The GEO Group Reports First Quarter 2024 Results
First Quarter 2024 Highlights
Total revenues of $605.7 million Net Income of $22.7 million Adjusted EBITDA of $117.6 million
For the first quarter 2024, we reported net income of $22.7 million, compared to $28.0 million for the first quarter 2023. We reported total revenues for the first quarter 2024 of $605.7 million compared to $608.2 million for the first quarter 2023. We reported first quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of $117.6 million, compared to $130.9 million for the first quarter 2023.
George C. Zoley, Executive Chairman of GEO, said, "During the first quarter of 2024, our diversified business units continued to deliver strong operational and financial performance. We are pleased that our steady results and our multiyear strategy to deleverage our balance sheet successfully positioned GEO to refinance substantially all our debt. Our recent successful refinancing has lowered our average cost of debt and has given us greater flexibility to evaluate options to potentially return capital to shareholders. We remain focused on the disciplined allocation of capital to enhance long-term value for our shareholders."
Financial Guidance
Today, we updated our initial financial guidance for 2024. For the full year 2024, we expect Net Income to be in a range of $55 million to $75 million on annual revenues of approximately $2.4 billion and reflecting an effective tax rate of approximately 20 percent, inclusive of known discrete items. Our full-year 2024 guidance reflects an $86 million loss on extinguishment of debt, pre-tax, as a result of our refinancing transactions during the second quarter of 2024. We expect full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA to be between $485 million and $515 million.
For the second quarter of 2024, we expect a Net Loss in a range of $27 million to $30 million as a result of the $86 million loss on extinguishment of debt, pre-tax, during the second quarter of 2024. We expect second quarter 2024 revenues to be in a range of $600 million to $610 million. We expect second quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA to be in a range of $119 million to $125 million.
Recent Developments
On March 12, 2024, we announced that our wholly-owned subsidiary, GEO Transport, Inc. ("GTI") has been awarded a five-year contract, inclusive of option periods, to provide air operations support services on behalf of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE"), as a subcontractor to CSI Aviation, Inc. ("CSI Aviation") which has been selected by ICE as the prime contractor. CSI Aviation is a veteran-owned aviation services company, founded in 1979, with a long-standing record as a leading provider of aviation support services to the U.S. federal government. GTI first began providing air operations support services to ICE as a subcontractor to CSI Aviation, under a nine-month emergency contract starting in July of 2023. The new five-year contract is expected to generate approximately $25 million in annualized revenues for GEO.
Debt Refinancing
On April 18, 2024, we closed a private offering of $1.275 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, comprised of $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior secured notes due 2029 (the "Secured Notes") and $625.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.25% senior unsecured notes due 2031 (the "Unsecured Notes" and, together with the Secured Notes, the "Notes"), exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Notes are guaranteed by GEO's domestic subsidiaries that are guarantors under a new senior secured credit facility and outstanding senior notes. We also closed a new five-year $450.0 million Term Loan B (the "Term Loan"), bearing interest at SOFR plus 5.25%, under a new $760.0 million senior secured credit facility. The new senior secured credit facility also includes a five-year revolving line of credit for $310.0 million.
The offering of the Notes and the new Term Loan resulted in net proceeds of approximately $1.67 billion, after deducting the initial purchasers' discount and estimated expenses payable by GEO. We used the net proceeds of the offering of the Notes, borrowings under the new Term Loan, and cash on hand to refinance approximately $1.5 billion of existing indebtedness, including to fund the repurchase, redemption or other discharge of our Tranche 1 Term Loan and Tranche 2 Term Loan under our prior senior credit facility, the 9.50% senior second lien secured notes, the 10.50% senior second lien secured notes, and the 6.00% senior notes due 2026, to pay related premiums, transaction fees and expenses, and for general corporate purposes. On May 6, 2024, we also retired $177.1 million principal amount of the 6.50% exchangeable senior notes due 2026 issued by GEO Corrections Holdings, Inc., using $177.1 million in cash and approximately 9.8 million shares of GEO common stock.

Reconciliation Tables and Supplemental Information
GEO has made available Supplemental Information which contains reconciliation tables of Net Income Attributable to GEO to Adjusted Net Income, and Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, along with supplemental financial and operational information on GEO's business and other important operating metrics. The reconciliation tables are also presented herein. Please see the section below titled "Note to Reconciliation Tables and Supplemental Disclosure - Important Information on GEO's Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for information on how GEO defines these supplemental Non-GAAP financial measures and reconciles them to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. GEO's Reconciliation Tables can be found herein and in GEO's Supplemental Information available on GEO's investor webpage at investors.geogroup.com.
Note to Reconciliation Tables and Supplemental Disclosure - Important Information on GEO's Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that are presented as supplemental disclosures. GEO has presented herein certain forward-looking statements about GEO's future financial performance that include non-GAAP financial measures, including Net Debt, Net Leverage, and Adjusted EBITDA. The determination of the amounts that are included or excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts recognized in a given period.
While we have provided a high level reconciliation for the guidance ranges for full year 2024, we are unable to present a more detailed quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP measures. The quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures will be provided for completed annual and quarterly periods, as applicable, calculated in a consistent manner with the quantitative reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures previously reported for completed annual and quarterly periods.
Net Debt is defined as gross principal debt less cash from restricted subsidiaries. Net Leverage is defined as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA.
EBITDA is defined as net income adjusted by adding provisions for income tax, interest expense, net of interest income, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for net loss attributable to non-controlling interests, stock-based compensation expenses, pre-tax, start-up expenses, pre-tax, ATM equity program expenses, pre-tax, close-out expenses, pre-tax, other non-cash revenue and expenses, pre-tax, and certain other adjustments as defined from time to time.
Given the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are helpful to investors as measures of our operational performance because they provide an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general operating expenses, to make capital expenditures, and to fund other cash needs or reinvest cash into our business.
We believe that by removing the impact of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) and excluding certain non-cash charges, amounts spent on interest and taxes, and certain other charges that are highly variable from year to year, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide our investors with performance measures that reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, per diem rates and operating costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income.
The adjustments we make to derive the non-GAAP measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude items which may cause short-term fluctuations in income from continuing operations and which we do not consider to be the fundamental attributes or primary drivers of our business plan and they do not affect our overall long-term operating performance.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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.
Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income attributable to GEO adjusted for certain items which by their nature are not comparable from period to period or that tend to obscure GEO's actual operating performance, including for the periods presented loss on the extinguishment of debt, pre-tax, start-up expenses, pre-tax, ATM equity program expenses, pre-tax, close-out expenses, pre-tax, and tax effect of adjustments to net income attributable to GEO.
