  1. The non-GAAP financial metric, adjusted EBITDA, is presented with its corresponding GAAP metric, net income attributable to Brink's.
  2. Constant currency represents 2018 results at 2017 exchange rates.

Highlights include:

  • Segment revenue:  $106 million of organic and acquisition-related growth (13% constant currency growth)  more than offset negative currency translation of $82 million; reported revenue growth of 3%
  • Total operating profit:
    • GAAP: Organic and acquisition-related profit growth of $25 million (38% constant currency growth) more than offset negative currency translation of $24 million; reported profit growth of 1%
    • Non-GAAP: Organic and acquisition-related profit growth of $42 million (55% constant currency growth) more than offset negative currency translation of $24 million; reported profit growth of 25%
  • North America revenue up 21%, operating profit up 99%
    • Profits in U.S. operations (excluding Dunbar) more than tripled; margin 6%+
    • Dunbar (acquired August 13) added $51 million of revenue
    • Mexico revenue up 8% (15% organic); 16% margin
  • South America organic and acquisition-related profit growth of $20 million (42% constant currency growth) offset by negative currency translation of $22 million; margin up 220 bps to 21.5%.
  • Rest of World revenue and profit declined slightly on continued pricing weakness and the sale of the airport guarding business in France; margin 12.1% vs 12.6%; improvement expected in 2019

Doug Pertz, president and chief executive officer, said:  “The improvement in our third-quarter non-GAAP earnings was driven primarily by accelerating profit growth in our U.S. business, continued profit momentum in Mexico and acquisition-related growth.  Reported non-GAAP operating profit rose 25%, reflecting strong organic and acquisition-related profit growth that more than offset a negative currency impact of $24 million.  On a constant currency basis, non-GAAP operating profit rose 55%.

“We are particularly pleased with the accelerated profit growth in our core U.S. operations which, excluding the Dunbar acquisition, achieved a third-quarter margin rate of about 6%.  When we layer in the synergies we expect from Dunbar, we believe our U.S. business has reached a very positive inflection point in terms of its profit trajectory going forward. Our goal in 2019 is to generate total U.S. revenue of approximately $1.25 billion and exit the year at a 10% margin rate.  When we achieve full synergies related to the Dunbar acquisition, we expect our ‘close the gap’ strategy to generate a U.S. margin rate approaching 13%.

“We’re equally excited about our revenue and profit momentum in Mexico, which continues to be driven by growing sales to retail customers, improved productivity and lower labor costs.  As we approach 2019, we expect accelerated organic and inorganic growth led by the U.S., Mexico and South America, where inflation-based price increases should begin to mitigate the impact of currency devaluations as we move through the year.”

Impact of Currency Translation
The improved third-quarter results were achieved despite declines in the Argentine peso and the Brazilian real of 45% and 20%, respectively, versus last year’s third quarter.  The devaluation of the Argentine peso has had the largest impact on the company’s non-GAAP operating profit, representing approximately 90% of the $43 million of negative currency impact incurred in the first nine months of 2018.  The impact of currency devaluation is primarily translational, not transactional, as virtually all revenue and expenses are in local currency.

Pertz said:  “As in the past, we expect regular inflation-driven price increases to fully offset the negative impact of Argentine peso devaluation over time.  Even without a full offset of this year’s currency devaluation, we expect our organic and acquisition-related growth to drive full-year non-GAAP operating profit growth of about 25%.”

2018 Non-GAAP Guidance
The company’s original non-GAAP 2018 guidance, which was provided on February 7 and based primarily on currency rates at the end of 2017, included revenue growth of 8% to $3.5 billion, operating profit growth of 30% to a range of $365 million to $385 million, adjusted EBITDA between $515 million and $535 million, and earnings between $3.65 and $3.85 per share.

Management has updated full-year 2018 non-GAAP guidance to include revenue growth of 8% to $3.5 billion, operating profit growth of 24% to a range between $340 million and $360 million, adjusted EBITDA growth of 20% to a range between $500 million and $520 million, and earnings growth of 9% to a range between $3.20 and $3.40 per share. This update uses October 23 exchange rates for all currencies for the remainder of the year (except the Argentine peso for which the company is using a rate of 40 pesos per U.S. dollar).

The updated guidance on a constant currency basis (using 2017 actual rates) reflects revenue growth of 14% to $3.6 billion, operating profit growth of 51% to a range between $414 million and $434 million, adjusted EBITDA growth of 38% to a range between $576 million and $596 million, and earnings growth of 39% to a range between $4.10 and $4.30 per share.

2019 Preliminary Non-GAAP Guidance
Brink’s also provided preliminary non-GAAP guidance for 2019, which includes revenue growth of 10% to $3.8 billion, operating profit growth of 26% to a range between $430 million and $450 million, adjusted EBITDA growth of 22% to a range between $610 million and $630 million, and earnings growth of 29% to a range between $4.15 and $4.35 per share. This 2019 guidance assumes currency rates as of October 23, 2018 for all currencies (except the Argentine peso, for which the company is using an estimated 2019 rate of 45 pesos to the U.S. dollar).  This preliminary guidance will be updated to reflect management’s business outlook and year-end currency rates when full-year 2018 results are reported in February 2019.

Brink’s Services Canadian Cannabis Industry
On October 17, 2018, cannabis became legal for recreational use in Canada, providing an opportunity for Brink’s to begin to service the unique needs of the cannabis industry.  Brink’s has entered into agreements with cannabis suppliers in Canada to offer secure logistics and cash management services in domestic and international markets.   

Pertz said:  “The cash-intensive and rapidly growing cannabis industry requires security solutions for its products as well as its cash. Brink’s is uniquely positioned to provide these solutions by leveraging our global network of secure logistics operations through our Brink’s Global Services business.”

In the U.S., laws regarding the medical and recreational use of cannabis vary between states, and laws in many states conflict with federal law.  Brink’s is in discussions with U.S.-based financial institutions that serve customers in states that have legalized cannabis, and is providing cash-based services to financial institutions in some of these markets.  Brink’s will closely monitor compliance with all laws, regulations and guidance.

Share Repurchase
During the third quarter, Brink’s repurchased 336,829 shares of its common stock for approximately $25 million, or an average price of $74.37 per share.  The company now has approximately $175 million available for additional repurchases under its $200 million share repurchase authorization, which expires at the end of 2019.

Brink’s will host a conference call on October 24 at 8:30 a.m. ET to review third-quarter results.  Interested parties can listen by calling 888-349-0094 (in the U.S.) or 412-902-0124 (international).

  1. The 2017 Non-GAAP amounts are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP items on pages 11-14.  The 2018 Non-GAAP outlook amounts exclude the year-to-date September 2018 Non-GAAP adjusting items applicable to each category. In addition, we have excluded certain other forecasted Non-GAAP adjusting items for the fourth quarter of the year, such as intangible asset amortization and U.S. retirement plan costs. We have not forecasted the impact of highly inflationary accounting on our Argentina operations in the fourth quarter of 2018 or other potential Non-GAAP adjusting items for which the timing and amounts are currently under review, such as future restructuring actions. The 2018 Non-GAAP outlook amounts for operating profit, nonoperating expense, provision for income taxes, income from continuing operations, EPS from continuing operations, effective income tax rate and Adjusted EBITDA cannot be reconciled to GAAP without unreasonable effort. We cannot reconcile these amounts to GAAP because we are unable to accurately forecast the impact of highly inflationary accounting on our Argentina operations in the fourth quarter of 2018 or other potential Non-GAAP adjusting items for which the timing and amounts are currently under review, such as future restructuring actions.
  2. The 2018 GAAP outlook excludes any forecasted impact from highly inflationary accounting on our Argentina operations in the fourth quarter of 2018 as well as other potential Non-GAAP adjusting items for which the timing and amounts are currently under review, such as future restructuring actions.
  3. Non-GAAP amounts include the impact of prior year comparable period results for acquired and disposed businesses. GAAP results also include the impact of acquisition-related intangible amortization, restructuring and other charges, and disposition related gains/losses.

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

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

Venezuela operations Prior to the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan subsidiaries effective June 30, 2018, we excluded from our segment results all of our Venezuela operating results, due to the Venezuelan government's restrictions that have prevented us from repatriating funds.  As a result, the Chief Executive Officer, the Company's Chief Operating Decision maker ("CODM"), has assessed segment performance and has made resource decisions by segment excluding Venezuela operating results.

Reorganization and Restructuring
2016 Restructuring
In the fourth quarter of 2016, management implemented restructuring actions across our global business operations and our corporate functions.  As a result of these actions, we recognized $18.1 million in related 2016 costs, an additional $17.3 million in 2017 and $11.3 million in the first nine months of 2018.  The actions under this program were substantially completed in the third quarter of 2018, with cumulative pretax charges of approximately $46.7 million.

Other Restructurings
Management routinely implements restructuring actions in targeted sections of our business.  As a result of these actions, we recognized $4.2 million in the first nine months of 2018, primarily severance costs.  For the current restructuring actions, we expect to incur additional costs between $2 and $4 million in future periods.

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

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

2018 Acquisitions and Dispositions

  • Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $11.7 million in the first nine months of 2018.
  • Severance costs related to our 2017 acquisitions in Argentina, France and Brazil were $3.7 million in the first nine months of 2018.
  • Transaction costs related to business acquisitions were $5.9 million in the first nine months of 2018.
  • Compensation expense related to the retention of key Dunbar employees was $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2018.

2017 Acquisitions and Dispositions

  • Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $8.4 million in 2017.
  • Fourth quarter 2017 gain of $7.8 million related to the sale of real estate in Mexico.
  • Severance costs of $4.0 million related to our 2017 acquisitions in Argentina and Brazil.
  • Transaction costs of $2.6 million related to acquisitions of new businesses in 2017.
  • Currency transaction gains of $1.8 million related to acquisition activity.

Argentina highly inflationary impact Beginning in the third quarter of 2018, we designated Argentina's economy as highly inflationary for accounting purposes. As a result, Argentine peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are now remeasured at each balance sheet date to the currency exchange rate then in effect, with currency remeasurement gains and losses recognized in earnings. In addition, nonmonetary assets retain a higher historical basis when the currency is devalued. The higher historical basis results in incremental expense being recognized when the nonmonetary assets are consumed. Currency remeasurement losses were $8.1 million and incremental expense related to nonmonetary assets was $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2018.

Reporting compliance Certain third party costs incurred related to the mitigation of material weaknesses ($1.2 million in the first nine months of 2018) and the implementation and adoption of ASU 2016-02, the new lease accounting standard effective for us January 1, 2019 ($2.2 million in the first nine months of 2018), are excluded from non-GAAP results.

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

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

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

The 2018 Non-GAAP outlook amounts exclude the year-to-date September 2018 Non-GAAP adjusting items applicable to each category. In addition, we have excluded certain other forecasted Non-GAAP adjusting items for the fourth quarter of the year, such as intangible asset amortization and U.S. retirement plan costs. We have not forecasted the impact of highly inflationary accounting on our Argentina operations in the fourth quarter of 2018 or other potential Non-GAAP adjusting items for which the timing and amounts are currently under review, such as future restructuring actions.  The 2018 Non-GAAP outlook amounts for operating profit, nonoperating expense, provision for income taxes, income from continuing operations, EPS from continuing operations, effective income tax rate and Adjusted EBITDA cannot be reconciled to GAAP without unreasonable effort. We cannot reconcile these amounts to GAAP because we are unable to accurately forecast the impact of highly inflationary accounting on our Argentina operations in the fourth quarter of 2018 or other potential Non-GAAP adjusting items for which the timing and amounts are currently under review, such as future restructuring actions. The impact of highly inflationary accounting and other potential Non-GAAP adjusting items could be significant to our GAAP results.

The Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide investors with a supplemental comparison of our operating results and trends for the periods presented. Our management believes these measures are also useful to investors as such measures allow investors to evaluate our performance using the same metrics that our management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance.  We do not consider these items to be reflective of our core operating performance due to the variability of such items from period-to-period in terms of size, nature and significance.  Additionally, Non-GAAP results are utilized as performance measures in certain management incentive compensation plans.

  1. See “Other Items Not Allocated To Segments” on pages 9-10 for details.  We do not consider these items to be reflective of our core operating performance due to the variability of such items from period-to-period in terms of size, nature and significance.
  2. Non-GAAP income from continuing operations and non-GAAP EPS have been adjusted to reflect an effective income tax rate in each interim period equal to the full-year non-GAAP effective income tax rate. The full-year non-GAAP effective tax rate is estimated at 37.0% for 2018 and was 34.2% for 2017.
  3. Our U.S. retirement plans are frozen and costs related to these plans are excluded from non-GAAP results. Certain non-U.S. operations also have retirement plans. Settlement charges related to these non-U.S. plans are also excluded from non-GAAP results.
  4. Penalties upon prepayment of Private Placement notes in September 2017 and a term loan in October 2017.
  5. Related to an unfavorable court ruling in the third quarter of 2017 on a non-income tax claim in Brazil. The court ruled that Brink's must pay interest accruing from the initial claim filing in 1994 to the current date. The principal amount of the claim was approximately $1 million and was recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2017.
  6. Represents the estimated impact of tax legislation enacted into law in the fourth quarter of 2017.  This primarily relates to the U.S. Tax Reform expense from the remeasurement of our net deferred tax assets.
  7. The non-GAAP tax rate excludes the 2018 and 2017 foreign tax benefits that resulted from the transaction that accelerated U.S. tax in 2015.
  8. Effective June 30, 2018, we deconsolidated our investment in Venezuelan subsidiaries and recognized a pretax charge of $126.7 million.
  9. There is no difference between GAAP and non-GAAP share-based compensation amounts for the periods presented.
  10. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as non-GAAP income from continuing operations excluding the impact of non-GAAP interest expense, non-GAAP income tax provision, non-GAAP depreciation and amortization and non-GAAP share-based compensation.
  11. Because we reported a loss from continuing operations on a GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2017 and second quarter of 2018, GAAP EPS was calculated using basic shares. However, as we reported income from continuing operations on a non-GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2017 and second quarter of 2018, non-GAAP EPS was calculated using diluted shares.
