Business Combinations [Abstract]  
Acquisitions and Dispositions Acquisitions and Dispositions
In 2022, we acquired United Kingdom-based business operations that manage ATMs and we acquired net assets from an ATM and cash management solutions company in the U.S., which we have accounted for as a business combination. See details of the 2022 acquisitions below. In 2021, we completed the acquisition of operations from G4S plc (“G4S”) and acquired PAI Midco, Inc. In 2020, we acquired multiple business operations from G4S at different times during the year. We accounted for these acquisitions as business combinations using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed from these operations are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. The consolidated statements of operations include the results of operations for each acquired entity from the date of acquisition.

NoteMachine Limited Acquisition
On October 3, 2022, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of NoteMachine Limited and Testlink Services Limited. At the acquisition date, these two entities directly owned 100% of the ownership interests in three additional entities (collectively, the five entities are referred to as "NoteMachine"). We acquired the NoteMachine businesses for approximately $194 million. NoteMachine is based in the United Kingdom and manages a portfolio of ATMs. NoteMachine generated approximately $150 million in revenues in the twelve month period prior to the acquisition.

We 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 intangible assets, property and equipment, deferred tax assets and liabilities and goodwill. As a result, the allocation of the provisional purchase price may change in the future.

(b)Consists of intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, combined with synergies expected from integrating NoteMachine's operations with our existing Brink's operations. Goodwill of $61 million has been assigned to the Europe reporting unit and goodwill of $2 million has been assigned to the North America reporting unit. We do not expect goodwill in these reporting units to be deductible for tax purposes.

Touchpoint 21 Acquisition
In January 2022, we acquired net assets from Touchpoint 21 LLC, an ATM and cash management solutions company operating in Texas and Oklahoma. We have determined that this acquisition represents a business combination and we have recorded acquired assets and liabilities at estimated fair value. The purchase consideration is approximately $15 million.
PAI, Midco Inc. Acquisition
On April 1, 2021, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of PAI Midco, Inc., which directly or indirectly owns 100% of the ownership interests in four additional entities (collectively, "PAI"), for approximately $216 million. PAI was the largest privately-held provider of ATM services in the U.S. and generated approximately $94 million in revenues in 2020.

We estimated fair values for the assets purchased, liabilities assumed and purchase consideration as of the date of the acquisition. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We finalized our purchase price accounting for PAI in the first quarter of 2022. There were no material changes in 2022 to the amounts previously
disclosed.

(b)Consists of intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, combined with synergies expected from integrating PAI's operations with our existing Brink's U.S. operations. All goodwill has been assigned to the North America reporting unit. We expect less than $2 million of goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.
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, 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 is $826 million. We also paid G4S approximately $114 million for net intercompany receivables from the acquired subsidiaries. The indemnification assets are primarily related to pre-acquisition income tax contingencies for which the seller has indemnified Brink's against loss. The G4S businesses acquired generated approximately $800 million in 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 December 31, 2022 as we believe it is unlikely that the contingent consideration payments will be reduced.

We estimated fair values for the assets purchased, liabilities assumed and purchase consideration as of the date of the acquisition. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We finalized our purchase price accounting in 2021 for the businesses we acquired in 2020. For the remaining businesses acquired from G4S in 2021, we finalized our purchase accounting in the first quarter of 2022. There were no material changes in 2022 to the amounts previously disclosed.

Argentina Union Payments

In the third quarter of 2017, we acquired 100% of the shares of Maco Transportadora de Caudales S.A. ("Maco Transportadora") and Maco Litoral, S.A. ("Maco Litoral" and, together with Maco Transportadora, "Maco"). Maco Transportadora is a Cash-in-transit ("CIT") and money processing business and Maco Litoral provides CIT and ATM services. Both businesses operate in Argentina.

Although the Maco operations were acquired by Brink's Argentina in 2017, the National Antitrust Authority did not formally approve the business acquisitions until 2021. The approval was issued conditioned on the divestiture of certain armored vehicles and relocation of other armored vehicles. These actions were completed in 2022. Upon the acquisition approval by the National Antitrust Authority, the national teamster unions demanded that Maco employees be paid severance benefits as if the employees had been terminated in 2022 and then immediately rehired by Brink's Argentina without their seniority.

Brink's Argentina management has finalized negotiations with the Maco Transportadora and Maco Litoral unions and has agreed to pay amounts to the union members. In 2022, we recognized a $12.5 million charge in connection with these negotiations. Due to the fact that management has excluded this amount when evaluating internal performance, we have excluded it from segment results.

Acquisition costs

We have incurred $5.6 million in transaction costs related to business acquisitions in 2022 ($6.5 million in 2021 and $19.3 million in 2020). These costs are classified in the 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 $4.5 million gain on the sale of this business in 2020, which is reported in interest and other nonoperating income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. The French security services company was part of the Europe reportable segment and reported revenues of $3 million in 2019.
