Solid 4Q22 Operating Results. CoreCivic beat expectations for 4Q22. Reported revenue was $471.4 million, compared to $472.1 million in the year ago period and our estimate of $465 million. Reported net income was $24.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $28 million, or $0.23 per share, last year. We had forecast net income of $14.5 million, or $0.13 per share. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $87.7 million, compared to our $73.1 million estimate, and $103.2 million in 4Q21.
La Palma Normalizing, but Labor Remains a Challenge. CoreCivic substantially completed the transition of inmate populations at La Palma during the quarter, a positive. However, staffing remains a challenge, with temporary incentives, above average wage pressure, and travel costs, all impacting margin, which we anticipate will continue through at least the first quarter of 2023.
