Acquisitions

We acquired operations in various countries in 2017. We accounted for these acquisitions as business combinations using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed from these operations are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. The consolidated statements of operations include the results of operations for each acquired entity from the date of acquisition.

Maco Transportadora de Caudales S.A. (“Maco Transportadora”)
Argentine Cash in Transit (“CIT”) and Money Processing business

On July 18, 2017, we acquired 100% of the shares of Maco Transportadora for approximately $205 million. The total purchase price will be paid in cash and approximately $173 million of the purchase consideration was paid to the sellers through December 31, 2017. The remaining amounts will be paid in scheduled installments over the next two years with the final amount based partially on the retention of customer revenue versus a target revenue amount. This contingent consideration arrangement requires us to pay a potential undiscounted amount between $0 to $30 million based on retaining the revenue levels of existing customers at the acquisition date. If there is a shortfall in revenues, a multiple of 2.5 is applied to the revenue shortfall and the contingent consideration to be paid to the former owners is reduced.  We used a probability-weighted approach to estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration. The fair value of the contingent consideration reflected in the table below is the present value of the full $30 million potentially payable as of December 31, 2017 as we believe it is unlikely that the contingent consideration payments will be reduced for a revenue shortfall.

The Maco Transportadora business will be integrated into our existing Brink’s Argentina operations. Maco Transportadora has approximately 1,450 employees, 4 branches and over 150 armored vehicles across its operations.

We have provisionally estimated fair values for the assets purchased, liabilities assumed and purchase consideration as of the date of the acquisition in the following table. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The amounts reported are considered provisional as we are completing the valuations that are required to allocate the purchase price. As a result, the allocation of the provisional purchase price may change in the future. There have been no significant changes to our fair value estimates of the net assets acquired for Maco Transportadora.

Other acquisitions in 2017

On March 14, 2017, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of American Armored Transport, Inc. ("AATI"). AATI provides secured trucking transportation of high-value cargo throughout the continental United States and is expected to complement our existing tractor trailer division in the United States.

On April 19, 2017, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Muitofacil Holding Ltda., a Brazil-based holding company, and its subsidiary, Muitofacil Arrecadacao e Recebimento Ltda. (together "Pag Facil"). Pag Facil offers bank correspondent services, bill payment processing and mobile phone top-up services in Brazil and is expected to supplement our existing Brazilian payment services businesses.

On June 29, 2017, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Global Security S.A. (“LGS”). LGS is a Chilean security company specializing in CIT and ATM services and will be integrated into our existing Brink’s Chile operations.

On August 14, 2017, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Maco Litoral, S.A., (“Maco Litoral”) an Argentina-based company which provides CIT and ATM services.

On October 31, 2017, we acquired 100% of the shares of Temis S.A.S. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Les Goelands S.A.S. and Temis Conseil et Formation S.A.R.L (together "Temis"). The Temis business provides CIT and Money Processing services in France and will be integrated into our existing Brink's France operations.

The aggregate purchase price of these five business acquisitions (AATI, Pag Facil, LGS, Maco Litoral and Temis) was approximately $160 million. These five acquired operations employ approximately 1,700 people in the aggregate.

For these five business acquisitions (AATI, Pag Facil, LGS, Maco Litoral and Temis), we have provisionally estimated fair values for the assets purchased and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisitions. These estimated amounts are aggregated in the following table. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The amounts reported are considered provisional as we are completing the valuations that are required to allocate the purchase price, as a result, the allocation of the purchase price and the amount of goodwill and intangibles may change in the future. Our fair value estimates of acquisition date goodwill increased approximately $14 million, acquisition date intangible assets decreased approximately $11 million, and acquisition date noncurrent liabilities increased approximately $6 million as compared to our initial estimates in the period of acquisition. There have been no other significant changes to our fair value estimates of the net assets acquired for these acquisitions.

If certain conditions are met in the future, goodwill related to Pag Facil will be deductible for tax purposes.
