The GEO Group, Inc., a Florida corporation, and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “GEO”) is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in the ownership, leasing and management of secure facilities, processing centers and community reentry centers in the United States, Australia, South Africa and the United Kingdom. The Company owns, leases and operates a broad range of facilities including maximum, medium and minimum security facilities, processing centers, as well as community-based reentry facilities and offers an expanded delivery of rehabilitation services under its 'GEO Continuum of Care' platform. The 'GEO Continuum of Care' program integrates enhanced rehabilitative programs, which are evidence-based and include cognitive behavioral treatment and post-release services, and provides academic and vocational classes in life skills and treatment programs while helping individuals reintegrate into their communities. The Company develops new facilities based on contract awards, using its project development expertise and experience to design, construct and finance what it believes are state-of-the-art facilities that maximize security and efficiency. The Company provides innovative compliance technologies, industry-leading monitoring services, and evidence-based supervision and treatment programs for community-based parolees, probationers and pretrial defendants. The Company also provides secure transportation services for individuals as contracted domestically and in the United Kingdom through its joint venture GEO Amey PECS Ltd. (“GEOAmey”). At ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company’s worldwide operations include the management and/or ownership of approximately ~~93,000~~92,000 beds at ~~125~~116 facilities, including idle facilities, projects under development and recently awarded contracts, and also include the provision of community supervision services for more than 210,000 individuals, including ~~approximately~~over 100,000 through an array of technology products including radio frequency, GPS, and alcohol monitoring devices.

The Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the instructions to Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all disclosures required by Form 10-K. The accounting policies followed for quarterly financial reporting are the same as those disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February ~~26, 2020~~16, 2021 for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The accompanying December 31, ~~2019~~2020 consolidated balance sheet has been derived from those audited financial statements. Additional information may be obtained by referring to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the interim periods reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been made. Results of operations for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, or for any other future interim or annual periods.

On January 26, 2021, President Biden signed an executive order directing the United States Attorney General not to renew Department of Justice (“DOJ”) contracts with privately operated criminal detention facilities, as consistent with applicable law (the “Executive Order”). Two agencies of the DOJ, the Bureau of Prisons “(BOP”) and U.S. Marshals Service (“USMS”), utilize GEO’s services. The BOP houses inmates who have been convicted of federal crimes, and the USMS is generally responsible for detainees who are awaiting trial or sentencing in U.S. federal courts. GEO’s contracts with the BOP for its company-owned 1,940-bed Great Plains Correctional Facility, company-owned 1,732-bed Big Spring Correctional Facility, company-owned 1,800-bed Flightline Correctional Facility, and company-owned 1,800-bed North Lake Correctional Facility have renewal option periods that expire on May 31, 2021, November 30, 2021, November 30, 2021, and September 30, 2022, respectively. Additionally, the contracts with the BOP for the county owned and managed 1,800-bed Reeves County Detention Center I & II and the 1,376-bed Reeves County Detention Center III have renewal option periods that expire September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company has a management agreement with Reeves County, Texas for the management oversight of these two county-owned facilities. In total, the Great Plains, Big Spring, Flightline, North Lake Correctional Facilities, Reeves County Detention Center I & II and Reeves County Detention Center III generated approximately $145 million in revenues during the year ended December 31, 2020. The BOP has experienced a decline in federal prison populations over the last several years, a trend that has more recently been accelerated by the COVID-19 global pandemic. As a result of the Executive Order and the decline in federal prison populations, the above described contracts with the BOP may not be renewed over the coming years. On March 5, 2021, the Company was notified by the BOP that it has decided to not exercise its contract renewal option for the company-owned, 1,940-bed Great Plains Correctional Facility in Oklahoma, when the contract base period expires on May 31, 2021. On March 25, 2021 the Company was notified that the BOP will terminate its contract with the county-owned and managed Reeves I & II effective May 10, 2021. On March 15, 2021, the Company announced that the USMS has decided to not exercise the contract renewal option for its company-owned, 222-bed Queens Detention Facility in New York, when the contract base period ended on March 31, 2021.

On April 7, 2021, GEO announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) had immediately suspended GEO’s quarterly dividend payments with the goal of maximizing the use of cash flows to repay debt, deleverage and internally fund growth. While GEO currently intends to maintain its corporate tax structure as a REIT, the Board is evaluating GEO’s corporate tax structure as a REIT. The Board’s evaluation of the current corporate tax structure and GEO’s REIT status is expected to take into consideration, among other factors, potential changes to GEO’s financial operating performance, as well as, potential changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) applicable to U.S. corporations and REITs. As a part of this evaluation, GEO has engaged financial advisors and legal advisors to assist in evaluating various capital structure alternatives. The Board expects to conclude its evaluation in the fourth quarter of 2021, and should the Board determine to maintain GEO’s REIT status, an additional dividend payment may be required before year-end in order to meet the minimum REIT distribution requirements under the Code.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, now known as COVID-19 (“COVID-19”), was reported in Wuhan, China and has since extensively impacted the global health and economic environment. In January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. On February 28, 2020, the WHO raised its assessment of the COVID-19 threat from high to very high at a global level due to the continued increase in the number of cases and affected countries, and on March 11, 2020, the WHO characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic.

The Company has been closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business and geographies, including how it will impact those entrusted into its care and governmental partners. ~~The~~During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company did incur ~~significant~~ disruptions ~~during the six months ended June 30, 2020~~ from the COVID-19 pandemic ~~and,~~but, it is unable to predict the overall future impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous ~~uncertainties.~~

~~The~~uncertainties related to the pandemic.The COVID-19 pandemic and related government-imposed mandatory closures, the efficacy and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, shelter in-place restrictions and social distancing protocols and increased expenditures on engineering controls, personal protective equipment, diagnostic testing, medical expenses, temperature scanners, protective plexiglass barriers and increased sanitation have had, and will continue to have, a severe impact on global economic conditions and the environment in which the Company operates. Starting in ~~late March and~~ early ~~April,~~2020, the Company began to observe negative impacts from the pandemic on its performance in its secure services business, specifically with its U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) Processing Centers and U.S. Marshals Facilities, as a result of declines in crossings and apprehensions along the Southwest border and a decrease in court sentencing at the federal level. Various governmental agencies have also taken steps to decrease the number of those in custody to adhere to social distancing protocols. Additionally, ~~its~~the Company’s reentry services business conducted through its GEO Care business segment has also been negatively impacted, specifically its residential reentry centers and non-residential day reporting programs were impacted by declines in programs due to lower levels of referrals by federal, state and local agencies. Additionally, the Company has experienced the transmission of COVID-19 among detainees and staff at most of its facilities during ~~the first two quarters of~~ 2020 and continuing into ~~the third quarter of 2020.~~2021. If the Company is unable to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19 at its facilities it could experience a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Although the Company is unable to predict the duration or scope of the COVID-19 pandemic or estimate the extent of the negative financial impact to its operating results, an extended period of depressed economic activity necessitated to combating the disease, and the severity and duration of the related global economic crisis may adversely impact its future financial performance.

The Company has recorded goodwill as a result of its various business combinations. Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the tangible assets and intangible assets acquired net of

liabilities assumed, including noncontrolling interests. Changes in the Company's goodwill balances from January 1, ~~2020~~2021 to ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 are as follows (in thousands):

[1] Net of accumulated loss on impairment of $21.1 million related to the Community Based reporting unit for an impairment charge incurred during the fourth quarter of 2020.

As previously discussed in Note 1 – Basis of Presentation, on January 26, 2021, President Biden signed an Executive Order directing the United States Attorney General not to renew DOJ contracts with privately operated criminal detention facilities, as consistent with applicable law. The exact details regarding the timing scope and impacts of this plan is unknown, and uncertainties exist about the capacity of other DOJ facilities to absorb the populations which are currently housed in public-private partnerships. The Company considered the issuance of the Executive Order to be a “triggering event” that requires certain quantitative testing for potential impairment of goodwill for its U.S. Secure Services reporting unit.

The quantitative testing performed during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 resulted in 0 impairment in the goodwill of the U.S. Secure Services reporting unit. The carrying value of the U.S. Secure Services reporting unit is all of the goodwill in the U.S. Secure Services segment in the table above. The calculated fair value of the U.S. Secure Services reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. The percentage that the fair value exceeded the carrying value was approximately 6%. The Company used a third-party valuation firm to determine the estimated fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model which is dependent on several significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future cash flows and the weighted average cost of capital, among other factors. A discount rate of 10% was utilized to adjust the cash flow forecasts based on the Company’s estimate of a market participant’s weighted-average cost of capital. Growth rates for sales, profits and other assumptions were determined using inputs from the Company’s long-term planning process. The Company also makes estimates for discount rates and other factors based on market conditions, historical experience and other economic factors. Additionally, management made certain assumptions relating to future re-activations and sales of certain idle facilities, including those where the BOP and USMS have recently notified the Company of its intention not to exercise upcoming renewal options and/or not to rebid contracts with upcoming contract expirations, A change in one or a combination of these assumptions could significantly impact the fair value of the reporting unit. For example, a 1% increase in the discount rate would cause the carrying value to exceed the fair value and trigger an impairment of approximately $76 million or 24% of the goodwill balance at March 31 2021 in the U.S. Secure Services reporting unit. Conversely, a 1% decrease in the discount rate would increase the percentage that the fair value exceeded the carrying value to 22%.

Future impairment charges may be required on the Company’s goodwill, as the discounted cash flow model is subject to change based upon the Company’s performance, overall market conditions, the state of the credit markets and political environment. The Company will continue to monitor these relevant factors to determine if an additional interim impairment assessment is warranted.If there were to be a deterioration in management’s forecasted financial performance, an increase in discount rates or a reduction in long-term growth rates, these factors could all be potential indicators of an impairment charge to our remaining goodwill, which could be material, in future periods.

The Company has also recorded other finite and indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of its various business combinations. The Company's intangible assets include facility management contracts, covenants not to compete, trade names and technology, as follows (in thousands):

Amortization expense was ~~$11.2~~$5.3 million and $5.6 million for ~~each of~~ the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively. Amortization expense was primarily related to the ~~GEO~~U.S Secure Services and GEO Care segments' amortization of acquired facility management contracts. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the weighted average period before the next contract renewal or extension for the acquired facility management contracts was approximately ~~1.9~~2.1 years. Although the facility management contracts acquired have renewal and extension terms in the near term, the Company has historically maintained these relationships beyond the current contractual periods.

The Company’s Level 2 financial instruments included in the tables above as of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 consist of interest rate swap derivative liabilities held by GEO, the Company's rabbi trust established for a GEO employee and employer contributions to The GEO Group, Inc. Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan and an investment in Canadian dollar denominated fixed income securities. On May 22, 2019, the Company terminated the interest rate swap derivative liabilities in connection with a debt refinancing transaction by our Australian subsidiary. Refer to Note 9 - Derivative Financial Instruments and Note 10 - Debt for additional information.

The interest rate swap derivative liabilities are valued using a discounted cash flow model based on projected borrowing rates. The Company's restricted investment in the rabbi trust is invested in Company-owned life insurance policies which are recorded at their cash surrender values. These investments are valued based on the underlying investments held in the policies' separate account. The underlying assets are equity and fixed income pooled funds that are comprised of Level 1 and Level 2 securities. The Canadian dollar denominated securities, not actively traded, are valued using quoted rates for these and similar securities.

The Company’s consolidated balance sheets reflect certain financial assets and liabilities at carrying value. The carrying value of certain debt instruments, if applicable, is net of unamortized discount.

The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and investments approximates the carrying values of these assets at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Restricted cash consists of money market funds, bank deposits, commercial paper and time deposits used for asset replacement funds and other funds contractually required to be maintained at the Company's Australian subsidiary. The fair value of the money market funds and bank deposits is based on quoted market prices (Level 1) and the fair value of commercial paper and time deposits is based on market prices for similar instruments (Level 2).

The fair values of the Company's 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2022 ("5.875% Senior Notes due 2022"), 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2024 ("5.875% Senior Notes due 2024"), 6.00% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (“6.00% Senior Notes”), ~~and~~ the 5.125% senior unsecured notes due 2023 ("5.125% Senior Notes"), and the 6.50% exchangeable senior unsecured notes due 2026 (“Convertible Notes” or “6.50% Exchangeable Notes due 2026”) although not actively traded, are based on published financial data for these instruments. On February 25, 2021, the Company completed a private offering of $230 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% exchangeable senior unsecured notes due 2026. The Company used the net proceeds from this offering to fund the redemption of the then outstanding amount of the Company’s 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022. Refer to Note 10 – Debt for further information. The fair values of the Company's non-recourse debt related to the Washington Economic Development Finance Authority ("WEDFA") and the Company’s Australian subsidiary are estimated based on market prices of similar instruments. The fair value of borrowings under the senior credit facility is based on an estimate of trading value considering the Company’s borrowing rate, the undrawn spread and similar instruments.

As a REIT, GEO is required to distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gain) and began paying regular quarterly REIT dividends in 2013. The amount, timing and frequency of future dividends, however, will be at the sole discretion of GEO's Board ~~of Directors (the "Board”)~~ and will be declared based upon various factors, many of which are beyond GEO's control, including, GEO's financial condition and operating cash flows, the amount required to maintain REIT status, limitations on distributions in GEO's existing and future debt instruments, limitations on GEO's ability to fund distributions using cash generated through GEO's taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs") and other factors that GEO's Board may deem relevant. On April 7, 2021, GEO’s Board immediately suspended GEO’s quarterly dividend payments. Refer to Note 15 – Subsequent Events for further information.

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, GEO declared and paid the following regular cash distributions to its shareholders as follows:

On February 14, 2018, the Company announced that its Board authorized a stock buyback program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to a maximum of $200.0 million of its shares of common stock. The stock buyback program ~~will~~was to be funded primarily with cash on hand, free cash flow and borrowings under the Company's $900.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"). The program iswas effective through October 20, 2020. The stock buyback program iswas intended to be implemented through purchases made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") requirements. The stock buyback program ~~does~~did not obligate the Company to purchase any specific amount of the Company's common stock and ~~may be~~could have been suspended or extended at any time at the discretion of the Company's Board. The Company repurchased 553,665 shares of its common stock under the program during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Refer to Note 13 – Benefit Plans for further information. The Company believes it has the ability to continue to fund the stock buyback program, its debt service requirements and its maintenance and growth capital expenditure requirements, while maintaining sufficient liquidity for other corporate purposes.

On October ~~20, 2017,~~30, 2020, the Company filed ~~with the SEC~~ an automatic shelf registration on Form ~~S-3. Under this shelf registration,~~S-3 with the SEC that enables the Company ~~may,~~to offer for sale, from time to time ~~sell any combination~~and as the capital markets permit, an unspecified amount of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, ~~described in the prospectus in one or more offerings.~~guarantees of debt securities, warrants and units. Each time ~~that~~ the Company offers to sell securities, the Company will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering and the securities being offered. ~~On November 9, 2017, in connection with the~~The shelf registration ~~the Company filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement related to the offer~~statement became automatically effective upon filing and sale from time to time of the Company’s common stock at an aggregate offering price of up to $150 million through sales agents. Sales of shares of the Company’s common stock under the prospectus supplement and the equity distribution agreements entered into with the sales agents, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933. There were 0 shares of common stock sold under this prospectus supplement during the six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.

Comprehensive income (loss) represents the change in shareholders' equity from transactions and other events and circumstances arising from non-shareholder sources. The Company's total comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income attributable to GEO, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, foreign currency translation adjustments that arise from consolidating foreign operations that do not impact cash flows, net unrealized gains and/or losses on derivative instruments, and pension liability adjustments within shareholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss).

The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to GEO within shareholders' equity are as follows:

The Board adopted The GEO Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2018 Amended and Restated Plan"), which was approved by the Company's shareholders on April ~~24, 2018.~~28, 2021. The 2018 Amended and Restated Plan ~~replaced~~supersedes the ~~2014~~previous 2018 Stock Incentive ~~Plan (the "2014 Plan").~~Plan. As of the date the 2018 Amended and Restated Plan was adopted, it provided for a reserve of ~~4,600,000~~an additional 16,800,000 shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2018 Amended and Restated Plan. ~~The Company filed a Form S-8 registration statement related to the 2018 Plan on May 11, 2018.~~

The Company uses a Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of each time-based or performance-based option awarded. For options granted during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the fair value was estimated using the following assumptions: (i) volatility of ~~41.41%~~43.28%; (ii) expected term of ~~5.0~~5 years; (iii) risk free interest rate of ~~1.79%~~0.24%; and (iv) expected dividend yield of ~~13.11%~~13.30%. A summary of the activity of stock option awards issued and outstanding under Company plans was as follows for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020:~~March 31, 2021:

On March 1, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company granted approximately ~~480,000~~477,000 options to certain employees which had a per share grant date fair value of ~~$1.59.~~$0.79. For the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ the amount of stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was ~~$0.6~~$0.2 million and ~~$0.5~~$0.3 million, respectively. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company had ~~$2.0~~$1.7 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock option awards that are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years.

Compensation expense for nonvested stock awards is recorded over the vesting period based on the fair value at the date of grant. Generally, the restricted stock awards vest in equal increments over either a three or four-year period. The fair value of restricted stock awards, which do not contain a market-based vesting condition, is determined using the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The Company has historically issued share-based awards with service-based, performance-based and market-based vesting criteria.

A summary of the activity of restricted stock outstanding is as follows for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020:~~March 31, 2021:

On March 1, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company granted approximately ~~900,000~~1,248,000 shares of restricted stock to certain employees and executive officers. Of these awards, ~~360,000~~644,000 are market and performance-based awards which will be forfeited if the Company does not achieve certain annual metrics during ~~2020,~~ 2021, 2022 and ~~2022.~~2023.

The vesting of these performance-based restricted stock grants are subject to the achievement by GEO of 2 annual performance metrics as follows: (i) up to 50% of the shares of restricted stock ("TSR Target Award") can vest at the end of a three year performance period if GEO meets certain total shareholder return ("TSR") performance targets, as compared to the total shareholder return of a peer group of companies, over a three year period from January 1, ~~2020~~2021 to December 31, ~~2022~~2023 and (ii) up to 50% of the shares of restricted stock ("ROCE Target Award") can vest at the end of a three year period if GEO meets certain return on capital employed ("ROCE") performance targets over a three year period from January 1, ~~2020~~2021 to December 31, ~~2022.~~2023. These market and performance awards can vest at between 0% and 200% of the target awards for both metrics. The number of shares shown for the performance-based awards is based on the target awards for both metrics.

The metric related to ROCE is considered to be a performance condition. For share-based awards that contain a performance condition, the achievement of the targets must be probable before any share-based compensation expense is recorded. The Company reviews the likelihood of which ~~the~~ target in the range will be achieved and if deemed probable, compensation expense is recorded at that time. If subsequent to initial measurement there is a change in the estimate of the probability of meeting the performance condition, the effect of the change in the estimated quantity of awards expected to vest is recognized by cumulatively adjusting compensation expense. If ultimately the performance targets are not met, for any awards where vesting was previously deemed probable, previously recognized compensation expense will be reversed in the period in which vesting is no longer deemed probable. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.

The metric related to TSR is considered to be a market condition. For share-based awards that contain a market condition, the probability of satisfying the market condition must be considered in the estimate of grant-date fair value and previously recorded compensation expense is not reversed if the market condition is never met. The fair value of these awards was determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation, which calculates a range of possible outcomes and the probabilities that they will occur, using the following key assumptions: (i) volatility of ~~30.3%~~46.9%; (ii) beta of ~~1.1;~~0.79; and (iii) risk free rate of ~~0.85%~~0.24%.

For the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ the Company recognized ~~$13.9~~$7.2 million and ~~$11.6~~$9.5 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to its restricted stock awards. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company had ~~$31.4~~$27.2 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested restricted stock awards, including non-vested restricted stock awards with performance-based and market-based vesting, that are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of ~~2.6~~2.5 years.

The Company previously adopted The GEO Group Inc. 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan or "ESPP”) effective July 9, 2011. The Company has since amended and restated the Plan (the “Amended ESPP”) which was approved by the ~~Company's shareholders.~~Company’s shareholders on April 28, 2021 and will become effective on July 9, 2021. The purpose of the ~~Plan,~~Amended ESPP, which is qualified under Section 423 of the ~~Internal Revenue Service~~ Code ~~of 1986, as amended,~~ is to encourage stock ownership through payroll deductions by the employees of GEO and designated subsidiaries of GEO in order to increase their identification with the Company’s goals and secure a proprietary interest in the Company’s success. These deductions are used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a 5% discount from the then current market price. The ~~Company has made available up to 750,000~~maximum number of shares of ~~its~~ common stock ~~which were registered with~~reserved for issuance over the ~~SEC~~term of the Amended ESPP on ~~May 4, 2012, as~~the amended ~~on July 18, 2014, for sale to eligible employees under the Plan.~~effective date shall not exceed 506,023 shares.

The ~~Plan~~Amended ESPP is considered to be non-compensatory. As such, there is no compensation expense required to be recognized. Share purchases under the ~~Plan~~Amended ESPP are made on the last day of each month. During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020, 23,028~~March 31, 2021, 14,770 shares of the Company's common stock were issued in connection with the ~~Plan.~~Amended ESPP.

Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net income attributable to The GEO Group, Inc. available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Net income attributable to The GEO Group, Inc. available to common stockholders represents net income attributable to The GEO Group reduced by an allocation of earnings to participating securities. The 6.50% Exchangeable Notes due 2026, which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends declared and paid on the shares of common stock, are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Diluted EPS is calculated under the if-converted method and the two-class method for each class of shareholders using the weighted average number of ~~outstanding~~ shares ~~of common stock.~~attributable to each class. The calculation ofthat results in the lowest diluted earnings per share ~~is similar to that of basic earnings per share except that the denominator includes dilutive~~amount for common stock ~~equivalents such as stock options and~~is reported in the Company’s financial statements. The if-converted method includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares ~~of restricted stock.~~related to the 6.50% Exchangeable Notes due 2026, if any. Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020 ~~and 2019~~ as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

The Company has designated these interest rate swaps as hedges against changes in the cash flows of two identical promissory notes (the "Notes") which are secured by loan agreements and mortgage and security agreements on certain real property and improvements. The Company has determined that the swaps have payment, expiration dates, and provisions that coincide with the terms of the Notes and are therefore considered to be effective cash flow

hedges. Accordingly, the Company records the change in fair value of the interest rate swaps as accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Total unrealized ~~losses~~gains recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax, related to these cash flow hedges was ~~$4.7~~$2.9 million during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. The total fair value of the swap liabilities as of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 was ~~$7.9~~$2.3 million and is recorded as a component of Other Non-Current liabilities within the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. There was no material ineffectiveness for the period presented. The Company does not expect to enter into any transactions during the next twelve months which would result in reclassification into earnings or losses associated with these swaps currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Refer to Note 10 - Debt for additional information.

The Company’s Australian subsidiary had previously entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate on its variable rate non-recourse debt related to a project in Ravenhall, a locality near Melbourne, Australia to 4.2%. The Company had previously determined that the swaps had payment, expiration dates, and provisions that coincided with the terms of the non-recourse debt and were therefore considered to be effective cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the Company recorded the change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. On May 22, 2019, the Company refinanced the associated debt and terminated the swap agreements which resulted in the reclassification of $3.9 million into losses that were previously reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Refer to Note 10 - Debt for additional information.

On June 12, 2019, GEO entered into Amendment No. 2 to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") by and among the refinancing lenders party thereto, the other lenders party thereto, GEO and GEO Corrections Holdings, Inc. and the administrative agent. Under the amendment, the maturity date of the revolver component of the Credit Agreement was extended to May 17, 2024. The borrowing capacity under the amended revolver remains at $900.0 million, and its pricing remains unchanged currently bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%. As a result of the transaction, the Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.2 million during 2019 related to certain unamortized deferred loan costs. Additionally, loan costs of $4.7 million were incurred and capitalized in connection with the transaction.

The Credit Agreement evidences a credit facility (the "Credit Facility") consisting of a $792.0 million term loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.00% (with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%), and a $900.0 million revolver initially bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% (with 0 LIBOR floor) together with AUD275 million, or ~~189~~$196 million, based on exchange rates as of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, available solely for the issuance of financial letters of credit and performance letters of credit, in each case denominated in Australian Dollars under the Australian Dollar Letter of Credit Facility (the "Australian LC Facility"). As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, there were 0 letters of credit issued under the Australian LC Facility. Amounts to be borrowed by GEO under the Credit Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions to borrowing. The term loan component is scheduled to mature on March 23, 2024. The revolving credit commitment component is scheduled to mature on May 17, 2024. The Credit Agreement also has an accordion feature of $450.0 million, subject to lender demand and prevailing market conditions and satisfying the relevant borrowing conditions.

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, and certain customary covenants that restrict GEO’s ability to, among other things (i) create, incur or assume any indebtedness, (ii) create, incur, assume or permit liens, (iii) make loans and investments, (iv) engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, (v) make certain restricted payments, (vi) issue, sell or otherwise dispose of capital stock, (vii) engage in transactions with affiliates, (viii) allow the total leverage ratio to exceed 6.25 to 1.00, allow the senior secured leverage ratio to exceed 3.50 to 1.00, or allow the interest coverage ratio to be less than 3.00 to 1.00, (ix) cancel, forgive, make any voluntary or optional payment or prepayment on, or redeem or acquire for value any senior notes, except as permitted, (x) alter the business GEO conducts, and (xi) materially impair GEO’s lenders’ security interests in the collateral for its loans.

Events of default under the Credit Agreement include, but are not limited to, (i) GEO’s failure to pay principal or interest when due, (ii) GEO’s material breach of any representation or warranty, (iii) covenant defaults, (iv) liquidation, reorganization or other relief relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, (v) cross default under certain other material indebtedness, (vi) unsatisfied final judgments over a specified threshold, (vii) certain material environmental liability claims asserted against GEO, and (viii) a change in control.

GEO Australasia Holdings Pty Ltd, GEO Australasia Finance Holdings Pty Ltd as trustee for the GEO Australasia Finance Holding Trust, and together with GEO Australasia Holdings, collectively ~~("the Australian~~(the “Australian Borrowers") are wholly owned foreign subsidiaries of GEO. GEO has designated each of the Australian Borrowers as restricted subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement. However, the Australian Borrowers are not obligated to pay or perform any obligations under the Credit Agreement other than their own obligations as Australian Borrowers under the Credit Agreement. The Australian Borrowers do not pledge any of their assets to secure any obligations under the Credit Agreement.

On August 18, 2016, the Company executed a ~~Letter~~letter of ~~Offer~~offer providing for a bank guarantee line and bank guarantee/standby sub-facility in an aggregate amount of approximately AUD58 million, or ~~$39.9~~$44.1 million, based on exchange rates in effect as of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 (collectively, the “Bank Guarantee Facility”). The Bank Guarantee Facility allows GEO to provide letters of credit to assure performance of certain obligations of its wholly owned subsidiary relating to its correctional facility in Ravenhall, located near Melbourne, Australia. The Bank Guarantee Facility is unsecured. The issuance of letters of credit under the Bank Guarantee Facility is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in the ~~Letter~~letter of ~~Offer.~~offer. Letters of credit issued under the bank guarantee lines are due on demand and letters of credit issued under the bank guarantee/standby sub-facility cannot have a duration exceeding twelve months. The Bank Guarantee Facility may be terminated by the lender on 90 days written notice. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, there was AUD58 million in letters of credit issued under the Bank Guarantee Facility.

As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company had approximately ~~$774.0~~$768.0 million in aggregate borrowings outstanding under its term loan, approximately ~~$491.7~~$631.6 million in borrowings under its revolver, and approximately ~~$61.7~~$59.4 million in letters of credit which left approximately ~~$344.6~~$209.0 million in additional borrowing capacity under the Revolver. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 was ~~2.63%~~2.57%.

On February 24, 2021, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, GEO Corrections Holdings, Inc. (“GEOCH”), completed a private offering of $230 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% exchangeable senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”), which included the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ over-allotment option to purchase an additional $30 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes will mature on February 23, 2026, unless earlier repurchased or exchanged. The Convertible Notes bear interest at the rate of 6.50% per year plus an additional amount based on the dividends paid by the Company on its common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2021.

Subject to certain restrictions on share ownership and transfer, holders may exchange the notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 25, 2025, but only under the following circumstances: (1) during the five consecutive business day period after any five consecutive trading day period, or the measurement period, in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of such measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the exchange rate for the notes on each such trading day; or (2) upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events. On or after November 25, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the notes, holders may exchange their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon exchange of a note, GEO will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2021, conditions had not been met to convert.

Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. The initial conversion rate is 108.4011 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.225 per share of common stock). The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in certain events. If the Company or GEOCH undergoes a fundamental change, holders may require GEOCH to purchase the notes in whole or in part for cash at a fundamental change purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.

The Company used the net proceeds from this offering, including the exercise in full of the initial purchasers' over-allotment option to fund the redemption of the then outstanding amount of approximately $194.0 million of the Company’s 5.875% senior notes due 2022, to re-purchase additional senior notes and used remaining net proceeds to pay related transaction fees and expenses, and for general corporate purposes of the Company. As a result of the redemption, deferred loan costs in the amount of approximately $0.7 million were written off to loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The notes were offered in the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and outside of the United States to non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. Neither the notes nor any of the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exchange of the notes, if any, have been, or will be, registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States, except pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.

The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, on January 1, 2021. The new standard simplifies the accounting for convertible debt by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the new standard also simplifies the guidance in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contract in Entity’s Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied to classify a contract as equity. Finally, the new standard revises the guidance on calculating earnings per share. The Company determined under the guidance of the new standard that the embedded conversion option does not require bifurcation and all proceeds were allocated to the Convertible Notes as a single instrument and is included in Long-Term Debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The costs incurred in the issuance, including initial purchasers discount, totaling approximately $9.6 million, are classified as a cash outflow within the financing activities section in the consolidated statement of cash flows, and are also being amortized to expense over the term of the Convertible Notes. The Company did 0t have any convertible instruments during 2020.

Because the Company currently intends to settle conversions by paying cash up to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, with any excess conversion value settled in shares of common stock, the Convertible Notes are being accounted for using the net settlement method (or treasury stock-type method) for the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share. Using this method, the denominator will be affected when the average share price of the Company's common stock for a given period is greater than the conversion price of approximately $9.225 per share. There was no dilutive impact for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Evans (“Mr. Evans”), in the ~~United States~~U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. On October 1, 2020, the Court entered an unopposed order appointing lead plaintiffs, approving the selection of counsel, dismissing the initial complaint, and setting a deadline for the filing of an amended complaint. On November 18, 2020, the lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated class action amended complaint. The amended complaint alleges that the Company and Messrs. Zoley and ~~Evans~~ Evans––as well as J. David Donahue (“Mr. Donahue”), the Company’s former Senior Vice President and President of the U.S. Secure Services division, and Ann M. Schlarb (“Ms. Schlarb”), the Company’s Senior Vice President and President of the GEO Care division––made materially false and misleading statements ~~regarding the Company’s business, and operational and compliance policies, specifically~~and/or omissions related to ~~the Company’s~~GEO’s business––including quality of operations, corporate social responsibility, competitive strengths, business strategies, health and safety, sources of financing, dividend expectations, and COVID-19 ~~response~~ procedures.

Zoley and Evans~~defendants violated ~~Section~~Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and alleges that Messrs. Zoley, Evans, and ~~Evans~~Donahue and Ms. Schlarb violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The amended complaint seeks damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, expert fees, other costs, and such other relief as the court may deem proper. On December 18, 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. Lead plaintiffs filed their opposition to the motion to dismiss on January 19, 2021, and defendants’ reply was filed on February 2, 2021. The ~~Company intends~~motion to ~~take all necessary steps to vigorously defend itself and Messrs. Zoley and Evans. The Company has not recorded an accrual relating to this matter at this time, as a loss~~dismiss is ~~not considered probable or reasonably estimable at this preliminary stage of the lawsuit.~~

As previously reported and described in the Company's ~~prior~~ periodic reports, including most recently in its Form ~~10-Q~~10-K for the ~~three months~~year ended ~~March~~December 31, 2020, former civil immigration detainees at the Aurora ~~Immigration~~ICE Processing Center filed a class action lawsuit on October 22, 2014, against the Company in the ~~United States~~U.S. District Court for the District of ~~Colorado (the “Court”).~~Colorado. The complaint alleges that the Company was in violation of the Colorado Minimum Wages of Workers Act and the Federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act ~~("TVPA"~~(“TVPA”). The plaintiff class claims that the Company was unjustly enriched because of the level of payment the detainees received for work performed at the facility, even though the voluntary work program as well as the wage rates and standards associated with the program that are at issue in the case are authorized by the Federal government under guidelines approved by the United States Congress. On July 6, 2015, the ~~Court~~court found that detainees were not employees under the Colorado Minimum Wage Order and dismissed this claim. In February 2017, the Court granted the plaintiff-class’ motion for class certification on the TVPA and unjust enrichment claims. The plaintiff class seeks actual damages, compensatory damages, exemplary damages, punitive damages, restitution, attorneys’ fees and costs, and such other relief as the Court may deem proper. In the time since the Colorado suit was initially filed, 3 similar lawsuits have been filed - 2 in Washington and 1 in California. ~~In Washington, 1~~The first of the 2 Washington lawsuits was filed on September 9, 2017 by immigration detainees against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Western

District of Washington. The second lawsuit was filed on September 20, 2017 by the State Attorney General against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of Washington for Pierce County, which the Company removed to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington on October 9, 2017. In California, a class-action lawsuit was filed on December 19, 2017 by immigration detainees against the Company in the U.S. District Court Eastern Division of the Central District of California. All three lawsuits allege violations of the respective state’s minimum wage laws. However, the California lawsuit, like the Colorado suit, also includes claims that the Company violated the TVPA and California's equivalent state statute. ~~On September 27, 2019, the~~The California plaintiff class filed a motion for class certification of both California-based and nationwide classes. The Company filed a response to this motion disputing the plaintiff class' right to broad class treatment of the claims at issue. The Court ultimatelycourt certified a nationwide class which would allow the plaintiffs to primarily seek injunctive relief or policy changes at a number of facilities if they are successful on the merits of their claims. On July 2, 2019, the Company filed a Motion for Summary Judgment in the Washington Attorney General’s Tacoma lawsuit based on the Company’s position that its legal defenses prevent the case from proceeding to trial. The federal court in Washington denied the Company's Motion

for Summary Judgment on August 6, 2019. However, on August 20, 2019, the United States Department of Justice filed a Statement of Interest, which asked the Washington court to revisit its prior denial of the Company's intergovernmental immunity defense in the case. While the Washington court ultimately elected not to dismiss the case at the time, its order importantly declared that the Company's intergovernmental immunity defense was legally viable, to be ultimately determined at trial. ~~On July 20, 2020, the trial court for the two Washington cases alerted the Company that the litigation continued to be~~After putting them on “standby” for most of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ~~“which is still ‘raging and explosive’” in~~ the ~~jurisdiction.

The court ordered a ~~result,~~remote trial, but with the possibility of in-person proceedings. The order notes the Company’s exception to the remote trial setting.

On April 9, 2021, the Washington court denied the motion for reconsideration for an in-person trial, ruling that a “hybrid” trial, with some parts being conducted in-person with COVID-19 precautions, will begin on June 1, 2021. On April 28, 2021, the court ruled that the entire trial will be conducted remotely. The Company intends to take all necessary steps to vigorously defend itself and has consistently refuted the allegations and claims in these lawsuits. The Company has not recorded an accrual relating to these matters at this time, as a loss is not considered probable nor reasonably estimable at this stage of the lawsuits.

On ~~June~~December 30, 2019, the Company filed a lawsuit for declaratory and injunctive relief challenging California’s newly enacted law - Assembly Bill 32 (AB-32) - which bars the federal government from engaging the Company or any other government contractors to provide detention services for illegal immigrants. The Company’s claims, as described in the lawsuit, are grounded in authoritative legal doctrine that under the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, the federal government is free from regulation by any state. By prohibiting federal detention facilities in California, the suit argues AB-32 substantially interferes with the ability of U.S. Marshals Service (“USMS”) and ICE to carry out detention responsibilities for the federal government. Secondly, because AB-32 creates exceptions to the State of California when using the Company or any government contractors (to alleviate overcrowding), California’s statute unlawfully discriminates against the federal government. On December 31, 2019, GEO filed its motion for a preliminary injunction restraining California’s Governor and Attorney General from enforcing AB-32 against the Company’s detention facilities on behalf of USMS and ICE. On January 24, 2020, the ~~Immigrant Legal Resources Center and Freedom for Immigrants~~United States filed a ~~petition~~lawsuit challenging AB-32.

The Company establishes accruals for specific legal proceedings when it is considered probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. However, the results of these claims or proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these claims or proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company's accruals for loss contingencies are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as additional information becomes available. The Company does not accrue for anticipated legal fees and costs but expenses those items as incurred.

On December 30, 2019, GEO filed a lawsuit for declaratory and injunctive relief challenging California’s newly enacted law - Assembly Bill 32 (AB-32) - which bars the federal government from engaging GEO or any other government contractors to provide detention services for illegal immigrants. GEO’s claims, as described in the lawsuit, are grounded in authoritative legal doctrine that under the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, the federal government is free from regulation by any state. By prohibiting federal detention facilities in California, the lawsuit argues AB-32 substantially interferes with the ability of U.S. Marshals Service (“USMS”) and ICE to carry out detention responsibilities for the federal government. Secondly, because AB-32 creates exceptions to the State of California when using GEO or any government contractors (to alleviate overcrowding), California’s statute unlawfully discriminates against the federal government. On December 31, 2019, GEO filed its motion for a preliminary injunction restraining California’s Governor and Attorney General from enforcing AB-32 against GEO’s detention facilities on behalf of USMS and ICE. ~~On January 24, 2020, the United States filed a lawsuit challenging AB-32~~. The court heard both GEO and the United States’ motions for preliminary injunction on July 16, 2020. The court ordered the parties to submit supplemental briefing and will render an opinion sometime after the filing deadline of August 18, 2020. On July 20, 2020 the court consolidated both lawsuits.

The nature of the Company's business exposes it to various types of third-party legal claims or litigation against the Company, including, but not limited to, civil rights claims relating to conditions of confinement and/or mistreatment, sexual misconduct claims brought by prisoners or detainees, medical malpractice claims, product liability claims, intellectual property infringement claims, claims relating to employment matters (including, but not limited to, employment discrimination claims, union grievances and wage and hour claims), property loss claims, environmental claims, automobile liability claims, indemnification claims by its customers and

other third parties, contractual claims and claims for personal injury or other damages resulting from contact with the Company's facilities, programs, electronic monitoring products, personnel or prisoners, including damages arising from a prisoner's escape or from a disturbance or riot at a facility. The Company accrues for legal costs associated with loss contingencies when those costs are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not expect the outcome of any pending claims or legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

A state non-income tax audit completed in 2016 included tax periods for which the state tax authority had previously processed a substantial tax refund. At the completion of the audit fieldwork, the Company received a notice of audit findings disallowing deductions that were previously claimed by the Company, approved by the state tax authority and served as the basis for the approved refund claim. In early January 2017, the Company received a formal Notice of Assessment of Taxes and Demand for Payment from the taxing authority disallowing the deductions. The total tax, penalty and interest related to the assessment is approximately ~~$19.2~~$19.4 million. The Company ~~has filed~~is appealing an administrative ~~protest~~ruling and disagrees with the assessment and intends to take all necessary steps to vigorously defend its position. The Company has established a reserve based on its estimate of the most probable loss based on the facts and circumstances known to date and the advice of outside counsel in connection with this matter.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, allows employers to defer the deposit and payment of the employer's share of Social Security taxes. The deferral applies to deposits and payments of the employer’s share of Social Security tax that would otherwise be required to be made during the period beginning on March 27, 2020 and ending on December 31, 2020. The deferred amounts are due to be paid in 2 equal installments on December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022. As a result of the CARES Act, the Company has deferred the payment of approximately ~~$15~~$42.1 million related to these payroll taxes as of ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

The Company currently has contractual commitments for a number of projects using Company financing. The Company’s management estimates that the cost of these existing active capital projects will be approximately ~~$67~~$47.5 million of which ~~$38~~$34.6 million was spent through the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2020.~~2021. The Company estimates the remaining capital requirements related to these capital projects will be ~~$29~~$12.9 million which will be spent through the remainder of ~~2020.~~2021.

[1] The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation agreement with its CEO. The agreement ~~provides~~provided for a lump sum cash payment upon retirement, no sooner than age 55. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the CEO had reached age 55 and was eligible to receive the payment upon retirement. If the Company’s CEO had retired as of June 30, 2020, the Company would have had to pay him approximately $8.9 million in shares of the Company’s common stock (determined as of February 26, 2020) plus additional shares credited for dividends declared and paid on the shares of the Company’s common stock.

On February 26, 2020 (the "Effective Date"), the Company and its CEO entered into an amended and restated executive retirement agreement that amends the CEO’s executive retirement ~~agreement discussed above.~~agreement.

The amended and restated executive retirement agreement provides that upon the CEO’s retirement from the Company, the Company will pay a lump sum amount initially equal to $8,925,065 (determined as of February 26, 2020) (the “Grandfathered Payment”) which will be paid in the form of a fixed number of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Grandfathered Payment will be delayed for six months and a day following the effective date of the CEO’s termination of employment in compliance with Section 409A of the ~~Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.~~Code.

On the Effective Date, an amount equal to the Grandfathered Payment was invested in the Company’s common stock (“GEO Shares”). The number of the Company’s shares of common stock as of the Effective Date was equal to the Grandfathered Payment divided by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Effective Date (rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares), which equals 553,665 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additional shares of the Company’s common stock ~~will be~~are credited with a value equal to any dividends declared and paid on the Company’s shares of common stock, calculated by reference to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the payment date for such dividends (rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares).

The Company has established several trusts for the purpose of paying the retirement benefit pursuant to the amended and restated executive retirement agreement. The trusts are revocable “rabbi trusts” and the assets of the trusts are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency.

The Company repurchased shares of its outstanding common stock under its stock buyback program and contributed such shares to the trusts in order to fund the retirement benefit under the amended and restated executive retirement agreement. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 710 – Compensation-General, the shares of common stock held in the rabbi trusts are classified as treasury stock. In addition, the amended and restated executive retirement agreement qualifies for equity accounting under ASC 710 and therefore, the fair value of the Grandfathered Payment has been reclassified to stockholders’ equity.

The long-term portion of the pension liability as of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 was ~~$29.2~~$33.7 million and ~~$37.2~~$33.2 million, respectively, and is included in Other Non-Current Liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company implemented the following accounting standards during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020:~~March 31, 2021:

~~The SEC recently adopted the final rule in Release No.33-10762 (the “Final Rule”),~~ ~~Financial Disclosures about Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities, to eliminate certain prescriptive requirements currently in Rules 3-10 and 3-16 of Regulation S-X. The Final Rule amends Regulation S-X Rules 3-10 and 3-16 with Regulation S-X Rules 13-01,~~ ~~Guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities registered or being registered, and 13-02,~~ ~~Affiliates whose securities collateralize securities registered or being registered~~. The Final Rule simplifies the conditions required to omit separate financial statements of subsidiary issuers and guarantors, allows for reduced supplemental financial information about subsidiary issuers and guarantors as well as affiliates whose securities are collateralized and expands qualitative disclosures about the guarantees or securities pledged as collateral as well as issuers, guarantors, or affiliates, as applicable. The amended rules also provide flexibility to include these disclosures within or outside the annual and interim financial statements in both registration statements and periodic reports. Further, the disclosures are required only for the most recent annual and year-to-date interim periods. The Final Rule is effective on January 4, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The early adoption of the Final Rule did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August ~~2018,~~2020, the FASB issued ASU ~~No. 2018-13, "~~2020-06, “~~Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820~~Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options~~)" as a part of its disclosure framework project.~~”. The ~~amendments~~guidance in this update ~~remove, modify~~simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and ~~add~~convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain ~~disclosures primarily related~~conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendments in the ASU also simplify the guidance in ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to ~~transfers between Level 1~~classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and ~~Level 2~~embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the ~~fair value hierarchy, various disclosures related~~if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to ~~Level 3 fair value measurements and investments~~rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in ~~certain entities that calculate net asset value.~~cash or shares. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ~~new~~Company elected to early adopt this standard ~~was~~ effective ~~for the Company beginning~~ January 1, ~~2020.~~2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

~~In June 2016, the FASB issued ASC No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~". The purpose of Update No. 2016-13 is to replace the current incurred loss impairment methodology for financial assets measured at amortized cost with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information, including forecasted information, to develop credit loss estimates. Update No. 2016-13 was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Reform Rate (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the contract modifications, hedge relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. This ASU, which was effective upon issuance and may be applied through December 31, 2022, is applicable to all contracts and hedging relationships that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate or any other reference rate expected to be discontinued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of reference rate reform and the potential application of this guidance.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, "Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Topic 715.20)" as a part of its disclosure framework project. The amendments in this update remove, modify and add certain disclosures primarily related to amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year, explanations for reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period, and projected and accumulated benefit obligations. The new standard isbecame effective for the Company ~~beginning~~on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard isdid not ~~expected to~~ have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the SEC did not, or are not expected to, have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

On July 7, 2020, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.48 per share of common stock which was paid on July 24, 2020 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 17, 2020.

On April 7, 2021, GEO announced that its Board had immediately suspended GEO’s quarterly dividend payments with the goal of maximizing the use of cash flows to repay debt, deleverage and internally fund growth. While GEO currently intends to maintain its corporate tax structure as a REIT, the Board is evaluating GEO’s corporate tax structure as a REIT. The Board’s evaluation of the current corporate tax structure and GEO’s REIT status is expected to take into consideration, among other factors, potential changes to GEO’s financial operating performance, as well as, potential changes to the Code applicable to U.S. corporations and REITs. As a part of this evaluation, GEO has engaged financial advisors and legal advisors to assist in evaluating various corporate structure alternatives. The Board expects to conclude its evaluation in the fourth quarter of 2021, and should the Board determine to maintain GEO’s REIT status, an additional dividend payment may be required before year-end in order to meet the minimum REIT distribution requirements under the Code.

On April 30, 2021 and May 4, 2021, the Company elected to draw down $20 million and $150 million, respectively in borrowings under its credit facility as a liquidity management strategy. In order to maintain maximum financial flexibility, the Company plans to maintain this liquidity on hand.

The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors including, but not limited to, those described above under “Forward-Looking Information”, those described below under "Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors" and under “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019 and under “Part II – Item 1A, Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020..~~2020. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We are a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in the ownership, leasing and management of secure ~~services~~facilities, processing centers and reentry facilities and the provision of community-based services and youth services in the United States, Australia, South Africa and the United Kingdom. We own, lease and operate a broad range of secure ~~services~~ facilities including maximum, medium and ~~minimum security~~minimum-security facilities, processing centers, ~~and~~as well as community-based reentry facilities. We develop new facilities based on contract awards, using our project development expertise and experience to design, construct and finance what we ~~offer an expanded delivery of rehabilitation services under our 'GEO Continuum of Care' platform.~~believe are state-of-the-art facilities. We ~~offer counseling, education and/or treatment to individuals with alcohol and drug abuse problems at most of the domestic facilities we manage.

We also provide secure transportation services domestically and ~~pretrial defendants.~~in the United Kingdom through our joint venture GEOAmey PECS Ltd. (“GEOAmey”).

At ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, our worldwide operations include the management and/or ownership of approximately ~~93,000~~92,000 beds at ~~125~~116 secure services and ~~reentry~~community based facilities, including idle facilities, ~~projects under development and recently awarded contracts,~~ and also include the provision of community supervision services for more than 210,000 individuals, including ~~approximately~~over 100,000 through an array of technology products including radio frequency, GPS, and alcohol monitoring devices.

We provide a diversified scope of services on behalf of our government ~~clients:~~agency partners:

For the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ we had consolidated revenues of ~~$1,192.8~~$576.4 million and ~~$1,224.6~~$605.0 million, respectively. We maintained an average company-wide facility occupancy rate of ~~88.4%~~84.6% including ~~90,190~~83,466 active beds and excluding ~~3,105~~8,248 idle beds which includes those being marketed to potential customers for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and 90.2% including 90,865 active beds and excluding 3,368 idle beds which includes those being marketed to potential customers and beds under development for the ~~six~~three months ended June 30, 2020, and 93.3% including 93,315 active beds and excluding 3,532 idle beds which includes those being marketed to potential customers and beds under development for the six months ended June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. The decrease in occupancy is primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 ~~pandemic.~~pandemic as well as the impacts of the Executive Order.

As a REIT, we are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gain) and we began paying regular quarterly REIT dividends in 2013. The amount, timing and frequency of future dividends, however, will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors (the "Board”) and will be declared based upon various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, our financial condition and operating cash flows, the amount required to maintain REIT status, limitations on distributions in our existing and future debt instruments, limitations on our ability to fund distributions using cash generated through our taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs") and other factors that our Board may deem relevant.

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, we declared and paid the following regular cash distributions to our shareholders as follows:

On ~~July~~April 7, ~~2020,~~2021, we announced that our Board ~~declared~~had immediately suspended GEO’s quarterly dividend payments with the goal of maximizing the use of cash flows to repay debt, deleverage and internally fund growth. While we currently intend to maintain our corporate tax structure as a ~~quarterly cash dividend of $0.48 per share of common stock which was paid on July 24, 2020 to shareholders of record~~REIT, the Board is evaluating GEO’s corporate tax structure as a REIT. The Board’s evaluation of the ~~close~~current corporate tax structure and GEO’s REIT status is expected to take into consideration, among other factors, potential changes to GEO’s financial operating performance, as well as, potential changes to the Code applicable to U.S. corporations and REITs. As a result of ~~business on July 17, 2020.~~this evaluation, we have engaged financial advisors and legal advisors to assist in evaluating various corporate structure alternatives. The Board expects to conclude its evaluation in the fourth quarter of 2021, and should the Board determine to maintain GEO’s REIT status, an additional dividend payment may be required before year-end in order to meet the minimum REIT distribution requirements under the Code.

Reference is made to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February ~~26, 2020,~~16, 2021, for further discussion and analysis of information pertaining to our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

On January 26, 2021, President Biden signed an executive order directing the United States Attorney General not to renew U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) contracts with privately operated criminal detention facilities, as consistent with applicable law (the “Executive Order”). Two agencies of the DOJ, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) and U.S. Marshals Service (“USMS”), utilize our services. The BOP houses inmates who have been convicted of federal crimes, and the USMS is generally responsible for detainees who are awaiting trial or sentencing in U.S. federal courts. Our contracts with the BOP for our company-owned 1,940-bed Great Plains Correctional Facility, our company-owned 1,732-bed Big Spring Correctional Facility, our company-owned 1,800-bed Flightline Correctional Facility, and our company-owned 1,800-bed North Lake Correctional Facility have renewal option periods that expire on May 31, 2021, November 30, 2021, November 30, 2021, and September 30, 2022, respectively. Additionally, the contracts with the BOP for the county owned and managed 1,800-bed Reeves County Detention Center I & II and the 1,376-bed Reeves County Detention Center III have renewal option periods that expire September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. We have a management agreement with Reeves County, Texas for the management oversight of these two county-owned facilities. The Great Plains, Big Spring, Flightline, North Lake Correctional Facilities, Reeves County Detention Center I & II and Reeves County Detention Center III generated approximately $145 million in revenues during the year ended December 31, 2020.. The BOP has experienced a decline in federal prison populations over the last several years, a trend that has more recently been accelerated by the COVID-19 global pandemic. As a result of the Executive Order and the decline in federal prison populations, our above described contracts with the BOP may not be renewed over the coming years. On March 5, 2021, we were notified by the BOP that it has decided to not exercise its contract renewal option for the company-owned, 1,940-bed Great Plains Correctional Facility in Oklahoma, when the contract base period expires on May 31, 2021. On March 25, 2021, we were notified that the BOP will terminate its contract with the county-owned and managed Reeves I & II effective May 10, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, our secure services contracts with the BOP accounted for approximately 12% of our total revenues.

Unlike the BOP, the USMS does not own and operate its detention facilities. The USMS contracts for the use of facilities, which are generally located in areas near federal courthouses, primarily through intergovernmental service agreements, and to a lesser extent, direct contracts. We are cooperating with the USMS in assessing various alternatives on how to comply with the Executive Order. During the first quarter of 2021, we were notified by the USMS that it would not renew its contract for the company-owned Queens Detention Facility in New York, which ended on March 31, 2021. We currently operate four additional detention facilities that are under direct contracts and eight detention facilities that are under intergovernmental agreements with the USMS. The four direct contracts are up for renewal at various times over the next few years, including two in late 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the direct contracts and intergovernmental agreements with the USMS accounted for approximately 15% of our total revenues.

The Executive Order only applies to agencies that are part of the DOJ, which includes the BOP and USMS. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) facilities are not covered by the Executive Order as ICE is an agency of the Department of Homeland Security, not the DOJ. However, it is possible that the federal government could choose to take similar action on ICE facilities in the future. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, contracts for ICE Processing Centers, not including the Alternatives to Detention contract, accounted for approximately 23% of our total revenues.

President Biden’s administration may implement additional executive orders or directives relating to federal criminal justice policies and immigration policies which may impact the federal government’s use of public-private partnerships with respect to correctional and detention needs, including with respect to our contracts, and/or may impact the budget and spending priorities of federal agencies, including the BOP, USMS, and ICE.

We have been and are currently closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines on all aspects of our business and geographies, including how it will impact those entrusted in our care and governmental partners. We did incur ~~significant~~ disruptions during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 from the COVID-19 pandemic and are unable to predict the overall future impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties. Refer to further discussion regarding the economic impacts of COVID-19 to our operations in the Outlook section below.

On March ~~24, 2020,~~5, 2021, we were notified by the BOP that it has decided to not exercise the contract renewal option for the company-owned, 1,940-bed Great Plains Correctional Facility in Oklahoma, when the contract base period expires on May 31, 2021. The contract for the facility generated approximately $35 million in annualized revenues.

On March 15, 2021, we announced that the USMS has decided to not exercise the contract renewal option for our ~~wholly owned subsidiary, BI Incorporated, has signed a~~company-owned, 222-bed Queens Detention Facility in New York, when the contract ~~with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”)~~base period ended on March 31, 2021. The contract for the ~~continued provision of case management~~facility generated approximately $19 million in annualized revenues.

On March 25, 2021, we were notified by the BOP that it has decided to terminate the contract for the county-owned and ~~supervision services under~~managed, 1,800-bed Reeves County Detention Center I & II in Texas effective May 10, 2021, which the ~~federal government’s Intensive Supervision and Appearance Program (“ISAP”).~~contract base period was to expire on September 30, 2022. The contract ~~has a term of five years, effective April 1, 2020~~for the facility generated approximately $35 million in annualized revenues.

On June 19, 2020, we were notified by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (the "BOP") that the BOP will not be resoliciting the 1,900 beds at our company-owned D Ray James Correctional Facility in Folkston, Georgia upon the expiration of the facility management contract currently in place between GEO and the BOP. The facility management contract was entered into in October 2010 with a base period of four years and with three renewal optionscontracts for ~~a two-year period. The third renewal period concludes on September 30, 2020. The facility management contract for the D Ray James Correctional Facility~~these facilities generated approximately ~~$60~~$15 million, $35 million and $15 million in annualized revenues ~~for GEO.~~respectively.

We are currently marketing approximately ~~1,000~~7,500 vacant beds at ~~two~~eight of our idle facilities to potential customers. The carrying values of these idle facilities totaled ~~$20.5~~$217.7 million as of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, excluding equipment and other assets that can be easily transferred for use at other facilities. Refer to Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies included in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We routinely evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we did not experience any significant changes in estimates or judgments inherent in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. A summary of our significant accounting policies is contained in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Revenues decreased by ~~$9.8~~$11.1 million in ~~Second~~First Quarter 2021 compared to First Quarter 2020 ~~compared to Second Quarter 2019 primarily~~ due to ~~aggregate decreases of $19.0 million at certain of our facilities due to contract terminations.

Various governmental agencies have also taken steps to decrease the number of those in custody to adhere to social distancing protocols. Additionally, there were aggregate decreases of $24.4 million due to contract terminations/expirations including our company-owned D. Ray James, Rivers and Moshannon Valley Correctional Facilities which expired on January 31, 2021, March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by increases of ~~$22.0~~$25.4 million resulting from the activation of our ~~contracts at our~~ company-owned Golden State, Desert View and ~~previously idled South Louisiana Processing Center~~Central Valley Annexes in ~~Basile, Louisiana during the third quarter of 2019, our company-owned~~late 2020 and ~~previously idled North Lake Correctional Facility in Baldwin, Michigan which was activated on October 1, 2019~~early 2021 as well as our managed-only contract for the El Centro Detention Center in California which was effective in December ~~2019. Also partially offsetting these decreases were net increases in population, transportation services and/or rates of $2.5 million at our BOP and State facilities.~~2020.

The number of compensated mandays in ~~GEO~~U.S. Secure Services facilities was approximately ~~5.4~~5.3 million in ~~Second~~First Quarter ~~2020~~2021 and ~~6.0~~5.7 million in ~~Second~~First Quarter ~~2019.~~2020. We experienced an aggregate net decrease of approximately ~~600,000~~400,000 mandays as a result of net decreases in population as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as contract terminations, partially offset by contract activations discussed above. We look at the average occupancy in our facilities to determine how we are managing our available beds. The average occupancy is calculated by taking compensated mandays as a percentage of capacity. The average occupancy in our ~~GEO~~U.S. Secure Services facilities was ~~89.2%~~88.5% and ~~96.2%~~92.0% of capacity in the ~~Second~~First Quarter ~~2020~~2021 and ~~Second~~First Quarter ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, excluding idle facilities.

Revenues decreased by ~~$17.3~~$9.0 million in ~~Second~~First Quarter ~~2020~~2021 compared to ~~Second~~First Quarter ~~2019~~2020 primarily due to aggregate decreases of ~~$9.5~~$6.6 million related to contract terminations/closures of underutilized ~~facilities.~~facilities which have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors. We also experienced a decrease of ~~$5.0~~$0.4 million due to decreases in blended rates and average client and participant counts under our Intensive Supervision and Appearance Program (“ISAP”) services as a result of policy changes by the former administration. Also contributing to this decrease were the effects that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our community based programs which resulted in reductions in home visits and other impacts. In addition, we experienced decreases of $5.9 million related to net decreases in census levels at certain of our community-based and reentry centers due to declines in programs as a result of lower levels of referrals by federal, state and local agencies primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $4.0 million due to new/reactivated contracts and programs.

Revenues for International Services decreased by $3.4 million in First Quarter 2021 compared to First Quarter 2020. We experienced a net decrease in revenues of $6.8 million which was primarily due to the transition of the Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre to government operation in State of Queensland, Australia at the end of June 2020. This was offset by an increase due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $3.4 million.

In First Quarter 2021 and First Quarter 2020, we had Facility Construction & Design services related an expansion project at our Fulham Correctional Centre in Australia which has been substantially completed. The decrease was due to a decrease in construction activity as the project neared completion.

Operating expenses for U.S. Secure Services decreased by $9.1 million in First Quarter 2021 compared to First Quarter 2020. We experienced net decreases of $18.5 million at certain of our facilities primarily due to contract terminations/expirations including our company-owned D. Ray James, Rivers and Moshannon Valley Correctional Facilities which expired on January 31, 2021, March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. Additionally, we experienced aggregate net decreases of $7.1 million related to decreases in population, transportation services and the variable costs associated with those services primarily as a result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as described above. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $16.5 million resulting from the activation of our company-owned Golden State, Desert View and Central Valley Annexes in late 2020 and early 2021 as well as our managed-only contract for the El Centro Detention Center in California which was effective in December 2020.

Operating expenses for GEO Care decreased by $14.3 million during First Quarter 2021 compared to First Quarter 2020 primarily due to aggregate decreases of $7.9 million related to contract terminations/closures of underutilized facilities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors. We also experienced a decrease of $2.3 million due to decreases in average client and participant counts under our ISAP services as a result of policy changes by the former administration which reduced the number of enrollments at the southern border. Also contributing to this decrease were the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic which resulted in reductions in home visits and other impacts. In addition, we experienced decreases of ~~$2.7~~$5.6 million related to net decreases in census levels at certain of our community-based and reentry centers due to declines in programs as a result of lower levels of referrals by federal, state and local agencies due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $1.5 million due to new/reactivated contracts and programs and day reporting center openings.

Operating expenses for GEO Secure Services increased by $0.9 million in Second Quarter 2020 compared to Second Quarter 2019. The increase was primarily due to aggregate increases of $17.2 million resulting from the activation of our contracts at our company-owned and previously idled South Louisiana Processing Center in Basile, Louisiana during the third quarter of 2019, our company-owned and previously idled North Lake Correctional Facility in Baldwin, Michigan which was activated on October 1, 2019, start-up costs incurred in connection with our new managed-only contract for the government owned 512-bed El Centro Detention Facility in California and increased expenditures on personal protective equipment, diagnostic testing and medical expenses due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $16.3 million at certain of our facilities primarily due to contract terminations as well as decreases in variable costs due to census declines.

Operating expenses for GEO Care decreased by $7.2 million during Second Quarter 2020 compared to Second Quarter 2019 primarily due to aggregate decreases of $6.7 million related to contract terminations/closures of underutilized facilities. We also experienced a decrease of $3.3 million due to decreases in average client and participant counts under our ISAP services as a result of policy changes by the administration which reduced the number of enrollments at the southern border. These decreases were partially offset by $2.8 million of net increases primarily related to day reporting center openings.

Operating expenses for International Services decreased by $3.6 million in Second Quarter 2020 compared to Second Quarter 2019 primarily due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $4.0 million resulting from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against certain international currencies. This decrease was partially offset by $0.4 million due to certain transition costs related to our Arthur Gorrie facility at our Australian subsidiary which was transitioned to government operation at the end of June 2020.

In Second Quarter 2020 and Second Quarter 2019, we had facility construction & design services related to an expansion project at our Fulham Correctional Centre in Australia which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2020. The increase is due to increased construction activity as the project is nearing completion.

GEO Secure Services depreciation and amortization expense increased slightly in ~~Second~~First Quarter 2021 compared to First Quarter 2020 ~~compared to Second Quarter 2019~~ primarily due to renovations in connection with our contract activations at ~~several~~certain of our company-owned facilities.

General and administrative expenses comprise substantially all of our other unallocated operating expenses which primarily includes corporate management salaries and benefits, professional fees and other administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased in ~~Second~~First Quarter 2021 compared to First Quarter 2020 ~~compared~~by $2.4 million due to ~~Second Quarter 2019~~a decrease in stock-based compensation expense. The remainder of the decrease was primarily due to less travel, marketing, business development and other corporate administrative expenses primarily due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interest expense decreased in ~~Second~~First Quarter ~~2020~~2021 compared to ~~Second~~First Quarter ~~2019~~2020 primarily due to lower interest rates on our variable rate debt. Also contributing to the decrease was a reduction in higher interest rate debt balances. During ~~the third quarter of~~ 2019, we repurchased approximately ~~$34.0~~$56.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022. ~~Also, during the first quarter of~~During 2020, we repurchased approximately ~~$5.5~~$7.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024. Also, during 2020, we repurchased approximately $18.2 million in aggregate principal amount of our 5.125% Senior Notes due 2023. In 2021 we repurchased $3.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 5.125% Senior Notes due 2023. Additionally, in 2021 we also repurchased $17.2 million in aggregate principal amount of our 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024. Refer to Note 10- Debt of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

During First Quarter 2021, we repurchased $3.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 5.125% Senior Notes due 2023 at a weighted average price of 89.38% for a total cost of $2.7 million. Additionally, we repurchased $17.2 million in aggregate principal amount of our 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 at a weighted average price of 79.51% for a total cost of $13.7 million. As a result of these repurchases, we recognized a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $3.8 million during First Quarter 2021. Partially offsetting this gain was the write-off of deferred loan costs in the amount of approximately $0.7 million in connection with the redemption of the total outstanding amount of approximately $194.0 million of the Company’s 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022 which was funded from the proceeds of our offering of the 6.50% Exhangeable Notes due 2026 in First Quarter 2021.

During First Quarter 2020, we repurchased $5.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our 5.125% Senior Notes due 2023 at a weighted average price of 70.68% for a total cost of $3.9 million. As a result of these repurchases, we recognized a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.6 million during First Quarter 2020.

On May 22, 2019, we completed an offering of Non-Recourse Notes related to our Ravenhall facility in Australia. The net proceeds from this offering were used to refinance our outstanding Construction Facility. As a result of the transaction, we incurred a $4.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to swap termination fees and unamortized deferred loan costs associated with the Construction Facility. Additionally, on June 12, 2019, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to our Credit Agreement. Under the amendment, the maturity date of our Revolver has been extended to May 17, 2024. As a result of the transaction, we incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.2 million related to certain unamortized deferred loan costs. Refer to Note 10- Debt of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

The increase in First Quarter 2021 compared to First Quarter 2020 is primarily due to the sale of our interest in Talbot Hall, located in New Jersey, and the sale of our company-owned McCabe Center, located in Texas, during First Quarter 2021.

The provision for income taxes during ~~Second~~First Quarter ~~2020 decreased~~2021 increased while our effective tax rate ~~increased~~decreased compared to ~~Second~~First Quarter ~~2019.~~2020. The ~~increase~~decrease in the effective rate is primarily due to a change in the composition of our ~~income. Additionally,~~income between our REIT and TRS subsidiaries and certain non-recurring items. In First Quarter 2021, there was a $1.3 million net discrete tax expense, inclusive of a $2.2 million discrete tax expense related to stock compensation that vested during the period. In contrast, in ~~the Second~~First Quarter of 2020, there was a ~~$0.7~~$2.8 million net discrete tax ~~benefit as compared to~~expense, inclusive of a ~~$0.1~~$2.7 million discrete tax expense ~~in the Second Quarter of 2019.~~related to stock compensation that vested during that period. As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to shareholders and in turn we are allowed a deduction for the distribution at the REIT level. Our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiaries continue to be fully subject to federal, state and foreign income taxes, as applicable. We estimate our annual effective tax rate to be in the range of approximately 12% to 14% exclusive of any discrete items.

Equity in earnings of affiliates, presented net of income tax provision, represents the earnings of SACS and GEOAmey in the aggregate. Equity in earnings of affiliates increased during Second Quarter 2020 compared to Second Quarter 2019 primarily due to favorable performance at our GEOAmey affiliate.

Revenues decreased in First Half 2020 by $2.2 million compared to First Half 2019 primarily due to aggregate decreases of $34.1 million at certain of our facilities due to contract terminations. Also contributing to the decrease was $14.7 million of net decreases in population at our ICE processing centers and U.S. Marshals facilities, as a result of declines in crossings and apprehensions along the Southwest border, as well as a decrease in court sentencing at the federal level primarily as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Various governmental agencies have also taken steps to decrease the number of those in custody to adhere to social distancing protocols. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $38.2 million resulting from the activation of our contracts at our company-owned and previously idled South Louisiana Processing Center in Basile, Louisiana during the third quarter of 2019, our company-owned and previously idled North Lake Correctional Facility in Baldwin, Michigan which was activated on October 1, 2019 as

well as our managed-only contract for the El Centro Detention Center in California which was effective in December 2019. Also partially offsetting these decreases were net increases in population, transportation services and/or rates of $8.4 million at our BOP and State facilities.

The number of compensated mandays in GEO Secure Services facilities was approximately11.1 million in First Half 2020 and 11.9 million in First Half 2019. We experienced an aggregate net decrease of approximately 800,000 mandays as a result of net decreases in population as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as contract terminations, partially offset by contract activations discussed above. We look at the average occupancy in our facilities to determine how we are managing our available beds. The average occupancy is calculated by taking compensated mandays as a percentage of capacity. The average occupancy in our GEO Secure Services facilities was 90.5% and 95.8% of capacity in First Half 2020 and First Half 2019, respectively, excluding idle facilities.

Revenues decreased in First Half 2020 by $26.6 million compared to First Half 2019 primarily due to aggregate decreases of $18.1 million related to contract terminations/closures of underutilized facilities. We also experienced a decrease of $7.3 million due to decreases in average client and participant counts under our ISAP services as a result of policy changes by the administration which reduced the number of enrollments at the southern border. In addition, we experienced decreases of $1.2 million related to net decreases in census levels at certain of our community-based and reentry centers due to declines in programs as a result of lower levels of referrals by federal, state and local agencies primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revenues for International Services decreased by $8.5 million in First Half 2020 compared to First Half 2019 which was primarily due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $8.7 million resulting from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against certain international currencies. This decrease was partially offset by $0.2 million primarily due to favorable performance at our South African and United Kingdom subsidiaries.

In First Half 2020 and First Half 2019, we had facility construction & design services related to an expansion project at our Fulham Correctional Centre in Australia which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2020. The increase is due to increased construction activity as the project is nearing completion.

Operating expenses for GEO Secure Services increased by $12.5 million in First Half 2020 compared to First Half 2019. The increase was primarily due to aggregate net increases in population, transportation services and the variable costs associated with those services of $16.5 million. We also experienced increases of $26.7 million resulting from the activation of our contracts at our company-owned and previously idled South Louisiana Processing Center in Basile, Louisiana during the third quarter of 2019, our company-owned and previously idled North Lake Correctional Facility in Baldwin, Michigan which was activated on October 1, 2019, start-up costs incurred in connection with our new managed-only contract for the government owned 512-bed El Centro Detention Facility in California and increased expenditures on personal protective equipment, diagnostic testing and medical expenses due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $30.7 million at certain of our facilities primarily due to contract terminations as well as decreases in variable costs due to census declines.

Operating expenses for GEO Care decreased by $10.5 million during First Half 2020 compared to First Half 2019 primarily due to $12.5 million from contract terminations/closures of underutilized facilities. We also experienced a decrease of $2.5 million due to decreases in average client and participant counts under our ISAP services as a result of policy changes by the administration which reduced the number of enrollments at the southern border. These decreases were partially offset by $4.6 million of net increases related to census levels at certain of our community-based and reentry centers and day reporting center openings.

Operating expenses for International Services decreased by $11.0 million in First Half 2020 compared to First Half 2019. We experienced a net decrease in operating expenses of $2.9 million which was primarily due to the transition of our Parklea Correctional Centre by our Australian subsidiary to a new operator in March 2019. Additionally, we had a decrease due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $8.0 million resulting from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against certain international currencies.

GEO Secure Services depreciation and amortization expense increased in First Half 2020 compared to First Half 2019 primarily due to renovations in connection with our contract activations at certain of our company-owned facilities.

~~GEO Care depreciation and amortization expense increased in First Half 2020 compared to First Half 2019 primarily due to renovations at certain of our centers.~~

~~Depreciation and amortization expense increased slightly in First Half 2020 compared to First Half 2019 as a result of renovations during 2019 and 2020 at several of our international facilities.~~

General and administrative expenses comprise substantially all of our other unallocated operating expenses which primarily includes corporate management salaries and benefits, professional fees and other administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased in First Half 2020 compared to First Half 2019 primarily due to higher stock-based compensation expense of $2.6 million as well as normal personnel and compensation adjustments, professional, consulting, business development and other administrative expenses including COVID-19 related expenses. These increases were partially offset by less travel, marketing, business development and other corporate administrative expenses primarily due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interest income decreased in First Half 2020 compared to First Half 2019 primarily due to the effect of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against certain international currencies. Also contributing to the decrease was~~a lower balance on our contract receivable related to our facility in Ravenhall, Australia.~~

Interest expense decreased in First Half 2020 compared to First Half 2019 primarily due to lower interest rates on our variable rate debt. Also contributing to the decrease was a reduction in higher interest rate debt balances. During the third quarter of 2019, we repurchased approximately $34.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022. Also, during the first quarter of 2020, we repurchased approximately $5.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our 5.125% Senior Notes due 2023. Refer to Note 10- Debt of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

The provision for income taxes during First Half 2020 increased compared to First Half 2019 along with our effective tax rate. In First Half 2020, there was a net $2.1 million discrete tax expense compared to a net $0.1 million discrete tax expense in First Half 2019. Included in the provision for income taxes were $2.7 million and $0.5 million of discrete tax expenses in First Half 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to stock compensation that vested during the respective periods. Additionally, the increase in the effective rate is in part due to a change in the composition of our income. As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to shareholders and in turn we are allowed a deduction for the distribution at the REIT level. Our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiaries continue to be fully subject to federal, state and foreign income taxes, as applicable. We estimate our annual effective tax rate to be in the range of approximately 12% to 14% exclusive of any discrete items.

Equity in earnings of affiliates, presented net of income tax provision, represents the earnings of SACS and GEOAmey in the aggregate. Equity in earnings of affiliates during First ~~Half 2020~~Quarter 2021 compared to First ~~Half 2019 increased primarily due to favorable performance at our GEOAmey affiliate.~~Quarter 2020 was relatively consistent.

Our current cash requirements consist of amounts needed for working capital, distributions of our REIT taxable income in order to maintain our REIT qualification, debt service, supply purchases, investments in joint ventures, and capital expenditures related to either the development of new secure services and reentry facilities, or the maintenance of existing facilities. In addition, some of our management contracts require us to make substantial initial expenditures of cash in connection with opening or renovating a facility. Generally, these initial expenditures are subsequently fully or partially recoverable as pass-through costs or are billable as a component of the per diem rates or monthly fixed fees to the contracting agency over the original term of the contract.

We currently have contractual commitments for a number of projects using Company financing. We estimate that the cost of these existing active capital projects will be approximately ~~$67~~$47.5 million of which ~~$38~~$34.6 million was spent through ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. We estimate that the remaining capital requirements related to these capital projects will be ~~$29~~$12.9 million which will be spent through ~~2020.~~2021.

On February 24, 2021, our wholly-owned subsidiary, GEO Corrections Holdings, Inc. (“GEOCH”), completed a private offering of $230 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% exchangeable senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”), which included the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ over-allotment option to purchase an additional $30 million aggregate principal

amount of Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes will mature on February 23, 2026, unless earlier repurchased or exchanged. The Convertible Notes bear interest at the rate of 6.50% per year plus an additional amount based on the dividends paid by GEO on its common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2021.

Subject to certain restrictions on share ownership and transfer, holders may exchange the notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 25, 2025, but only under the following circumstances: (1) during the five consecutive business day period after any five consecutive trading day period, or the measurement period, in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of such measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the exchange rate for the notes on each such trading day; or (2) upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events. On or after November 25, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the notes, holders may exchange their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon exchange of a note, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. As of March 31, 2021, conditions had not been met to convert.

Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. The initial conversion rate is 108.4011 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.225 per share of common stock). The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in certain events. If GEO or GEOCH undergoes a fundamental change, holders may require GEOCH to purchase the notes in whole or in part for cash at a fundamental change purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.

We used the net proceeds from this offering, including the exercise in full of the initial purchasers' over-allotment option to fund the redemption of the then outstanding amount of approximately $194.0 million of our existing 5.875% senior notes due 2022, to re-purchase additional senior notes and used remaining net proceeds to pay related transaction fees and expenses, and for general corporate purposes of the Company. As a result of the redemption, deferred loan costs in the amount of approximately $0.7 million were written off to loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

On June 12, 2019, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") by and among the refinancing lenders party thereto, the other lenders party thereto, GEO and GEO Corrections Holdings, Inc. and the administrative agent. Under the amendment, the maturity date of the revolver was extended to May 17, 2024. The borrowing capacity under the amended revolver remains at $900.0 million, and its pricing remains unchanged currently bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%. As a result of the amendment, we incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.2 million during 2019 related to certain unamortized deferred loan costs. Additionally, loan costs of $4.7 million were incurred and capitalized in connection with the amendment.

A syndicate of approximately 65 lenders participate in our Credit Agreement, six of which have indicated that they do not intend to provide new financing to GEO but will honor their existing obligations. Refer to Item 1A - Risk Factors included in Part I of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 for further discussion. The banks that have withdrawn participation remain contractually committed for approximately four years. Additionally, these six banks represent less than 25% of our overall borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement and the withdrawal of their participation is not expected to negatively impact our financial flexibility. We are also in frequent communication with potential new lenders as well as the credit rating ~~agencies who have not changed our credit ratings for over 39 months. However, in May 2020,~~agencies. In March 2021, Standard & Poor’s S&P Global ~~revised its outlook on GEO from stable~~and Moody’s Investors Service downgraded GEO’s issuer/corporate ratings to ~~negative while affirming GEO’s current rating.~~B and B2, respectively.

As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had approximately ~~$774.0~~$768.0 million in aggregate borrowings outstanding under our term loan, approximately ~~$491.7~~$631.6 million in borrowings under our revolver, and approximately ~~$61.7~~$59.4 million in letters of credit which left approximately ~~$344.6~~$209.0 million in additional borrowing capacity under the Revolver. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of ~~June~~March 31, 2021 was 2.57%.

On April 30, ~~2020 was 2.63%.~~ 2021 and May 4, 2021, we elected to draw down $20 million and $150 million, respectively in borrowings under its credit facility as a liquidity management strategy. In order to maintain maximum financial flexibility, we plan to maintain this liquidity on hand.

In connection with a design and build project agreement with the State of Victoria, in September 2014, we entered into a syndicated facility agreement (the "Construction Facility") to provide debt financing for construction of the project. The Construction Facility provided for non-recourse funding up to AUD 791.0 million, or approximately ~~$544.0~~$601.8 million, based on exchange rates as of ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. In accordance with the terms of the contract, upon completion and commercial acceptance of the project in late 2017, the State of Victoria made a lump sum payment of AUD310 million, or approximately ~~$213.2~~$235.9 million, based on exchange rates as of ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. The term of the Construction Facility was through September ~~2019~~2020 and bore interest at a variable rate quoted by certain Australian banks plus 200 basis points. On May 22, 2019, we completed an offering of AUD 461.6 million, or ~~$317.7~~$351.2 million, based on exchange rates as of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, aggregate principal amount of the Non-Recourse Notes. The amortizing Non-Recourse Notes were issued by Ravenhall Finance Co Pty Limited in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Non-Recourse Notes were issued with a coupon and yield to maturity of 4.23% with a maturity date of March 31, 2042. The net proceeds from this offering were used to refinance the outstanding Construction Facility and to pay all related fees, costs and expenses associated with the transaction. As a result of the transaction, we incurred a $4.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to swap termination fees and unamortized deferred costs associated with the Construction Facility. Additionally, loan costs of approximately $7.5 million were incurred and capitalized in connection with the offering.

In August ~~2019,~~2020, we entered into two identical ~~Notes~~promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $44.3 million which are secured by loan agreements and mortgage and security agreements on certain real property and improvements. The terms of the ~~Notes~~promissory notes are through September 1, 2034 and bear interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points and are payable in monthly installments plus interest. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate to 4.22%. Included in the balance at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 is $0.7 million of deferred loan costs incurred in the transaction. Refer to Note 9 - Derivative Financial Instruments and Note 10 - Debt of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

In addition to the debt outstanding under the Credit Facility, the 6.50% Convertible Notes, the 6.00% Senior Notes, the 5.125% Senior Notes, ~~the 5.875.% Senior Notes due 2022~~ and the 5.875% Senior Notes, ~~due 2024,~~ we also have significant debt obligations which, although these obligations are non-recourse to us, require cash expenditures for debt service. Our significant debt obligations could have material consequences. See “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our High Level of Indebtedness” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. We are exposed to various commitments and contingencies which may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity. We also have guaranteed certain obligations for certain of our international subsidiaries. These non-recourse obligations, commitments and contingencies and guarantees are further discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

On August 16, 2019, ~~the Company's~~our Board ~~of Directors~~ authorized ~~the Company~~us to repurchase and/or retire a portion of ~~the~~our 6.00% Senior Notes due 2026, the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024, the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2023 and the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022 (collectively the "GEO Senior Notes") and ~~the Company's~~our term loan under ~~its~~our Amended Credit Agreement through cash purchases, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, up to an aggregate maximum of $100.0 million, subject to certain limitations through December 31, 2020. During the First Quarter 2021, the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022 were paid off in connection with the offering of the Convertible Notes discussed above. On February 11, 2021, our Board authorized a new repurchase program for repurchases/retirements of part of the above referenced Senior Notes and term loan, subject to certain limitations up to an aggregate maximum of $100.0 million through December 31, 2022.

During ~~2019,~~ the ~~Company~~First Quarter 2021, we repurchased ~~approximately $56.0~~$3.0 million in aggregate principal amount of ~~its 5.875%~~our 5.125% Senior Notes due ~~2022~~2023 at a weighted average price of ~~97.55%~~89.38% for a total cost of ~~$54.7~~$2.7 million. Additionally, we repurchased $17.2 million in aggregate principal amount of our 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 at a weighted average price of 79.51% for a total cost of $13.7 million. As a result of these repurchases, ~~the Company~~we recognized a net gain on extinguishment of debt of ~~$0.3 million.~~$3.8 million during the first quarter of 2021.

During the ~~six months ended June 30,~~First Quarter 2020, ~~the Company~~we repurchased ~~approximately~~ $5.5 million in aggregate principal amount of ~~its~~our 5.125% Senior Notes due 2023 at a weighted average price of 70.68% for a total cost of $3.9 million. As a result of these repurchases, ~~the Company~~we recognized a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.6 ~~million.~~million during the First Quarter 2020.

Refer to Note 10 - Debt of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on our indebtedness.

We consider opportunities for future business and/or asset acquisitions as we deem appropriate when market conditions present opportunities. If we are successful in our pursuit of any new projects, our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and borrowings under the existing Credit Facility may not provide sufficient liquidity to meet our capital needs and we could be forced to seek additional financing or refinance our existing indebtedness. There can be no assurance that any such financing or refinancing would be available to us on terms equal to or more favorable than our current financing terms, or at all. Additionally, the magnitude, severity

and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact the availability of opportunities for future business and/or asset acquisitions and market conditions generally. In the future, our access to capital and ability to compete for future capital intensive projects will also be dependent upon, among other things, our ability to meet certain financial covenants in the indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes, the indenture governing the 5.875% Senior Notes, ~~due 2022, the indenture governing the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024,~~ the indenture governing the 6.00% Senior Notes, ~~due 2026~~the indenture governing our Convertible Notes and our Credit Agreement. A substantial decline in our financial performance could limit our access to capital pursuant to these covenants and have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources and, as a result, on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition to these foregoing potential constraints on our capital, a number of state government agencies have been suffering from budget deficits and liquidity issues. While we were in compliance with our debt covenants as of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and we expect to continue to be in compliance with our debt covenants, if these constraints were to intensify, our liquidity could be materially adversely impacted as could our ability to remain in compliance with these debt covenants.

We may from time to time seek to ~~purchase stock under our stock buyback program and/or~~ purchase or retire our outstanding senior notes through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

~~While~~On April 7, 2021, we ~~don’t have any upcoming debt maturities until 2022, we recognize the importance of capital preservation and debt repayment. To this end, we have determined~~announced that ~~it would be in the best interests of the Company and~~ our ~~shareholders to reduce~~Board had immediately suspended our quarterly dividend payments with the goal of maximizing the use of cash flows to repay debt, deleverage and ~~apply~~internally fund growth. While we currently intend to maintain our ~~excess cash flow to further debt reduction. Based solely on the discretion~~corporate tax structure as a REIT, our Board is evaluating our corporate tax structure as a REIT. Our Board’s evaluation of our current corporate tax structure and our REIT status is expected to take into consideration, among other factors, potential changes to our financial operating performance, as well as, potential changes to the Code applicable to U.S. corporations and REITs. As a part of this evaluation, we have engaged financial advisors and legal advisors to assist in evaluating various capital structure alternatives. Our Board expects to conclude its evaluation in the fourth quarter of 2021, and ~~beginning with~~should our ~~October 2020~~Board determine to maintain our REIT status, an additional dividend payment ~~we expect~~may be required before year-end in order to pay a quarterly dividend of $.34 per share, or $1.36 per share annualized. With this new dividend target, we anticipate being able to apply $100 million dollars this year, and thereafter an average of $50 to $100 million dollars in excess cash flow annually towards debt repayment.meet the minimum REIT distribution requirements under the Code.

GEO’s 6.50% Convertible Notes, 6.00% Senior Notes, 5.125% Senior Notes ~~the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022~~ and the 5.875% Senior Notes ~~due 2024~~ are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by certain of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”).

Summarized financial information is provided for The GEO Group, Inc. (“Parent”) and the Subsidiary Guarantors on a combined basis in accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Rules 3-10 and 13-01. The accounting policies used in the preparation of this summarized financial information are consistent with those elsewhere in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company, except that intercompany transactions and balances of the Parent and Subsidiary Guarantor entities with non-guarantor entities have not been eliminated. Intercompany transactions between the Parent and Subsidiary Guarantors have been eliminated and equity in earnings from and investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries have not been presented.

As a REIT, we are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we annually distribute to our shareholders an amount equal to at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and by excluding any net capital gain). Generally, we expect to distribute all or substantially all of our REIT taxable income so as not to be subject to the income or excise tax on undistributed REIT taxable income. The amount, timing and frequency of distributions will be at the sole discretion of our Board and will be based upon various factors. As discussed above, on April 7, 2021, we announced that our Board had immediately suspended our quarterly dividend payments with the goal of maximizing the use of cash flows to repay debt, deleverage and internally fund growth. While we currently intend to maintain our corporate tax structure as a REIT, our Board is evaluating our corporate tax structure as a REIT.

We plan to fund all of our capital needs, including distributions of our REIT taxable income ~~in order~~necessary to maintain our REIT qualification should our Board determine to maintain our REIT status., and capital expenditures, from cash on hand, cash from operations, borrowings under our Credit Facility and any other financings which our management and Board, in their discretion, may consummate. Currently, our primary source of liquidity to meet these requirements is cash flow from operations and borrowings under our $900.0 million Revolver. Our management believes that our financial resources and sources of liquidity will allow us to manage the anticipated impact of COVID-19 on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. For the full-year ~~2020,~~2021, we have reduced our planned capital spending by deferring capital expenditure projects where possible and closely managing our working capital. ~~During the 3~~^rd ~~and 4~~^th ~~quarters, we will undertake~~We have completed our annual budgeting process and ~~expect to identify~~have identified cost savings at the corporate and facility level. Additionally, we ~~expect to identify~~have identified company-owned facilities that can be sold to government agencies or third-party individuals. Our management believes that cash on hand, cash flows from operations and availability under our Credit Facility will be adequate to support our capital requirements for ~~2020~~2021 as disclosed under “Capital Requirements” above. The challenges posed by COVID-19, as well as the current political environment, generally and on our business are evolving rapidly. Consequently, we will continue to evaluate our financial position in light of future developments, particularly those relating to the Executive Order and COVID-19.

We have a non-qualified deferred compensation agreement with our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The agreement, as amended, provides for a lump sum payment upon retirement, no sooner than age 55. Our CEO has reached age 55 and is eligible to receive the payment upon retirement. If our CEO had retired as of June 30, 2020, we would have had to pay him the lump sum amount of approximately $8.9 million (calculated as of February 26, 2020) in stock as discussed below.

~~On February 26, 2020 (the "Effective Date"), GEO and our CEO entered into the amended and restated executive retirement agreement that amends the CEO’s executive retirement agreement.~~

The amended and restated executive retirement agreement provides that upon our CEO’s retirement from the Company, we will pay a lump sum amount equal to $8,925,065 (determined as of February 26, 2020) (the “Grandfathered Payment”) which will be paid in the form of a fixed number of shares of our common stock. The Grandfathered Payment will be delayed for six months and a day following the effective date of the CEO’s termination of employment (“Six Month Delay”) in compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

On the Effective Date, an amount equal to the Grandfathered Payment was deemed invested in the Company’s common stock (“GEO Shares”). The number of the Company’s shares of common stock as of the Effective Date was calculated using the Grandfathered Payment divided by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Effective Date (rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares), which equals 553,665 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company repurchased shares of its outstanding common stock under its stock buyback program and contributed such shares to the trusts in order to fund the retirement benefit under the amended and restated executive retirement agreement. Additional shares of the Company’s common stock will be credited with a value equal to any dividends declared and paid on the Company’s shares of common stock, calculated by reference to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the payment date for such dividends (rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares).

The Company has established several trusts for the purpose of paying the retirement benefit pursuant to the amended and restated executive retirement agreement. The trusts shall be revocable “rabbi trusts” and the assets of the trusts shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency.

Except as discussed in the notes to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this ~~quarterly report~~Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents as of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 was ~~$106.7~~$320.7 million, compared to ~~$79.6~~$62.6 million as of ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

Cash provided by operating activities amounted to ~~$256.8~~$124.9 million for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 versus cash provided by operating activities of ~~$217.1~~$128.3 million for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. Cash provided by operating activities during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 was positively impacted by net income attributable to GEO, non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt issuance costs, discount and/or premium and other non-cash interest and stock-based compensation expense. Equity in earnings of affiliates, net of tax, ~~and~~ gain on extinguishment of debt and gain on sales of real estate negatively impacted cash. Changes in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets decreased in total by ~~$69.6~~$26.8 million, representing a positive impact on cash. The decrease was primarily driven by the favorable timing of billings and collections. Changes in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities increased by ~~$38.0~~$17.5 million which positively impacted cash. The increase was primarily driven by the timing of payments. Additionally, cash provided by operating activities for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 was positively impacted by a decrease in changes in contract receivable related to our correctional facility in Ravenhall, Australia of ~~$2.5~~$1.6 million which was a result of the timing of interest accruals and payments received towards the contract receivable.

Cash provided by operating activities during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 was positively impacted by net income attributable to GEO, non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt issuance costs, discount and/or premium and other non-cash interest and stock-based compensation expense. Equity in earnings of affiliates negatively impacted cash. Changes in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets decreased in total by ~~$38.9~~$53.2 million, representing a positive impact on cash. The decrease was primarily driven by the favorable timing of billings and collections. Changes in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities increased by ~~$2.7~~$7.2 million which positively impacted cash. The increase was primarily driven by the timing of payments. Additionally, cash provided by operating activities for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 was positively impacted by a decrease in changes in contract receivable related to our correctional facility in Ravenhall, Australia of ~~$3.2~~$1.2 million which was a result of the timing of interest accruals and payments received towards the contract receivable.

Cash used in investing activities of ~~$49.2~~$13.3 million during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 was primarily the result of capital expenditures of $27.3 million partially offset by proceeds from sales of real estate of $15.7 million. Cash used in investing activities of $25.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily the result of capital expenditures of ~~$53.5 million. Cash used in investing activities of $49.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily the result of capital expenditures of $55.4~~$30.7 million.

Cash used in financing activities during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 was approximately ~~$167.4~~$102.1 million compared to cash used in financing activities of ~~$173.6~~$100.1 million during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. Cash used in financing activities during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 was primarily the result of dividends paid of $30.5 million, payments on long-term debt of $298.5 million, payments on non-recourse debt of $1.8 million and payments of debt issuance costs of 9.6 million. These decreases were partially offset by proceeds from long-term debt of $240.0 million. Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily the result of dividends paid of ~~$116.2~~$57.7 million, payments on long-term debt of ~~$262.4~~$125.5 million, payments on non-recourse debt of ~~$2.9~~$1.4 million and repurchases of common stock of $9.0 million. These decreases were partially offset by proceeds from long-term debt of $225.6 million. Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily the result of dividends paid of $116.1 million, payments on long-term debt of $213.9 million and payments on non-recourse debt of $326.9 million. These decreases were partially offset by proceeds from long-term debt of $170.0 million and proceeds from non-recourse debt of $326.1$96.0 million.

Funds from Operations ("FFO") is a widely accepted supplemental non-GAAP measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate investment trusts. It is defined in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which defines FFO as net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders (computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding gains and losses from the cumulative effects of accounting changes, extraordinary items and sales of properties, and including adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

We also present Normalized Funds From Operations, or Normalized FFO, and Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, as supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of real estate investment trusts' operating performance.

Normalized FFO is defined as FFO adjusted for certain items which by their nature are not comparable from period to period or that tend to obscure the Company’s actual operating performance, including for the periods presented Covid-19 expenses, pre-tax, ~~gain/loss~~gain on extinguishment of debt, pre-tax, start-up expenses, pre-tax, close-out expenses, pre-tax and the tax effect of adjustments to FFO.

AFFO is defined as Normalized FFO adjusted by adding non-cash expenses such as non-real estate related depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, the amortization of debt issuance costs, discount and/or premium and other non-cash interest, and by subtracting recurring consolidated maintenance capital ~~expenditures.~~expenditures and other non-cash revenue and expenses.

Because of the unique design, structure and use of our secure facilities, processing centers and reentry centers, we believe that assessing the performance of our secure facilities, processing centers and reentry centers without the impact of depreciation or amortization is useful and meaningful to investors. Although NAREIT has published its definition of FFO, companies often modify this definition as they seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their distinctive operations. We have modified FFO to derive Normalized FFO and AFFO that meaningfully reflect our operations.

Our assessment of our operations is focused on long-term sustainability. The adjustments we make to derive the non-GAAP measures of Normalized FFO and AFFO exclude items which may cause short-term fluctuations in net income attributable to GEO but have no impact on our cash flows, or we do not consider them to be fundamental attributes or the primary drivers of our business plan and they do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. We may make adjustments to FFO from time to time for certain other income and expenses that do not reflect a necessary component of our operational performance on the basis discussed above, even though such items may require cash settlement. Because FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO exclude depreciation and amortization unique to real estate as well as non-operational items and certain other charges that are highly variable from year to year, they provide our investors with performance measures that reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, per diem rates, operating costs and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income attributable to GEO.

We believe the presentation of FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO provide useful information to investors as they provide an indication of our ability to fund capital expenditures and expand our business. FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO 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. Additionally, FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO are widely recognized measures in our industry as a real estate investment trust.

Our reconciliation of net income attributable to The GEO Group, Inc. to FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO for the three ended March 31, 2021 and ~~six months ended June 30,~~ 2020 ~~and 2019~~ is as follows (in thousands):

On January 26, 2021, President Biden signed an Executive Order directing the United States Attorney General not to renew DOJ contracts with privately operated criminal detention facilities, as consistent with applicable law. Two agencies of the DOJ, the BOP and USMS, utilize our services. The BOP houses inmates who have been convicted of federal crimes, and the USMS is generally responsible for detainees who are awaiting trial or sentencing in U.S. federal courts. Our contracts with the BOP for our company-owned 1,940-bed Great Plains Correctional Facility, our company-owned 1,732-bed Big Spring Correctional Facility, our company-owned 1,800-bed Flightline Correctional Facility, and our company-owned 1,800-bed North Lake Correctional Facility have renewal option periods that expire on May 31, 2021, November 30, 2021, November 30, 2021, and September 30, 2022, respectively. Additionally, the contracts with the BOP for the county owned and managed 1,800-bed Reeves County Detention Center I & II and the 1,376-bed Reeves County Detention Center III have renewal option periods that expire September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. We have a management agreement with Reeves County, Texas for the management oversight of these two county-owned facilities. The Great Plains, Big Spring, Flightline, North Lake Correctional Facilities, Reeves County Detention Center I & II and

Reeves County Detention Center III generated approximately $145 million in revenues for GEO during the year ended December 31, 2020. The BOP has experienced a decline in federal prison populations over the last several years, a trend that has more recently been accelerated by the COVID-19 global pandemic. As a result of the Executive Order and the decline in federal prison populations, our above described contracts with the BOP may not be renewed over the coming years. On March 5, 2021, we were notified by the BOP that it has decided to not exercise its contract renewal option for the company-owned, 1,940-bed Great Plains Correctional Facility in Oklahoma, when the contract base period expires on May 31, 2021. On March 25, 2021, we were notified that the BOP will terminate its contract with the county-owned and managed Reeves I & II effective May 10, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, our secure services contracts with the BOP accounted for approximately 12% of our total revenues.

The Executive Order only applies to agencies that are part of the DOJ, which includes the BOP and USMS. ICE facilities are not covered by the Executive Order as ICE is an agency of the Department of Homeland Security, not the DOJ. However, it is possible that the federal government could choose to take similar action on ICE facilities in the future. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, contracts for ICE Processing Centers, not including the Alternatives to Detention contract, accounted for approximately 23% of our total revenues.

As the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted communities across the United States and around the world, our employees and facilities have also been impacted by the spread of COVID-19. Ensuring the health and safety of our employees and all those in our care has always been our number one priority. As a longstanding provider of essential government services, we have experience with the implementation of best practices for the prevention, assessment, and management of infectious diseases.

From the ~~outset~~beginning of the global COVID-19 ~~global~~ pandemic, our corporate, regional, and field staff have ~~implemented and we continue to implement comprehensive~~taken steps to ~~address and~~ mitigate the risks of ~~COVID-19~~the novel coronavirus and have worked with our government partners to implement best practices consistent with the guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Ensuring the health and safety of all those inentrusted to our care and of our ~~employees.~~employees has always been our number one priority. GEO’s COVID-19 mitigation initiatives have included:

~~We will continue~~Along with implementing these measures, GEO is continuing to coordinate closely with our government agency partners and local health agencies to ensure the health and safety of all those in our care and our employees. We are grateful for our frontline employees, who are making sacrifices daily to provide care for all those in our facilities, during this unprecedented global pandemic. Information on

the steps we have taken to address and mitigate the risks of COVID-19 can be found at www.geogroup.com/COVID19. The information on or accessible through our website is not incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The COVID-19 pandemic and related government-imposed mandatory closures, the efficacy and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, shelter in-place restrictions and social distancing protocols and increased expenditures on engineering controls, personal protective equipment, diagnostic testing, medical expenses, temperature scanners, protective plexiglass barriers and increased sanitation have had, and will continue to have, a severe impact on global economic conditions and the environment in which we operate. Starting in late March and early April 2020, we began to observe negative impacts from the pandemic on our performance in our secure services business, specifically with our ICE Processing Centers and U.S. Marshals Facilities, as a result of declines in crossings and apprehensions along the Southwest border, a decrease in court sentencing at the federal level and reduced operational capacity to promote social distancing protocols which ~~is expected to~~have continued into 2021. The federal government has also put in place Title 42 public health restrictions at the Southwest border, which result in ~~an estimated revenue decline~~the immediate removal of ~~approximately 9 percent during 2020.~~single adults apprehended by Border Patrol. This reduced operational capacity and the Title 42 public health restrictions may result in reduced reliance by ICE on GEO for detention beds and/or ICE processing centers. Additionally, our reentry services business conducted through our GEO Care business segment has also been negatively impacted, specifically our residential reentry centers and non-residential day reporting programs were impacted by declines in programs due to lower levels of referrals by federal, state and local ~~agencies, which is expected to result in an estimated revenue decline of approximately 10 percent during 2020. Additionally, we~~agencies. We have also experienced the transmission of COVID-19 at most of our facilities continuing in the First Quarter of 2021 and to date in the second quarter of ~~2020 and to date in the third quarter of 2020.~~2021. If we are unable to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19 at our facilities, we could experience a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. We expect the continued impact of COVID-19 in the form of reduced operational capacity and decline in programs during the first part of 2021 with a slow recovery to more normalized operations by the end of 2021. Although we are unable to predict the duration or scope of the COVID-19 pandemic or estimate the extent of the overall future negative financial impact to our operating results, an extended period of depressed economic activity necessitated by actions to ~~combating~~combat the disease, and the severity and duration of the related global economic crisis may adversely impact our future financial performance.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to determine the future landscape of growth opportunities in the near term; however any positive trends may, to some extent, be adversely impacted by government budgetary constraints in light of the pandemic or any changes to a government's willingness to maintain or grow public-private partnerships in the future. While state finances overall were stable prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, future budgetary pressures may cause state agencies to pursue a number of cost savings initiatives which may include reductions in per diem rates and/or the scope of services provided by private operators or the decision to not re-bid a contract after expiration of the contract term. These potential cost savings initiatives could have a material adverse impact on our current operations and/or our ability to pursue new business opportunities. Additionally, if state budgetary constraints, as discussed above, persist or intensify, our state customers’ ability to pay us may be impaired and/or we may be forced to renegotiate our management contracts on less favorable terms and our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely impacted. We plan to actively bid on any new projects that fit our target profile for profitability and operational risk. Any positive trends in the industry may be offset by several factors, including budgetary constraints, contract modifications, contract terminations, contract non-renewals, contract re-bids and/or the decision to not re-bid a contract after expiration of the contract term and the impact of any other potential changes to the willingness or ability to maintain or grow public-private partnerships on the part of other government agencies. We believe we have a strong relationship with our government agency partners and we believe that we operate facilities that maximize security, safety and efficiency while offering our suite of GEO Continuum of Care services and resources.

Although we have historically had a relatively high contract renewal rate, there can be no assurance that we will be able to renew our expiring management contracts on favorable terms, or at all. Also, while we are pleased with our track record in re-bid situations, we cannot assure that we will prevail in any such future situations.

~~Recently~~ California enacted legislation that became effective on January 1, 2020 aimed at phasing out public-private partnership contracts for the operation of secure facilities within California and facilities outside of the ~~state~~State of California housing ~~state~~State of California inmates. ~~As previously announced, our~~Additionally, we have public-private partnership contracts in place with ICE, the BOP and the USMS relating to facilities located in California. Our contract for our Central Valley facility was ~~already~~ discontinued by the ~~California Department~~State of ~~Corrections and Rehabilitation~~California at the end of September ~~2019. Our contract with the Department of Corrections~~2019, and ~~Rehabilitation~~our two other California secure facility contracts for our Desert View ~~facility was discontinued as~~and Golden State Facilities expired during 2020. During the fourth quarter of ~~February 29, 2020~~2019, we signed two 15-year contracts with ICE for five company-owned facilities in California totaling 4,490 beds and ~~our~~a managed-only contract ~~also~~ with the USMS for the government-owned, 512-bed El Centro Service Processing Center in California. Additionally, we and the DOJ have filed separate legal actions challenging the constitutionality of the attempted ban on new federal contracts entered into after the effective date of the California ~~Department~~law. Currently, the State of ~~Corrections~~Arizona, State of New Mexico, the State of

Nevada, the State of New York and ~~Rehabilitation,~~the State of Washington have proposed legislation similar to the California law. Recently the State of Washington approved a measure banning the use of public-private detention centers in the state. GEO’s contract for ~~our Golden State~~the company-owned 1,575-bed Northwest ICE Processing Center in Washington has a renewal option period that expires in 2025. The facility ~~was discontinued by~~generates approximately $64 million in annualized revenues for GEO.

Hill Correctional Facility located in Thornton, Pennsylvania and transition the operations to the BOP. The Pennsylvania facility generates approximately $46 million in annualized revenue for GEO.

Internationally, we are exploring ~~a number of~~ opportunities in our current markets and will continue to actively bid on any opportunities that fit our target profile for profitability and operational risk. On March 29, 2018, we announced that our transportation joint venture in the United Kingdom, GEOAmey, signed a contract with Scottish Prison Service for the provision of court custody and escort services in Scotland. The contract has a base term of eight years effective January 26, 2019 with a renewal option of four years and is expected to

have an average annual revenue of approximately $39 million. Also, we are pleased to have been awarded a ten-year contract renewal for the continued delivery of secure transportation under our GEOAmey joint venture in the United Kingdom. Total revenue over the ten-year period is expected to be approximately $760 million. In New South Wales, Australia, we ~~are developing~~have developed a 489-bed expansion at the Junee Correctional Centre which ~~is expected to be~~was substantially completed during the third quarter of 2020. We ~~are~~have also ~~constructing~~constructed a 137-bed expansion at the Fulham Correctional Centre in Victoria, Australia which was also ~~expected to be~~substantially completed during the third quarter of 2020. Additionally, our Australian subsidiary is currently in negotiation discussions with the State of Victoria, Australia to increase the capacity at our Ravenhall Correctional Centre by an additional 300 beds increasing the capacity of the facility to 1,600 beds. The 300-bed capacity increase is expected to generate incremental annualized revenues of approximately $19 million. With respect to the Parklea Correctional Centre in Australia, we were unfortunately unsuccessful during the current competitive rebid process and transitioned the management contract in March of 2019. In addition, we transitioned the Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre to government operation in the State of Queensland, Australia at the end of June 2020.

With respect to our reentry services, electronic monitoring services, and community-based services business conducted through our GEO Care business segment, we are currently pursuing a number of business development opportunities. Related to opportunities for community-based reentry services, we are working with our existing federal, state, and local clients to leverage new opportunities for both residential reentry facilities as well as non-residential day reporting centers. However, in light of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we may not be successful. We continue to expend resources on informing federal, state and local governments about the benefits of public-private partnerships, and we anticipate that there will be new opportunities in the future as those efforts continue to yield results. We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on any suitable opportunities that become available in this area.

Operating expenses consist of those expenses incurred in the operation and management of our contracts to provide services to our governmental clients. Labor and related costs represented ~~58.2%~~59.8% and ~~57.4%~~57.5% of our operating expenses during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively. Additional significant operating expenses include food, utilities and medical costs. During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ operating expenses totaled ~~76.0%~~74.3% and ~~74.3%~~76.3%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues. We expect our operating expenses as a percentage of revenues in ~~2020~~2021 will be impacted by the opening of any new or existing idle facilities as a result of the cost of transitioning and/or start-up operations related to a facility opening. During ~~2020,~~2021, we will incur carrying costs for facilities that are currently vacant. Additionally, we have ~~currently~~ increased our spending on engineering controls, personal protective equipment, diagnostic testing, medical expenses, temperature scanners, protective plexiglass barriers and increased sanitation as a result of COVID-19 and expect to incur several millions of dollars in such ~~non-recurring~~ costs in ~~2020.~~

As of June 30, 2020, our worldwide operations include the management and/or ownership of approximately 93,000 beds at 125 facilities, including idle facilities, projects under development and recently awarded contracts, and also include the provision of community supervision services for more than 210,000 individuals, including approximately 100,000 through an array of technology products including radio frequency, GPS, and alcohol monitoring devices.2021.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of corporate management salaries and benefits, professional fees and other administrative expenses. During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ general and administrative expenses totaled ~~8.3%~~8.4% and ~~7.7%~~8.9%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues. We expect general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues in ~~2020~~2021 to remain consistent or decrease as a result of cost savings ~~initiatives. We expect business development costs~~initiatives as well as less travel, marketing and other corporate administrative expenses primarily due to ~~remain consistent or increase slightly as we pursue additional business development opportunities in all~~the impacts of ~~our business lines. We also plan to continue expending resources from time to time on~~ the ~~evaluation of potential acquisition targets.~~COVID-19 pandemic.

We are currently marketing approximately ~~1,000~~7,500 vacant beds at ~~one~~six of our ~~GEO~~U.S. Secure Services and ~~one~~two of our GEO Care idle facilities to potential customers. The annual net carrying cost of our idle facilities in ~~2020~~2021 is estimated to be ~~$1.6~~$8.2 million, inclusive of revenues earned on certain facilities during the first quarter of 2021 before they became idle, including depreciation expense of ~~$0.8~~$9.0 million. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, these ~~two~~eight facilities had a combined net book value of ~~$20.5~~$217.7 million. We currently do not have any firm commitment or agreement in place to activate the remaining facilities. Historically, some facilities have been idle for multiple years before they received a new contract award. These idle facilities are included in the ~~GEO~~U.S. Secure Services and GEO Care segments. The per diem rates that we charge our clients often vary by contract across our portfolio. However, if the ~~two~~eight remaining idle facilities were to be activated using our ~~GEO~~U.S. Secure Services and GEO Care average per diem rates in ~~2020~~2021 (calculated as the ~~GEO~~U.S. Secure Services and GEO Care revenue divided by the number of ~~GEO~~U.S. Secure Services and GEO Care mandays) and based on the average occupancy rate in our facilities through ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we would expect to receive incremental annualized revenue of

approximately ~~$25~~$167 million and an annualized increase in earnings per share of approximately ~~$0.03~~$0.20 to ~~$0.06~~$0.25 per share based on our average operating margins.

We are exposed to market risks related to changes in interest rates with respect to our Credit Facility. Payments under the Credit Facility are indexed to a variable interest rate. Based on borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility of approximately ~~$1,266~~$1,394 million and approximately ~~$62~~$59.4 million in outstanding letters of credit, as of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, for every one percent increase in the average interest rate applicable to the Credit Facility, our total annual interest expense would increase by approximately ~~$13~~$14 million.

Additionally, we invest our cash in a variety of short-term financial instruments to provide a return. These instruments generally consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less. While these instruments are subject to interest rate risk, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

We are also exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar, and the Australian dollar, the South African Rand and the British Pound currency exchange rates. Based upon our foreign currency exchange rate exposure at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, every 10 percent change in historical currency rates would have approximately a ~~$5.5~~$7.0 million effect on our financial position and approximately a ~~$1.5~~$0.9 million impact on our results of operations during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to as the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. On the basis of this review, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC, under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

It should be noted that the effectiveness of our system of disclosure controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations inherent in any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing and evaluating the controls and procedures, the assumptions used in identifying the likelihood of future events, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect all errors or fraud. As a result, by its nature, our system of disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

Our management is responsible to report any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management believes that there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

The information required herein is incorporated by reference from Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”) and Item 1A of Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,~~ 2020 (the ~~"2020 Q1~~“2020 Form ~~10-Q")~~10-K includes a detailed discussion of the risk factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future prospects. Set forth below are additional risk factors that supplement the ~~material changes to~~ existing risk factors previously disclosed in the Q12020 Form ~~10-Q and 2019 Form~~ 10-K. ~~The information below updates the existing risk factors and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors in our 2019 Form 10-K and the 2020 Q1 Form 10-Q.~~ We encourage you to read these risk factors in their entirety.

We may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of suspending our quarterly dividend payments and undertaking an evaluation of our corporate tax structure and capital structure.

Our Board has suspended GEO's quarterly dividend payments with the goal of maximizing the use of cash flows to repay debt, deleverage and internally fund growth. We may be unable to realize the anticipated benefits of suspending our quarterly dividend payments within our anticipated timeframe, or at all. While we currently intend to maintain our corporate tax structure as a REIT, the Board is evaluating GEO's corporate tax structure as a REIT. As a part of this evaluation, we have engaged financial advisors and legal advisors to assist in evaluating various capital structure alternatives. The ~~current pandemic~~Board expects to conclude its evaluation in the fourth quarter of 2021, but the Board may be unable to complete its evaluation within this timeframe. Moreover, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement a new corporate tax structure or capital structure or realize any anticipated benefits from such implementation within our contemplated timeframe, or at all. The implementation of any new corporate tax structure or capital structure may negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or the market price of our common stock.

The conditional exchange features of the ~~novel coronavirus,~~Convertible Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition.

If one of the exchange contingencies of the Convertible Notes is triggered, holders of the Convertible Notes will be entitled to exchange the Convertible Notes at any time during specified periods. If one or ~~COVID-19, has~~more holders elect to exchange their Convertible Notes, we would be required to settle a portion of or all of our exchange obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity and ~~we expect it will continue to adversely impact and disrupt~~various aspects of our business (including our credit ratings and the trading price of the Convertible Notes). In addition, even if holders do not elect to exchange their Convertible Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.

The accounting method for convertible debt securities that may be settled in cash, such ~~impacts may~~as the Convertible Notes, could have a material ~~adverse~~ effect on our ~~results~~reported financial results.

Under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, or ASC 470-20, an entity must separately account for the liability and equity components of ~~operations, financial condition and liquidity.~~

~~Since being reported~~the convertible debt instruments (such as the Convertible Notes) that may be settled entirely or partially in ~~December 2019, COVID-19 has spread globally, including~~cash upon conversion in a manner that reflects the issuer’s economic interest cost. The effect of ASC 470-20 on the accounting for the Convertible Notes is that the equity component is required to ~~every state~~be included in the ~~United States. On March 11, 2020,~~additional paid-in capital section of stockholders’ equity on our consolidated balance sheet at issuance and the ~~World Health Organization declared COVID-19~~value of the equity component is required to be treated as a ~~pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19.~~

~~Most~~discount for purposes of our facilities have experienced cases of COVID-19 in both our staff and individuals entrusted to our care. We have taken a number of comprehensive steps and measures to mitigate the transmission and risks of COVID-19 which we have outlined in the 2020 Q1 Form 10-Q and this Form 10-Q, including issuing guidance to all of our facilities that is consistent with the guidance issued for correctional and detention facilities by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; updating our policies and procedures to include best practicesaccounting for the ~~prevention, assessment, and management~~debt component of ~~COVID-19, including~~ the implementation of quarantine and cohorting procedures to isolate confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19; ordering and receiving COVID-19 swab kits; purchasing and distributing personal protective equipment, including facemasks to all staff and individuals in our care at our facilities; and increasing the frequency of distribution of personal hygiene products, including soap, shampoo and body wash and tissue paper. We will continue to evaluate and refine these steps and measures as appropriate and necessary based on updated guidance by the CDC and best practices. Additionally, we have increased our spending in personal protective equipment, diagnostic testing, medical expenses, temperature scanners, protective plexiglass barriers and increased sanitation as a result of COVID-19 and expect to incur several millions of dollars in such costs in 2020. However, these steps and measures may prove to be insufficient in stopping or slowing the transmission of COVID-19 and the risks it poses to our staff and individuals entrusted to our care or may result in us spending more in additional expenditures than currently contemplated. If we were to be unable to fully staff our secure facilities, processing centers and community reentry centers due to confirmed or suspected COVID-19 cases, it could result in negative consequences, including fines, other penalties, or contract cancellations. Additionally, our government partners could require us to transfer inmates or detainees to other facilities in the event of a COVID-19 outbreak at one of our facilities.

Certain states and cities in the U.S. have also responded to COVID-19 by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter in place” rules, and restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate.Convertible Notes. As a result, ~~the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting almost every industry directly or indirectly. Even though~~ we ~~have continued our operations as an essential government service provider, the spread~~will be required to record a greater amount of ~~COVID-19 has resulted in lower occupancy at a number of our facilities and programs beginning in late March and continuing during the second quarter and to date~~non-cash interest expense in the third quarter and is therefore expected to result in lower full year revenues, primarily for our ICE and U.S. Marshal facilities and our GEO Reentry Services business. Our ICE and U.S. Marshals facilities have experienced lower overall occupancy as a result of declines in crossings and apprehensions along the Southwest border, as well as a decrease in court and sentencing activity at the federal level. Additionally, the federal government issued COVID-19 operational guidance recommending the reduction to 75% capacity at ICE Processing Centers where possible to promote social distancing practices. The Federal Bureau of Prisons has also experienced a decline in overall populations in partcurrent periods presented as a result of the ~~COVID-19 pandemic. Certain government agencies have released,~~amortization of the discounted carrying value of the Convertible Notes to their face amount over the term of the Convertible Notes. We will report larger net losses or lower net income (or greater net loss) in our financial results because ASC 470-20 requires interest to include both the current period’s amortization of the debt discount and the instrument’s coupon interest rate, if any, which could adversely affect our reported or future financial results, the trading price of our common stock and the trading price of the Convertible Notes.

In addition, under certain circumstances, convertible debt instruments (such as the Convertible Notes) that may be ~~considering releasing,~~settled entirely or partly in cash may be ~~under pressure to release, certain inmates and detainees as a result~~accounted for utilizing the treasury stock method for earnings per share purposes, the effect of ~~COVID-19.

We expect lower occupancy levels to continue and as a result we expect to experience annual revenue declines~~common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes are not included in ~~2020~~the calculation of ~~approximately 9% within our GEO Secure Services and approximately 10% for our GEO Reentry Services.

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board published an accounting standards update, which amends these accounting standards. Under these amendments, in most cases, an entity will no longer be required to separately account for the liability and equity components of ~~COVID-19 on~~convertible debt instruments, such as the Convertible Notes. This could have the impact of reducing non-cash interest expense, and thereby increasing net income.

Additionally, once the amendments become effective for our ~~business, as well as actions we have taken~~financial statements, the treasury stock method for calculating earnings per share will no longer be allowed for convertible debt instruments whose principal amount may be settled using shares. Rather, taking into account the ability to settle the principal amount of the convertible debt instruments in shares, the if-converted method will be required in respect of the Convertible Notes, which would decrease our diluted net income per share. We cannot be sure whether the amendments, or other changes that may ~~take, or decisions we have~~be made ~~or may make, as a consequence of COVID-19, may result in legal claims or litigation against us. For example, on July 7, 2020, a purported shareholder class action lawsuit was filed against~~to the ~~Company, our CEO, and CFO, alleging that the Company, our CEO, and CFO, made false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies, specifically~~current accounting standards related to the Company's COVID-19 response procedures. The lawsuit seeks damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, expert fees, other costs, and such other relief as the court may deem proper. While we intend to take all necessary steps to vigorously defend the Company, our CEO and CFO, we cannot guarantee that the lawsuit will be resolved in a manner favorable to the CompanyConvertible Notes or that it will not result in financial liability or adversely affect the Company's reputation. In addition, litigation can be costly, regardless of the outcome. Any financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by COVID-19 related litigationotherwise, could have ~~a material~~an adverse impact on our ~~business,~~ financial ~~condition and results~~statements. These amendments will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted as early as January 1, 2021. We are planning to early adopt the amendments at this time.

~~The COVID-19 pandemic has had repercussions across regional and global economies and financial markets. The outbreak of COVID-19~~our common stock or additional instruments exchangeable or convertible into our common stock, including in many countries, including the United States, has significantly adversely impacted global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. Currently, the capital markets and credit markets have been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and our ability to obtain any additional financing on favorable terms, or at all, is not guaranteed and largely dependent upon evolving market conditions and other factors. Depending on the magnitude and durationconnection with exchanges of the ~~COVID-19 pandemic,~~Convertible Notes, which may materially and adversely affect the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity could be material. Even when the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience significant adverse effects to our business as a result of its global economic impact, including any economic recession or downturn and the possibility this will result in government budgetary constraints or any changes to a government's willingness to maintain or grow public-private partnerships in the future.

We are not restricted from issuing additional shares of our common stock or other instruments exchangeable or convertible into our common stock. We cannot predict the size of future issuances or the effect, if any, that they may ~~vary substantially.~~

~~The trading prices of equity securities issued by REITs~~ have ~~historically been affected by changes in market interest rates. One of the factors that may influence~~on the market price for our common stock. If we issue more of our common stock or additional instruments exchangeable or convertible into or exercisable for our common stock, it may materially and adversely affect the price of our common stock isand, in turn, the ~~annual yield from distributions on~~price of the Convertible Notes. Furthermore, the exchange, conversion or exercise of some or all of the Convertible Notes or such other instruments may dilute the ownership interests of existing shareholders, and any sales in the public market of shares of our common stock ~~as compared to yields on other financial instruments. An increase in~~issuable upon any such exchange, conversion or exercise could adversely affect prevailing market ~~interest rates, or a decrease in our distributions to shareholders, may lead prospective purchasers~~prices of our common stock or the Convertible Notes. In addition, the anticipated issuance and sale of substantial amounts of our common stock or the anticipated exchange, conversion or exercise of securities into shares ~~to demand a higher annual yield, which~~of our common stock could ~~reduce~~depress the ~~market~~ price of our common stock.

~~Other factors that could affect the market price of our common stock include the following:~~
