NEWS RELEASE
George C. Zoley, GEO’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Founder, said, “We are very pleased with our strong second quarter results and improved full year outlook. Our financial performance in the first half of 2026 has been driven by the new growth opportunities we captured in 2025 and are normalizing this year. Last year was the most successful period for new business wins in our company’s history, and we expect 2026 to continue to be very active as well. We remain focused on pursuing new growth opportunities and allocating capital to enhance long-term value for our shareholders, and we believe that our stock continues to offer a very attractive investment opportunity.”
Results for the First Six Months of 2026
For the first six months of 2026, we reported total revenues of $1.44 billion compared to $1.24 billion for the first six months of 2025, reflecting a 16 percent increase.
We reported net income attributable to GEO Operations for the first six months of 2026 of $85.8 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to GEO Operations of $48.7 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2025, reflecting a 76 percent increase in net income attributable to GEO Operations.
Results for the first six months of 2026 reflect $2.1 million, pre-tax, in combined loss on asset divestitures/impairment, start-up expenses, transaction fees, employee restructuring expenses, and close-out expenses. Excluding these items, we reported adjusted net income for the first six months of 2026 of $87.4 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, compared to $50.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2025.
We reported Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2026 of $273.4 million, compared to $218.4 million for the first six months of 2025, reflecting a 25 percent increase.
Operational Highlights
We entered into a five-year support services contract, effective July 9, 2026, with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) for the activation of a federal immigration processing center at the 1,188-bed Big Horn Facility in Hudson, Colorado, while also entering into a lease agreement with the Facility owner. The Big Horn Facility support services contract is expected to generate approximately $85 million in annual revenues in the first full year of operations.
We entered into a five-year support services contract, effective August 1, 2026, with ICE for the activation of a federal immigration processing center at our GEO-owned, 1,320-bed Rivers Facility in Winton, North Carolina. The Rivers Facility support services contract is expected to generate approximately $80 million in annual revenues in the first full year of operations.

NEWS RELEASE
Under both contracts, ICE will reimburse GEO for the capital expenditures needed to reactivate these two facilities, as well as provide funding for start-up expenses during the activation period. We expect the activation of the Big Horn Facility and Rivers Facility to be completed by the end of 2026, with both facilities expected to achieve normalized operations and earnings contribution in early 2027.
Financial Guidance
Today, we updated our financial guidance for the full year 2026 and issued our financial guidance for the third quarter 2026 and the fourth quarter 2026. We increased our full year 2026 Net Income Attributable to GEO Operations guidance to a range of $168 million to $175 million, or $1.27 to $1.32 per diluted share on annual revenues of $2.95 billion to $3.05 billion and based on an effective tax rate of approximately 30 percent, inclusive of known discrete items. We increased our full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $550 million to $560 million. We expect total unreimbursed Capital Expenditures for the full year 2026 to be between $135 million and $145 million.
For the third quarter 2026, we expect Net Income Attributable to GEO Operations to be in a range of $45 million to $48 million, or $0.35 to $0.37 per diluted share, on quarterly revenues of $755 million to $805 million. We expect third quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA to be between $140 million and $145 million. For the fourth quarter 2026, we expect Net Income Attributable to GEO Operations to be in a range of $37 million to $41 million, or $0.28 to $0.31 per diluted share, on quarterly revenues of $758 million to $808 million. We expect fourth quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA to be between $137 million and $142 million.
Our updated guidance does not include any earnings contribution from our new Big Horn and Rivers ICE contracts since we expect the activation period for these facilities to be completed by the end of 2026, achieving normalized earnings contribution in early 2027. Our updated guidance also does not include any earnings contribution from our previously announced managed-only contracts for the 1,884-bed Graceville Facility and the 985-bed Bay Facility in the State of Florida. These two managed-only contracts, which are valued at approximately $100 million in combined annual revenues, are now expected to transition to GEO on July 1, 2027.
We believe there are several sources of potential upside that are not currently included in our guidance. With respect to revenues, sources of potential upside include additional growth in our U.S. Secure Services segment from the reactivation of additional idle facilities and/or higher overall populations across our active facilities; additional volume increases and/or accelerated technology and service mix shift in our Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (“ISAP”) contract; additional growth in our secure transportation services business; and additional revenue from higher utilization of our skip tracing services contract. With respect to expenses, our guidance assumes a more moderate contribution from labor cost savings for the second half of 2026.

Balance Sheet
At the end of the second quarter 2026, we had approximately $55 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $1.54 billion in total debt, resulting in total net debt of approximately $1.5 billion and total net leverage below 3 times Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 12 months.

The authorization for the share repurchase program may be extended, increased, decreased, suspended or terminated by our Board of Directors in its discretion at any time.

Reconciliation Tables and Supplemental Information
GEO has made available Supplemental Information which contains reconciliation tables of Net Income Attributable to GEO Operations to Adjusted Net Income, and Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, along with supplemental financial and operational information on GEO’s business and other important operating metrics. The reconciliation tables are also presented herein. Please see the section below titled “Note to Reconciliation Tables and Supplemental Disclosure - Important Information on GEO’s Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for information on how GEO defines these supplemental Non-GAAP financial measures and reconciles them to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. GEO’s Reconciliation Tables can be found herein and in GEO’s Supplemental Information available on GEO’s investor webpage at investors.geogroup.com.
Note to Reconciliation Tables and Supplemental Disclosure -
Important Information on GEO’s Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Forward-looking statements notice
Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that are presented as supplemental disclosures. GEO has presented herein certain forward-looking statements about GEO’s future financial performance that include non-GAAP financial measures, including Net Debt, Net Leverage, and Adjusted EBITDA. The determination of the amounts that are included or excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts recognized in a given period. While we have provided a high level reconciliation for the guidance ranges for full year 2026, we are unable to present a more detailed quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP measures. The quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures will be provided for completed annual and quarterly periods, as applicable, calculated in a consistent manner with the quantitative reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures previously reported for completed annual and quarterly periods.

NEWS RELEASE
Net Debt is defined as gross principal debt less cash on hand. Net Leverage is defined as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA.
EBITDA is defined as net income adjusted by adding provisions for income tax, interest expense, net of interest income, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for loss on asset divestitures/impairment, pre-tax, net loss attributable to non-controlling interests, stock-based compensation expenses, pre-tax, litigation costs and settlements, pre-tax, start-up expenses, pre-tax, transaction fees, pre-tax, employee restructuring expenses, pre-tax, close-out expenses, pre-tax, other non-cash revenue and expenses, pre-tax, and certain other adjustments as defined from time to time. Given the nature of our business as a real estate owner and support services provider, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are helpful to investors as measures of our operational performance because they provide an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to satisfy general operating expenses, to make capital expenditures, and to fund other cash needs or reinvest cash into our business.
We believe that by removing the impact of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) and excluding certain non-cash charges, amounts spent on interest and taxes, and certain other charges that are highly variable from year to year, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide our investors with performance measures that reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, per diem rates and operating costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The adjustments we make to derive the non-GAAP measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude items which may cause short-term fluctuations in income from continuing operations and which we do not consider to be the fundamental attributes or primary drivers of our business plan and they do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide disclosure on the same basis as that used by our management and provide consistency in our financial reporting, facilitate internal and external comparisons of our historical operating performance and our business units and provide continuity to investors for comparability purposes.
Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income attributable to GEO operations adjusted for certain items which by their nature are not comparable from period to period or that tend to obscure GEO’s actual operating performance, including for the periods presented loss on asset divestitures/impairment, pre-tax, loss on extinguishment of debt, pre-tax, litigation costs and settlements, pre-tax, start-up expenses, pre-tax, transaction fees, pre-tax, employee restructuring expenses, pre-tax, close-out expenses, pre-tax, and tax effect of adjustments to net income attributable to GEO operations.
