THE BRINK’S COMPANY
and subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The Brink’s Company (along with its subsidiaries, “Brink’s” or “we”) has four geographic operating segments:
· | Latin America |
· | Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”) |
· | North America (U.S. and Canada) |
· | Asia Pacific |
Our unaudited interim 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 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 accruals) 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 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, 2013.
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 consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The most significant estimates are related to goodwill and other long-lived assets, pension and other retirement benefit obligations, legal contingencies, costs associated with restructuring activities, foreign currency translation and deferred tax assets.
The consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of Brink’s and all entities in which Brink’s has a controlling voting interest. Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency Translation
Our 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. Non-monetary assets and liabilities do not fluctuate with changes in local currency exchange rates to the dollar.
Venezuela
The economy in Venezuela has had significant inflation in the last several years. We consolidate our Venezuelan results using our accounting policy for subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies.
Since 2003, the Venezuelan government has controlled the exchange of local currency into other currencies, including the U.S. dollar. The Venezuelan government requires that currency exchanges be made at official rates or through auctions controlled by the government. Different exchange processes exist for different industries and purposes. The government does not approve all requests to convert bolivars to other currencies.
7
The government devalued the official rate for essential services in February 2013 from 5.3 to 6.3 bolivars to the dollar. Late in 2013, the government added another official exchange process, known as SICAD, for travel and certain other purposes, made available at government discretion. The published rate for this process in the first nine months of 2014 ranged from 10.0 to 12.0 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. Since the end of the first quarter of 2013, we have only been able to obtain dollars once using the SICAD process. We do not know whether we will be able to access the SICAD process again in the future.
On March 24, 2014, the government initiated another exchange mechanism known as SICAD II. Conversions under this mechanism are also subject to specific eligibility requirements. Transactions have been reported to be in a range of 49 to 52 bolivars to the dollar. Through September 30, 2014, we received approval to obtain $1.2 million (weighted average exchange rate of 51) through the SICAD II mechanism. We do not know whether we will be able to access dollars under this new process on a consistent basis in the future.
As a result of the restrictions on currency exchange, we have in the past been unable to obtain sufficient U.S. dollars to purchase certain imported supplies and fixed assets to fully operate our business in Venezuela. Consequently, we have occasionally purchased more expensive, bolivar-denominated supplies and fixed assets. Furthermore, there is a risk that the current SICAD II process will be discontinued or not accessible when needed in the future, which may prevent us from obtaining dollars to operate our Venezuelan operations.
Remeasurement rates during 2013. Through January 31, 2013, we used an official rate of 5.3 bolivars to the dollar to remeasure our bolivar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and to translate our revenue and expenses. After the devaluation in February 2013, we began to use the 6.3 official exchange rate to remeasure bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities and to translate our revenue and expenses. We recognized a $13.4 million net remeasurement loss in the first nine months of 2013 when we changed from the 5.3 to 6.3 exchange rate. The after-tax effect of these losses attributable to noncontrolling interests was $4.7 million in the first nine months of 2013.
Remeasurement rates during 2014. Through March 23, 2014, we used the official rate of 6.3 bolivars to the dollar to remeasure our bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and to translate our revenue and expenses. Effective March 24, 2014, we began to use the exchange rate published for the SICAD II process to remeasure bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities and to translate our revenue and expenses. We recognized a $121.6 million net remeasurement loss in the first nine months of 2014 when we changed from the official rate of 6.3 to SICAD II exchange rate, which has averaged approximately 50 since opening on March 24, 2014. Transaction gains and losses since March 31, 2014 have not been significant. At September 30, 2014, the rate was approximately 50. The after-tax effect of these losses attributable to noncontrolling interests was $39.7 million in the first nine months of 2014.
Remeasuring our Venezuelan results using the SICAD II rate has had the following effects on our reported results:
· | Brink’s Venezuela has become a less-significant component of Brink’s consolidated revenue and operating profit. |
· | Our investment in our Venezuelan operations on an equity-method basis has declined. Our investment was $125.3 million at December 31, 2013, and was $60.6 million at September 30, 2014. |
· | Our bolivar-denominated net monetary assets included in our consolidated balance sheets has declined. Our bolivar-denominated net monetary assets were $120.4 million (including $93.8 million of cash and cash equivalents) at December 31, 2013, and were $22.8 million (including $17.6 million of cash and cash equivalents) at September 30, 2014. |

Effective tax rate | 56.2 | % | 28.3 | % | (115.7 | ) % | 33.7 | % |
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first nine months of 2014 was negative and less than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the significant nondeductible expenses resulting from the currency devaluation in Venezuela in the first quarter. These nondeductible expenses caused our earnings before tax in the period to be negative.
Excluding the Venezuela nondeductible expenses, our effective tax rate on continuing operations in the first nine months is 44%. The rate is higher than 35% primarily due to third-quarter tax expense for a divestiture of an equity-method investment in Peru and the realization of tax benefit for only a portion of the restructuring charges of the Netherlands operations, combined with higher tax expense resulting from cross border payments, nondeductible expenses in Mexico and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax, partially offset by lower taxes resulting from the geographical mix of earnings.
2013 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first nine months of 2013 was lower than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate largely due to the geographical mix of earnings, mostly offset by higher taxes due to cross border payments, and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax.

We have investments in mutual funds designated as available-for-sale securities that are carried at fair value in the financial statements. For these investments, fair value was estimated based on quoted prices categorized as a Level 1 valuation. Valuation levels were defined in our 2013 Form 10-K.

(a) | On September 15, 2014, all outstanding DTA bonds were redeemed for an aggregate redemption price that included 100% of the $43.2 million outstanding principal amount of the bonds, plus all accrued unpaid interest through the redemption date. |
The fair value estimate of our obligation related to the Dominion Terminal Associates (“DTA”) bonds at December 31, 2013, was based on price information observed in a less-active market, which we categorized as a Level 2 valuation.
The fair value estimate of our unsecured private-placement notes is based on the present value of future cash flows, discounted at rates for similar instruments at the respective measurement dates, which we have categorized as a Level 3 valuation.
There were no transfers in or out of any of the levels of the valuation hierarchy in the first nine months of 2014.
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.
We have outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies. Our short term contracts have a weighted average maturity of approximately one month. In 2013, we entered into a cross-currency swap to hedge against the change in value of a long-term intercompany loan denominated in a currency other than the lending subsidiary’s functional currency. The fair values of these currency contracts, including the cross-currency swap, are determined using Level 2 valuation techniques and are based on the present value of net future cash payments and receipts. Accordingly, the fair values will fluctuate based on changes in market interest rates and the respective foreign currency to U.S. dollar exchange rate. The fair values of our outstanding short-term foreign currency contracts at September 30, 2014, were not significant. At September 30, 2014, the fair value of the cross-currency swap was an asset of $4.3 million. There were no transfers in or out of any of the levels of the valuation hierarchy in the first nine months of 2014.

Note 7 – Share-based compensation plans
We have share-based compensation plans to retain employees and non-employee directors and to more closely align their interests with those of our shareholders.
The 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) and the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) permit grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units, stock appreciation rights, stock options, as well as other share-based awards to eligible employees. The 2013 Plan also permits cash awards to eligible employees. The 2005 Plan was replaced by the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan effective in February 2013. No further grants of awards will be made under the 2005 Plan.
Directors are eligible for share-based awards through the Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”). To date, we have granted only deferred stock units under the Directors’ Plan. There are also outstanding stock options granted to directors under a prior plan, the Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Prior Directors’ Plan”).
At September 30, 2014, outstanding awards under these plans include performance share units (“PSUs”), market share units (“MSUs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), deferred stock units (“DSUs”) and stock options (“NQSOs”).
We have a compensation recoupment policy that requires the return of compensation to the Company under certain circumstances. In the second quarter of 2014, we concluded that employees and the Company did not have a mutual understanding of the terms and conditions of equity awards subject to the policy because the policy provided the Company with discretion as to how the policy could be applied. As a result, we concluded that there was not a grant date for the awards for accounting purposes as described in ASC Topic 718 Stock Compensation. We recognized $4.2 million of expense during the second quarter of 2014 ($3.4 million net of tax) for the cumulative effect of this accounting error. Prior periods were not materially affected. We modified our recoupment policy in July 2014 to establish a grant date for accounting purposes.

We acquired $5.9 million of armored vehicles and point of sale equipment under capital lease arrangements in the first nine months of 2014, as compared to $1.6 million of armored vehicles in the first nine months of 2013.
We were recently notified by a significant customer of our Brink’s Netherlands business that it expects to terminate its contract for our Cash Management Services as of June 30, 2015. As a result, we plan to restructure our Netherlands operations during 2015. Restructuring activities are expected to include closure of up to three leased facilities, disposing of certain armored trucks and other assets, and reducing the workforce by approximately 600 employees.
Revenues from this customer were €49 million ($63 million) during the first nine months of 2014 and are expected to be €30 million ($37 million using exchange rates as of the end of September) in the first half of 2015. Revenues from the customer are projected to be less than $5 million in 2016. Revenues, profits and losses, including the restructuring charges described below, of our Netherlands business are included in the EMEA operating segment.
Estimated severance and other employee benefit costs. We currently estimate severance and other employee benefit costs could range up to $16 million (using exchange rates as of the end of September). The actual amount will depend on the number of employees that receive severance and the calculation of each employee’s severance. We recognized our best estimate of severance and other employee benefit costs as a charge of $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2014. The loss is included in Cost of revenues in our consolidated statements of income (loss) for the quarter and will be adjusted in future quarters.
We expect to begin negotiating with employee representatives in November the key terms of individual employee severance payments. The key terms include the number of years of service, monthly wages per employee and a multiplying factor. We have estimated the number of employees that will be paid severance during 2015. Our estimate has been adjusted for a projected number of employees that will not receive severance payments because they will transfer to the successor business during 2015, terminate voluntarily prior to June 2015, or elect to receive early retirement benefits instead of severance payments.
Fixed asset impairment. We recognized an impairment charge of $5.1 million during the third quarter of 2014, which reduced the fixed assets owned by the Netherlands subsidiary from a net book value of $13.7 million to $8.6 million. The impairment charge is reported in Other operating income (expense) in our consolidated statements of income (loss). Fair value was determined by the market approach, which is a valuation technique that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, assuming the highest and best use for the asset.
Lease termination costs for branch facilities. We have not yet recognized any termination costs related to leases of facilities that we expect to close. These costs will be recognized during the period the leased facilities are substantially vacated. The contractual amount of lease termination costs projected to be owed if the facilities are closed during July 2015 is approximately $1 million.

Note 12 – Contingent matters
On June 19, 2008, a lawsuit captioned Del Valle Gurria S.C. v. Servicio Pan Americano de Protección, S.A. de C.V. was filed with the Twenty-third Civil Judge in the Federal District in Mexico (the “Court”) against Servicio Pan American de Proteccion, S.A. de C.V. (SERPAPROSA), the Mexico subsidiary that we acquired in November 2010. The plaintiff claims it is owed legal fees and corresponding value-added tax (VAT), interest and expenses related to its legal representation of SERPAPROSA in connection with tax audits conducted to the 1991, 1992 and 1994 fiscal years. On October 28, 2010, the Court issued a decision in favor of SERPAPROSA in part and the plaintiff in part, ordering SERPAPROSA to pay the plaintiff $0.4 million for its previous representation of SERPAPROSA. Between November 2010 and October 2013, the judgment was subject to multiple appeals by both parties to the Fifth Civil Court of Appeal of the Federal District in Mexico (the “Fifth Civil Court of Appeal”) and to the First Civil Collegiate Tribunal of the First Circuit in Mexico (the “First Civil Collegiate Tribunal”), and was remanded twice to the Court for determination of the fees to be paid to the plaintiff. On December 6, 2013, the Fifth Civil Court of Appeal issued a decision in favor of the plaintiff, modifying the lower court’s ruling and ordering SERPAPROSA to pay the plaintiff $7.4 million plus VAT and interest for its previous representation of SERPAPROSA. SERPAPROSA filed a constitutional injunction on January 20, 2014, with the First Civil Collegiate Tribunal. The appeal was granted in favor of SERPAPROSA on September 17, 2014, ordering SERPAPROSA to pay $1.8 million plus VAT and interest. The plaintiff filed an appeal on October 7, 2014, with the Mexico Supreme Court, which was rejected by the court on October 22, 2014; however, the plaintiff may continue to assert appeals. The Company has accrued $1.8 million, reflecting the Company’s best estimate of exposure, although additional reasonably possible losses could be up to $10 million, based on currency exchange rates at September 30, 2014. The ultimate resolution of this matter is unknown and the estimated liability may change in the future. The Company denies the allegations asserted by the plaintiff and is vigorously defending itself in this matter.
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 the ultimate disposition of any of the lawsuits currently pending against the Company should have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Consolidated Review
Non-GAAP and Adjusted Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP and Adjusted Non-GAAP results described in this filing 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 without certain income and expense items and to 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 Non-GAAP tax rate. For 2014, a forecasted full-year tax rate is used. The full year Non-GAAP tax rate in both years excludes certain pretax and tax income and expense amounts. The purpose of Adjusted Non-GAAP results is to report historical Non-GAAP information assuming that our Venezuelan operations had been remeasured using a rate of 50 bolivars to the U.S. dollar.
The Non-GAAP and Adjusted Non-GAAP information provides information to assist comparability and estimates of future performance. Brink’s believes these measures are helpful in assessing operations and estimating future results and enable period-to-period comparability of financial performance. In addition, Brink’s believes the measures will help investors assess the ongoing operations. Non-GAAP and Adjusted 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. Amounts reported for prior periods have been updated in this filing to present information consistently for all periods presented.
The adjustments are described in detail and are reconciled to our GAAP results on pages 37 – 41.
Consolidated projections of Non-GAAP targets for 2016 (including segment margin, segment operating profit, and EPS) are not reconciled to GAAP counterparts because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measure without unreasonable effort.

GAAP
Third Quarter
Our revenues decreased $69.3 million or 7% and our operating profit decreased $11.7 million or 20% in the third quarter of 2014. Revenues decreased due to unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates, partially offset by organic growth in our Latin America segment.
Cost of revenues decreased 2% to $770.9 million primarily due to currency devaluation in Venezuela, partially offset by severance charges related to the restructuring of our Netherlands operations, revenue-related growth in Brazil and a loss of $10.4 million related to the theft loss in Chile. Selling, general and administrative costs decreased 4% to $135.5 million primarily due to currency devaluation in Venezuela.
Operating profit decreased primarily due to an organic decrease in our Latin America segment, unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates and severance and asset impairment charges related to the restructuring of our Netherlands operations due to the loss of a customer ($15.6 million), partially offset by the gain on sale of our minority interest in a CIT business in Peru ($44.3 million). 2014 results also included a loss of $10.4 million related to the theft loss in Chile.
Our income from continuing operations in 2014 decreased $11.1 million compared to 2013 primarily due to the operating profit decrease mentioned above, partially offset by the income tax and noncontrolling interest impact of the profit decrease.
Our earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.38, down from $0.61 in 2013.
Nine Months
Our revenues decreased $96.6 million or 3% and our operating profit decreased $123.6 million, resulting in a loss in the first nine months of 2014. Revenues decreased due to unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates, partially offset by organic growth in our Latin America segment.
Cost of revenues decreased 2% to $2,321.1 million as revenue-related growth in Brazil and severance charges related to the restructuring of our Netherlands operations were offset by devaluation in Venezuela. Selling, general and administrative costs decreased by $2.0 million to $416.0 million as devaluation in Venezuela was partially offset by higher overall stock compensation expense.
Operating profit decreased primarily due to a larger charge related to the remeasurement of net monetary assets as a result of the devaluation of Venezuela currency ($121.6 million in 2014 versus $13.4 million in 2013). The higher Venezuela remeasurement charge, other unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates, severance and asset impairment charges related to the restructuring of our Netherlands operations due to the loss of a customer ($15.6 million) and an organic decrease in our Latin America segment were partially offset by lower non-segment expenses, including the gain on sale of our minority interest in a CIT business in Peru ($44.3 million).
21
Our income from continuing operations in 2014 decreased $83.3 million compared to 2013 primarily due to the operating profit decrease mentioned above, partially offset by the income tax and noncontrolling interest impact of the profit decrease.
Our earnings per share from continuing operations was ($0.76), down from $0.94 in 2013.

Third Quarter
The analysis of Non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of GAAP revenues.
Our operating profit decreased $45.3 million or 64% primarily due to an organic decrease in our Latin America segment and unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates. 2014 results also included a loss of $10.4 million related to the theft loss in Chile.
Our income from continuing operations in 2014 decreased 72% primarily due to the operating profit decrease mentioned above, partially offset by the income tax and noncontrolling interest impact of the profit decrease.
Our earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.19, down from $0.69 in 2013.
Nine Months
The analysis of Non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of GAAP revenues.
Our operating profit decreased $47.7 million or 30% due to unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates, an organic profit decrease in our Latin America segment and increased non-segment expenses.
Our income from continuing operations in 2014 decreased 42% due to lower operating profit, partially offset by the income tax and noncontrolling interest impact of the profit decrease.
Our earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.86, down from $1.49 in 2013.
Outlook for 2014
GAAP
Overall
Our organic revenue growth rate for 2014 is expected to be in the 11% to 13% range, and our estimate of the negative impact of changes in currency exchange rates on revenue is in the 17% to 19% range. We expect our revenue to be $3.7 billion in 2014. Our operating segment margin is expected to be in the 1.0% to 2.0% range.
We recently offered eligible pension plan participants the option of receiving the value of their pension benefit in a lump-sum payment or a reduced annuity. As a result, we expect to incur a fourth-quarter non-cash settlement charge against our GAAP earnings of between $50 million and $65 million. The amount of the charge depends on the final number of participants who choose one of these options and actuarial assumptions at the remeasurement date.
We continue to focus on reducing the cost structure of our business to achieve our 2016 financial targets, which may increase severance and other costs.
22
By Segment
Latin America organic revenue growth rate for 2014 is expected to be in the 25% to 27% range, and our estimate of the negative impact of changes in currency exchange rates on Latin America revenue is in the 38% to 42% range. Our Latin America segment margin is expected to be in the (3.0)% to (5.0)% range.
EMEA organic revenue growth rate for 2014 is expected to be in the 0% to 2% range, and our estimate of the positive impact of changes in currency exchange rates on EMEA revenue is in the 0% to 3% range. Our EMEA segment margin is expected to be in the 5.5% to 7.5% range.
North America organic revenue growth rate for 2014 is expected to be in the 0% to 2% range, and our estimate of the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on North America revenue is in the negative 2% to 0% range. Our North America segment margin is expected to be in the 1.5% to 2.5% range for 2014. We expect the North American margin to improve in 2015, and we have a goal to reach 7% in 2016.
Asia Pacific organic revenue growth rate for 2014 is expected to be in the 2% to 4% range, and our estimate of the negative impact of changes in currency exchange rates on Asia Pacific revenue is in the 1% to 3% range. Our Asia Pacific segment margin is expected to be in the 10.5% to 12.5% range.
Non-GAAP
Overall
Our outlook for Non-GAAP revenues is the same as our outlook for GAAP revenues. Our outlook for Non-GAAP operating segment margin is expected to be in the 5.5% to 6.0% range. Our target for 2015 is to achieve a Non-GAAP segment margin rate of 6.5% to 7.0% on revenue of approximately $3.8 billion. We are targeting Non-GAAP segment margin rate of 8% resulting in a range of $290 to $330 million of Non-GAAP segment operating profit and $2.50 to $3.00 of earnings per share by 2016.
By Segment
Our outlook for Non-GAAP revenues is the same as our outlook for GAAP revenues. Our outlook for Non-GAAP segment margin is the same as our outlook for GAAP segment margin for our Asia Pacific segment. Latin America Non-GAAP segment margin excludes the expenses related to currency devaluation in Venezuela and is expected to be in the 5.0% to 7.0% range. EMEA Non-GAAP segment margin excludes costs related to the restructuring of our operations in the Netherlands and is expected to be in the 6.5% to 8.5% range. North America Non-GAAP segment margin excludes the cost of U.S. retirement plans and is expected to be in the 2.0% to 3.0% range.
Performing Branches in U.S.
Performing branches is an internal profitability metric we use to measure our U.S. operations. During the second quarter, we revised our definition of a performing branch to better align with the industry. We considered 56% of our branches to be performing branches in the U.S. at the end of 2013. Our goal is to increase performing branches to 85% by the end of 2016. We define a performing branch as a branch that has positive operating profit after all country overhead costs have been allocated to the branches.

(a) | Includes operating results and gains/losses on acquisitions, sales and exits of businesses. |
(b) | The “Currency” amount in the GAAP table is the sum of the “monthly currency changes” adjusted for any additional expense recorded under highly inflationary accounting rules. The “monthly currency change” is equal to the Revenue or Operating Profit for the month in local currency, on a country-by-country basis, multiplied by the difference in rates used to translate the current period amounts to U.S. dollars versus the translation rates used in the year-ago month. Venezuela is translated to the U.S. dollar under highly inflationary accounting rules. Net monetary assets in local currency are remeasured to U.S. dollars using current exchange rates with losses recognized in earnings. Nonmonetary assets under these rules are not remeasured to a lower basis in U.S. dollars when the currency devalues. Instead, these assets retain their higher U.S. dollar historical bases and the excess basis is recognized in earnings as each asset is consumed. Both of these effects are included in “Currency” in the GAAP table. The Non-GAAP table excludes any excess basis recognized in earnings as the nonmonetary assets are consumed. |

Segment Review
Third Quarter 2014 versus Third Quarter 2013
Total Segment Operating Profit
GAAP
Revenue decreased 7% to $913.1 million due primarily to unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates partially offset by organic growth of 26% in our Latin America segment.
Segment operating profit decreased 79% to $17.0 million reflecting the negative impact of organic decreases in our Latin America segment, changes in currency exchange rates, and severance and asset impairment charges related to the restructuring of our Netherlands operations due to the loss of a customer ($15.6 million).
2014 results included a charge of $10.4 million related to the theft loss in Chile. This charge impacted the Latin America segment by $4.5 million, the EMEA segment by $3.1 million, the North America segment by $2.3 million and the Asia Pacific segment by $0.5 million.
Non-GAAP
The analysis of Non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of GAAP revenues.
Segment operating profit decreased 53% to $38.4 million due to organic decreases in our Latin America segment and the negative impact of changes in currency exchange rates.
2014 results included a charge of $10.4 million related to the theft loss in Chile. This charge impacted the Latin America segment by $4.5 million, the EMEA segment by $3.1 million, the North America segment by $2.3 million and the Asia Pacific segment by $0.5 million.
Latin America
GAAP
Revenue in Latin America decreased 19% ($80.6 million) due to unfavorable currency impact ($191.8 million) primarily driven by devaluation in Venezuela, partially offset by 26% organic growth ($111.2 million) driven by inflation-based price increases in Venezuela and Argentina, and volume and price growth in Brazil.
Latin America operating profit decreased $47.9 million to an operating loss of $5.1 million due to:
· | organic decreases in Venezuela, Mexico and Brazil, |
· | unfavorable currency impact ($16.5 million), and |
· | higher security costs. |
Non-GAAP
The analysis of Latin America Non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of Latin America GAAP revenues.
Latin America operating profit decreased 100% ($42.1 million) due to:
· | organic decreases in Venezuela, Brazil and Mexico, |
· | unfavorable currency impact ($11.7 million), and |
· | higher security costs. |
EMEA
GAAP
Revenue increased 1% ($2.3 million) due to organic growth in Germany and Russia, mostly offset by lower volumes in our Global Services line of business.
EMEA operating profit decreased 51% ($16.5 million) due to severance and asset impairment charges related to the restructuring of our Netherlands operations due to the loss of a customer ($15.6 million), higher security costs and lower profits in France, partially offset by organic profit growth in the Netherlands (excluding the severance and asset impairment charges) and Germany.
Non-GAAP
The analysis of EMEA Non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of EMEA GAAP revenues.
25
EMEA operating profit decreased 3% ($1.1 million) due to higher security costs and lower profits in France, partially offset by organic profit growth in the Netherlands and Germany.
North America
GAAP
Revenue in North America increased 2% ($5.4 million) as organic growth in the United States and Canada offset unfavorable currency impact ($2.2 million).
Operating profit increased $1.3 million as lower pension costs and improvement from cost efficiency measures were offset by lower CIT demand and continued pricing pressure in the U.S., investments in our Global Payments line of business and higher security costs.
Non-GAAP
The analysis of North America Non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of North America GAAP revenues.
Operating profit decreased $0.9 million due to lower CIT demand and continued pricing pressure in the U.S., investments in our Global Payments line of business and higher security costs, offset by improvement from cost efficiency measures.
Most of the armored vehicles used by our U.S. operations are accounted for as operating leases. The cost related to these leases is recognized as rental expense in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Since March 2009, we have acquired armored vehicles in the U.S. either by purchasing or by leasing under agreements that we have accounted for as capital leases. We currently expect to continue acquiring new vehicles in the U.S. with capital leases. The cost of vehicles under capital lease is recognized as depreciation and interest expense. Because of the shift in the way we acquire vehicles in the U.S., our depreciation and interest related to the U.S. fleet is higher and our rental expense is lower compared to earlier periods and we expect this trend to continue.
Asia Pacific
GAAP
Revenue in Asia Pacific increased 10% due to organic growth across the region.
Operating profit increased 4%.
Non-GAAP
The analysis of Asia Pacific Non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of Asia Pacific GAAP revenues.
Operating profit increased 4%.

Third Quarter
We recognized $30.5 million in non-segment income in the third quarter of 2014 compared to expense of $20.7 million in the prior year period. The income in 2014 was mainly due to the $44.3 million gain on the sale of our equity interest in a CIT business in Peru and lower retirement costs ($7.4 million).
Nine Months
Non-segment expenses in the first nine months of 2014 were $56.4 million lower than 2013 due to the
$44.3 million gain on the sale of our equity interest in a CIT business in Peru and lower retirement costs ($20.5 million),
partially offset by:
· | higher overall stock compensation expense ($4.6 million) including a cumulative accounting adjustment versus the prior year period, and |
· | favorable purchase price adjustments in 2013 primarily related to a 2010 purchase of a CIT business in Mexico ($1.1 million) and a January 2013 purchase of a payments business in Brazil ($0.9 million). |
Outlook for 2014
We estimate that non-segment expenses on a GAAP basis will be $18 million in 2014, a decrease from 2013 primarily as a result of the gain on the sale of our equity interest in a CIT business in Peru and lower retirement costs. See page 35 for a summary of our 2014 Outlook.

Non-segment expenses on a Non-GAAP basis in the third quarter of 2014 were $1.4 million higher compared to third quarter of 2013, due to higher general and administrative costs ($1.3 million) primarily related to higher stock compensation expense.
Nine Months
Non-segment expenses on a Non-GAAP basis in the first nine months of 2014 were $5.5 million higher than 2013, due to higher general and administrative costs ($5.3 million) primarily related to a reduction of accrued benefits in the first quarter of 2013 and higher overall stock compensation expense.
Outlook for 2014
We estimate that non-segment expenses on a Non-GAAP basis will be $47 million in 2014, up slightly from 2013. See page 35 for a summary of our 2014 Outlook.

Foreign Operations
We currently serve customers in more than 100 countries, including approximately 43 countries where we operate subsidiaries.
We are subject to risks customarily associated with doing business in foreign countries, including labor and economic conditions, 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.
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.
From time to time, we use foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies. At September 30, 2014, the notional value of our shorter term outstanding foreign currency contracts was $48.3 million with remaining weighted average contract maturities of approximately 1 month. These shorter term foreign currency contracts primarily offset exposures in the Mexican peso and Euro. Additionally, these shorter term contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded immediately in earnings. We recognized losses of $0.7 million on such contracts in the first nine months of 2014. At September 30, 2014, the fair value of these shorter term foreign currency contracts was not significant.
We also have a longer term cross currency swap contract to hedge exposure in Brazilian real which is designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. At September 30, 2014, the notional value of this longer term contract was $20.9 million with a weighted average maturity of 1.8 years. We recognized net losses of $0.2 million on this contract, of which gains of $0.6 million were included in other operating income (expense) to offset transaction losses of $0.6 million and expenses of $0.8 million were included in interest and other income (expense) in the first nine months of 2014. At September 30, 2014, the fair value of the longer term cross currency swap was an asset of $4.3 million.
See note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of Venezuelan government currency processes and restrictions, their effect on our operations, and how we account for currency remeasurement for our Venezuelan subsidiaries.

Third Quarter
Other operating income was higher by $39.6 million in the third quarter of 2014 than the third quarter of 2013 mainly as a result of
· | a $44.3 million gain on the sale of our equity interest in a CIT business in Peru, and |
· | $4.1 million in higher foreign currency transaction losses in 2013, |
partially offset by
· | $6.3 million in impairment losses in the 2014 period, including $5.1 million related to property and equipment in the Netherlands (see note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for more information on the restructuring in the Netherlands). |
Nine Months
Other operating expense increased in the first nine months of 2014 primarily as a result of the remeasurement of net monetary assets in Venezuela due to the adoption of the government’s SICAD II currency exchange process partially offset by the gain on the sale of our interest in the Peru CIT business. See note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of the change in currency exchange processes and rates in Venezuela.

2014 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first nine months of 2014 was negative and less than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the significant nondeductible expenses resulting from the currency devaluation in Venezuela in the first quarter. These nondeductible expenses caused our earnings before tax in the period to be negative.
Excluding the Venezuela nondeductible expenses, our effective tax rate on continuing operations in the first nine months is 44%. The rate is higher than 35% primarily due to third-quarter tax expense for a divestiture of an equity-method investment in Peru and the realization of tax benefit for only a portion of the restructuring charges of the Netherlands operations, combined with higher tax expense resulting from cross border payments, nondeductible expenses in Mexico and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax, partially offset by lower taxes resulting from the geographical mix of earnings.
2013 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first nine months of 2013 was lower than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate largely due to the geographical mix of earnings, mostly offset by higher taxes due to cross border payments, and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax.
Outlook for 2014
Due to the significant non-deductible Venezuela remeasurement charge, tax expense is projected to be more than income from continuing operations before tax on a GAAP basis, resulting in a tax rate in excess of 100%. On a Non- GAAP basis, the effective income tax rate for 2014 is expected to be between 36.5% and 39.5%. The estimated range increased by 1.5% this quarter due to the exclusion of Peru earnings as a result of the divestiture. Our effective tax rate may fluctuate materially from these estimates due to changes in the Venezuela foreign exchange rate (SICAD II), permanent book-tax differences, changes in the expected geographical mix of earnings, changes in current or deferred taxes due to legislative changes, changes in valuation allowances or accruals for contingencies and other factors. See page 35 for a summary of our 2014 outlook.

The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 was primarily due to net losses of our Venezuelan subsidiary. As a result of the March 2014 currency devaluation in Venezuela, we recognized $121.6 million of currency exchange losses from the remeasurement of net monetary assets and another $16.3 million of expense related to nonmonetary assets in the first nine months of 2014. Nonmonetary assets were not remeasured to a lower basis when the currency devalued. Instead, under highly inflationary accounting rules, these assets retained their higher historical bases, with the excess recognized in earnings as the asset is consumed. The after-tax effect of these losses attributable to noncontrolling interests was $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2014 and $46.0 million in the first nine months of 2014.
Outlook for 2014
We expect the net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests to be $25 million to $29 million on a GAAP basis in 2014 as compared to net income of $24 million in 2013. The 2014 loss attributable to noncontrolling interests is principally due to the remeasurement of net monetary assets in the first quarter for Venezuela.
We expect the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests to be $18 million to $22 million on a Non-GAAP basis in 2014 as compared to $29 million in 2013. The lower net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in 2014 is due to lower forecasted U.S. dollar earnings for Venezuela in 2014 as a result of less-favorable rates used to translate local results. See page 35 for a summary of our 2014 Outlook.

(a) | To eliminate the effects of the March 2014 currency devaluation in Venezuela as described in (g) below. Expenses eliminated from Non-GAAP results include first-quarter currency exchange losses totaling $122 million related to remeasured net monetary assets and $16 million in year-to-date expenses related to nonmonetary assets. Nonmonetary assets were not remeasured to a lower basis when the currency devalued. Instead, under highly inflationary accounting rules, these assets retained their higher historical bases, which excess is recognized in earnings as the asset is consumed. |
(b) | To eliminate |
· | $44.9 million in third-quarter divestiture gains primarily related to the sale of our equity investment in a CIT business in Peru. |
· | $15.6 million in third-quarter charges related to the planned restructuring of our business in the Netherlands. |
· | $3.8 million in equity earnings ($1.2 million in the first quarter, $1.3 million in the second quarter and $1.3 million in the third quarter) from our former investment in a CIT business in Peru. |
· | a $0.7 million adjustment in the third quarter related to the decrease in a loss contingency assumed in the 2010 Mexico acquisition. |
· | $1.1 million in restructuring charges ($0.7 million in the second quarter and $0.4 million in the third quarter) related to Latin American operations that are expected to be shut down within the next 12 months. |
(c) | To eliminate employee benefit settlement losses in Mexico. |
(d) | To eliminate expenses related to U.S. retirement plans. |
(e) | To eliminate an accounting adjustment related to share-based compensation ($4.2 million expense in the second quarter and a $1.8 million benefit in the third quarter). The accounting adjustment revises the accounting for share-based compensation from fixed to variable fair value accounting as defined in ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation. |
(f) | To adjust effective income tax rate in the interim period to be equal to the midpoint of the estimated range of the full-year Non-GAAP effective income tax rate. The midpoint of the estimated range of the full-year Non-GAAP effective tax rate for 2014 is 38%. |
(g) | Effective March 24, 2014, Brink’s began remeasuring its Venezuelan operating results using currency exchange rates reported under a newly established currency exchange process in Venezuela (the “SICAD II process”). The rate published for this process has averaged approximately 50 since opening on March 24, 2014. This adjustment reflects a hypothetical remeasurement of Brink’s Venezuela’s first quarter 2014 revenue and operating results using a rate of 50 bolivars to the U.S. dollar, which approximates the rate observed in the new SICAD II process in March 2014. |
(h) | Adjusted Non-GAAP results are equal to Non-GAAP results further adjusted for Venezuelan results at 50 bolivars per U.S. dollar. |
Amounts may not add due to rounding.

· | a $2.6 million unfavorable tax adjustment related to the Belgium disposition. |
(b) | To eliminate the effects of the February 2013 currency devaluation in Venezuela in which the official exchange rate in Venezuela declined 16% from 5.3 to 6.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. Expenses eliminated from Non-GAAP results include first quarter currency exchange losses totaling $13.4 million related to remeasured net monetary assets as well as expenses related to nonmonetary assets ($0.5 million in the first quarter, $0.2 million in the second quarter, $0.2 million in the third quarter and $0.3 million in the fourth quarter). Nonmonetary assets were not remeasured to a lower basis when the currency devalued. Instead, under highly inflationary accounting rules, these assets retained their higher historical bases, which excess is recognized in earnings as the asset is consumed. |
(c) | To eliminate employee benefit settlement losses in Mexico. |
(d) | To eliminate expenses related to U.S. retirement plans. |
(e) | To adjust effective income tax rate in the interim period to be equal to the full-year non-GAAP effective income tax rate. The full-year non-GAAP effective tax rate for 2013 was 34.1%. |
(f) | Effective March 24, 2014, Brink’s began remeasuring its Venezuelan operating results using currency exchange rates reported under a newly established currency exchange process in Venezuela (the “SICAD II process”). This adjustment reflects a hypothetical remeasurement of Brink’s Venezuela’s 2013 revenue and operating results using a rate of 50 bolivars to the U.S. dollar, which approximates the rate observed in the new SICAD II process in March 2014. Losses that would have been recognized in 2013 had Brink’s used a rate of 50 bolivars to the U.S. dollar to remeasure its net monetary assets have been excluded from this adjustment and the Adjusted Non-GAAP results. |
(g) | Adjusted Non-GAAP results are equal to Non-GAAP results further adjusted for Venezuelan results at 50 bolivars per U.S. dollar. |
Amounts may not add due to rounding.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $31.9 million in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to the first nine months of 2013. Cash used for investing activities decreased by $101.4 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013 primarily as a result of $60 million of cash proceeds received on the sale of an equity interest in a CIT business in Peru and a decrease in capital expenditures and cash used for business acquisitions. Cash also decreased $94.1 million in 2014 as a result of a change in the exchange rate we used to remeasure net monetary assets including cash in Venezuela (see note 1 to the consolidated financial statements). We prepaid $43.2 million of our long-term debt during the third quarter of 2014. We financed our liquidity needs in the first nine months of 2014 with our revolving credit facility.
We entered into a new master lease agreement in late 2009 to finance the acquisition of new armored vehicles in the U.S. Vehicles acquired under the 2009 lease agreement have been accounted for as capital leases. Vehicles acquired under the previous lease agreement were accounted for as operating leases.

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. |
Both measures of “Non-GAAP cash flows from operating activities” (before and after U.S. pension contributions) are supplemental financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. The purpose of these Non-GAAP measures is to report financial information excluding the impact of cash received and processed in certain of our secure Cash Management Services operations, without cash flows from discontinued operations and with and without cash flows related to the primary U.S. pension plan. We believe these measures are helpful in assessing cash flows from operations, enable period-to-period comparability and are useful in predicting future operating cash flows. These Non-GAAP measures 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.
GAAP
Operating cash flows decreased by $31.9 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily due to higher cash contributions to our primary U.S. pension plan and lower operating profit. These decreases in operating cash flows were partially offset by increases in cash provided from changes in working capital, including the timing of security loss payments and insurance recoveries, changes in customer obligations of certain of our secure Cash Management Services operations (cash held for customers increased by $15.5 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to a decrease of $4.9 million in the same 2013 period) and lower amounts paid for income taxes.
Non-GAAP (reduced by pension contributions)
Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $56.8 million in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily due to higher cash contributions to our primary U.S. pension plan and lower operating profit. These decreases in operating cash flows were partially offset by increases in cash provided from changes in working capital, including the timing of security loss payments and insurance recoveries, and lower amounts paid for income taxes.
Non-GAAP (before pension contributions)
Cash flows from operating activities increased by $17.4 million in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily due to cash provided from changes in working capital, including the timing of security loss payments and insurance recoveries, and lower amounts paid for income taxes, partially offset by lower operating profit.

An acquisition of noncontrolling interests of a subsidiary ($18.5 million in 2013) is included in the financing section of our cash flows statement.

Since 2011, we have increased our spending on information technology to improve business process productivity, and we have reduced our maintenance capital expenditures for vehicles and facilities while continuing to focus on safety and security. We continue to focus on maximizing asset utilization and maintenance of capital expenditures which has enabled us to reduce our annual spend to a level more in line with depreciation. Our reinvestment ratio, which we define as the annual amount of property and equipment acquired during the period divided by the annual amount of depreciation, was 0.9 for the twelve months ending September 30, 2014 compared to 1.2 for the twelve months ending September 30, 2013.
Capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2014 were primarily for information technology, machinery and equipment and CompuSafe® equipment.

Debt borrowings and repayments
We borrow principally from our revolving credit facilities to meet our cash needs. Cash provided by financing activities decreased by $49.0 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013. This decrease is primarily due to $77.2 million in lower borrowings to fund business needs. The lower borrowing needs in 2014 compared to 2013 resulted from the sale of an equity interest in Peru for $60 million in 2014, lower capital expenditures and less cash used to fund acquisitions partially offset by higher U.S. pension plan contributions and lower operating profit. In addition, as described below, we prepaid $43.2 million of our long-term debt in 2014.
Dividends
We paid dividends to Brink’s shareholders of $0.30 per share or $14.5 million in the first nine months of 2014. Dividends paid to shareholders were up slightly from $14.4 million paid to shareholders in the prior year as the number of shares outstanding increased slightly. 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.
Capitalization
We use a combination of debt, leases and equity to capitalize our operations.
Tight credit markets in late 2008 and early 2009 resulted in unreliable credit availability under our U.S. armored vehicle master lease agreement and volatile pricing. As a result, from March 2009 to late 2009, we purchased vehicles with cash borrowed under our committed credit facilities instead of leasing. In late 2009 as credit markets stabilized, we began to lease vehicles under a new master agreement. Vehicles acquired under the 2009 master lease agreement are accounted for as capital leases. Vehicles acquired under the previous lease agreement are accounted for as operating leases based on terms of that agreement. We expect to continue financing new vehicles in the U.S. using capital leases.

Net Debt is a supplemental Non-GAAP financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. We use Net Debt as a measure of our financial leverage. We believe that investors also may find Net Debt to be helpful in evaluating our financial leverage. Net Debt should not be considered as an alternative to Debt determined in accordance with GAAP and should be reviewed in conjunction with our consolidated balance sheets. Set forth above is a reconciliation of Net Debt, a Non-GAAP financial measure, to Debt, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP. Net Debt excluding cash and debt in Venezuelan operations was $331 million at September 30, 2014, and $306 million at December 31, 2013.
Net Debt increased by $100 million primarily due to the adoption of the less favorable SICAD II exchange rate for currency held in Venezuelan bolivars during the first quarter of 2014 and cash contributions made to our primary U.S. pension plan during the first nine months of 2014. See note 1 and note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for more information.
Liquidity Needs
Our operating liquidity needs are typically financed by cash from operations, short-term debt and the Revolving Facility (our debt facilities are described below). We have certain limitations and considerations related to the cash and borrowing capacity that are reported in our consolidated financial statements. Based on our current cash on hand, amounts available under our credit facilities and current projections of cash flows from operations, we believe that we will be able to meet our liquidity needs for more than the next twelve months.
Limitations on dividends from foreign subsidiaries. A significant portion of our operations are outside the U.S. which may make it difficult to repatriate cash for use in the U.S. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our 2013 Form 10-K, for more information on the risks associated with having businesses outside the U.S.
Incremental taxes. Of the $223.0 million of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2014, $198.0 million is held by subsidiaries that we consider to be permanently invested and for which we do not expect to repatriate to the U.S. If we were to decide to repatriate this cash to the U.S., we may have to accrue and pay additional income taxes. Given the number of foreign operations and the complexities of the tax law, it is not practical to estimate the potential tax liability, but the amount of taxes owed could be material depending on how and when the repatriation were to occur.
Venezuela. We have $17.6 million of cash and cash equivalents denominated in Venezuelan bolivars (as remeasured at the published SICAD II rate of 50 bolivars to the U.S. dollar) at September 30, 2014. We believe that the SICAD II process to convert bolivars (as described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements) will be the primary method for which we are likely to receive U.S. dollars that we need to operate our business and to repatriate earnings. The Venezuelan government has restricted conversions of bolivars into U.S. dollars in the past and may do so in the future.
Argentina. We have $12.7 million in cash and cash equivalents denominated in Argentinean pesos at September 30, 2014. The Argentinean government has, from time-to-time, imposed limits on the exchange of local pesos into U.S. dollars. As a result, we have elected in the past and may elect in the future to repatriate cash from Argentina using alternative legal methods, which may result in less favorable exchange rates.
Debt
We have a $480 million unsecured revolving bank credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) that matures in January 2017. The Revolving Facility’s interest rate is based on LIBOR plus a margin or alternate base rate plus a margin. The Revolving Facility allows us to borrow or issue letters of credit (or otherwise satisfy credit needs) on a revolving basis over the term of the facility. As of September 30, 2014, $235 million was available under the Revolving Facility. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility as of September 30, 2014, were denominated primarily in U.S. dollars and to a lesser extent in euros.
The margin on LIBOR borrowings under the Revolving Facility, which ranges from 0.9% to 1.575% depending on our credit rating, was 1.40% at September 30, 2014. The margin on alternate base rate borrowings under the Revolving Facility ranges from 0.0% to 0.575%. We also pay an annual facility fee on the Revolving Facility based on our credit rating. The facility fee, which ranges from 0.10% to 0.30%, was 0.225% at September 30, 2014.
We have $100 million in unsecured notes issued through a private placement debt transaction (the “Notes”). The Notes comprise $50 million in series A notes with a fixed interest rate of 4.57% and $50 million in series B notes with a fixed interest rate of 5.20%. The Notes are due in January 2021, with principal payments under the series A notes to begin in January 2015.
As of September 30, 2014, we had two unsecured multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities totaling $40 million, of which $20 million was available. A $20 million facility expires in December 2015 and a $20 million facility expires in February 2017. Interest on these facilities is based on LIBOR plus a margin. The margin ranges from 0.9% to 2.0%. We also have the ability to borrow from other banks, at the banks’
45
discretion, under short-term uncommitted agreements. Various foreign subsidiaries maintain other lines of credit and overdraft facilities with a number of banks.
We have a $24 million unsecured committed credit facility that expires in April 2016. Interest on this facility is based on LIBOR plus a margin, which ranges from 1.20% to 1.575%. As of September 30, 2014, $12 million was available under the facility.
We have three unsecured letter of credit facilities totaling $179 million, of which approximately $67 million was available at September 30, 2014. An $85 million facility expires in June 2015, a $40 million facility expires in December 2015, and a $54 million facility expires in December 2016. The Revolving Facility and the multi-currency revolving credit facilities are also used for issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees.
We redeemed $43.2 million of bonds issued by the Peninsula Ports Authority of Virginia at par in the third quarter of 2014. The amount paid, including accrued and unpaid interest, was $44.3 million. Although we were not the primary obligor of the debt, we recorded the obligation as debt because we had guaranteed its payment. The guarantee originated as part of a former interest in Dominion Terminal Associates (“DTA”), a deep water coal terminal related to our former coal business.
The Revolving Facility, the Notes, the unsecured multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities, the unsecured committed credit facility and the letter of credit facilities contain subsidiary guarantees and various financial and other covenants. The financial covenants, among other things, limit our total indebtedness, limit priority debt, limit asset sales, limit the use of proceeds from asset sales and provide for minimum coverage of interest costs. The credit agreements do not provide for the acceleration of payments should our credit rating be reduced. If we were not to comply with the terms of our various credit 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 loan agreements. We were in compliance with all financial covenants at September 30, 2014.
Equity
At September 30, 2014, we had 100 million shares of common stock authorized and 48.6 million shares issued and outstanding.

U.S. Pension Plans
Pension benefits provided to eligible U.S. employees were frozen on December 31, 2005, and are not provided to employees hired after 2005 or to those covered by a collective bargaining agreement. There are approximately 19,800 beneficiaries in the plans.
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 are approximately 4,100 beneficiaries in the UMWA plans. The company does not expect to make additional contributions to these plans until 2033 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 are approximately 710 black lung beneficiaries.
Other
We have a plan that provides retirement healthcare benefits to certain eligible salaried employees. Benefits under this plan are not indexed for inflation.
Assumptions for U.S. Retirement Obligations
We have made various assumptions to estimate the amount of payments to be made in the future. The most significant assumptions include:
· | Changing discount rates and other assumptions in effect at measurement dates (normally December 31) |
· | Investment returns of plan assets |
· | Contributions to plans from Brink’s including the acceleration of 2015 and 2016 required contributions into 2014 |
· | Settlement of obligations to participants |
· | Addition of new participants (historically immaterial due to freezing of pension benefits and exit from coal business) |
· | Mortality rates |
· | Change in laws |
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, 2013.
New Mortality Data for U.S. Retirement Plans. The Society of Actuaries issued updated versions of its mortality tables in October 2014. The new mortality tables reflect increasing life expectancies in the U.S. We will consider the new data when making mortality rates assumptions
47
for our year-end reporting. We expect that the benefit obligation and future expense for our U.S. retirement plans will significantly increase as a result of the new guidance.
Other Changes in 2014 for the Primary U.S. Pension Plan. We have taken some steps as part of our pension de-risking strategy and to reduce the administrative costs associated with the primary U.S. pension plan.
· | We accelerated a portion of our required annual contributions in the third quarter. We contributed $87.2 million to the plan in the first nine months of 2014, including $28.9 million in payments that were not due until 2015 and $31.6 million in payments that were not due until 2016. Accelerating the 2015 and 2016 contributions will reduce future insurance premiums owed to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) – an administrative cost of the plan. |
· | In August 2014, we offered approximately 9,000 terminated participants the option of receiving the value of their pension benefit in a lump-sum payment, or as a reduced annuity. We believe the action will further reduce the PBGC premiums as a portion of the premiums is based on the number of participants in the plan. As of the date of this filing, we had not yet completed the tabulation of responses but we expect the plan’s disbursements in December 2014 for these lump-sum elections will range between $120 million and $150 million. We expect to record a settlement charge in the fourth quarter of 2014 between $50 million and $65 million. The actual amount of the charge will depend upon the actual return on plan assets and various actuarial assumptions, including discount rate, long-term rate of return on assets, retirement age and mortality at the remeasurement date. |
· | Federal legislation titled Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 (“HATFA”) was passed in August 2014. HATFA extended one of the key provisions of previous legislation, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century, effectively further spreading the expected funding requirements for our primary U.S. pension plan over a longer period of time. Because of HATFA and the acceleration of our 2015 and 2016 contributions into 2014, we do not expect to make additional required contributions until 2020. |

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 43 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 exposure in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
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 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 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.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
