12. BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

Operating and Reporting Segments

The Company's segments are determined as those operations whose results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and

assess performance. The Company conducts its business through four reportable business segments: the U.S. Secure Services segment; the Electronic Monitoring and Supervision Services segment; the Reentry Services segment; and the International Services segment. The Company has identified these four reportable segments to reflect the current view that the Company operates four distinct business lines, each of which constitutes a material part of its overall business.

The U.S. Secure Services segment primarily encompasses U.S.-based secure services business. The Electronic Monitoring and Supervision Services segment, which conducts its services in the United States, represents services provided to adults for monitoring services and evidence-based supervision and treatment programs for community-based parolees, probationers, and pretrial defendants. The Reentry Services segment, which conducts its services in the United States represents services provided to adults for residential and non-residential treatment, educational and community-based programs, pre-release and half-way house programs. The International Services segment primarily consists of secure services operations in South Africa and Australia. Segment disclosures below (in thousands) reflect the results of continuing operations. All transactions between segments are eliminated. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

Revenue and operating income for each segment are used by the CODM to assess the performance of each segment in a financial period. The performance of the operating segments is evaluated based on segment operating income, which is defined as income before income taxes before the following: unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense, net, and loss on extinguishment of debt not allocated to the operating segments. The CODM uses segment operating income as the measure to make resource (including financial or capital resources) allocation decisions for each segment, predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly and quarterly basis when evaluating performance for each segment and making decisions about capital allocation.

Summarized financial information for the Company's segments is shown in the following tables including a reconciliation of the Company’s total operating income from its reportable segments to the Company’s income before income taxes and equity in earnings of affiliates, in each case, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
