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. In 2020, cash outflows from the purchases of these financial instruments totaled $20.5 million and cash inflows from the sale of these financial instruments totaled $10.1 million, resulting in $10.4 million in conversion losses at rates that were approximately 100% less favorable than rates at which we remeasured 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 2021 and 2022.

Argentina Marketable Securities

In 2022 and 2021, we used available Argentine pesos to purchase equity and available for sale debt securities. Cash outflows for the purchase of these financial instruments totaled $27.6 million and $12.9 million, respectively, and are reported in investing activities. Cash inflows totaled $9.9 million in 2022. We did not have any cash inflows from the sale of these financial instruments in 2021. At the time of any future sale of these financial instruments, proceeds received will be solely in Argentine pesos.

Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities

We acquired armored vehicles, CompuSafe® units and other equipment under financing lease arrangements in the last three years including $65.7 million in 2022, $85.9 million in 2021 and $31.4 million in 2020.

Loans Held for Investment

In France, as part of an ATM managed services contract for a large customer, we purchase the ATMs at the beginning of the contract. However, since these ATMs are specifically for the benefit of the customer and transfer back to the customer at the end of the contract, this is recorded as a financing transaction. As a result, the loan to the customer, net of payments received, is treated as investing cash flows.

Cash Paid for Acquisitions Included in Financing Activities In 2022, we paid $2.8 million in settlements related to the PAI acquisition. In 2021, we received $3.2 million related to settlements in the G4S acquisition and paid $1.1 million related to PAI settlements. In 2020, we paid $7.3 million related to the TVS acquisition completed in 2019. These payments are reported as cash outflows from financing activities as the payments were made more than three months after the acquisition date.

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 our revolving credit facilities, we are required to maintain restricted cash reserves totaling $40.7 million ($15.0 million at December 31, 2021) and, due to this contractual restriction, we have classified these amounts as restricted cash.

At December 31, 2022, we held $438.5 million of restricted cash ($229.3 million represented restricted cash held for customers and $156.3 million represented accrued liabilities). At December 31, 2021, we held $376.4 million of restricted cash ($215.5 million represented restricted cash held for customers and $139.9 million represented accrued liabilities).
