Record 2024 revenue with growth of 3% with organic growth of 12%

Continued robust organic growth of 23% in AMS/DRS and 9% in CVM

Strong 2024 cash generation with cash from operations of $426M and free cash flow of $400M

Reduced net leverage while returning $245M in cash to shareholders

RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Brink's Company (NYSE:BCO), a leading global provider of cash and valuables management, digital retail solutions (DRS), and ATM managed services (AMS), today announced fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 results.

Mark Eubanks, president and CEO, said: "2024 completes another year of strategic progress as we continue to transform Brink's into a faster growing, more profitable and higher cash flow generating business. Over the year, we accelerated organic growth in AMS and DRS, expanded our EBITDA margins and generated $400 million of free cash flow, returning more than 60% to our shareholders. We remain steadfast in our strategy to improve our revenue mix, drive waste out of our operations through the Brink's Business System, consistently improve cash conversion and return excess capital to our shareholders. I'm proud of the progress we made this year and am encouraged with the pace and trajectory of our transformation.

"Looking towards 2025, our strategy and value creation framework remain unchanged. We have considerable top-line momentum in AMS and DRS and have seen positive developments early in the quarter in our global services business. I am excited about our future and encouraged by the value creation opportunities in front of us as we execute our strategy."

Full-year and fourth-quarter results are summarized in the following tables:

Resolutions with DOJ and FinCEN

On February 6, 2025 the company announced that its subsidiary, Brink's Global Services USA, reached agreements with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Networks (FinCEN) to fully resolve previously disclosed investigations related to historical cross-border currency shipments and compliance with federal money-transmitting laws. The resolutions are based on certain currency shipments that occurred from 2018 through 2020 and did not involve the movement of funds on behalf of the Federal Reserve or any federally regulated financial institutions. Upon learning of the investigation in 2020, Brink's has strengthened its global Ethics & Compliance program, including expanding the global Ethics and Compliance team and enhancing its engagement and compliance training program. We believe these compliance programs uniquely position Brink's within the industry to better protect customers and improve its global cash and valuables management services.

In connection with the resolutions, Brink's recorded a charge of $38 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, and total charges, inclusive of legal and other third-party fees, of $45.7 million in the full year of 2024. These charges reduced EPS by $0.86 in the fourth quarter and $1.02 for the full year. Because of the unique nature of these charges, Brink's has excluded these charges from its non-GAAP results.

2025 Non-GAAP Framework and Q1 2025 Non-GAAP Guidance (Unaudited)

(In millions, except for percentages and per share amounts)

In 2025, management has included additional guidance to better help investors understand currency impacts on our results. Management believes organic growth, margin expansion and free cash flow conversion performance, provided in our 2025 framework, gives investors better visibility into the performance of our business. In addition to our full-year 2025 framework, we have added quarterly guidance for revenue, adjusted EBITDA and EPS in 2025 to clarify the expected impact of near-term currency impact on those results. When, and if, currency volatility lessens, management may return to the previous annual guidance methodology. Revenues are presented in accordance with GAAP.

	2025 Non-GAAP Framework
Organic Revenue Growth		Mid-Single Digits

AMS/DRS Organic Revenue Growth		Mid to High Teens

Adjusted EBITDA Margin Expansion		30-50bps

Free Cash Flow Conversion		40-45%

Free Cash Flow Returned to Shareholders		+50%

	Q1 2025 Guidance
Revenue		$1,200 - $1,250

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA		$190 - $210

Non-GAAP EPS		$1.10 - $1.40

The Q1 2025 non-GAAP Guidance cannot be reconciled to GAAP without unreasonable effort, as we are unable to accurately forecast certain amounts that are necessary for reconciliation, including the impact of highly inflationary accounting on our Argentina operations, expenses relating to M&A transactions that may or may not occur in the quarter, and other potential Non-GAAP adjusting items for which the timing and amounts are uncertain. The Q1 2025 Non-GAAP Guidance assumes the continuation of current economic trends and reflects management's current assumptions regarding variables that are difficult to accurately forecast, including those discussed in the Risk Factors set forth in the Company's filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Other Items Not Allocated To Segments (Unaudited)

(In millions)

Income and expenses not allocated to segments are reported either as "Corporate Expenses" or "Other Items not Allocated to Segments."

Corporate Expenses include costs to manage the global business and perform activities required by public companies as well as other items that are considered part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities but are not considered when the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") evaluates segment results. Examples include corporate staff compensation, corporate headquarters costs, regional management costs, share-based compensation, and currency transaction gains and losses.

Other Items not Allocated to Segments include income and expenses that are not necessary to operate our business in the ordinary course and are not considered when the CODM evaluates segment results. These include non-recurring as well as certain recurring costs and gains which are not considered to be part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Each of the items in the "Other Items Not Allocated to Segments" category is excluded from non-GAAP measures.

See below for a summary of the other items not allocated to segments.

Reorganization and Restructuring

Costs associated with certain reorganization and restructuring actions are excluded from reported non-GAAP results. These items primarily include severance charges and asset impairment losses. The 2022 Global Restructuring Plan was designed to, among other things, enable growth, reduce costs and related infrastructure, and to mitigate the potential impact of external economic conditions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Other restructuring actions were primarily in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and a decision to exit a line of business in our Canada operating unit. Due to the unusual nature of the underlying events that led to these actions, the charges are not considered part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. As such, they have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results and are excluded from non-GAAP results.

2022 Global Restructuring Plan

In the first quarter of 2023, management completed the review and approval of remaining actions included in the previously disclosed restructuring program across our global business operations. In total, we have recognized $34.0 million in charges under this program, including $0.8 million in 2024. The actions under this program were substantially completed in 2024. Severance actions from this restructuring plan reduced our global workforce by approximately 3,200 positions.

Other Restructurings

As a result of other restructuring actions, we recognized $6.6 million of net costs in 2023, primarily severance costs. We recognized $0.7 million of net costs in 2024. The actions were substantially completed in 2024.

Acquisitions and dispositions

Certain acquisition and disposition items are not part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. These items include non-cash amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets, as well as integration, transaction, restructuring and certain compensation costs. All of the items are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of our acquisitions and dispositions, and many are inconsistent in amount and frequency. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, we have not allocated these amounts to segment or Corporate results and have excluded these amounts from non-GAAP results.

These items are described below:

2024 Acquisitions and Dispositions

Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $58.3 million in 2024.
Net charges of $2.4 million were incurred for post-acquisition adjustments to indemnification assets related to previous business acquisitions.
We incurred $1.1 million in integration costs in 2024.
A net credit of $1.3 million related to the reversal of a retention liability for key PAI employees was recorded in 2024.

2023 Acquisitions and Dispositions

Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $57.8 million in 2023.
We derecognized a contingent consideration liability related to the NoteMachine business acquisition and recognized a gain of $4.8 million. We also derecognized a contingent consideration liability related to the Touchpoint 21 acquisition and recognized a gain of $1.4 million.
We recognized $4.9 million in charges in Argentina in 2023 for an inflation-adjusted labor increase to expected payments to union workers of the Maco Transportadora and Maco Litoral businesses (together, "Maco").
Net charges of $3.4 million were incurred for post-acquisition adjustments to indemnification assets related to previous business acquisitions.
We incurred $2.2 million in integration costs, primarily related to PAI, in 2023.
Transaction costs related to business acquisitions were $4.2 million in 2023.
We recognized a $2.0 million loss on the disposition of Russia-based operations in 2023.
Compensation expense related to the retention of key PAI employees was $1.6 million in 2023.

Argentina highly inflationary impact Beginning in the third quarter of 2018, we designated Argentina's economy as highly inflationary for accounting purposes. As a result, Argentine peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are now remeasured at each balance sheet date to the currency exchange rate then in effect, with currency remeasurement gains and losses recognized in earnings. In addition, nonmonetary assets retain a higher historical basis when the currency is devalued. The higher historical basis results in incremental expense being recognized when the nonmonetary assets are consumed. In 2023, we recognized $86.8 million in pretax charges related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $79.1 million. In 2024, we recognized $35.0 million in pretax charges related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $18.4 million. These non-cash charges are not part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. As such, they have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results and are excluded from non-GAAP results.

Transformation initiatives During 2023, we initiated a multi-year program intended to accelerate growth and drive margin expansion through transformation of our business model. The program is designed to help us standardize our commercial and operational systems and processes, drive continuous improvement and achieve operational excellence. Accordingly, we incurred $5.5 million of expense in 2023 and an additional $28.4 million in 2024. The transformation costs primarily include third party professional services and project management charges. These costs relate to a discrete program and are not reflective of our ongoing operating cost structure, and are not indicative of our core operating expenses or normal activities. Additionally, management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. As such, they have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results and are excluded from non-GAAP results.

DOJ/FinCEN investigations During 2024, we accrued $45.7 million in connection with the DOJ and FinCEN investigations, which was primarily related to cross-border shipments of cash and things of value and anti-money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act compliance. This amount represents an estimate of $42.0 million for the resolutions with the DOJ and FinCEN, as well as $3.7 million of third-party legal costs associated with this matter. These costs are not considered part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Additionally, the nature of these amounts, including associated third-party costs, and the underlying investigation are such that they are not reasonably likely to recur within two years, nor were there similar charges within the prior two years. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, these amounts have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results and are excluded from non-GAAP results.

Chile antitrust matter We recognized an estimated loss of $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2021 and recognized additional amounts in subsequent years (which were primarily related to changes in currency rates). Overall, these charges related to a potential fine associated with an investigation by the Chilean Fiscalía Nacional Económica or "FNE" (the Chilean antitrust agency). The investigation is related to potential anti-competitive practices among competitors in the cash logistics industry in Chile. These costs are not considered part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Additionally, the nature of these amounts, including the estimated loss and associated third-party costs, is such that they are not reasonably likely to recur within two years, nor were there similar charges within the prior two years of the underlying event. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, these amounts have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results and are excluded from non-GAAP results.

Non-routine auto loss matter In 2023, a Brink's employee was involved in a motor vehicle accident with unique circumstances that resulted in the death of a third party and, in connection with the ensuing litigation, Brink's recognized an $10.0 million charge. Due to the unusual nature of the matter, including the unique circumstances of the claim, potential magnitude of remedy, and variation from our ordinary-course litigation strategy, we consider the litigation as separate and distinct from routine legal matters. Management does not believe that similar litigation will likely recur within the next two years, and there have been no similar matters within the prior two years. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, they have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results and are excluded from non-GAAP results.

Reporting compliance We incurred certain compliance costs in 2023 to remediate a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting. These third-party costs are not part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Additionally, the nature of these amounts is such that they are not reasonably likely to recur within two years, nor were similar costs incurred within the prior two years of the underlying event. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, they have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results and are excluded from non-GAAP results.

Non-GAAP Results Reconciled to GAAP (Unaudited)

(In millions, except for percentages and per share amounts)

Non-GAAP measures described below and included in this press release are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. The purpose of the disclosure of these non-GAAP measures is to report financial information from the primary operations of our business by excluding the effects of certain income and expenses that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of our operations.

These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide investors with a supplemental comparison of our operating results and trends for the periods presented. Our management believes these measures are also useful to investors as such measures allow investors to evaluate our performance using the same metrics that our management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. The reconciliations in the tables below include adjustments that we do not consider reflective of our operating performance as they result from events and circumstances that are not a part of our core business. Additionally, certain non-GAAP results, including non-GAAP operating profit and free cash flow before dividends, are utilized as performance measures in certain management incentive compensation plans.

Non-GAAP results should not be considered as an alternative to results determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with their GAAP counterparts. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.

The items excluded from non-GAAP measures are considered by us to be nonrecurring, infrequent or unusual costs and gains as well as other items not considered part of our operations and revenue generating activities. Non-recurring and infrequent items are items that are not reasonably expected to recur in the following two years.

In addition to the rationale described above, we believe the following non-GAAP metrics are helpful to investors in assessing results of operations consistent with how our management evaluates performance:

Non-GAAP operating profit and Non-GAAP operating profit margin: Non-GAAP operating profit equals GAAP operating profit excluding Other Items not Allocated to Segments. Non-GAAP operating margin equals non-GAAP operating profit divided by revenues.
Non-GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to Brink's: This measure equals GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to Brink's excluding Other Items not Allocated to Segments as well as certain retirement plan expenses/gains and unusual adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances.
Earnings Before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA is calculated by starting with net income attributable to Brink's and adding back the amounts for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA equals EBITDA excluding the applicable impacts of Other Items not Allocated to Segments as well as certain retirement plan expenses/gains, unusual adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances, income tax rate adjustments, share-based compensation and marketable securities (gain) loss.
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share ("EPS") from continuing operations attributable to Brink's common shareholders: This measure equals non-GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to Brink's divided by diluted shares.
Organic change and organic growth: Organic change represents the change in revenues or operating profit between the current and prior period excluding the effect of acquisitions and dispositions for one year after the transaction and changes in currency exchange rates. Organic growth is the percentage change of organic growth versus the prior year amount.
Impact of Acquisitions/ Dispositions: This measure represents the impact of acquisitions or dispositions without a full year of reported results in either comparable period.
Currency Effect: This measure consists of the effects of Argentina devaluations under highly inflationary accounting and the sum of monthly currency changes. Monthly currency changes represent the accumulation throughout the year of the impact on current period results of changes in foreign currency rates from the prior year period.
Non-GAAP pre-tax income, Non-GAAP income tax and Non-GAAP effective income tax rate: Non-GAAP pre-tax income and non-GAAP income tax equal their GAAP counterparts excluding the applicable impacts of Other Items not Allocated to Segments as well as certain retirement plan expenses/gains and unusual adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances. Non-GAAP effective income tax rate equals non-GAAP income tax divided by non-GAAP pre-tax income.

In addition to the rationale described above, we believe the following non-GAAP metrics are helpful in assessing cash flow and financial leverage consistent with how our management evaluates performance:

Free Cash Flow before Dividends: This non-GAAP measure reflects management's calculation of cash flows that are available for capital or investing activities such as paying dividends, share repurchases, debt, acquisitions and other investments. The measure is calculated as net cash flows from operating activities, adjusted to exclude certain operating activities related to cash that is not available for corporate purposes, including the impact of cash flows from restricted cash held for customers, as well as cash received and processed in certain of our secure cash management services operations. The resulting amount is further adjusted to include the impact of cash flows related to equipment used to operate our business, including capital expenditures, cash proceeds from sale of property and equipment, as well as proceeds from lessor debt financing. The latter item, which is part of cash flows from financing activities and relates to the subsequent financings of certain capital expenditures, was added to our calculation in 2024 as we believe such cash flows are similar in nature to transactions reported in Investing Activities, which have historically been included in our calculation. Prior amounts were recast to reflect this change.

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP to GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures in the tables below. Amounts reported for prior periods have been updated in this report to present information consistently for all periods presented. Most of the reconciling adjustments are described in Other Items Not Allocated to Segments above on pages 10-11. Additional reconciling items include the following:

Retirement plans We incur costs, such as interest expense and amortization of actuarial gains and losses, associated with certain retirement plans that have been frozen to new entrants. Furthermore, we also incur non-cash settlement charges and curtailment gains related to all of our retirement plans. These costs and gains are not considered to be part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, they are excluded from non-GAAP results.

Valuation allowance on tax credits As a result of new foreign tax credit regulations, we released a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and recorded a significant income tax credit in 2022. We then re-established some of the valuation allowance in 2023 primarily related to adjustments to the previous foreign tax credit changes, resulting in a significant incremental income tax expense. In 2024, we released an incremental valuation allowance on deferred tax assets that was otherwise expected to expire and recorded a tax credit. The gains and charges related to major tax law changes that impacted U.S. foreign tax credits. These gains and charges are not considered to be part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, they are excluded from non-GAAP results.

Change in restricted cash held for customers Restricted cash held for customers is not available for general corporate purposes such as payroll, vendor invoice payments, debt repayment, or capital expenditures. Because the cash is not available to support the Company's operations and revenue generating activities, management excludes the changes in the restricted cash held for customers balance when assessing cash flows from operations. We believe that the exclusion of the change in restricted cash held for customers from our non-GAAP operating cash flows measure is helpful to users of the financial statements as it presents this financial measure consistent with how management assesses this liquidity measure.

Change in certain customer obligations The title to cash received and processed in certain of our secure cash management services operations transfers to us for a short period of time. The cash is generally credited to customers' accounts the following day and is thus not available for general corporate purposes. Because the cash is not available to support our operations and revenue generating activities, management excludes the changes in this specific cash balance when assessing cash flows from operations. We believe that the exclusion of the change in this cash balance from our non-GAAP operating cash flows measure is helpful to the users of our financial statements as it presents this financial measure consistent with how our management assesses this liquidity measure.
