Thanksgiving Dinner by the Numbers

 

Minnesota leads the nation in turkey production, while Wisconsin grows 59% of all cranberries. See how Thanksgiving dinner comes together from farms across the nation.


 

From mashed potatoes to green bean casserole to the centerpiece turkey, many of the components of a traditional Thanksgiving menu originate from American farms.

Here’s the government data behind Thanksgiving dinner. Unless otherwise noted, all the data is from the US Department of Agriculture.

Turkey

In 2020, farmers raised 224 million turkeys and produced 5.7 billion pounds of ready-to-cook turkey. That’s an average of 26 pounds of meat per bird. Last year, total turkey production was worth an estimated $5.1 billion.

 

 

Top states: Minnesota produced the most turkeys in 2020 at 40 million birds — or about 18% of the US total. Arkansas was second with 31 million, followed by North Carolina at 30 million.

Fun fact: Americans ate 16 pounds of turkey per person in 2020.

Sweet potatoes

In 2020, the US produced 3.4 billion pounds of sweet potatoes. Farmers sold $588 million worth of sweet potatoes.

 

 

Top states: North Carolina leads the nation in sweet potato farming, producing 1.9 billion pounds or about 55% of the crop grown in the US. California growers produced 887 million pounds or 26% of US sweet potato production.

Fun fact: Domestic sweet potato consumption has grown significantly since 2000: annual per capita availability, a measure used as a proxy for consumption, increased from 4.2 pounds in 2000 to 6.7 pounds in 2020.

Cranberries

In 2020, the US produced 7.8 million barrels of cranberries, down 1.1 million from the 2018 figure of 8.9 million barrels. Barrels can hold 100 pounds of cranberries.

 

 

Top states: This Thanksgiving mainstay is harvested from bogs covering 39,300 acres primarily in two states. In Wisconsin, farmers harvested 4.6 million barrels of cranberries in 2020, accounting for 59% of total production. Massachusetts farmers produced 2.1 million barrels of cranberries, accounting for 27% of all production.

Fun fact: The price of a barrel of cranberries is 47% lower from a high of $70.02 (adjusted to 2020 dollars) in 2008 to $37.30 in 2020.

Potatoes

In 2020, the US produced 47 billion pounds of potatoes. The value of all potatoes sold in 2020 was $3.7 billion, an 8% decrease from 2019.

 

 

Top states: Synonymous with potatoes, Idaho leads the nation in production, responsible for 32% of the nation’s output. Neighboring Washington is responsible for 24% of production.

Fun fact: Forty percent of potatoes were processed into frozen products, including french fries. About 24%, or 11.3 billion pounds of potatoes, remained as the fresh type that can be transformed into mashed potatoes.

Snap (or green) beans

In 2020, the US produced 1.7 billion pounds of snap beans. Eighteen percent of snap beans produced in the US are for fresh use, while the rest are processed by canning or freezing.

 

 

Top states: Wisconsin led all states in production in 2020 with 633 million pounds of snap beans. Five other states — New York, Michigan, Oregon, Florida, and Illinois — had production exceed 100 million pounds.

Fun fact: In terms of area harvested, snap beans were among the top three vegetables alongside sweet corn and tomatoes. In 2020, snap bean farms covered 185,200 acres. Sweet corn harvests covered 402,900 acres, while tomatoes covered 280,000 acres.

Pumpkins

In 2020, US farmers produced 1.5 billion pounds of pumpkins.

 

 

Top states: Production is dispersed throughout the US, with all states producing some pumpkins. In 2017 and based on weight, about 40% of pumpkin acres were harvested in the top six pumpkin-producing states. Illinois harvested 15,900 acres of pumpkins, more than twice the 7,000 acres harvested in second-place Pennsylvania.

Fun fact: The majority of Illinois’ pumpkin crop — 523 million pounds or 82% of the total — is processed as pie filling or other processed pumpkin products. By contrast, 0% of the pumpkin crop in California is processed. This difference is largely explained by differences in types of pumpkins grown in Illinois versus other states. According to the USDA, pumpkin growers in other states are geared more toward growing pumpkins for seasonal reasons such as Halloween.

TROY, Mich., Nov. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kelly® (Nasdaq: KELYAKELYB), a leading specialty talent solutions provider, today announced results for the third quarter of 2021.

Peter Quigley, president and chief executive officer, announced revenue for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $1.2 billion, a 15.1% increase compared to the corresponding quarter of 2020. Revenue improved year-over-year in the quarter reflecting increased customer demand compared to the COVID-19-impacted prior year period.

Earnings from operations in the third quarter of 2021 totaled $9.0 million, compared to a loss of $2.4 million reported in the third quarter of 2020. Included in the third quarter of 2020 was a $9.5 million charge related to a customer dispute in Mexico. On an adjusted basis, earnings from operations improved 25.9%.

Diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2021 were $0.87 compared to $0.42 per share in the third quarter of 2020. Included in the earnings per share is a non-cash gain per share, net of tax, on Kelly’s investment in Persol Holdings common stock of $0.62 in the third quarter of 2021 and $0.29 in the third quarter of 2020. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share were $0.25 in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $0.29 in the corresponding quarter of 2020.

“We’re pleased that all five of our specialty operating segments delivered organic year-over-year gains in the third quarter, contributing to solid revenue and GP dollar growth for the company,” said Quigley, who noted that Kelly has already begun taking actions to better leverage top-line growth heading into 2022. “Demand for our solutions is strong, and we’re finding innovative ways to connect talent and clients in a tight labor market. We’re confident that Kelly’s specialty strategy will continue to deliver top and bottom-line growth throughout the recovery and into the post-COVID environment.”

Kelly also reported that on November 10, its board of directors declared a dividend of $0.05 per share. The dividend is payable on December 8, 2021, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 24, 2021.

KELLY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)

Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the 2020 goodwill impairment charge, the 2021 and 2020 gains and losses on the investment in Persol Holdings, the 2020 gain on sale of assets, the 2020 customer dispute and the 2020 restructuring charges, are useful to understand the Company’s fiscal 2021 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that removing the impact of these items allows for a meaningful comparison of current period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods. Management also believes that such measures are used by those analyzing performance of companies in the staffing industry to compare current performance to prior periods and to assess future performance.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (percent of total GAAP revenue) which Management believes is useful to compare operating performance compared to prior periods and uses it in conjunction with GAAP measures to assess performance. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with similarly titled measures of other companies and should be used in conjunction with GAAP measurements.

These non-GAAP measures may have limitations as analytical tools because they exclude items which can have a material impact on cash flow and earnings per share. As a result, Management considers these measures, along with reported results, when it reviews and evaluates the Company’s financial performance. Management believes that these measures provide greater transparency to investors and provide insight into how Management is evaluating the Company’s financial performance. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(1) The goodwill impairment charge is the result of an interim impairment test the Company performed during the first quarter of 2020, due to a triggering event caused by a decline in the Company’s common stock price.

(2) The gains and losses on the investment in Persol Holdings represent the change in fair value of the investment during the period presented and the related tax expense and benefit.

(3) Gain on sale of assets in 2020 primarily represents the excess of the proceeds over the cost of the headquarters properties sold during the first quarter of 2020.

(4) Customer dispute represents a non-cash charge in Mexico to increase the reserve against a long-term receivable from a former customer based on an updated probability of loss assessment.

(5) Restructuring charges in 2020 and subsequent adjustments in 2021 represent severance costs and lease terminations in preparation for the new operating model adopted in the third quarter of 2020.

TROY, Mich., Nov. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kelly® (Nasdaq: KELYAKELYB), a leading specialty talent solutions provider, today announced results for the third quarter of 2021.

Peter Quigley, president and chief executive officer, announced revenue for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $1.2 billion, a 15.1% increase compared to the corresponding quarter of 2020. Revenue improved year-over-year in the quarter reflecting increased customer demand compared to the COVID-19-impacted prior year period.

Earnings from operations in the third quarter of 2021 totaled $9.0 million, compared to a loss of $2.4 million reported in the third quarter of 2020. Included in the third quarter of 2020 was a $9.5 million charge related to a customer dispute in Mexico. On an adjusted basis, earnings from operations improved 25.9%.

Diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2021 were $0.87 compared to $0.42 per share in the third quarter of 2020. Included in the earnings per share is a non-cash gain per share, net of tax, on Kelly’s investment in Persol Holdings common stock of $0.62 in the third quarter of 2021 and $0.29 in the third quarter of 2020. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share were $0.25 in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $0.29 in the corresponding quarter of 2020.

“We’re pleased that all five of our specialty operating segments delivered organic year-over-year gains in the third quarter, contributing to solid revenue and GP dollar growth for the company,” said Quigley, who noted that Kelly has already begun taking actions to better leverage top-line growth heading into 2022. “Demand for our solutions is strong, and we’re finding innovative ways to connect talent and clients in a tight labor market. We’re confident that Kelly’s specialty strategy will continue to deliver top and bottom-line growth throughout the recovery and into the post-COVID environment.”

Kelly also reported that on November 10, its board of directors declared a dividend of $0.05 per share. The dividend is payable on December 8, 2021, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 24, 2021.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)

Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the 2020 goodwill impairment charge, the 2021 and 2020 gains and losses on the investment in Persol Holdings, the 2020 gain on sale of assets, the 2020 customer dispute and the 2020 restructuring charges, are useful to understand the Company’s fiscal 2021 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that removing the impact of these items allows for a meaningful comparison of current period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods. Management also believes that such measures are used by those analyzing performance of companies in the staffing industry to compare current performance to prior periods and to assess future performance.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (percent of total GAAP revenue) which Management believes is useful to compare operating performance compared to prior periods and uses it in conjunction with GAAP measures to assess performance. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with similarly titled measures of other companies and should be used in conjunction with GAAP measurements.

These non-GAAP measures may have limitations as analytical tools because they exclude items which can have a material impact on cash flow and earnings per share. As a result, Management considers these measures, along with reported results, when it reviews and evaluates the Company’s financial performance. Management believes that these measures provide greater transparency to investors and provide insight into how Management is evaluating the Company’s financial performance. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(1) The goodwill impairment charge is the result of an interim impairment test the Company performed during the first quarter of 2020, due to a triggering event caused by a decline in the Company’s common stock price.

(2) The gains and losses on the investment in Persol Holdings represent the change in fair value of the investment during the period presented and the related tax expense and benefit.

(3) Gain on sale of assets in 2020 primarily represents the excess of the proceeds over the cost of the headquarters properties sold during the first quarter of 2020.

(4) Customer dispute represents a non-cash charge in Mexico to increase the reserve against a long-term receivable from a former customer based on an updated probability of loss assessment.

(5) Restructuring charges in 2020 and subsequent adjustments in 2021 represent severance costs and lease terminations in preparation for the new operating model adopted in the third quarter of 2020.

  • Issuance of $225.0 million of Unsecured Senior Notes
  • Leverage decreased to 2.7x

Damon T. Hininger, CoreCivic’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our cash flow generation remains strong despite the ongoing global pandemic and the unique challenges presented by the current employment market. We continue to execute on our capital allocation strategy with a priority of reducing debt, and enhancing our overall capital structure. During the third quarter we sufficiently reduced debt to fall within the high end of our targeted leverage ratio, and continue to make progress in obtaining the clarity needed to move to the next phase of our capital allocation strategy. Our capital allocation strategy continues to benefit our cost of borrowing, as shown with our recent $225 million unsecured bond issuance which priced nearly 100 basis points lower than the April 2021 issuance.

Hininger continued, “Our business is very durable, and continues to generate cash flow even during these unprecedented disruptions to the economy and criminal justice system. This resiliency is due to the essential nature of our facilities and services in our Safety and Community segments, further enhanced by the stability of our Properties segment, all supported by payments from highly rated federal, state, and local government agencies.”

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results Compared With Third Quarter 2020

Net income attributable to common stockholders in the third quarter of 2021 totaled $30.0 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared with net income attributable to common stockholders generated in the third quarter of 2020 of $26.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share. Adjusted for special items, net income in the third quarter of 2021 was $33.7 million, or $0.28 per diluted share (Adjusted Diluted EPS), compared with adjusted net income in the third quarter of 2020 of $34.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted share. Special items for each period are presented in detail in the calculation of Adjusted Diluted EPS following the financial statements presented herein. Financial results in 2021 reflect higher income tax expense following the revocation of our election to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) effective January 1, 2021. As a REIT, we were entitled to a deduction for dividends paid, which resulted in a significantly lower income tax expense in the prior year.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $95.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared with $87.8 million in the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the special items referred to above, was $100.9 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared with $94.6 million in the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA increased from the prior year quarter despite a $7.3 million reduction in facility EBITDA attributable to the 42 properties sold in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the five additional non-core real estate assets sold in the second quarter of 2021.  

Funds From Operations (FFO) was $54.9 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $53.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2020. Normalized FFO, which excludes the special items referred to above, was $58.6 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021, compared with $62.3 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2020. FFO and Normalized FFO were also impacted by our new corporate tax structure.

Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO, and, where appropriate, their corresponding per share amounts, are measures calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Please refer to the Supplemental Financial Information and related note following the financial statements herein for further discussion and reconciliations of these measures to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Business Updates

Notes Offering and Debt Reduction.   On September 29, 2021, we completed an underwritten registered tack-on offering of $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “Additional Notes”) at an issue price of 102.25% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued interest from the April 14, 2021 issue date for the $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “Original Notes”). The Additional Notes have an effective yield to maturity of 7.65%, nearly 100 basis points below the effective yield of the Original Notes.

We have made substantial progress in reducing debt, repaying $187.5 million of debt during the third quarter of 2021, net of the change in cash. During the third quarter of 2021, we fully repaid the $112.0 million outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility, which remains undrawn. Including the repayments of mortgage notes associated with the sale of non-core assets, we have reduced our net debt balance by over $500.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Subsequent to quarter-end, we repaid $90.0 million, or approximately 40%, of the outstanding balance on our Term Loan B using cash on hand. Using the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2021, our leverage, or net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, was 2.7x, falling within the high end of our targeted leverage of 2.25x to 2.75x, and down from 4.0x using the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2020.

New Lease Agreement with the State of New Mexico at the Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center. On September 21, 2021, we entered into a new three-year lease agreement with the State of New Mexico at the Company’s 596-bed Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center. We previously operated the Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center under a contract with New Mexico and transitioned facility operations to the New Mexico Corrections Department when the new lease agreement commenced on November 1, 2021. We will retain responsibility for facility maintenance throughout the term of the lease. The new lease agreement includes automatic extension options that could extend the term of the lease through October 31, 2041.

Financial Guidance

At this time we are not providing 2021 financial guidance because of uncertainties associated with COVID-19, including a resurgence caused by the Delta variant, as well as uncertainties associated with the application of the administration’s various executive actions and policies related to immigration and criminal justice. We currently expect to provide full year 2022 financial guidance in February 2022, when we expect to report our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2021.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. These include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties associated with: (i) changes in government policy (including the United States Department of Justice, or DOJ, not renewing contracts as a result of President Biden’s Executive Order on Reforming Our Incarceration System to Eliminate the Use of Privately Operated Criminal Detention Facilities, or the Private Prison EO) (two agencies of the DOJ, the United States Federal Bureau of Prisons and the United States Marshals Service utilize our services), legislation and regulations that affect utilization of the private sector for corrections, detention, and residential reentry services, in general, or our business, in particular, including, but not limited to, the continued utilization of our correctional and detention facilities by the federal government, and the impact of any changes to immigration reform and sentencing laws (our company does not, under longstanding policy, lobby for or against policies or legislation that would determine the basis for, or duration of, an individual’s incarceration or detention); (ii) our ability to obtain and maintain correctional, detention, and residential reentry facility management contracts because of reasons including, but not limited to, sufficient governmental appropriations, contract compliance, negative publicity and effects of inmate disturbances; (iii) changes in the privatization of the corrections and detention industry, the acceptance of our services, the timing of the opening of new facilities and the commencement of new management contracts (including the extent and pace at which new contracts are utilized), as well as our ability to utilize available beds; (iv) general economic and market conditions, including, but not limited to, the impact governmental budgets can have on our contract renewals and renegotiations, per diem rates, and occupancy; (v) fluctuations in our operating results because of, among other things, changes in occupancy levels, competition, contract renegotiations or terminations, increases in costs of operations, fluctuations in interest rates and risks of operations; (vi) the duration of the federal government’s denial of entry at the United States southern border to asylum-seekers and anyone crossing the southern border without proper documentation or authority in an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19; (vii) government and staff responses to staff or residents testing positive for COVID-19 within public and private correctional, detention and reentry facilities, including the facilities we operate; (viii)  restrictions associated with COVID-19 that disrupt the criminal justice system, along with government policies on prosecutions and newly ordered legal restrictions that affect the number of people placed in correctional, detention, and reentry facilities, including those associated with a resurgence of COVID-19; (ix) whether revoking our REIT election, effective January 1, 2021, and our revised capital allocation strategy can be implemented in a cost effective manner that provides the expected benefits, including facilitating our planned debt reduction initiative and planned return of capital to shareholders; (x) our ability to successfully identify and consummate future development and acquisition opportunities and our ability to successfully integrate the operations of our completed acquisitions and realize projected returns resulting therefrom; (xi) our ability, following our revocation of our REIT election, to identify and initiate service opportunities that were unavailable under the REIT structure; (xii) our ability to have met and maintained qualification for taxation as a REIT for the years we elected REIT status; and (xiii) the availability of debt and equity financing on terms that are favorable to us, or at all. Other factors that could cause operating and financial results to differ are described in the filings we make from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE TO SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO, and, where appropriate, their corresponding per share metrics are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that these measures are important operating measures that supplement discussion and analysis of the Company’s results of operations and are used to review and assess operating performance of the Company and its properties and their management teams. The Company believes that it is useful to provide investors, lenders and security analysts disclosures of its results of operations on the same basis that is used by management. FFO, in particular, is a widely accepted non-GAAP supplemental measure of performance of real estate companies, grounded in the standards for FFO established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT).

NAREIT defines FFO as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate and impairment of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Normalized FFO are useful as supplemental measures of performance of the Company’s properties because such measures do not take into account depreciation and amortization, or with respect to EBITDA, the impact of the Company’s tax provisions and financing strategies. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), this accounting presentation assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes at a level rate over time. Because of the unique structure, design and use of the Company’s properties, management believes that assessing performance of the Company’s properties without the impact of depreciation or amortization is useful. The Company may make adjustments to FFO from time to time for certain other income and expenses that it considers non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, even though such items may require cash settlement, because such items do not reflect a necessary or ordinary component of the ongoing operations of the Company.   Normalized FFO excludes the effects of such items. The Company calculates Adjusted Net Income by adding to GAAP Net Income expenses associated with the Company’s debt repayments and refinancing transactions, M&A activity, and certain impairments and other charges that the Company believes are unusual or non-recurring to provide an alternative measure of comparing operating performance for the periods presented. Even though expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions may be recurring, the magnitude and timing fluctuate based on the timing and scope of M&A activity, and therefore, such expenses, which are not a necessary component of the ongoing operations of the Company, may not be comparable from period to period.

Other companies may calculate Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO differently than the Company does, or adjust for other items, and therefore comparability may be limited. Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO and, where appropriate, their corresponding per share measures are not measures of performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of the Company’s operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. This data should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CoreCivic Reports Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results


CoreCivic Reports Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

 

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Nov. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CoreCivic, Inc. (NYSE: CXW) (the Company) announced today its financial results for the third quarter of 2021.

Financial Highlights – Third Quarter 2021

  • Total revenue of $471.2 million
    • CoreCivic Safety revenue of $431.5 million
    • CoreCivic Community revenue of $25.5 million
    • CoreCivic Properties revenue of $13.9 million
  • Diluted earnings per share of $0.25
  • Adjusted diluted EPS of $0.28
  • Normalized FFO per diluted share of $0.48
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $100.9 million
  • Issuance of $225.0 million of Unsecured Senior Notes
  • Leverage decreased to 2.7x

Damon T. Hininger, CoreCivic’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our cash flow generation remains strong despite the ongoing global pandemic and the unique challenges presented by the current employment market. We continue to execute on our capital allocation strategy with a priority of reducing debt, and enhancing our overall capital structure. During the third quarter we sufficiently reduced debt to fall within the high end of our targeted leverage ratio, and continue to make progress in obtaining the clarity needed to move to the next phase of our capital allocation strategy. Our capital allocation strategy continues to benefit our cost of borrowing, as shown with our recent $225 million unsecured bond issuance which priced nearly 100 basis points lower than the April 2021 issuance.

Hininger continued, “Our business is very durable, and continues to generate cash flow even during these unprecedented disruptions to the economy and criminal justice system. This resiliency is due to the essential nature of our facilities and services in our Safety and Community segments, further enhanced by the stability of our Properties segment, all supported by payments from highly rated federal, state, and local government agencies.”

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results Compared With Third Quarter 2020

Net income attributable to common stockholders in the third quarter of 2021 totaled $30.0 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared with net income attributable to common stockholders generated in the third quarter of 2020 of $26.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share. Adjusted for special items, net income in the third quarter of 2021 was $33.7 million, or $0.28 per diluted share (Adjusted Diluted EPS), compared with adjusted net income in the third quarter of 2020 of $34.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted share. Special items for each period are presented in detail in the calculation of Adjusted Diluted EPS following the financial statements presented herein. Financial results in 2021 reflect higher income tax expense following the revocation of our election to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) effective January 1, 2021. As a REIT, we were entitled to a deduction for dividends paid, which resulted in a significantly lower income tax expense in the prior year.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $95.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared with $87.8 million in the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the special items referred to above, was $100.9 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared with $94.6 million in the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA increased from the prior year quarter despite a $7.3 million reduction in facility EBITDA attributable to the 42 properties sold in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the five additional non-core real estate assets sold in the second quarter of 2021.  

Funds From Operations (FFO) was $54.9 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $53.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2020. Normalized FFO, which excludes the special items referred to above, was $58.6 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021, compared with $62.3 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2020. FFO and Normalized FFO were also impacted by our new corporate tax structure.

Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO, and, where appropriate, their corresponding per share amounts, are measures calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Please refer to the Supplemental Financial Information and related note following the financial statements herein for further discussion and reconciliations of these measures to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Business Updates

Notes Offering and Debt Reduction.   On September 29, 2021, we completed an underwritten registered tack-on offering of $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “Additional Notes”) at an issue price of 102.25% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued interest from the April 14, 2021 issue date for the $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “Original Notes”). The Additional Notes have an effective yield to maturity of 7.65%, nearly 100 basis points below the effective yield of the Original Notes.

We have made substantial progress in reducing debt, repaying $187.5 million of debt during the third quarter of 2021, net of the change in cash. During the third quarter of 2021, we fully repaid the $112.0 million outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility, which remains undrawn. Including the repayments of mortgage notes associated with the sale of non-core assets, we have reduced our net debt balance by over $500.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Subsequent to quarter-end, we repaid $90.0 million, or approximately 40%, of the outstanding balance on our Term Loan B using cash on hand. Using the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2021, our leverage, or net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, was 2.7x, falling within the high end of our targeted leverage of 2.25x to 2.75x, and down from 4.0x using the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2020.

New Lease Agreement with the State of New Mexico at the Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center. On September 21, 2021, we entered into a new three-year lease agreement with the State of New Mexico at the Company’s 596-bed Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center. We previously operated the Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center under a contract with New Mexico and transitioned facility operations to the New Mexico Corrections Department when the new lease agreement commenced on November 1, 2021. We will retain responsibility for facility maintenance throughout the term of the lease. The new lease agreement includes automatic extension options that could extend the term of the lease through October 31, 2041.

Financial Guidance

At this time we are not providing 2021 financial guidance because of uncertainties associated with COVID-19, including a resurgence caused by the Delta variant, as well as uncertainties associated with the application of the administration’s various executive actions and policies related to immigration and criminal justice. We currently expect to provide full year 2022 financial guidance in February 2022, when we expect to report our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2021.

NOTE TO SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO, and, where appropriate, their corresponding per share metrics are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that these measures are important operating measures that supplement discussion and analysis of the Company’s results of operations and are used to review and assess operating performance of the Company and its properties and their management teams. The Company believes that it is useful to provide investors, lenders and security analysts disclosures of its results of operations on the same basis that is used by management. FFO, in particular, is a widely accepted non-GAAP supplemental measure of performance of real estate companies, grounded in the standards for FFO established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT).

NAREIT defines FFO as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate and impairment of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Normalized FFO are useful as supplemental measures of performance of the Company’s properties because such measures do not take into account depreciation and amortization, or with respect to EBITDA, the impact of the Company’s tax provisions and financing strategies. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), this accounting presentation assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes at a level rate over time. Because of the unique structure, design and use of the Company’s properties, management believes that assessing performance of the Company’s properties without the impact of depreciation or amortization is useful. The Company may make adjustments to FFO from time to time for certain other income and expenses that it considers non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, even though such items may require cash settlement, because such items do not reflect a necessary or ordinary component of the ongoing operations of the Company.   Normalized FFO excludes the effects of such items. The Company calculates Adjusted Net Income by adding to GAAP Net Income expenses associated with the Company’s debt repayments and refinancing transactions, M&A activity, and certain impairments and other charges that the Company believes are unusual or non-recurring to provide an alternative measure of comparing operating performance for the periods presented. Even though expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions may be recurring, the magnitude and timing fluctuate based on the timing and scope of M&A activity, and therefore, such expenses, which are not a necessary component of the ongoing operations of the Company, may not be comparable from period to period.

Other companies may calculate Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO differently than the Company does, or adjust for other items, and therefore comparability may be limited. Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO and, where appropriate, their corresponding per share measures are not measures of performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of the Company’s operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. This data should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Recent Halloween Investment Strategy Results

Is the Halloween Investment Strategy a Trick or a Treat?

 

What Is the Halloween Strategy? Is it statistically reliable? What have the results been?

The directive, “Always remember to buy in November,” has a few different names; the Halloween effect, the Halloween indicator, are among the more common. It answers the question, If I sell in May and walk away, when do I come back? This is because the “Halloween Strategy” and the “Sell in May” strategies are related — they are different ways of suggesting the same action. The results should be identical.

What Is It?

The Halloween strategy is over a century old. Buying when October ends is essentially a market-timing strategy based on the thought that the overall stock market performs better between Oct. 31st (Halloween) and May 1st than it performs from May through the end of October. The directive suggests first that market timing yields better results than buy and hold. Secondly, it says the probability of better results compared to buying and holding is increased, over this period. Those who subscribe to this approach recommend not investing at all during the off “season.”

Evidence suggests this strategy does perform well over time, but despite many theories, there is no clear or agreed-upon reason. A famous study was done by Sven Bouman (AEGON Asset Mgmt.) and Ben Jacobsen (Erasmus University Rotterdam) and published in the American Economic Review, December 2002. The study documents the existence of a strong seasonal effect in stock returns based on the Halloween indicator. They found the “inherited wisdom” to be true globally and useful in 36 of the 37 developed and emerging markets they studied. They reported the Sell in May effect tends to be particularly strong in European countries and is amplified over time. Their sample evidence shows that in the UK the effect has been noticeable since 1694. They also reported, “While we have examined a number of possible explanations, none of these appears to explain the puzzle convincingly.”

Is it Reliable?

I didn’t go back as far as 1694 the way Sven and Ben did. And, I didn’t collect data from emerging and developed markets around the globe. More pertinent to Channelchek readers is whether this strategy used on the U.S. markets has been worthwhile. The evaluation of this is found below.

 

 

The above chart is a compilation of average results for two six-month periods, May through October and November through April. It also looks at two different indexes, the largest stocks in the S&P 500 (blues) index and smallcap stocks of the Russell 2000 (orange shades).

What was discovered is that during the period, investors in either of these indexes would have had positive earnings during either “season.” So it supports “buy and hold” wisdom or, at least, staying invested. During the Halloween through May period, the smallcap Russell returned 8.60% while during the other six months, performance was a weaker 2.92%. The S&P 500 maintained consistent averages in the low 5% area for either period.

 

What Have the Results Been?

Since the turn of the century, investors would have fared better if they bought stocks represented in the smallcap average, after Halloween, then moved to S&P 500 stocks in May. Below are the results of the 21 periods. The highest returns of either index occurred during the latest Halloween to May cycle. It was the smallcap index that measured a 45.76% gain. The index also measured the second-highest gain during the Sell in May 2004 measurement period. The Sell in May smallcap index also can claim the two lowest performance numbers.

 

 

Take-Away

The Halloween strategy says that investors should be fully invested in stocks from November through April, and out of stocks from May through October. Variations of this strategy and its accompanying axioms have been around for over a century. Looking at the last 21 years, a move from larger stocks to smaller may have been the move that could have paid off best as smallcaps after Halloween have outperformed over the past two decades.

Both “seasons,” for both measured indexes had positive average earnings. So the notion of staying fully invested is supported using recent data.
