Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations Community Education Centers Acquisition On April 5, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of CEC, pursuant to a definitive merger agreement entered into on February 12, 2017 between the Company, GEO/DE/MC/01 LLC, and CEC Parent Holdings LLC. CEC is a private provider of rehabilitation services for offenders in reentry and in-prison treatment facilities as well as management services for county, state and federal correctional and detention facilities. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the voting interests in CEC for $353.6 million. The allocation of the purchase price for this transaction was complete as of March 31, 2018. During the measurement period, the Company adjusted provisional amounts with respect to the CEC acquisition that were recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. Those changes are reflected in the table below. The purchase price allocation as of December 31, 2017 and as of March 31, 2018 and adjustments made to the estimated acquisition date fair values during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 are as follows (in thousands):

The Company recognized a reduction of operating expenses of $2.3 million related to the CEC acquisition during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 as a result of a recovery of funds held in escrow after the measurement period had ended. As shown above, the Company recorded $163.1 million of goodwill related to the purchase of CEC. The strategic benefits of the merger include the Company's ability to further position itself to meet the demand for increasingly diversified correctional, detention and community reentry facilities and services and the Company's ability to expand the delivery of enhanced in- prison rehabilitation including evidence-based treatment, integrated with post-release support services through GEO's Continuum of Care platform. These factors contributed to the goodwill that was recorded upon consummation of the transaction. The Company does not believe that any of the goodwill recorded as a result of the CEC acquisition will be deductible for federal income tax purposes. Identifiable intangible assets purchased in the acquisition and their weighted average amortization periods in total and by major intangible asset class, as applicable, are included in the table below:
| Weighted Average Useful Life (years) |  | Fair Value as of April 5, 2017
Facility management contracts | 18 |  | $ | 75,300 |
Covenants not to compete | 1 |  | 700 |
Total acquired intangible assets |  |  | $ | 76,000 |
