Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of presentation

The Brink’s Company (along with its subsidiaries, “Brink’s”, the “Company,” “we”, “us” or “our”) has four operating segments:

•North America

•Latin America

•Europe

•Rest of World

Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

In accordance with GAAP, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.  The most significant estimates are related to goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets, pension and other retirement benefit assets and obligations, legal contingencies, allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax assets and purchase price allocations. While some of our locations noted improved economics in the first quarter of 2021, our current estimates could be materially adversely affected in future periods by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which began to have an adverse impact on our results of operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as a result of reduced customer volumes, changes to our operating procedures and increases in our costs to provide services. We have taken and continue to take actions to adjust the way we operate and reduce our costs through restructuring activities and operational changes to address these impacts and align to future anticipated revenue levels.

We are continually assessing the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic, and the actions taken in response to it, will have on our employees, businesses and segments, customers and vendors and the industries that we serve. The full impact depends on many factors that are uncertain or not yet identifiable. We expect these factors will continue to impact our financial condition and our results of operations for a duration that is currently unknown. We will continue to monitor developments affecting our condensed consolidated financial statements, including indicators that goodwill or other long-lived assets may be impaired, increases in valuation allowances for doubtful accounts or deferred tax assets may be necessary or other accruals that may increase or be necessary resulting from actions taken to reduce our cost structure or conserve our liquidity.

Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include our controlled subsidiaries.  Control is determined based on ownership rights or, when applicable, based on whether we are considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.  See "Venezuela" section below for further information. For controlled subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, the noncontrolling interests are included in net income and in total equity.

Investments in businesses that we do not control, but for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method and our proportionate share of income or loss is recorded in other operating income (expense).  Investments in businesses for which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for at fair value, if readily determinable, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. For equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, we measure these investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes from observable price changes. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars.  Our foreign subsidiaries maintain their records primarily in the currency of the country in which they operate. The method of translating local currency financial information into U.S. dollars depends on whether the economy in which our foreign subsidiary operates has been designated as highly inflationary or not.  Economies with a three-year cumulative inflation rate of more than 100% are considered highly inflationary.

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries in non-highly inflationary economies are translated into U.S. dollars using rates of exchange at the balance sheet date.  Translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).  Revenues and expenses are translated at rates of exchange in effect during the year.  Transaction gains and losses are recorded in net income.

Foreign subsidiaries that operate in highly inflationary countries use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency.  Local currency monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars using rates of exchange as of each balance sheet date, with remeasurement adjustments

7

and other transaction gains and losses recognized in earnings.  Other than nonmonetary equity securities, nonmonetary assets and liabilities do not fluctuate with changes in local currency exchange rates to the dollar. For nonmonetary equity securities traded in highly inflationary economies, the fair market value of the equity securities are remeasured at the current exchange rates to determine gain or loss to be recorded in net income. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates of exchange in effect during the year.

Argentina

We operate in Argentina through wholly owned subsidiaries and a smaller controlled subsidiary (together "Brink's Argentina"). Revenues from Brink's Argentina represented approximately 4% of our consolidated revenues for the first three months of 2021 and 5% of our consolidated revenues for the first three months of 2020.

The operating environment in Argentina continues to present business challenges, including ongoing devaluation of the Argentine peso and significant inflation. In the first three months of 2021 and 2020, the Argentine peso declined approximately 8% (from 84.0 to 91.7 pesos to the U.S. dollar) and approximately 7% (from 59.9 to 64.5 pesos to the U.S. dollar), respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Argentine peso declined approximately 29% (from 59.9 to 84.0 pesos to the U.S. dollar).

Beginning July 1, 2018, we designated Argentina's economy as highly inflationary for accounting purposes. As a result, we consolidated Brink's Argentina using our accounting policy for subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies beginning with the third quarter of 2018. Argentine peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at each balance sheet date using the currency exchange rate then in effect, with currency remeasurement gains and losses recognized in earnings. In the first three months of 2021, we recognized a $3.0 million pretax remeasurement loss. In the first three months of 2020, we recognized a $1.6 million pretax remeasurement loss.

At March 31, 2021, Argentina's economy remains highly inflationary for accounting purposes. At March 31, 2021, we had net monetary assets denominated in Argentine pesos of $37.8 million (including cash of $30.5 million). At March 31, 2021, we had net nonmonetary assets of $146.7 million (including $99.8 million of goodwill). At March 31, 2021, we had minimal equity securities denominated in Argentine pesos.

At December 31, 2020, we had net monetary assets denominated in Argentine pesos of $31.3 million (including cash of $24.4 million) and net nonmonetary assets of $146.2 million (including $99.8 million of goodwill). At December 31, 2020, we had minimal equity securities denominated in Argentine pesos.

During September 2019, the Argentine government announced currency controls on both companies and individuals. The Argentine central bank issued details as to how the exchange control procedures would operate in practice. Under these procedures, central bank approval is required for many transactions, including dividend repatriation abroad.

We have previously elected to use other market mechanisms to convert Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars. Conversions under these other market mechanisms generally settle at rates that are less favorable than the rates at which we remeasure the financial statements of Brink’s Argentina. We did not have any such conversion losses in the three months ended March 31, 2021 or in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Although the Argentine government has implemented currency controls, Brink’s management continues to provide guidance and strategic oversight, including budgeting and forecasting for Brink’s Argentina. We continue to control our Argentina business for purposes of consolidation of our financial statements and continue to monitor the situation in Argentina.

Venezuela

Our Venezuelan operations offer transportation and route-based logistics management services for cash and valuables throughout Venezuela. Currency exchange regulations, combined with other government regulations, such as price controls and strict labor laws, significantly limit our ability to make and execute operational decisions at our Venezuelan subsidiaries. As a result of these conditions, we do not meet the accounting criteria for control over our Venezuelan operations and, as a result, we report the results of our investment in our Venezuelan subsidiaries using the cost method of accounting, the basis of which approximates zero. Prior to the imposition of the U.S. government sanctions in 2019, we provided immaterial amounts of financial support to our Venezuela operations. We continue to monitor the situation in Venezuela, including the imposition of sanctions by the U.S. government targeting Venezuela.

Internal loss

A former non-management employee in our U.S. global services operations embezzled funds from Brink's in prior years. Except for a small deductible amount, the amount of the internal loss related to the embezzlement of funds was covered by our insurance. In an effort to cover up the embezzlement, the former employee intentionally misstated the underlying accounts receivable subledger data. In the first three months of 2020, we incurred $0.2 million in costs related to activities to reconstruct the accounts receivables subledger. Based on the reconstructed subledger, we were able to analyze and quantify the uncollected receivables from prior periods. Although we plan to attempt to collect these receivables, we estimated an increase to bad debt expense of $9.4 million in the first three months of 2020. In the first three months of 2021, we recognized a decrease in bad debt expense of $1.6 million, primarily related to collection of these receivables. This estimate will continue to be adjusted in future periods, if needed, as assumptions related to the collectability of these accounts receivable change. We also recognized $0.8 million of legal charges in the first three months of 2021 as we attempt to collect additional insurance recoveries related to these receivable losses. At March 31, 2021, we have recorded an $11.0 million allowance on $11.9 million of accounts receivable, or 92%. We have defined accounts receivable impacted by the embezzlement as accounts receivable recorded as of and prior to the third quarter of

8

2019. Due to the unusual nature of this internal loss and the related errors in the subledger data, along with the fact that management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance, we have excluded these net charges from segment results.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recognized for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets of businesses acquired. We review goodwill for impairment annually, as of October 1, and whenever events or circumstances in interim periods indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. Given the COVID-19 pandemic, impairment indicators were reviewed as of March 31, 2021 and we concluded that there were no indicators that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We will continue to monitor results in future periods to determine whether any indicators of impairment exist that would cause us to perform an impairment review.

We perform the test of goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. Goodwill is assigned to one or more reporting units at the date of acquisition. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we implemented changes to our organization and management structure. Based on our preliminary evaluation for year-end 2020 reporting, we changed our reporting units from eight reporting units to nine reporting units. During the first quarter of 2021, we finalized our evaluation and changed from nine reporting units to four reporting units, which are equal to our operating segments:

•North America

•Latin America

•Europe

•Rest of World

We were not required to reallocate goodwill after the reporting unit change as each of the previously identified nine reporting units is completely included in one of the four new reporting units.

Restricted Cash

In France and Malaysia, we offer services to certain of our customers where we manage some or all of their cash supply chains. In connection with these offerings, we take temporary title to certain customers' cash, which is included as restricted cash in our financial statements due to customer agreement or regulation. In addition, in accordance with a revolving credit facility, we are required to maintain a restricted cash reserve of $6.1 million ($5.0 million at December 31, 2020) and, due to this contractual restriction, we have classified these amounts as restricted cash.

New Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the way entities recognize impairment of many financial assets. This new guidance requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the life of the asset and incorporates estimated, forward-looking data when measuring lifetime Expected Credit Losses (ECL). The standard was designed to provide greater transparency and understanding of credit risk by requiring enhanced financial statement disclosures which fall into three general categories: ECL estimate methodology and assumptions, quantitative information and metrics, and policy and process explanations. We adopted the standard using the modified retrospective transition method. Results for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. We recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment decreasing retained earnings by $1.7 million on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard also resulted in expanded disclosures related to credit losses (see Note 10).

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod tax allocations and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. ASU 2019-12 was effective for us on January 1, 2021. We recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment increasing retained earnings by $0.5 million on January 1, 2021.

Note 2 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Performance Obligations

We provide various services to meet the needs of our customers and we group these service offerings into three broad categories: Core Services, High-Value Services and Other Security Services.

Core Services

Cash-in-transit ("CIT") and ATM services are core services we provide to customers throughout the world. We charge customers per service performed or based on the value of goods transported. CIT services generally involve the secure transportation of cash, securities and other valuables between businesses, financial institutions and central banks. ATM services are generally composed of management services, including cash replenishment and forecasting, remote monitoring, transaction processing, installation and maintenance.

High-Value Services

Our high-value services leverage our brand, global infrastructure and core services and include cash management services, global services and payment services. We offer a variety of cash management services such as currency and coin counting and sorting, deposit preparation and reconciliation, and safe device installation and servicing (including our CompuSafe® service). Our global services business provides secure ground, sea and air transportation and storage of highly-valued commodities including diamonds, jewelry, precious metals and other valuables. We also provide payment services which include bill payment and processing services on behalf of utility companies and other billers plus general purpose reloadable prepaid cards and payroll cards.

Other Security Services

Our other security services feature the protection of airports, offices, warehouses, stores, and public venues in Europe, Rest of World and Latin America.

For performance obligations related to the services described above, we generally satisfy our obligations as each action to provide the service to the customer occurs. Because the customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits from our services, these performance obligations are deemed to be satisfied over time. We use an output method, units of service provided, to recognize revenue because that is the best method to represent the transfer of our services to the customer at the agreed upon rate for each action.

Although not as significant as our service offerings, we also sell goods to customers from time to time, such as safe devices. In those transactions, we satisfy our performance obligation at a point in time. We recognize revenue when the goods are delivered to the customer as that is the point in time that best represents when control has transferred to the customer.

Our contracts with customers describe the services we can provide along with the fees for each action to provide the service. We typically send invoices to customers for all of the services we have provided within a monthly period and payments are generally due within 30 to 60 days of the invoice date.

Although our customer contracts specify the fees for each action to provide service, the majority of the services stated in our contracts do not have a defined quantity over the contract term. Accordingly, the transaction price is considered variable as there is an unknown volume of services that will be rendered over the course of the contract. We recognize revenue for these services in the period in which they are provided to the customer based on the contractual rate at which we have the right to invoice the customer for each action.

Some of our contracts with customers contain clauses that define the level of service that the customer will receive. The service level agreements (“SLA”) within those contracts contain specific calculations to determine whether the appropriate level of service has been met within a specific period, which is typically a month. We estimate SLA penalties and recognize the amounts as a reduction to revenue.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The majority of our revenues from contracts with customers are earned by providing services and these performance obligations are satisfied over time. Smaller amounts of revenues are earned from selling goods, such as safes, to customers where the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time.

Certain of our high-value services involve the leasing of assets, such as safes, to our customers along with the regular servicing of those safe devices. Revenues related to the leasing of these assets are recognized in accordance with applicable lease guidance, but are included in the above table as the amounts are a small percentage of overall revenues.

Contract Balances

Contract Asset

Although payment terms and conditions can vary, for the majority of our customer contracts, we invoice for all of the services provided to the customer within a monthly period. For certain customer contracts, the timing of our performance may precede our right to invoice the customer for the total transaction price. For example, Brink's affiliates in certain countries, primarily in South America, negotiate annual price adjustments with certain customers and, once the price increases are finalized, the pricing changes are made retroactive to services provided in earlier periods. These retroactive pricing adjustments are estimated and recognized as revenue with a corresponding contract asset in the same period in which the related services are performed. As the estimate of the ultimate transaction price changes, we recognize a cumulative catch-up adjustment for the change in estimate. Contract assets are included in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Contract Liability

For other customer contracts, we may obtain the right to payment or receive customer payments prior to performing the related services under the contract. When the right to customer payments or receipt of payments precedes our performance, we recognize a contract liability, which is included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The opening and closing balances of receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities related to contracts with customers are as follows:

(In millions)	Receivables		Contract Asset	Contract Liability
Opening (January 1, 2021)	$	679.1	0.4	15.1
Closing (March 31, 2021)	689.3		0.5	16.9
Increase (decrease)	$	10.2	0.1	1.8

The amount of revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2021 that was included in the January 1, 2021 contract liability balance was $4.3 million. This revenue consists of services provided to customers who had prepaid for those services prior to the current year.

The amount of revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2021 from performance obligations satisfied in the prior year as a result of changes in the transaction price of our contracts with customers was not significant.

11

Contract Costs

Sales commissions directly related to obtaining new contracts with customers qualify for capitalization. These capitalized costs are amortized to expense ratably over the term of the contracts. At March 31, 2021, net capitalized costs to obtain contracts was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The capitalized amount at March 31, 2021 and amortization expense in the first three months of 2021 were not significant.

Practical Expedients

For the majority of our contracts with customers, we invoice a fixed amount for each unit of service we have provided. These contracts provide us with the right to invoice for an amount or rate that corresponds to the value we have delivered to our customers. The volume of services that will be provided to customers over the term is not known at inception of these contracts. Therefore, while the rate per unit of service is known, the transaction price itself is variable. For this reason, we recognize revenue from these contracts equal to the amount for which we have the contractual right to invoice the customers. Because we are not required to estimate variable consideration related to the transaction price in order to recognize revenue, we are also not required to estimate the variable consideration in order to provide certain disclosures. As a result, we have elected to use the optional exemption related to the disclosure of transaction prices, amounts allocated to remaining performance obligations and the future periods in which revenue will be recognized, sometimes referred to as backlog.

We have also elected to use the practical expedient for financing components related to our contract liabilities. We do not recognize interest expense on contracts for which the period between our receipt of customer payments and our service to the customer is one year or less.

Note 3 - Segment information

We identify our operating segments based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) allocates resources, assesses performance and makes decisions.  Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer.  Our CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources to each operating segment based on a profit or loss measure which, at the reportable segment level, excludes the following:

•Corporate expenses - include corporate headquarters costs, regional management costs, currency transaction gains and losses, adjustments to reconcile segment accounting policies to U.S. GAAP, and costs related to global initiatives.

•Other items not allocated to segments - certain significant items such as reorganization and restructuring actions that are evaluated on an individual basis by management and are not considered part of the ongoing activities of the business are excluded from segment results. We also exclude certain costs, gains and losses related to acquisitions and dispositions of assets and of businesses. Brink's Argentina is consolidated using our accounting policy for subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies. We have excluded from our segment results the impact of highly inflationary accounting in Argentina, including currency remeasurement losses. Incremental costs (primarily third party expenses) incurred related to the implementation and adoption of ASU 2016-02, the new lease accounting standard which was effective for us January 1, 2019, are excluded from segment results. We have also excluded from our segment results net charges related to an internal loss in our U.S. global services operations. The net impact of the internal loss includes costs incurred to reconstruct an accounts receivable subledger as well as estimated bad debt expense for uncollectible receivables, partially offset by revenue billed and collected, but not previously recorded as a result of the former non-management employee's embezzlement activities.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, we implemented changes to our organizational and management structure that resulted in changes to our operating segments. Previously, our business was managed and reported in three operating segments: North America, South America and Rest of World. We now manage our business in four segments, and segment results are reported by these four segments. The four segments are as follows:

•North America – operations in the U.S. and Canada, including the Brink’s Global Services ("BGS") line of business,

•Latin America – operations in Latin American countries where we have an ownership interest, including the BGS line of business. This segment includes operations in Mexico, which was previously reported in the North America segment,

•Europe – operations in European countries which primarily provide services outside of the BGS line of business. This segment includes the BGS line of business within these country operations, and

•Rest of World – operations in European countries which primarily provide BGS services. This segment includes other lines of business within these country operations. This segment also includes operations in the Middle East, Africa and Asia as well as BGS activity in Latin American countries where we do not have an ownership interest.

Previously disclosed information for all periods presented has been revised to reflect our current segment structure.

Prior to 2021, all business units within the operating segments followed an internal Brink's accounting policy for determining an allowance for doubtful accounts and recognizing bad debt expense. The allowance amounts reported by the operating segments were then reconciled to the required U.S. GAAP estimated consolidated allowance amount, and any differences were reported as part of Corporate expenses. During the first quarter of 2021, we changed the allowance calculation method of the U.S. business within the North America operating segment, in order to more closely align it with U.S. GAAP requirements. Differences between U.S. GAAP and existing internal policy were not significant for all other business units within the operating segments, and so no other changes were made, and reconciling amounts for those units will continue to be reported as part of Corporate expense. For the North America segment, the impact of this change in reporting was to reduce the segment allowance and to increase segment operating profit by $12.3 million in the first quarter of 2021. There was no net impact to consolidated results, as a corresponding offsetting adjustment occurred on Corporate expenses.

13

The following table summarizes our revenues and segment profit for each of our reportable segments and reconciles these amounts to consolidated revenues and operating profit:

	Revenues			Operating Profit

(a)This line item includes an adjustment to bad debt expense reported by the segments to the estimated consolidated amount required by U.S. GAAP.

(b)Management periodically implements restructuring actions in targeted sections of our business. Due to the unique circumstances around the charges related to these actions, they have not been allocated to segment results.

(c)Certain acquisition and disposition items that are not considered part of the ongoing activities of the business and are special in nature are consistently excluded from segment results. These items include amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets and integration, transaction and restructuring costs related to business acquisitions.

(d)Beginning in the third quarter of 2018, we designated Argentina's economy as highly inflationary for accounting purposes. Currency remeasurement gains and losses related to peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities as well as incremental expense related to nonmonetary assets are excluded from segment results.

Note 4 - Retirement benefits

Pension plans

We have various defined-benefit pension plans covering eligible current and former employees.  Benefits under most plans are based on salary and years of service.

The components of net periodic pension cost for our pension plans were as follows:

	U.S. Plans			Non-U.S. Plans		Total
(In millions)	2021		2020	2021	2020	2021	2020
Three months ended March 31,
Service cost	$	—	—	2.2	2.9	2.2	2.9
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation	5.3		6.6	2.9	2.4	8.2	9.0
Return on assets – expected	(11.8)		(11.5)	(3.1)	(2.6)	(14.9)	(14.1)
Amortization of losses	8.4		6.9	1.6	1.2	10.0	8.1
Settlement loss	—		—	0.4	0.4	0.4	0.4
Net periodic pension cost	$	1.9	2.0	4.0	4.3	5.9	6.3

We did not make cash contributions to the primary U.S. pension plan in 2020 or the first three months of 2021. Based on current assumptions and funding regulations, we are not required to make a contribution to our primary U.S. plan for the remainder of 2021.

Retirement benefits other than pensions

We provide retirement healthcare benefits for eligible current and former U.S., Canadian, and Brazilian employees.  Retirement benefits related to our former U.S. coal operations include medical benefits provided by the Pittston Coal Group Companies Employee Benefit Plan for United Mine Workers of America Represented Employees (the “UMWA plans”) as well as costs related to Black Lung obligations.

The components of net periodic postretirement cost related to retirement benefits other than pensions were as follows:

	UMWA Plans			Black Lung and Other Plans		Total
(In millions)	2021		2020	2021	2020	2021	2020
Three months ended March 31,
Interest cost on accumulated postretirement benefit obligations	$	2.5	3.3	0.8	0.9	3.3	4.2
Return on assets – expected	(3.1)		(3.3)	—	—	(3.1)	(3.3)

Note 5 - Income taxes

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021			2020
Continuing operations
Provision (benefit) for income taxes (in millions)	$	13.6		(12.2)
Effective tax rate	46.9		%	129.8	%

2021 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate

The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first three months of 2021 was greater than the 21% U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the geographical mix of earnings, the seasonality of book losses for which no tax benefit can be recorded, nondeductible expenses in Mexico, taxes on cross border payments and U.S. taxable income limitations, and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax.

2020 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate

The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first three months of 2020 was greater than the 21% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the geographical mix of earnings, the seasonality of book losses for which no tax benefit can be recorded, nondeductible expenses in Mexico, taxes on cross border payments and U.S. taxable income limitations, and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax, partially offset by the tax benefits related to the distribution of share-based payments.

Note 6 - Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisitions

We account for 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations include the results of operations for each acquired entity from the date of acquisition.

G4S plc ("G4S") Acquisitions

On February 26, 2020, we announced that we agreed to acquire the majority of the cash management operations of U.K.-based G4S, with closings planned in multiple phases in 2020. In March 2020, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of G4S International Logistics Group Limited ("G4Si"), a company which directly or indirectly owns controlling interests in multiple businesses providing secure international transportation of valuables. In the second quarter of 2020, we acquired cash management operations from G4S located in the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Romania, the Czech Republic, Malaysia, the Dominican Republic and the Philippines. In the third quarter of 2020, we acquired operations in Indonesia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. In the first quarter of 2021, we acquired operations in Macau, Luxembourg and Kuwait, which completed the remaining planned G4S transactions. For the majority of the acquisitions in 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, we acquired 100% of the ownership interests. In Malaysia, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines, Indonesia and Kuwait, we acquired ownership interests of less than 100%. We believe that we meet the accounting criteria for consolidating these subsidiaries. In the aggregate, the purchase consideration for the G4S acquisitions in 2020 and the first three months of 2021 is $836.9 million. We have also paid G4S approximately $114 million for net intercompany receivables from the acquired subsidiaries. The G4S businesses acquired generated approximately $800 million in annual revenues in 2019.

The contingent consideration noted in the following table below is related to the acquisition of the Malaysia operations. The consideration will be paid when minimum dividend distributions are received by Brink's relating to cash on the balance sheets of the Malaysia subsidiaries as of the acquisition date. 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 full $22 million that remains potentially payable as of March 31, 2021 as we believe it is unlikely that the contingent consideration payments will be reduced.

We finalized our purchase price accounting in the first quarter of 2021 for the businesses we acquired in March 2020. For the remaining businesses acquired from G4S, 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 in areas such as property and equipment, intangible assets, lease-related assets and liabilities, deferred taxes and goodwill. As a result, the allocation of the provisional purchase price may change in the future.

(In millions)	Estimated Fair Value at Acquisition Date
Fair value of purchase consideration
Cash paid through March 31, 2021	$	817.4
Contingent consideration	22.0
Liabilities assumed from seller	2.8
Indemnification asset	(5.3)
Fair value of purchase consideration	$	836.9
Fair value of net assets acquired
Cash	$	244.4
Restricted cash	30.1
Accounts receivable	145.7
Other current assets	31.4
Property and equipment, net	123.9
Right-of-use assets, net	77.5
Intangible assets(a)	206.0
Goodwill(b)	533.6
Other noncurrent assets	16.1
Current liabilities	(295.2)
Lease liabilities	(68.1)
Other noncurrent liabilities	(93.1)
Fair value of net assets acquired	$	952.3
Less: Fair value of noncontrolling interest	(115.4)
Fair value of purchase consideration	$	836.9

(a)Intangible assets are composed of customer relationships ($206 million fair value and 15 year amortization period).

(b)Consists of intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, combined with synergies expected from integrating G4S operations with our existing operations. Goodwill has been provisionally assigned to the Europe reporting unit ($191 million), the Rest of World reporting unit ($340 million) and the South America reporting unit ($3 million). We do not currently expect goodwill in these reporting units to be deductible for tax purposes.

These costs are classified in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as selling, general and administrative expenses.

Dispositions

On January 1, 2020, we sold 100% of our ownership interest in a French security services company for a net sales price of approximately

$11 million. We recognized a $4.7 million gain in the first three months of 2020 related to the sale of this business, which is reported in interest and other nonoperating income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The French security services company was part of the Europe reportable segment and reported revenues of $3 million in 2019.

We have outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies.  At March 31, 2021, the notional value of our short term outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $436 million, with average maturities of approximately one month.  These foreign currency forward and swap contracts primarily offset exposures in the euro and the British pound and are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded immediately in earnings. At March 31, 2021, the fair value of our short term foreign currency contracts was a net asset of approximately $8.0 million, of which $8.2 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $0.2 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2020, the fair value of these foreign currency contracts was a net asset of approximately $2.4 million, of which $3.5 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $1.1 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Amounts under these contracts were recognized in other operating income (expense) and in interest and other nonoperating income and expense as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2021		2020
Derivative instrument gains (losses) included in other operating income (expense)	$	10.5	1.3
Derivative instrument losses included in other nonoperating income (expense)(a)	—		(7.7)

(a)Represents losses on foreign currency forward contracts related to 2020 acquisition of business operations from G4S.

In the first quarter of 2019, we entered into a long term cross currency swap contract to hedge exposure in Brazilian real, which is designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. At March 31, 2021, the notional value of this long term contract was $93 million with a weighted-average maturity of 1.7 years. At March 31, 2021, the fair value of the long term cross currency swap contract was a $30.2 million net asset, of which $5.2 million is included in prepaid expenses and other and $25 million is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2020, the fair value of the long term cross currency swap contract was a $23.6 million net asset, of which a $3.2 million asset is included in prepaid and other assets and $20.4 million asset is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Amounts under this contract were recognized in other operating income (expense) to offset transaction gains or losses and in interest expense as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2021		2020
Derivative instrument gains included in other operating income (expense)	$	6.1	26.1
Offsetting transaction losses	(6.1)		(26.1)
Derivative instrument losses included in interest expense	(0.3)		(0.7)
Net derivative instrument gains	5.8		25.4

In the first quarter of 2019, we entered into ten interest rate swaps that hedge cash flow risk associated with changes in variable interest rates and that are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. At March 31, 2021, the notional value of these contracts was $400 million with a remaining weighted-average maturity of 1.5 years. At March 31, 2021, the fair value of these interest rate swaps was a net liability of $24.4 million, of which $9.7 million was included in accrued liabilities and $14.7 million was included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2020, the fair value of these interest rate swaps was a net liability of $29.0 million, of which $9.7 million was included in accrued liabilities and $19.3 million was included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The effect of these swaps is included in interest expense.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2021	2020
Derivative instrument losses included in interest expense	2.4	0.8

The fair values of these forward and swap contracts are based on the present value of net future cash payments and receipts, which we have categorized as a Level 2 valuation.

Other Financial Instruments

Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, floating rate debt, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The financial statement carrying amounts of these items approximate the fair value.

There were no transfers in or out of any of the levels of the valuation hierarchy in the first three months of 2021.

Long-Term Debt

Senior Secured Credit Facility

In April 2020, we amended our senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent to increase the term loan borrowing by $590 million. After the amendment, the Senior Secured Credit Facility consisted of a $1 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and $1.39 billion of term loans (the "Term Loans"). The proceeds of the incremental term loan borrowings were used to repay outstanding principal under the Revolving Credit Facility as well as certain fees, costs and expenses related to the closing of the G4S acquisition.

In June 2020, we amended our Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, change the methodology for calculating the Company’s leverage ratio by using a net first lien leverage ratio (net secured debt leverage ratio) instead of a total net debt leverage ratio.

All Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loans will mature five years after the first amendment date to the Senior Secured Credit Facility on February 8, 2024. Principal payments for the Term Loans are due quarterly in an amount equal to 1.25% of the initial loan amount with a final lump sum payment due on February 8, 2024. Interest rates for the Senior Secured Credit Facility are based on LIBOR plus a margin or an alternate base rate plus a margin. The Revolving Credit Facility allows us to borrow money or issue letters of credit (or otherwise satisfy credit needs) on a revolving basis over the term of the facility. As of March 31, 2021, $896 million was available under the Revolving Credit Facility. The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, including a first-priority lien on equity interests of certain of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries also guarantee the obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The margin on both LIBOR and alternate base rate borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is based on the Company’s total net debt leverage ratio. The margin on LIBOR borrowings, which can range from 1.25% to 2.50%, was 2% at March 31, 2021. The margin on alternate base rate borrowings, which can range from 0.25% to 1.50%, was 1% as of March 31, 2021. We also pay an annual commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The commitment fee, which can range from 0.15% to 0.35%, was 0.3% as of March 31, 2021.

Senior Unsecured Notes

In June 2020, we issued at par five-year senior unsecured notes (the "2020 Senior Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $400 million. The 2020 Senior Notes will mature on July 15, 2025 and bear an annual interest rate of 5.5%. The 2020 Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future U.S. subsidiaries, which are also guarantors under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

In October 2017, we issued at par ten-year senior unsecured notes (the "2017 Senior Notes" and together with the 2020 Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $600 million. The 2017 Senior Notes will mature on October 15, 2027 and bear an

22

annual interest rate of 4.625%. The 2017 Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future U.S. subsidiaries, which are also guarantors under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The Senior Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The notes were offered in the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exception from registration set forth in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The aggregate proceeds from the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the 2017 Senior Notes were used in part to repay certain prior indebtedness and certain fees and expenses related to the closing of the transactions. Borrowings were used for working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. The aggregate proceeds from the 2020 Senior Notes were used in part to repay certain existing indebtedness incurred in connection with the G4S acquisition, finance the remaining G4S acquisition transactions and pay certain fees and expenses related to the transactions. Remaining net proceeds from the 2020 Senior Notes were used for working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.

Letter of Credit Facilities and Bank Guarantee Facilities

We have four committed letter of credit facilities totaling $68 million, of which approximately$18 million was available at March 31, 2021. At March 31, 2021, we had undrawn letters of credit and guarantees of $50 million issued under these facilities. We have two $10 million facilities. The first $10 million facility expires in April 2022 while the second $10 million facility has no expiration date, the $32 million facility expires in December 2022 and the $16 million facility expires in January 2024.

We have two uncommitted letter of credit facilities totaling $55 million, of which approximately $32 million was available at March 31, 2021. At March 31, 2021, we had undrawn letters of credit and guarantees of $23 million issued under these facilities. A $40 million facility expires in December 2021 and a $15 million facility has no expiration date.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility is also available for issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Unsecured Notes, the Letter of Credit Facilities and Bank Guarantee Facilities contain various financial and other covenants. The financial covenants, among other things, limit our ability to provide liens, restrict fundamental changes, limit transactions with affiliates and unrestricted subsidiaries, restrict changes to our fiscal year and to organizational documents, limit asset dispositions, limit the use of proceeds from asset sales, limit sale and leaseback transactions, limit investments, limit the ability to incur debt, restrict certain payments to shareholders, limit negative pledges, limit the ability to change the nature of our business, provide for a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio and provide for minimum coverage of interest costs. If we were not to comply with the terms of our various financing agreements, the repayment terms could be accelerated and the commitments could be withdrawn. An acceleration of the repayment terms under one agreement could trigger the acceleration of the repayment terms under the other financing agreements. We were in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2021.

Note 10 - Credit losses

We are exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of our Core and High-Value services to customers with operations in the U.S. as well as customers in more than 100 countries outside the U.S. We typically invoice our customers on a monthly basis and payment terms are generally between 30 and 60 days.

We assess currently expected credit losses in our financial assets on a pool basis by aggregating financial assets with similar risk characteristics. We have pooled the financial assets by geographical location, specifically by country, because of the similarities within each country such as customers, payment terms, and services offered. Loss experience is monitored for each pool and we determine historical loss rates for each pool. These historical loss rates are the main assumption used in estimating expected credit losses over the life of the financial assets.

We monitor the aging of accounts receivables by country and write off any accounts that are deemed uncollectible. We also monitor any significant economic events to identify any current or expected trends and risks within a pool that could impact the collectability of outstanding accounts receivables balances that were not contemplated or relevant during a previous period.

The following table is a rollforward of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the three month period ended March 31, 2021.

Allowance for doubtful accounts:

(In millions)
December 31, 2020	$	30.7
Provision for uncollectible accounts receivable(a)	7.0
Write-offs and recoveries	(2.1)
Foreign currency exchange effects	(0.6)
March 31, 2021	$	35.0

(a)The provision in 2021 includes a $1.6 million reduction in allowance related to the internal loss in our U.S global services operations. See Note 1 for details.

Note 11 - Share-based compensation plans

We have share-based compensation plans to attract and retain employees and nonemployee directors and to more closely align their interests with those of our shareholders.

We have outstanding share-based awards granted to employees under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan ("2013 Plan") and the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan).  These plans permit grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units, stock appreciation rights, stock options, as well as other share-based awards to eligible employees.  The 2013 Plan and the 2017 Plan also permit cash awards to eligible employees.  The 2017 Plan became effective May 2017.  No further grants of awards will be made under the the 2013 Plan, although awards under this prior plan remain outstanding.

We also have outstanding deferred stock units granted to directors under the 2017 Plan. Share-based awards were previously granted to directors and remain outstanding under the Non-Employee Director's Equity Plan and the Directors’ Stock Accumulation Plan, which has expired.

Outstanding awards at March 31, 2021 include performance share units, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance-based stock options, time-based stock options and certain awards that will be settled in cash.

Compensation Expense

Compensation expense is measured using the fair-value-based method.  Prior to 2020, for employee and director awards considered equity grants, compensation expense is recognized from the award or grant date to the earlier of the retirement-eligible date or the vesting date. In 2020, the retirement eligibility provisions for many employee awards were changed on a go-forward basis to require a six month notification period prior to actual retirement.  For the 2020 awards, we recognize expense from the grant date to six months after the participant's retirement eligible date. In 2021, the retirement eligibility provisions were changed on a go-forward basis to require minimum of a one year service period in order to meet the retirement eligible conditions. For the 2021 awards, we recognize expense from the grant date to the earlier of the retirement-eligible date (provided it is not less than one year from the grant date) or the vesting date.

Compensation expenses are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Compensation expenses for the share-based awards were as follows:

	Compensation Expense
	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2021		2020
Performance share units	$	5.1	4.6
Restricted stock units	1.7		1.3
Deferred stock units and fees paid in stock	0.1		0.3
Performance-based stock options	0.3		0.7
Time-based vesting stock options	0.4		0.3
Cash based awards	0.8		—
Share-based payment expense	8.4		7.2
Income tax benefit	(1.9)		(1.6)
Share-based payment expense, net of tax	$	6.5	5.6

25

Performance-Based Stock Options

In 2018, 2017 and 2016, we granted performance-based stock options that have a service condition as well as a market condition. In addition, some of the awards granted in 2016 contained a non-financial performance condition. We measure the fair value of these performance-based options at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

The following table summarizes performance-based stock option activity during the first three months of 2021:

	Shares (in thousands)	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Outstanding balance as of December 31, 2020	1,165.0	$	11.17
Granted	—	—
Expired(a)	(184.7)	15.23
Exercised	(33.8)	14.72
Outstanding balance as of March 31, 2021	946.5	$	10.25

(a)Although the service condition had been met, these 2018 performance options expired in accordance with the terms of the underlying award agreement.

Time-Based Stock Options

We granted time-based stock options that contain only a service condition. We measure the fair value of these time-based options at the grant date using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model.

The following table summarizes time-based stock option activity during the first three months of 2021: 

	Shares (in thousands)	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value

Exercised	—	—
Outstanding balance as of March 31, 2021	207.8	$	21.38

Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)

We granted RSUs that contain only a service condition. We measure the fair value of RSUs based on the price of Brink’s stock at the grant date, adjusted for a discount for dividends not received or accrued during the vesting period.

The following table summarizes RSU activity during the first three months of 2021: 

	Shares (in thousands)	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value

Granted	85.6	79.02
Forfeited	(2.4)	78.33
Vested	(65.3)	77.82
Nonvested balance as of March 31, 2021	269.7	$	73.05

26

Performance Share Units ("PSUs”)

We granted Internal Metric PSUs ("IM PSUs") and Total Shareholder Return PSUs ("TSR PSUs").

IM PSUs contain a performance condition as well as a service condition. We measure the fair value of these PSUs based on the price of Brink’s stock at the grant date, adjusted for a discount for dividends not received or accrued during the vesting period. For the IM PSUs granted in 2021, the performance period is from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022.

TSR PSUs contain a market condition as well as a service condition. We measure the fair value of PSUs containing a market condition at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model.  For the TSR PSUs granted in 2021, the performance period is from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023.

The following table summarizes all PSU activity during the first three months of 2021:

	Shares (in thousands)	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2020	576.7	$	80.43
Granted	266.9	81.04
Forfeited	(7.1)	78.05
Vested(a)	(149.5)	74.03
Nonvested balance as of March 31, 2021	687.0	$	82.09

(a)The vested PSUs presented are based on the target amount of the award. In accordance with the terms of the underlying award agreements, the actual shares earned and distributed for the performance period ended December 31, 2020 were 246.9 thousand, compared to target shares of 149.5 thousand.

Deferred Stock Units ("DSUs")

We granted DSUs to our nonemployee directors in 2019 and in prior years. We measure the fair value of DSUs at the grant date, based on the price of Brink's stock, and, if applicable, adjusted for a discount for dividends not received or accrued during the vesting period.

DSUs granted after 2014 will be paid out in shares of Brink's stock on the first anniversary of the grant date, provided that the director has not elected to defer the distribution of shares until a later date. DSUs granted prior to 2015, in general, will be paid out in shares of stock following separation from service.

The following table summarizes all DSU activity during the first three months of 2021:

	Shares (in thousands)	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2020	21.6	$	40.46
Granted	0.2	82.57

Note 12 - Capital Stock

Common Stock

At March 31, 2021, we had 100 million shares of common stock authorized and 49.7 million shares issued and outstanding.    

Dividends

We paid regular quarterly dividends on our common stock during the last two years.  The payment of future dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and is dependent on our future earnings, financial condition, shareholder equity levels, cash flow, business requirements and other factors.

Preferred Stock

At March 31, 2021, we had the authority to issue up to 2.0 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $10 per share.

Share Repurchase Program

On February 6, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a $250 million share repurchase program that expires on December 31, 2021. Under the $250 million repurchase program, we are not obligated to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares.  The timing and volume of share repurchases may be executed at the discretion of management on an opportunistic basis, or pursuant to trading plans or other arrangements.  Share repurchases under this program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise.

At March 31, 2021, $200 million remained available under the $250 million repurchase program.

Argentina Currency Conversions

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. Conversions under these other market mechanisms generally settle at rates that are less favorable than the rates at which we remeasure the financial statements of Brink’s Argentina. The net cash flows from these transactions are treated as operating cash flows as the financial instruments are purchased specifically for resale and are generally sold within a short period of time from the date of purchase. We did not have any such conversions in the first three months of 2021 and 2020.

Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities

We acquired $7.8 million in armored vehicles and other equipment under financing lease arrangements in the first three months of 2021 compared to $13.2 million in armored vehicles and other equipment acquired under financing lease arrangements in the first three months of 2020.

Restricted Cash (Cash Supply Chain Services)

In France, we offer services to certain of our customers where we manage some or all of their cash supply chains. Providing this service requires our French subsidiary to take temporary title to the cash received from the management of our customers' cash supply chains until the cash is returned to the customers. The cash for which we have temporary title is restricted and cannot be used for any other purpose other than to service our customers who participate in this service offering. Prior to the third quarter of 2020, as part of this service offering, we entered into lending arrangements with some of our customers. Cash borrowed under these lending arrangements was used in the process of managing these customers' cash supply chains, was restricted and could not be used for any other purpose other than to service these customers.

In Malaysia, we offer ATM replenishment services to certain of our financial institution customers. Providing this service requires our Malaysia subsidiary to take temporary title to the cash received in advance of ATM replenishment. The cash for which we have temporary title is restricted and cannot be used for any other purpose other than to service our customers who participate in this service offering.

In accordance with a revolving credit facility, we are required to maintain a restricted cash reserve of $6.1 million ($5.0 million at December 31, 2020) and, due to this contractual restriction, we have classified these amounts as restricted cash.

At March 31, 2021, we held $274.2 million of restricted cash ($134.6 million represented restricted cash held for customers and $132.2 million represented accrued liabilities). At December 31, 2020, we held $322.0 million of restricted cash ($199.5 million represented restricted cash held for customers and $113.7 million represented accrued liabilities).

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

	March 31,		December 31,
(In millions)	2021		2020
Cash and cash equivalents	$	598.1	620.9

Note 14 - Contingent matters

In August 2020, the Company received a subpoena issued in connection with an investigation being conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”). The Company is fully cooperating with the investigation and responding to requests from the DOJ for documents and other information, primarily related to cross-border shipments of cash and things of value and anti-money laundering compliance. Given that the investigation is still ongoing and that no civil or criminal claims have been brought to date, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigation, the timing of the ultimate resolution of the matter, or reasonably estimate the possible range of loss, if any, that may result from this matter. Accordingly, no accruals have been made with respect to this matter.

During the fourth quarter of 2018, we became aware of an investigation initiated by the Chilean Fiscalía Nacional Económica (the Chilean antitrust agency) related to potential anti-competitive practices among competitors in the cash logistics industry in Chile.  Because no legal proceedings have been initiated against Brink’s Chile, we cannot estimate the probability of loss or any range of possible loss at this time.  It is possible, however, that Brink’s Chile could become the subject of legal or administrative claims or proceedings that could result in a loss in a future period.

In addition, we are involved in various other lawsuits and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not able to estimate the loss or range of losses for some of these matters. We have recorded accruals for losses that are considered probable and reasonably estimable. Except as otherwise noted, we do not believe that it is reasonably possible the ultimate disposition of any of the lawsuits currently pending against the Company could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

Note 15 - Reorganization and Restructuring

Other Restructurings

Management periodically implements restructuring actions in targeted sections of our business. As a result of these actions, we recognized net costs of $5.6 million in the first three months of 2020, primarily severance costs. We recognized $6.6 million net costs in the first three months of 2021, primarily severance costs. For the restructuring actions that have not yet been completed, we expect to incur additional costs between $3 million and $5 million in future periods.

The following table summarizes the changes in the accrued liability for costs incurred, payments and utilization, and foreign currency exchange effects of other restructurings:

(In millions)	Severance Costs		Other	Total
Balance as of January 1, 2021	$	9.3	—	9.3
Expense	5.3		1.3	6.6
Payments and utilization	(4.7)		(1.3)	(6.0)

Note 16 - Subsequent Events

Acquisition of ATM Services Provider

On April 1, 2021, we acquired PAI, Inc. ("PAI") for approximately $213 million. PAI is the largest privately-held provider of ATM services in the U.S. and is expected to generate approximately $320 million in annual revenues.

Cross Currency Swaps

On April 26, 2021, we entered into a series of cross currency swaps with a combined notional amount of $400 million, to hedge a portion of our net investments in certain subsidiaries with euro as their functional currency. Under these ten-year agreements, we will pay interest of EUR 0.00% and receive interest of USD 1.51%. These interest amounts will be recognized in earnings over the duration of the swaps. The spot-to-spot changes in the fair values of these swaps will be recognized in foreign currency translation, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), to offset the changes in the values of the net investments being hedged.

THE BRINK’S COMPANY

and subsidiaries

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Brink’s Company (along with its subsidiaries, “Brink’s”, the “Company,” “we”, “us” or “our”) offers transportation and logistics management services for cash and valuables throughout the world.  These services include:

•Cash-in-transit (“CIT”) services – armored vehicle transportation of valuables

•ATM services – replenishing and maintaining customers’ automated teller machines; providing network infrastructure services

•Global services – secure international transportation of valuables

•Cash management services

◦Currency and coin counting and sorting; deposit preparation and reconciliations; other cash management services

◦Safe and safe control device installation and servicing (including our patented CompuSafe® service)

◦Vaulting services

◦Check imaging services

•Payment services – bill payment and processing services on behalf of utility companies and other billers at any of our Brink’s or Brink’s-operated  payment locations in Brazil, Colombia, Panama, and Mexico and Brink’s Money™ general purpose reloadable prepaid cards and payroll cards in the U.S.

•Commercial security systems services – design and installation of security systems in designated markets in Europe

•Guarding services – protection of airports, offices, and certain other locations in Europe, Rest of World and Latin America with or without electronic surveillance, access control, fire prevention and highly trained patrolling personnel

We identify our operating segments based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) allocates resources, assesses performance and makes decisions.  Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer.  Our CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources to each operating segment based on an operating profit or loss measure, excluding income and expenses not allocated to segments.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, we implemented changes to our organizational and management structure primarily related to our acquisition of the majority of the cash operations of G4S plc ("G4S") that resulted in changes to our operating segments. Previously, our business was managed and reported in three operating segments: North America, South America and Rest of World. We now manage our business in four segments, and segment results are reported by these four segments. The four segments are as follows:

•North America – operations in the U.S. and Canada, including the Brink’s Global Services ("BGS") line of business,

•Latin America – operations in Latin American countries where we have an ownership interest, including the BGS line of business. This segment includes operations in Mexico, which was previously reported in the North America segment,

•Europe – operations in European countries that primarily provide services outside of the BGS line of business. This segment includes the BGS line of business within these country operations, and

•Rest of World – operations in European countries that primarily provide BGS services. This segment includes other lines of business within these country operations. This segment also includes operations in the Middle East, Africa and Asia as well as BGS activity in Latin American countries where we do not have an ownership interest.

Prior period information has been revised to reflect our current segment structure.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COVID-19 Pandemic Impact

We are closely monitoring developments related to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which has created global volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption.  We have taken and continue to take steps to mitigate the potential risks to our employees, our customers and our business around the world.  We are focused on three priorities:

•Protecting our people and providing essential services to our customers;

•Preserving cash and optimizing profitability; and

•Positioning Brink’s to be stronger on the other side of the crisis.

The COVID-19 pandemic began to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has created volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption for Brink’s, our customers and vendors, and the markets in which we do business. During 2020 and continuing into 2021 health conditions and economic activity in the countries in which we operate have been significantly impacted by government, customer and consumer actions in response to the pandemic. These actions have led to reduced customer volumes, changes to our operating procedures and increases to our costs to provide services. We have taken and continue to take actions to adjust the way we operate and reduce our costs through restructuring activities and operational changes to address these impacts and align to future anticipated revenue levels.

We are continually assessing the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic, and the actions taken in response to it, will have on our employees, businesses and segments, customers and vendors and the industries that we serve. The full impact depends on many factors that are uncertain or not yet identifiable. We expect these factors will continue to impact our financial condition and our results of operations for a duration that is currently unknown.

In addition, we cannot predict whether future developments associated with the COVID-19 pandemic will have a materially adverse effect on our long-term liquidity position. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, in addition to the steps we began taking to reduce expenses, we also began taking steps to reduce capital expenditures, including suspending our fleet replacement program, and optimizing our working capital to conserve our liquidity.  We believe we continue to have sufficient liquidity to meet our current obligations.  This is, however, an evolving situation, and we cannot predict the extent or duration of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of it on the global, national or local economy, including the impacts on our ability to access capital, or its effects on our business, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

We will continue to monitor developments affecting our employees, customers and operations and take additional steps to address the spread of COVID-19 and its impacts, as necessary.

Refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below for further discussion.

Consolidated Review

GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We provide an analysis of our operations below on both a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and non-GAAP basis.  The purpose of the non-GAAP information is to report our operating profit, income from continuing operations and earnings per share without certain income and expense items that do not reflect the regular earnings of our operations.  The non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide investors with a supplemental comparison of our operating results and trends for the periods presented. Our management believes these measures are also useful to investors as they allow investors to evaluate our performance using the same metrics that our management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. We do not consider these items to be reflective of our core operating performance due to the variability of these items from period-to-period in terms of size, nature and significance.  The non-GAAP adjustments used to reconcile our GAAP results are described on pages 37–38 and are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures on pages 43–45.

Definition of Organic Growth

Organic growth represents the change in revenues or operating profit between the current and prior period, excluding the effect of acquisitions and dispositions and changes in currency exchange rates. See definitions on page 35.

GAAP Basis

Analysis of Consolidated Results: First Quarter 2021 versus First Quarter 2020

Consolidated Revenues  Revenues increased $104.9 million due to the favorable impact of acquisitions and dispositions ($170.2 million) and an organic increase in Latin America ($0.6 million), partially offset by organic decreases in North America ($27.5 million), Europe ($25.2 million), and Rest of World ($3.9 million), and the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($9.3 million). The unfavorable currency impact was driven primarily by the Argentine peso and Brazilian real, partially offset by the euro. Revenues decreased 6% on an organic basis primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. See above for our definition of “organic.”

Consolidated Costs and Expenses  Cost of revenues increased 9% to $758.8 million primarily due to the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by organic decreases in labor and other operational costs, including cost saving actions related to COVID-19. Selling, general and administrative costs increased 4% to $154.3 million due to the impact of acquisitions and higher corporate expenses, partially offset by lower charges incurred related to an internal loss in the U.S. global services operations.

Consolidated Operating Profit  Operating profit increased $35.5 million due mainly to:

•organic increases in North America ($18.9 million), Rest of World ($10.8 million), Latin America ($7.1 million), and Europe ($0.3 million),

•the favorable operating impact of business acquisitions and dispositions ($12.8 million), excluding intangible amortization and acquisition-related charges, and

•lower charges incurred, primarily bad debt expense, related to an internal loss in the U.S. global services operations ($10.4 million), included in “Other items not allocated to segments”,

partially offset by:

•higher corporate expenses on an organic basis ($18.0 million), and

•unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates ($6.2 million) driven by the Argentine peso and Brazilian real and higher costs related to the impact of highly inflationary accounting in Argentina, partially offset by lower foreign currency transaction losses.

33

Consolidated Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to Brink’s and Related Per Share Amounts  Income from continuing operations attributable to Brink’s shareholders increased $10.9 million to $12.7 million due to the increase in operating profit mentioned above and lower interest and other non-operating expense ($10.1 million), partially offset by higher income tax expense ($25.8 million), higher interest expense ($7.2 million), and higher non-controlling interest ($1.7 million). Earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.25, up from $0.03 in the first quarter of 2020.

Non-GAAP Basis

Analysis of Consolidated Results: First Quarter 2021 versus First Quarter 2020

Non-GAAP Consolidated Revenues  Non-GAAP revenues increased $104.9 million due to the favorable impact of acquisitions and dispositions ($170.2 million) and an organic increase in Latin America ($0.6 million), partially offset by organic decreases in North America ($27.5 million), Europe ($25.2 million), and Rest of World ($3.9 million), and the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($9.3 million). The unfavorable currency impact was driven primarily by the Argentine peso and Brazilian real, partially offset by the euro. Revenues decreased 6% on an organic basis primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. See above for our definition of “organic.”

Non-GAAP Consolidated Operating Profit Non-GAAP operating profit increased $27.0 million due mainly to:

•organic increases in North America ($18.9 million), Rest of World ($10.8 million), Latin America ($7.1 million), and Europe ($0.3 million), and

•the favorable operating impact of business acquisitions and dispositions ($12.8 million), excluding intangible amortization and acquisition-related charges,

partially offset by:

•higher corporate expenses on an organic basis ($18.0 million),

•unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates ($4.9 million) driven by the Argentine peso and Brazilian real, partially offset by lower foreign currency transaction losses

Non-GAAP Consolidated Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to Brink’s and Related Per Share Amounts  Non-GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to Brink’s shareholders increased $15.5 million to $41.3 million due to the operating profit increase mentioned above and lower interest and other non-operating expense ($6.0 million), partially offset by higher income tax expense ($8.0 million), higher interest expense ($7.6 million), and higher non-controlling interest ($1.9 million). Earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.82, up from $0.50 in the first quarter of 2020.

(f)First quarter 2021 North America operating profit benefited $12.3 million from a change in our method to calculate the allowance for doubtful accounts, with an offsetting higher expense at Corporate. There was no net impact on consolidated operating profit. See further discussion below in Analysis of Segment Results.

Analysis of Segment Results: First Quarter 2021 versus First Quarter 2020

North America

Revenues decreased 7% ($23.8 million) primarily due to an 8% organic decrease ($27.5 million), partially offset by the favorable impact of currency exchange rates ($2.0 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($1.7 million). Organic revenue decreased primarily from lower volumes due to the COVID-19 pandemic throughout the segment. Operating profit increased $18.9 million due to an organic increase. The increase was driven by a change to the allowance for doubtful accounts calculation method of the segment’s U.S. business, which resulted in a $12.3 million operating profit increase, and which was offset by a $12.3 million increase to Corporate expense, resulting in no impact to consolidated operating profit for the quarter. Historically, all Brink’s business units followed an internal Company policy for determining an allowance for doubtful accounts and the allowances were then reconciled to the required U.S. GAAP estimated consolidated allowance, with any differences reported as part of Corporate expense. Other than for the U.S. business, the reconciling differences were not significant. We changed the U.S. calculation of the allowance in order to more closely align it with the U.S. GAAP consolidated calculation and to minimize reconciling differences, resulting in the offsetting $12.3 million adjustments to align the methods. The remaining increase to North America segment profit was driven by labor and other operational cost management and saving actions throughout the segment, including those taken in response to COVID-19 and government COVID-19 assistance in Canada.

Latin America

Revenues decreased 10% ($29.3 million) primarily due to the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($35.3 million) primarily from Argentine peso and Brazilian real, partially offset by the favorable impact of acquisitions ($5.4 million) and an organic increase ($0.6 million). The organic increase was due to organic growth in Argentina driven by inflation-based price increases, mostly offset by lower volumes across the region due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating profit was down 3% ($1.8 million) primarily due to unfavorable currency ($9.3 million), partially offset by a 12% organic increase ($7.1 million), including the benefit of labor and other operational cost saving actions, and the favorable impact of acquisitions and dispositions ($0.4 million). The organic increase was driven by Argentina, Brazil and Mexico.

35

Europe

Revenues increased 70% ($88.1 million) due to the favorable impact of acquisitions and dispositions ($96.3 million) and currency exchange rates ($17.0 million), partially offset by a 20% organic decrease ($25.2 million). The favorable currency impact was driven by the euro. The organic decrease was primarily due to lower volumes throughout the region driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating profit increased $8.5 million to $10.6 million primarily due to the favorable impact of acquisitions and dispositions ($7.5 million), the favorable impact of currency exchange rates ($0.7 million), and an organic increase of 14% ($0.3 million). The organic increase was primarily due to the impact of labor and other operational cost saving actions, including those taken in response to COVID-19. Results were also helped by government COVID-19 assistance in several countries, which offset the impact of revenue declines.

Rest of World

Revenues increased 66% ($69.9 million) due to the favorable impact of acquisitions and dispositions ($66.8 million) and currency exchange rates ($7.0 million), partially offset by a 4% organic decrease ($3.9 million). The organic decrease was primarily due to lower volumes throughout the region driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by higher global services revenue. Operating profit increased $16.8 million primarily due to a 79% organic increase ($10.7 million), the favorable impact of acquisitions and dispositions ($4.9 million), and the favorable impact of currency exchange rates ($1.2 million). The organic increase was primarily due to global services growth and the impact of labor and other operational cost saving actions, including those taken in response to COVID-19.

Corporate expenses	$	(41.9)	(26.5)	58

Corporate expenses for the first three months of 2021 increased $15.4 million versus the prior year period primarily driven by higher bad debt expense reported in Corporate expense as part of the reconciliation of segment accounting policies to U.S. GAAP. The bad debt expense increase excludes the impact of the internal loss in our U.S. global services operations described on the next page. The increase in bad debt expense was partially offset by a reduction in security-related costs and lower foreign currency transaction losses in the current year period. Corporate expenses include corporate headquarters costs, regional management costs, currency transaction gains and losses, costs related to global initiatives and adjustments to reconcile segment accounting policies to U.S. GAAP.

The impact of other items not allocated to segments was a loss of $28.4 million in the first three months of 2021 versus the prior year period loss of $36.9 million. The change was primarily due to a reduction in net charges recognized in the current year period related to an internal loss in the U.S. global services operations. This favorable change was partially offset by an increase in the negative impact of highly inflationary accounting in Argentina and higher reorganization and restructuring expenses.

Reorganization and Restructuring

Other Restructurings

Management periodically implements restructuring actions in targeted sections of our business. As a result of these actions, we recognized charges of $5.6 million in the first three months of 2020, primarily severance costs. We recognized $6.6 million net costs in the first three months of 2021, primarily severance costs. When completed, the current restructuring actions will reduce our workforce by 1,500 to 1,700 positions and result in annualized cost savings of $18 million to $23 million. For the restructuring actions that have not yet been completed, we expect to incur additional costs between $3 million and $5 million in future periods. These estimates will be updated as management targets additional sections of our business.

Due to the unique circumstances around these charges, they have not been allocated to segment results and are excluded from non-GAAP results. Charges related to the employees, assets, leases and contracts impacted by these restructuring actions were excluded from the segments and corporate expenses as shown in the table below.

Acquisitions and dispositions Certain acquisition and disposition items that are not considered part of the ongoing activities of the business and are special in nature are consistently excluded from segment and non-GAAP results. These items are described below:

2021 Acquisitions and Dispositions

•Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $9.9 million in the first three months of 2021.

•We incurred $4.1 million in integration costs, primarily related to G4S, in the first three months of 2021.

•Transaction costs related to business acquisitions were $2.4 million in the first three months of 2021.

•Restructuring costs related to acquisitions were $2.3 million in the first three months of 2021.

2020 Acquisitions and Dispositions

•Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $7.2 million in the first three months of 2020.

•We incurred $5.5 million in integration costs primarily related to Dunbar in the first three months of 2020.

•Transaction costs related to business acquisitions were $5.5 million in the first three months of 2020.

•Restructuring costs related to acquisitions, primarily Dunbar, were $0.4 million in the first three months of 2020.

Argentina highly inflationary impact Beginning in the third quarter of 2018, we designated Argentina's economy as highly inflationary for accounting purposes. As a result, Argentine peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are now remeasured at each balance sheet date to the currency exchange rate then in effect, with currency remeasurement gains and losses recognized in earnings. In addition, nonmonetary assets retain a higher historical basis when the currency is devalued. The higher historical basis results in incremental expense being recognized when the nonmonetary assets are consumed. In the first three months of 2021, we recognized $3.9 million in pretax charges related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $3.0 million. In the first three months of 2020, we recognized $2.4 million in pretax charges related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $1.6 million. These amounts are excluded from segment and non-GAAP results.

Internal loss A former non-management employee in our U.S. global services operations embezzled funds from Brink's in prior years. Except for a small deductible amount, the amount of the internal loss related to the embezzlement of funds was covered by our insurance. In an effort to cover up the embezzlement, the former employee intentionally misstated the underlying accounts receivable subledger data. In the first three months of 2020, we incurred $0.2 million in costs related to activities to reconstruct the accounts receivables subledger.

Based on the reconstructed subledger, we were able to analyze and quantify the uncollected receivables from prior periods. Although we plan to attempt to collect these receivables, we estimated an increase to bad debt expense of $9.4 million in the first three months of 2020. In the first three months of 2021, we recognized a decrease in bad debt expense of $1.6 million, primarily related to collection of these receivables. This estimate will continue to be adjusted in future periods, if needed, as assumptions related to the collectability of these accounts receivable change.  We also recognized $0.8 million of legal charges in the first three months of 2021 as we attempt to collect additional insurance recoveries related to these receivable losses.

At March 31, 2021, we have recorded an $11.0 million allowance on $11.9 million of accounts receivable, or 92%. We have defined accounts receivable impacted by the embezzlement as accounts receivable recorded as of and prior to the third quarter of 2019. Due to the unusual nature of this internal loss and the related errors in the subledger data, along with the fact that management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance, we have excluded these net charges from segment and non-GAAP results.

Reporting compliance Certain compliance costs (primarily third party expenses) are excluded from segment and non-GAAP results. These costs relate to the implementation and January 1, 2019 adoption of the new lease accounting standard (amounts were not significant in the first three months of 2021 and $0.2 million in the first three months of 2020).

Foreign Operations

We currently serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 53 countries where we operate subsidiaries.

We are subject to risks customarily associated with doing business in foreign countries, including labor and economic conditions, the imposition of international sanctions, including by the U.S. government, political instability, controls on repatriation of earnings and capital, nationalization, expropriation and other forms of restrictive action by local governments. Changes in the political or economic environments in the countries in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The future effects, if any, of these risks are unknown. In April 2019, the U.S. government sanctioned the Venezuela central bank and, as a result, the Company has ceased support of the Venezuela business.

Our international operations conduct a majority of their business in local currencies. Because our financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, they are affected by changes in the value of various local currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. Recent strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to certain currencies has reduced our reported U.S. dollar revenues and operating profit and may continue in 2021.

At March 31, 2021, Argentina's economy remains highly inflationary for accounting purposes. At March 31, 2021, we had net monetary assets denominated in Argentine pesos of $37.8 million (including cash of $30.5 million) and net nonmonetary assets of $146.7 million (including $99.8 million of goodwill). At March 31, 2021, we had minimal equity securities denominated in Argentine pesos.

During September 2019, the Argentine government announced currency controls on both companies and individuals. Under the exchange procedures implemented by the central bank, approval is required for many transactions, including dividend repatriation abroad.

We have previously elected to use other market mechanisms to convert Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars. Conversions under these other market mechanisms generally settle at rates that are less favorable than the rates at which we remeasure the financial statements of Brink’s Argentina. We did not have any such conversion losses in the three months ended March 31, 2021 or in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Although the Argentine government has implemented currency controls, Brink’s management continues to provide guidance and strategic oversight, including budgeting and forecasting for Brink’s Argentina. We continue to control our Argentina business for purposes of consolidation of our financial statements and continue to monitor the situation in Argentina.

Changes in exchange rates may also affect transactions that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.  From time to time, we use short term foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies.  At March 31, 2021, the notional value of our short term outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $436 million with average contract maturities of approximately one month.  These short term foreign currency forward and swap contracts primarily offset exposures in the euro and the British pound.  Additionally, these short term contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded immediately in earnings. At March 31, 2021, the fair value of our short term foreign currency contracts was a net asset of approximately $8.0 million, of which $8.2 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $0.2 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2020, the fair value of these foreign currency contracts was a net asset of approximately $2.4 million, of which $3.5 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $1.1 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Amounts under these contracts were recognized in other operating income (expense) and in interest and other nonoperating income and expense as follows:

Derivative instrument gains (losses) included in other operating income (expense)	$	10.5	1.3
Derivative instrument losses included in other nonoperating income (expense)(a)	—		(7.7)

(a)Represents loss on foreign currency forward contracts related to 2020 acquisition of business operations from G4S.

We also have a long term cross currency swap contract to hedge exposure in Brazilian real, which is designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes.

Non-GAAP Results Reconciled to GAAP

Non-GAAP results described in this filing are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. The purpose of the non-GAAP results is to report financial information from the primary operations of our business by excluding the effects of certain income and expenses that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of our operations. The specific items excluded have not been allocated to segments, are described in detail on pages 37–38, and are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures below.

Non-GAAP results 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 estimated non-GAAP tax rate. The full-year non-GAAP tax rate in both years excludes certain pretax and income tax amounts. Amounts reported for prior periods have been updated in this report to present information consistently for all periods presented.

The Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide investors with a supplemental comparison of our operating results and trends for the periods presented. Our management believes these measures are also useful to investors as they allow investors to evaluate our performance using the same metrics that our management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. We do not consider these items to be reflective of our operating performance as they result from events and circumstances that are not a part of our core business. Additionally, non-GAAP results are utilized as performance measures in certain management incentive compensation plans.

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.

The full-year non-GAAP effective tax rate is estimated at 31.8% for 2021 and was 31.8% for 2020.

(d)Our U.S. retirement plans are frozen and costs related to these plans are excluded from non-GAAP results. Certain non-U.S. operations also have retirement plans. Settlement charges related to these non-U.S. plans are also excluded from non-GAAP results.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $14.9 million in the first three months of 2021 as compared to the first three months of 2020.  Cash used for investing activities increased by $28.1 million in the first three months of 2021 compared to the first three months of 2020. We financed our liquidity needs in the first three months of 2021 with existing cash and cash flows from long-term debt.

(a)To adjust for the change in the balance of customer obligations related to cash received and processed in certain of our secure cash management services 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.

Non-GAAP cash flows from operating activities is a supplemental financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. The purpose of this non-GAAP measure is to report financial information excluding cash flows from restricted cash held for customers, the impact of cash received and processed in certain of our secure cash management services operations and the impact of payments made to G4S for net intercompany receivables from the acquired subsidiaries. We believe this measure is helpful in assessing cash flows from operations, enables period-to-period comparability and is useful in predicting future operating cash flows. This non-GAAP measure 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.

GAAP

Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $14.9 million in the first three months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.  The decrease was attributed to restricted cash held for customers (restricted cash held for customers decreased by $66.4 million in 2021 compared to an increase of $81.2 million in 2020) and higher amounts paid for interest (we had $25.7 million in cash payments for interest in 2021 as compared to $12.1 million in 2020), offset by changes in customer obligations related to certain of our secure cash management services operations (certain customer obligations increased by $18.4 million in 2021 compared to a decrease of $6.2 million in 2020) and other changes in working capital.

Non-GAAP

Non-GAAP cash flows from operating activities increased by $110.7 million in the first three months of 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020.  The increase was attributed to other changes in working capital offset by higher amounts paid for interest.

(b)Represents the amount of property and equipment acquired using financing leases.  Because the assets are acquired without using cash, the acquisitions are not reflected in the condensed consolidated cash flow statement.  Amounts are provided here to assist in the comparison of assets acquired in the current year versus prior years.

Non-GAAP capital expenditures and non-GAAP depreciation and amortization are supplemental financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. The purpose of these non-GAAP measures is to report financial information excluding incremental depreciation related to highly inflationary accounting in Argentina, accelerated depreciation from restructuring and acquisition-related integration activities, and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. We believe these measures are helpful in assessing capital expenditures and depreciation and amortization, enable period-to-period comparability and are useful in predicting future investing cash flows. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to capital expenditures and depreciation and amortization determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Our reinvestment ratio, which we define as the annual amount of property and equipment acquired during the period divided by the annual amount of depreciation, was 0.8 for the twelve months ending March 31, 2021 compared to 1.5 for the twelve months ending March 31, 2020.

Capital expenditures in the first three months of 2021 were primarily for machinery and equipment, information technology and armored vehicles.

Net Debt(b)	$	2,026.0	1,883.9

(a)Title to cash received and processed in certain of our secure Cash Management Services 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.

(b)Included within Net Debt is net cash from our Argentina operations of $31 million at March 31, 2021 and $25 million at December 31, 2020 (see Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of currency controls in Argentina).

Net Debt is a supplemental non-GAAP 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, as of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

Net Debt increased by $142 million primarily to fund business acquisitions and other working capital needs.

Liquidity Needs

Our liquidity needs include not only the working capital requirements of our operations but also investments in our operations, business development activities, payments on outstanding debt, dividend payments and share repurchases.

Our liquidity needs are typically financed by cash from operations, short-term debt and the available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility (our debt facilities are described in more detail in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, including certain limitations and considerations related to the cash and borrowing capacity). As of March 31, 2021, $896 million was available under the Revolving Credit Facility. Based on our current cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and amounts available under our credit facilities, we believe that we will be able to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months.

Limitations on dividends from foreign subsidiaries.   A significant portion of our operations are outside the U.S. which may make it difficult or costly to repatriate cash for use in the U.S.  See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, for more information on the risks associated with having businesses outside the U.S.

Our conclusion that we will be able to fund our cash requirements for the next 12 months by using existing capital resources, cash on hand, and cash generated from operations does not take into account any potential material worsening of economic conditions as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that would adversely affect our business. The anticipated cash needs of our business could change significantly if we pursue and complete additional business acquisitions, if our business plans change, if events, including economic disruptions, arising from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic worsen, or if other economic conditions change from those currently prevailing or from those now anticipated, or if other unexpected circumstances arise that may have a material effect on the cash flow or profitability of our business, including material negative changes in the health and welfare of our employees or changes in the condition of our customers or suppliers, and the operating performance or financial results of our business. Any of these events or circumstances, including any new business opportunities, could involve significant additional funding needs in excess of the identified currently available sources and could require us to raise additional debt or equity funding to meet those needs. Our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, is subject to a variety of factors that we cannot predict with certainty, including:

•our future profitability;

•the quality of our accounts receivable;

•our relative levels of debt and equity;

•the volatility and overall condition of the capital markets; and

•the market prices of our securities.

Equity

On February 6, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a $250 million share repurchase authorization that expires on December 31, 2021. Under the $250 million repurchase program, we are not obligated to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares.  The timing and volume of share repurchases may be executed at the discretion of management on an opportunistic basis, or pursuant to trading plans or

50

other arrangements.  Share repurchases under this program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise.

U.S. Retirement Liabilities

Assumptions for U.S. Retirement Obligations

Funding Relief

The American Rescue Plan Act ("ARPA") signed into law in March, 2021, provides funding relief for single-employer defined benefit pension plans. The ARPA provisions result in significant reduction in, and deferral of, minimum funding requirements. Because of the significant impact the ARPA provisions have on our primary U.S. pension plan's estimated future funding requirements, we have updated the assumptions used to calculate the estimated future payments from Brink's and the estimated future expenses in the tables below. Based on these revised assumptions, no cash payments to the plan are needed in the foreseeable future.

Except for the primary U.S. pension plan's estimated future payments from Brink's and estimated future expenses, all other amounts in the tables below are based on a variety of estimates, including actuarial assumptions as of the most recent measurement date. The assumptions used to estimate our U.S. retirement obligations can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.  The estimated amounts will change in the future to reflect payments made, investment returns, actuarial revaluations, and other changes in estimates.  Actual amounts could differ materially from the estimated amounts and will be updated at December 31, 2021.

Our most significant actuarial assumptions include:

•Changing discount rates and other assumptions in effect at measurement dates (normally December 31)

•Investment returns of plan assets

•Addition of new participants (historically immaterial due to freezing of pension benefits and exit from coal business)

•Mortality rates

•Change in laws

Primary U.S. Pension Plan

Pension benefits provided to eligible U.S. employees were frozen on December 31, 2005, and are not provided to employees hired after 2005 or to those covered by a collective bargaining agreement.  We did not make cash contributions to the primary U.S. pension plan in 2020 or the first three months of 2021.  There are approximately 11,000 beneficiaries in the plan.

UMWA Plans

Retirement benefits related to former coal operations include medical benefits provided by the Pittston Coal Group Companies Employee Benefit Plan for UMWA Represented Employees.  There were approximately 2,900 beneficiaries in the UMWA plans as of December 31, 2020.  The Company does not need to make additional contributions to these plans until 2029 based on actuarial assumptions.

Black Lung

Under the Federal Black Lung Benefits Act of 1972, Brink’s is responsible for paying lifetime black lung benefits to miners and their dependents for claims filed and approved after June 30, 1973.  There were approximately 700 black lung beneficiaries as of December 31, 2020.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 53 countries where we operate subsidiaries.  These operations expose us to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.  In addition, we consume various commodities in the normal course of business, exposing us to the effects of changes in the prices of such commodities. These financial and commodity exposures are monitored and managed by us as an integral part of our overall risk management program.  Our risk management program seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of certain markets may have on our operating results. We have not had any material change in our market risk exposures in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is our principal executive officer, and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), who is our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

At such adjourned or postponed meeting any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

3.    Right to Vote; Written Authorization. At any meeting of the shareholders each shareholder having the right to vote shall be entitled to vote in person, or by proxy. Appointment of a proxy may be accomplished by the shareholder or such shareholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact or authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing an appointment form authorizing another person or persons to act for the shareholder as proxy or causing such shareholder’s signature to be affixed to such appointment form by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature. Any such appointment form shall bear a date not more than eleven months prior to said meeting, unless such appointment form provides for a longer period. All appointment forms shall be effective when received by the Secretary or other officer or agent of the corporation authorized to tabulate votes.

4.    Electronic Authorization. The Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary may approve procedures to enable a shareholder or a shareholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact to authorize another person or persons to act for him or her as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram, internet transmission, telephone transmission or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which the inspectors of election can determine that the transmission was authorized by the shareholder or the shareholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact. If it is determined that such transmissions are valid, the inspectors shall specify the information upon which they relied. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this Section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

7.    Electronic Transmission of Notice. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to shareholders, any notice to shareholders given by the corporation, under any provision of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, the Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws, shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the shareholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the shareholder by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (i) the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent and (ii) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given pursuant to this Section shall be deemed given: (1) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the shareholder has consented to receive notice; (2) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the shareholder has consented to receive notice; (3) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the shareholder of such specific posting when such notice is directed to the record address of the shareholder or to such other address at which the shareholder has consented to receive notice, upon the later of such posting or the giving of such separate notice; and (4) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when consented to by the shareholder.

8.    Chairman of the Meeting. The Chairman of the Board shall preside over all meetings of the shareholders. If he or she is not present, or if there is none in office, the Chief Executive Officer shall preside. If the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer are not present, a Vice President shall preside, or, if none be present, a chairman shall be elected by the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, if he or she is present. If he or she is not present, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint a secretary of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting, at his or her discretion, may adjourn or postpone the meeting from time to time, whether or not there is a quorum, and may determine the date, time and place or means of remote communication, if authorized by the Board of Directors, that a meeting so adjourned or postponed is to reconvene. The chairman of the meeting shall prescribe rules of procedure for the meeting, including the order of business, and shall determine the time reasonably allotted to each speaker at the meeting.

9.    Inspectors. One or more inspectors for any meeting of shareholders shall be appointed by the chairman of such meeting. Inspectors so appointed, shall receive and take charge of proxies and ballots, and shall decide all questions as to the qualifications of voters, validity of proxies and ballots, and the number of votes properly cast.

10.    Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held on the first Friday in May at ten o’clock in the morning, local time, or on such other day or at such other time as the Board of Directors may determine. At each annual meeting of the shareholders, a nominee for director shall be elected to the Board of Directors if the votes cast

3

for such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election; provided, however, that directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of the shareholders for which (i) the Secretary receives a notice that a shareholder has nominated a person for election to the Board in compliance with the advance notice requirements for shareholder nominees for director set forth in Article IV, Section 12 and (ii) such nomination has not been withdrawn by such shareholder on or prior to the 10th day preceding the date the corporation first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the shareholders (a “contested election”). If directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, the shareholders shall not be permitted to vote against a nominee. The Board of Directors has established procedures set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines under which in any non-contested election of directors, any incumbent director nominee who receives a greater number of votes cast against his or her election than in favor of his or her election shall tender his or her resignation, and the Board of Directors shall decide, through a process managed by the Committee (as defined in the Corporate Governance Guidelines) whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. Any vacancy resulting from the non-election of a director under this Section 10 may be filled by the Board of Directors as provided in Article V. Any other proper business brought in accordance with these Bylaws may be transacted at the annual meeting. The chairman of the meeting shall be authorized to declare whether any business is properly brought before the meeting, and, if he or she shall declare that it is not so brought, such business shall not be transacted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the chairman of the meeting may declare that matters relating to the conduct of the ordinary business operations of the corporation are not properly brought before the meeting.

11.    Special Meeting of Shareholders.

(a)     A special meeting of the shareholders for any purpose or purposes may be called by the Chairman of the Board, by the Board of Directors or by the Chief Executive Officer. Business transacted at any special meeting of the shareholders shall be confined to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of the meeting.

(b)    In addition, a special meeting of the shareholders shall be called by the Secretary following the receipt by the Secretary of a written request for a special meeting of the shareholders (a “Special Meeting Request”) from one or more record holders representing ownership of at least 20% (the “Requisite Percentage”) of the outstanding shares of the corporation’s stock entitled to vote (the “Requisite Holders”) if such Special Meeting Request complies with the requirements set forth in this Section 11. For the purposes of this Section 11, a shareholder shall be deemed to “own” only those outstanding shares of the corporation’s stock as to which such shareholder possesses both (A) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares and (B) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares; provided that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) shall not include any shares (1) sold by or on behalf of such shareholder in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, (2) borrowed by or on behalf of such shareholder for any purpose or purchased by such shareholder pursuant to an agreement to resell or (3) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by or on behalf of such shareholder whether any such instrument

4

or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of outstanding shares of the corporation’s stock, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of (x) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such shareholder’s full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (y) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such shareholder. A shareholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during (A) any period in which the shareholder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the shareholder, or (B) has loaned such shares, provided that the person has the power to recall such loaned shares on not more than three business days’ notice. Whether outstanding shares of the corporation’s stock are “owned” for these purposes shall be determined by the Board of Directors, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the corporation and its shareholders.

(c)    If a Special Meeting Request complies with this Section 11, the Board of Directors shall determine the record date (in accordance with Article XIX herein), place (if any), date and time of the special meeting of shareholders requested in such Special Meeting Request. The date of any such special meeting shall not be more than 90 days after the Secretary’s receipt of the properly submitted Special Meeting Request; provided however, that in the event that a Special Meeting Request is received after the expiration of the advance notice period set forth in Section 12(b), but before the annual meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors may use its discretion to set the date of a special meeting no more than 10 days following the annual meeting of shareholders.

(d)    A Special Meeting Request must be delivered by hand, by registered U.S. mail (return receipt requested), or by courier service to the attention of the Secretary at the principal office of the corporation (“Proper Delivery”). A Special Meeting Request shall only be valid if it is signed and dated by each of the Requisite Holders (or their duly authorized agents) and if such request includes:(i) if a purpose of the special meeting of shareholders is the election of one or more directors, as to each person who is proposed as a nominee for election as a director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), regardless of the application of the Exchange Act to such nomination, and such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as nominee and to serving as such a director if elected;(ii) as to any other business desired to be brought at the special meeting of shareholders, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the special meeting of shareholders, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the bylaws of the corporation, the language of the proposed amendment), the reasons for conducting such business at the special meeting of shareholders and any material interest in such business of each such Requisite Holder; (iii) the name and address of each Requisite Holder, as they appear on the corporation’s books; (iv) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation that are owned of record by each such Requisite Holder; (v) a representation that one or more of the Requisite Holders intends to appear in person or by proxy at the special meeting

(viii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the chairman of the meeting shall declare a nomination by an Eligible Shareholder to be invalid, and such nomination shall be disregarded notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the corporation, if the Shareholder Nominee(s) and/or the applicable Eligible Shareholder shall have breached its or their obligations, agreements or representations under this Section 12, as determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting.

Notice of the date, time, place or purpose of a regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors may be given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the director to whom the notice is given. Any such consent of a director shall be revocable by the director by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (i) the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent and (ii) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given by electronic transmission shall be deemed given: (a) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the director has consented to receive notice; (b) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the director has consented to receive notice; (c) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the director of such specific posting when such notice is directed to an address at which the director has consented to receive notice, upon the later of such posting or the giving of such separate notice; and (d) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when consented to by the director. Any notice shall state the time and place of the meeting. Meetings may be held without notice if all of the directors are present or those not present waive notice before or after the meeting.

5.    Quorum. At each meeting of the Board of Directors the presence of a majority of the total number of directors in office immediately before the meeting begins shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and, except as otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws, if a quorum shall be present the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present shall be the act of the Board of Directors. A majority of the directors present at the meeting even if less than a quorum may adjourn or postpone the meeting to a fixed time and place, no further notice of the adjourned or postponed meeting being required.

6.    Actions Without Meetings. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if one or more written consents stating the action taken, signed by each director either before or after the action is taken, are included in the minutes or filed with the corporate records. Such written consents and the signing thereof may be accomplished by one or more electronic transmissions.

7.    Telephone Meetings. Any or all directors may participate in any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, or conduct such meeting, through the use of, any means of communication by which all directors participating may simultaneously hear each other and a director participating in a meeting by this means shall be deemed to be present in person at such meeting.

8.    Waivers. Whenever by statute, the Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws a notice is required to be given, a written waiver thereof; signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, and filed with the corporate records or the minutes of the meeting, shall be equivalent to notice. Attendance of any shareholder or director at any meeting thereof shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting by such shareholder or director, as the case may be, except as otherwise provided by statute.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation

The Brink’s Company (along with its subsidiaries, “Brink’s”, the “Company,” “we”, “us” or “our”) has four operating segments:

•North America

•Latin America

•Europe

•Rest of World

Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

In accordance with GAAP, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.  The most significant estimates are related to goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets, pension and other retirement benefit assets and obligations, legal contingencies, allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax assets and purchase price allocations. While some of our locations noted improved economics in the first quarter of 2021, our current estimates could be materially adversely affected in future periods by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which began to have an adverse impact on our results of operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as a result of reduced customer volumes, changes to our operating procedures and increases in our costs to provide services. We have taken and continue to take actions to adjust the way we operate and reduce our costs through restructuring activities and operational changes to address these impacts and align to future anticipated revenue levels.

We are continually assessing the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic, and the actions taken in response to it, will have on our employees, businesses and segments, customers and vendors and the industries that we serve. The full impact depends on many factors that are uncertain or not yet identifiable. We expect these factors will continue to impact our financial condition and our results of operations for a duration that is currently unknown. We will continue to monitor developments affecting our condensed consolidated financial statements, including indicators that goodwill or other long-lived assets may be impaired, increases in valuation allowances for doubtful accounts or deferred tax assets may be necessary or other accruals that may increase or be necessary resulting from actions taken to reduce our cost structure or conserve our liquidity.

Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include our controlled subsidiaries.  Control is determined based on ownership rights or, when applicable, based on whether we are considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.  See "Venezuela" section below for further information. For controlled subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, the noncontrolling interests are included in net income and in total equity.

Investments in businesses that we do not control, but for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method and our proportionate share of income or loss is recorded in other operating income (expense).  Investments in businesses for which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for at fair value, if readily determinable, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. For equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, we measure these investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes from observable price changes. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars.  Our foreign subsidiaries maintain their records primarily in the currency of the country in which they operate. The method of translating local currency financial information into U.S. dollars depends on whether the economy in which our foreign subsidiary operates has been designated as highly inflationary or not.  Economies with a three-year cumulative inflation rate of more than 100% are considered highly inflationary.

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries in non-highly inflationary economies are translated into U.S. dollars using rates of exchange at the balance sheet date.  Translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).  Revenues and expenses are translated at rates of exchange in effect during the year.  Transaction gains and losses are recorded in net income.

Foreign subsidiaries that operate in highly inflationary countries use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency.  Local currency monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars using rates of exchange as of each balance sheet date, with remeasurement adjustments

and other transaction gains and losses recognized in earnings.  Other than nonmonetary equity securities, nonmonetary assets and liabilities do not fluctuate with changes in local currency exchange rates to the dollar. For nonmonetary equity securities traded in highly inflationary economies, the fair market value of the equity securities are remeasured at the current exchange rates to determine gain or loss to be recorded in net income. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates of exchange in effect during the year.

Argentina

We operate in Argentina through wholly owned subsidiaries and a smaller controlled subsidiary (together "Brink's Argentina"). Revenues from Brink's Argentina represented approximately 4% of our consolidated revenues for the first three months of 2021 and 5% of our consolidated revenues for the first three months of 2020.

The operating environment in Argentina continues to present business challenges, including ongoing devaluation of the Argentine peso and significant inflation. In the first three months of 2021 and 2020, the Argentine peso declined approximately 8% (from 84.0 to 91.7 pesos to the U.S. dollar) and approximately 7% (from 59.9 to 64.5 pesos to the U.S. dollar), respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Argentine peso declined approximately 29% (from 59.9 to 84.0 pesos to the U.S. dollar).

Beginning July 1, 2018, we designated Argentina's economy as highly inflationary for accounting purposes. As a result, we consolidated Brink's Argentina using our accounting policy for subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies beginning with the third quarter of 2018. Argentine peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at each balance sheet date using the currency exchange rate then in effect, with currency remeasurement gains and losses recognized in earnings. In the first three months of 2021, we recognized a $3.0 million pretax remeasurement loss. In the first three months of 2020, we recognized a $1.6 million pretax remeasurement loss.

At March 31, 2021, Argentina's economy remains highly inflationary for accounting purposes. At March 31, 2021, we had net monetary assets denominated in Argentine pesos of $37.8 million (including cash of $30.5 million). At March 31, 2021, we had net nonmonetary assets of $146.7 million (including $99.8 million of goodwill). At March 31, 2021, we had minimal equity securities denominated in Argentine pesos.

At December 31, 2020, we had net monetary assets denominated in Argentine pesos of $31.3 million (including cash of $24.4 million) and net nonmonetary assets of $146.2 million (including $99.8 million of goodwill). At December 31, 2020, we had minimal equity securities denominated in Argentine pesos.

During September 2019, the Argentine government announced currency controls on both companies and individuals. The Argentine central bank issued details as to how the exchange control procedures would operate in practice. Under these procedures, central bank approval is required for many transactions, including dividend repatriation abroad.

We have previously elected to use other market mechanisms to convert Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars. Conversions under these other market mechanisms generally settle at rates that are less favorable than the rates at which we remeasure the financial statements of Brink’s Argentina. We did not have any such conversion losses in the three months ended March 31, 2021 or in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Although the Argentine government has implemented currency controls, Brink’s management continues to provide guidance and strategic oversight, including budgeting and forecasting for Brink’s Argentina. We continue to control our Argentina business for purposes of consolidation of our financial statements and continue to monitor the situation in Argentina.

Venezuela

Our Venezuelan operations offer transportation and route-based logistics management services for cash and valuables throughout Venezuela. Currency exchange regulations, combined with other government regulations, such as price controls and strict labor laws, significantly limit our ability to make and execute operational decisions at our Venezuelan subsidiaries. As a result of these conditions, we do not meet the accounting criteria for control over our Venezuelan operations and, as a result, we report the results of our investment in our Venezuelan subsidiaries using the cost method of accounting, the basis of which approximates zero. Prior to the imposition of the U.S. government sanctions in 2019, we provided immaterial amounts of financial support to our Venezuela operations. We continue to monitor the situation in Venezuela, including the imposition of sanctions by the U.S. government targeting Venezuela.

Internal loss

A former non-management employee in our U.S. global services operations embezzled funds from Brink's in prior years. Except for a small deductible amount, the amount of the internal loss related to the embezzlement of funds was covered by our insurance. In an effort to cover up the embezzlement, the former employee intentionally misstated the underlying accounts receivable subledger data. In the first three months of 2020, we incurred $0.2 million in costs related to activities to reconstruct the accounts receivables subledger. Based on the reconstructed subledger, we were able to analyze and quantify the uncollected receivables from prior periods. Although we plan to attempt to collect these receivables, we estimated an increase to bad debt expense of $9.4 million in the first three months of 2020. In the first three months of 2021, we recognized a decrease in bad debt expense of $1.6 million, primarily related to collection of these receivables. This estimate will continue to be adjusted in future periods, if needed, as assumptions related to the collectability of these accounts receivable change. We also recognized $0.8 million of legal charges in the first three months of 2021 as we attempt to collect additional insurance recoveries related to these receivable losses. At March 31, 2021, we have recorded an $11.0 million allowance on $11.9 million of accounts receivable, or 92%. We have defined accounts receivable impacted by the embezzlement as accounts receivable recorded as of and prior to the third quarter of

2019. Due to the unusual nature of this internal loss and the related errors in the subledger data, along with the fact that management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance, we have excluded these net charges from segment results.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recognized for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets of businesses acquired. We review goodwill for impairment annually, as of October 1, and whenever events or circumstances in interim periods indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. Given the COVID-19 pandemic, impairment indicators were reviewed as of March 31, 2021 and we concluded that there were no indicators that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We will continue to monitor results in future periods to determine whether any indicators of impairment exist that would cause us to perform an impairment review.

We perform the test of goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. Goodwill is assigned to one or more reporting units at the date of acquisition. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we implemented changes to our organization and management structure. Based on our preliminary evaluation for year-end 2020 reporting, we changed our reporting units from eight reporting units to nine reporting units. During the first quarter of 2021, we finalized our evaluation and changed from nine reporting units to four reporting units, which are equal to our operating segments:

•North America

•Latin America

•Europe

•Rest of World

We were not required to reallocate goodwill after the reporting unit change as each of the previously identified nine reporting units is completely included in one of the four new reporting units.

Restricted Cash

In France and Malaysia, we offer services to certain of our customers where we manage some or all of their cash supply chains. In connection with these offerings, we take temporary title to certain customers' cash, which is included as restricted cash in our financial statements due to customer agreement or regulation. In addition, in accordance with a revolving credit facility, we are required to maintain a restricted cash reserve of $6.1 million ($5.0 million at December 31, 2020) and, due to this contractual restriction, we have classified these amounts as restricted cash.

New Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the way entities recognize impairment of many financial assets. This new guidance requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the life of the asset and incorporates estimated, forward-looking data when measuring lifetime Expected Credit Losses (ECL). The standard was designed to provide greater transparency and understanding of credit risk by requiring enhanced financial statement disclosures which fall into three general categories: ECL estimate methodology and assumptions, quantitative information and metrics, and policy and process explanations. We adopted the standard using the modified retrospective transition method. Results for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. We recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment decreasing retained earnings by $1.7 million on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard also resulted in expanded disclosures related to credit losses (see Note 10).

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod tax allocations and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. ASU 2019-12 was effective for us on January 1, 2021. We recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment increasing retained earnings by $0.5 million on January 1, 2021

Revenue from contracts with customers

3 Months Ended

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Performance Obligations

We provide various services to meet the needs of our customers and we group these service offerings into three broad categories: Core Services, High-Value Services and Other Security Services.

Core Services

Cash-in-transit ("CIT") and ATM services are core services we provide to customers throughout the world. We charge customers per service performed or based on the value of goods transported. CIT services generally involve the secure transportation of cash, securities and other valuables between businesses, financial institutions and central banks. ATM services are generally composed of management services, including cash replenishment and forecasting, remote monitoring, transaction processing, installation and maintenance.

High-Value Services

Our high-value services leverage our brand, global infrastructure and core services and include cash management services, global services and payment services. We offer a variety of cash management services such as currency and coin counting and sorting, deposit preparation and reconciliation, and safe device installation and servicing (including our CompuSafe® service). Our global services business provides secure ground, sea and air transportation and storage of highly-valued commodities including diamonds, jewelry, precious metals and other valuables. We also provide payment services which include bill payment and processing services on behalf of utility companies and other billers plus general purpose reloadable prepaid cards and payroll cards.

Other Security Services

Our other security services feature the protection of airports, offices, warehouses, stores, and public venues in Europe, Rest of World and Latin America.

For performance obligations related to the services described above, we generally satisfy our obligations as each action to provide the service to the customer occurs. Because the customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits from our services, these performance obligations are deemed to be satisfied over time. We use an output method, units of service provided, to recognize revenue because that is the best method to represent the transfer of our services to the customer at the agreed upon rate for each action.

Although not as significant as our service offerings, we also sell goods to customers from time to time, such as safe devices. In those transactions, we satisfy our performance obligation at a point in time. We recognize revenue when the goods are delivered to the customer as that is the point in time that best represents when control has transferred to the customer.

Our contracts with customers describe the services we can provide along with the fees for each action to provide the service. We typically send invoices to customers for all of the services we have provided within a monthly period and payments are generally due within 30 to 60 days of the invoice date.

Although our customer contracts specify the fees for each action to provide service, the majority of the services stated in our contracts do not have a defined quantity over the contract term. Accordingly, the transaction price is considered variable as there is an unknown volume of services that will be rendered over the course of the contract. We recognize revenue for these services in the period in which they are provided to the customer based on the contractual rate at which we have the right to invoice the customer for each action.

Some of our contracts with customers contain clauses that define the level of service that the customer will receive. The service level agreements (“SLA”) within those contracts contain specific calculations to determine whether the appropriate level of service has been met within a specific period, which is typically a month. We estimate SLA penalties and recognize the amounts as a reduction to revenue.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Rest of World	27.7		78.4	0.5	106.6
Total reportable segments	456.6		381.8	34.4	872.8

The majority of our revenues from contracts with customers are earned by providing services and these performance obligations are satisfied over time. Smaller amounts of revenues are earned from selling goods, such as safes, to customers where the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time.

Certain of our high-value services involve the leasing of assets, such as safes, to our customers along with the regular servicing of those safe devices. Revenues related to the leasing of these assets are recognized in accordance with applicable lease guidance, but are included in the above table as the amounts are a small percentage of overall revenues.

Contract Balances

Contract Asset

Although payment terms and conditions can vary, for the majority of our customer contracts, we invoice for all of the services provided to the customer within a monthly period. For certain customer contracts, the timing of our performance may precede our right to invoice the customer for the total transaction price. For example, Brink's affiliates in certain countries, primarily in South America, negotiate annual price adjustments with certain customers and, once the price increases are finalized, the pricing changes are made retroactive to services provided in earlier periods. These retroactive pricing adjustments are estimated and recognized as revenue with a corresponding contract asset in the same period in which the related services are performed. As the estimate of the ultimate transaction price changes, we recognize a cumulative catch-up adjustment for the change in estimate. Contract assets are included in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Contract Liability

For other customer contracts, we may obtain the right to payment or receive customer payments prior to performing the related services under the contract. When the right to customer payments or receipt of payments precedes our performance, we recognize a contract liability, which is included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The opening and closing balances of receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities related to contracts with customers are as follows:

(In millions)	Receivables		Contract Asset	Contract Liability
Opening (January 1, 2021)	$	679.1	0.4	15.1
Closing (March 31, 2021)	689.3		0.5	16.9
Increase (decrease)	$	10.2	0.1	1.8

The amount of revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2021 that was included in the January 1, 2021 contract liability balance was $4.3 million. This revenue consists of services provided to customers who had prepaid for those services prior to the current year.

The amount of revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2021 from performance obligations satisfied in the prior year as a result of changes in the transaction price of our contracts with customers was not significant.

Contract Costs

Sales commissions directly related to obtaining new contracts with customers qualify for capitalization. These capitalized costs are amortized to expense ratably over the term of the contracts. At March 31, 2021, net capitalized costs to obtain contracts was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The capitalized amount at March 31, 2021 and amortization expense in the first three months of 2021 were not significant.

Practical Expedients

For the majority of our contracts with customers, we invoice a fixed amount for each unit of service we have provided. These contracts provide us with the right to invoice for an amount or rate that corresponds to the value we have delivered to our customers. The volume of services that will be provided to customers over the term is not known at inception of these contracts. Therefore, while the rate per unit of service is known, the transaction price itself is variable. For this reason, we recognize revenue from these contracts equal to the amount for which we have the contractual right to invoice the customers. Because we are not required to estimate variable consideration related to the transaction price in order to recognize revenue, we are also not required to estimate the variable consideration in order to provide certain disclosures. As a result, we have elected to use the optional exemption related to the disclosure of transaction prices, amounts allocated to remaining performance obligations and the future periods in which revenue will be recognized, sometimes referred to as backlog.

We have also elected to use the practical expedient for financing components related to our contract liabilities. We do not recognize interest expense on contracts for which the period between our receipt of customer payments and our service to the customer is one year or less.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment information

Segment information

We identify our operating segments based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) allocates resources, assesses performance and makes decisions.  Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer.  Our CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources to each operating segment based on a profit or loss measure which, at the reportable segment level, excludes the following:

•Corporate expenses - include corporate headquarters costs, regional management costs, currency transaction gains and losses, adjustments to reconcile segment accounting policies to U.S. GAAP, and costs related to global initiatives.

•Other items not allocated to segments - certain significant items such as reorganization and restructuring actions that are evaluated on an individual basis by management and are not considered part of the ongoing activities of the business are excluded from segment results. We also exclude certain costs, gains and losses related to acquisitions and dispositions of assets and of businesses. Brink's Argentina is consolidated using our accounting policy for subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies. We have excluded from our segment results the impact of highly inflationary accounting in Argentina, including currency remeasurement losses. Incremental costs (primarily third party expenses) incurred related to the implementation and adoption of ASU 2016-02, the new lease accounting standard which was effective for us January 1, 2019, are excluded from segment results. We have also excluded from our segment results net charges related to an internal loss in our U.S. global services operations. The net impact of the internal loss includes costs incurred to reconstruct an accounts receivable subledger as well as estimated bad debt expense for uncollectible receivables, partially offset by revenue billed and collected, but not previously recorded as a result of the former non-management employee's embezzlement activities.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, we implemented changes to our organizational and management structure that resulted in changes to our operating segments. Previously, our business was managed and reported in three operating segments: North America, South America and Rest of World. We now manage our business in four segments, and segment results are reported by these four segments. The four segments are as follows:

•North America – operations in the U.S. and Canada, including the Brink’s Global Services ("BGS") line of business,

•Latin America – operations in Latin American countries where we have an ownership interest, including the BGS line of business. This segment includes operations in Mexico, which was previously reported in the North America segment,

•Europe – operations in European countries which primarily provide services outside of the BGS line of business. This segment includes the BGS line of business within these country operations, and

•Rest of World – operations in European countries which primarily provide BGS services. This segment includes other lines of business within these country operations. This segment also includes operations in the Middle East, Africa and Asia as well as BGS activity in Latin American countries where we do not have an ownership interest.

Previously disclosed information for all periods presented has been revised to reflect our current segment structure.

Prior to 2021, all business units within the operating segments followed an internal Brink's accounting policy for determining an allowance for doubtful accounts and recognizing bad debt expense. The allowance amounts reported by the operating segments were then reconciled to the required U.S. GAAP estimated consolidated allowance amount, and any differences were reported as part of Corporate expenses. During the first quarter of 2021, we changed the allowance calculation method of the U.S. business within the North America operating segment, in order to more closely align it with U.S. GAAP requirements. Differences between U.S. GAAP and existing internal policy were not significant for all other business units within the operating segments, and so no other changes were made, and reconciling amounts for those units will continue to be reported as part of Corporate expense. For the North America segment, the impact of this change in reporting was to reduce the segment allowance and to increase segment operating profit by $12.3 million in the first quarter of 2021. There was no net impact to consolidated results, as a corresponding offsetting adjustment occurred on Corporate expenses.

The following table summarizes our revenues and segment profit for each of our reportable segments and reconciles these amounts to consolidated revenues and operating profit:

The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first three months of 2021 was greater than the 21% U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the geographical mix of earnings, the seasonality of book losses for which no tax benefit can be recorded, nondeductible expenses in Mexico, taxes on cross border payments and U.S. taxable income limitations, and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax.

2020 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate

The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first three months of 2020 was greater than the 21% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the geographical mix of earnings, the seasonality of book losses for which no tax benefit can be recorded, nondeductible expenses in Mexico, taxes on cross border payments and U.S. taxable income limitations, and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax, partially offset by the tax benefits related to the distribution of share-based payments.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisitions

We account for 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations include the results of operations for each acquired entity from the date of acquisition.

G4S plc ("G4S") Acquisitions

On February 26, 2020, we announced that we agreed to acquire the majority of the cash management operations of U.K.-based G4S, with closings planned in multiple phases in 2020. In March 2020, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of G4S International Logistics Group Limited ("G4Si"), a company which directly or indirectly owns controlling interests in multiple businesses providing secure international transportation of valuables. In the second quarter of 2020, we acquired cash management operations from G4S located in the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Romania, the Czech Republic, Malaysia, the Dominican Republic and the Philippines. In the third quarter of 2020, we acquired operations in Indonesia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. In the first quarter of 2021, we acquired operations in Macau, Luxembourg and Kuwait, which completed the remaining planned G4S transactions. For the majority of the acquisitions in 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, we acquired 100% of the ownership interests. In Malaysia, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines, Indonesia and Kuwait, we acquired ownership interests of less than 100%. We believe that we meet the accounting criteria for consolidating these subsidiaries. In the aggregate, the purchase consideration for the G4S acquisitions in 2020 and the first three months of 2021 is $836.9 million. We have also paid G4S approximately $114 million for net intercompany receivables from the acquired subsidiaries. The G4S businesses acquired generated approximately $800 million in annual revenues in 2019.

The contingent consideration noted in the following table below is related to the acquisition of the Malaysia operations. The consideration will be paid when minimum dividend distributions are received by Brink's relating to cash on the balance sheets of the Malaysia subsidiaries as of the acquisition date. 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 full $22 million that remains potentially payable as of March 31, 2021 as we believe it is unlikely that the contingent consideration payments will be reduced.

We finalized our purchase price accounting in the first quarter of 2021 for the businesses we acquired in March 2020. For the remaining businesses acquired from G4S, 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 in areas such as property and equipment, intangible assets, lease-related assets and liabilities, deferred taxes and goodwill. As a result, the allocation of the provisional purchase price may change in the future.

(In millions)	Estimated Fair Value at Acquisition Date

(a)Intangible assets are composed of customer relationships ($206 million fair value and 15 year amortization period).

(b)Consists of intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, combined with synergies expected from integrating G4S operations with our existing operations. Goodwill has been provisionally assigned to the Europe reporting unit ($191 million), the Rest of World reporting unit ($340 million) and the South America reporting unit ($3 million). We do not currently expect goodwill in these reporting units to be deductible for tax purposes.

We have outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies.  At March 31, 2021, the notional value of our short term outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $436 million, with average maturities of approximately one month.  These foreign currency forward and swap contracts primarily offset exposures in the euro and the British pound and are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded immediately in earnings. At March 31, 2021, the fair value of our short term foreign currency contracts was a net asset of approximately $8.0 million, of which $8.2 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $0.2 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2020, the fair value of these foreign currency contracts was a net asset of approximately $2.4 million, of which $3.5 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $1.1 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Amounts under these contracts were recognized in other operating income (expense) and in interest and other nonoperating income and expense as follows:

In the first quarter of 2019, we entered into ten interest rate swaps that hedge cash flow risk associated with changes in variable interest rates and that are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. At March 31, 2021, the notional value of these contracts was $400 million with a remaining weighted-average maturity of 1.5 years. At March 31, 2021, the fair value of these interest rate swaps was a net liability of $24.4 million, of which $9.7 million was included in accrued liabilities and $14.7 million was included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2020, the fair value of these interest rate swaps was a net liability of $29.0 million, of which $9.7 million was included in accrued liabilities and $19.3 million was included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The effect of these swaps is included in interest expense.

Long-Term Debt

Senior Secured Credit Facility

In April 2020, we amended our senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent to increase the term loan borrowing by $590 million. After the amendment, the Senior Secured Credit Facility consisted of a $1 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and $1.39 billion of term loans (the "Term Loans"). The proceeds of the incremental term loan borrowings were used to repay outstanding principal under the Revolving Credit Facility as well as certain fees, costs and expenses related to the closing of the G4S acquisition.

In June 2020, we amended our Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, change the methodology for calculating the Company’s leverage ratio by using a net first lien leverage ratio (net secured debt leverage ratio) instead of a total net debt leverage ratio.

All Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loans will mature five years after the first amendment date to the Senior Secured Credit Facility on February 8, 2024. Principal payments for the Term Loans are due quarterly in an amount equal to 1.25% of the initial loan amount with a final lump sum payment due on February 8, 2024. Interest rates for the Senior Secured Credit Facility are based on LIBOR plus a margin or an alternate base rate plus a margin. The Revolving Credit Facility allows us to borrow money or issue letters of credit (or otherwise satisfy credit needs) on a revolving basis over the term of the facility. As of March 31, 2021, $896 million was available under the Revolving Credit Facility. The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, including a first-priority lien on equity interests of certain of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries also guarantee the obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The margin on both LIBOR and alternate base rate borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is based on the Company’s total net debt leverage ratio. The margin on LIBOR borrowings, which can range from 1.25% to 2.50%, was 2% at March 31, 2021. The margin on alternate base rate borrowings, which can range from 0.25% to 1.50%, was 1% as of March 31, 2021. We also pay an annual commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The commitment fee, which can range from 0.15% to 0.35%, was 0.3% as of March 31, 2021.

Senior Unsecured Notes

In June 2020, we issued at par five-year senior unsecured notes (the "2020 Senior Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $400 million. The 2020 Senior Notes will mature on July 15, 2025 and bear an annual interest rate of 5.5%. The 2020 Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future U.S. subsidiaries, which are also guarantors under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

In October 2017, we issued at par ten-year senior unsecured notes (the "2017 Senior Notes" and together with the 2020 Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $600 million. The 2017 Senior Notes will mature on October 15, 2027 and bear an

annual interest rate of 4.625%. The 2017 Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future U.S. subsidiaries, which are also guarantors under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The Senior Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The notes were offered in the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exception from registration set forth in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The aggregate proceeds from the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the 2017 Senior Notes were used in part to repay certain prior indebtedness and certain fees and expenses related to the closing of the transactions. Borrowings were used for working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. The aggregate proceeds from the 2020 Senior Notes were used in part to repay certain existing indebtedness incurred in connection with the G4S acquisition, finance the remaining G4S acquisition transactions and pay certain fees and expenses related to the transactions. Remaining net proceeds from the 2020 Senior Notes were used for working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.

Letter of Credit Facilities and Bank Guarantee Facilities

We have four committed letter of credit facilities totaling $68 million, of which approximately$18 million was available at March 31, 2021. At March 31, 2021, we had undrawn letters of credit and guarantees of $50 million issued under these facilities. We have two $10 million facilities. The first $10 million facility expires in April 2022 while the second $10 million facility has no expiration date, the $32 million facility expires in December 2022 and the $16 million facility expires in January 2024.

We have two uncommitted letter of credit facilities totaling $55 million, of which approximately $32 million was available at March 31, 2021. At March 31, 2021, we had undrawn letters of credit and guarantees of $23 million issued under these facilities. A $40 million facility expires in December 2021 and a $15 million facility has no expiration date.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility is also available for issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Unsecured Notes, the Letter of Credit Facilities and Bank Guarantee Facilities contain various financial and other covenants. The financial covenants, among other things, limit our ability to provide liens, restrict fundamental changes, limit transactions with affiliates and unrestricted subsidiaries, restrict changes to our fiscal year and to organizational documents, limit asset dispositions, limit the use of proceeds from asset sales, limit sale and leaseback transactions, limit investments, limit the ability to incur debt, restrict certain payments to shareholders, limit negative pledges, limit the ability to change the nature of our business, provide for a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio and provide for minimum coverage of interest costs. If we were not to comply with the terms of our various financing agreements, the repayment terms could be accelerated and the commitments could be withdrawn. An acceleration of the repayment terms under one agreement could trigger the acceleration of the repayment terms under the other financing agreements. We were in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2021.

Allowance for Credit Loss [Abstract]

Credit losses

Credit losses

We are exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of our Core and High-Value services to customers with operations in the U.S. as well as customers in more than 100 countries outside the U.S. We typically invoice our customers on a monthly basis and payment terms are generally between 30 and 60 days.

We assess currently expected credit losses in our financial assets on a pool basis by aggregating financial assets with similar risk characteristics. We have pooled the financial assets by geographical location, specifically by country, because of the similarities within each country such as customers, payment terms, and services offered. Loss experience is monitored for each pool and we determine historical loss rates for each pool. These historical loss rates are the main assumption used in estimating expected credit losses over the life of the financial assets.

We monitor the aging of accounts receivables by country and write off any accounts that are deemed uncollectible. We also monitor any significant economic events to identify any current or expected trends and risks within a pool that could impact the collectability of outstanding accounts receivables balances that were not contemplated or relevant during a previous period.

The following table is a rollforward of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the three month period ended March 31, 2021.

Allowance for doubtful accounts:

(In millions)
December 31, 2020	$	30.7
Provision for uncollectible accounts receivable(a)	7.0
Write-offs and recoveries	(2.1)
Foreign currency exchange effects	(0.6)
March 31, 2021	$	35.0

(a)The provision in 2021 includes a $1.6 million reduction in allowance related to the internal loss in our U.S global services operations. See Note 1 for details.

Share-based compensation plans

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Share-based compensation plans

Share-based compensation plans

We have share-based compensation plans to attract and retain employees and nonemployee directors and to more closely align their interests with those of our shareholders.

We have outstanding share-based awards granted to employees under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan ("2013 Plan") and the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan).  These plans permit grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units, stock appreciation rights, stock options, as well as other share-based awards to eligible employees.  The 2013 Plan and the 2017 Plan also permit cash awards to eligible employees.  The 2017 Plan became effective May 2017.  No further grants of awards will be made under the the 2013 Plan, although awards under this prior plan remain outstanding.

We also have outstanding deferred stock units granted to directors under the 2017 Plan. Share-based awards were previously granted to directors and remain outstanding under the Non-Employee Director's Equity Plan and the Directors’ Stock Accumulation Plan, which has expired.

Outstanding awards at March 31, 2021 include performance share units, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance-based stock options, time-based stock options and certain awards that will be settled in cash.

Compensation Expense

Compensation expense is measured using the fair-value-based method.  Prior to 2020, for employee and director awards considered equity grants, compensation expense is recognized from the award or grant date to the earlier of the retirement-eligible date or the vesting date. In 2020, the retirement eligibility provisions for many employee awards were changed on a go-forward basis to require a six month notification period prior to actual retirement.  For the 2020 awards, we recognize expense from the grant date to six months after the participant's retirement eligible date. In 2021, the retirement eligibility provisions were changed on a go-forward basis to require minimum of a one year service period in order to meet the retirement eligible conditions. For the 2021 awards, we recognize expense from the grant date to the earlier of the retirement-eligible date (provided it is not less than one year from the grant date) or the vesting date.

Compensation expenses are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Compensation expenses for the share-based awards were as follows:

	Compensation Expense
	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2021		2020
Performance share units	$	5.1	4.6
Restricted stock units	1.7		1.3

Cash based awards	0.8		—
Share-based payment expense	8.4		7.2
Income tax benefit	(1.9)		(1.6)
Share-based payment expense, net of tax	$	6.5	5.6

Performance-Based Stock Options

In 2018, 2017 and 2016, we granted performance-based stock options that have a service condition as well as a market condition. In addition, some of the awards granted in 2016 contained a non-financial performance condition. We measure the fair value of these performance-based options at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

The following table summarizes performance-based stock option activity during the first three months of 2021:

	Shares (in thousands)	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Outstanding balance as of December 31, 2020	1,165.0	$	11.17

Outstanding balance as of March 31, 2021	946.5	$	10.25

(a)Although the service condition had been met, these 2018 performance options expired in accordance with the terms of the underlying award agreement.

Time-Based Stock Options

We granted time-based stock options that contain only a service condition. We measure the fair value of these time-based options at the grant date using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model.

The following table summarizes time-based stock option activity during the first three months of 2021:

Outstanding balance as of March 31, 2021	207.8	$	21.38

Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)

We granted RSUs that contain only a service condition. We measure the fair value of RSUs based on the price of Brink’s stock at the grant date, adjusted for a discount for dividends not received or accrued during the vesting period.

The following table summarizes RSU activity during the first three months of 2021: 

	Shares (in thousands)	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2020	251.8	$	72.30

Forfeited	(2.4)	78.33
Vested	(65.3)	77.82
Nonvested balance as of March 31, 2021	269.7	$	73.05

Performance Share Units ("PSUs”)

We granted Internal Metric PSUs ("IM PSUs") and Total Shareholder Return PSUs ("TSR PSUs").

IM PSUs contain a performance condition as well as a service condition. We measure the fair value of these PSUs based on the price of Brink’s stock at the grant date, adjusted for a discount for dividends not received or accrued during the vesting period. For the IM PSUs granted in 2021, the performance period is from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022.

TSR PSUs contain a market condition as well as a service condition. We measure the fair value of PSUs containing a market condition at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model.  For the TSR PSUs granted in 2021, the performance period is from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023.

The following table summarizes all PSU activity during the first three months of 2021:

	Shares (in thousands)	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2020	576.7	$	80.43
Granted	266.9	81.04
Forfeited	(7.1)	78.05
Vested(a)	(149.5)	74.03
Nonvested balance as of March 31, 2021	687.0	$	82.09

(a)The vested PSUs presented are based on the target amount of the award. In accordance with the terms of the underlying award agreements, the actual shares earned and distributed for the performance period ended December 31, 2020 were 246.9 thousand, compared to target shares of 149.5 thousand.

Deferred Stock Units ("DSUs")

We granted DSUs to our nonemployee directors in 2019 and in prior years. We measure the fair value of DSUs at the grant date, based on the price of Brink's stock, and, if applicable, adjusted for a discount for dividends not received or accrued during the vesting period.

DSUs granted after 2014 will be paid out in shares of Brink's stock on the first anniversary of the grant date, provided that the director has not elected to defer the distribution of shares until a later date. DSUs granted prior to 2015, in general, will be paid out in shares of stock following separation from service.

The following table summarizes all DSU activity during the first three months of 2021:

Argentina Currency Conversions

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. Conversions under these other market mechanisms generally settle at rates that are less favorable than the rates at which we remeasure the financial statements of Brink’s Argentina. The net cash flows from these transactions are treated as operating cash flows as the financial instruments are purchased specifically for resale and are generally sold within a short period of time from the date of purchase. We did not have any such conversions in the first three months of 2021 and 2020.

Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities

We acquired $7.8 million in armored vehicles and other equipment under financing lease arrangements in the first three months of 2021 compared to $13.2 million in armored vehicles and other equipment acquired under financing lease arrangements in the first three months of 2020.

Restricted Cash (Cash Supply Chain Services)

In France, we offer services to certain of our customers where we manage some or all of their cash supply chains. Providing this service requires our French subsidiary to take temporary title to the cash received from the management of our customers' cash supply chains until the cash is returned to the customers. The cash for which we have temporary title is restricted and cannot be used for any other purpose other than to service our customers who participate in this service offering. Prior to the third quarter of 2020, as part of this service offering, we entered into lending arrangements with some of our customers. Cash borrowed under these lending arrangements was used in the process of managing these customers' cash supply chains, was restricted and could not be used for any other purpose other than to service these customers.

In Malaysia, we offer ATM replenishment services to certain of our financial institution customers. Providing this service requires our Malaysia subsidiary to take temporary title to the cash received in advance of ATM replenishment. The cash for which we have temporary title is restricted and cannot be used for any other purpose other than to service our customers who participate in this service offering.

In accordance with a revolving credit facility, we are required to maintain a restricted cash reserve of $6.1 million ($5.0 million at December 31, 2020) and, due to this contractual restriction, we have classified these amounts as restricted cash.

At March 31, 2021, we held $274.2 million of restricted cash ($134.6 million represented restricted cash held for customers and $132.2 million represented accrued liabilities). At December 31, 2020, we held $322.0 million of restricted cash ($199.5 million represented restricted cash held for customers and $113.7 million represented accrued liabilities).

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Contingent matters

Contingent matters

In August 2020, the Company received a subpoena issued in connection with an investigation being conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”). The Company is fully cooperating with the investigation and responding to requests from the DOJ for documents and other information, primarily related to cross-border shipments of cash and things of value and anti-money laundering compliance. Given that the investigation is still ongoing and that no civil or criminal claims have been brought to date, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigation, the timing of the ultimate resolution of the matter, or reasonably estimate the possible range of loss, if any, that may result from this matter. Accordingly, no accruals have been made with respect to this matter.

During the fourth quarter of 2018, we became aware of an investigation initiated by the Chilean Fiscalía Nacional Económica (the Chilean antitrust agency) related to potential anti-competitive practices among competitors in the cash logistics industry in Chile.  Because no legal proceedings have been initiated against Brink’s Chile, we cannot estimate the probability of loss or any range of possible loss at this time.  It is possible, however, that Brink’s Chile could become the subject of legal or administrative claims or proceedings that could result in a loss in a future period.

In addition, we are involved in various other lawsuits and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not able to estimate the loss or range of losses for some of these matters. We have recorded accruals for losses that are considered probable and reasonably estimable. Except as otherwise noted, we do not believe that it is reasonably possible the ultimate disposition of any of the lawsuits currently pending against the Company could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

Acquisition of ATM Services Provider

On April 1, 2021, we acquired PAI, Inc. ("PAI") for approximately $213 million. PAI is the largest privately-held provider of ATM services in the U.S. and is expected to generate approximately $320 million in annual revenues.

Cross Currency Swaps

On April 26, 2021, we entered into a series of cross currency swaps with a combined notional amount of $400 million, to hedge a portion of our net investments in certain subsidiaries with euro as their functional currency. Under these ten-year agreements, we will pay interest of EUR 0.00% and receive interest of USD 1.51%. These interest amounts will be recognized in earnings over the duration of the swaps. The spot-to-spot changes in the fair values of these swaps will be recognized in foreign currency translation, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), to offset the changes in the values of the net investments being hedged.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Use of Estimates

have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.  The most significant estimates are related to goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets, pension and other retirement benefit assets and obligations, legal contingencies, allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax assets and purchase price allocations.

Consolidation

Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include our controlled subsidiaries.  Control is determined based on ownership rights or, when applicable, based on whether we are considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.  See "Venezuela" section below for further information. For controlled subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, the noncontrolling interests are included in net income and in total equity.

Investments in businesses that we do not control, but for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method and our proportionate share of income or loss is recorded in other operating income (expense).  Investments in businesses for which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for at fair value, if readily determinable, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. For equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, we measure these investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes from observable price changes. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars.  Our foreign subsidiaries maintain their records primarily in the currency of the country in which they operate. The method of translating local currency financial information into U.S. dollars depends on whether the economy in which our foreign subsidiary operates has been designated as highly inflationary or not.  Economies with a three-year cumulative inflation rate of more than 100% are considered highly inflationary.

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries in non-highly inflationary economies are translated into U.S. dollars using rates of exchange at the balance sheet date.  Translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).  Revenues and expenses are translated at rates of exchange in effect during the year.  Transaction gains and losses are recorded in net income.

Foreign subsidiaries that operate in highly inflationary countries use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency.  Local currency monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars using rates of exchange as of each balance sheet date, with remeasurement adjustments

and other transaction gains and losses recognized in earnings.  Other than nonmonetary equity securities, nonmonetary assets and liabilities do not fluctuate with changes in local currency exchange rates to the dollar. For nonmonetary equity securities traded in highly inflationary economies, the fair market value of the equity securities are remeasured at the current exchange rates to determine gain or loss to be recorded in net income. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates of exchange in effect during the year.

Argentina

We operate in Argentina through wholly owned subsidiaries and a smaller controlled subsidiary (together "Brink's Argentina"). Revenues from Brink's Argentina represented approximately 4% of our consolidated revenues for the first three months of 2021 and 5% of our consolidated revenues for the first three months of 2020.

The operating environment in Argentina continues to present business challenges, including ongoing devaluation of the Argentine peso and significant inflation. In the first three months of 2021 and 2020, the Argentine peso declined approximately 8% (from 84.0 to 91.7 pesos to the U.S. dollar) and approximately 7% (from 59.9 to 64.5 pesos to the U.S. dollar), respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Argentine peso declined approximately 29% (from 59.9 to 84.0 pesos to the U.S. dollar).

Beginning July 1, 2018, we designated Argentina's economy as highly inflationary for accounting purposes. As a result, we consolidated Brink's Argentina using our accounting policy for subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies beginning with the third quarter of 2018. Argentine peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at each balance sheet date using the currency exchange rate then in effect, with currency remeasurement gains and losses recognized in earnings. In the first three months of 2021, we recognized a $3.0 million pretax remeasurement loss. In the first three months of 2020, we recognized a $1.6 million pretax remeasurement loss.

At March 31, 2021, Argentina's economy remains highly inflationary for accounting purposes. At March 31, 2021, we had net monetary assets denominated in Argentine pesos of $37.8 million (including cash of $30.5 million). At March 31, 2021, we had net nonmonetary assets of $146.7 million (including $99.8 million of goodwill). At March 31, 2021, we had minimal equity securities denominated in Argentine pesos.

At December 31, 2020, we had net monetary assets denominated in Argentine pesos of $31.3 million (including cash of $24.4 million) and net nonmonetary assets of $146.2 million (including $99.8 million of goodwill). At December 31, 2020, we had minimal equity securities denominated in Argentine pesos.

During September 2019, the Argentine government announced currency controls on both companies and individuals. The Argentine central bank issued details as to how the exchange control procedures would operate in practice. Under these procedures, central bank approval is required for many transactions, including dividend repatriation abroad.

We have previously elected to use other market mechanisms to convert Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars. Conversions under these other market mechanisms generally settle at rates that are less favorable than the rates at which we remeasure the financial statements of Brink’s Argentina. We did not have any such conversion losses in the three months ended March 31, 2021 or in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Although the Argentine government has implemented currency controls, Brink’s management continues to provide guidance and strategic oversight, including budgeting and forecasting for Brink’s Argentina. We continue to control our Argentina business for purposes of consolidation of our financial statements and continue to monitor the situation in Argentina.

Venezuela

Our Venezuelan operations offer transportation and route-based logistics management services for cash and valuables throughout Venezuela. Currency exchange regulations, combined with other government regulations, such as price controls and strict labor laws, significantly limit our ability to make and execute operational decisions at our Venezuelan subsidiaries. As a result of these conditions, we do not meet the accounting criteria for control over our Venezuelan operations and, as a result, we report the results of our investment in our Venezuelan subsidiaries using the cost method of accounting, the basis of which approximates zero. Prior to the imposition of the U.S. government sanctions in 2019, we provided immaterial amounts of financial support to our Venezuela operations. We continue to monitor the situation in Venezuela, including the imposition of sanctions by the U.S. government targeting Venezuela.

Goodwill

Goodwill

Goodwill is recognized for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets of businesses acquired. We review goodwill for impairment annually, as of October 1, and whenever events or circumstances in interim periods indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. Given the COVID-19 pandemic, impairment indicators were reviewed as of March 31, 2021 and we concluded that there were no indicators that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We will continue to monitor results in future periods to determine whether any indicators of impairment exist that would cause us to perform an impairment review.

We perform the test of goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. Goodwill is assigned to one or more reporting units at the date of acquisition. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we implemented changes to our organization and management structure. Based on our preliminary evaluation for year-end 2020 reporting, we changed our reporting units from eight reporting units to nine reporting units. During the first quarter of 2021, we finalized our evaluation and changed from nine reporting units to four reporting units, which are equal to our operating segments:

•North America

•Latin America

•Europe

•Rest of World

We were not required to reallocate goodwill after the reporting unit change as each of the previously identified nine reporting units is completely included in one of the four new reporting units.

Restricted Cash

Restricted CashIn France and Malaysia, we offer services to certain of our customers where we manage some or all of their cash supply chains. In connection with these offerings, we take temporary title to certain customers' cash, which is included as restricted cash in our financial statements due to customer agreement or regulation.

New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the way entities recognize impairment of many financial assets. This new guidance requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the life of the asset and incorporates estimated, forward-looking data when measuring lifetime Expected Credit Losses (ECL). The standard was designed to provide greater transparency and understanding of credit risk by requiring enhanced financial statement disclosures which fall into three general categories: ECL estimate methodology and assumptions, quantitative information and metrics, and policy and process explanations. We adopted the standard using the modified retrospective transition method. Results for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. We recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment decreasing retained earnings by $1.7 million on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard also resulted in expanded disclosures related to credit losses (see Note 10).

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod tax allocations and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. ASU 2019-12 was effective for us on January 1, 2021. We recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment increasing retained earnings by $0.5 million on January 1, 2021

Because the customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits from our services, these performance obligations are deemed to be satisfied over time. We use an output method, units of service provided, to recognize revenue because that is the best method to represent the transfer of our services to the customer at the agreed upon rate for each action.

Although not as significant as our service offerings, we also sell goods to customers from time to time, such as safe devices. In those transactions, we satisfy our performance obligation at a point in time. We recognize revenue when the goods are delivered to the customer as that is the point in time that best represents when control has transferred to the customer.

Our contracts with customers describe the services we can provide along with the fees for each action to provide the service. We typically send invoices to customers for all of the services we have provided within a monthly period and payments are generally due within 30 to 60 days of the invoice date.

Although our customer contracts specify the fees for each action to provide service, the majority of the services stated in our contracts do not have a defined quantity over the contract term. Accordingly, the transaction price is considered variable as there is an unknown volume of services that will be rendered over the course of the contract. We recognize revenue for these services in the period in which they are provided to the customer based on the contractual rate at which we have the right to invoice the customer for each action.

Some of our contracts with customers contain clauses that define the level of service that the customer will receive. The service level agreements (“SLA”) within those contracts contain specific calculations to determine whether the appropriate level of service has been met within a specific period, which is typically a month. We estimate SLA penalties and recognize the amounts as a reduction to revenue.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The majority of our revenues from contracts with customers are earned by providing services and these performance obligations are satisfied over time. Smaller amounts of revenues are earned from selling goods, such as safes, to customers where the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time.

Certain of our high-value services involve the leasing of assets, such as safes, to our customers along with the regular servicing of those safe devices. Revenues related to the leasing of these assets are recognized in accordance with applicable lease guidance, but are included in the above table as the amounts are a small percentage of overall revenues.

Contract Balances

Contract Asset

Although payment terms and conditions can vary, for the majority of our customer contracts, we invoice for all of the services provided to the customer within a monthly period. For certain customer contracts, the timing of our performance may precede our right to invoice the customer for the total transaction price. For example, Brink's affiliates in certain countries, primarily in South America, negotiate annual price adjustments with certain customers and, once the price increases are finalized, the pricing changes are made retroactive to services provided in earlier periods. These retroactive pricing adjustments are estimated and recognized as revenue with a corresponding contract asset in the same period in which the related services are performed. As the estimate of the ultimate transaction price changes, we recognize a cumulative catch-up adjustment for the change in estimate. Contract assets are included in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Contract Liability

For other customer contracts, we may obtain the right to payment or receive customer payments prior to performing the related services under the contract. When the right to customer payments or receipt of payments precedes our performance, we recognize a contract liability, which is included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The amount of revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2021 that was included in the January 1, 2021 contract liability balance was $4.3 million. This revenue consists of services provided to customers who had prepaid for those services prior to the current year.

The amount of revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2021 from performance obligations satisfied in the prior year as a result of changes in the transaction price of our contracts with customers was not significant.

Contract Costs

Sales commissions directly related to obtaining new contracts with customers qualify for capitalization. These capitalized costs are amortized to expense ratably over the term of the contracts. At March 31, 2021, net capitalized costs to obtain contracts was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The capitalized amount at March 31, 2021 and amortization expense in the first three months of 2021 were not significant.

Practical Expedients

For the majority of our contracts with customers, we invoice a fixed amount for each unit of service we have provided. These contracts provide us with the right to invoice for an amount or rate that corresponds to the value we have delivered to our customers. The volume of services that will be provided to customers over the term is not known at inception of these contracts. Therefore, while the rate per unit of service is known, the transaction price itself is variable. For this reason, we recognize revenue from these contracts equal to the amount for which we have the contractual right to invoice the customers. Because we are not required to estimate variable consideration related to the transaction price in order to recognize revenue, we are also not required to estimate the variable consideration in order to provide certain disclosures. As a result, we have elected to use the optional exemption related to the disclosure of transaction prices, amounts allocated to remaining performance obligations and the future periods in which revenue will be recognized, sometimes referred to as backlog.

We have also elected to use the practical expedient for financing components related to our contract liabilities. We do not recognize interest expense on contracts for which the period between our receipt of customer payments and our service to the customer is one year or less.

(a)We have deferred compensation plans for directors and certain of our employees.  Some amounts owed to participants are denominated in common stock units.  Each unit represents one share of common stock.  The number of shares used to calculate basic earnings per share includes the weighted-average common stock units credited to employees and directors under the deferred compensation plans.  Additionally, nonvested units containing only a service requirement are also included in the computation of basic weighted-average shares when the requisite service period has been completed. Accordingly, included in basic shares are 0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, and 0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020.
