The $705 million net cash infusion provides significant deleveraging and buyback capacity. Watch for further facility sale announcements to ICE, which would generate additional cash and signal continued government demand for GEO's services. The ICE contract continuation through 2034 provides revenue visibility, though ICE retains termination-for-convenience rights.
