Please go ahead, sir.

Thank you and welcome everyone to Corrections Corporation's fourth quarter earnings call, as well as our full year earnings call. And with me today is Todd Mullenger, Bruce Scarf (ph), Dave Garfinkle, our Controller and Board member, Bill Andrews. So we will get started with some opening comments by Todd.

Thank you, John. Good morning everyone. Moving straight to the discussion of our financial results, in the fourth quarter of 2008, we generated $0.32 of EPS compared to EPS for last year's Q4 of $0.28, an increase in EPS of 40%. For the full year, we generated $1.20 of EPS compared to $1.06 in the prior year, an increase of 13%. EBITDA in Q4 increased 17% to $107 million for the quarter while full year EBITDA increased 14% to $394 million. Adjusted free cash flow for the quarter increased 38% to $65 million. This brings adjusted free cash flow for the full year to $256 million or $2.03 per share, an increase of 24% over the same period last year. Part of the increase in free cash flow is due to the unusually low amount of cash taxes paid as a result of certain one-time tax benefits derived in 2008 and lower year-over-year maintenance CapEx. Focusing on depreciation, as we mentioned in the past, unlike other industries, our depreciation expense is not reflective of the maintenance CapEx that we will incur to maintain our facilities. For example, depreciation and amortization expense totaled $91 million for 2008 versus only 35 million of facility maintenance and IT CapEx for the year. So as we commented before, we believe adjusted free cash flow is in many ways a better measure than EPS of the return we are delivering to our shareholders. Total revenue for this year's fourth quarter was up nearly 9% over the last year, an increase of $33.6 million. Total compensated man-days for the quarter increased 4.1%. Revenue per compensated man-day for the quarter increased 5.2% to $58.21. For the full year, total revenues increased nearly 10%, driven by a 4.5% increase in per diems and a 5.5% increase in average…

Thank you, Todd. Hope that helped many of you with the first quarter and full year guidance for 2009. I will briefly touch on our two major market areas as I typically do: first, addressing the federal market. We saw a net growth of 1,726 net new inmates and detainees for 2009. That actually was a decline of that 273 in the fourth quarter but we have had a growth of over 218 in January. So pretty much recaptured the fourth quarter growth. We are like everyone watching the economic stimulus package, trying to get updates several times a day as to what's happening. So it's impossible to provide any clarity of what possible impact it would be to our federal customers. And I might just go ahead and mention our state customers, the one thing that as Todd alluded to. I think most states are waiting anxiously to see what the stimulus might do for them and many governors are postponing their final budgets until they have clarity around there. So consequently, even though there have been four major solicitations by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, two of which are for up to 4,000 new beds as well as 4,000 beds for the two contracts we currently have that expire in the last quarter of 2010. We are seeing no movement, and as we have mentioned on the last several calls, it is our assessment that nothing will happen as it relates to any probable award until the Federal Bureau of Prisons has a permanent budget. The projections that we've given historically of the difference between their demand over the three years as it against the beds that they are bringing online or have planned through acquisitions, surely is down some 6,000 short of what they need. And that's…

Thank you. (Operator Instructions). We will take our first question from ManAv Patnaik. Please go ahead.

Hey guys. First question, you talked about in your discussions with several of the states with respect to them looking to maybe reduce per diems. So firstly, can you give us an idea of what sort of declines, like what sort of percentage reductions are they looking for? And with relation to that, you also mentioned that you have a lot of new customers and I guess existing ones too, looking for more bed space. Just wanted your thoughts around... obviously some states give higher per diems than maybe some of your existing states who might be looking for a pricing decrease. What are your thoughts on balancing maybe taking higher customer... I mean a higher per diem customer over an existing low per diem customer already?

First to the first part of your question. We've received communications from about half a dozen states around actions they may be taking to balance their budgets. We would prefer not to identify them as we're in the middle of discussions and negotiations with those states on things we could do to offset any per diem reductions, for example, through the reduction of service levels to offset some or all of those costs. And that's part of the discussions we're having right now. And so that's the part of the uncertainty around estimating the impact those changes could have on our forecast for 2009. With your question around trying to manage populations towards higher per diems, we may have that opportunity. I think as we said in the past, so we got 20 state customers, those relationships are long-term in nature, don't have 10,000 customers standing behind those... current 20 customers to take those beds, so it's a balancing act. And we're looking at the long-term growth prospects for each one of those customers. So while a current state customer might be experiencing difficulty and might be reaching out towards assistance to help them manage their budget deficits, we want to be mindful not to damage the long-term relationship but it will be a balancing act. That's not to say we won't make some decisions to provide beds currently available to an existing customer to a new or competing customer, but it is a balancing act.

John, I guess in another way, could you give us a breakout of what percentage of your contracts right now are take or pay versus per diem and how many of those are sort of CPI baked into the contract?

Here we got a relatively small percentage of take-or-pay contracts. I don't have the exact percentage but it's a relatively small percentage, mostly our... those are mostly our federal contracts. And I am sorry, what was the second part of your question?

Just how many of your contracts sort of has CPI baked in or is it regularly you just seem to go to the legislators to request price increases?

Yeah, it's a mixed bag. Some of the contracts specify a percentage. Some are tied loosely to CPI, some specify a specific dollar amount in next year's per diem. But they are all ultimately end of the day subject to negotiation as our customers have the ability to, in theory, cancel a contract due to a lack of appropriation of funds. So that provides some leverage in that area. So most... the vast majority of our contracts have some form of escalator incorporated into them. The question is what situation will the states find themselves in budget wise? And will they reach out to us trying to renegotiate these per diems lower or foregoing a per diem increase or an outright reduction in per diems? And that's the uncertainty we are dealing with right now, a lack of visibility in that area.

Got it. And with respect to your guidance, I guess you mentioned that California has told you guys that they expect a ramp up to the 8100 beds by May. Is that... then should we assume is that baked into your assumptions or you are not going to haircut that given sort of them coming slower than expected for FY '08? And also with relation to ramp-ups what are the like states are you sort of expecting ramp ups from for at least the first half of the year?

As it relates to California as you might imagine, we did hedge a little bit assuming that they might not hit their schedules perfectly. Again, as we've tried to say over and over again, we really can't time that we do our best to manage around it that. So we have prepared ourselves that the ramp up might not come quite as at the schedule they have given us, although they are working very hard to do it. As it relates to other customers that we're bringing online, I don't think that we have...

I think we'd probably prefer not to parse the guidance at that level of detail. I have actually given the uncertainty we are dealing with in the current environment.

Okay. And in other way then I guess with the number of beds that you have outstanding like up to 8700 that you brought online, for example, how many of those are sort of contracted to ramp up over time?

Well again, most of the beds that we are bringing online have some tact to an existing customer relationship. But we are again not going to be, I guess, trying to forecast or try to express what we think the utilization of those beds would be over time.

Okay, fair enough. And one last question, I will jump back. Could you just remind us firstly on, if there are any other renewals or rebids coming up in '09 and also sort of what is the restriction period in terms of you being able to go back and buyback shares?

Well, we have the authority to repurchase up to $150 million in the aggregate through December 31, 2009.

I meant like, so after earnings, how many days you have to wait before you can...

That's probably a level of detail we probably don't want to get into. We do have some windows but you can work around those windows by implementing a planned sale. So that's probably all the detail we want to give you around the share repurchase.

All right, fine.

On your question on renewals?

Yes.

As a reminder in our supplemental, we list out in the back of our supplemental disclosure which you can find on our website a list by facility of the major contracts, for each one of those facilities and the base term and the number of renewals and when those expire.

Okay, fair enough. Thank you guys.

Thank you. We'll take our next question from Kevin Campbell. Please go ahead.

Thanks. I was hoping you guys could talk a little bit more about your guidance, help us understand a couple of assumptions. I recognize you don't want to get into any of the details on specific customers. But can you help us understand perhaps what your pricing and volumes assumptions are in general? So just to start.

That's a pretty broad question Kevin. I am not sure how I would address that in a concise way.

Well maybe more specifically, are you guys expecting per diems or pricing to contract year-over-year in your guidance and specifically same question on volumes?

Yeah, well I think as we've indicated we are cautious on our outlook for 2009. The general economic uncertainty and lack of visibility around government budgets and future spending by government customers makes it difficult to forecast through 2009. And it's very difficult to assess the actions our customers may take to balance their budgets. And that makes (ph) the impact of their actions may have on our existing contracts. There is the potential for impact from reduced per diems or our customers managing their populations lower. However, we have little clarity around the likelihood at this point in time of those changes and the magnitude of the impact for any of those changes. So again it makes it difficult to forecast revenues and EBITDA. But what I'd say is we've made our best estimates of the potential actions that may take in these areas and build that into our guidance.

But is it fair to say that to some extent perhaps in the low end you might be assuming pricing cuts from some customer than at the high end, no cuts and same thing on volumes. Perhaps in the low end you're assuming volume pressures or removal of inmates and on the high end you're not, would it be safe to say that you'll be looking at it from that perspective?

Well again, I think we've factored in the best we can some risk around impacts on per diems and volumes both in the high and the low end of the range.

Okay. Looking at the fourth quarter EBITDA that you guys reported and I guess if you back out the 3.5 million or so in incremental savings on the workers' comp and the healthcare expenses you did around $104 million. Why... what should we assume that... it seems like in your guidance that obviously you can't annualize that figure because that would be sort of 416 number versus your guidance of flat EBITDA of around 390. So why should we assume that is going to deteriorate from the fourth quarter levels particularly when you saw pretty strong pricing and volume growth in the fourth quarter additionally with pretty good cost control?

Well, let me make sure I am clear to nature of your question. Are you comparing Q4 to Q1 or just?

For 2009 in general and I recognize Q1 has some of those issues with the taxes. But just in general it seems like there is a pressure on EBITDA. And given the results that you've seen particularly in Q4 when you saw good pricing and good volume growth and you were able to contain costs, I think to roughly 3% growth. It seems like your guidance then is assuming deterioration of EBITDA from the fourth quarter level which doesn't seem like what we have seen... doesn't seem to channel I guess with what we have seen in your action results?

Let's talk about that for a minute. It's a good question. First, we were pretty general in our comment around EBITDA.

Yes.

By stating it will be comparable to 2009. So we didn't put a firm number out there in terms of guidance, all right? Next, as we just talked about, we've indicated we're cautious on our outlook for 2009, the general economic uncertainty, the general economic uncertainty, the lack of visibility around government budgets, future spending by our government customers, makes it very difficult to forecast the EBITDA. And again very difficult to assess the actions our customers may take to balance their budgets, the potential for impact of reduced per diems and populations with little clarity around the likelihood of any changes and the magnitude of those changes again makes it difficult to forecast revenues and thereby EBITDA. So we've made our best estimates of the potential actions states may take in these areas. Of those we mentioned on the last call and in our current press release, we're seeing some reductions in inmate population from Minnesota, Washington and Wyoming. We also have the negative impact of operating carrying costs on the beds that we've completed that remain vacant. So we got property taxes, insurance, utilities, we've got the scope from the crew at vacant facility like Adams County or recurring expenses on those vacant beds. So for example, on our new Adams County facility, we will incur approximately, call it, $2 million of operating carrying costs on an annual basis until that facility is occupied. And then while there are a number of RFPs out in the street for new beds, you've got Arizona with an active RFPs, state of California with their RFI, Bureau of Prisons, and the state of Georgia, no one is likely to move forward on any procurement of beds until such time as their budget issues are resolved. And they know what actions may be taken that impact their individual corrections upon their budgets. And as we've already discussed it's very difficult to assess what steps may be taken and when which in turn makes it challenging to forecast new contract awards. So in summary, I think I would say, having made the decision to provide guidance even in light of the economic uncertainty and lack of visibility, we have provided the best estimate possible based on the information available till today, while trying to factor in some consideration for the unknown.

Okay. Looking at guidance as what I'm assuming that doesn't include... you're not assuming you are going to win any new contracts, Cara '09 in your numbers. Is that correct?

Well, Cara, they haven't made an award yet and typically when the BOP makes an award they give a notice to proceed and that's 120 days from those to proceed before we start ramping up. So I didn't say we'd award a contract that could actually have a negative affect on earnings for 2009 if they were to delay and you start ramping up in advance of receiving inmates. Other than that I'm not sure we want to comment on the particular assumptions we made around few contract awards or bed populations in general from specific customers.

Okay. And last question I've got is did it assume any level of share repurchases or did it assume your state level of where you are today?

Yeah I guess I'd say around share repurchases. The potential of our repurchase shares was one of the variables we considered when developing guidance. However since our repurchase plan is not a systematic plan but rather one based on ROI analysis. And it will be executed under the overarching objective of maintaining liquidity. It's difficult to forecast exact number of shares we would repurchase between now and the end of the year. But again, it was one of the variables we considered when developing guidance.

Okay. I will jump back in the queue. Thank you.

Thank you. We'll take our next question from Emily Shanks. Please go ahead.

Hi, good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I just wanted to ask EBITDA first. Are you guys still utilizing four times as your maximum threshold for leverage for internal operating purposes?

We haven't changed that threshold. So still maximum debt to EBITDA leverage of new beds in four times. And right now we are setting it three times with six times interest coverage. So very fortunate in that regard.

Yes, you are. And then also as you look at this coming year, I appreciate the visibility is quite limited. But should your CapEx levels remain per your guidance, what is your priority with free cash flow as you look at either repurchasing debt, paying down debt buying back shares and so forth, how are you looking at that?

Let me answer that by commenting, I don't think we are over leveraged at three times debt to EBITDA. We like the current cost of capital we have in place on our existing high yield debt outstanding, so that's an average weighted cost of 7%. The revolver we are borrowing at LIBOR plus 75, so call it, at 3 month LIBOR at one in a quarter 2%. So the idea around paying down debt isn't particularly attractive given our current leverage ratios and the current cost of capital. And then on top of that one of our primary priorities would be maintaining liquidity. And then after that we've got an ROI based capital allocation process will follow, whether it's repurchasing shares or investing in new beds.

Great, thank you. And then if I could ask... one last one. As you look across your state customers, do you do any type of credit screening work or how do you monitor sort of their financial viability?

Yes, we are obviously monitoring that. 12 months ago we were monitoring as closely as we are today. That said, it is very difficult to envision a scenario where the federal government would allow a state to go into bankruptcy. If they were willing to let Bear Stearns go into bankruptcy. They are probably not willing to let one of the states go into bankruptcy, but we do monitor it.

Okay. They did let Lehman go.

I understand they built the firewall behind Lehman. Yes they did.

All right. Thanks Todd.

Thank you. We'll take our next question from Mark Paulstar (ph). Please go ahead.

Good morning, thanks. I was wondering if you could comment on federal populations. And just kind of remind us how the dynamics are different if they are between U.S. Marshalls, ICE and BOP, it seemed like the U.S. Marshalls was the biggest decline piece in the quarter?

Well, let's take them separately. The BOP, the growth potential for CCA and the industry is going to be through procurements to meet their needs. They have continued to see a deterioration in their rated... inmate population to rated capacity and they are now at... we're seen it, I think in the last year and a half growth of 134 to 137%. They do desire to meet a fair amount of their population growth through contracts. Their limitation has been budgeting and as I mentioned in my opening comments that they are waiting on a permanent budget before they commit to these beds. So we think we will continue to see over the next... over some horizon several years, a continued need for contract beds that will come in every year or two. They have talked that their desire would be anywhere from 1,500 to 3,000 a year. It is just the budget standing right (ph) and do that in a systematic way. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the funding is for 33,400 beds. It is... so that's what's going to be at most in their system at any point in time on the average. That could be above that as long as the average, so that's their funding. What we have seen in some of the growth that we had over the last several years has actually been where they are consolidating. So they don't need funds for new beds for growth but what they have found is that if they have 30 detainees and 50 different county jails, the logistics on that is very difficult. And so their desire is that they can find a location that is convenient to them, so that they can have all the inmates and detainees in one location. Also inmate... the detainee growth…

Great, thank you. And another question, I understand the commentary about the headwind from interest expense and depreciation of facilities you brought online. But presumably you are generating revenue from that as well. Do those new facilities that associate with that, presumably come on positive EBITDA or what kind of contribution will those facilities have through '09 just with who is in those facilities now?

Well, I think we answered in an earlier question. We kind of touched down that, that some of the beds that we are bringing online and we specifically mentioned our Adams County facility, we do not have a customer for it at the moment. So we started depreciating it at the end of 2008. We have the interest carry. If you back to press release above... I guess 8000 beds online in 2008. So that was... all been fully depreciated. And as I mentioned in my comments there were about little over 10,000 beds currently available and about 1,500 of them nor spoken for with the California. So the balance of them there is nothing, no majors... none of them that have spoken for. So that is going to be bringing on some of the 10 to $0.12 a share on depreciation and interest. And we'll not have at the moment... a fair amount of that will not have anticipated EBITDA.

Sure. I guess I understand that but the La Palma is part of the... at least expansion there is part of the increase in D&A at the very least. Is there a way to quantify that 10 to $0.12 presumably gets lower when you consider the facility EBITDA from folks that are in those beds that you have expanded now?

Nothing we could speak to specifically other than to say it has been identified in the $1.10 to $1.20.

And a couple other comments there. As we mentioned in our last call and our current press release we've seen some reductions in inmate populations in Minnesota, Washington and Wyoming. We have the negative impact of the operating carrying costs on the beds we've completed but remained vacant and may remain vacant. For example Adams County, $2 million of operating carrying cost on an annual basis until occupied. And then we try to factor in a number of uncertainties into our guidance based on the current economic environment, lack of visibility including the potential for per diem reductions and further inmate population reductions due to cost cutting measure states may take. However if you take the information we've provided, so Q4 EPS normalized at $0.30 and annualize that you get $1.20. Then subtract the $0.10 drag on earnings from increased interest and depreciation that gives you $1.10. Everything else being equal, so to get to $1.20 there needs to be some improvement.

Great and the last question I'll let you go... beating the guidance horse again. Do you make the assumptions... clearly you're making some assumptions that you give some rate concessions, are you also assuming that you get to take out some of those costs or are you assuming that you get rate reductions with not necessarily that commensurate or at least a partial cost reduction by reducing programs?

Yeah, don't want to get into specifics, primarily because of lack of visibility but as I mentioned we are in discussions with the customer to negotiate reductions in the service levels that would allow us to reduce operating cost to offset some or all of those per diem reductions.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

We will take over next question from Dana Walker. Please go ahead.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Could you talk about the effects that your customers are seeing the economy play on crime and possible flow of future inmates?

I think the conventional wisdom is a recession and increasing unemployment, puts up more pressure on current rate. There is no definitive studies out there to support that. And it's too early into the process of our customers to draw any conclusions around what they are seeing in their own inmate populations or crime rates.

On the topic of per diem, it seems to me that I think all of us have heard your argument on how you want to maintain stability with your customers and that you and they are making long term commitments. And yet they view on our end is that what choice do your customers have, you've made a significant commitment to a long life capital project on which you need to earn a return. And you've committed that project and its capacity to these customers. If you break price then what's to for stall them coming back and saying well you've done that and now you've... we've agreed on what the topic is just how much we're going to bend. How do you respond to that?

Well it is a balance that Todd mentioned. And I think we always have to remember that we do business with a customer who makes laws. And that they could always put themselves... put us in a very uncompetitive situation by authorizing to build its capacity just to get out of one of the relationships. So it is our desire that our customers never feel the need to build another prison bed. And that sometimes means that we cannot exert the leverage that in the short-term that we would have.

Final question from me relates to what you didn't say about the guidance about what... I think a lot us would like to hear you say about compensated man-days and particularly owned and managed compensated man-days with the prospect of California attains the spread or closes the spread between 6500 and 8132. Should there not be some growth in compensated man-days in '09?

We don't. It would seem to me that as we have said with the original 8,000 that we are part of the solution, that we believe every inmate that we receive is in a constitutionally cared for environment. But it relates to all aspects, overcrowding, health care and that if they... the California would have a difficult time identifying where the 58,000 would come from. They can reduce the need for 58,000 to be released by letting someone else take care of them in a constitution environment. But I don't know if that's how that's going to play out.

Very well. Thank you.

(Operator Instructions). We'll take our next question from David Snyder. Please go ahead.

Hello.

Hello.

Can you hear me?

Yes.

Good. When you authorized the stock buyback that was in November of '08 and the stock is currently below the average price that you bought back stock. So in November, we already knew that the economy was really nasty. And so as far as specific to you, is there some change from when you decided to buyback stock till now? Because obviously, it's not fun for you to buyback stock and then see the stock below what you guys paid for?

I don't think we've changed our approach to making the decision around repurchasing shares. Again it's an ROI based analysis. It's not a systematic plan. In other words, we're not going to purchase a fixed dollar amount of shares regardless of the price that goes the ROI analysis. And if the ROI is appropriate and it is the highest and best use of the fund that will drive our decision making around our capital allocation process.

Okay. So as far as the '09 guidance you are assuming no new contracts that are... or nothing that's not yet announced?

I don't think we'd parse the guidance at that level of detail. What we said there is a number of RFPs out on the street but there is a tremendous amount of uncertainty and lack of visibility around whether or not those customers are going to move forward with those contracts and if so when. But I don't think we specifically address whether we made the assumption around any new contracts or not. And historically, I have not parsed our guidance at that level of detail.

Okay. I guess that's often being right now.

Thank you.

We will take a follow-up question from Kevin Campbell. Please go ahead.

Thank you. I was hoping you guys could comment real quickly on California and the prospects of them paying their bills or not paying them in cash and issuing IOUs, is that something in your discussions with the state that they've indicated maybe likely for you?

That is a possibility. To date we haven't seen any significant variance in our day sales outstanding from the State of California but that could change. And again, I think one of the states that are hopeful that the federal fiscal stimulus bill will provide them some discretionary funds that allows them to meet some of their budget issues.

And I am assuming there is no impact of that on the income statement. And really it just fell on the cash flow statement in the balance sheet?

Yes, to the extent my accounts receivable increased significantly. I mean there is working capital drawn on the revolver, there will be some incremental interest expense. But it held plus 75, current borrowing rate at 2% but that'd be pretty significant to have a material impact.

Okay.

We are hoping that's not where we have to do use our cash for.

Yes. You guys saw some pretty good margin improvement in your managed only segment. Sequentially that is, was that driven by the exit of the Bay County contract or was that more related to the lower healthcare expenses or workers' comp or was that on the G&A? And could you comment on that on the managed-only segment?

Yeah, well the employee medical and the workers' comp will be spread across owned and managed only. And then the Bay jail facility was, call it, at a breakeven contract. And that was exited at the beginning of the quarter. So that would have a positive impact as well.

Okay. Last question, any cost pressures you guys are seeing, it doesn't sound like it but trying to get confirmation?

Yeah, not seeing any cost pressures from an inflationary standpoint. Actually, potentially just the opposite, for example, the reduction in the below average employee medical claims. For example, there is some speculation that's being driven by decision-making by employers around, managing their cash flow more tightly. So they are not running to the doctor with every cold and flu. They're avoiding physical that sort of thing and our health care plans are very consumer driven oriented, in other words, high deductible, high co-pays, high co-insurance. There is also some early indications, it's hard to tell for sure that the increase in unemployment rate we're seeing increases in the applicant flow for jobs at our facilities, both in quantity and quality. And there is some early indications that suggest possibly we may see some benefit from that through reductions in turnover and thereby decreases in overtime. But it's really too early to tell at this point.

Okay. All right, thank you very much.

Thank you. It appears that we have no further questions at this time.

Okay, thank you. Thank you everyone for taking time to let us respond to many questions. As we said, to provide guidance this year was a tough challenge. It is very apparent that we'll not buy ourselves. Many companies are giving significantly wide guidance or no guidance at all. So we want to do our best to try to be as realistic as we could in light of very uncertain times in dealing with the customer base that is also dealing with an uncertain time. But as I've said in my comments and Todd said in his, we are really bullish as it relates to the long-term future for this company. We know that 2009 is going to be tough, could be 2010. But we are highly confident that the inmate population growth and our customers and our prospective customers will continue. And we know that the money that our customers are spending is on things other than infrastructure for their correctional systems and that allows success that we had starting 2003 up till now, one I think attribute to a very similar circumstance with a lot of our state customers and not build on their infrastructure. And we were asked what we're going to do with the cash, I think we are trying to position ourselves so that when things to do clear up that we are in a great position to be able to deliver a meaningful public service to our customers who will need to deal with their overcrowd and we would be there just in time for them. So thank everyone for joining us. Good day.

Thank you. This concludes today's teleconference. You may now disconnect your lines and have a wonderful day.
