The earnings call was predominantly positive, with record ICE detention populations driving significant revenue growth and improved financial guidance. Challenges such as legal delays at the Midwest Regional Reception Center and decreased income from Dilley were noted but outweighed by positive developments.

Company Guidance

During CoreCivic's second quarter 2025 earnings call, the company provided extensive guidance for the fiscal year, highlighting significant growth and future prospects. CoreCivic reported a total revenue increase of 9.8% from the second quarter of 2024 to the second quarter of 2025, with adjusted EBITDA rising by 23.2% to $103.3 million. The company also updated its full-year 2025 financial guidance, projecting adjusted diluted EPS between $1.07 and $1.14, normalized FFO per share from $1.99 to $2.07, and adjusted EBITDA between $365 million and $371 million. This guidance reflects the impact of ongoing facility reactivations and the acquisition of the Farmville Detention Center, which is expected to generate approximately $40 million in annual revenue. Furthermore, CoreCivic discussed the implications of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which allocates significant funding for federal detention capacity, suggesting a robust demand for its services in the near future.
