THE BRINK’S COMPANY REPORTS
HIGHER SECOND-QUARTER EARNINGS
RICHMOND, Va., July 31, 2008 – The Brink’s Company (NYSE: BCO), a global leader in security-related services, reported second-quarter income from continuing operations of $49 million or $1.04 per share, up from $33 million or 70 cents per share in last year’s second quarter. The company reported higher results at both of its operating units – Brink’s, Incorporated (“Brink’s”) and Brink’s Home Security (“BHS”). Earnings were also helped by a lower effective tax rate.
Second-quarter revenue was $932 million, up 20% (11% on a constant currency basis) from $779 million in the second quarter of 2007. Operating profit rose 26% (20% on a constant currency basis) to $75 million, up from $59 million last year, due mainly to profit growth in Brink’s Latin American and European operations, which more than offset lower profits in Brink’s North America. Profits at BHS improved due to higher average monitoring rates and continued growth in the subscriber base. BHS is expected to be spun off as an independent publicly traded company in the fourth quarter.
Michael T. Dan, chairman, president and chief executive officer of The Brink’s Company, said: “We are pleased with second-quarter results. Despite economic headwinds, the diversity of our global operations enabled us to deliver solid earnings growth. Revenues were up in all regions, even after excluding the effect of changes in currency exchange rates. Profit growth at Brink’s, Incorporated was driven by our international operations. Results were especially strong in Latin America, where profits were boosted by the currency conversion project in Venezuela and improved operating performance in Brazil and Chile. Results in Europe also improved. The positive impact from international operations was partially offset by disappointing results in North America, where we are facing higher
costs in a challenging economic environment. The year-to-date operating profit margin at Brink’s was 8.5%. Our full-year goal, which is to deliver organic revenue growth in the high single-digit percentage range with an operating margin of approximately 9%, has become more challenging but remains achievable. The global diversity of our operations, our investments in technology and value-added services, and successful execution of our cost reduction efforts should drive sustainable revenue and profit growth. However, if the current weakness in the U.S. economy persists or spreads further into global markets, improving margins will become a greater challenge.”
“Brink’s Home Security once again achieved solid growth in revenue, operating profit, monthly recurring revenue and subscribers. Despite the weak housing market, we continue to expect BHS to deliver 10% or better annual growth in revenue and operating profit while growing the subscriber base in the high single-digit percentage range. We remain on track and expect to complete the spin-off of BHS in the fourth quarter of this year.”
Business Unit Performance: Second-Quarter 2008 Versus 2007
Brink’s, Incorporated (“Brink’s”)
Brink’s, the company’s secure transportation and cash management unit, had second-quarter revenue of $798 million, up 21% (11% on a constant currency basis) from $659 million in the year-ago quarter. Operating profit rose 23% (14% on a constant currency basis) to $53 million, up from $43 million last year. The operating profit margin was 6.6% versus 6.5% last year. The increase in operating profit was due primarily to solid growth in international operations.
Capital expenditures during the quarter totaled $39 million, bringing year-to-date expenditures to $70 million. Full-year capital spending at Brink’s is expected to be between $165 million and $175 million.
Brink’s International
Second-quarter revenue from international operations was $563 million, up 28% (14% on a constant currency basis) from $440 million in 2007, reflecting increases in all regions. Operating profit rose 48% (36% on a constant currency basis) to $42 million, up from $28 million last year, due primarily to higher profits in Latin American and European operations. The operating profit margin for international operations was 7.4%, up from 6.4% in last year’s second quarter.
EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa): Second-quarter revenue for EMEA was $352 million, up 23% (6% on a constant currency basis) from $287 million in 2007. Operating profit increased due to improved performance throughout the region.
Latin America: Second-quarter revenue in Latin America increased 40% (30% on a constant currency basis) to $194 million, up from $138 million in 2007. Operating profit increased significantly over last year as continued profit growth in Venezuela was supplemented by higher profits in Brazil and Chile. Revenues from the currency conversion project in Venezuela, which totaled approximately $12 million in the second quarter and $47 million for the year-to-date period, are expected to decline in the third quarter as the project nears completion.
Asia-Pacific: Second-quarter revenue in Asia-Pacific rose 14% to $17 million versus $15 million last year. Operating profit declined due to lower results in Australia.
Brink’s North America
Second-quarter revenue in North America was $235 million, up 7% from $219 million last year. Operating profit was $11 million, down 26% from $15 million in the year-ago quarter. The operating profit margin for the quarter was 4.6%, down from 6.7% in last year’s second quarter. The profit decline was due to several factors including higher labor, fuel and legal settlement expenses. A portion of the additional labor costs were related to spending on IT and commercial resources, which should drive future revenue and profit growth.
Brink’s Home Security (“BHS”)
Second-quarter revenue at BHS rose 12% to $134 million, up from $119 million in 2007 due primarily to continued growth in the subscriber base and higher average monitoring rates. BHS ended the quarter with approximately 1.27 million subscribers, up 8% from the year-ago level. Monthly recurring revenue rose 12% to $39 million (see Non-GAAP Reconciliations for a reconciliation of monthly recurring revenue to reported revenue).
Operating profit was $36 million, up 15% from $31 million last year as higher profits from recurring services offset increased investment in new subscribers. The second-quarter operating profit margin was 26.5%, up from 25.8% in 2007. This year’s operating profit includes a $2.5 million benefit related to an accounting correction for deferred revenue and expenses. Last year’s results include $1.9 million of income from the settlement of insurance claims related to Hurricane Katrina.
BHS installed approximately 44,200 systems for new customers during the quarter versus approximately 45,200 installations in the year-ago quarter. The decline in installations reflects the effects of ongoing weakness in the housing market and the overall economy.
BHS had 22,300 disconnects during the quarter, down from 23,300 last year. The annualized disconnect rate was 7.1%, down from 8.0% in the year-ago quarter. Last year’s higher disconnect rate was due to technical adjustments to the subscriber count. The full-year disconnect rate in 2008 is expected to range between 6.5% and 7.0%.
Second-quarter capital expenditures at BHS totaled $44 million, bringing year-to-date expenditures to $90 million. Total capital spending at BHS in 2008 is expected to be between $185 million and $195 million.
Corporate Expenses
Total corporate expense in the second quarter was $13 million, up from $11 million in 2007. In the 2008 quarter, the company incurred approximately $3 million of expenses related to the tax-free spin-off of BHS. For the full year expenses related to strategic reviews, proxy matters and the spin-off are expected to range between $17 million and $20 million.
Costs Related to Former Operations Included in Continuing Operations
Second-quarter expenses related to former operations were $200,000, down from nearly $4 million in 2007 due primarily to lower pension and postretirement medical expenses.
Taxes
The effective income tax rate of 24.6% for the quarter was significantly lower than the year-ago rate of 36.7% due primarily to a release of valuation allowances in non-U.S. tax jurisdictions and higher income generated in non-U.S. jurisdictions that have lower tax rates. The effective tax rate for the full-year is expected to be between 31% and 34%.
Discontinued Operations
Second-quarter income from discontinued operations was $200,000 or one cent per share versus a loss of $5 million or 10 cents per share in the second quarter of 2007.
Net Income
Second-quarter net income, which includes results from continuing and discontinued operations, was $49 million or $1.05 per share versus $28 million or 60 cents per share in 2007.

| | | | | | | |
| June: | | | | | | |
| Monthly recurring revenues (“MRR”) (a) | | $ | 39.3 | | | | 35.1 | |
Amounts excluded from MRR: | | | | | | | | |
Amortization of deferred revenue (b) | | | 3.4 | | | | 3.1 | |

| Revenues (GAAP basis): | | | | | | | | |
June | | $ | 43.7 | | | | 40.4 | |
January – May | | | 218.0 | | | | 193.7 | |
January – June | | $ | 261.7 | | | | 234.1 | |
| (a) | MRR is calculated based on the number of subscribers at period end multiplied by the average fee per subscriber received in the last month of the period for contracted monitoring and maintenance services. |
| (b) | Includes amortization of deferred revenue related to active subscriber accounts as well as recognition of deferred revenue related to subscriber accounts that disconnect. |
| (c) | Revenues that are not pursuant to monthly contractual billings, including revenues from such sources as ad-hoc field service calls, product sales and installation fees not subject to deferral, terminated contract penalty billings for breached contracts, pass-through revenue (alarm permit fees, false alarm fines, etc.) and partial month revenues recognized from customers who disconnected during the last month of the period and are therefore not included in MRR. This amount is reduced for adjustments recorded against revenue (primarily customer goodwill credits and other billing adjustments), and for the amount included in MRR for new customers added during the last month of the period for those portions of the month for which revenues were not recognized for such customers. |
The company uses MRR, a non-GAAP measure, to evaluate performance. The company believes the presentation of MRR is useful to investors because the measure is widely used in the industry to assess the amount of recurring revenues from subscriber fees that a monitored security alarm business produces. This supplemental non-GAAP information should be reviewed in conjunction with the company’s consolidated statements of operations.

The supplemental Brink’s, Incorporated Organic Revenue Growth information presented above is non-GAAP financial information that management uses to evaluate results of existing operations without the effects of acquisitions, dispositions and currency exchange rates. The company believes that this information may be helpful to investors in understanding the performance of the company’s operations. The limitation of this measure is that the effects of acquisitions, dispositions and changes in values of foreign currencies cannot be completely separated from changes in prices (which include the effects of inflation) and volume of a unit’s base business. This supplemental non-GAAP information does not affect net income or any other reported amounts. This supplemental non-GAAP information should be reviewed in conjunction with the company’s consolidated statements of operations.
