Opportunity, Opportunity, Opportunity. With the change in Administration and new Congress, CoreCivic is anticipating significant growth opportunities, possibly the most significant growth in the Company’s history, over the next several years. We believe the Company is exceptionally well positioned operationally and financially to meet this expected sharp increase in demand for its services.

Potential. Management has put forth a proposal to ICE for 28,000 beds. If accepted, such a proposal could be worth about $1.5 billion in revenue. Just adding in approximately 15,000 beds from existing idle facilities and the South Texas facility could add $750-$800 million of revenue and some $200-$275 million of adjusted EBITDA. Current proposals by the Administration and Congress support such growth, although funding will be key.
