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 the first three months of 2016, cash outflows from the purchase of debt securities totaled $2.1 million and cash inflows from the sale of these securities totaled $2.0 million. In the first three months of 2015, we did not convert any Argentine pesos to U.S. dollars using these debt security transactions. 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 $3.9 million in armored vehicles and other equipment under capital lease arrangements in the first three months of 2016 compared to $1.1 million in armored vehicles and point of sale equipment acquired under capital lease arrangements in the first three months of 2015.
