BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for the unaudited interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year. Reference is made to the audited financial statements of CoreCivic included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 18, 2022 (the "2021 Form 10-K") with respect to certain significant accounting and financial reporting policies as well as other pertinent information of the Company.

Risks and Uncertainties

On January 26, 2021, President Biden issued the Executive Order on Reforming Our Incarceration System to Eliminate the Use of Privately Operated Criminal Detention Facilities ("Private Prison EO"). The Private Prison EO directs the Attorney General to not renew United States Department of Justice ("DOJ") contracts with privately operated criminal detention facilities. Two agencies of the DOJ, the United States Marshals Service ("USMS") and the Federal Bureau of Prisons ("BOP"), utilize CoreCivic's services. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facilities are not covered by the Private Prison EO, as ICE is an agency of the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS"), not the DOJ, although it is possible that the federal government could choose to take similar action on ICE facilities in the future. CoreCivic currently has two detention facilities that have direct contracts with the USMS that expire in September 2023 and September 2025. The facility with the contract expiring in September 2023 services a substantial number of USMS detainees that the Company believes will be challenging to replace, and the Company intends to work with the USMS to enable it to continue to fulfill its mission. However, the Company can provide no assurance that this contract will be renewed or replaced upon expiration. It is too early to predict the outcome of the expiration of the contract scheduled to expire in September 2025, and future developments could occur prior to the scheduled expiration date.

As a result of the Private Prison EO, the Company expects that CoreCivic's management contract with the BOP at the McRae Correctional Facility will not be renewed when it expires in November 2022. As further described in Note 4, the Company completed the sale of the McRae facility in August 2022 to the Georgia Building Authority, and entered into an agreement to lease the facility through November 2022 to allow the Company to fulfill its obligations to the BOP. During 2021, the Company had four direct contracts with the USMS that expired and were not renewed. At one of these facilities, the Company entered into a new contract with a local government agency to utilize the beds previously contracted by the USMS. The local government agency is responsible for County inmates and federal detainees, including USMS detainees, and the County is using the facility to address its population needs. At another of these facilities, the Company expanded a state contract to utilize the beds previously contracted by the USMS. The remaining two facilities currently remain idle. The USMS and the BOP prison contracts accounted for 22% and 2%, respectively, of CoreCivic's total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 23% and 2%, respectively, of CoreCivic's total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the SEC applicable to financial statements beginning January 1, 2022 or later did not, or are not expected to, have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

To meet the reporting requirements of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 825, "Financial Instruments", regarding fair value of financial instruments, CoreCivic calculates the estimated fair value of financial instruments using market interest rates, quoted market prices of similar instruments, or discounted cash flow techniques with observable Level 1 inputs for publicly traded debt and Level 2 inputs for all other financial instruments, as defined in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement". At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no material differences between the carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of CoreCivic's financial instruments, other than as follows (in thousands):


	September 30, 2022						December 31, 2021
	Carrying Amount			Fair Value			Carrying Amount			Fair Value
Note receivable from Agecroft Prison Management, LTD	$	2,524		$	2,833		$	3,063		$	3,491
Debt	$	(1,307,109	)	$	(1,255,224	)	$	(1,551,932	)	$	(1,560,346	)
