ISAP mix shift, buyback aggression clarified
Q&A unpacked ISAP margin compression as a mix shift to pricier ankle monitors and case management atop flat 180,000 participants, with management ready to scale to 360,000-plus if ICE demands. They committed to leaning hard into buybacks at lows, targeting net debt below 3x levered, while defending conservative 2026 guidance amid start-up costs and skip-tracing ramp in H2. Analysts grilled activation delays; Zoley blamed shutdowns and warehouse distractions but stressed dual-track talks for high-security idle beds and cautious Sun Belt warehouse bids. No new awards yet. Watch ICE decisions on facilities and ISAP volumes.

FY2025 results
GEO Group posted $2.6B revenues for FY2025 ended December 31, 2025, up 8.6% y/y, driven by U.S. Secure Services growth of 13.9% from new ICE contracts at Delaney Hall, North Lake, and D. Ray James facilities plus higher occupancies; average occupancy hit 89.2% with 68,157 active beds.

Net income jumped to $254M or $1.82 diluted EPS, boosted by $232M gain on Lawton sale, yet offset by $37.6M litigation reserve. Debt fell to $1.7B post-refinancing; $500M buyback underway. Idle beds carry $23M 2026 cost, but activation could add $240M revenue. Contract terminations threaten occupancy.
