+Added: Additionally, certain non-GAAP results, including non-GAAP operating profit and free cash flow before dividends, are utilized as performance measures in certain management incentive compensation plans.
+Added: Non-GAAP results should not be considered as an alternative to results determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with their GAAP counterparts.
Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.
+Added: The items excluded from non-GAAP measures are considered by us to be nonrecurring, infrequent or unusual costs and gains as well as other items not considered part of our operations and revenue generating activities.
+Added: Non-recurring and infrequent items are items that are not reasonably expected to recur in the following two years.
+Added: In addition to the rationale described above, we believe the following non-GAAP metrics are helpful to investors in assessing results of operations consistent with how our management evaluates performance:
+Added: • Non-GAAP operating profit and Non-GAAP operating profit margin :
+Added: Non-GAAP operating profit equals GAAP operating profit excluding Other Items not Allocated to Segments.
+Added: Non-GAAP operating margin equals non-GAAP operating profit divided by revenues.
+Added: • Non-GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to Brink's :
+Added: This measure equals GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to Brink's excluding Other Items not Allocated to Segments as well as certain retirement plan expenses/gains and unusual adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances.
+Added: • Earnings Before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA:
+Added: EBITDA is calculated by starting with net income attributable to Brink's and adding back the amounts for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.
+Added: Adjusted EBITDA equals EBITDA excluding the applicable impacts of Other Items not Allocated to Segments as well as certain retirement plan expenses/gains, unusual adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances, income tax rate adjustments, share-based compensation and marketable securities (gain) loss.
+Added: • Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share ("EPS") from continuing operations attributable to Brink's common shareholders :
+Added: This measure equals non-GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to Brink's divided by diluted shares.
+Added: • Organic change and organic growth :
+Added: Organic change represents the change in revenues or operating profit between the current and prior period excluding the effect of acquisitions and dispositions for one year after the transaction and changes in currency exchange rates.
+Added: Organic growth is the percentage change of organic growth versus the prior year amount.
+Added: • Impact of Acquisitions/ Dispositions:
+Added: This measure represents the impact of acquisitions or dispositions without a full year of reported results in either comparable period.
+Added: • Currency Effect:
+Added: This measure consists of the effects of Argentina devaluations under highly inflationary accounting and the sum of monthly currency changes.
+Added: Monthly currency changes represent the accumulation throughout the year of the impact on current period results of changes in foreign currency rates from the prior year period.
+Added: • Non-GAAP pre-tax income, Non-GAAP income tax and Non-GAAP effective income tax rate :
+Added: Non-GAAP pre-tax income and non-GAAP income tax equal their GAAP counterparts excluding the applicable impacts of Other Items not Allocated to Segments as well as certain retirement plan expenses/gains and unusual adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances.
+Added: Non-GAAP effective income tax rate equals non-GAAP income tax divided by non-GAAP pre-tax income.
+Added: In addition to the rationale described above, we believe the following non-GAAP metrics are helpful in assessing cash flow and financial leverage consistent with how our management evaluates performance:
+Added: • Free Cash Flow before Dividends:
+Added: This non-GAAP measure reflects management’s calculation of cash flows that are available for capital or investing activities such as paying dividends, share repurchases, debt, acquisitions and other investments.
+Added: The measure is calculated as net cash flows from operating activities, adjusted to exclude certain operating activities related to cash that is not available for corporate purposes, including the impact of cash flows from restricted cash held for customers, as well as cash received and processed in certain of our secure cash management services operations.
+Added: The resulting amount is further adjusted to include the impact of cash flows related to equipment used to operate our business, including capital expenditures, cash proceeds from sale of property and equipment, as well as proceeds from lessor debt financing.
+Added: The latter item, which is part of cash flows from financing activities and relates to the subsequent financings of certain capital expenditures, was added to our calculation in 2024 as we believe such cash flows are similar in nature to transactions reported in Investing Activities, which have historically been included in our calculation.
+Added: Prior amounts were recast to reflect this change.
+Added: Net Debt equals total debt less cash and cash equivalents available for general corporate purposes.
+Added: We exclude from cash and cash equivalents amounts held by our cash management services operations, as such amounts are not considered available for general corporate purposes.
+Added: See page 44 for more details.
+Added: Reconciliations of Non-GAAP to GAAP Measures
+Added: Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures either in the tables below or in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section.
+Added: Amounts reported for prior periods have been updated in this report to present information consistently for all periods presented.
+Added: Most of the reconciling adjustments are described in Other Items Not Allocated to Segments above on pages 26 – 29 .
+Added: Additional reconciling items include the following:
+Added: Retirement plans We incur costs, such as interest expense and amortization of actuarial gains and losses, associated with certain retirement plans that have been frozen to new entrants.
+Added: Furthermore, we also incur non-cash settlement charges and curtailment gains related to all of our retirement plans.
+Added: These costs and gains are not considered to be part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities.
+Added: Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance.
+Added: Therefore, they are excluded from non-GAAP results.
+Added: Valuation allowance on tax credits As a result of new foreign tax credit regulations, we released a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and recorded a significant income tax credit in 2022.
+Added: We then re-established some of the valuation allowance in 2023 primarily related to adjustments to the previous foreign tax credit changes, resulting in a significant incremental income tax expense.
+Added: In 2024, we released an incremental valuation allowance on deferred tax assets that was otherwise expected to expire and recorded a tax credit.
+Added: The gains and charges related to major tax law changes that impacted U.S.
+Added: foreign tax credits.
+Added: These gains and charges are not considered to be part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities.
+Added: Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance.
+Added: Therefore, they are excluded from non-GAAP results.
+Added: Change in restricted cash held for customers Restricted cash held for customers is not available for general corporate purposes such as payroll, vendor invoice payments, debt repayment, or capital expenditures.
+Added: Because the cash is not available to support the Company's operations and revenue generating activities, management excludes the changes in the restricted cash held for customers balance when assessing cash flows from operations.
+Added: We believe that the exclusion of the change in restricted cash held for customers from our non-GAAP operating cash flows measure is helpful to users of the financial statements as it presents this financial measure consistent with how management assesses this liquidity measure.
+Added: Change in certain customer obligations The title to cash received and processed in certain of our secure cash management services operations transfers to us for a short period of time.
+Added: The cash is generally credited to customers’ accounts the following day and is thus not available for general corporate purposes.
+Added: Because the cash is not available to support our operations and revenue generating activities, management excludes the changes in this specific cash balance when assessing cash flows from operations.
+Added: We believe that the exclusion of the change in this cash balance from our non-GAAP operating cash flows measure is helpful to the users of our financial statements as it presents this financial measure consistent with how our management assesses this liquidity measure.
+Added: Amounts held by cash management services operations As described above, cash held in certain of our secure cash management services operations is not available to support our operations and revenue generating activities.
+Added: Therefore, management excludes this specific cash balance when assessing our liquidity and capital resources, and in our computation of Net Debt.
+Added: We believe that the exclusion of this cash balance from our non-GAAP Net Debt measure is helpful to the users of our financial statements as it presents this financial measure consistent with how our management assesses this liquidity measure.
+Added: Non-GAAP Reconciled to GAAP

−Removed: Additionally, these short term contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded immediately in earnings.
−Removed: At December 31, 2023, the fair value of our short term foreign currency contracts was a net liability of $1.1 million, of which $8.7 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $9.8 million was included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

−Removed: We elected to use the spot method to assess effectiveness for these derivatives that are designated as net investment hedges.
+Added: These short term foreign currency forward and swap contracts primarily offset exposures in the euro, the Mexican peso, and the British pound and are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.
+Added: Accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded immediately in earnings.
+Added: See Note 12 for more details regarding our economic hedges.
+Added: We have entered into cross currency swaps and foreign exchange forward swap contracts to hedge a portion of our net investments in certain of our subsidiaries with euro and Hong Kong dollar functional currencies.
+Added: As net investment hedges for accounting purposes, we elected to use the spot method to assess effectiveness for these derivatives that are designated as net investment hedges.
Accordingly, changes in fair value attributable to changes in the undiscounted spot rates are recorded in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will remain there until the hedged net investments are sold or substantially liquidated.
−Removed: We have elected to exclude the spot-forward difference from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are amortizing this amount separately on a straight-line basis over the term of these cross currency swaps.
−Removed: In the third quarter of 2022, we terminated these cross currency swap contracts and received $67 million in cash as settlement.
−Removed: We subsequently entered into a total of nine cross currency swaps with a total notional value of $400 million to hedge a portion of our net investment in certain of our subsidiaries with euro functional currencies.

−Removed: In the third quarter of 2023, we entered into a zero cost foreign exchange collar contract with a $215 million notional amount and a May 2026 expiration date.
−Removed: We sold a put option with a lower strike price and bought a call option with a higher strike price to manage the foreign exchange risk related to the final settlement of the $215 million notional cross currency swaps.
