Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Brink’s Company (along with its subsidiaries, “we,” “our,” “Brink’s” or the “Company”), based in Richmond, Virginia, is a leading provider of secure transportation, cash management services and other security-related services to banks and financial institutions, retailers, government agencies, mints, jewelers and other commercial operations around the world. Brink’s is the oldest and largest secure transportation and cash management services company in the U.S., and a market leader in many other countries. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brink’s and the subsidiaries it controls. Control is determined based on ownership rights or, when applicable, based on whether we are considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. Our interest in 20% to 50% owned companies that are not controlled are accounted for using the equity method (“equity affiliates”), unless we do not sufficiently influence the management of the investee. Other investments are accounted for as cost-method investments or as available-for-sale investments. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when services related to armored vehicle transportation, ATM services, cash management services, payment services, guarding and the secure international transportation of valuables are performed. Customer contracts have prices that are fixed and determinable and we assess the customer’s ability to meet the contractual terms, including payment terms, before entering into contracts. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents include amounts held by certain of our secure cash management services operations for customers for which, under local regulations, the title 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. We record a liability for the amounts owed to customers (see note 11). Trade Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses on our existing accounts receivable. We determine the allowance based on historical write-off experience. We review our allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated principally on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of individual assets or classes of assets. Leased property and equipment meeting capital lease criteria are capitalized at the lower of the present value of the related lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. Amortization is calculated on the straight-line method based on the lease term. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost. Amortization is calculated principally on the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvement or the lease term. Renewal periods are included in the lease term when the renewal is determined to be reasonably assured. Part of the costs related to the development or purchase of internal-use software is capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. Costs that are capitalized include external direct costs of materials and services to develop or obtain the software, and internal costs, including compensation and employee benefits for employees directly associated with a software development project. Estimated Useful Lives Years Buildings 16 to 25 Building leasehold improvements 3 to 10 Vehicles 3 to 10 Capitalized software 3 to 5 Other machinery and equipment 3 to 10 Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs on property and equipment are charged to expense. Major renewals, betterments and modifications are capitalized and depreciated over the lesser of the remaining life of the asset or, if applicable, the lease term. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill is recognized for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets of businesses acquired. Intangible assets arising from business acquisitions include customer lists, customer relationships, covenants not to compete, trademarks and other identifiable intangibles. At December 31, 2015 , finite-lived intangible assets have remaining useful lives ranging from 1 to 12 years and are amortized based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are used or on a straight-line basis. Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets Goodwill is not amortized but is tested at least annually for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is at the operating segment level or one level below an operating segment. Goodwill is assigned to one or more reporting units at the date of acquisition. Prior to the restructuring of our global organization in the fourth quarter of 2014, our reporting units were Latin America, EMEA, North America and Asia. After the 2014 restructuring, we now have ten reporting units which are comprised of: • each of the five countries within Largest 5 Markets (U.S., France, Mexico, Brazil and Canada), • each of the three regions within Global Markets (Latin America, EMEA and Asia), • the Latin American Payment Services businesses, and • the U.S. Payment Services business We performed a goodwill impairment test on the new reporting units that had goodwill as of December 31, 2014. We performed goodwill impairment tests on the reporting units that had goodwill as of October 1, 2015. We performed a quantitative analysis to determine whether reporting unit fair values exceeded their carrying amounts. We based our estimates of fair value on projected future cash flows and completed these impairment tests, as well as the tests in the previous two years, with no impairment charges required. Indefinite-lived intangibles are also tested for impairment at least annually by comparing their carrying values to their estimated fair values. We have had no significant impairments of indefinite-lived intangibles in the last three years. Long-lived assets other than goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets other than goodwill that are to be held and used in operations, an impairment is indicated when the estimated total undiscounted cash flow associated with the asset or group of assets is less than carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Retirement Benefit Plans We account for retirement benefit obligations under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits . For U.S. and certain non-U.S. retirement plans, we derive the discount rates used to measure the present value of benefit obligations using the cash flow matching method. Under this method, we compare the plan’s projected payment obligations by year with the corresponding yields on a Mercer yield curve. Each year’s projected cash flows are then discounted back to their present value at the measurement date and an overall discount rate is determined. The overall discount rate is then rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage point. In non-U.S. locations where the cash flow matching method is not possible, rates of local high-quality long-term government bonds are used to select the discount rate. We used Mercer’s Above-Mean Curve to determine the discount rates for the year-end benefit obligations and retirement cost of our U.S. retirement plans. We select the expected long-term rate of return assumption for our U.S. pension plan and retiree medical plans using advice from an investment advisor and an actuary. The selected rate considers plan asset allocation targets, expected overall investment manager performance and long-term historical average compounded rates of return. Benefit plan experience gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Accumulated net benefit plan experience gains and losses that exceed 10% of the greater of a plan’s benefit obligation or plan assets at the beginning of the year are amortized into earnings from other comprehensive income (loss) on a straight-line basis. The amortization period for pension plans is the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits under the plans. The amortization period for other retirement plans is primarily the average remaining life expectancy of inactive participants. Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded to recognize the expected future tax benefits or costs of events that have been, or will be, reported in different years for financial statement purposes than tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which these items are expected to reverse. We recognize tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions if we believe it is more likely than not the benefit will be realized. We review our deferred tax assets to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that they will be realized. If we determine it is not more-likely-than-not that a deferred tax asset will be realized, we record a valuation allowance to reverse the previously recognized tax benefit. 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 (loss). 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, and has required that currency exchanges be made at official rates established by the government instead of allowing open markets to determine currency rates. Different official rates exist for different industries and purposes and the government does not approve all requests to convert bolivars to other currencies. 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 official currency exchange mechanisms will be discontinued or will not be accessible when needed in the future, which may prevent us from repatriating dividends or 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 revenues and expenses. After the government discontinued the use of the 5.3 rate 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 revenues and expenses. We recognized a $13.4 million net remeasurement loss in 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 2013. Late in 2013, the government added another official exchange process, known as SICAD, for travel and certain other purposes. The published SICAD rate at that time ranged from 10 to 12 bolivars to the dollar. We have only been able to obtain dollars once using the SICAD exchange mechanism and we do not know whether we will be able to access dollars at this rate in the future. We have not used the SICAD rate for translation or for remeasurement purposes. 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 revenues and expenses. Effective March 24, 2014, the government initiated another exchange mechanism known as SICAD II and we began to use this exchange rate to remeasure bolivar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities and to translate our revenues and expenses. During 2014, the SICAD II rate averaged approximately 50 bolivars to the dollar and, at December 31, 2014, the rate was approximately 50 bolivars to the dollar. We recognized a $121.6 million net remeasurement loss in 2014 when we changed from the 6.3 rate to the SICAD II exchange rate. The after-tax effect of these losses attributable to noncontrolling interests was $39.7 million in 2014. While the SICAD II process existed, we received approval to obtain $1.2 million (weighted average exchange rate of 51 ) through this exchange mechanism. Remeasurement rates during 2015. Through February 11, 2015, we used the SICAD II rates to remeasure our bolivar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and to translate our revenue and expenses. Effective February 12, 2015, the SICAD II exchange mechanism was disbanded and we began to use the rate under the new exchange mechanism, known as SIMADI, to remeasure bolivar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities and to translate our revenue and expenses. The SIMADI rate has ranged from 170 to 200 bolivars to the dollar since it was first published and, at December 31, 2015, it was 199 bolivars to the dollar. We recognized an $18.1 million net remeasurement loss in 2015. The after-tax effect of this loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was $5.6 million . To date, we have received minimal U.S. dollars using the SIMADI process. Remeasuring our Venezuelan results using the SIMADI rate has had the following effects on our reported 2015 results: • Our Venezuelan operations have become a less-significant component of Brink’s consolidated revenues and operating profit. • Our Venezuelan operations profit margin percentage declined as the historical U.S. dollar nonmonetary assets were not remeasured to a lower U.S. dollar basis but instead retained a historical higher basis which was used for depreciation and other expense attribution. Our nonmonetary assets were $13.5 million at December 31, 2015 , and $55.0 million at December 31, 2014 . • Our investment in our Venezuelan operations on an equity-method basis has declined. Our investment was $26.0 million at December 31, 2015 , which included $18.7 million in net payables to other Brink's affiliates and $59.6 million at December 31, 2014 , which included $17.6 million in net payables to other Brink's affiliates. • Our bolivar-denominated net monetary assets included in our consolidated balance sheets have declined. Our bolivar-denominated net monetary assets were $9.5 million (including $6.2 million of cash and cash equivalents) at December 31, 2015 , and $23.5 million (including $12.6 million of cash and cash equivalents) at December 31, 2014 . • Accumulated other comprehensive losses attributable to Brink’s shareholders related to our operations in Venezuela were approximately $113 million at December 31, 2015 and at December 31, 2014 . On February 17, 2016, the Venezuelan government announced that they would allow the SIMADI rate to float freely. As of February 24, 2016, the SIMADI rate was approximately 205 bolivars to the dollar. Impairment of Long-lived Assets in Venezuela During the second quarter of 2015, Brink's elected to evaluate and pursue strategic options for the Venezuelan business. Our consideration of these strategic options is ongoing and, during the second quarter of 2015, required us to perform an impairment review of the carrying values of our Venezuelan long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment . Our asset impairment analysis included management's best estimate of associated cash flows relating to the long-lived assets and included fair value assumptions that reflect conditions that exist in a volatile economic environment. Future events or actions relative to our Venezuelan business may result in further adjustments. As a result of our impairment analysis, we recognized a $35.3 million impairment charge in 2015. The carrying value of the long-lived assets of our Venezuelan operations is $6.4 million at December 31, 2015 . We have not reclassified any of the $113 million of accumulated other comprehensive losses attributable to Brink’s shareholders related to our operations in Venezuela into earnings. Argentina We use the official exchange rate to translate the Brink's Argentina balance sheet and income statement. During 2015, the official exchange rate ranged from 8.5 to 9.8 local pesos to the U.S. dollar until December 17, 2015 when the currency was devalued. At December 31, 2015 , the official exchange rate was 12.9 local pesos to the U.S. dollar. The government in Argentina had periodically imposed limits on the exchange of local pesos into U.S. dollars. As a result, we elected to repatriate cash from Argentina using different means to convert Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars. Conversions prior to the December 17, 2015 devaluation had settled at rates approximately 30% to 40% less favorable than the rates at which we translated the financial statements of our subsidiary in Argentina. After the currency was devalued, we completed a conversion transaction at a rate approximately 10% less favorable than the newly devalued rate. See note 19 Supplemental cash flow information for more information. We recognized losses from converting local pesos into U.S. dollars of $7.1 million in 2015 and $3.6 million in 2014. These conversion losses are classified in the consolidated statements of operations as other operating income (expense). At December 31, 2015 , we had cash and short term investments denominated in local pesos of $10.9 million . Concentration of Credit Risks We routinely assess the financial strength of significant customers and this assessment, combined with the large number and geographic diversity of our customers, limits our concentration of risk with respect to accounts receivable. Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risks are principally cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. Cash and cash equivalents are held by major financial institutions. Use of Estimates In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The most significant estimates are related to goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets, pension and other retirement benefit assets and obligations, legal contingencies, deferred tax assets, purchase price allocations and foreign currency translation. Fair-value estimates. We have various financial instruments included in our financial statements. Financial instruments are carried in our financial statements at either cost or fair value. We estimate fair value of assets using the following hierarchy using the highest level possible: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. New Accounting Standards In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs . Under ASU 2015-03, certain debt issuance costs reported as assets must be reclassified and shown as direct adjustments to the reported debt liability. We elected to early adopt this ASU as of December 31, 2015 using the retrospective transition method. In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its Equivalent). This new standard eliminates the requirement to categorize investments in the fair value hierarchy if their fair values are measured at net asset value per share (or its equivalent) using the practical expedient in the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance. This new standard impacted our fair value disclosures related to retirement benefit plan investments. We elected to early adopt this ASU as of December 31, 2015 using the retrospective transition method. As a result, the fair value hierarchy presentation as reported at December 31, 2014 has been updated to reflect this guidance. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . This new standard requires that all deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities shall be classified as noncurrent. We elected to early adopt this ASU as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2015 using the prospective transition method. In our December 31, 2015 balance sheet, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are reported as noncurrent as prescribed by the prospective transition method. We have not adjusted the classification of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities in our December 31, 2014 balance sheet. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts with Customers , a new standard related to revenue recognition which requires an entity to recognize an amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods and services to customers. The new standard will replace most of the existing revenue recognition standards in U.S. GAAP. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of this new standard to January 1, 2018. The new standard can be applied retrospectively to each reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the change recognized at the date of the initial application in retained earnings. We are assessing the potential impact of this new standard on financial reporting and have not yet selected a transition method.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment information	Segment Information We identify our operating segments based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) allocates resources, assesses performance and makes decisions. Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources to each operating segment based on operating profit or loss, excluding income and expenses not allocated to segments. Effective December 2014, we reorganized the majority of Brink’s country operations under two business units: Largest 5 Markets (including U.S., France, Mexico, Brazil and Canada), and Global Markets (for the country operations outside the Largest 5 Markets). Country operations typically provide Cash-in-Transit (“CIT”) Services, ATM Services, Cash Management Services and Global Services. Reporting lines within these two business units are supplemented by a matrixed, centralized management of the Global Services operations. The Payment Services business has a centralized organizational structure. As a result of this reorganization, beginning in 2014, we report financial results in the following nine operating segments: • Each of the five countries within Largest 5 Markets (U.S., France, Mexico, Brazil and Canada) • Each of the three regions within Global Markets (Latin America, EMEA and Asia) • Payment Services When reviewing segment operating results for the first quarter of 2015, the CODM determined that it was no longer useful to include the operations of Venezuela in the evaluation of the results for the Global Markets - Latin America segment. Accordingly, the Company changed the composition of its reportable segments effective January 1, 2015 to exclude the Venezuela business. The Venezuela operations are now reported as part of other items not allocated to segments for all periods presented. This change in the Company’s segment composition and segment performance measure provides the CODM with information to effectively assess segment performance and to make resource and allocation decisions. In addition, the removal of Venezuela from the Latin America segment provides our investors with an understanding of segment results that aligns with management’s view of the business, which is consistent with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting . We currently serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 41 countries where we operate subsidiaries. The primary services of the reportable segments include: • CIT Services – armored vehicle transportation of valuables • ATM Services – replenishing and maintaining customers’ automated teller machines; providing network infrastructure services • Global Services – secure international transportation of valuables • Cash Management Services ◦ Currency and coin counting and sorting; deposit preparation and reconciliations; other cash management services ◦ Safe and safe control device installation and servicing (including our patented CompuSafe ® service) ◦ Check and cash processing services for banking customers (“Virtual Vault Services”) ◦ Check imaging services for banking customers • Payment Services – bill payment and processing services on behalf of utility companies and other billers at any of our Brink’s or Brink’s operated payment locations in Latin America and Brink’s Money™ general purpose reloadable prepaid cards and payroll cards in the U.S. • Guarding Services – protection of airports, offices, and certain other locations in Europe with or without electronic surveillance, access control, fire prevention and highly trained patrolling personnel Revenues Operating Profit (Loss) Years Ended December 31, Years Ended December 31, (In millions) 2015 2014 2013 2015 2014 2013 Reportable Segments: U.S. $ 730.4 727.8 707.5 $ 15.1 22.8 12.8 France 431.5 517.4 517.6 34.7 39.4 44.5 Mexico 333.0 388.2 423.9 24.2 9.6 26.9 Brazil 270.4 364.1 354.4 23.8 34.2 41.1 Canada 153.7 179.7 191.4 10.7 12.8 10.5 Largest 5 Markets 1,919.0 2,177.2 2,194.8 108.5 118.8 135.8 Latin America 369.9 380.6 407.1 76.3 50.4 59.6 EMEA 444.7 556.3 540.6 35.7 52.5 47.0 Asia 157.4 139.8 134.2 28.7 23.1 21.0 Global Markets 972.0 1,076.7 1,081.9 140.7 126.0 127.6 Payment Services 85.9 96.6 54.8 (7.2 ) (4.9 ) 1.0 Total reportable segments 2,976.9 3,350.5 3,331.5 242.0 239.9 264.4 Reconciling Items: Corporate items: General, administrative and other expenses — — — (81.0 ) (110.8 ) (117.7 ) Foreign currency transaction losses — — — (8.8 ) (2.6 ) (2.4 ) Reconciliation of segment policies to GAAP — — — 4.6 (2.3 ) 2.7 Other items not allocated to segments: Venezuela operations 84.5 211.8 447.1 (47.7 ) (97.9 ) 65.7 Reorganization and Restructuring — — — (15.3 ) (21.8 ) — U.S. and Mexican retirement plans — — — (31.2 ) (79.0 ) (55.3 ) Acquisitions and dispositions — — — (6.0 ) 49.4 5.8 Share-based compensation adj. — — — — (2.4 ) — Total $ 3,061.4 3,562.3 3,778.6 $ 56.6 (27.5 ) 163.2 See "Other Items Not Allocated to Segment" on pages 30–31 to the consolidated financial statements for explanations of each of the other items not allocated to segments.

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Retirement Benefits	Retirement Benefits Defined-benefit Pension Plans Summary We have various defined-benefit pension plans covering eligible current and former employees. Benefits under most plans are based on salary and years of service. There are limits to the amount of benefits which can be paid to participants from a U.S. qualified pension plan. We maintain a nonqualified U.S. plan to pay benefits for those eligible current and former employees in the U.S. whose benefits exceed the regulatory limits. Pension benefits provided to eligible U.S. employees were frozen on December 31, 2005.

These amounts are included in loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and as such are not included in amortization of losses in net periodic postretirement cost. Approximately $28.9 million of experience loss and $0.1 million of prior service cost are expected to be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net periodic pension cost during 2016 . The net experience losses in 2015 were primarily due to actual return on assets being lower than expected, partially offset by a higher U.S. plans discount rate at the end of the year compared to the prior year. The net experience losses in 2014 (the majority attributed to the U.S. plans) were primarily due to the lower discount rates at the end of the year compared to the prior year and the adoption of new mortality tables for U.S. plans, partially offset by a gain from a lump-sum buy-out (see “2014 Lump-sum Buy-out” below) and the actual return on assets being higher than expected. Information Comparing Plan Assets to Plan Obligations Information comparing plan assets to plan obligations as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 are aggregated below. The accumulated benefit obligation (“ABO”) differs from the PBO in that the ABO is based on the benefit earned through the date noted. The PBO includes assumptions about future compensation levels for plans that have not been frozen. The total ABO for our U.S. pension plans was $844.8 million in 2015 and $904.1 million in 2014 . The total ABO for our Non-U.S. pension plans was $226.5 million in 2015 and $242.9 million in 2014 . (In millions) U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans Total December 31, 2015 2014 2015 2014 2015 2014 Information for pension plans with an ABO in excess of plan assets: Fair value of plan assets $ 721.4 786.3 47.7 45.6 769.1 831.9 Accumulated benefit obligation 844.8 904.1 111.9 111.9 956.7 1,016.0 Projected benefit obligation 844.8 904.1 135.2 137.0 980.0 1,041.1 2014 Lump-sum Buy-out The primary U.S. pension plan made an offer to buy out certain plan participants’ pension benefits in 2014 and approximately 4,300 accepted. The pension plan settled the buy-out in the fourth quarter of 2014. After the settlement, there were approximately 15,200 beneficiaries in the plans. We recognized a $56.1 million settlement loss as a result of the buy-out in 2014. We also recognized a $40 million benefit plan experience gain arising during 2014 in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as the obligation released was more than the cash benefit payments from the plan assets. Assumptions Discount rates The weighted-average assumptions used in determining the net pension cost and benefit obligations for our pension plans were as follows: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans 2015 2014 2013 2015 2014 2013 Discount rate: Pension cost 4.1 % 5.0 % 4.2 % 5.1 % 6.3 % 5.3 % Benefit obligation at year end 4.5 % 4.1 % 5.0 % 5.1 % 5.1 % 6.3 % Expected return on assets – pension cost 7.50 % 8.00 % 8.00 % 5.58 % 5.83 % 4.64 % Average rate of increase in salaries (a): Pension cost N/A N/A N/A 3.9 % 3.9 % 3.8 % Benefit obligation at year end N/A N/A N/A 3.8 % 3.9 % 3.9 % (a) Salary scale assumptions are determined through historical experience and vary by age and industry. The U.S. plan benefits are frozen. Pension benefits will not increase due to future salary increases. Mortality Tables for our U.S. Retirement Benefits The Society of Actuaries ("SOA") issued new mortality base tables (“RP-2014”) and a longevity improvement scale (“MP-2014”) in October of 2014, superseding the ones developed in 2000. The new tables reflect that people in the U.S. are living significantly longer than predicted in the 2000 tables. We adopted the Mercer modified RP-2014 base table and Mercer modified MP-2014 projection scale, with Blue Collar adjustments for the majority of our U.S. retirement plans, and with White Collar adjustments for our nonqualified U.S. pension plan as of December 31, 2014. In October 2015, the SOA issued the MP-2015 mortality projection scale. This did not have any impact on our obligations as the changes in the MP-2015 projection scale were anticipated and already reflected in the Mercer modified MP-2014 projection scale. Estimated Future Cash Flows Estimated Future Contributions from the Company into Plan Assets Our policy is to fund at least the minimum actuarially determined amounts required by applicable regulations. We do not expect to make contributions to our primary U.S. pension plan in 2016 . We expect to contribute $11.4 million to our non-U.S. pension plans and $0.6 million to our nonqualified U.S. pension plan in 2016 . Estimated Future Benefit Payments from Plan Assets to Beneficiaries Projected benefit payments of the plans in the next 10 years using assumptions in effect at December 31, 2015 , are as follows: (In millions) U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans Total 2016 $ 49.7 10.5 60.2 2017 50.5 10.9 61.4 2018 50.7 11.9 62.6 2019 51.7 14.1 65.8 2020 51.5 15.6 67.1 2021 through 2025 259.6 146.3 405.9 Retirement Benefits Other than Pensions Summary We provide retirement healthcare benefits for eligible current and former U.S., Canadian, and Brazilian employees. Retirement benefits related to our former U.S. coal operation include medical benefits provided by the Pittston Coal Group Companies Employee Benefit Plan for UMWA Represented Employees (the “UMWA plans”) as well as costs related to black lung obligations. Components of Net Periodic Postretirement Cost The components of net periodic postretirement cost related to retirement benefits other than pensions were as follows: (In millions) UMWA Plans Black Lung and Other Plans (a) Total Years Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 2015 2014 2013 2015 2014 2013 Service cost $ — — — $ 0.2 0.1 0.3 $ 0.2 0.1 0.3 Interest cost on APBO 17.1 17.9 19.7 2.8 2.3 1.9 19.9 20.2 21.6 Return on assets – expected (20.6 ) (22.2 ) (20.8 ) — — — (20.6 ) (22.2 ) (20.8 ) Amortization of losses 15.5 12.3 19.6 3.1 0.6 0.7 18.6 12.9 20.3 Amortization of prior service cost (credit) (4.6 ) (4.6 ) — 1.8 1.7 1.7 (2.8 ) (2.9 ) 1.7 Curtailment (gain) — — — (0.1 ) — — (0.1 ) — — Net periodic postretirement cost $ 7.4 3.4 18.5 $ 7.8 4.7 4.6 $ 15.2 8.1 23.1 (a) Includes net periodic postretirement cost related to non-U.S. plans of $1.1 million in 2015 , $0.7 million in 2014 , and $0.7 million in 2013 .

We recognized net experience losses in 2015 associated with the UMWA obligations primarily due to the return on assets being lower than expected, partially offset by a higher discount rate. We recognized net experience gains in 2015 associated with the black lung and other plans primarily related to a higher discount rate. We recognized net experience losses in 2014 associated with the UMWA obligations primarily related to the adoption of new mortality tables, a lower discount rate, and the return on assets being lower than expected. We recognized net experience losses in 2014 associated with the black lung and other plans primarily related to an increase in the estimated administrative costs to be incurred by the plans in the future, a lower discount rate and the adoption of new mortality tables. Assumptions See Adoption of New Mortality Tables for our U.S. Retirement Benefits on page 83 for a description of the mortality assumptions. Discount rates The APBO for each of the plans was determined using the unit credit method and an assumed discount rate as follows: 2015 2014 2013 Weighted-average discount rate: Postretirement cost: UMWA plans 4.0 % 4.7 % 3.9 % Black lung 3.7 % 4.4 % 3.5 % Weighted-average 4.1 % 4.7 % 3.9 % Benefit obligation at year end: UMWA plans 4.4 % 4.0 % 4.7 % Black lung 4.2 % 3.7 % 4.4 % Weighted-average 4.4 % 4.1 % 4.7 % Expected return on assets 8.25 % 8.25 % 8.25 % Healthcare Cost Trend Rates For UMWA plans, the assumed healthcare cost trend rate used to compute the 2015 APBO is 7.0% for 2016 , declining to 5.0% in 2022 and thereafter (in 2014 : 7.0% for 2015 declining to 5.0% in 2021 and thereafter). For the black lung obligation, the assumed healthcare cost trend rate used to compute the 2015 APBO was 5.0% . Other plans in the U.S. provide for fixed-dollar value coverage for eligible participants and, accordingly, are not adjusted for inflation. For the Canadian plan, the assumed healthcare cost trend rate used to compute the 2015 APBO is 7.0% for 2016 , declining to 5.0% in 2022 . For the Brazilian plan, the assumed healthcare cost trend rate used to compute the 2015 APBO is 3.0% . The table below shows the estimated effects of a one percentage-point change in the assumed healthcare cost trend rates for each future year. Effect of Change in Assumed Healthcare Trend Rates (In millions) Increase 1% Decrease 1% Higher (lower): Service and interest cost in 2015 $ 2.2 (1.9 ) APBO at December 31, 2015 51.3 (43.5 ) The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Medicare Act”) provides for a prescription drug benefit under Medicare as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree healthcare benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare prescription drug benefits. Because of the broadness of coverage provided under our UMWA plans, we believe that the plans' benefits are at least actuarially equivalent to the Medicare benefits. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we changed the way we provide healthcare benefits to our UMWA retirees who are eligible for the Medicare Act subsidy reimbursement. We changed from a self-insured welfare benefit plan to an employer group waiver plan (“EGWP”). Under this new arrangement, a government approved health insurance provider receives the Medicare Act subsidy reimbursement on our behalf and passes these savings to us. Additionally, by moving to an EGWP, we were be able to benefit from the mandatory 50% discount that pharmaceutical companies must provide for Medicare Act-eligible prescription drugs. The combined savings of the subsidy and the 50% discount were recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in 2013 as prior service credit, reducing the UMWA APBO. Excise Tax on Administrators by Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 A 40% excise tax on third-party benefit plan administrators by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will be imposed on high-cost health plans (“Cadillac plans”) beginning in 2020. We are currently unable to reduce the benefit levels of our UMWA medical plans to avoid this excise tax because these benefit levels are required by the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992. We have assumed that the cost of the excise tax paid by administrators will be passed through to us in the form of higher premiums or higher claims administration fees, increasing our obligations. We project that we will have to pay the benefits plan administrator this excise tax beginning in 2020, and our plan obligations at December 31, 2015 , include $15.1 million related to this tax ( $24.8 million at December 31, 2014 ). Cash Flows Estimated Contributions from the Company to Plan Assets Based on the funded status and assumptions at December 31, 2015 , we expect the Company to contribute $6.3 million in cash to the plans to pay 2016 beneficiary payments for black lung and other plans. We do not expect to contribute cash to our UMWA plans in 2016 since we believe these plans have sufficient amounts held in trust to pay for beneficiary payments until 2027 based on actuarial assumptions. Our UMWA plans are not covered by ERISA or other funding laws or regulations that require these plans to meet funding ratios. Estimated Future Benefit Payments from Plan Assets to Beneficiaries Projected benefit payments of the plans in the next 10 years using assumptions in effect at December 31, 2015 , are as follows: (In millions) UMWA Plans Black Lung and Other Plans Total 2016 $ 30.9 6.3 37.2 2017 31.2 5.9 37.1 2018 31.1 5.6 36.7 2019 30.8 5.2 36.0 2020 31.7 4.9 36.6 2021 through 2025 141.8 19.6 161.4 Retirement Plan Assets U.S. Plans December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014 (In millions, except for percentages) Fair Value Level Total Fair Value % Actual Allocation % Target Allocation Total Fair Value % Actual Allocation % Target Allocation U.S. Pension Plans Cash, cash equivalents and receivables $ 4.2 1 — 4.1 1 — Equity securities: U.S. large-cap (a) 1 80.1 11 12 93.1 12 12 U.S. small/mid-cap (a) 1 30.0 4 5 40.2 5 5 International (a) 1 66.1 9 10 72.6 9 10 Emerging markets (b) 1 8.6 1 2 13.8 2 2 Dynamic asset allocation (c) 1 23.9 4 4 33.7 4 4 U.S. managed volatility equities (n) 1 — — 5 — — — Fixed-income securities: Long duration - mutual fund (d) 1 290.0 50 48 277.6 47 48 Long duration - Treasury strips (d) 2 71.7 95.7 High yield (e) 1 9.0 1 2 15.3 2 2 Emerging markets (f) 1 9.0 1 2 14.5 2 2 Other types of investments: Hedge fund of funds (g) (m) 36.6 5 — 37.9 5 5 Core property (h) (m) 51.5 7 5 45.0 6 5 Structured credit (i) (m) 40.7 6 5 42.8 5 5 Total $ 721.4 100 100 786.3 100 100 UMWA Plans Cash, cash equivalents and receivables $ 1.6 1 — — — — Equity securities: U.S. large-cap (a) 1 47.5 21 22 58.5 21 21 U.S. small/mid-cap (a) 1 20.2 9 10 25.5 10 9 International (a) 1 40.5 18 19 49.3 19 18 Emerging markets (b) 1 9.0 4 4 10.7 4 4 Dynamic asset allocation (c) 1 15.9 7 7 20.0 8 7 Fixed-income securities: High yield (e) 1 6.9 3 2 10.9 4 4 Emerging markets (f) 1 9.0 4 4 10.4 4 4 Multi asset real return (j) 1 14.7 6 5 21.6 8 8 Other types of investments: Hedge fund of funds (g) (m) 6.4 3 — 14.6 6 3 Core property (h) (m) 32.9 14 10 28.8 11 10 Structured credit (i) (m) 13.6 6 5 14.3 5 5 Global private equity (k) (m) 3.2 1 7 — — 7 Energy debt (l) (m) 6.0 3 5 — — — Total $ 227.4 100 100 264.6 100 100 (a) These categories include passively managed U.S. large-cap mutual funds and actively managed U.S. small/mid-cap and international mutual funds that track various indices such as the S&P 500 Index, the Russell 2500 Index and the MSCI All Country World Ex-U.S. Index. (b) This category represents an actively managed mutual fund that invests primarily in equity securities of emerging market issuers. Emerging market countries are those countries that are characterized as developing or emerging by any of the World Bank, the United Nations, the International Finance Corporation, or the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development or included in an emerging markets index by a recognized index provider. (c) This category represents an actively managed mutual fund that seeks to generate total return over time by selecting investments from among a broad range of asset classes. The fund’s allocations among asset classes may be adjusted over short periods and can vary from multiple to a single asset class. (d) This category represents actively managed mutual funds that seek to duplicate the risk and return characteristics of a long-term fixed-income security portfolio with approximate duration of 10 years and longer by using a long duration bond portfolio. This category also includes Treasury future contracts and zero -coupon securities created by the U.S. Treasury. (e) This category represents an actively managed mutual fund that invests primarily in fixed-income securities rated below investment grade, including corporate bonds and debentures, convertible and preferred securities and zero-coupon obligations. The fund’s average weighted maturity may vary and will generally not exceed ten years. (f) This category represents an actively managed mutual fund that invests primarily in U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities of government, government-related and corporate issuers in emerging market countries, as well as entities organized to restructure the outstanding debt of such issuers. (g) This category represents an actively managed hedge fund of funds. The fund holds approximately 30 separate hedge-fund investments. Strategies included (1) long-short equity, (2) event-driven and distressed-debt, (3) global macro, (4) credit hedging, (5) multi-strategy, and (6) fixed-income arbitrage. Its investment objective is to seek to achieve an attractive risk-adjusted return with moderate volatility and moderate directional market exposure over a full market cycle. (h) This category represents an actively managed real estate fund of funds that seeks both current income and long-term capital appreciation through investing in underlying funds that acquire, manage, and dispose of commercial real estate properties. These properties are high-quality, low-leveraged, income-generating office, industrial, retail, and multi-family properties, generally fully-leased to creditworthy companies and governmental entities. (i) This category invests primarily in a diversified portfolio comprised primarily of collateralized loan obligations and other structured credit investments backed primarily by bank loans. (j) This category represents an actively managed mutual fund that invests primarily in fixed income and equity securities and commodity linked instruments. The category seeks total returns that exceed the rate of inflation over a full market cycle regardless of market conditions. (k) This category will offer exposure to a diversified pool of global private assets fund investments. Further, the category will seek to shorten the duration of the typical private assets fund of funds through a dedicated focus on secondary strategies (i.e. funds whose investment strategy is to purchase interests in other private market investments/funds as a way to provide the original investors liquidity prior to the end of those investments’/funds’ contracted end date), income-producing investment strategies (e.g. debt, real estate, and to a lesser extent, real assets), and underlying funds whose stated life is five to seven years, as opposed to the more typical 10 -year life of private assets funds. (l) This category invests in credit securities of commodity oriented companies affected by the dislocation in the commodity markets with the investment objective of producing an equity like return with less downside risk than equity or commodity investments. The fund has a three year lock on each investment and semi-annual redemptions. 50% of the fund balance is redeemable in the first redemption period following the end of the lock up and then 25% of the fund balance in each of the next two redemptions periods. (m) In accordance with Subtopic 820-10, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets. (n) The U.S. managed volatility fund seeks capital appreciation with lower volatility than the broad U.S. equity market. The Fund will typically invest in equity securities of U.S. companies of all capitalization ranges that exhibit low relative volatility. Over the long term, the Fund is expected to achieve a return similar to that of the Russell 3000 Index with a lower level of volatility. Assets of our U.S. plans are invested with an objective of maximizing the total return, taking into consideration the liabilities of the plan, and minimizing the risks that could create the need for excessive contributions. Plan assets are invested primarily using actively managed accounts with asset allocation targets listed in the tables above. Our policy does not permit the purchase of Brink’s common stock if immediately after any such purchase the aggregate fair market value of the plan assets invested in Brink’s common stock exceeds 10% of the aggregate fair market value of the assets of the plan, except as permitted by an exemption under ERISA. The plans rebalance their assets on a quarterly basis if actual allocations of assets are outside predetermined ranges. Among other factors, the performance of asset groups and investment managers will affect the long-term rate of return. The pension plan acquired the structured-credit investment in 2013. The investment is subject to a two -year lockup provision, which expired in 2015. The UMWA plans acquired the structured-credit investment in 2014. The investment is subject to a two -year lockup provision, which will expire in 2016. The UMWA plans also acquired the energy debt investment in 2015, which is subject to a three -year lockup provision, which will expire in 2018. Most of the investments of our U.S. retirement plans can be redeemed daily. The core-property and structured-credit investments can be redeemed quarterly with 65 days’ notice. The hedge fund of funds investment can be redeemed quarterly with 95 days’ notice. The energy debt investment can be redeemed semi-annually with 95 days' notice. The global private equity investment cannot be redeemed due to the nature of the underlying investments. As the global private equity investment matures and becomes fully invested, liquidating distributions will be provided back to investors. We expect to receive liquidating distributions over the stated life of the underlying investments. We have $18 million in unfunded commitments related to the global private equity investment. We believe all plans have sufficient liquidity to meet the needs of the plans' beneficiaries in all market scenarios.

Some of these funds use a dynamic asset allocation investment strategy seeking to generate total return over time by selecting investments from among a broad range of asset classes, investing primarily through the use of derivatives. (b) This category represents investment-grade fixed income debt securities of European issuers from diverse industries. (c) This category seeks to achieve a return that exceeds the Scotia Capital Markets Universe Bond Index. (d) This category is designed to generate income and exhibit volatility similar to that of the Sterling denominated bond market. This category primarily invests in investment grade or better securities. (e) This category consists of global high-yield bonds. This category invests in lower rated and unrated fixed income, floating rate and other debt securities issued by European and American companies. (f) This category consists of a diversified portfolio of debt securities issued by governments, financial institutions, companies or other entities domiciled in emerging market countries. (g) This category is designed to achieve a return consistent with holding longer term debt instruments. This category invests in interest rate and inflation derivatives, government-issued bonds, real-return bonds, and futures contracts. Asset allocation strategies for our non-U.S. plans are designed to accumulate a diversified portfolio among markets and asset classes in order to reduce market risk and increase the likelihood that pension assets are available to pay benefits as they are due. Assets of non-U.S. pension plans are invested primarily using actively managed accounts. The weighted-average asset allocation targets are listed in the table above, and reflect limitations on types of investments held and allocations among assets classes, as required by local regulation or market practice of the country where the assets are invested. Most of the investments of our non-U.S. retirement plans can be redeemed at least monthly, except for a portion of “Other” in the above table, which can be redeemed quarterly.

Years Ended December 31, (In percentages) 2015 2014 2013 U.S. federal tax rate 35.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % Increases (reductions) in taxes due to: Venezuela devaluation 61.3 (86.3 ) — Tax on accelerated U.S. income (a) 57.3 — — Adjustments to valuation allowances 18.9 (16.9 ) 4.2 Foreign income taxes (18.2 ) (0.7 ) (6.7 ) Medicare subsidy for retirement plans — — (1.1 ) French business tax 8.9 (9.0 ) 3.2 Taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign affiliates (1.2 ) (3.7 ) (0.1 ) State income taxes, net (4.1 ) 5.2 (0.1 ) Other 3.9 1.5 0.9 Actual income tax rate on continuing operations 161.8 % (74.9 )% 35.3 % (a) In the fourth quarter of 2015, we recognized a $23.5 million increase to current tax expense related to a transaction that accelerated U.S. taxable income. Components of Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities December 31, (In millions) 2015 2014 Deferred tax assets Pension liabilities $ 76.4 74.2 Retirement benefits other than pensions 79.4 77.8 Workers’ compensation and other claims 41.2 42.4 Property and equipment, net 2.5 4.1 Other assets and liabilities 120.6 135.2 Net operating loss carryforwards 37.1 47.4 Alternative minimum and other tax credits (a) 47.5 46.7 Subtotal 404.7 427.8 Valuation allowances (45.7 ) (40.1 ) Total deferred tax assets 359.0 387.7 Deferred tax liabilities Retirement benefits other than pensions 1.0 — Other assets and miscellaneous 36.3 38.9 Deferred tax liabilities 37.3 38.9 Net deferred tax asset $ 321.7 348.8 Included in: Current assets $ — 71.9 Noncurrent assets 329.8 289.5 Current liabilities — (1.8 ) Noncurrent liabilities (8.1 ) (10.8 ) Net deferred tax asset $ 321.7 348.8 (a) U.S. alternative minimum tax credits of $32.5 million have an unlimited carryforward period, U.S. foreign tax credits of $12.3 million have a 10 year carryforward period and the remaining credits of $2.7 million have various carryforward periods. The U.S. foreign tax credits have a $10.4 million valuation allowance. Valuation Allowances Valuation allowances relate to deferred tax assets for certain federal credit carryforwards, certain state and non-U.S. jurisdictions. Based on our analysis of positive and negative evidence including historical and expected future taxable earnings, and a consideration of available tax-planning strategies, we believe it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefit of the existing deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, at December 31, 2015 . Years Ended December 31, (In millions) 2015 2014 2013 Valuation allowances: Beginning of year $ 40.1 32.4 47.4 Expiring tax credits (0.3 ) (0.5 ) (1.8 ) Acquisitions and dispositions — (1.0 ) (32.7 ) Changes in judgment about deferred tax assets (a) 1.5 1.9 (0.2 ) Other changes in deferred tax assets, charged to: Income from continuing operations 8.4 6.3 6.1 Income from discontinued operations — 3.3 12.6 Other comprehensive income (loss) 0.3 0.6 — Foreign currency exchange effects (4.3 ) (2.9 ) 1.0 End of year $ 45.7 40.1 32.4 (a) Changes in judgment about valuation allowances are based on a recognition threshold of “more-likely-than-not.” Amounts are based on beginning-of-year balances of deferred tax assets that could potentially be realized in future years. Amounts are recognized in income from continuing operations. Undistributed Foreign Earnings As of December 31, 2015 , we have not recorded U.S. federal deferred income taxes on approximately $126 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and equity affiliates. We expect that these earnings will be permanently reinvested in operations outside the U.S. It is not practical to determine the income tax liability that might be incurred if all such income was remitted to the U.S. due to the inherent complexities associated with any hypothetical calculation, which would be dependent upon the exact form of repatriation. Net Operating Losses The gross amount of the net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2015 , was $326.2 million . The tax benefit of net operating loss carryforwards, before valuation allowances, as of December 31, 2015 , was $37.1 million , and expires as follows: (In millions) Federal State Foreign Total Years of expiration 2016-2020 $ — 0.1 3.0 3.1 2021-2025 — 0.3 12.5 12.8 2026 and thereafter — 12.3 0.8 13.1 No expiration — — 8.1 8.1 $ — 12.7 24.4 37.1 Uncertain Tax Positions A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: Years Ended December 31, (In millions) 2015 2014 2013 Uncertain tax positions: Beginning of year $ 7.2 10.8 11.8 Increases related to prior-year tax positions — 0.4 0.1 Decreases related to prior-year tax positions (0.3 ) — — Increases related to current-year tax positions 1.1 1.1 2.3 Settlements — — (0.7 ) Effect of the expiration of statutes of limitation (0.7 ) (1.3 ) (3.4 ) Decrease related to dispositions — (1.0 ) — Foreign currency exchange effects (0.4 ) (2.8 ) 0.7 End of year $ 6.9 7.2 10.8 Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2015 , are potential benefits of approximately $6.1 million that, if recognized, will reduce the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations. We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in provision (benefit) for income taxes. We reverse interest and penalties accruals when a statute of limitation lapses or when we otherwise conclude the amounts should not be accrued. Net reversals included in provision (benefit) for income taxes were ($0.1) million in 2015 , ($0.6) million in 2014 , and ($1.1) million in 2013 . We had accrued interest and penalties of $1.0 million at December 31, 2015 , and $1.3 million at December 31, 2014 . We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With a few exceptions, as of December 31, 2015 , we were no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012 . Additionally, due to statute of limitations expirations and audit settlements, it is reasonably possible that approximately $0.8 million of currently remaining unrecognized tax positions may be recognized by the end of 2016.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Investments in Available-for-sale Securities 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. Fixed-Rate Debt The fair value and carrying value of our fixed-rate debt are as follows: December 31, (In millions) 2015 2014 Unsecured notes issued in a private placement Carrying value $ 92.9 100.0 Fair value 95.7 105.6 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 2015 . 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 foreign currency forward and swap 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 contracts at December 31, 2015 , were not significant. At December 31, 2015 , the fair value of the cross-currency swap was an asset of $7.1 million . There were no transfers in or out of any of the levels of the valuation hierarchy in 2015 .

The Revolving Facility’s interest rate is based on LIBOR plus a margin or an 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 December 31, 2015 , $362 million was available under the Revolving Facility. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility, as of December 31, 2015 , were denominated primarily in U.S. dollars and to a lesser extent in euros. The margin on LIBOR borrowings under the Revolving Facility, which can range from 1.0% to 1.70% depending on our credit rating, was 1.30% at December 31, 2015 . The margin on alternate base rate borrowings under the Revolving Facility can range from 0.0% to 0.70% . We also pay an annual facility fee on the Revolving Facility based on our credit rating or our leverage ratio . The facility fee can range from 0.125% to 0.30% and was 0.20% at December 31, 2015 . Private Placement Notes We have principal of $93 million in unsecured notes through a private placement debt transaction (the “Notes”). The Notes comprise $43 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% . Annual principal payments under the series A notes began in January 2015 and continue through maturity. The series B notes are due in January 2021 . Term Loan In March 2015 , we entered into a $75 million unsecured term loan facility. Interest on this facility is based on LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75% . Monthly principal payments began April 2015 and continue through to maturity, with the remaining balance of $33.7 million due in March 2022 . As of December 31, 2015 , the principal amount outstanding is $71 million . Other Facilities As of December 31, 2015 , we had two unsecured multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities with a total of $40 million in available credit, of which approximately $33 million was available at December 31, 2015 . A $20 million facility is scheduled to expire at the end of February 2016 and we plan to renew in the first quarter of 2016. 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’ 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 $25 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 December 31, 2015 , $20 million was available under the facility. In June 2015 , we entered into a $40 million uncommitted letter of credit facility with an expiration date of May 2016 . As of December 31, 2015 , $5 million was utilized. We have two unsecured letter of credit facilities totaling $94 million , of which approximately $23 million was available at December 31, 2015 . A $54 million facility expires in December 2016 and a $40 million facility expires in December 2018 . The Revolving Facility and the multi-currency revolving credit facilities are also used for issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees.

The financial covenants, among other things, limit our total indebtedness, restrict certain payments to shareholders, limit priority debt, limit asset sales,limit the use of proceeds from asset sales, provide for a maximum leverage ratio 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 December 31, 2015 . At December 31, 2015 , we had undrawn letters of credit and guarantees of $70.7 million issued under the letter of credit facilities and $7.3 million issued under the multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities. These letters of credit primarily support our obligations under various self-insurance programs and credit facilities.

Operating Leases	Operating Leases We lease facilities, vehicles, computers and other equipment under long-term operating and capital leases with varying terms. Most of the operating leases contain renewal and/or purchase options. We expect that in the normal course of business, the majority of operating leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases. As of December 31, 2015 , future minimum lease payments under noncancellable operating leases with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year are included below.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation Plans	Share-Based Compensation Plans We have share-based compensation plans to retain employees and nonemployee directors and to more closely align their interests with those of our shareholders. We have granted share-based awards to employees under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. These plans 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 Plan effective in February 2013. No further grants of awards will be made under the 2005 Plan. We have granted deferred stock units to directors through the Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Plan. There are outstanding share-based awards granted to directors under plans that have expired, the Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan and the Directors’ Stock Accumulation Plan. There are 3.3 million shares underlying share-based plans that are authorized, but not yet granted. Outstanding awards at December 31, 2015 , include performance share units, market share units, restricted stock units, deferred stock units and stock options. Compensation Expense Compensation expense is measured using the fair-value-based method. For employee and director awards considered equity grants, compensation expense is recognized from the grant date to the earlier of the retirement-eligible date or the vesting date. The grant date for accounting purposes may be different than the date the award is granted to the employee. To establish a grant date for accounting purposes, the employee and the employer must have a mutual understanding of the important terms and conditions of the award. For awards considered liabilities and for equity awards that have not had a grant date established because a mutual understanding does not exist, compensation cost is based on the change in the fair value of the instrument for each reporting period and the percentage of the requisite service that has been rendered. Compensation expense related to deferred stock units granted to directors prior to 2014 was recognized in its entirety at the grant date. For deferred stock units granted to directors in 2014, compensation expense is recognized either in its entirety at the grant date or over a one year vesting period if the director elects to receive the units in shares after one year. For deferred stock units granted to directors in 2015, compensation expense is recognized over a one year vesting period. Compensation expenses are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Compensation expenses for the last three years and the amount of unrecognized expense for awards outstanding at December 31, 2015 , were as follows: Compensation Expense Unrecognized Expense for Nonvested Awards at Weighted-average No. of Years Unrecognized Expense to be Recognized Years Ended December 31, Dec 31, 2015 (in millions except years) 2015 2014 2013 Performance Share Units $ 8.1 6.8 4.0 $ 7.1 1.8 Market Share Units 2.3 1.6 1.8 1.4 2.0 Restricted Stock Units 3.2 6.0 3.1 2.8 1.5 Deferred Stock Units 0.5 0.6 0.5 0.2 0.4 Stock Options — 2.3 0.5 — 0.0 Share-based payment expense 14.1 17.3 9.9 Income tax benefit (4.6 ) (5.6 ) (3.4 ) Share-based payment expense, net of tax $ 9.5 11.7 6.5 Fair Value of Vested Awards The fair value of shares vested in the last three years is as follows: Fair Value of Shares Vested (a) Years Ended December 31, (in millions) 2015 2014 2013 Restricted Stock Units 5.3 4.1 4.1 Deferred Stock Units 0.2 0.3 — Stock Options 1.1 0.1 2.0 Total 6.6 4.5 6.1 (a) No Performance Share Units and no Market Share Units had vested as of December 31, 2015 . Intrinsic value for Stock Options. Recoupment Policy Change in 2014 For certain awards granted since 2010, we concluded in the second quarter of 2014 that the employee and employer did not have a mutual understanding related to the application of a compensation recoupment policy that was established in 2010. As a result, we concluded that the service inception date preceded the grant date for equity awards outstanding at that time. Our recoupment policy was revised in July 2014 and, as a result, we concluded that certain outstanding awards have grant dates that reflect the date of the revision of the policy on July 11, 2014. Approximately 130 employees who received share-based awards were affected by the change in policy. As a result, we recognized $4.2 million of expense during the second quarter of 2014 for the cumulative effect of this accounting error. Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) We granted RSUs to senior executives and select employees in the last three years . RSUs are paid out in shares of Brink’s stock when the awards vest. For RSUs granted during the last three years, the units generally vest ratably in three equal annual installments. We measure the fair value of RSU grants based on the price of Brink’s stock, adjusted for a discount for awards that do not receive or accrue dividends. The weighted-average fair value per share at issuance date was $27.09 in 2015 , $27.91 in 2014 and $26.17 in 2013 . The weighted-average discount was approximately 3% in 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . The following table summarizes RSU activity during 2015 : Shares (in thousands) Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2014 367.1 $ 25.87 Activity from January 1 to December 31, 2015: Granted 144.7 27.09 Forfeited (57.2 ) 26.05 Vested (181.6 ) 26.37 Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2015 273.0 $ 26.16 Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) We granted PSUs to senior executives and select employees in 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . PSUs typically vest over three years and are paid out in shares of Brink’s stock. The number of shares paid out ranges from 0% to 200% of an employee’s award, depending on the achievement of pre-established financial goals over the performance period, generally three years . Shares are not paid out if the financial results do not meet a pre-established threshold level of performance. The number of shares paid out is also affected by Brink’s total shareholder return relative to the total return of a pre-established stock index over the performance period. The number of shares paid out is increased by 25% if Brink’s total shareholder return is at or above the 75 th percentile of the index’s total return. The number of shares paid out is reduced by 25% if Brink’s performance is at or below the 25 th percentile. The number of shares is not adjusted if Brink’s performance is between the 25 th and 75 th percentile. Performance Goal Added in 2014 for the 2013 and 2014 PSU Grants. The performance goals for the 2013 and the 2014 PSU grants are based on consolidated operating profit over the performance period, which are adjusted for various items including corporate items, acquisition and dispositions, unusual or infrequently occurring events and foreign currency. In 2014, the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors approved a second performance goal for the PSU awards granted in 2013 and 2014 to reflect the change in currency exchange rate used to report the results of Venezuela because the rate changed significantly. After the conclusion of the performance period, the payout will be equal to the lower of the calculated payout under the two performance goals. Approximately 100 employees who received PSUs in 2013 and 2014 were affected by the change. No incremental compensation cost associated with the additional performance goal is expected to be recognized as the second goal is expected to be more difficult to achieve and, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation , we continue to recognize expense as calculated using the first performance goal. The following table summarizes all PSU activity during 2015 : Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2014 343.6 $ 24.06 Activity from January 1 to December 31, 2015: Granted 199.1 29.10 Forfeited (39.3 ) 25.69 Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2015 503.4 $ 25.93 The majority of PSUs granted contain a market condition in addition to a performance condition. We measure the fair value of these PSUs at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. A small portion of PSUs granted contain only performance conditions. We measure the fair value of these PSUs based on the price of Brink's stock at the grant date, as adjusted for a discount for dividends not received during the vesting period. The following table provides the terms and weighted average assumptions used in the valuation of those PSUs containing a market condition: Terms and Assumptions Used to Estimate Fair Value of PSUs PSUs Granted in 2015 PSUs Granted in 2014 PSUs Granted in 2013 Date of Measurement February 20, 2015 (a) July 11, 2014 (b) July 11, 2014 (b) Terms of awards: Performance period Jan. 1, 2015 to Jan. 1, 2014 to April 1, 2013 to Dec. 31, 2017 Dec. 31, 2016 Dec. 31, 2015 Beginning average price of Brink’s common stock $ 23.19 33.29 27.59 Assumptions used to estimate fair value: Expected dividend yield (c) — % — % — % Expected stock price volatility 30 % 32 % 28 % Risk-free interest rate 1.0 % 0.7 % 0.3 % Contractual term in years 2.8 2.5 1.5 Weighted-average fair value estimate per share $ 28.97 24.39 23.68 (a) Represents the date awards were granted to employee. (b) Represents the date the recoupment policy was amended (see Recoupment Policy Change in 2014 above) and an additional goal was added (see 2014 Additional Performance Goal for the 2013 and 2014 PSU Grants above). The employees and employer are deemed to have a mutual understanding of the terms of the award at this date. (c) PSUs are not entitled to dividends during the performance period. Market Share Units (“MSUs”) We granted MSUs to senior executives in 2015, 2014 and 2013. MSUs are paid out in shares of Brink’s stock when an award vests. MSUs reward the achievement of the appreciation of Brink’s stock over the performance period (generally three years) at a rate of 0% to 150% of the initial target number of shares awarded. The multiplier to the initial target number of MSUs awarded is calculated as the ratio of the price of Brink’s stock at the end of the performance period divided by the price of Brink’s stock at the beginning of the performance period. If the price of Brink’s stock at the end of the performance period is less than 50% of the initial price, no payout for MSUs will occur. We measure the fair value of MSUs at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The following table provides the terms and the weighted average assumptions used in the valuation of the MSUs: Terms and Assumptions Used to Estimate Fair Value of MSUs MSUs Granted in 2015 MSUs Granted in 2014 MSUs Granted in 2013 Date of Measurement February 20, 2015 (a) July 11, 2014 (b) July 11, 2014 (b) Terms of awards: Performance period Jan. 1, 2015 to Jan. 1, 2014 to April 1, 2013 to Dec. 31, 2017 Dec. 31, 2016 Dec. 31, 2015 Beginning average price of Brink’s common stock $ 23.19 33.29 27.59 Assumptions used to estimate fair value: Expected dividend yield (c) — % — % — % Expected stock price volatility 30 % 32 % 28 % Risk-free interest rate 1 % 0.7 % 0.3 % Contractual term in years 2.8 2.5 1.5 Weighted-average fair value estimate per share $ 30.37 23.34 27.30 (a) Represents the date awards were granted to employee.

The following table summarizes all MSU activity during 2015 : Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2014 163.3 $ 25.47 Activity from January 1 to December 31, 2015: Granted 108.6 30.37 Forfeited (13.1 ) 27.86 Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2015 258.8 $ 27.40 Stock Options No stock options were granted in 2015, 2014 and 2013. Prior to 2013, we granted stock options to select senior executives and select employees. When vested, the option entitles the holder to purchase a specified number of shares of Brink’s stock at a price set at the date the options were granted. The option price for Brink’s stock options was equal to the market price of Brink’s stock on the award date. Stock options granted to employees have a maximum term of six years and options previously granted to directors have a maximum term of ten years .

Deferred Stock Units (“DSUs”) We have granted DSUs to our directors. DSUs are paid out in shares of Brink’s stock. We measure the fair value of DSUs at the grant date, based on the price of Brink’s stock. The following table summarizes all DSU activity during 2015 : Shares (in thousands) Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2014 28.3 $ 24.70 Granted 21.4 32.79 Vested (28.3 ) 24.70 Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2015 21.4 $ 32.79 The weighted-average grant-date fair value estimate per share for DSUs granted was $32.79 in 2015 , $24.70 in 2014 and $26.80 in 2013 . Other Share-Based Compensation We have a deferred compensation plan that allows participants to defer a portion of their compensation into stock units. Units may be redeemed by employees for an equal number of shares of Brink’s stock. Employee accounts held 302,041 units at December 31, 2015 , and 292,221 units at December 31, 2014 . We have a stock accumulation plan for our non-employee directors that, prior to 2014, provided for awards of stock units. Directors’ accounts held 54,050 units at December 31, 2015 , and 53,335 units at December 31, 2014 .

Dividends We paid regular quarterly dividends on our common stock during the last three years. On January 21, 2016 , the board declared a regular quarterly dividend of 10 cents per share payable on March 1, 2016 . The payment of future dividends is at the discretion of the board of directors and is dependent on our future earnings, financial condition, shareholder equity levels, cash flow, business requirements and other factors. Preferred Stock At December 31, 2015 , we had the authority to issue up to 2.0 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $10 per share.

No interest expense was included in discontinued operations in 2015 and 2014. Interest expense included in discontinued operations was $0.4 million in 2013. (b) The loss from operations in 2015 included $1.0 million in pension settlement charges related to the Mexican parcel delivery business sold in February 2015. The loss from operations in 2014 included $15.6 million in non-cash severance and impairment charges related to the Netherlands cash-in-transit operations. The loss from operations in 2013 included $16.2 million of severance expenses paid to terminate certain employees of the German cash-in-transit operations. We contributed a portion of the cost to fund the German severance payments to the business prior to the execution of the December 2013 sale transaction. (c) Primarily related to former coal businesses and BAX Global, a former freight forwarding and logistics business. (d) BAX Global had been defending a claim related to the apparent diversion by a third party of goods being transported for a customer. In 2010, the Dutch Supreme Court denied the final appeal of BAX Global, letting stand the lower court ruling that BAX Global was liable for this claim. We had contractually indemnified the purchaser of BAX Global for this contingency. Through 2010, we had recognized $11.5 million of expense related to the payment made in satisfaction of the judgment. In 2014, we recovered $9.5 million from insurance companies related to this matter. Cash-in-transit operations sold or shut down: • Poland (sold in March 2013) • Turkey (shut down in June 2013) • Hungary (sold in September 2013) • Germany (sold in December 2013) • Australia (sold in October 2014) • Puerto Rico (shut down in November 2014) • Netherlands (sold in December 2014) Guarding operations sold: • France (January 2013) • Germany (July 2013) Other operations sold: • We sold Threshold Financial Technologies, Inc. in Canada in November 2013. Threshold operated private-label ATM network and payment processing businesses. Brink’s continues to own and operate Brink’s Integrated Managed Services for ATM customers. • We sold ICD Limited and other affiliated subsidiaries in November 2013. ICD had operations in China and other locations in Asia. ICD designed and installed security systems for commercial customers. • In February 2015, we sold a small Mexican parcel delivery business which met the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation as of December 31, 2014. The results of the above operations have been excluded from continuing operations and are reported as discontinued operations for the current and prior periods.

In 2015, cash outflows from the purchase of debt securities totaled $25.8 million and cash inflows from the sale of these securities totaled $18.7 million . In 2014, cash outflows from the purchase of debt securities totaled $11.0 million and cash inflows from the sale of these securities totaled $7.4 million . The net cash flows from these transactions are treated as operating cash flows as the debt securities are purchased specifically for resale and are generally sold within a short period of time from the date of purchase. Mexico Real Estate Transaction Brink's Mexico entered into a transaction in 2015 to sell its headquarters building in Mexico City and lease the property back for two years. The transaction did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting due to continuing involvement with the property. Transaction proceeds of $14.5 million in 2015 are reported as cash inflows from financing activities. Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities We acquired armored vehicles, CompuSafe ® units and other equipment under capital lease arrangements in the last three years including $18.9 million in 2015 , $12.1 million in 2014 and $5.5 million in 2013 .

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Other Commitments and Contingencies	Other Commitments and Contingencies 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 covering 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 less than $1 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 approximately $7 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 approximately $2 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. The plaintiff filed two subsequent actions appealing the Supreme Court’s October 22, 2014 decision, one before the First Appellate Court in Civil Matters of the First Circuit (the “Appellate Court”) and one with the Mexico Supreme Court. The action filed before the Appellate Court was rejected on February 16, 2015; the action filed with the Mexico Supreme Court is pending. The Company has accrued $2 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 December 31, 2015 . 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. During the fourth quarter of 2015, we became aware of an investigation initiated by COFECE (the Mexican antitrust agency) related to potential anti-competitive practices among competitors in the cash logistics industry in Mexico (the industry in which Brink’s Mexican subsidiary, SERPAPROSA, is active). Because no legal proceedings have been initiated against SERPAPROSA, we cannot estimate the probability of loss or any range of estimate of possible loss at this time. It is possible that SERPAPROSA could become the subject of legal or administrative claims or proceedings, however, that could result in a loss that could be material to the Company’s results in a future period. 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. At December 31, 2015 , we had noncancellable commitments for $10.3 million in equipment purchases, and information technology and other services.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Reorganization and Restructuring	Reorganization and Restructuring 2015 Reorganization and Restructuring Brink's initiated a global restructuring of its business in the third quarter of 2015. We recognized $11.6 million in 2015 costs related to employee severance, contract terminations and property impairment associated with the restructuring. The 2015 Reorganization and Restructuring is expected to reduce the global workforce by approximately 1,000 to 1,200 positions and is projected to result in $25 to $35 million in cost savings in 2016. The following table summarizes the costs incurred and payments and utilization of our 2015 Reorganization and Restructuring accruals: (In millions) Severance Costs Contract Terminations Impairments Total Balance as of January 1, 2015 $ — — — — Expense 9.8 1.6 0.2 11.6 Payments and utilization (3.5 ) (1.6 ) (0.2 ) (5.3 ) Foreign currency exchange effects — — — — Balance as of December 31, 2015 $ 6.3 — — 6.3 2014 Reorganization and Restructuring In the fourth quarter of 2014, we announced a reorganization and restructuring of Brink’s global organization (“2014 Reorganization and Restructuring”) to accelerate the execution of our strategy by reducing costs and providing for a more streamlined and centralized organization. As part of this program, we reduced our total workforce by approximately 1,700 positions. The restructuring saved annual direct costs of approximately $50 million in 2015 compared to 2014, excluding charges for severance, lease termination and accelerated depreciation. We recorded total pretax charges of $21.8 million in 2014 and an additional $1.9 million of pretax charges in 2015 related to the 2014 Reorganization and Restructuring. The actions under this program were substantially completed by the end of 2015 with cumulative pretax charges estimated to be approximately $24 million , primarily severance costs. The following table summarizes the costs incurred and payments made in our 2014 Reorganization and Restructuring accruals: (In millions) Severance Costs Lease Terminations Total Balance as of January 1, 2014 $ — — — Expenses 21.8 — 21.8 Payments (0.3 ) — (0.3 ) Foreign currency exchange effects (0.1 ) — (0.1 ) Balance as of December 31, 2014 $ 21.4 — 21.4 Expense (benefit) (0.4 ) 2.3 1.9 Payments and utilization (19.0 ) (1.9 ) (20.9 ) Foreign currency exchange effects (1.1 ) — (1.1 ) Balance as of December 31, 2015 $ 0.9 0.4 1.3 Executive Leadership and Board of Directors Restructuring In the fourth quarter of 2015, we recognized $1.8 million in costs related to the restructuring of executive leadership and Board of Directors, which was announced in January 2016. The majority of these charges will be paid in cash in 2016. The restructuring actions include the departure of our CEO in 2016 and the retirement of two Board members in January 2016. We expect to recognize an additional $5 to $10 million in costs in 2016 related to the 2015 Reorganization and Restructuring and the Executive Leadership and Board of Directors Restructuring.

In early 2015, we sold a small Mexican parcel delivery business. In 2014, we completed the divestitures of cash-in-transit operations in the Netherlands, Australia and Puerto Rico. The results of these operations have been excluded from continuing operations and are reported as discontinued operations for all periods. Significant pretax items in a quarter. In the first quarter of 2015, we recognized an $18.0 million remeasurement loss related to our change in February 2015 from the SICAD II exchange mechanism to the SIMADI. In the second quarter of 2015, we recognized a $34.5 million impairment of the Venezuela property and equipment (and another $0.8 million in the third quarter). In the third quarter of 2015, we initiated a restructuring of our business and recognized a $2.0 million charge related to contract terminations, employee severance and property impairment (and another $9.6 million in the fourth quarter). In the fourth quarter of 2015, we recognized a $5.9 million loss on the sale of our interest in a cash management business in Russia. In the first quarter of 2014, we recognized a $121.9 million remeasurement loss related to our change in March 2014 from the official exchange rate in Venezuela to the SICAD II exchange rate mechanism in Venezuela. In the third quarter of 2014, we recognized a $44.3 million gain on the sale of a noncontrolling interest in a Peruvian cash-in-transit business. In the fourth quarter of 2014, we recognized a $56.1 million pension settlement charge related to a lump-sum buy-out offer and a $21.8 million severance charge related to the reorganization and restructuring of our global organization. Significant after-tax items in a quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2015, we recognized a $23.5 million increase to current tax expense related to a transaction that accelerated U.S. taxable income.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Event	Subsequent Event In light of the challenging secure logistics market in the Republic of Ireland, we have decided to wind down the majority of our operations in this country, which had revenues of approximately $15 million in 2015. We expect to recognize losses from operations and the disposition in the range of $20 million to $25 million in 2016 . We will continue to provide international shipments to and from the Republic of Ireland through our Global Services business.

Summary of Significant Accoun34

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Brink’s Company (along with its subsidiaries, “we,” “our,” “Brink’s” or the “Company”), based in Richmond, Virginia, is a leading provider of secure transportation, cash management services and other security-related services to banks and financial institutions, retailers, government agencies, mints, jewelers and other commercial operations around the world. Brink’s is the oldest and largest secure transportation and cash management services company in the U.S., and a market leader in many other countries.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brink’s and the subsidiaries it controls. Control is determined based on ownership rights or, when applicable, based on whether we are considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. Our interest in 20% to 50% owned companies that are not controlled are accounted for using the equity method (“equity affiliates”), unless we do not sufficiently influence the management of the investee. Other investments are accounted for as cost-method investments or as available-for-sale investments. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when services related to armored vehicle transportation, ATM services, cash management services, payment services, guarding and the secure international transportation of valuables are performed. Customer contracts have prices that are fixed and determinable and we assess the customer’s ability to meet the contractual terms, including payment terms, before entering into contracts. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents include amounts held by certain of our secure cash management services operations for customers for which, under local regulations, the title 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. We record a liability for the amounts owed to customers
Trade Accounts Receivable	Trade Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses on our existing accounts receivable. We determine the allowance based on historical write-off experience. We review our allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated principally on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of individual assets or classes of assets. Leased property and equipment meeting capital lease criteria are capitalized at the lower of the present value of the related lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. Amortization is calculated on the straight-line method based on the lease term. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost. Amortization is calculated principally on the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvement or the lease term. Renewal periods are included in the lease term when the renewal is determined to be reasonably assured. Part of the costs related to the development or purchase of internal-use software is capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. Costs that are capitalized include external direct costs of materials and services to develop or obtain the software, and internal costs, including compensation and employee benefits for employees directly associated with a software development project.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill is recognized for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets of businesses acquired. Intangible assets arising from business acquisitions include customer lists, customer relationships, covenants not to compete, trademarks and other identifiable intangibles. At December 31, 2015 , finite-lived intangible assets have remaining useful lives ranging from 1 to 12 years and are amortized based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are used or on a straight-line basis.
Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets Goodwill is not amortized but is tested at least annually for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is at the operating segment level or one level below an operating segment. Goodwill is assigned to one or more reporting units at the date of acquisition. Prior to the restructuring of our global organization in the fourth quarter of 2014, our reporting units were Latin America, EMEA, North America and Asia. After the 2014 restructuring, we now have ten reporting units which are comprised of: • each of the five countries within Largest 5 Markets (U.S., France, Mexico, Brazil and Canada), • each of the three regions within Global Markets (Latin America, EMEA and Asia), • the Latin American Payment Services businesses, and • the U.S. Payment Services business We performed a goodwill impairment test on the new reporting units that had goodwill as of December 31, 2014. We performed goodwill impairment tests on the reporting units that had goodwill as of October 1, 2015. We performed a quantitative analysis to determine whether reporting unit fair values exceeded their carrying amounts. We based our estimates of fair value on projected future cash flows and completed these impairment tests, as well as the tests in the previous two years, with no impairment charges required. Indefinite-lived intangibles are also tested for impairment at least annually by comparing their carrying values to their estimated fair values. We have had no significant impairments of indefinite-lived intangibles in the last three years. Long-lived assets other than goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets other than goodwill that are to be held and used in operations, an impairment is indicated when the estimated total undiscounted cash flow associated with the asset or group of assets is less than carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value.
Retirement Benefit Plans	Retirement Benefit Plans We account for retirement benefit obligations under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits . For U.S. and certain non-U.S. retirement plans, we derive the discount rates used to measure the present value of benefit obligations using the cash flow matching method. Under this method, we compare the plan’s projected payment obligations by year with the corresponding yields on a Mercer yield curve. Each year’s projected cash flows are then discounted back to their present value at the measurement date and an overall discount rate is determined. The overall discount rate is then rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage point. In non-U.S. locations where the cash flow matching method is not possible, rates of local high-quality long-term government bonds are used to select the discount rate. We used Mercer’s Above-Mean Curve to determine the discount rates for the year-end benefit obligations and retirement cost of our U.S. retirement plans. We select the expected long-term rate of return assumption for our U.S. pension plan and retiree medical plans using advice from an investment advisor and an actuary. The selected rate considers plan asset allocation targets, expected overall investment manager performance and long-term historical average compounded rates of return. Benefit plan experience gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Accumulated net benefit plan experience gains and losses that exceed 10% of the greater of a plan’s benefit obligation or plan assets at the beginning of the year are amortized into earnings from other comprehensive income (loss) on a straight-line basis. The amortization period for pension plans is the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits under the plans. The amortization period for other retirement plans is primarily the average remaining life expectancy of inactive participants.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded to recognize the expected future tax benefits or costs of events that have been, or will be, reported in different years for financial statement purposes than tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which these items are expected to reverse. We recognize tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions if we believe it is more likely than not the benefit will be realized. We review our deferred tax assets to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that they will be realized. If we determine it is not more-likely-than-not that a deferred tax asset will be realized, we record a valuation allowance to reverse the previously recognized tax benefit.
Foreign Currency Transaction	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 (loss). 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, and has required that currency exchanges be made at official rates established by the government instead of allowing open markets to determine currency rates. Different official rates exist for different industries and purposes and the government does not approve all requests to convert bolivars to other currencies. 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 official currency exchange mechanisms will be discontinued or will not be accessible when needed in the future, which may prevent us from repatriating dividends or 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 revenues and expenses. After the government discontinued the use of the 5.3 rate 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 revenues and expenses. We recognized a $13.4 million net remeasurement loss in 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 2013. Late in 2013, the government added another official exchange process, known as SICAD, for travel and certain other purposes. The published SICAD rate at that time ranged from 10 to 12 bolivars to the dollar. We have only been able to obtain dollars once using the SICAD exchange mechanism and we do not know whether we will be able to access dollars at this rate in the future. We have not used the SICAD rate for translation or for remeasurement purposes. 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 revenues and expenses. Effective March 24, 2014, the government initiated another exchange mechanism known as SICAD II and we began to use this exchange rate to remeasure bolivar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities and to translate our revenues and expenses. During 2014, the SICAD II rate averaged approximately 50 bolivars to the dollar and, at December 31, 2014, the rate was approximately 50 bolivars to the dollar. We recognized a $121.6 million net remeasurement loss in 2014 when we changed from the 6.3 rate to the SICAD II exchange rate. The after-tax effect of these losses attributable to noncontrolling interests was $39.7 million in 2014. While the SICAD II process existed, we received approval to obtain $1.2 million (weighted average exchange rate of 51 ) through this exchange mechanism. Remeasurement rates during 2015. Through February 11, 2015, we used the SICAD II rates to remeasure our bolivar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and to translate our revenue and expenses. Effective February 12, 2015, the SICAD II exchange mechanism was disbanded and we began to use the rate under the new exchange mechanism, known as SIMADI, to remeasure bolivar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities and to translate our revenue and expenses.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risks We routinely assess the financial strength of significant customers and this assessment, combined with the large number and geographic diversity of our customers, limits our concentration of risk with respect to accounts receivable. Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risks are principally cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. Cash and cash equivalents are held by major financial institutions.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The most significant estimates are related to goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets, pension and other retirement benefit assets and obligations, legal contingencies, deferred tax assets, purchase price allocations and foreign currency translation.
Fair-value estimates	Fair-value estimates. We have various financial instruments included in our financial statements. Financial instruments are carried in our financial statements at either cost or fair value. We estimate fair value of assets using the following hierarchy using the highest level possible: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.
New Accounting Standard Policy	New Accounting Standards In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs . Under ASU 2015-03, certain debt issuance costs reported as assets must be reclassified and shown as direct adjustments to the reported debt liability. We elected to early adopt this ASU as of December 31, 2015 using the retrospective transition method. In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its Equivalent). This new standard eliminates the requirement to categorize investments in the fair value hierarchy if their fair values are measured at net asset value per share (or its equivalent) using the practical expedient in the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance. This new standard impacted our fair value disclosures related to retirement benefit plan investments. We elected to early adopt this ASU as of December 31, 2015 using the retrospective transition method. As a result, the fair value hierarchy presentation as reported at December 31, 2014 has been updated to reflect this guidance. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . This new standard requires that all deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities shall be classified as noncurrent. We elected to early adopt this ASU as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2015 using the prospective transition method. In our December 31, 2015 balance sheet, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are reported as noncurrent as prescribed by the prospective transition method. We have not adjusted the classification of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities in our December 31, 2014 balance sheet. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts with Customers , a new standard related to revenue recognition which requires an entity to recognize an amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods and services to customers. The new standard will replace most of the existing revenue recognition standards in U.S. GAAP. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of this new standard to January 1, 2018. The new standard can be applied retrospectively to each reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the change recognized at the date of the initial application in retained earnings. We are assessing the potential impact of this new standard on financial reporting and have not yet selected a transition method.

(b) This category represents an actively managed mutual fund that invests primarily in equity securities of emerging market issuers. Emerging market countries are those countries that are characterized as developing or emerging by any of the World Bank, the United Nations, the International Finance Corporation, or the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development or included in an emerging markets index by a recognized index provider. (c) This category represents an actively managed mutual fund that seeks to generate total return over time by selecting investments from among a broad range of asset classes. The fund’s allocations among asset classes may be adjusted over short periods and can vary from multiple to a single asset class. (d) This category represents actively managed mutual funds that seek to duplicate the risk and return characteristics of a long-term fixed-income security portfolio with approximate duration of 10 years and longer by using a long duration bond portfolio. This category also includes Treasury future contracts and zero -coupon securities created by the U.S. Treasury. (e) This category represents an actively managed mutual fund that invests primarily in fixed-income securities rated below investment grade, including corporate bonds and debentures, convertible and preferred securities and zero-coupon obligations. The fund’s average weighted maturity may vary and will generally not exceed ten years. (f) This category represents an actively managed mutual fund that invests primarily in U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities of government, government-related and corporate issuers in emerging market countries, as well as entities organized to restructure the outstanding debt of such issuers. (g) This category represents an actively managed hedge fund of funds. The fund holds approximately 30 separate hedge-fund investments. Strategies included (1) long-short equity, (2) event-driven and distressed-debt, (3) global macro, (4) credit hedging, (5) multi-strategy, and (6) fixed-income arbitrage. Its investment objective is to seek to achieve an attractive risk-adjusted return with moderate volatility and moderate directional market exposure over a full market cycle. (h) This category represents an actively managed real estate fund of funds that seeks both current income and long-term capital appreciation through investing in underlying funds that acquire, manage, and dispose of commercial real estate properties. These properties are high-quality, low-leveraged, income-generating office, industrial, retail, and multi-family properties, generally fully-leased to creditworthy companies and governmental entities. (i) This category invests primarily in a diversified portfolio comprised primarily of collateralized loan obligations and other structured credit investments backed primarily by bank loans. (j) This category represents an actively managed mutual fund that invests primarily in fixed income and equity securities and commodity linked instruments. The category seeks total returns that exceed the rate of inflation over a full market cycle regardless of market conditions. (k) This category will offer exposure to a diversified pool of global private assets fund investments. Further, the category will seek to shorten the duration of the typical private assets fund of funds through a dedicated focus on secondary strategies (i.e. funds whose investment strategy is to purchase interests in other private market investments/funds as a way to provide the original investors liquidity prior to the end of those investments’/funds’ contracted end date), income-producing investment strategies (e.g. debt, real estate, and to a lesser extent, real assets), and underlying funds whose stated life is five to seven years, as opposed to the more typical 10 -year life of private assets funds. (l) This category invests in credit securities of commodity oriented companies affected by the dislocation in the commodity markets with the investment objective of producing an equity like return with less downside risk than equity or commodity investments. The fund has a three year lock on each investment and semi-annual redemptions. 50% of the fund balance is redeemable in the first redemption period following the end of the lock up and then 25% of the fund balance in each of the next two redemptions periods. (m) In accordance with Subtopic 820-10, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets. (n) The U.S. managed volatility fund seeks capital appreciation with lower volatility than the broad U.S. equity market. The Fund will typically invest in equity securities of U.S. companies of all capitalization ranges that exhibit low relative volatility. Over the long term, the Fund is expected to achieve a return similar to that of the Russell 3000 Index with a lower level of volatility.

Some of these funds use a dynamic asset allocation investment strategy seeking to generate total return over time by selecting investments from among a broad range of asset classes, investing primarily through the use of derivatives. (b) This category represents investment-grade fixed income debt securities of European issuers from diverse industries. (c) This category seeks to achieve a return that exceeds the Scotia Capital Markets Universe Bond Index. (d) This category is designed to generate income and exhibit volatility similar to that of the Sterling denominated bond market. This category primarily invests in investment grade or better securities. (e) This category consists of global high-yield bonds. This category invests in lower rated and unrated fixed income, floating rate and other debt securities issued by European and American companies. (f) This category consists of a diversified portfolio of debt securities issued by governments, financial institutions, companies or other entities domiciled in emerging market countries. (g) This category is designed to achieve a return consistent with holding longer term debt instruments. This category invests in interest rate and inflation derivatives, government-issued bonds, real-return bonds, and futures contracts.
