(a) During the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased a total of 1,181,106 shares of our common stock for an aggregate of $88.2 million in cash. On the last day of September 2023, our agent broker purchased additional shares of our common stock pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We were obligated to pay $1.8 million to repurchase those shares and, as of September 30, 2023, this obligation was reported as a current liability and a corresponding reduction to equity in our condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, shares repurchased include the 1% excise tax imposed under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 of approximately $0.8 million.

THE BRINK’S COMPANY
and subsidiaries
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, 2023.
Use of Estimates
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.
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 and available-for-sale debt 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 values of the equity securities are remeasured at the current exchange rates to determine gain or loss to be recorded in net income. For nonmonetary available-for-sale debt securities traded in highly inflationary economies, the fair market values of these debt securities are remeasured at the current exchange rates, with changes recorded in the gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We reclassify amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings when these debt securities are sold. 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 nine months of 2024 and 4% of our consolidated revenues for the first nine months of 2023.
The operating environment in Argentina continues to present business challenges, including ongoing devaluation of the Argentine peso and significant inflation. In the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, the Argentine peso declined approximately 14% (from 833.3 to 968.7 pesos to the U.S. dollar) and 48% (from 178.6 to 344.8 pesos to the U.S. dollar), respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Argentine peso declined approximately 79% (from 178.6 to 833.3 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 nine months of 2024, we recognized an $11.9 million pretax remeasurement loss. In the first nine months of 2023, we recognized a $23.9 million pretax remeasurement loss.
At September 30, 2024, Argentina's economy remains highly inflationary for accounting purposes. At September 30, 2024, we had net monetary assets denominated in Argentine pesos of $96.9 million (including cash of $83.0 million). At September 30, 2024, we had net nonmonetary assets of $150.6 million (including $99.8 million of goodwill, $1.3 million in equity securities denominated in Argentine pesos and $23.5 million in debt securities denominated in Argentine pesos).
At December 31, 2023, we had net monetary assets denominated in Argentine pesos of $72.1 million (including cash of $62.5 million) and net nonmonetary assets of $141.9 million (including $99.8 million of goodwill, $1.1 million in equity securities denominated in Argentine pesos and $5.6 million in debt 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 conversions or related conversion losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023.
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 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. Impairment indicators were reviewed as of September 30, 2024 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.
New Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires expanded disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for us on January 1, 2024 for annual reporting periods. For interim reporting periods, it will be effective for us on January 1, 2025. This new guidance will result in increased disclosures in the notes to our financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands annual disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and requires annual disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. (federal and state) and foreign jurisdictions. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, although early adoption is permitted. This new guidance will result in increased disclosures in the notes to our financial statements.
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 two broad categories: cash and valuables management; and digital retail solutions ("DRS") and ATM managed services ("AMS").
Cash and Valuables Management
Cash and valuables management services are provided to customers throughout the world. Cash-in-transit services include the secure transportation of cash, securities and other valuables between businesses, financial institutions and central banks. Basic ATM management services include cash replenishment, treasury management and first line maintenance. Our global services business provides secure transport of high-value commodities including diamonds, jewelry, precious metals, luxury goods, securities, banknotes, currency, high-tech devices, electronics and pharmaceuticals. Additional global services include pick-up, packaging, customs clearance, secure vault storage and inventory management. We also offer a variety of cash management services including money processing (e.g., counting, sorting, wrapping, checking condition of bills, etc.), check imaging and other cash management services (e.g., cashier balancing, counterfeit detection, account consolidation and electronic reporting). Our vaulting services combine cash-in-transit services, cash management services, vaulting and electronic reporting technologies to help banks expand into new markets while minimizing investment in vaults and branch facilities. In addition to providing secure storage, we process deposits, provide check imaging and reconciliation services, perform currency inventory management, process ATM replenishment orders and electronically transmit banking transactions. We provide other services to some of our customers, such as guarding, commercial security and payment services.
Digital Retail Solutions and ATM Managed Services
DRS and AMS are technology enabled services provided to customers throughout the world. DRS includes services that leverage Brink’s tech-enabled sales and software platforms to simplify cash acceptance, enables merchants to access their cash without visiting a bank and provides customers with enhanced analytics and visibility. DRS includes our patented Brink’s CompleteTM and CompuSafe® services. AMS provides comprehensive services beyond basic ATM services including cash forecasting, cash optimization, ATM remote monitoring, service call dispatching, transaction processing, and installation services. These services allow financial institutions, retailers and independent ATM owners to outsource day-to-day operation of ATMs. For certain customers, we take ownership of ATM devices as part of our managed services offering.
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.

Certain of our 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 Assets
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 Latin 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. In our Rest of World segment, certain Brink's affiliates provide services to specific customers and, per contract, a portion of the consideration is retained by the customers until the contract is completed. The retention amounts are reported as contract assets until we have the right to bill the customer for these amounts. Certain Brink's affiliates make upfront consideration payments in order to gain customer contracts. The upfront payment amounts are reported as contract assets and are amortized as a reduction to revenues over the duration of the contracts. Contract assets expected to be collected or amortized within one year ($3.7 million at September 30, 2024) are included in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amounts not expected to be billed or amortized within one year ($17.5 million at September 30, 2024) are reported in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Contract Liabilities
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 Assets | | Contract Liabilities |
| | | | | |
Opening (January 1, 2024) | $ | 779.0 | | | 15.4 | | | 21.4 | |
Closing (September 30, 2024) | 849.4 | | | 21.2 | | | 12.4 | |
Increase (decrease) | $ | 70.4 | | | 5.8 | | | (9.0) | |
The amount of revenue recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 that was included in the January 1, 2024 contract liabilities balance was $17.9 million. This revenue consists of services provided to customers who had prepaid for those services prior to the current year.
Revenue recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from performance obligations satisfied in the prior year was not significant. This revenue is a result of changes in the transaction price of our contracts with customers.
Contract Costs
Sales commissions directly related to obtaining new contracts with customers are capitalized when incurred and are then amortized to expense ratably over the term of the contracts. At September 30, 2024, the net capitalized costs to obtain contracts was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The capitalized amounts at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $4.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The amortization expense in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023 was $1.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
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 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 costs to manage the global business and perform activities required by public companies as well as other items that are considered part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities but are not considered when the CODM evaluates segment results. Examples include corporate staff compensation, corporate headquarters costs, regional management costs, share-based compensation, and currency transaction gains and losses.
•Other items not allocated to segments - include income and expenses that are not necessary to operate our business in the ordinary course and are not considered when the CODM evaluates segment results. These include non-recurring as well as certain recurring costs and gains which are not considered to be part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. As such, they have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results.
We manage our business in the following four segments:
•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,
•Europe – total operations in European countries that primarily provide services outside of the BGS line of business, and
•Rest of World – operations in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. This segment also includes total operations in European countries that primarily provide BGS services and BGS activity in Latin American countries where we do not have an ownership interest.
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:

Other Items not Allocated to Segments
Reorganization and Restructuring Net charges incurred in relation to certain restructuring actions include primarily severance charges and asset impairment losses. The 2022 Global Restructuring Plan was designed to, among other things, enable growth, reduce costs and related infrastructure, and to mitigate the potential impact of external economic conditions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Other restructuring actions were primarily in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and a decision to exit a line of business in our Canada operating unit.
Acquisitions and dispositions These items include non-cash amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets, as well as integration, transaction, restructuring and certain compensation costs.
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.
Transformation Initiatives During 2023, we initiated a multi-year program intended to accelerate growth and drive margin expansion through transformation of our business model in the U.S., with expectations to then leverage the transformation changes and learnings globally. The program is designed to help us standardize our commercial and operational systems and processes, drive continuous improvement and achieve operational excellence. The transformation costs primarily include third party professional services and project management charges. These costs relate to a discrete program.
Department of Justice Investigation In the second quarter of 2024, we recorded a charge for a probable loss in connection with a U.S. Department of Justice investigation. Additionally, we have incurred third-party costs, primarily legal costs in the current quarter, associated with this matter. See Note 14 for details.
Chile antitrust matter We have recorded charges for a contingent loss associated with an investigation initiated by the Chilean Fiscalía Nacional Económica or "FNE" (the Chilean antitrust agency). The investigation is related to potential anti-competitive practices among competitors in the cash logistics industry in Chile. Additionally, we have incurred third-party costs, primarily legal costs in the current quarter, associated with this matter. See Note 14 for details.
Non-routine auto loss matter In 2023, a Brink’s employee was involved in a motor vehicle accident with unique circumstances that resulted in the death of a third party and. In connection with the ensuing litigation, Brink’s recognized a charge. Additionally, we have incurred third-party costs, primarily legal costs in the current quarter, associated with this matter.
Reporting compliance We incurred certain third-party compliance costs in 2023 to remediate a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting.
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.

We did not make cash contributions to the primary U.S. pension plan in 2023 or the first nine months of 2024. Based on current assumptions described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we do not expect to make contributions to the primary U.S. pension plan until 2027.
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.

2024 Effective Income Tax Rate Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first nine months of 2024 was greater than the 21% U.S. statutory rate 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 and credit limitations.
2023 Effective Income Tax Rate Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first nine months of 2023 was greater than the 21% U.S. statutory rate 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 and credit limitations, the increase of valuation allowances on U.S. tax credits, and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax.
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.
In the first nine months of 2024, we acquired two business operations in the North America and Europe segments. The aggregate purchase consideration for these two acquisitions was approximately $21 million.
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 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 finalized negotiations with the Maco unions and agreed to pay amounts to the union members in monthly installments, which were completed in June 2024. We recognized $12.5 million in related costs in 2022. In the first nine months of 2023, we recognized a $4.7 million charge for an inflation-adjusted labor increase to the expected payments. In the first nine months of 2024, we recognized a $0.5 million charge for an inflation-adjusted labor increase to the expected payments. Changes in the liability as a result of currency-related remeasurement are reflected in our operating results as described in Note 1. Changes in the liability as a result of labor rate increases are reflected as acquisition-related costs.
Due to the fact that management has excluded these Argentina amounts when evaluating internal performance, we have excluded the amounts from segment results.

Pricing inputs for nonpublic debt are often not observable. The fair value estimates of our senior notes reflect unobservable estimates and assumptions, which we have categorized as a Level 3 valuation. Our fair value estimates were based on the present value of future cash flows, discounted at rates for public debt at the measurement date. The rates for public debt were additionally adjusted for a factor which represented the change in the interest spreads between the inception rates and the public debt rates at the measurement date.
Forward and Swap Contracts
Economic Hedges
We have outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies. At September 30, 2024, the notional value of our outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $1,001 million, with average maturities of approximately one month. These foreign currency forward and swap contracts primarily offset exposures in the euro, the British pound, and the Mexican peso and are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded immediately in earnings.
At September 30, 2024, the fair value of our short term foreign currency contracts was a net liability of approximately $13.2 million, of which $2.6 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $15.8 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of these foreign currency contracts was a net liability of approximately $1.1 million, of which $8.7 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $9.8 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Cash flows related to economic hedges are reported in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows based on the nature of the underlying items being hedged. For the periods presented, such cash flows are reported in operating activities or investing activities.
Amounts under these contracts were recognized in other operating income (expense) as follows:

| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
(a)Derivative instrument losses in the three months ended September 30, 2024, were higher than in the three months ended September 30, 2023, due primarily to the impact of forward currency contracts to hedge exposures to the Mexican peso-denominated intercompany loans.
Cross Currency Swap - Cash Flow Hedge
In the first quarter of 2019, we entered into a long term cross currency swap contract to hedge exposure in Brazilian real. This cross currency swap contract matured and was fully settled in the fourth quarter of 2023. The swap contract was designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes and changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedge were initially recorded in the gains (losses) on cash flow hedges component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We immediately reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings an amount to offset the remeasurement recognized in earnings associated with the respective intercompany loan. Additionally, we reclassified amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense that were associated with the interest rate differential between a U.S. dollar denominated intercompany loan and a Brazilian real denominated intercompany loan.
In the first nine months of 2023, amounts under this contract were recognized in other operating income (expense) to offset transaction gains or losses and in interest expense as follows:

Interest Rate Swaps - Cash Flow Hedges
In the first quarter of 2019, we entered into ten interest rate swaps that matured in January 2024. These interest rate swaps hedged cash flow risk associated with changes in variable interest rates and were designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedges were initially recorded in the gains (losses) on cash flow hedges component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We reclassified amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings in the same periods that the hedged debt affected earnings.
At December 31, 2023, the fair value of these interest rate swaps was a net asset of $1.1 million, which was included in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In the first quarter of 2022, we entered into four forward-starting interest rate swaps that hedge cash flow risk associated with changes in variable interest rates and that were designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. The forward-starting interest rate swaps had a maturity date in July 2030 and had a mandatory settlement scheduled to occur in July 2022. In July 2022, an amendment was executed to terminate the four forward-starting interest rates swaps and concurrently enter into three forward-starting interest rate swaps with an amended maturity in June 2027. We designated these interest rates swaps as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedges are initially recorded in the gains (losses) on cash flow hedges component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We reclassify amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings in the same periods that the hedged debt affects earnings.
As of the July 2022 termination date of the four previous interest rate swaps, a cumulative net gain of $9.2 million was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). This amount is reclassified to earnings as forecasted interest payments occur through the original maturity date in July 2030. The three new interest rate swaps had an inception date fair value equal to a $9.2 million asset, approximating the settlement value of the four previous interest rate swaps. Instead of receiving cash upon termination of the previous swaps, we elected to negotiate a lower off-market fixed rate for the three new interest rate swaps. This inception date fair value is amortized to earnings on a ratable and systematic basis through the maturity date of the new interest rate swaps in June 2027.
At September 30, 2024, the notional value of these contracts was $200 million with a remaining weighted-average maturity of 1.4 years. At September 30, 2024, the fair value of these interest rate swaps was a net asset of $8.1 million, of which $4.0 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $4.1 million was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of these interest rate swaps was a net asset of $12.2 million, of which $5.8 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $6.4 million was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, we entered into two interest rate swaps with a maturity date in June 2027. These swaps are intended to hedge cash flow risk associated with changes in variable interest rates and were designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedges are initially recorded in the gains (losses) on cash flow hedges component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We reclassify amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings in the same periods that the hedged debt affects earnings.
At September 30, 2024, the notional value of these contracts was $175 million with a remaining weighted-average maturity of 1.4 years. At September 30, 2024, the fair value of these interest rate swaps was a net liability of $1.3 million, of which $0.4 million was included in
prepaid expenses and other and $1.7 million was included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of these interest rate swaps was a net asset of $0.1 million, of which $1.9 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $1.8 million was included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In the second quarter of 2023, we entered into eight forward-starting interest rate swaps that became effective in January 2024. The forward-starting interest rate swaps have a maturity date in June 2027. These swaps replaced the $400 million interest rate swaps that matured on the same date in January 2024 that the forward-starting swaps became effective. These swaps are intended to hedge cash flow risk associated with changes in variable interest rates and were designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedges are initially recorded in the gains (losses) on cash flow hedges component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
At September 30, 2024, the notional value of these contracts was $400 million with a remaining weighted-average maturity of 1.4 years. At September 30, 2024, the fair value of these interest rate swaps was a net asset of $1.9 million, of which $2.7 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $0.8 million was included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of these interest rate swaps was a net asset of $5.7 million, of which $5.4 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $0.3 million was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Cash flows related to interest rate swaps are reported as operating activities.
In October 2024, we terminated all of our outstanding interest rate swap contracts, which had an aggregate notional value of $775 million. We received approximately $19 million in cash proceeds as a result of terminating these contracts.
Net Investment Hedges
In the second quarter of 2021, we entered into ten cross currency swaps to hedge a portion of our net investments in certain of our subsidiaries with euro functional currencies. As net investment hedges for accounting purposes, we elected to use the spot method to assess effectiveness for these derivatives that are designated as net investment hedges. Accordingly, changes in fair value attributable to changes in the undiscounted spot rates are recorded in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will remain there until the hedged net investments are sold or substantially liquidated. We have elected to exclude the spot-forward difference from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are amortizing this amount separately on a straight-line basis over the term of these cross currency swaps.
In the third quarter of 2022, we terminated these cross currency swap contracts and received $67 million in cash for the fair value of the derivative assets at the settlement date. We subsequently entered into a total of nine cross currency swaps with a total notional value of $400 million to hedge a portion of our net investment in certain of our subsidiaries with euro functional currencies. Swaps with a total notional value of $215 million will terminate in May 2026 and swaps with a total notional value of $185 million will terminate in April 2031. We have designated these swaps as net investment hedges for accounting purposes.
In the third quarter of 2023, we entered into a zero cost foreign exchange collar contract with a $215 million notional amount and a May 2026 expiration date. We sold a put option with a lower strike price and bought a call option with a higher strike price to manage the foreign exchange risk related to the final settlement of the $215 million notional cross currency swaps. Upon the execution of the zero cost foreign exchange collar contract, we de-designated the existing $215 million notional cross currency swaps and re-designated the combined $215 million notional cross currency swaps and zero cost collar into a new hedging instrument. At re-designation, the existing $215 million notional cross currency swaps had a non-zero fair value representing an off-market component of the participating cross currency swaps. The off-market value is being ratably amortized into earnings through May 2026. The combined cross currency swaps and zero cost collar has been designated as a net investment hedge for accounting purposes.
At September 30, 2024, the total notional value of these cross currency swap contracts was $400 million with a remaining weighted average maturity of 1.5 years for the cross currency swaps maturing in May 2026 and a remaining weighted average maturity of 5.7 years for the cross currency swaps maturing in April 2031. At September 30, 2024, the fair value of these cross currency swaps was a net liability of $38.2 million, of which $5.6 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $43.8 million was included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of these cross currency swaps was a net liability of $34.6 million, of which $5.6 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $40.2 million was included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At September 30, 2024, the fair value of the zero cost collar was an asset of $0.4 million, which was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of the zero cost collar was an asset of $0.1 million, which was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, we entered into a foreign exchange forward swap contract to hedge a portion of our net investments in certain of our subsidiaries with Hong Kong dollar functional currencies. As the contract is designated as a net investment hedge for accounting purposes, we will use the spot method to assess effectiveness of this derivative contract. We will record changes in fair value attributable to changes in the Hong Kong dollar undiscounted spot rates in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) with amounts remaining in accumulated comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged net investments are sold or substantially liquidated. We have elected to exclude the spot-forward difference from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are amortizing this amount separately on a straight-line basis over the term of the foreign exchange forward swap contract.
At September 30, 2024, the notional value of this foreign exchange forward swap contract was $55 million with a remaining weighted average maturity of 0.1 years. At September 30, 2024, the fair value of this derivative contract was an asset of $0.1 million, which was included in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of this derivative contract was an asset of $0.1 million, which was included in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Cash flows related to the amortization of the off-market component of net investment hedges are reported in investing activities. Cash flows from the termination and final settlement of net investment hedges are reported in investing activities. All other cash flow from net investment hedges are reported as operating activities.
The effect of the interest rate swaps and the amortization of the spot-forward difference on the net investment hedges cross currency swaps is included in interest expense as follows:

Net derivative instrument gains included in interest expense | $ | (5.8) | | | (6.6) | | | (17.8) | | | (18.5) | |
The fair values of these forward and swap contracts are based on the present value of net future cash payments and receipts, as well as inputs related to forward interest rates and forward currency rates that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data, which we have categorized as a Level 2 valuation. The majority of cash flows associated with our forward and swap contracts are included as changes in other operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. If a contract has a significant financing element, cash flows are included within the financing activities section of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Contingent Consideration
In the second quarter of 2020, we acquired cash management operations in Malaysia from U.K.-based G4S Plc ("G4S") and have recorded a payable for contingent consideration. The contingent 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 is the full $24 million that remains potentially payable as of September 30, 2024 as we believe it is unlikely that the contingent consideration payments will be reduced.
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 nine months of 2024.

Long-Term Debt
Senior Secured Credit Facility
In June 2022, we amended our senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent. After the amendment, the Senior Secured Credit Facility consisted of a $1 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and $1.4 billion of term loans (the "Term Loans").
All loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loans mature on June 23, 2027. Principal payments for the Term Loans are due quarterly in an amount equal to 0.625% of the initial loan amount for the first eight quarterly installment payments and 1.25% for subsequent payments with a final lump sum payment due on June 23, 2027. Interest rates for the Senior Secured Credit Facility are based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") 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 September 30, 2024, $499 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 SOFR 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 SOFR borrowings, which can range from 1.25% to 1.75%, was 1.50% at September 30, 2024. The margin on alternate base rate borrowings, which can range from 0.25% to 0.75%, was 0.50% as of September 30, 2024. 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 0.28%, was 0.23% as of September 30, 2024.
Senior Unsecured Notes
In June 2024, we issued at par five-year senior unsecured notes (the "2029 Senior Unsecured Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $400 million. The 2029 Senior Unsecured Notes will mature on June 15, 2029, and bear an annual interest rate of 6.5%. The 2029 Senior Unsecured 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 June 2024, we issued at par eight-year senior unsecured notes (the "2032 Senior Unsecured Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $400 million. The 2032 Senior Unsecured Notes will mature on June 15, 2032, and bear an annual interest rate of 6.75%. The 2032 Senior Unsecured 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 June 2020, we issued at par five-year senior unsecured notes (the "2025 Senior Unsecured Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $400 million. The 2025 Senior Unsecured Notes had a maturity date of July 15, 2025 and an annual interest rate of 5.5%. The 2025 Senior Unsecured Notes were 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. On August 7, 2024, we issued a notice of redemption to holders to redeem all of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Senior Unsecured Notes in accordance with the terms of the notes and the indenture. The notes were redeemed on September 13, 2024.
In October 2017, we issued at par ten-year senior unsecured notes (the "2027 Senior Unsecured Notes" and together with the 2025 Senior Unsecured Notes, 2029 Senior Unsecured Notes and 2032 Senior Unsecured Notes, the "Senior Unsecured Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $600 million. The 2027 Senior Unsecured Notes will mature on October 15, 2027, bearing an annual interest rate of 4.625%. The 2027 Senior Unsecured 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 Unsecured Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 2027 Senior Unsecured Notes were used in part to repay certain prior indebtedness and certain fees and expenses related to the closing of certain transactions. Borrowings were used for working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. The aggregate proceeds from the 2025 Senior Unsecured 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 2025 Senior Unsecured Notes were used for working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. The aggregate proceeds from the 2029 Senior Unsecured Notes and 2032 Senior Unsecured Notes were used to redeem the $400 million outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Senior Unsecured Notes prior to maturity and to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under our Revolving Credit Facility. Before applying a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to redeem or repurchase the 2025 Senior Unsecured Notes as described above, we used such portion of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes and to temporarily repay additional amounts outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility.
Other Revolving Credit Facilities
We also have revolving credit facilities in our North America, Latin America and Europe segments ("Other Revolving Credit Facilities"). On an aggregate basis, borrowings under these facilities total $359 million with an additional $353 million available as of September 30, 2024, including $126 million in Short-term borrowings and $233 million in Other long-term debt. Maturity dates of the long-term facilities range from February 2027 to July 2027 and interest rates range from 6.35% to 7.00%. Borrowings under these facilities are secured by cash held by Brink's. In July 2024, we increased the capacity of the largest of these credit facilities from $250 million to $500 million.
Other Debt Facilities
The Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Unsecured Notes, Other Revolving Credit Facilities, and other debt 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 September 30, 2024.
Note 10 - Credit losses
We are exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of our cash and valuable management services and DRS and AMS 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 financial assets by geographic location because of the similarities within each location 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 also considered current and expected economic conditions in determining an appropriate allowance.
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 nine month period ended September 30, 2024.

Note 11 - Share-based compensation plans
We have share-based compensation plans to attract and retain employees and non-employee directors and to more closely align their interests with those of our shareholders.
We have outstanding share-based awards granted to employees under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan") and under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2024 Plan"). The 2017 Plan and the 2024 Plan each permit grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance stock units, stock appreciation rights, stock options, as well as other share-based awards to eligible employees. The 2017 Plan and the 2024 Plan also permit cash awards to eligible employees. The 2017 Plan became effective May 2017. The 2024 Plan became effective May 2024. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the remaining outstanding awards granted under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan") were fully exercised. No further grants of awards will be made under the 2013 Plan or the 2017 Plan.
We have outstanding deferred stock units granted to directors under the 2017 Plan and 2024 Plan. Share-based awards were previously granted to directors and remain outstanding under the Non-Employee Directors' Equity Plan and the Directors’ Stock Accumulation Plan, each of which has expired.
Outstanding awards at September 30, 2024 include performance stock units, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, 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 recognized expense from the grant date to six months after the participant's retirement eligible date. In 2021, the retirement eligibility provisions were changed to require a minimum of a one year service period in order to meet the retirement eligible conditions. For the 2022, 2023 and 2024 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.
For awards considered liability awards, compensation cost is based on the change in the fair value of the instrument for each reporting period and the percentage of the requisite service that has been rendered.
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 | | Compensation Expense |

Performance-Based Stock Options
Prior to 2019, we granted primarily performance-based stock options to select senior executives. These performance-based awards have a service condition as well as a market condition. We measured the fair value of these performance-based options at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. No performance-based options were granted after 2018.
The following table summarizes performance-based stock option activity during the first nine months of 2024:

Time-Based Stock Options
In 2020 and 2019, we granted time-based stock options to certain senior executives. 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 nine months of 2024:

Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)
We granted RSUs that contain only a service condition as part of our compensation program. 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 nine months of 2024:

Nonvested balance as of September 30, 2024 | 292.0 | | | $ | 73.10 | |
Performance Stock Units ("PSUs”)
Historically, we have granted Internal Metric PSUs ("IM PSUs") and Relative Total Shareholder Return PSUs ("TSR PSUs") as part of our compensation program.
The majority of outstanding 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 IM PSUs granted in 2021, the performance period was from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022 with an additional one year of service requirement after 2022. For IM PSUs granted in 2022, the performance period is from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. For IM PSUs granted in 2023, the performance period is from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025. For IM PSUs granted in 2024, the performance period is from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. In 2023 and in 2024, we also granted IM PSUs to certain employees which contain a market condition (in the form of a relative TSR modifier), a performance condition, and a service condition. We measure the fair value of IM PSUs containing a market condition at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
Before 2023, we granted TSR PSUs containing a market condition as well as a service condition. We measure the fair value of TSR PSUs at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. For TSR PSUs granted in 2021, the service period was from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. For TSR PSUs granted in 2022, the service period is from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024.
The following table summarizes all PSU activity during the first nine months of 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

Nonvested balance as of September 30, 2024 | 653.1 | | | $ | 72.63 | |
(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, 2023 were 438.7 thousand, compared to target shares of 229.1 thousand.
Deferred Stock Units ("DSUs")
We granted DSUs to our non-employee directors as part of our compensation program. 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 approximately one year after 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.

Note 12 - Capital Stock
Common Stock
At September 30, 2024, we had 100 million shares of common stock authorized and 43.7 million shares issued and outstanding.
Dividends
We paid regular quarterly dividends on our common stock during the last two years. On July 11, 2024, the Board declared a regular quarterly dividend of 24.25 cents per share payable on September 3, 2024 to shareholders of record on July 29, 2024. On September 19, 2024, the Board declared a regular quarterly dividend of 24.25 cents per share payable on December 2, 2024 to shareholders of record on November 4, 2024 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 September 30, 2024, 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
In November 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a $500 million share repurchase program that expires on December 31, 2025 (the "2023 Repurchase Program").
Under the 2023 Share 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.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased a total of 1,291,224 shares of our common stock for an aggregate of $125.3 million and an average price of $97.04 per share. These shares were retired upon repurchase. At September 30, 2024, $375 million remained available under the 2023 Repurchase Program.
In October 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a $250 million share repurchase program (the "2021 Repurchase Program"). Under the 2021 Repurchase Program, in 2023, we repurchased a total of 2,297,955 shares of our common stock for an aggregate of $169.9 million and an average price of $73.92 per share. These shares were retired upon repurchase. The 2021 Repurchase Program expired on December 31, 2023 with approximately $28 million remaining available.

(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 0.2 million in the three months and 0.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 0.3 million in the three months and 0.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities
We acquired $44.2 million in armored vehicles and other equipment under financing lease arrangements in the first nine months of 2024 compared to $61.5 million in armored vehicles and other equipment acquired under financing lease arrangements in the first nine months of 2023.
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.
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.
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 $43.8 million ($40.9 million at December 31, 2023) and, due to this contractual restriction, we have classified these amounts as restricted cash.
At September 30, 2024, we held $412.5 million of restricted cash ($191.2 million represented restricted cash held for customers and $178.2 million represented accrued liabilities). At December 31, 2023, we held $507.0 million of restricted cash ($298.7 million represented restricted cash held for customers and $167.8 million represented accrued liabilities).
Lessor Debt Financing
In certain leasing transactions, we acquire assets through capital expenditures that are then sold to lessors in which the cash received is classified as borrowings from financing activities rather than proceeds from investing activities. Cash inflows related to these transactions totaled $19.4 million in the first nine months of 2024 compared to $19.8 million in the first nine months of 2023 and are included in Other long-term debt borrowings within financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
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.

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”), primarily related to cross-border shipments of cash and things of value and anti-money laundering (“AML”) compliance. Subsequently, in March 2024, as is commonly the case with this type of matter, the Company received a Notice of Investigation from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) related to Bank Secrecy Act/AML compliance that involves substantially the same conduct that is subject to the DOJ’s investigation. We are cooperating and engaging with the DOJ and FinCEN. We are in discussions with the DOJ regarding a potential resolution and, in connection with these discussions, we recorded a charge in the second quarter of 2024 related to the DOJ investigation for an amount that is not material to the Company. Based on the information available to date, the Company believes that the high end of the range of reasonably possible loss with respect to the DOJ investigation is $50 million. We remain in the early stages of engagement with FinCEN and, therefore, no accrual has been made with respect to the FinCEN investigation. The Company cannot predict the outcome of either investigation or the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters.
We cannot provide assurances that any efforts to reach a settlement with the DOJ or FinCEN will be successful or, if they are, what the timing or terms of any such settlement would be. We expect any settlement would include one or more settlement payments to the government, which could be material to the Company, and it may also include non-monetary obligations, which may require the Company to incur future costs, which could be material to the Company.
At the end of the fourth quarter of 2018, we became aware of an investigation initiated by the Chilean Fiscalía Nacional Económica (the Chilean antitrust agency) (“FNE”) related to potential anti-competitive practices among competitors in the cash logistics industry in Chile. In October 2021, the FNE filed a complaint before the Chilean antitrust court alleging that Brink’s Chile (as well as competitor companies) engaged in collusion in 2017 and 2018 and requested that the court approve a fine of $30.5 million. The Company filed its response to the complaint in November 2022, which signaled the beginning of the evidentiary phase. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the FNE's complaint. Based on available information to date, the Company recorded a charge of $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2021 in connection with this matter. After the third quarter of 2021, all adjustments to the contingent liability have resulted primarily from changes in currency rates.
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 legal matters currently pending against the Company could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

GAAP Basis
Analysis of Consolidated Results: Third Quarter 2024 versus Third Quarter 2023
Consolidated Revenues Revenues increased $31.1 million due to organic increases in Latin America ($117.1 million), Europe ($22.9 million), North America ($10.4 million), and Rest of World ($5.4 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($6.5 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($131.2 million). The unfavorable currency impact was driven primarily by the Argentine peso. Revenues increased 13% on an organic basis primarily due to inflation-based price increases and organic growth in AMS and DRS revenue. See our definition of “organic growth” on page 50.
Consolidated Costs and Expenses Cost of revenues increased 2% to $943.6 million primarily due to the impact of higher revenue partially offset by the impact of exchange rates. Selling, general and administrative costs increased 19% to $202.3 million primarily due to organic increases in labor costs and costs related to transformation initiatives, partially offset by the impact of currency exchange rates and lower acquisition and restructuring related costs.
Consolidated Operating Profit and Operating Profit Margin Operating profit margin decreased from 11.2% to 8.9%. Operating profit decreased $26.1 million due mainly to:
•unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates ($50.7 million), driven by the Argentine peso,

Consolidated Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to Brink’s and Related Per Share Amounts Income from continuing operations attributable to Brink’s shareholders decreased $16.8 million to $28.9 million due to the decrease in operating profit mentioned above and higher interest expense ($9.2 million), partially offset by lower income tax expense ($10.1 million), higher interest and other nonoperating income ($7.6 million) and lower noncontrolling interest ($0.8 million). Earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.65, down from $0.97 in the third quarter of 2023.
Analysis of Consolidated Results: Nine Months 2024 versus Nine Months 2023
Consolidated Revenues Revenues increased $118.7 million due to organic increases in Latin America ($360.9 million), Europe ($65.6 million), North America ($24.3 million), and Rest of World ($17.3 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($15.1 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($364.5 million). The unfavorable currency impact was driven primarily by the Argentine peso. Revenues increased 13% on an organic basis primarily due to inflation-based price increases and organic growth in AMS and DRS revenue. See our definition of “organic growth” on page 50.
Consolidated Costs and Expenses Cost of revenues increased 1% to $2,808.6 million primarily due to the impact of higher revenue partially offset by the impact of exchange rates. Selling, general and administrative costs increased 15% to $597.2 million primarily due to organic increases in labor costs and higher transformation initiative costs, partially offset by the impact of currency exchange rates.
Consolidated Operating Profit and Operating Profit Margin Operating profit margin increased from 8.9% to 9.3%. Operating profit increased $25.4 million due mainly to:
•organic increases in Latin America ($113.4 million), North America ($17.2 million), Europe ($10.3 million), and Rest of World ($4.1 million),

•transformation initiative costs ($21.5 million).
Consolidated Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to Brink’s and Related Per Share Amounts Income from continuing operations attributable to Brink’s shareholders increased $32.3 million to $124.5 million due to the increase in operating profit mentioned above and higher interest and other nonoperating income ($24.6 million), lower income tax expense ($5.5 million) and lower noncontrolling interest ($0.6 million), partially offset by higher interest expense ($23.8 million) . Earnings per share from continuing operations was $2.77, up from $1.95 in the first nine months of 2023.

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 decreased $29.9 million to $67.6 million due to the operating profit decrease mentioned above, lower interest and other nonoperating income ($12.6 million), and higher interest expense ($9.4 million), partially offset by lower income tax expense ($5.9 million), and lower noncontrolling interest ($0.9 million). Earnings per share from continuing operations was $1.51, down from $2.07 in the third quarter of 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA decreased 6% to $216.8 million primarily due to the decrease in Non-GAAP operating profit ($14.7 million), excluding the impact of higher Non-GAAP depreciation and amortization ($2.8 million).
Analysis of Consolidated Results: Nine Months 2024 versus Nine Months 2023
Non-GAAP Consolidated Operating Profit and Non-GAAP Operating Profit Margin Non-GAAP operating profit margin increased from 11.7% to 12.1%. Non-GAAP operating profit increased $26.7 million due mainly to:
•organic increases in Latin America ($113.4 million), North America ($17.2 million), Europe ($10.3 million), and Rest of World ($4.1 million), and
•lower corporate expenses on an organic basis ($2.6 million),
partially offset by:
•unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates ($122.0 million), driven primarily by the Argentine peso.
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 decreased $5.2 million to $212.7 million due to higher interest expense ($24.5 million) and higher income tax expense ($11.5 million), partially offset by the operating profit increase mentioned above, higher interest and other nonoperating income ($3.4 million), and lower noncontrolling interest ($0.7 million). Earnings per share from continuing operations was $4.73, up from $4.61 in the first nine months of 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA increased 7% to $660.9 million primarily due to the increase in Non-GAAP operating profit ($26.7 million), excluding the impact of higher depreciation and amortization ($9.3 million).

Analysis of Segment Results: Third Quarter 2024 versus Third Quarter 2023
North America
Revenues increased 4% ($14.5 million) due to a 3% organic increase ($10.4 million) and the impact of acquisitions ($4.6 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($0.5 million). Organic revenue increased primarily due to price increases and growth in AMS and DRS revenue in the U.S., partially offset by lower BGS revenue. Operating profit decreased 13% ($6.0 million) due to a 13% organic decrease ($6.3 million) partially offset by the impact of acquisitions $0.3 million. The organic decrease was primarily driven by technology and operational investments that impacted labor and fleet productivity as well as the net impact of revenue mix.
Latin America
Revenues decreased 5% ($18.6 million) due to the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($135.7 million) primarily from the Argentine and Mexican peso, largely offset by a 34% organic increase ($117.1 million). The organic increase was primarily driven by inflation-based price increases across the segment with a majority of the impact from Argentina, as well as growth in AMS and DRS revenue. Operating profit increased 3% ($2.2 million) primarily due to a 70% organic increase ($47.7 million), mostly offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($45.5 million). The organic increase was driven by inflation-based price increases which outpaced the impact of labor and other cost increases.
Europe
Revenues increased 10% ($27.7 million) due to an 8% organic increase ($22.9 million), the favorable impact of currency exchange rates ($2.9 million), and the impact of acquisitions ($1.9 million). Organic revenue increased primarily due to price increases and the growth of AMS and DRS revenue. Operating profit increased $4.3 million primarily due to an 11% organic increase ($3.8 million) driven by higher revenue outpacing the impact of labor and other cost increases across the segment, cost productivity, and the mix benefit of higher AMS and DRS revenue.
Rest of World
Revenues increased $7.5 million due to a 3% organic increase ($5.4 million) and the favorable impact of currency exchange rates ($2.1 million). Organic growth in the segment was primarily due to growth in DRS and AMS revenue offset by volume reductions in CVM revenue. Operating profit increased 3% ($1.2 million) primarily due to a 2% organic increase ($1.0 million).

Analysis of Segment Results: Nine Months 2024 versus Nine Months 2023
North America
Revenues increased 3% ($32.7 million) primarily due to a 2% organic increase ($24.3 million) and the impact of acquisitions ($9.4 million). Organic revenue increased primarily due to price increases and growth in AMS and DRS revenue in the U.S., partially offset by lower BGS revenue. Operating profit increased $18.0 million due to a 14% organic increase ($17.2 million) and the impact of acquisitions ($0.8 million). The organic increase was primarily driven by the net impact of revenue mix and cost productivity improvements from transformation initiatives in the U.S., partially offset by technology and operational investments in the third quarter that impacted labor and fleet productivity.
Latin America
Revenues decreased ($1.6 million) due to the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($362.5 million), primarily from the Argentine peso, mostly offset by a 36% organic increase ($360.9 million). The organic increase was driven by inflation-based price increases across the segment with a majority of the impact from Argentina, as well as growth in AMS and DRS revenue. Operating profit decreased 2% ($4.1 million) due to the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($117.5 million), mostly offset by a 57% organic increase ($113.4 million). The organic increase was driven by higher revenue which outpaced the impact of labor and other cost increases.
Europe
Revenues increased 9% ($74.2 million) due to an 8% organic increase ($65.6 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($5.7 million). The organic increase was primarily due to price increases and the growth of AMS and DRS revenue. Operating profit increased 13% ($11.1 million), primarily due to a 12% organic increase ($10.3 million). The organic increase was primarily driven by higher revenue outpacing the impact of labor and other cost increases across the segment, cost productivity, and the mix benefit of higher AMS and DRS revenue.
Rest of World
Revenues increased 2% ($13.4 million) due to a 3% organic increase ($17.3 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($3.9 million). Organic growth in the segment was primarily due to continued growth in AMS and DRS revenue and supplemented by growth in BGS revenue. Operating profit increased 2% ($2.7 million) due to a 3% organic increase ($4.1 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($1.1 million). The organic increase was primarily due the increase in higher-margin revenue.
Analysis of Income and Expense Not Allocated to Segments
Income and expenses not allocated to segments are reported either as “Corporate Expenses” or “Other Items not Allocated to Segments.”
Corporate Expenses include costs to manage the global business and perform activities required by public companies as well as other items that are considered part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities but are not considered when the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") evaluates segment results. Examples include corporate staff compensation, corporate headquarters costs, regional management costs, share-based compensation, and currency transaction gains and losses.
Other Items not Allocated to Segments include income and expenses that are not necessary to operate our business in the ordinary course and are not considered when the CODM evaluates segment results. These include non-recurring as well as certain recurring costs and gains which are not considered to be part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Each of the items in the “Other Items Not Allocated to Segments” table is excluded from non-GAAP operating profit.

Corporate expenses for the three months ended September 30 2024 increased $16.4 million compared to the prior year period. The higher costs primarily resulted from increased charges for insurance and security losses ($9.4 million), higher net compensation costs ($4.2 million), a reduction in currency transaction gains ($3.1 million) and higher technology costs ($2.6 million). Corporate expenses for the first nine months of 2024 increased $1.0 million versus the prior year period. This was primarily driven by higher net compensation costs ($6.5 million), higher technology costs ($4.9 million) and higher professional and audit fees ($2.6 million), mostly offset by lower charges related to insurance and security losses ($13.1 million).

Reorganization and Restructuring
Costs associated with certain reorganization and restructuring actions are excluded from reported non-GAAP results. These items include primarily severance charges and asset impairment losses. The 2022 Global Restructuring Plan was designed to, among other things, enable growth, reduce costs and related infrastructure, and to mitigate the potential impact of external economic conditions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Other restructuring actions were primarily in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and a decision to exit a line of business in our Canada operating unit. Due to the unusual nature of the underlying events that led to these actions, the charges are not considered part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. As such, they have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results and are excluded from non-GAAP results.
2022 Global Restructuring Plan
In the first quarter of 2023, management completed the review and approval of remaining actions included in the previously announced restructuring program across our global business operations. In total, we have recognized $34.2 million in charges under this program, including $1.0 million in the first nine months of 2024. The actions under this program were substantially completed in 2024. Severance actions from this restructuring plan reduced our global workforce by approximately 3,200 positions.
Other Restructurings
As a result of other restructuring actions, we recognized net costs of $4.6 million in the first nine months of 2023, primarily severance costs. We recognized $0.9 million in net costs in the first nine months of 2024. The actions were substantially completed in 2024.
Charges related to 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 are not part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. These items include non-cash amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets, as well as integration, transaction, restructuring and certain compensation costs. All of the items are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of our acquisitions and dispositions, and many are inconsistent in amount and frequency. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, we have not allocated these amounts to segment or Corporate results and have excluded these amounts from non-GAAP results.
These items are described below:
2024 Acquisitions and Dispositions
•Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $43.8 million in the first nine months of 2024.
•Net charges of $2.4 million were incurred for post-acquisition adjustments to indemnification assets related to previous business acquisitions.
•We recognized $0.5 million in charges in Argentina in the first nine months of 2024 for an inflation-adjusted labor increase to expected payments to union workers of the Maco Transportadora and Maco Litoral businesses (together, "Maco"). Although the Maco operations were acquired in 2017, formal antitrust approval was obtained in 2021, which triggered negotiation and approval of the expected payments in 2022. See Note 6 for details.
•We incurred $0.5 million in integration costs in the first nine months of 2024.
•Transaction costs related to business acquisitions were $0.6 million in the first nine months of 2024.
•A net credit of $1.3 million related to the reversal of a retention liability for key PAI employees was recorded in the first nine months of 2024.
2023 Acquisitions and Dispositions
•Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $43.2 million in the first nine months of 2023.
•We derecognized a contingent consideration liability related to the NoteMachine business acquisition and recognized a gain of $4.8 million.
•We recognized $4.7 million in charges in Argentina in the first nine months of 2023 for an inflation-adjusted labor increase to expected payments to union workers of the Maco businesses.
•Net charges of $3.4 million were incurred for post-acquisition adjustments to indemnification assets related to previous business acquisitions.
•We incurred $2.0 million in integration costs, primarily related to PAI, in the first nine months of 2023.
•Transaction costs related to business acquisitions were $3.6 million in the first nine months of 2023.
•We recognized a $2.0 million loss on the disposition of Russia-based operations in the first nine months of 2023.
•Compensation expense related to the retention of key PAI employees was $1.3 million in the first nine months of 2023.
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 nine months of 2024, we recognized $23.8 million in pretax charges in operating profit related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $11.9 million. In the first nine months of 2023, we recognized $30.3 million in pretax charges in operating profit related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $23.9 million. Highly inflationary adjustments also impact gains and losses on marketable securities due to the change in exchange rates. These non-cash charges are not part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. As such, they have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results and are excluded from non-GAAP results.
Transformation initiatives During 2023, we initiated a multi-year program intended to accelerate growth and drive margin expansion through transformation of our business model in the U.S., with expectations to then leverage the transformation changes and learnings globally. The program is designed to help us standardize our commercial and operational systems and processes, drive continuous improvement and achieve operational excellence. Accordingly, we incurred $5.5 million of expense in 2023 and an additional $21.5 million in the first nine months of 2024. The transformation costs primarily include third party professional services and project management charges. These costs relate to a discrete program and are not reflective of our ongoing operating cost structure, and are not indicative of our core operating expenses or normal activities. Additionally, management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. As such, they have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results and are excluded from non-GAAP results.
Department of Justice investigation During the first nine months of 2024, we accrued $7.7 million in connection with a U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") investigation. This amount represents an estimate for a potential resolution, as well as third-party legal costs associated with this matter. In the third quarter of 2024, we determined it was appropriate to exclude third-party costs associated with this matter from non-GAAP results, which for the current quarter consisted of legal costs. In August 2020, the Company received a subpoena issued in connection with the DOJ investigation, primarily related to cross-border shipments of cash and things of value and anti-money laundering (“AML”) compliance. Subsequently, in March 2024, as is commonly the case with this type of matter, the Company received a Notice of Investigation from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) related to Bank Secrecy Act/AML compliance that involves substantially the same conduct that is subject to the DOJ’s investigation. These costs are not considered part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Additionally, the nature of these amounts, including both the estimate for a potential resolution and associated third-party costs, and the underlying investigation are such that they are not reasonably likely to recur within two years, nor were there similar charges within the prior two years. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, these amounts have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results and are excluded from non-GAAP results. See Note 14 for details.
Chile antitrust matter We recognized an estimated loss of $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2021. In the first nine months of 2024, we recognized a $1.1 million adjustment and, in the first nine months of 2023, a $0.4 million adjustment to the estimated loss. The post-2021 adjustments were primarily related to changes in currency rates as well as third-party legal costs associated with this matter. In the third quarter of 2024, we determined it was appropriate to exclude third-party costs associated with this matter from non-GAAP results, which for the current quarter primarily consisted of legal costs. Overall, these charges related to a potential fine associated with an investigation by the Chilean Fiscalía Nacional Económica or "FNE" (the Chilean antitrust agency). The investigation is related to potential anti-competitive practices among competitors in the cash logistics industry in Chile. These costs are not considered part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Additionally, the nature of these amounts, including the estimated loss and associated third-party costs, is such that they are not reasonably likely to recur within two years, nor were there similar charges within the prior two years of the underlying event. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, these amounts have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results and are excluded from non-GAAP results. See Note 14 for details.
Non-routine auto loss matter In 2023, a Brink’s employee was involved in a motor vehicle accident with unique circumstances that resulted in the death of a third party and, in connection with the ensuing litigation, Brink’s recognized an $8.0 million charge. In the first nine months of 2024, we recognized a $0.5 million charge related to third-party legal costs associated with this matter. In the third quarter of 2024, we determined it was appropriate to exclude third-party costs associated with this matter from non-GAAP results, which for the current quarter consisted of legal costs. Due to the unusual nature of the matter, including the unique circumstances of the claim, potential magnitude of remedy, and variation from our ordinary-course litigation strategy, we consider the litigation and associated third-party costs as separate and distinct from routine legal matters. Management does not believe that similar litigation will likely recur within the next two years, and there
have been no similar matters within the prior two years. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, they have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results and are excluded from non-GAAP results.
Reporting compliance We incurred certain compliance costs in 2023 to remediate a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting. These third-party costs are not part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Additionally, the nature of these amounts is such that they are not reasonably likely to recur within two years, nor were similar costs incurred within the prior two years of the underlying event. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, they have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results and are excluded from non-GAAP results.
Foreign Operations
We currently serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 52 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 some of our reported U.S. dollar revenues and operating profit and may continue through the end of 2024.
At September 30, 2024, Argentina's economy remains highly inflationary for accounting purposes. At September 30, 2024, we had net monetary assets denominated in Argentine pesos of $96.9 million (including cash of $83.0 million) and net nonmonetary assets of $150.6 million (including $99.8 million of goodwill, $1.3 million in equity securities denominated in Argentine pesos and $23.5 million in debt 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 conversions or conversion losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023.
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 September 30, 2024, the notional value of our short term outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $1,001 million, with average contract maturities of approximately one month. These short term foreign currency forward and swap contracts primarily offset exposures in the euro, the British pound and the Mexican peso and are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded immediately in earnings. At September 30, 2024, the fair value of our short term foreign currency contracts was a net liability of approximately $13.2 million, of which $2.6 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $15.8 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of these foreign currency contracts was a net liability of approximately $1.1 million, of which $8.7 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $9.8 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Cash flows related to economic hedges for acquisition-related intercompany balances are reported as investing activities. All other cash flows for economic hedges are reported as operating activities.
Amounts under these contracts were recognized in other operating income (expense) as follows:

| Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |

| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
(a)Derivative instrument losses in the three months ended September 30, 2024, were higher than in the three months ended September 30, 2023, due primarily to the impact of forward currency contracts to hedge exposures to the Mexican peso.
We also had a long term cross currency swap contract to hedge exposure in Brazilian real, which was designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedge were initially recorded in the gains (losses) on cash flow hedges component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We immediately reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings an amount to offset the remeasurement recognized in earnings associated with the respective intercompany loan. Additionally, we reclassified amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense amounts that were associated with the interest rate differential between a U.S. dollar denominated intercompany loan and a Brazilian real denominated intercompany loan.
In the first nine months of 2023, amounts under this contract were recognized in other operating income (expense) to offset transaction gains or losses and in interest expense as follows:

In the second quarter of 2021, we entered into ten cross currency swaps to hedge a portion of our net investments in certain of our subsidiaries with euro functional currencies. We elected to use the spot method to assess effectiveness for these derivatives that are designated as net investment hedges. Accordingly, changes in fair value attributable to changes in the undiscounted spot rates are recorded in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will remain there until the hedged net investments are sold or substantially liquidated. We have elected to exclude the spot-forward difference from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are amortizing this amount separately on a straight-line basis over the term of these cross currency swaps.
In the third quarter of 2022, we terminated these cross currency swap contracts and received $67 million in cash as settlement. We subsequently entered into a total of nine cross currency swaps with a total notional value of $400 million to hedge a portion of our net investment in certain of our subsidiaries with euro functional currencies. Swaps with a total notional value of $215 million will terminate in May 2026 and swaps with a total notional value of $185 million will terminate in April 2031. We have designated these swaps as net investment hedges for accounting purposes.
In the third quarter of 2023, we entered into a zero cost foreign exchange collar contract with a $215 million notional amount and a May 2026 expiration date. We sold a put option with a lower strike price and bought a call option with a higher strike price to manage the foreign exchange risk related to the final settlement of the $215 million notional cross currency swaps. Upon the execution of the zero cost foreign exchange collar contract, we de-designated the existing $215 million notional cross currency swaps and re-designated the combined $215 million notional cross currency swaps and zero cost collar into a new hedging instrument. At re-designation, the existing $215 million notional cross currency swaps had a non-zero fair value representing an off-market component of the participating cross currency swaps. The off-market value is being ratably amortized into earnings through May 2026. The combined cross currency swaps and zero cost collar has been designated as a net investment hedge for accounting purposes.
At September 30, 2024, the notional value of these cross currency swap contracts was $400 million with a remaining weighted average maturity of 1.5 years for the cross currency swaps maturing in May 2026 and a remaining weighted average maturity of 5.7 years for the cross currency swaps maturing in April 2031. At September 30, 2024, the fair value of these currency swaps was a net liability of $38.2 million, of which $5.6 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $43.8 million was included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of these currency swaps was a net liability of $34.6 million of which $5.6 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $40.2 million was included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At September 30, 2024, the fair value of the zero cost collar was an asset of $0.4 million, which was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of the zero cost collar was an asset of $0.1 million, which was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, we entered into a foreign exchange forward swap contract to hedge a portion of our net investments in certain of our subsidiaries with Hong Kong dollar functional currencies. As the contract is designated as a net investment hedge for accounting purposes, we will use the spot method to assess effectiveness of this derivative contract. We will record changes in fair value attributable to changes in the Hong Kong dollar undiscounted spot rates in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) with amounts remaining in accumulated comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged net investments are sold or substantially liquidated. We have elected to exclude the spot-forward difference from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are amortizing this amount separately on a straight-line basis over the term of the foreign exchange forward swap contract.
At September 30, 2024, the notional value of this foreign exchange forward swap contract was $55 million with a remaining weighted average maturity of 0.1 years. At September 30, 2024, the fair value of this foreign exchange forward swap was an asset of $0.1 million, which was included in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of this foreign exchange forward swap was an asset of $0.1 million, which was included in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Cash flows related to the amortization of the off-market component of net investment hedges are reported in investing activities. Cash flows from the termination and final settlement of net investment hedges are reported in investing activities. All other cash flow from net investment hedges are reported as operating activities
The effect of the amortization of the spot-forward difference on the net investment hedges cross currency swaps is included in interest expense as follows:

The decrease in the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the three months ended September 30, 2024, in comparison to the three months ended September 30, 2023, is primarily attributable to lower third quarter 2024 operating results reported by certain subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned. The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, in comparison to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, is primarily attributable to lower 2024 operating results reported by certain subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned.
Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations to GAAP Measures
Non-GAAP measures described below and included in this filing are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. The purpose of the disclosure of these non-GAAP measures 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.
These 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 such measures allow investors to evaluate our performance using the same metrics that our management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. The reconciliations in the tables below include adjustments that we do not consider reflective of our operating performance as they result from events and circumstances that are not a part of our core business. Additionally, certain non-GAAP results, including non-GAAP operating profit and free cash flow before dividends, are utilized as performance measures in certain management incentive compensation plans.
Non-GAAP results should not be considered as an alternative to results determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with their GAAP counterparts. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.
The items excluded from non-GAAP measures are considered by us to be nonrecurring, infrequent or unusual costs and gains as well as other items not considered part of our operations and revenue generating activities. Non-recurring and infrequent items are items that are not reasonably expected to recur in the following two years.
In addition to the rationale described above, we believe the following non-GAAP metrics are helpful to investors in assessing results of operations consistent with how our management evaluates performance:
•Non-GAAP operating profit and Non-GAAP operating profit margin: Non-GAAP operating profit equals GAAP operating profit excluding Other Items not Allocated to Segments. Non-GAAP operating margin equals non-GAAP operating profit divided by revenues.
•Non-GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to Brink's: This measure equals GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to Brink's excluding Other Items not Allocated to Segments as well as certain retirement plan expenses/gains and unusual adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances.
•Earnings Before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA is calculated by starting with net income attributable to Brink's and adding back the amounts for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA equals EBITDA excluding the applicable impacts of Other Items not Allocated to Segments as well as certain retirement plan expenses/gains, unusual adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances, income tax rate adjustments, share-based compensation and marketable securities (gain) loss.
•Non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to Brink's common shareholders: This measure equals non-GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to Brink's divided by diluted shares.
•Organic change and organic growth: Organic change represents the change in revenues or operating profit between the current and prior period excluding the effect of acquisitions and dispositions for one year after the transaction and changes in currency exchange rates. Organic growth is the percentage change of organic growth versus the prior year amount.
•Impact of Acquisitions/ Dispositions: This measure represents the impact of acquisitions or dispositions without a full year of reported results in either comparable period.
•Currency Effect: This measure consists of the effects of Argentina devaluations under highly inflationary accounting and the sum of monthly currency changes. Monthly currency changes represent the accumulation throughout the year of the impact on current period results of changes in foreign currency rates from the prior year period.
•Non-GAAP pre-tax income, Non-GAAP income tax and Non-GAAP effective income tax rate: Non-GAAP pre-tax income and non-GAAP income tax equal their GAAP counterparts excluding the applicable impacts of Other Items not Allocated to Segments as well as certain retirement plan expenses/gains and unusual adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances. Non-GAAP effective income tax rate equals non-GAAP income tax divided by non-GAAP pre-tax income.
In addition to the rationale described above, we believe the following non-GAAP metrics are helpful in assessing cash flow and financial leverage consistent with how our management evaluates performance:
•Free Cash Flow before Dividends: This non-GAAP measure reflects Management’s calculation of cash flows that are available for capital or investing activities such as paying dividends, share repurchases, debt, acquisitions and other investments. The measure is calculated as net cash flows from operating activities, adjusted to exclude certain operating activities related to cash that is not available for corporate purposes, including the impact of cash flows from restricted cash held for customers, as well as cash received and processed in certain of our secure cash management services operations. The resulting amount is further adjusted to include the impact of cash flows related to equipment used to operate our business, including capital expenditures, cash proceeds from sale of property and equipment, as well as proceeds from lessor debt financing. The latter item, which is part of cash flows from financing activities and relates to the subsequent financings of certain capital expenditures, was added to our calculation in the second quarter of 2024 as we believe such cash flows are similar in nature to transactions reported in Investing Activities, which have historically been included in our calculation. Prior amounts were recast to reflect this change.
•Net Debt: Net Debt equals total debt less cash and cash equivalents available for general corporate purposes. We exclude from cash and cash equivalents amounts held by our cash management services operations, as such amounts are not considered available for general corporate purposes. See page 59 for more details.
Reconciliations of Non-GAAP to GAAP Measures
Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures either in the tables below or in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section. Amounts reported for prior periods have been updated in this report to present information consistently for all periods presented. Most of the reconciling adjustments are described in Other Items Not Allocated to Segments above on pages 42–44. Additional reconciling items include the following:
Retirement plans We incur costs, such as interest expense and amortization of actuarial gains and losses, associated with certain retirement plans that have been frozen to new entrants. Furthermore, we also incur non-cash settlement charges and curtailment gains related to all of our retirement plans. These costs and gains are not considered to be part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, they are excluded from non-GAAP results.
Valuation allowance on tax credits As a result of new foreign tax credit regulations, we released a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and recorded a significant income tax credit in 2022. We then re-established some of the valuation allowance in 2023 primarily related to adjustments to the previous foreign tax credit changes, resulting in a significant incremental income tax expense. This gain and subsequent charge both related to the same underlying event, a major tax law change. A similar event is not reasonably likely to recur within two years, nor did a similar event occur within the prior two years. Also, the gain and charge are not considered to be part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, they are excluded from non-GAAP results.
Change in restricted cash held for customers Restricted cash held for customers is not available for general corporate purposes such as payroll, vendor invoice payments, debt repayment, or capital expenditures. Because the cash is not available to support the Company's operations and revenue generating activities, management excludes the changes in the restricted cash held for customers balance when assessing cash flows from operations. We believe that the exclusion of the change in restricted cash held for customers from our non-GAAP operating cash flows measure is helpful to users of the financial statements as it presents this financial measure consistent with how management assesses this liquidity measure.
Change in certain customer obligations The 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 is thus not available for general corporate purposes. Because the cash is not available to support our operations and revenue generating activities, management excludes the changes in this specific cash balance when assessing cash flows from operations. We believe that the exclusion of the change in this cash balance from our non-GAAP operating cash flows measure is helpful to the users of our financial statements as it presents this financial measure consistent with how our management assesses this liquidity measure.
Amounts held by cash management services operations As described above, cash held in certain of our secure cash management services operations is not available to support our operations and revenue generating activities. Therefore, management excludes this specific cash balance when assessing our liquidity and capital resources, and in our computation of Net Debt. We believe that the exclusion of this cash balance from our non-GAAP Net Debt measure is helpful to the users of our financial statements as it presents this financial measure consistent with how our management assesses this liquidity measure.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Cash flows from operating activities decreased $236.8 million in the first nine months of 2024 as compared to the first nine months of 2023. Cash used for investing activities increased by $33.5 million in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the first nine months of 2023. We financed our liquidity needs in the first nine months of 2024 with existing cash from operations and cash flows from long term debt.

Cash flows from operating activities - GAAP
Cash flows from operating activities decreased $236.8 million in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was attributed to restricted cash held for customers (restricted cash held for customers decreased by $100.6 million in 2024 compared to a decrease of $44.9 million in 2023), changes in customer obligations related to certain of our secure cash management services operations (certain customer obligations decreased by $69.7 million in 2024 compared to a decrease of $5.5 million in 2023), changes in working capital excluding taxes and interest (working capital decreased by $98.2 million in 2024 compared to a decrease of $51.6 million in 2023), higher amounts paid for interest (we had $172.9 million in cash payments for interest in 2024 as compared to $161.2 million in 2023), and higher amounts paid for income taxes (we had $96.3 million in cash payments for taxes in 2024 as compared to $74.5 million in 2023), partially offset by higher operating profit.
Free cash flow before dividends - non-GAAP
Free cash flow before dividends decreased $137.8 million in the first nine months of 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was attributed to changes in working capital, higher amounts paid for interest and incomes taxes, and higher amounts paid for capital expenditures (we had $159.9 million in capital expenditures in 2024 compared to $133.1 million in 2023), partially offset by higher operating profit and higher proceeds received from sale of property and equipment (we received $12.0 million in proceeds in 2024 as compared to $5.7 million in 2023).

Cash used by investing activities increased by $33.5 million in the first nine months of 2024 versus the first nine months of 2023. The increase was primarily due to increases in cash paid for capital expenditures and increases in cash paid for acquisitions in Europe and North America in 2024, partially offset by the net change in loans held for investment (we had $5.4 million in cash received in 2024 compared to $12.3 million in cash paid in 2023), as discussed in Note 13.

The change was driven primarily by an increase in net borrowings (as discussed in Note 9) compared to the prior year nine month period, partially offset by increased cash used to repurchase shares of common stock (we used $125.3 million to repurchase shares in 2024 as compared to $105.7 million in 2023).
Dividends
We paid dividends to Brink’s shareholders of $0.7050 per share or $31.3 million in the first nine months of 2024 compared to $0.6400 per share or $29.7 million in the first nine months of 2023. Future dividends are dependent on our earnings, financial condition, shareholders’ equity levels, our cash flow and business requirements, as determined by the Board of Directors.

(a)Net Debt is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. See page 50 for further information on this non-GAAP measure, and see page 51 for a description of the adjustment. Included within Net Debt is net cash from our Argentina operations of $83 million at September 30, 2024 and $63 million at December 31, 2023 (see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of currency controls in Argentina).
Debt and Net Debt as of September 30, 2024 increased versus the prior year end to provide funding for general corporate purposes 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 operating liquidity needs are typically financed by cash from operations, short-term borrowings 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 September 30, 2024, $499 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 and our ability to access capital from financial markets, we believe that we will be able to meet our liquidity needs for the next 12 months and thereafter the foreseeable future.
Limitations on dividends from foreign subsidiaries. A significant portion of our operations are outside the U.S. which may make it difficult to or costly to repatriate additional 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, 2023, 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 or material increases in inflation 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, or if other economic conditions change, such as material increases in inflation, from those currently prevailing or from those now anticipated, such as higher inflation 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 November 2, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a $500 million share repurchase program that expires on December 31, 2025 (the "2023 Repurchase Program").
Under the 2023 Share 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.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased a total of 1,291,224 shares of our common stock for an aggregate of $125.3 million and an average price of $97.04 per share. These shares were retired upon repurchase. At September 30, 2024, $375 million remained available under the 2023 Repurchase Program.
In October 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a $250 million share repurchase program (the "2021 Repurchase Program"). Under the 2021 Repurchase Program, in 2023, we repurchased a total of 2,297,955 shares of our common stock for an aggregate of $169.9 million and an average price of $73.92 per share. These shares were retired upon repurchase. The 2021 Repurchase Program expired on December 31, 2023 with approximately $28 million remaining available.

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, 2023. 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, 2024.
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 benefits 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 2023 or the first nine months of 2024. There are approximately 10,500 beneficiaries in the plan.
Based on our current assumptions, we do not expect to make contributions until 2027.
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 2,400 beneficiaries in the UMWA plans as of December 31, 2023. The Company does not expect to make additional contributions to these plans until 2036, 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, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 52 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024.
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 September 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
