Argentina Debt Security Transactions
We have elected in the past and expect to continue in the future to repatriate cash from Brink’s Argentina using debt security markets to convert Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars. In the first nine months of 2015, cash outflows from the purchase of these securities totaled $6.9 million and cash inflows from the sale of these securities totaled $4.6 million. In the first nine months of 2014, cash outflows from the purchase of these securities totaled $8.6 million and cash inflows from the sale of these securities totaled $5.8 million. The net cash flows from these transactions are treated as operating cash flows as the debt securities are purchased specifically for resale and are generally sold within a short period of time from the date of purchase.
Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities
We acquired $8.5 million in armored vehicles and other equipment under capital lease arrangements in the first nine months of 2015 compared to $5.9 million in armored vehicles and point of sale equipment acquired under capital lease arrangements in the first nine months of 2014.
