Assets Held For Sale and Dispositions

During the fourth quarter of 2023, CoreCivic completed the sale of its Augusta Transitional Center, located in Augusta, Georgia and reported in CoreCivic's Properties segment. The sale of the property generated net sales proceeds of $4.5 million and resulted in a gain on sale of $0.5 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2023. During the third quarter of 2023, CoreCivic sold a vacant parcel of land generating net sales proceeds of $0.5 million and resulting in a gain on sale of $0.4 million reported in the third quarter of 2023.

During the third quarter of 2022, CoreCivic began marketing for sale its Roth Hall Residential Reentry Center and the Walker Hall Residential Reentry Center, both located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and reported in CoreCivic's Properties segment. A purchase and sale agreement for these two Philadelphia properties was executed in March 2023. The properties were sold on May 2, 2023, generating net sales proceeds of $5.8 million, resulting in a loss on sale of $25,000, which was reported in the second quarter of 2023.

As of December 31, 2023, CoreCivic had a facility in its CoreCivic Community segment held for sale. The aggregate carrying value of the property and equipment of this facility, amounting to $7.5 million, was reflected as assets held for sale on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. The Company closed on the sale of this property in January 2024 for a gross sales price of $8.0 million.

On July 25, 2022, CoreCivic entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the Georgia Building Authority for the sale of CoreCivic's McRae Correctional Facility located in McRae, Georgia, and reported in CoreCivic's Safety segment, for a gross sales price of $130.0 million. The sale of the McRae facility was completed on August 9, 2022. The sale generated net proceeds of $129.7 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $77.5 million after transaction costs, which was reported in the third quarter of 2022. CoreCivic had a management contract with the BOP at the McRae facility, which expired on November 30, 2022 and was not renewed. In connection with the sale, CoreCivic and the Georgia Building Authority entered into an agreement to lease the McRae Correctional Facility to CoreCivic through November 30, 2022 to allow the Company to fulfill its obligations to the BOP.

In addition, during the full year 2022, CoreCivic completed the sales of three residential reentry centers in Oklahoma and Colorado and reported in CoreCivic's Community segment, two community corrections facilities leased to government agencies in California and reported in CoreCivic's Properties segment, and two undeveloped parcels of land. The sales of these seven properties generated aggregate net sales proceeds of $27.3 million, resulting in an aggregate net gain on sale of $9.9 million after transaction costs. Pursuant to the agreement to sell the Oklahoma property, in the third quarter of 2022, CoreCivic recognized an impairment charge of $3.5 million associated with the facility, based on its fair value less costs to sell.

During the full year 2021, CoreCivic completed the sale of five government-leased properties in the Company's Properties segment. The sales of the five properties generated aggregate net proceeds of $125.0 million, after the repayment of mortgage debt and other transaction-related costs, resulting in an aggregate net gain on sale of $38.7 million.

Financing Leasing Transactions

On January 24, 2018, CoreCivic entered into a 20-year lease agreement with the KDOC for a 2,432-bed correctional facility to be constructed by the Company in Lansing, Kansas. The new facility replaced the Lansing Correctional Facility, Kansas' largest correctional complex for adult male inmates, originally constructed in 1863. CoreCivic will be responsible for facility maintenance throughout the 20-year term of the lease, at which time ownership will revert to the state of Kansas. Construction of the facility commenced in the first quarter of 2018, and construction was completed in January 2020, at which time the lease commenced. CoreCivic accounts for the lease with the KDOC partially as a financing receivable under ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)", with the remaining portion of the lease payments attributable to maintenance services and capital expenditures as revenue streams under ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the financing receivable was $139.0 million and $142.2 million, respectively, recognized in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheet. During 2023 and 2022, the Lansing Correctional Facility generated $2.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of revenue associated with the non-lease services components of the arrangement, and $8.5 million and $8.7 million of interest income, respectively.

As of December 31, 2023, CoreCivic also had one idled non-core facility in its Safety segment containing 240 beds with an aggregate net book value of $2.8 million, and two idled facilities in its Community segment, containing an aggregate of 450 beds with an aggregate net book value of $3.4 million.

CoreCivic incurred operating expenses at these idled facilities of approximately $12.5 million, $9.7 million, and $7.6 million during the period they were idle for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The amount for 2021 excludes $2.2 million of operating expenses incurred at the West Tennessee Detention Facility during the fourth quarter of 2021. The amount for 2022 excludes $3.5 million of operating expenses incurred at the West Tennessee Detention Facility and the Midwest Regional Reception Center during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The West Tennessee facility was idled upon the expiration of a USMS contract on September 30, 2021, and the Midwest Regional Reception Center was idled upon the expiration of a USMS contract on December 31, 2021. CoreCivic retained a certain staffing level at both facilities through the first three months of 2022 in order to quickly respond in the event the Company was able to enter into new contracts with government agencies promptly following the contract expirations. The Company also continued to incur expenses related to transportation services provided by staff at the Midwest Regional Reception Center during the first three months of 2022.

On December 6, 2022, the Company received notice from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation ("CDCR") of its intent to terminate the lease agreement for the Company's California City Correctional Center by March 31, 2024, due to the state's declining inmate population. As part of its annual budget process for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, the California legislature approved funding for the lease through March 31, 2024. The Company has engaged with the state of California regarding the continued utilization of the California City facility by the CDCR. However, the Company can provide no assurance that it will be successful in reaching an agreement for the utilization of the facility beyond March 31, 2024. The Company is also marketing the facility to other potential customers.

The Company estimated undiscounted cash flows for each facility with an impairment indicator, including the idle facilities described above. The Company's estimated undiscounted cash flows reflect the Company’s most recent expectations around potential utilization and/or sale of the facilities and projected cash flows based on historical cash flows, cash flows of comparable facilities, and recent contract negotiations for utilization, as applicable. The Company concluded that the estimated undiscounted cash flows exceeded carrying values for each facility as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

CoreCivic evaluates on a quarterly basis market developments for the potential utilization of each of its idle properties in order to identify events that may cause CoreCivic to reconsider its assumptions with respect to the recoverability of book values as compared to undiscounted cash flows. CoreCivic considers the cancellation of a contract in its Safety or Community segment or an expiration and non-renewal of a lease agreement in its CoreCivic Properties segment as indicators of impairment and tests each of the idled properties for impairment when it is notified by the respective customers or tenants that they would no longer be utilizing such property.
