarily attributable to our South African subsidiary related to temporary labor related matters. These decreases were partially offset by foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $6.8 million resulting from the weakening of the U.S. dollar against certain international currencies.

Facility Construction & Design

Revenues for our Facility Construction & Design services relate to the commencement of design and construction activity for our new Ravenhall Prison Contract executed in September 2014 with the Department of Justice in the State of Victoria, Australia. The increase is due to increased construction activity during 2015 and into 2016.

Operating expenses consist of those expenses incurred in the operation and management of our correctional, detention and community based facilities.

U.S. Corrections & Detention

The increase in operating expenses for U.S. Corrections & Detention reflects an increase of $16.4 million due to (i) the activation and intake of detainees at our company-owned Great Plains correctional facility in June 2015; (ii) the activation and intake of inmates at our company-owned North Lake correctional facility in May 2015; (iii) the activation and intake of inmates at our company-owned Mesa Verde facility; (iv) the acquisition of the LCS Facilities in February 2015; and (v) our assumption of the management of the 3,400-bed Arizona State Prison facility in Kingman, Arizona in December 2015. We also experienced increases of $11.6 million at certain of our facilities primarily attributable to expenditures related to the expansion of the delivery of offender rehabilitation services under our GEO Continuum of Care platform, net population increases, increased transportation services and the variable costs associated with those increases. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $3.7 million primarily related to contract terminations.

GEO Care

Operating expenses for GEO Care increased by $5.0 million during Second Quarter 2016 from Second Quarter 2015 primarily due to increases in average client and participant counts under our electronic monitoring contracts and ISAP services. We also experienced increases from new contracts and program growth at our community based and reentry centers, including our new contract for community-based case management services under a new pilot program in September 2015 by the Department of Homeland Security.

International Services

Operating expenses for International Services in Second Quarter 2016 compared to Second Quarter 2015 increased by $2.2 million. The increase was primarily due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $5.5 million resulting from the weakening of the U.S. dollar against certain international currencies. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $3.4 million primarily attributable to our South African subsidiary. Overall, our international segment experienced a slight decline in financial performance primarily driven by temporary labor related matters affecting our South African operation during Second Quarter 2016.

Facility Construction & Design

Operating expenses for our Facility Construction & Design services relate to the commencement of design and construction activity for our new Ravenhall Prison Contract executed in September 2014 with the Department of Justice in the State of Victoria, Australia. The increase is due to increased construction activity during 2015 and into 2016.

The increase in general and administrative expenses in Second Quarter 2016 compared to Second Quarter 2015 was primarily attributable to (i) expenditures related to the expansion of the delivery of offender rehabilitation services under our GEO Continuum of Care platform of $0.3 million; (ii) non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million; (iii) increases related to normal personnel and compensation adjustments of $2.6 million; and (iv) professional fees of $1.1 million.

The provision for income taxes during Second Quarter 2016 increased compared to Second Quarter 2015 along with the effective tax rate. The increase is primarily due to debt extinguishment costs incurred by the REIT in Second Quarter 2016 which carry no tax benefit. As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to shareholders and in turn are allowed a deduction for the distribution at the REIT level. Our wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries continue to be fully subject to federal, state and foreign income taxes, as applicable. We estimate our annual effective tax rate to be in the range of approximately 10% to 12% exclusive of any non-recurring items.

U.S. Corrections & Detention

Revenues increased in First Half 2016 compared to First Half 2015 primarily due to aggregate increases of $63.0 million resulting from: (i) the activation and intake of detainees at our company-owned Great Plains correctional facility in June 2015; (ii) the activation and intake of inmates at our company-owned North Lake correctional facility in May 2015; (iii) the activation and intake of inmates at our company-owned Mesa Verde facility; (iv) the acquisition of the LCS Facilities in February 2015; and (v) our assumption of the management of the 3,400-bed Arizona State Prison facility in Kingman, Arizona in December 2015. We also experienced aggregate increases in revenues of $40.7 million at certain of our facilities primarily due to net increases in population, transportation services and/or rates. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $13.7 million primarily due to contract terminations.

The number of compensated mandays in U.S. Corrections & Detention facilities was approximately 10.9 million in First Half 2016 and 9.9 million in First Half 2015. We experienced an aggregate net increase of approximately 1,059,000 mandays as a result of our new contracts and business acquisition discussed above. These increases were partially offset by decreases resulting from lower populations at certain facilities. We look at the average occupancy in our facilities to determine how we are managing our available beds. The average occupancy is calculated by taking compensated mandays as a percentage of capacity. The average occupancy in our U.S. Corrections & Detention facilities was 92.6% and 93.3% of capacity in the First Half 2016 and First Half 2015, respectively, excluding idle facilities.

GEO Care

Revenues increased for GEO Care in First Half 2016 compared to First Half 2015 primarily due to increases in average client and participant counts under our electronic monitoring contracts and ISAP services. We also experienced increases from new contracts and program growth at our community based and reentry centers, including our new contract for community-based case management services under a new pilot program in September 2015 by the Department of Homeland Security.

International Services

Revenues for International Services in First Half 2016 compared to First Half 2015 decreased by $3.1 million. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease of $18.5 million primarily attributable to our South African subsidiary related to temporary labor related matters. These decreases were partially offset by foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $15.3 million resulting from the weakening of the U.S. dollar against certain international currencies.

Facility Construction & Design

Revenues for our Facility Construction & Design services relate to the commencement of design and construction activity for our new Ravenhall Prison Contract executed in September 2014 with the Department of Justice in the State of Victoria, Australia. The increase is due to increased construction activity during 2015 and into 2016.

Operating expenses consist of those expenses incurred in the operation and management of our correctional, detention and community based facilities.

U.S. Corrections & Detention

The increase in operating expenses for U.S. Corrections & Detention reflects an increase of $50.1 million due to (i) the activation and intake of detainees at our company-owned Great Plains correctional facility in June 2015; (ii) the activation and

intake of inmates at our company-owned North Lake correctional facility in May 2015; (iii) the activation and intake of inmates at our company-owned Mesa Verde facility; (iv) the acquisition of the LCS Facilities in February 2015; and (v) our assumption of the management of the 3,400-bed Arizona State Prison facility in Kingman, Arizona in December 2015. The timing of these activations and the corresponding start-up expenses resulted in an increase in our operating expenses as a percentage of segment revenue in First Half 2016. We also experienced increases of $28.4 million at certain of our facilities primarily attributable to expenditures related to the expansion of the delivery of offender rehabilitation services under our GEO Continuum of Care platform, net population increases, increased transportation services and the variable costs associated with those increases. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $7.4 million primarily related to contract terminations.

GEO Care

Operating expenses for GEO Care increased by $12.0 million during First Half 2016 from First Half 2015 primarily due to increases in average client and participant counts under our electronic monitoring contracts and ISAP services. We also experienced increases from new contracts and program growth at our community based and reentry centers, including our new contract for community-based case management services under a new pilot program in September 2015 by the Department of Homeland Security.

International Services

Operating expenses for International Services in First Half 2016 compared to First Half 2015 decreased by $0.8 million. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease of $13.8 million primarily attributable to our South African subsidiary. Overall, our international segment experienced a slight decline in financial performance primarily driven by temporary labor related matters affecting our South African operation during Second Quarter 2016. These decreases were partially offset by foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $13.0 million resulting from the weakening of the U.S. dollar against certain international currencies.

Facility Construction & Design

Operating expenses for our Facility Construction & Design services relate to the commencement of design and construction activity for our new Ravenhall Prison Contract executed in September 2014 with the Department of Justice in the State of Victoria, Australia. The increase is due to increased construction activity during 2015 and into 2016.

U.S. Corrections & Detention

U.S. Corrections & Detention depreciation and amortization expense increased in First Half 2016 compared to First Half 2015 primarily due to renovations made at several of our facilities.

GEO Care

GEO Care depreciation and amortization expense increased in First Half 2016 compared to First Half 2015 primarily due to renovations made at several of our locations.

Table of Contents

International Services

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased slightly in First Half 2016 compared to First Half 2015 as a result of certain assets becoming fully depreciated and there were no significant additions or renovations during 2015 or 2016 at our international subsidiaries.

General and administrative expenses comprise substantially all of our other unallocated operating expenses which primarily includes corporate management salaries and benefits, professional fees and other administrative expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses in First Half 2016 compared to First Half 2015 was primarily attributable to (i) expenditures related to the expansion of the delivery of offender rehabilitation services under our GEO Continuum of Care platform of $0.6 million; (ii) non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.9 million; and (iii) increases related to normal personnel and compensation adjustments of $4.1 million; and (iv) and professional fees of $2.2 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in business development costs and non-recurring legal fees incurred in connection with our acquisition of Soberlink and the LCS Facilities in 2015.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes during First Half 2016 increased compared to First Half 2015 along with the effective tax rate. The increase is primarily due to debt extinguishment costs incurred by the REIT in First Half 2016 which carry no tax benefit. As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to shareholders and in turn are allowed a deduction for the distribution at the REIT level. Our wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries continue to be fully subject to federal, state and foreign income taxes, as applicable. We estimate our annual effective tax rate to be in the range of approximately 10% to 12% exclusive of any non-recurring items.

Equity in earnings of affiliates, presented net of income taxes, represents the earnings of SACS and GEOAmey in the aggregate. Equity in earnings of affiliates during First Half 2016 compared to First Half 2015 increased primarily as a result of favorable performance by GEOAmey during the periods.

Financial Condition

Capital Requirements

Our current cash requirements consist of amounts needed for working capital, distributions of our REIT taxable income in order to maintain our REIT qualification, debt service, supply purchases, investments in joint ventures, and capital expenditures related to either the development of new correctional, detention and reentry facilities, or the maintenance of existing facilities. In addition, some of our management contracts require us to make substantial initial expenditures of cash in connection with opening or renovating a facility. Generally, these initial expenditures are subsequently fully or partially recoverable as pass-through costs or are billable as a component of the per diem rates or monthly fixed fees to the contracting agency over the original term of the contract. In connection with GEOAmey, our joint venture in the United Kingdom, we and our joint venture partner have each provided a line of credit of £12 million, or $16.1 million, based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2016, for GEOAmey’s operations. As of June 30, 2016, $8.0 million was outstanding.

We currently have contractual commitments for a number of projects using Company financing. We estimate that the cost of these existing capital projects will be approximately $109 million of which $6 million was spent through June 30, 2016. We estimate that the remaining capital requirements related to these capital projects will be $103 million which will be spent through 2017. Included in these commitments is a contractual commitment to provide a capital contribution towards the design and construction of a prison project in Ravenhall, a locality near Melbourne, Australia, which is estimated to be approximately $84 million as of June 30, 2016. This capital contribution is expected to be made in January 2017. Additionally, in connection with the Ravenhall Prison Project, we have a contractual commitment for construction of the facility and have entered into a syndicated facility agreement with National Australia Bank Limited to provide funding for the project up to AUD 791.0 million, or $589.0 million, based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2016.

Indebtedness

On May 19, 2016 (the “Amendment Effective Date”), we executed Amendment No. 1, among GEO and GEO Corrections Holdings, Inc. (together with GEO, the “Borrowers”), GEO Australasia Holdings Pty Ltd (“GEO Australasia Holdings”), GEO Australasia Finance Holdings Pty Ltd as trustee for the GEO Australasia Finance Holding Trust (the “Australian Trust”) (the “Australian Trustee”, and together with GEO Australasia Holdings, collectively, the “Australian Borrowers”), the guarantors party thereto, the issuing lenders party thereto, the lenders party thereto and BNP Paribas, as administrative agent (the “Amendment”), to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 27, 2014, by and among the Borrowers, BNP Paribas, as administrative agent, and the lenders who are, or may from time to time become, a party thereto (the “Existing Credit Agreement”).

The Amendment amends certain terms of the Existing Credit Agreement to effect a revolving credit increase in the amount of $200.0 million, increases to the total leverage thresholds used in the determination of the applicable interest rates, and certain other modifications (the Existing Credit Agreement as so modified, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

The Amendment provides that each lender (including each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) that executed a lender addendum as a revolving credit lender agrees to provide a revolving credit commitment, inclusive of letters of credit issued thereunder, to the Borrowers at the Amendment Effective Time in an aggregate principal amount equal to $900.0 million (the“Revolving Credit Commitment”) on the terms set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, the Amendment increases the principal amount of letters of credit that may be issued under the Revolving Credit Commitment from $175.0 million to $300.0 million.

As of June 30, 2016, we had $291.0 million in aggregate borrowings outstanding, net of discount, under the Term Loan and $450.0 million in borrowings under the Revolver, and approximately $54.2 million in letters of credit which left $395.8 million in additional borrowing capacity under the Revolver. Refer to Note 9 - Debt 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.

On April 18, 2016, we completed an offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Senior Notes. The 6.00% Senior Notes were offered and sold in a registered offering pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated as of April 11, 2016 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among GEO, certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representative for the underwriters named therein. The 6.00% Senior Notes were issued by us pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of September 25, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”), by and between GEO and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, as supplemented by a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 18, 2016 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and among GEO, the guarantors and the trustee which governs the terms of the 6.00% Senior Notes. The sale of the 6.00% Senior Notes was registered under our existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed on September 12, 2014, as amended (File No. 333-198729). The 6.00% Senior Notes were issued at a coupon rate and yield to maturity of 6.00%. Interest on the 6.00% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on October 15, 2016. The 6.00% Senior Notes mature on April 15, 2026. We used part of the net proceeds to fund the tender offer or the repurchase, redemption or other discharge of any and all of our 6.625% Senior Notes (see discussion below), to pay all related fees, costs and expenses and for general corporate purposes including repaying borrowings under our Revolver. Loan costs of approximately $6 million were incurred and capitalized in connection with the offering. Refer to Note 9 - Debt 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.

On April 11, 2016, we announced that we had commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of our $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.625% Senior Notes. On April 18, 2016, we completed the purchase of $231.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.625% Senior Notes validly tendered in connection with our tender offer on or prior to the expiration time. On May 20, 2016, we completed the redemption of the remaining 6.625% Senior Notes in connection with the terms of the notice of redemption delivered to the note holders on April 20, 2016 pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 6.625% Senior Notes. We financed the purchase of the 6.625% Senior Notes under the tender offer with part of the net cash proceeds from the 6.00% Senior Notes (see discussion above). As a result of the tender offer and redemption, we incurred a $15.9 million loss on extinguishment related to the tender premium and deferred costs associated with the 6.625% Senior Notes. Refer to Note 9 - Debt 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.

On September 25, 2014, we completed an offering of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes. The notes will mature on October 15, 2024 and have a coupon rate and yield to maturity of 5.875%. Interest is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15, which commenced on April 15, 2015. The 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all our restricted subsidiaries that guarantee obligations. The 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 rank equally in right of payment with any unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company and the guarantors, including our 5.875% senior notes due 2022, the 5.125% senior notes due 2023, and the guarantors’ guarantees thereof, senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness of ours and the guarantors that is expressly subordinated to the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 and the guarantees, effectively junior to any secured indebtedness of ours and the guarantors, including indebtedness under our Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all obligations of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors. The sale of the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 was registered under our automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed on September 12, 2014. Refer to Note 9 - Debt 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.

In connection with a new design and build prison project agreement in Ravenhall, Australia with the State of Victoria, in September 2014, we entered into a syndicated facility agreement (the “Construction Facility”) with National Australia Bank Limited to provide debt financing for construction of the project. The Construction Facility provides for non-recourse funding up to AUD 791 million, or approximately $589 million, based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2016. Construction draws will be funded throughout the project according to a fixed utilization schedule as defined in the syndicated facility agreement. The term of the Construction Facility is through October 2019 and bears interest at a variable rate quoted by certain Australian banks plus 200 basis points. After October 2019, the Construction Facility will be converted to a term loan with payments due quarterly beginning in 2019 through 2041. In accordance with the terms of the Construction Facility, upon completion and commercial acceptance of the prison, in accordance with the prison contract, the State will make a lump sum payment of AUD 310 million, or approximately $231 million, based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2016, towards a portion of the outstanding principal. The remaining outstanding principal balance will be repaid over the term of the operating agreement. As of June 30, 2016, approximately $359 million was outstanding under the Construction Facility. We also entered into interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements related to our non-recourse debt in connection with the project. Refer to Note 8 - Derivative Financial Instruments 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.

On October 3, 2013, we completed an offering of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022. The 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022 will mature on January 15, 2022 and have a coupon rate and yield to maturity of 5.875%. Interest is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 each year, which commenced on January 15, 2014. The proceeds received from the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022 were used, together with cash on hand, to fund the repurchase, redemption or other discharge of our 7.75% senior notes due 2017 and to pay related transaction fees and expenses. Refer to Note 9 - Debt 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.

On March 19, 2013, we completed an offering of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes. The 5.125% Senior Notes will mature on April 1, 2023 and have a coupon rate and yield to maturity of 5.125%. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 each year, which commenced on October 1, 2013. A portion of the proceeds received from the 5.125% Senior Notes were used on the date of the financing to repay the prior revolver credit draws outstanding under the prior senior credit facility. Refer to Note 9 - Debt 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.

In addition to the debt outstanding under the Credit Facility, the 6.00% Senior Notes, the 5.125% Senior Notes, the 5.875.% Senior Notes due 2022 and the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 discussed above, we also have significant debt obligations which, although these obligations are non-recourse to us, require cash expenditures for debt service. Our significant debt

obligations could have material consequences. See “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our High Level of Indebtedness” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. We are exposed to various commitments and contingencies which may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity. We also have guaranteed certain obligations for certain of our international subsidiaries. These non-recourse obligations, commitments and contingencies and guarantees are further discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

We consider opportunities for future business and/or asset acquisitions as we deem appropriate when market conditions present opportunities. If we are successful in our pursuit of any new projects, our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and borrowings under the existing Credit Facility may not provide sufficient liquidity to meet our capital needs and we could be forced to seek additional financing or refinance our existing indebtedness. There can be no assurance that any such financing or refinancing would be available to us on terms equal to or more favorable than our current financing terms, or at all. In the future, our access to capital and ability to compete for future capital intensive projects will also be dependent upon, among other things, our ability to meet certain financial covenants in the indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes, the indenture governing the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022, the indenture governing the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024, the indenture governing the 6.00% Senior Notes due 2026 and our Credit Agreement. A substantial decline in our financial performance could limit our access to capital pursuant to these covenants and have a material adverse affect on our liquidity and capital resources and, as a result, on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition to these foregoing potential constraints on our capital, a number of state government agencies have been suffering from budget deficits and liquidity issues. While we expect to be in compliance with our debt covenants, if these constraints were to intensify, our liquidity could be materially adversely impacted as could our ability to remain in compliance with these debt covenants.

Prospectus Supplement

On May 8, 2013, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a prospectus supplement related to the offer and sale from time to time of the Company’s common stock at an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million through sales agents. Sales of shares of the Company’s common stock under the prospectus supplement and equity distribution agreements entered into with the sales agents, if any, were to be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that were deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933. On July 18, 2014, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a post-effective amendment to its shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (pursuant to which the prospectus supplement had been filed) as a result of the merger of the Company into The GEO Group REIT, Inc. effective June 27, 2014. There were no shares of the Company’s common stock sold under the prospectus supplement during the year ended December 31, 2015 nor the six months ended June 30, 2016.

In September 2014, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a new automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3. On November 10, 2014, in connection with the new shelf registration, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a new prospectus supplement related to the offer and sale from time to time of the Company’s common stock at an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million through sales agents. Sales of shares of the Company’s common stock under the prospectus supplement and the equity distribution agreements entered into with the sales agents, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933. There were no shares of the Company’s stock issued under this prospectus supplement during the year ended December 31, 2015 nor the six months ended June 30, 2016.

As a REIT, we are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we annually distribute to our shareholders an amount equal to at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and by excluding any net capital gain). Generally, we expect to distribute all or substantially all of our REIT taxable income so as not to be subject to the income or excise tax on undistributed REIT taxable income. The amount, timing and frequency of distributions will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will be based upon various factors.

We plan to fund all of our capital needs, including distributions of our REIT taxable income in order to maintain our REIT qualification, and capital expenditures, from cash on hand, cash from operations, borrowings under our Credit Facility and any

other financings which our management and Board of Directors, in their discretion, may consummate. Currently, our primary source of liquidity to meet these requirements is cash flow from operations and borrowings under the $700.0 million Revolver. Our management believes that cash on hand, cash flows from operations and availability under our Credit Facility will be adequate to support our capital requirements for 2016 through 2017 as disclosed under “Capital Requirements” above.

Executive Retirement Agreement

We have a non-qualified deferred compensation agreement with our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The current agreement, as amended, provides for a lump sum payment upon retirement, no sooner than age 55. As of January 1, 2013, our CEO had reached age 55 and was eligible to receive the payment upon retirement. If our CEO had retired as of June 30, 2016, we would have had to pay him $7.7 million. Based on our current capitalization, we do not believe that making this payment would materially adversely impact our liquidity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Except as discussed above, and in the notes to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Cash Flow

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2016 was $38.9 million, compared to $59.6 million as of December 31, 2015.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $38.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 versus cash provided by operating activities of $79.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was positively impacted by net income attributable to GEO, non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt, amortization of debt issuance costs, and stock-based compensation expense. Equity in earnings of affiliates negatively impacted cash. Changes in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets decreased in total by $14.0 million, representing a positive impact on cash. The decrease was primarily driven by the timing of billings and collections. Changes in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities increased by $9.6 million which positively impacted cash. The increase was primarily driven by the timing of payments.

Additionally, cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was negatively impacted by an increase in changes in contract receivable of $124.3 million. This increase relates to costs incurred and estimated earnings in excess of billings related to the prison project in Ravenhall, Australia. The contract receivable is expected to grow as construction services are performed and will continue to have a negative impact on cash from operating activities until the balance is ultimately settled with the State. In accordance with the contract, the project will not be billed out until completion and commercial acceptance of the facility by the State.

Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was positively impacted by net income attributable to GEO, non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt issuance costs, and stock-based compensation expense. Equity in earnings of affiliates negatively impacted cash. Changes in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets decreased in total by $14.0 million, representing a positive impact on cash. The decrease was primarily driven by the timing of billings and collections. Changes in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased by $1.2 million which negatively impacted cash. The decrease was primarily driven by the timing of payments.

Additionally, cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was negatively impacted by an increase in changes in contract receivable of $46.6 million. This increase relates to costs incurred and estimated earnings in excess of billings related to the prison project in Ravenhall, Australia. The contract receivable is expected to grow as

construction services are performed and will continue to have a negative impact on cash from operating activities until the balance is ultimately settled with the State. In accordance with the contract, the project will not be billed out until completion and commercial acceptance of the facility by the State.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities of $111.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily the result of capital expenditures of $46.0 million and changes in restricted cash of $65.9 million. Cash used in investing activities of $407.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily the result of our business acquisitions of the LCS Facilities and Soberlink in the amount of $307.4 million and $24.4 million, respectively, and capital expenditures of $71.7 million.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 amounted to $52.0 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $334.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily the result of proceeds from long-term debt of $641.0 million which included the issuance of our 6.00% Senior Notes. Additionally, we had proceeds from non-recourse debt of $159.1 million related to construction draws for our prison project in Ravenhall, Australia. These increases were partially offset by a decrease for dividends paid of $97.2 million and payments on long-term debt of $627.5 million which included the redemption of our 6.625% Senior Notes. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily the result of proceeds from long-term debt of $518.0 million under our Revolver which was primarily used to fund the acquisition of the LCS Facilities. Additionally, we had proceeds from non-recourse debt of $49.7 million related to construction draws for our prison project in Ravenhall, Australia. These increases were partially offset by a decrease for dividends paid of $92.3 million and payments on long-term debt of $134.7 million.

Non-GAAP Measures

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a widely accepted supplemental non-GAAP measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate investment trusts. It is defined in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which defines FFO as net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders (computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding gains and losses from the cumulative effects of accounting changes, extraordinary items and sales of properties, and including adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

We also present Normalized Funds From Operations, or Normalized FFO, and Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of real estate investment trusts’ operating performances.

Normalized FFO is defined as FFO adjusted for certain items which by their nature are not comparable from period to period or that tend to obscure the Company’s actual operating performance, including for the periods presented start-up expenses, net of tax, mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”) related expenses, net of tax and loss on extinguishment of debt, net of tax.

AFFO is defined as Normalized FFO adjusted by adding non-cash expenses such as non-real estate related depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation expense, the amortization of debt issuance costs, discount and/or premium and other non-cash interest, and by subtracting recurring consolidated maintenance capital expenditures.

Because of the unique design, structure and use of our correctional facilities, we believe that assessing the performance of our correctional facilities without the impact of depreciation or amortization is useful and meaningful to investors. Although NAREIT has published its definition of FFO, companies often modify this definition as they seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their distinctive operations. We have modified FFO to derive Normalized FFO and AFFO that meaningfully reflect our operations. Our assessment of our operations is focused on long-term sustainability. The adjustments

Table of Contents

we make to derive the non-GAAP measures of Normalized FFO and AFFO exclude items which may cause short-term fluctuations in income from continuing operations but have no impact on our cash flows, or we do not consider them to be fundamental attributes or the primary drivers of our business plan and they do not affect our overall long-term operating performance.

We may make adjustments to FFO from time to time for certain other income and expenses that do not reflect a necessary component of our operational performance on the basis discussed above, even though such items may require cash settlement. Because FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO exclude depreciation and amortization unique to real estate as well as non-operational items and certain other charges that are highly variable from year to year, they provide our investors with performance measures that reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, per diem rates, operating costs and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from income from continuing operations. We believe the presentation of FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO provide useful information to investors as they provide an indication of our ability to fund capital expenditures and expand our business. FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO provide disclosure on the same basis as that used by our management and provide consistency in our financial reporting, facilitate internal and external comparisons of our historical operating performance and our business units and provide continuity to investors for comparability purposes. Additionally, FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO are widely recognized measures in our industry as a real estate investment trust.

Our reconciliation of net income attributable to The GEO Group, Inc. to FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows (in thousands):

Outlook

The following discussion contains statements that are not historical statements and, therefore, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Please refer to “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” and the “Forward Looking Statements - Safe Harbor” sections in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as well as the “Forward-Looking Statements - Safe Harbor” section and other disclosures contained in this Form 10-Q for further discussion on forward-looking statements and the risks and other factors that could prevent us from achieving our goals and cause the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements and the actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements.

Revenue

Domestically, we continue to pursue a number of opportunities for corrections and detention facilities. Continued need for corrections facilities in various states and the need for bed space at the federal level are two of the factors that have contributed to these opportunities.

During the first quarter of 2016, we completed the activation of the 3,400-bed Arizona State Prison in Kingman, Arizona under an assignment, from the previous operator, of the existing managed-only contract with the State of Arizona.

We continue to be encouraged by the current landscape of growth opportunities; however any positive trends may, to some extent, be adversely impacted by government budgetary constraints in the future. While state finances overall are stable, future budgetary pressures may cause state correctional agencies to pursue a number of cost savings initiatives which may include reductions in per diem rates and/or the scope of services provided by private operators. These potential cost savings initiatives could have a material adverse impact on our current operations and/or our ability to pursue new business opportunities. Additionally, if state budgetary constraints, as discussed above, persist or intensify, our state customers’ ability to pay us may be impaired and/or we may be forced to renegotiate our management contracts on less favorable terms and our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely impacted. We plan to actively bid on any new projects that fit our target profile for profitability and operational risk. Although we are pleased with the overall industry outlook, positive trends in the industry may be offset by several factors, including budgetary constraints, unanticipated contract terminations, contract non-renewals, and/or contract re-bids. Although we have historically had a relatively high contract renewal rate, 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.

Internationally, we are exploring a number of opportunities in our current markets and will continue to actively bid on any opportunities that fit our target profile for profitability and operational risk. In September 2014, we announced that a consortium led by us and comprised of The GEO Group Australia Pty. Ltd., John Holland Construction and Honeywell signed a contract with the Department of Justice in the State of Victoria for the development and operation of a 1,300-bed capacity prison in Ravenhall, Australia. The Ravenhall facility will be developed under a public-private partnership financing structure with a capital contribution from us of approximately AUD 115 million, or $85.6 million, based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2016, and we anticipate returns on investment consistent with our company-owned facilities.

With respect to our reentry services, electronic monitoring services, and youth services business conducted through our GEO Care business segment, we are currently pursuing a number of business development opportunities. Relative to opportunities for community-based reentry services, we are working with our existing federal, state, and local correctional clients to leverage new opportunities for both residential reentry facilities as well as non-residential day reporting centers. We continue to expend resources on informing state and local governments about the benefits of public-private partnerships, and we anticipate that there will be new opportunities in the future as those efforts begin to yield results. We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on any suitable opportunities that become available in this area.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist of those expenses incurred in the operation and management of our contracts to provide services to our governmental clients. Labor and related cost represented 50.0% of our operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2016. Additional significant operating expenses include food, utilities and inmate medical costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, operating expenses totaled 76.1% of our consolidated revenues. Our operating expenses as a percentage of revenues in 2016 will be impacted by the opening of any new or existing idle facilities as a result of the cost of transitioning and/or start-up operations related to a facility opening. During 2016, we will incur carrying costs for facilities that are currently vacant. As of June 30, 2016, our worldwide operations include the management and/or ownership of approximately 87,000 beds at 104 correctional and detention facilities, including idle facilities, projects under development and recently awarded contracts, and also include the provision of community supervision services for more than 127,000 offenders and pre-trial defendants, including approximately 83,000 individuals through an array of technology products including radio frequency, GPS, and alcohol monitoring devices.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of corporate management salaries and benefits, professional fees and other administrative expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, general and administrative expenses totaled 6.7% of our consolidated revenues. We expect general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues in 2016 to remain consistent or decrease as a result of cost savings initiatives. We expect business development costs to remain consistent or increase slightly as we pursue additional business development opportunities in all of our business lines. We also plan to continue expending resources from time to time on the evaluation of potential acquisition targets.

Idle Facilities

We are currently marketing approximately 3,300 vacant beds at four of our idle facilities to potential customers. The annual carrying cost of our idle facilities in 2016 is estimated to be $12.7 million, including depreciation expense of $1.5 million. As of June 30, 2016, these facilities had a net book value of $34.6 million. We currently do not have any firm commitment or agreement in place to activate these facilities. Historically, some facilities have been idle for multiple years before they received a new contract award. These idle facilities are included in the U.S. Corrections & Detention segment. The per diem rates that we charge our clients often vary by contract across our portfolio. However, if all of these idle facilities were to be activated using our U.S. Corrections & Detention average per diem rate in 2015 (calculated as the U.S. Corrections & Detention revenue divided by the number of U.S. Corrections & Detention mandays) and based on the average occupancy rate in our U.S. Corrections & Detention facilities through June 30, 2016, we would expect to receive incremental annualized revenue of approximately $70 million and an annualized increase in earnings per share of approximately $0.20 to $0.25 per share based on our average U.S. Corrections and Detention operating margin.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to changes in interest rates with respect to our Credit Facility. Payments under the Credit Facility are indexed to a variable interest rate. Based on borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility of $740.6 million and $54.2 million in outstanding letters of credit, as of June 30, 2016, for every one percent increase in the average interest rate applicable to the Credit Facility, our total annual interest expense would increase by $7.4 million.

We have entered into certain interest rate swap arrangements for hedging purposes, fixing the interest rate on our Australian non-recourse debt related to the Fulham facility to 9.7%. We have also entered into certain interest rate swap arrangements for hedging purposes, fixing the interest rates on our Australian non-recourse debt related to our Ravenhall Project to 3.3% during the design and construction phase and 4.2% during the operating phase. The difference between the floating rate and the swap rate on these instruments is recognized in interest expense within the respective entity. Because the interest rates with respect to these instruments are fixed, a hypothetical one percent change in the current interest rate would not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Additionally, we invest our cash in a variety of short-term financial instruments to provide a return. These instruments generally consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less. While these instruments are subject to interest rate risk, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are also exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar, and the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the South African Rand and the British Pound currency exchange rates. Based upon our foreign currency exchange rate exposure at June 30, 2016, every 10 percent change in historical currency rates would have approximately a $1.3 million effect on our financial position and approximately a $0.6 million impact on our results of operations during the three months ended June 30, 2016.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to as the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. On the basis of this review, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC, under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

It should be noted that the effectiveness of our system of disclosure controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations inherent in any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing and evaluating the controls and procedures, the assumptions used in identifying the likelihood of future events, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect all errors or fraud. As a result, by its nature, our system of disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

Management believes that there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
