Argentina Debt Security Transactions
We have elected in the past and could continue in the future to repatriate cash from Brink's Argentina using different means to convert Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars. In 2015, cash outflows from the purchase of debt securities totaled $25.8 million and cash inflows from the sale of these securities totaled $18.7 million. In 2014, cash outflows from the purchase of debt securities totaled $11.0 million and cash inflows from the sale of these securities totaled $7.4 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.

Mexico Real Estate Transaction
Brink's Mexico entered into a transaction in 2015 to sell its headquarters building in Mexico City and lease the property back for two years. The transaction did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting due to continuing involvement with the property. Transaction proceeds of $14.5 million in 2015 are reported as cash inflows from financing activities.

Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities
We acquired armored vehicles, CompuSafe® units and other equipment under capital lease arrangements in the last three years including $18.9 million in 2015, $12.1 million in 2014 and $5.5 million in 2013.
