Insights

The Brink's Company's announcement of its financial results for the full year 2023 indicates a solid performance, with a 7% increase in revenue and 9% organic growth. The notable 21% growth in AMS and DRS segments is particularly impressive, as these areas are likely to become increasingly relevant in the digital economy. The reduction of leverage to 2.9x net debt to adjusted EBITDA is within the target range, which is a positive sign for investors concerned with financial stability and debt management.

Furthermore, the company's expectation of mid-single-digit revenue growth and strong EBITDA margin expansion in 2024 suggests confidence in the ongoing business strategy. The share repurchase activity, with a new $500 million program authorized, reflects a shareholder-friendly capital allocation policy, potentially offering support to the stock price and signaling management's belief in the company's intrinsic value.

The reported growth in the AMS and DRS segments aligns with broader industry trends towards digitalization and automation within cash management and retail solutions. The company's focus on these high-margin services is a strategic move to capture a larger share of the growing market. The double-digit organic growth in these segments for eight consecutive quarters highlights the strong demand for Brink's offerings in these areas.

Moreover, the company's efforts to expand its adjusted EBITDA margins through productivity initiatives and a higher-margin revenue mix are indicative of an industry-wide push for improved operational efficiency. The free cash flow conversion rate improvement from adjusted EBITDA up to 45% is a testament to the company's enhanced cash-generating ability, which is crucial for sustaining growth and shareholder returns.

The company's performance must be contextualized within the broader economic environment, which has been characterized by geopolitical tensions and inflationary pressures. Despite these challenges, Brink's has managed to achieve growth and improve its financial health. The reduction in leverage is particularly important in a potentially rising interest rate environment, as it reduces the risk of financial distress.

The company's guidance for 2024, assuming the continuation of current economic trends, suggests a cautious but optimistic outlook. The ability to navigate economic uncertainty while still projecting growth is indicative of robust business fundamentals and effective management strategy. The focus on productivity and operational efficiency is likely to be a key factor in maintaining profitability in the face of economic headwinds.

RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Brink’s Company (NYSE:BCO), a leading global provider of cash and valuables management, digital retail solutions (DRS), and ATM managed services (AMS), today announced fourth-quarter and full-year 2023 results.

Mark Eubanks, president and CEO, said: “We took a decisive step forward in the transformation of our business during 2023. I'm proud of the team's ability to drive growth in higher-margin AMS and DRS customer offerings while expanding profit margins. Combined with our disciplined capital allocation policy and record free cash flow in the year, we reduced leverage into our targeted range as we committed to investors. Fourth quarter growth was highlighted by the eighth consecutive quarter of double-digit organic growth in AMS and DRS while operating profits were impacted by geopolitical and economic uncertainty in certain markets, and slower than expected growth in high margin services in North America. Looking into 2024, we expect to drive mid-single digit revenue growth, with continued double-digit organic growth in AMS and DRS. Adjusted EBITDA margins are expected to expand through productivity initiatives, improved growth and profitability in North America, and higher-margin revenue mix.

“I am encouraged by the progress made in 2023 to improve consistency in our business model through the Brink's Business System. With continued top-line momentum, a more efficient operational foundation, reduced leverage levels and a disciplined capital allocation framework, I remain certain we are taking the right steps to create value for our shareholders in the years to come.”

Fourth-quarter and full-year results are summarized in the following tables:

2024 Guidance (Unaudited)
(In millions, except for percentages and per share amounts)

The 2024 Non-GAAP outlook amounts cannot be reconciled to GAAP without unreasonable effort, as we are unable to accurately forecast certain amounts that are necessary for reconciliation, including the impact of highly inflationary accounting on our Argentina operations in 2024 or other potential Non-GAAP adjusting items for which the timing and amounts are currently under review, such as future restructuring actions and the impact of possible future acquisitions. We are also unable to forecast changes in cash held for customer obligations or proceeds from the sale of property, equipment and investments in 2024. The 2024 Non-GAAP outlook reflects management's current assumptions regarding variables that are difficult to accurately forecast, including those discussed in the Risk Factors set forth in the Company's filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The 2024 outlook assumes the continuation of current economic trends.

 2024 Non-GAAP
Outlook
 
Revenues$5,075 - 5,225 
    
Adjusted EBITDA$935 - 985 
    
Adjusted EBITDA margin 18.4% - 18.9% 
    
Free cash flow before dividends$415 - 465 
    
EPS from continuing operations attributable to Brink's$7.30 - 8.00 

Share Repurchase Activity
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 the fourth-quarter of 2023, we repurchased a total of 844,382 shares of common stock for an aggregate of $64.2 million and an average price of $75.98 per share. In the full year 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.

In November 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a $500 million share repurchase program that expires on December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2023, no shares had been purchased under the program and the company had $500 million of remaining share repurchase authority.

(a) Non-GAAP amounts include the impact of prior year comparable period results for acquired and disposed businesses. GAAP results also include the impact of acquisition-related intangible amortization, restructuring and other charges, and disposition related gains/losses.
(b) The amounts in the “Currency” column consist 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 from changes in foreign currency rates from the prior year period.
(c) Segment revenues equal our total reported non-GAAP revenues.
(d) Corporate expenses are not allocated to segment results. Corporate expenses include salaries and other costs to manage the global business and to perform activities required of public companies.
(e) See pages 10-12 for more information.
(f) Attributable to Brink's. Because we reported a loss from continuing operations on a GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2023, GAAP EPS was calculated using basic shares. However, as we reported income from continuing operations on a non-GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2023, non-GAAP EPS was calculated using diluted shares.
(g) Non-GAAP results are reconciled to applicable GAAP results on pages 13-17.

Other Items Not Allocated To Segments (Unaudited)
(In millions)

Brink’s measures its segment results before income and expenses for corporate activities and for certain other items. See below for a summary of the other items not allocated to segments.

Reorganization and Restructuring
2022 Global Restructuring Plan
In the first quarter of 2023, management completed the review and approval of the previously announced restructuring plan across our global business operations. The actions were taken to enable growth, reduce costs and related infrastructure, and to mitigate the potential impact of external economic conditions. In total, we have recognized $33.2 million in charges under this program, including $11.0 million in 2023. We expect total expenses from this program to be between $38 million and $42 million. When completed, the current restructuring actions are expected to reduce our workforce by 3,200 to 3,400 positions and result in annualized cost savings of approximately $60 million.

Other Restructurings
Management periodically implements restructuring actions in targeted sections of our business. As a result of these actions, we recognized $16.6 million in net costs in 2022, primarily severance costs. We recognized $6.6 million in net costs in 2023. The majority of the costs in both the 2023 and 2022 periods result from the exit of a line of business in a specific geography with most of the remaining costs due to management initiatives to address the COVID-19 pandemic.

Due to the unique circumstances around these charges, these management-directed items have not been allocated to segment results and are excluded from non-GAAP results.

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

2023 Acquisitions and Dispositions

  • Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $57.8 million in 2023.
  • We derecognized a contingent consideration liability related to the NoteMachine business acquisition and recognized a gain of $4.8 million. We also derecognized a contingent consideration liability related to the Touchpoint 21 acquisition and recognized a gain of $1.4 million.
  • We recognized $4.9 million in charges in Argentina in 2023 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.
  • Net charges of $3.4 million were incurred for post-acquisition adjustments to indemnification assets related to previous business acquisitions.
  • We incurred $2.2 million in integration costs, primarily related to PAI, in 2023.
  • Transaction costs related to business acquisitions were $4.2 million in 2023.
  • We recognized a $2.0 million loss on the disposition of Russia-based operations in 2023.
  • Compensation expense related to the retention of key PAI employees was $1.6 million in 2023.

2022 Acquisitions and Dispositions

  • Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $52.0 million in 2022.
  • We recognized $12.5 million in charges in Argentina in 2022 for expected payments to union workers of the Maco businesses.
  • Net charges of $7.8 million were incurred for post-acquisition adjustments to indemnification assets related to previous business acquisitions.
  • We incurred $4.8 million in integration costs, primarily related to PAI and G4S, in 2022.
  • Transaction costs related to business acquisitions were $5.6 million in 2022.
  • Restructuring costs related to acquisitions were $0.2 million in 2022.
  • Compensation expense related to the retention of key PAI employees was $3.5 million in 2022.

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 December 2023, the administration of the newly inaugurated President of Argentina allowed the peso to devalue by more than 50%. In total, in 2023, the Argentine peso declined approximately 79%. In 2023, we recognized $86.8 million in pretax charges related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $79.1 million. In 2022, we recognized $41.7 million in pretax charges related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $37.6 million. These amounts 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 have incurred $5.5 million of expense in 2023. The transformation costs primarily include third party professional services and project management charges and are excluded from segment and non-GAAP results.

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 ensuing litigation, Brink’s recognized an $8.0 million charge. Due to the unusual nature of the contingency, we have excluded this charge from segment and non-GAAP results.

Change in allowance estimate In the first quarter of 2022, we refined our global methodology of estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts. Our previous method to estimate currently expected credit losses in receivables (the allowance) was weighted significantly to a review of historical loss rates and specific identification of higher risk customer accounts. It also considered current and expected economic conditions in determining an appropriate allowance. As many of our regions begin to recover from the pandemic, we have re-assessed those earlier assumptions and estimates. Our updated method now also includes an estimated allowance for accounts receivable significantly past due in order to adjust for at-risk receivables not captured in our previous method. As part of the analysis under the updated estimation methodology, we noted an increase in accounts receivable significantly past due, particularly in the U.S., and we recorded an additional allowance of $15.6 million in 2022. There was no impact in 2023. Due to the fact that management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance, we have excluded this charge from segment and non-GAAP results.

Ship loss matter In 2015, Brink’s placed cargo containing customer valuables on a ship which suffered damages and losses. Brink’s cargo did not suffer any damage. The ship owner declared a general average claim to recover losses to the ship and cargo from customers with undamaged cargo, including Brink’s, based on the pro rata value of ship cargo. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we recognized a $4.9 million charge for our estimate of the probable loss. Due to the unusual nature of the contingency and the fact that management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance, we have excluded this charge from segment and non-GAAP results.

Chile antitrust matter In October 2021, the Chilean antitrust agency filed a complaint 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. Based on available information to date, we recorded a charge of $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2021 in connection with this matter. In 2022, we recognized an additional $1.4 million adjustment to our estimated loss as a result of a change in currency rates. In 2023, we recognized an additional $0.5 million adjustment to our estimated loss as a result of a change in currency rates. Due to its special nature, this charge has not been allocated to segment results and is excluded from non-GAAP results.

Reporting compliance Certain compliance costs (primarily third party expenses) are excluded from segment and non-GAAP results. In 2023, we incurred $0.8 million in costs related to remediation of the material weakness. We did not incur any such costs in 2022.

Non-GAAP Results Reconciled to GAAP (Unaudited)
(In millions, except for percentages and per share amounts)

Non-GAAP results described in this press release are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The purpose of the Non-GAAP results is to report financial information from the primary operations of our business by excluding the effects of certain income and expenses that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of our operations. The specific items excluded have not been allocated to segments, are described on pages 11 and 12 and in more detail in our Form 10-Q, and are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures below. In addition, we refer to non-GAAP constant currency amounts, which represent current period results and forecasts at prior period exchange rates.

Non-GAAP results adjust the quarterly Non-GAAP tax rates so that the Non-GAAP tax rate in each of the quarters is equal to the full-year estimated Non-GAAP tax rate. The full-year Non-GAAP tax rate in both years excludes certain pretax and income tax amounts. Amounts reported for prior periods have been updated in this report to present information consistently for all periods presented.

The 2024 Non-GAAP outlook amounts for EPS from continuing operations, free cash flow before dividends and Adjusted EBITDA cannot be reconciled to GAAP without unreasonable effort. We cannot reconcile these amounts to GAAP because we are unable to accurately forecast the impact of highly inflationary accounting on our Argentina operations or other potential Non-GAAP adjusting items for which the timing and amounts are currently under review, such as future restructuring actions and the impact of possible future acquisitions. We are also unable to forecast changes in cash held for customer obligations or proceeds from the sale of property, equipment and investments in 2024. The impact of highly inflationary accounting and other potential Non-GAAP adjusting items could be significant to our GAAP results.

The Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide investors with a supplemental comparison of our operating results and trends for the periods presented. Our management believes these measures are also useful to investors as 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. We do not consider these items to be reflective of our operating performance as they result from events and circumstances that are not a part of our core business. Additionally, non-GAAP results are utilized as performance measures in certain management incentive compensation plans. Non-GAAP results should not be considered as an alternative to revenue, income or earnings per share amounts determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with their GAAP counterparts. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to Non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.

(a) See “Other Items Not Allocated To Segments” on pages 10-12 for details. We do not consider these items to be reflective of our operating performance as they result from events and circumstances that are not a part of our core business.
(b) Non-GAAP income from continuing operations and non-GAAP EPS have been adjusted to reflect an effective income tax rate in each interim period equal to the full-year non-GAAP effective income tax rate. The full-year non-GAAP effective tax rate was 24.8% for 2023 and was 30.3% for 2022.
(c) Our U.S. retirement plans are frozen and costs related to these plans are excluded from non-GAAP results. Certain non-U.S. operations also have retirement plans. Settlement charges and curtailment gains related to these non-U.S. plans and costs related to our frozen non-U.S. retirement plans are also excluded from non-GAAP results.
(d) Due to reorganization and restructuring activities, there was a $0.9 million non-GAAP adjustment to share-based compensation in the first quarter of 2023. There is no difference between GAAP and non-GAAP share-based compensation amounts for the periods presented.
(e) Due to the impact of Argentina highly inflationary accounting, there was a $0.6 million non-GAAP adjustment for a loss in the first quarter of 2022, a $0.9 million non-GAAP adjustment for a loss in the second quarter of 2022, a $0.5 million non-GAAP adjustment for a loss in the third quarter of 2022, a $2.0 million non-GAAP adjustment for a loss in the fourth quarter of 2022, a $0.3 million non-GAAP adjustment for a loss in the first quarter of 2023, a $0.3 million non-GAAP adjustment for a loss in the second quarter of 2023, a $22.7 million non-GAAP adjustment for a loss in the third quarter of 2023, and a $31.9 million non-GAAP adjustment for a loss in the fourth quarter of 2023.
(f) In 2023, we recorded a portion of our valuation allowance on certain U.S. deferred tax assets primarily related to foreign tax credit carryforward attributes. The valuation allowance increase was due to new foreign tax credit Notices published by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in 2023, which provided taxpayers relief from the 2022 foreign tax credit regulations until additional guidance is issued and effective date of such guidance is provided. In 2022, we released a portion of our valuation allowance on certain U.S. deferred tax assets primarily due to new foreign tax credit regulations published by the U.S. Treasury in January 2022.
(g) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as non-GAAP income from continuing operations excluding the impact of non-GAAP interest expense, non-GAAP income tax provision, non-GAAP depreciation and amortization, non-GAAP share-based compensation and non-GAAP marketable securities (gain) loss.

(a)   To adjust for the change in the balance of customer obligations related to cash received and processed in certain of our secure Cash Management Services operations. The title to this cash transfers to us for a short period of time. The cash is generally credited to customers’ accounts the following day and we do not consider it as available for general corporate purposes in the management of our liquidity and capital resources.

Free cash flow before dividends is a supplemental financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. The purpose of this non-GAAP measure is to report financial information excluding the change in restricted cash held for customers, the impact of cash received and processed in certain of our secure cash management services operations, capital expenditures, and to include proceeds from the sale of property, equipment and investments. We believe this measure is helpful in assessing cash flows from operations, enables period-to-period comparability and is useful in predicting future cash flows. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated statements of cash flows.
