Brink’s Reports First-Quarter Results

Strong Revenue and Profit Growth Driven by Latin America

Management Raises Full-Year Segment Margin Outlook

GAAP EPS $.35 vs. $.39; Non-GAAP EPS $.58 vs. $.39

RICHMOND, Va., April 26, 2012 – The Brink’s Company (NYSE: BCO), a global leader in security-related services, today reported first-quarter earnings.

First-Quarter Highlights

GAAP:

·   Revenue $967 million, up 6% (9% organic growth), EPS: $.35 vs. $.39

·   Segment profit up 28% to $67 million, margin 6.9% vs. 5.7%

·   International margin 8.3% vs. 6.7%

·   North America margin 2.5% vs. 2.8%

Non-GAAP:

·   Revenue up 6% to $967 million (9% organic growth), EPS: $.58 vs. $.39

·   Segment profit up 32% to $70 million, margin 7.2% vs. 5.8%

·   International margin 8.4% vs. 6.7%; Latin America profit up 58%, EMEA up slightly

·   North America margin 3.4% vs. 3.1%, full-year margin expected to be 4.5% to 5.5%

Other:

·   Full-year segment margin outlook raised to approximately 7%

Tom Schievelbein, interim president and chief executive officer, said: “First-quarter results reflect strong growth throughout Latin America.  Non-GAAP profit margins in Europe and North America were up slightly, despite market conditions that remain extremely challenging.  We are highly focused on cost reduction and productivity measures in these markets and expect modest profit growth this year and accelerated improvement in 2013.  We’re off to a good start in 2012 and now expect our annual segment margin rate to be about 7% with organic revenue growth of 5% to 8%.”

Segment Overview – First-Quarter 2012 versus 2011

Revenue increased 6% (9% organic) due to organic growth in all regions except North America.  Non-GAAP segment profit rose 32%, reflecting a segment margin of 7.2%, up from 5.8% in 2011.

The primary driver of the profit increase was Latin America, which represents 40% of total revenue and is the company’s fastest growing segment.  Latin America revenue increased 16% (21% organic) on price and volume increases across the region.  Profits in the region rose 58% on a non-GAAP basis due mainly to organic growth in Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil.  Mexico operations, which were acquired at the end of 2010, continued to improve.

North America non-GAAP profit was up slightly as cost actions offset ongoing price and volume pressure.  The North America non-GAAP segment margin was 3.4%, up slightly from 3.1% in the year-ago quarter.  The full-year non-GAAP segment margin in North America is expected to improve to a range between 4.5% and 5.5%, up from 3.6% in 2011.

EMEA profit improved slightly over the year-ago quarter.  Organic revenue growth in EMEA of 4% was offset by unfavorable changes in foreign currency rates.

Asia-Pacific revenue grew 8% while profit fell slightly.

Non-Segment Expenses

Non-segment expenses increased from $15 million to $24 million due to increased retirement plan expenses ($9 million).  On a non-GAAP basis, these expenses were relatively flat at $10 million.

Capital Expenditures and Capital Leases

Brink’s acquired $39 million of fixed assets in 2012 versus $43 million in 2011.  For the full year, the company expects to acquire between $240 million and $260 million of fixed assets, including approximately $30 million in Mexico.

Income Taxes

On a GAAP basis, the first-quarter tax expense was $16 million (effective rate of 41%) versus $11 million (effective rate of 32%) in 2011.  The year-ago rate was affected favorably by a $2 million tax benefit related to enacted tax legislation and audit settlements.  The effective income tax rate for 2012 is expected to be between 37% and 40%.

Recent Events

On March 6, Brink’s contributed 361,446 shares of common stock valued at $9 million to its primary U.S. pension plan.  The total required contribution in 2012 is $31.5 million.  Over the course of 2012 and in future years, the company will evaluate whether to satisfy pension contribution obligations with cash, stock or a combination thereof.

Non-GAAP Results

Non-GAAP results described in this earnings release are financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  The purpose of the non-GAAP results is to report financial information without certain income and expense items and adjust the quarterly non-GAAP tax rates so that the non-GAAP tax rate in each of the quarters is equal to the full-year non-GAAP tax rate.  For 2012, a forecasted full-year tax rate is used.  The full year non-GAAP tax rate in both years excludes certain pretax and tax income and expense amounts.  The non-GAAP information provides information to assist comparability and estimates of future performance.  Brink’s believes these measures are helpful in assessing operations and estimating future results and enable period-to-period comparability of financial performance.  In addition, Brink’s believes the measures will help investors assess the ongoing operation.  Non-GAAP results should not be considered as an alternative to revenue, income or earnings per share amounts determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with their GAAP counterparts.

Forward-Looking Statements

Non-GAAP Reconciliations - Cash Flows

		First Quarter
			2012		2011
Cash flows from operating activities - GAAP		$	(16.4)	$	(5.7)
Decrease (increase) in certain customer obligations (a)			18.8		9.7
Cash outflows (inflows) related to discontinued operations (b)			-		(1.2)
	Cash flows from operating activities - Non-GAAP	$	2.4	$	2.8

(a)To eliminate the change in the balance of customer obligations related to cash received and processed in certain of our secure cash logistics
operations. The title to this cash transfers to us for a short period of time.The cash is generally credited to customers’ accounts the following
day and we do not consider it as available for general corporate purposes in the management of our liquidity and capital resources.

(b)To eliminate cash flows related to our discontinued operations.

Non-GAAP cash flows from operating activities are supplemental financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with
GAAP. The purpose of the non-GAAP cash flows from operating activities is to report financial information excluding the impact of cash
received and processed in certain of our secure cash logistics operations and without cash flows from discontinued operations.  Brink’s
believes this measure is helpful in assessing cash flows from operations, enables period-to-period comparability and is useful in predicting
future operating cash flows. Non-GAAP cash flows from operating activities should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from
operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated statements of cash flows.

(a) Title to cash received and processed in certain of our secure cash logistics operations transfers to us for a short period of time.The cash is

generally credited to customers’ accounts the following day and we do not consider it as available for general corporate purposes in the

     management of our liquidity and capital resources and in our computation of Net Debt.

Net Debt is a supplemental financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP.We use Net Debt as a measure of
our financial leverage.We believe that investors also may find Net Debt to be helpful in evaluating our financial leverage. Net Debt should
not be considered as an alternative to Debt determined in accordance with GAAP and should be reviewed in conjunction with our
consolidated balance sheets.Set forth above is a reconciliation of Net Debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, to Debt, which is the most
directly comparable financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP.Net Debt excluding cash and debt in Venezuelan
operations was $307 million at March 31, 2012, and $242 million at December 31, 2011.
