ITEM 1.  BUSINESS 

Overview 
The Brink’s Company is a premier provider of secure logistics and security solutions, including cash-in-transit, ATM replenishment and 
maintenance, secure international transportation of valuables and cash management services, to financial institutions, retailers, government 
agencies including central banks, mints, jewelers and other commercial operations around the world.  Our international network serves 
customers in more than 100 countries and employs approximately 65,100 people.  Our operations include approximately 1,000 facilities and 
12,700 vehicles. Our headquarters are located in Richmond, Virginia.  A significant portion of our business is conducted internationally, with 
82% of our $3.9 billion in revenues earned outside the United States.  The Brink’s Company, along with its subsidiaries, is referred to as “we,” 
“our,” “Brink’s,” or “the Company” throughout this Form 10-K. 

Effective December 31, 2013, Brink’s changed its reporting segments.  Brink’s now reports its financial results in four segments: Latin 
America; Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); North America and Asia Pacific.   Previously, the Company’s reporting segments were 
International (comprised of Latin America, EMEA and Asia Pacific) and North America.   

Financial information related to our four segments and non-segment income and expense is included in the consolidated financial statements on 
pages 68–112.  Financial results are reported in U.S. dollars and are affected by fluctuations in the relative value of foreign currencies.  
Additional information about risks associated with our foreign operations is provided on pages 7, 47 and 67.  We have significant liabilities 
associated with our retirement plans, a portion of which has been funded.  See pages 55–58 and 84–92 for more information on these liabilities.  
Additional risk factors are described on pages 7–11.       

Business and Financial Highlights  
Brink’s operations are located throughout the world with the majority of our revenues (77%) and segment operating profit (98%) earned outside 
of North America. 

We serve customers in over 100 countries.  Our global network includes ownership interests in operations in 43 countries and agency 
relationships with companies in additional countries.  In some instances, local laws limit the extent of our ownership interest. 

Latin America’s operations include 442 branches in 11 countries.  Latin America’s operations generated $1.7 billion in revenues in 2013, 
representing 44% of Brink’s consolidated revenues and segment operating profit of $150 million (59% of consolidated segment operating 
profit).   In 2013, per-country revenues and percentage of total Latin America revenues for the largest countries in the region were as follows: 
Mexico – $450 million (26%), Venezuela – $447 million (26%), and Brazil – $392 million (23%). 

EMEA’s operations include 228 branches in 21 countries.  EMEA’s operations generated $1.2 billion in revenues in 2013, representing 30% of 
Brink’s consolidated revenues. Segment operating profit was $82 million, representing 32% of consolidated segment operating profit.  EMEA’s 
largest operation is in France with $543 million (46% of EMEA revenues).   

North America’s operations include 143 branches in the U.S. and 51 branches in Canada.  North America’s operations generated 2013 revenues 
of $898 million, representing 23% of Brink’s consolidated revenues. Segment operating profit was $5 million or 2% of consolidated segment 
operating profit.  

Asia Pacific operates 95 branches in 9 countries and generated $145 million in revenues (4% of consolidated revenues) and $17 million in 
segment operating profit (7% of consolidated segment operating profit) in 2013.

Services 
Brink’s provides customized contractual services designed to meet the distinct needs of our customers.  Revenues are generated from charges 
per service performed or based on the value of goods transported.  As a result, revenues are affected by the level of economic activity in various 
markets as well as the volume of business for specific customers.  Cash-in-transit (“CIT”) and ATM contracts usually cover an initial term of at 
least one year and in many cases one to three years, and generally remain in effect thereafter until canceled by either party.  Contracts for Cash 
Management Services are typically longer.  Costs are incurred when preparing to serve a new customer or to transition away from an existing 
customer.  Operating profit is generally stronger in the second half of the year, particularly in the fourth quarter, as economic activity is 
typically stronger during this period.  Following are descriptions of our diverse service offerings. 

Core Services (55% of total revenues in 2013) 
CIT and ATM Services are core services we provide to customers throughout the world.  Core services generated approximately $2.2 billion of 
revenues in 2013.    

CIT Services – Serving customers since 1859, our success in CIT is driven by a combination of rigorous security practices, high-quality 
customer service, risk management and logistics expertise.  CIT Services generally include the secure transportation of: 
 
 
 

cash between businesses and financial institutions such as banks and credit unions 
cash, securities and other valuables between commercial banks, central banks and investment banking and brokerage firms 
new currency, coins, bullion and precious metals for central banks and other customers 

ATM Services – We provide customers who own and operate ATMs a variety of service options.  We manage 88,800 ATMs worldwide. 
  We provide basic ATM management services using our secure transportation network, including cash replenishment and first and 

second line maintenance. 

  We also provide premium service levels for Brink's Integrated Managed Services (“Brink’s IMS”) clients.  Brink's IMS’ offerings 
include cash replenishment, replenishment forecasting, cash optimization, ATM remote monitoring, service call dispatching, 
transaction processing, installation services, and first and second line maintenance.

High-Value Services (37% of total revenues in 2013) 
Our Core Services, combined with our brand and global infrastructure, provide a substantial platform from which we offer additional High-
Value Services.  High-Value Services generated approximately $1.5 billion of revenues in 2013. 

Global Services  – Serving customers in more than 100 countries, Brink’s is a leading global provider of secure logistics for valuables 
including diamonds, jewelry, precious metals, securities, currency, high-tech devices, electronics and pharmaceuticals.  Our 
comprehensive suite of services includes packing, pickup, secure storage, inventory management, customs clearance, consolidation and 
secure transport and delivery through a combination of armored vehicles and secure air and sea transportation to leverage our extensive 
global network.  Our specialized diamond and jewelry operations have offices in the world’s major diamond and jewelry centers. 

Cash Management Services – Brink’s offers a fully integrated approach to managing the supply chain of cash, from point-of-sale through 
transport, vaulting, bank deposit and related credit.  Cash Management Services include: 
  money processing (e.g., counting, sorting, wrapping, checking condition of bills, etc.) and other cash management services 
 
 
 

deploying and servicing “intelligent” safes and safe control devices, including our patented CompuSafe®  service 
integrated check and cash processing services (“Virtual Vault”) 
check imaging services  

Other cash management services include cashier balancing, counterfeit detection, account consolidation and electronic reporting.  Retail 
and bank customers use Brink’s to count and reconcile coins and currency, prepare bank deposit information and replenish coins and 
currency in specific denominations.   

Brink’s offers a variety of advanced technology applications, including online cash tracking, cash inventory management, check imaging 
for real-time deposit processing, and a variety of other web-based tools that enable banks and other customers to reduce costs while 
improving service to their customers. 

Brink’s CompuSafe® service offers customers an integrated, closed-loop system for preventing theft and managing cash.  We market 
CompuSafe services to a variety of cash-intensive customers such as convenience stores, gas stations, restaurants, retail chains and 
entertainment venues.  Once the specialized safe is installed, the customer’s employees deposit currency into the safe’s cassettes, which 
can only be removed by Brink’s personnel.  Upon removal, the cassettes are securely transported to a vault for processing where contents 
are verified and transferred for deposit.  Our CompuSafe service features currency-recognition and counterfeit-detection technology, 
multi-language touch screens and an electronic interface between the point-of-sale, back-office systems and external banks.  Our 
electronic reporting interface with external banks enables customers to receive same-day credit on their cash balances, even if the cash 
remains on the customer’s premises.  

Virtual Vault services combine CIT Services, Cash Management Services, vaulting and electronic reporting technologies to help banks 
expand into new markets while minimizing investment in vaults and branch facilities.  In addition to providing secure storage, we process 
deposits, provide check imaging and reconciliation services, perform currency inventory management, process ATM replenishment 
orders and electronically transmit banking transactions.   

We believe the quality and scope of our money processing and information systems differentiate our Cash Management Services from 
competitive offerings.  

Payment Services – We provide convenient payment services, including bill payment processing, mobile top-up, Brink’s Money™ 
prepaid cards, and the Brink’s Checkout service.   

Bill payment processing services include bill payment acceptance and processing services on behalf of utility companies and other billers.  
Consumers can pay bills, top-up prepaid mobile phones and manage accounts at Brink’s payment locations or locations that we operate 
on behalf of utility companies and banks.  This service is offered at over 20,000 locations in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and Panama. 

We offer Brink’s Money™ prepaid payroll cards to employers so that they can pay their employees electronically.  Brink’s Money™ 
cards can be used at stores, restaurants and online retailers, provide access to cash at ATM’s worldwide, and are more efficient than 
traditional paper paychecks. This product is targeted to the millions of unbanked and under-banked Americans looking for alternative 
financial products.  

In January 2014, we launched Brink’s Checkout, a payment processing service that enables merchants to sell online to global 
markets.  Brink’s Checkout is a turn‐key e‐commerce payments service that complies with Payment Card Industry (PCI) data security 

3 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
standards and enables merchants to accept online credit card, debit card and PayPal™ payments.  The system can be set up in minutes and 
works across 196 countries, 26 different currencies, and 15 languages. 

Commercial Security Systems –We provide commercial security system services in designated markets in Europe.  Our security system 
design and installation services include alarms, motion detectors, closed-circuit televisions, digital video recorders, and access control 
systems, including card and biometric readers, electronic locks, and turnstiles.  Monitoring services may also be provided after systems 
have been installed. 

Other Security Services (8% of total revenues in 2013) 

Security and Guarding – We protect airports, offices, warehouses, stores, and public venues with or without electronic surveillance, 
access control, fire prevention and highly trained patrolling personnel. 

We offer security and guarding services in France, Luxembourg, Greece and Germany.  A portion of this business involves long-term 
contracts related primarily to security services at airports and embassies.  Generally, guarding contracts are for a one-year period, and the 
majority of contracts are extended.   

Strategy  
Our growth strategy is as follows:  

  Maximize profits in developed markets 

o 
o 

Invest in higher-margin solutions to shift revenue mix from Core Services to High-Value Services. 
Invest in Brink’s Integrated Management Services, which provides cash supply chain solutions for our financial institution 
customers.  See page 2 for more detail.  
o  Reduce presence in underperforming markets. 

 

 

Invest in emerging markets that meet internal metrics for projected growth, profitability and return on investment.  Continue to 
invest in Latin America to benefit from strong growth in the region. 
Invest in adjacent security-related markets where we can create value for customers with our brand, security expertise, global 
infrastructure and other competitive advantages.   

o  Examples include several new Payment Services businesses that provide services to consumers and small businesses.   
o  Explore the re-entry of the monitored home security and "smart home" industry.  In 2008, we spun off our residential 

security business, and we believe consumers continue to trust our brand and capabilities. 

Our strategy to control costs is as follows: 

  Global procurement – achieve cost synergies available to companies of Brink’s size and geographic scope.   
  Centralize management and reduce costs of key functions, such as purchase and maintenance of our fleet, IT resources, travel 

management, and back-office functions such as finance and human resources. 

  Organizational structure – ensure appropriate spans of control and layers of management to promote an effective and non-

bureaucratic structure. 

  Deliver on productivity investments and cost control efforts in the U.S.

Industry and Competition 
Brink’s competes with large multinational, regional and smaller companies throughout the world.  Our largest multinational competitors are 
G4S plc (U.K.); Loomis AB (Sweden); Prosegur, Compania de Seguridad, S.A. (Spain); and Garda World Security Corporation (Canada).  

We believe the primary factors in attracting and retaining customers are security expertise, service quality, and price.  Our competitive 
advantages include: 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

brand name recognition 
reputation for a high level of service and security 
risk management and logistics expertise 
value-based solutions expertise  
global infrastructure and customer base 
proprietary cash processing and information systems 
proven operational excellence 
high-quality insurance coverage and financial strength 

Our cost structure is generally competitive, although certain competitors may have lower costs due to a variety of factors, including lower 
wages, less costly employee benefits, and less stringent security and service standards.  

Although we face competitive pricing pressure in many markets, we resist competing on price alone.  We believe our high levels of service and 
security, as well as value-added solutions differentiate us from competitors.   

The availability of high-quality and reliable insurance coverage is an important factor in our ability to attract and retain customers and manage 
the risks inherent in our business.  We purchase insurance coverage for losses in excess of what we consider to be prudent levels of self-
insurance.  Our insurance policies cover losses from most causes, with the exception of war, nuclear risk and certain other exclusions typical in 
such policies.   

Insurance for security is provided by different groups of underwriters at negotiated rates and terms.  Premiums fluctuate depending on market 
conditions.  The security loss experience of Brink’s and, to a limited extent, other armored carriers affects our premium rates. 

Service Mark and Patents 
BRINKS is a registered service mark in the U.S. and certain foreign countries.  The BRINKS mark, name and related marks are of material 
significance to our business.  We own patents for safes and related services, including our integrated CompuSafe® service, which expire 
between 2015 and 2027.  These patents provide us with important advantages; however, we are not dependent on the existence of these patents.  

We have licensed the Brink’s name to a limited number of companies, including a distributor of security products (padlocks, door hardware, 
etc.) offered for sale to consumers through major retail chains. 

Government Regulation 
Our U.S. operations are subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of Transportation with respect to safety of operations, equipment and 
financial responsibility.  Intrastate operations in the U.S. are subject to state regulation.  Operations outside of the United States are regulated to 
varying degrees by the countries in which we operate. 

Employee Relations 
At December 31, 2013, our company had approximately 65,100 full-time and contract employees, including approximately 7,600 employees in 
the United States (of whom approximately 950 were classified as part-time employees) and approximately 57,500 employees outside the United 
States.  At December 31, 2013, Brink’s was a party to twelve collective bargaining agreements in North America with various local unions 
covering approximately 1,700 employees.  The agreements have various expiration dates from 2014 to 2020.  Outside of North America, 
approximately 58% of employees are represented by trade union organizations.  We believe our employee relations are satisfactory.   

Acquisitions 
Below is a summary of the significant businesses we acquired in the last three years.  See note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for 
more information on these acquisitions. 

France. In January 2012, we acquired Kheops, SAS, a provider of logistics software and related services, for $17 million.  This acquisition 
gives us proprietary control of software used primarily in our CIT and Cash Management Services operations in France.   

Brazil. In January 2013, we acquired Brazil-based Rede Transacoes Eletronicas Ltda. (“Rede Trel”) for $28 million.  Rede Trel distributes 
electronic prepaid products, including mobile phone airtime, via a network of approximately 20,000 retail locations across Brazil.  Rede Trel’s 
strong distribution network supplements Brink’s existing payments business, ePago, which has operations in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and 
Panama.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS  

We operate in highly competitive industries.   

We compete in industries that are subject to significant competition and pricing pressures in most markets.  In addition, our business model 
requires significant fixed costs associated with offering many of our services including costs to operate a fleet of armored vehicles and a 
network of secure branches.  Because we believe we have competitive advantages such as brand name recognition and a reputation for a high 
level of service and security, we resist competing on price alone.  However, continued pricing pressure from competitors or failure to achieve 
pricing based on the competitive advantages identified above could result in lost volume of business and have an adverse effect on our 
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.  In addition, given the highly competitive nature of our industries, it is 
important to develop new solutions and product and service offerings to help retain and expand our customer base.  Failure to develop, sell and 
execute new solutions and offerings in a timely and efficient manner could also negatively affect our ability to retain our existing customer base 
or pricing structure and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 

Decreased use of cash could have a negative impact on our business. 

The proliferation of payment options other than cash, including credit cards, debit cards, stored-value cards, mobile payments and on-line 
purchase activity, could result in a reduced need for cash in the marketplace and a decline in the need for physical bank branches and retail 
stores.  To mitigate this risk, we are developing new lines of business and investing in adjacent security-related markets, but there is a risk that 
these initiatives may not offset the risks associated with our traditional cash-based business and that our business, financial condition, results of 
operations and cash flows could be negatively impacted.  

We have significant operations outside the United States.  

We currently serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 43 countries where we operate subsidiaries.  Eighty-two percent (82%) of 
our revenue in 2013 came from operations outside the U.S.  We expect revenue outside the U.S. to continue to represent a significant portion of 
total revenue.  Business operations outside the U.S. are subject to political, economic and other risks inherent in operating in foreign countries, 
such as: 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

the difficulty of enforcing agreements, collecting receivables and protecting assets through foreign legal systems; 
trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements; 
difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations; 
required compliance with a variety of foreign laws and regulations; 
enforcement of our global compliance program in foreign countries with a variety of laws, cultures and customs; 
varying permitting and licensing requirements in different jurisdictions; 
foreign ownership laws;  
changes in the general political and economic conditions in the countries where we operate, particularly in emerging markets; 
threat of nationalization and expropriation; 
potential termination of the use of the euro and adoption of weaker new currencies as a result of the continued crisis in the Euro zone; 
higher costs and risks of doing business in a number of foreign jurisdictions;  
laws or other requirements and restrictions associated with organized labor; 
limitations on the repatriation of earnings; 
fluctuations in equity, revenues and profits due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, including measures taken by 
governments to devalue official currency exchange rates; 
inflation levels exceeding that of the U.S; and 
inability to collect for services provided to government entities. 

We are exposed to certain risks when we operate in countries that have high levels of inflation, including the risk that: 

 
 
 
 

the rate of price increases for services will not keep pace with the cost of inflation; 
adverse economic conditions may discourage business growth which could affect demand for our services; 
the devaluation of the currency may exceed the rate of inflation and reported U.S. dollar revenues and profits may decline; and 
these countries may be deemed “highly inflationary” for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) purposes. 

We manage these risks by monitoring current and anticipated political and economic developments, monitoring adherence to our global 
compliance program and adjusting operations as appropriate.  Changes in the political or economic environments of the countries in which we 
operate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 

7 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The gap between the official exchange rate in Venezuela and the unofficial rate widened in 2013.  We expect the gap to continue to widen 
in the future.  We use the official exchange rate to translate the income statements and balance sheets of our Venezuelan operations and 
our consolidated results expressed in U.S. dollars would not be as favorable if we had used unofficial rates.   

The unofficial currency exchange markets used to exchange Venezuelan bolivars to U.S. dollars report rates that are significantly less favorable 
than the local official rate.  At December 31, 2013, we held $93.8 million of cash and cash equivalents denominated in bolivars based on 
current official exchange rates.  The amount of cash reported in our consolidated balance sheet at the end of 2013 would have declined by $86 
million had we used recent unofficial market rates instead of the official rate to remeasure the local currency.  Similarly, our reported revenues 
related to Venezuela would have declined by approximately $400 million. 

Currency restrictions in Venezuela limit our ability to use earnings and cash flows outside of Venezuela and may negatively affect ongoing 
operations in Venezuela.   

Because most of our past requests to convert bolivars to dollars have not been approved and certain past processes to obtain dollars are no 
longer available, we do not expect to be able to repatriate cash from Venezuela for the foreseeable future.  Therefore, we do not expect to be 
able to use cash held in Venezuela for any purpose outside of that country, including reducing our U.S. debt, funding growth or business 
acquisitions or returning cash to shareholders.     

We believe that currency exchange restrictions in Venezuela may disrupt the operation of our business in Venezuela because we may be unable 
to pay for goods and services that are required to be paid in dollars.  This could reduce our ability to provide services to our customers in 
Venezuela, or could increase the cost of delivering the services, which would negatively affect our earnings and cash flows, and could result in 
a loss of control, shutdown or loss of the business in Venezuela.  

Currency restrictions in Argentina may require us to use more expensive methods to repatriate earnings. 

The Argentinean government has, from time-to-time, imposed limits on the exchange of local pesos into U.S. dollars.  As a result, we have 
elected in the past and may elect in the future to repatriate cash from Argentina using alternative legal methods, which may result in less 
favorable exchange rates.  At December 31, 2013, our Argentinean operations held $10.9 million in Argentinean pesos.  

Our growth strategy may not be successful. 

One element of our growth strategy is to extend our brand, strengthen our brand portfolio and expand our geographic reach through 
investments in adjacent security-related markets and selective acquisitions and divestitures.  While we may identify opportunities for 
investments to support our growth strategy as well as acquisition and divestiture opportunities, our due diligence examinations and positions 
that we may take with respect to appropriate valuations for acquisitions and divestitures and other transaction terms and conditions may hinder 
our ability to successfully complete business transactions to achieve our strategic goals.  In addition we may fail to achieve strategic objectives 
and anticipated revenue and segment operating profit improvements. There can be no assurance that: 

  we will identify and be successful in pursuing investment opportunities, 
  we will be able to acquire attractive businesses on favorable terms, 
 
 

all future acquisitions will be accretive to earnings, or 
future acquisitions will be rapidly and efficiently integrated into existing operations.   

We may be unable to achieve, or may be delayed in achieving, our cost control initiatives. 

We have launched a number of cost control initiatives to improve operating efficiencies and reduce operating costs.  Although we have 
achieved annual cost savings associated with these initiatives, we may be unable to sustain the cost savings that we have achieved.  In addition, 
if we are unable to achieve, or have any unexpected delays in achieving, additional cost savings, our results of operations and cash flow may be 
adversely affected.  Even if we meet our goals as a result of these initiatives, we may not receive the expected financial benefits of these 
initiatives. 

We may not realize the expected benefits of strategic acquisitions because of integration difficulties and other challenges, which may 
adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. 

Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from recent acquisitions will depend, in part, on successfully integrating each business with our 
company as well as improving operating performance and profitability through our management efforts and capital investments.  The risks to a 
successful integration and improvement of operating performance and profitability include, among others, failure to implement our business 
plan, unanticipated issues in integrating  operations with ours, unanticipated changes in laws and regulations, labor unrest resulting from union 

8 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
operations, regulatory, environmental and permitting issues, the effect on our internal controls and compliance with the regulatory requirements 
under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and difficulties in fully identifying and evaluating potential liabilities, risks and operating issues.  The 
occurrence of any of these events may adversely affect our expected benefits of the recent acquisitions and may have a material adverse effect 
on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. 

We have significant deferred tax assets in the United States that may not be realized. 

Deferred tax assets are future tax deductions that result primarily from net operating losses and the net tax effects of temporary differences 
between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes.  We have $242 million of U.S. deferred 
tax assets recorded at the end of 2013 primarily related to our retirement plan obligations.  These future tax deductions may not be realized if 
our expectations of future margin improvements of our U.S. business are not attained.  Consequently, not realizing our U.S. deferred tax assets 
may significantly and materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 

Restructuring charges may be required in the future.   

There is a possibility we will take restructuring actions in one or more of our markets in the future to reduce expenses if a major customer is 
lost, if recurring operating losses continue, or if one of the risks described above in connection with our foreign operations materializes.  These 
actions could result in significant restructuring charges at these subsidiaries, including recognizing impairment charges to write down assets, 
and recording accruals for employee severance and operating leases.  These charges, if required, could significantly and materially affect 
results of operations and cash flows. 

We have significant retirement obligations.  Poor investment performance of retirement plan holdings and / or lower interest rates used to 
discount the obligations could unfavorably affect our liquidity and results of operations. 

We have substantial pension and retiree medical obligations, a portion of which have been funded.  The amount of these obligations is 
significantly affected by factors that are not in our control, including interest rates used to determine the present value of future payment 
streams, investment returns, medical inflation rates, participation rates and changes in laws and regulations.  The funded status of the primary 
U.S. pension plan was approximately 88% as of December 31, 2013.  Based on actuarial assumptions at the end of 2013, we expect that we will 
be required to make contributions totaling $110 million to the plan over the next five years.  This could adversely affect our liquidity and our 
ability to use our resources to make acquisitions and to otherwise grow our business.   

We have $589 million of actuarial losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at the end of 2013.  These losses relate to 
changes in actuarial assumptions that have increased the net liability for benefit plans.  These losses have not been recognized in earnings.  
These losses will be recognized in earnings in future periods to the extent they are not offset by future actuarial gains.  Our projections of future 
cash requirements and expenses for these plans could be adversely affected if our retirement plans have additional actuarial losses.   

Our earnings and cash flow could be materially affected by increased losses of customer valuables.  

We purchase insurance coverage for losses of customer valuables for amounts in excess of what we consider prudent deductibles and/or 
retentions.  Insurance is provided by different groups of underwriters at negotiated rates and terms.  Coverage is available to us in major 
insurance markets, although premiums charged are subject to fluctuations depending on market conditions.  Our loss experience and that of 
other companies in our industry affects premium rates.  We are not insured for losses below our coverage limits and recognize expense up to 
these limits for actual losses.  Our insurance policies cover losses from most causes, with the exception of war, nuclear risk and various other 
exclusions typical for such policies.  The availability of high-quality and reliable insurance coverage is an important factor in obtaining and 
retaining customers and managing the risks of our business.  If our losses increase, or if we are unable to obtain adequate insurance coverage at 
reasonable rates, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. 

We have risks associated with confidential individual information.  

In the normal course of business, we collect, process and retain sensitive and confidential information about individuals.  Despite the security 
measures we have in place, our facilities and systems, and those of third-party service providers and business partners, could be vulnerable to 
security breaches (including cybersecurity breaches), acts of vandalism, computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming or human 
errors or other similar events.  Any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential 
information, whether by us or by third-party service providers, could damage our reputation, expose us to the risks of litigation and liability, 
disrupt our business or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.  

9 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Negative publicity to our name or brand could lead to a loss of revenue or profitability. 

We are in the security business and our success and longevity are based to a large extent on our reputation for trust and integrity.  Our 
reputation or brand, particularly the trust placed in us by our customers, could be negatively impacted in the event of perceived or actual 
breaches in our ability to conduct our business ethically, securely and responsibly.  Any damage to our brand could have a material adverse 
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 

Failures of our IT system could have a material adverse effect on our business.  

We are heavily dependent on our information technology (IT) infrastructure.  Significant problems with our infrastructure, such as telephone or 
IT system failure, cybersecurity breaches, or failure to develop new technology platforms to support new initiatives and product and service 
offerings, could halt or delay our ability to service our customers, hinder our ability to conduct and expand our business and require significant 
remediation costs.  In addition, we continue to evaluate and implement upgrades to our IT systems.  We are aware of inherent risks associated 
with replacing these systems, including accurately capturing data and system disruptions, and believe we are taking appropriate action to 
mitigate these risks through testing, training, and staging implementation.  However, there can be no assurances that we will successfully 
launch these systems as planned or that they will occur without disruptions to our operations. Any of these events could have a material adverse 
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 

We operate in regulated industries.  

Our U.S. operations are subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of Transportation with respect to safety of operations and equipment and 
financial responsibility.  Intrastate operations in the U.S. are subject to regulation by state regulatory authorities and interprovincial operations 
in Canada are subject to regulation by Canadian and provincial regulatory authorities.  Our international operations are regulated to varying 
degrees by the countries in which we operate.  Many countries have permit requirements for security services and prohibit foreign companies 
from providing different types of security services. 

Changes in laws or regulations could require a change in the way we operate, which could increase costs or otherwise disrupt operations.  In 
addition, failure to comply with any applicable laws or regulations could result in substantial fines or revocation of our operating permits and 
licenses.  If laws and regulations were to change or we failed to comply, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows 
could be materially and adversely affected. 

Our inability to access capital or significant increases in our cost of capital could adversely affect our business.   

Our ability to obtain adequate and cost-effective financing depends on our credit ratings as well as the liquidity of financial markets.  A 
negative change in our ratings outlook or any downgrade in our current investment-grade credit ratings by the rating agencies could adversely 
affect our cost and/or access to sources of liquidity and capital. Additionally, such a downgrade could increase the costs of borrowing under 
available credit lines.  Disruptions in the capital and credit markets could adversely affect our ability to access short-term and long-term capital.  
Our access to funds under short-term credit facilities is dependent on the ability of the participating banks to meet their funding commitments.  
Those banks may not be able to meet their funding commitments if they experience shortages of capital and liquidity.  Longer disruptions in the 
capital and credit markets as a result of uncertainty, changing or increased regulation, reduced alternatives, or failures of significant financial 
institutions could adversely affect our access to capital needed for our business. 

We have retained obligations from the sale of BAX Global.   

In January 2006 we sold BAX Global (the Company’s former international freight forwarding and logistics operations).  We retained some of 
the obligations related to these operations, primarily for taxes owed prior to the date of sale.  In addition, we provided indemnification 
customary for these sorts of transactions.  Future unfavorable developments related to these matters could require us to record additional 
expenses or make cash payments in excess of recorded liabilities.  The occurrence of these events could have a material adverse effect on our 
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 

We are subject to covenants for our credit facilities and for our unsecured notes.   

Our credit facilities as well as our unsecured notes are subject to financial covenants, including a limit on the ratio of debt to earnings before 
interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, limits on the ability to pledge assets, limits on the total amount of indebtedness we can incur, 
limits on the use of proceeds of asset sales and minimum coverage of interest costs.  Although we believe none of these covenants are presently 
restrictive to operations, the ability to meet the financial covenants can be affected by changes in our results of operations or financial 
condition.  We cannot provide assurance that we will meet these covenants.  A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under 
existing credit facilities.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default under any of our credit facilities, the lenders could cause amounts 

10 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
outstanding to be immediately payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit.  The occurrence of these events would have a 
significant effect on our liquidity and cash flows.   

Our effective income tax rate could change.   

We serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 43 countries where we operate subsidiaries, all of which have different income tax 
laws and associated income tax rates.  Our effective income tax rate can be significantly affected by changes in the mix of pretax earnings by 
country and the related income tax rates in those countries.  In addition, our effective income tax rate is significantly affected by the ability to 
realize deferred tax assets, including those associated with net operating losses.  Changes in income tax laws, income apportionment, or 
estimates of the ability to realize deferred tax assets, could significantly affect our effective income tax rate, financial position and results of 
operations.  We are subject to the regular examination of our income tax returns by various tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood 
of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for taxes. There can be no assurance that the 
outcomes from these examinations will not have a material adverse effect on our business. 

We have certain environmental and other exposures related to our former coal operations.   

We may incur future environmental and other liabilities in connection with our former coal operations, which could materially and adversely 
affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.  

We may be exposed to certain regulatory and financial risks related to climate change. 

Growing concerns about climate change may result in the imposition of additional environmental regulations to which we are subject.  Some 
form of federal regulation may be forthcoming with respect to greenhouse gas emissions (including carbon dioxide) and/or "cap and trade" 
legislation.  The outcome of this legislation may result in new regulation, additional charges to fund energy efficiency activities or other 
regulatory actions.  Compliance with these actions could result in the creation of additional costs to us, including, among other things, 
increased fuel prices or additional taxes or emission allowances.  We may not be able to recover the cost of compliance with new or more 
stringent environmental laws and regulations from our customers, which could adversely affect our business.  Furthermore, the potential effects 
of climate change and related regulation on our customers are highly uncertain and may adversely affect our operations.

(a)  For the line designated as “The Brink’s Company” the graph depicts the cumulative return on $100 invested in The Brink’s Company’s common 
stock.  For the S&P Midcap 400 Index and the S&P Midcap 400 Commercial Services & Supplies Index, cumulative returns are measured on an 
annual basis for the periods from December 31, 2008, through December 31, 2013, with the value of each index set to $100 on December 31, 2008.  
Total return assumes reinvestment of dividends.  We chose the S&P Midcap 400 Index and the S&P Midcap 400 Commercial Services & Supplies 
Index because we are included in these indices, which broadly measure the performance of mid-size companies in the United States market.

Executive Summary  

Non-GAAP Financial Measures 
We provide an analysis of our operations below on both a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and non-GAAP basis.  The 
purpose of the non-GAAP information is to report our financial information as follows:  

excluding retirement expenses related to frozen retirement plans and retirement plans from former operations 

 
  without certain income and expense items in 2011, 2012 and 2013 
 

after adjusting tax expense for certain items 

The non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide information to assist comparability and estimates of future performance.  The 
adjustments are described in detail and are reconciled to our GAAP results on pages 40–46. 

2013 versus 2012  

GAAP  
In 2013, our revenues increased $207.2 million or 6% and operating profit decreased $3.3 million or 2%.  Revenues increased primarily due to 
organic growth in Latin America, partially offset by unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates.  Operating profit decreased primarily due 
to the negative impact of changes in currency exchange rates ($36.1 million) and an organic profit decrease in North America ($26.8 million), 
partially offset by organic profit improvement in Latin America ($50.6 million) and a decrease in non-segment expenses ($7.8 million). 

Income from continuing operations attributable to Brink’s shareholders in 2013 decreased 35% compared to 2012 primarily due to higher tax 
expense ($24.9 million) mainly resulting from a $21.1 million tax benefit related to a change in retiree healthcare funding strategy in 2012, 
lower interest and other non-operating income ($5.6 million), and higher income attributable to noncontrolling interests ($3.5 million), in 
addition to the operating profit decrease mentioned above. 

Earnings per share from continuing operations was $1.47, down from $2.29 in 2012. 

Non-GAAP 
The analysis of non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of GAAP revenues.   

Operating profit increased $15.0 million in 2013 primarily due to organic growth in our Latin America segment ($60.3 million), partially offset 
by an organic decrease in North America ($24.0 million) and the negative impact of changes in currency exchange rates ($22.7 million). 

20 

 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Income from continuing operations attributable to Brink’s shareholders in 2013 increased 3% primarily due to the operating profit increase 
mentioned above and lower tax expense ($3.5 million), partially offset by higher income attributable to noncontrolling interests ($10.1 million). 

Earnings per share from continuing operations was $2.37, up from $2.32 in 2012. 

2012 versus 2011 

GAAP  
In 2012, our revenues increased $72.1 million or 2% and operating profit decreased $27.5 million or 14% from 2011.  Revenues increased due 
to organic growth in our Latin America and EMEA segments, partially offset by unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates and an 
organic decrease in our North America segment.  Operating profit decreased primarily due to increased U.S. retirement plan expenses ($28.2 
million), the negative impact of changes in currency exchange rates ($15.2 million) and a gain recognized in 2011 on the sale of the U.S. 
Document Destruction business ($6.7 million), partially offset by organic profit improvement in our EMEA segment ($21.7 million) and a gain 
on the sale of real estate in Venezuela ($7.2 million). 

Income from continuing operations attributable to Brink’s shareholders in 2012 increased 11% compared to 2011 primarily due to lower tax 
expense ($36.9 million) mainly resulting from a $21.1 million tax benefit related to a change in retiree healthcare funding strategy, and lower 
income attributable to noncontrolling interests ($3.2 million), partially offset by the operating profit decrease mentioned above. 

Earnings per share from continuing operations was $2.29, up from $2.09 in 2011. 

Non-GAAP 
The analysis of non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of GAAP revenues.   

Our operating profit decreased $1.2 million in 2012.  Operating profit decreased primarily due to the negative impact of changes in currency 
exchange rates ($15.2 million) and lower results in our Latin America ($8.0 million) and Asia Pacific ($6.0 million) segments on an organic 
basis, partially offset by organic improvement in our EMEA ($21.7 million) and North American ($7.1 million) segments. 

Income from continuing operations attributable to Brink’s shareholders in 2012 was flat versus 2011 as lower income attributable to 
noncontrolling interests ($4.1 million) was offset by higher tax expense ($3.0 million) and the lower operating profit mentioned above. 

Earnings per share from continuing operations was $2.32, down from $2.34 in 2011. 

Outlook 
See page 39 for a summary of our 2014 Outlook. 

GAAP  
Overall 
Our organic revenue growth rate for 2014 is expected to be in the 5% to 8% range, and our estimate of the negative impact of changes in 
currency exchange rates on revenue is in the 3% to 5% range.  Our operating segment margin is expected to be about 6.8%.  

By Segment 
Latin America organic revenue growth rate for 2014 is expected to be in the 12% to 14% range, and our estimate of the negative impact of 
changes in currency exchange rates on Latin America revenue is in the 6% to 8% range.  Our Latin America segment margin is expected to be 
in the 7.5% to 9.5% range.   

EMEA organic revenue growth rate for 2014 is expected to be in the 0% to 2% range, and our estimate of the negative impact of changes in 
currency exchange rates on EMEA revenue is in the 1% to 3% range.  Our EMEA segment margin is expected to be in the 6% to 8% range.  

North America organic revenue growth rate for 2014 is expected to be in the 0% to 2% range, with no impact of changes in currency exchange 
rates.  Our North America segment margin is expected to be in the 1.5% to 2.5% range for 2014.  We expect the North American margin to 
improve in 2014 and 2015, and we have a goal to reach 7% in 2016.

Asia Pacific organic revenue growth rate for 2014 is expected to be in the 5% to 7% range, and our estimate of the negative impact of changes 
in currency exchange rates on Asia Pacific revenue is in the 1% to 3% range.  Our Asia Pacific segment margin is expected to be in the 9.5% to 
11.5% range.   

Non-GAAP 
Overall 
Our outlook for non-GAAP revenues is the same as our outlook for GAAP revenues.  Our outlook for non-GAAP operating segment margin is 
expected to be about 7%.   

By Segment 
Our outlook for non-GAAP segment margin is the same as our outlook for GAAP segment margin for all segments except for North 
America.  North America non-GAAP segment margin excludes the cost of U.S. retirement plans and is expected to be in the 2.5% to 3.5% 
range.  

Performing Branches in U.S. 
Performing branches is an internal profitability metric we use to measure our U.S. operations.  We considered 45% of our branches to be 
performing branches in the U.S. at the end of 2013.  Our goal is to increase performing branches to 75% by the end of 2016.   

Definition of Organic Growth 
Organic growth represents the change in revenues or operating profit between the current and prior period, excluding the effect of:  acquisitions 
and dispositions, changes in currency exchange rates (as described on page 27) and the remeasurement of net monetary assets in Venezuela 
under highly inflationary accounting. 

Business and Strategy Overview  
We have four geographic operating segments:   

Latin America 
Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”) 

 
 
  North America (U.S. and Canada) 
  Asia Pacific 

We believe that Brink’s has significant competitive advantages including: 

reputation for a high level of service and security 
risk management and logistics expertise 

  brand name recognition 
 
 
  value-based solutions expertise  
  global infrastructure and customer base 
  proprietary cash processing and information systems 
  proven operational excellence 
  high-quality insurance coverage and general financial strength  

We focus our time and resources on service quality, protecting and strengthening our brand, and addressing our risks.  Our marketing and sales 
efforts are enhanced by the “Brink’s” brand, so we seek to protect and build its value.  Because our services focus on handling, transporting, 
protecting and managing valuables, we strive to understand and manage risk.  Overlaying our approach is an understanding that we must be 
disciplined and patient enough to charge prices that reflect the value provided, the risk assumed and the need for an adequate return for our 
investors. 

Because of our emphasis on managing risks while providing a high level of service, we focus our marketing and selling efforts on customers 
who appreciate the value and breadth of our services, information and risk management capabilities, and financial strength. 

In order to earn an adequate return on capital, we focus on the effective and efficient use of resources as well as appropriate pricing levels.  We 
attempt to maximize the amount of business that flows through our branches, vehicles and systems in order to obtain the lowest costs possible 
without compromising safety, security or service.  

Business environments around the world change constantly.  We must adapt to changes in competitive landscapes, regional economies and 
each customer’s level of business.   

22 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
The industries we serve have been consolidating.  As a result, the demands and expectations of customers in these industries have grown.  
Customers are increasingly seeking suppliers, such as Brink’s, with broad geographic solutions, sophisticated outsourcing capabilities and 
financial strength.   

Operating results may vary from period to period.  Because revenues are generated from charges per service performed or based on the value of 
goods transported, they can be affected by both the level of economic activity and the volume of business for specific customers.  As contracts 
generally run for one or more years, costs are incurred to prepare to serve, or to transition away, from a customer.  We also periodically incur 
costs to reduce operations when volumes decline, including costs to reduce the number of employees and close or consolidate branch and 
administrative facilities.  In addition, security costs can vary depending on performance, cost of insurance coverage, and changes in crime rates 
(i.e., attacks and robberies).   

Cash Management Services is a fully integrated solution that proactively manages the supply chain of cash from point-of-sale through bank 
deposit.  The process includes cashier balancing and reporting, deposit processing and consolidation, and electronic information exchange 
(including “same-day” credit capabilities).  Retail customers use Brink’s Cash Management Services to count and reconcile coins and currency 
in a secure environment, to prepare bank deposit information, and to replenish customer coins and currency in proper denominations. 

Because Cash Management Services involves a higher level of service and more complex activities, customers are charged higher prices, which 
result in higher margins.  The ability to offer Cash Management Services to customers differentiates Brink’s from many of its competitors.  
Management is focused on continuing to grow Cash Management Services revenue.   

Brink’s  revenues  and  related  operating  profit  are  generally  higher  in  the  second  half  of  the  year,  particularly  in  the  fourth  quarter,  due  to 
generally increased economic activity associated with the holiday season.  

Former Businesses 
We have significant liabilities associated with our former coal operations, primarily related to retirement plans, which are partially funded by 
plan trusts.     

Information about liabilities related to former operations is contained in the following sections of this report: 

Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations – on page 55 

  Non-segment Income (Expense) on page 33

Revenues  

GAAP  
2013 versus 2012  
Revenues in 2013 increased $207.2 million or 6% due to organic growth in our Latin America ($261.7 million), EMEA ($25.5 million), Asia 
Pacific ($15.3 million) and North America ($11.0 million) segments, partially offset by unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates 
($121.9 million). 

Revenues increased 8% on an organic basis due mainly to higher average selling prices (including the effects of inflation in several Latin 
American countries). 

See page 22 for our definition of “organic.” 

2012 versus 2011  
Revenues in 2012 increased $72.1 million or 2% due to organic growth in our Latin America ($215.4 million) and EMEA ($69.9 million) 
segments, partially offset by: 

 
 

unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates ($192.3 million) 
an organic decrease in our North America segment ($25.5 million). 

Revenues increased 7% on an organic basis due mainly to higher average selling prices (including the effects of inflation in several Latin 
American countries).

Non-GAAP  
2013 versus 2012  
The analysis of non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of GAAP revenues.   

2012 versus 2011 
The analysis of non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of GAAP revenues. 

Costs and Expenses 

GAAP  
2013 versus 2012 
Cost of revenues increased 6% to $3,197.1 million driven by higher labor costs from inflation-based wage increases.  Selling, general and 
administrative costs increased 3% to $564.0 million due primarily to higher labor costs. 

2012 versus 2011 
Cost of revenues increased 2% to $3,024.3 million driven by higher labor costs from inflation-based wage increases.  Selling, general and 
administrative costs increased 7% to $546.7 million due primarily to higher labor costs. 

Operating Profit  

GAAP  
2013 versus 2012 
Operating profit decreased 2% due mainly to: 

 

 
 
 

the negative impact of changes in currency exchange rates ($36.1), including a $13.4 million charge related to the remeasurement of 
net monetary assets as a result of the devaluation of Venezuela currency 
an organic decrease in our North America segment 
the $18.7 million loss related to the February 2013 robbery in Brussels, Belgium 
the 2012 gain recognized on the sale of real estate in Venezuela ($7.2 million) 

partially offset by organic growth in our Latin America and Asia-Pacific segments and lower non-segment expenses ($7.8 million). 

2012 versus 2011  
Operating profit decreased 14% due mainly to: 

 
 
 
 

increased U.S. retirement plan expenses ($28.2 million) 
the negative impact of changes in currency exchange rates ($15.2 million) 
the 2011 gain recognized on the sale of the U.S. Document Destruction business ($6.7 million) 
an organic decrease in our Asia Pacific segment ($6.0 million) 

partially offset by organic improvement in our EMEA segment ($21.7 million) and a gain on the sale of real estate in Venezuela ($7.2 million). 

Non-GAAP  
2013 versus 2012  
Operating profit increased 7% due mainly to organic growth in our Latin America and Asia-Pacific segments, partially offset by:

an organic decrease in our North America segment 
the $18.7 million loss related to the February 2013 robbery in Brussels, Belgium. 

2012 versus 2011 
Operating profit decreased $1.2 million primarily due to: 

 
 

the negative impact of changes in currency exchange rates ($15.2 million) 
organic decreases in our Latin America ($8.0 million) and Asia Pacific ($6.0 million) segments 
partially offset by organic improvement in our EMEA ($21.7 million) and North American ($7.1 million) segments.

Income from continuing operations and net income, and related per share amounts 
(attributable to Brink’s)  

GAAP 
2013 versus 2012 
Income from continuing operations attributable to Brink’s shareholders in 2013 decreased 35% compared to 2012 primarily due to higher tax 
expense ($24.9 million) mainly resulting from a $21.1 million tax benefit related to a change in retiree healthcare funding strategy in 2012, 
lower interest and other non-operating income ($5.6 million) and higher income attributable to noncontrolling interests ($3.5 million), in 
addition to the operating profit decrease mentioned previously. 

Earnings per share from continuing operations was $1.47, down from $2.29 in 2012. 

2012 versus 2011  
Income from continuing operations attributable to Brink’s shareholders in 2012 increased 11% compared to 2011 primarily due to lower tax 
expense ($36.9 million) mainly resulting from a $21.1 million tax benefit related to a change in retiree healthcare funding strategy and lower 
income attributable to noncontrolling interests ($3.2 million), partially offset by the operating profit decrease mentioned above. 

Earnings per share from continuing operations was $2.29, up from $2.09 in 2011. 

Non-GAAP 
2013 versus 2012 
Income from continuing operations attributable to Brink’s shareholders in 2013 increased 3% primarily due to the operating profit increase 
mentioned above and lower tax expense ($3.5 million), partially offset by higher income attributable to noncontrolling interests ($10.1 million). 

Earnings per share from continuing operations was $2.37, up from $2.32 in 2012. 

2012 versus 2011 
Income from continuing operations attributable to Brink’s shareholders in 2012 was flat versus 2011 as lower income attributable to 
noncontrolling interests ($4.1 million) was offset by higher tax expense ($3.0 million) and the operating profit decrease mentioned above. 

Earnings per share from continuing operations was $2.32, down from $2.34 in 2011.

Includes operating results and gains/losses on acquisitions, sales and exits of businesses.   

(a) 
(b)  The “Currency” amount in the table is the summation of the monthly currency changes, plus (minus) the U.S. dollar amount of remeasurement currency 
gains (losses) of bolivar denominated net monetary assets recorded under highly inflationary accounting rules related to the Venezuelan operations.  The 
monthly currency change is equal to the Revenue or Operating Profit for the month in local currency, on a country-by-country basis, multiplied by the 
difference in rates used to translate the current period amounts to U.S. dollars versus the translation rates used in the year-ago month.  The functional 
currency in Venezuela is the U.S. dollar under highly inflationary accounting rules.  Remeasurement gains and losses under these rules are recorded in U.S. 
dollars but these gains and losses are not recorded in local currency.  Local currency Revenue and Operating Profit used in the calculation of monthly 
currency change for Venezuela have been derived from the U.S. dollar results of the Venezuelan operations under U.S. GAAP (excluding remeasurement 
gains and losses) using current period currency exchange rates.

Segment Review 
2013 versus 2012 

Total Segment Operating Profit  

GAAP 
Segment operating profit decreased 4% due mainly to: 

 

 
 
 

unfavorable currency impact ($36.1 million), including a $13.4 million charge related to the remeasurement of net monetary assets as 
a result of the devaluation of Venezuela currency 
an organic decrease in our North America segment 
the $18.7 million loss related to the February 2013 robbery in Brussels, Belgium 
the 2012 gain recognized on the sale of real estate in Venezuela ($7.2 million) 

partially offset by organic increases in our Latin America and Asia-Pacific segments. 

Non-GAAP 
Segment operating profit increased 6% due to organic increases in our Latin America and Asia-Pacific segments, partially offset by: 

 
 
 

an organic decrease in our North America segment 
unfavorable currency impact ($22.7 million) 
the $18.7 million loss related to the February 2013 robbery in Brussels, Belgium. 

Latin America 

GAAP 
Revenue in Latin America increased 9% ($141.3 million) due to organic revenue growth ($261.7 million) partially offset by the unfavorable 
effect of currency exchange rates ($136.0 million). 

The 17% revenue growth on an organic basis ($261.7 million) was primarily due to inflation-based price increases across the region. 

Operating profit increased 11% ($14.8 million) as: 

 
 
 

higher profits in Venezuela, despite a 2012 gain on a building sale ($7.2 million) 
organic growth in Argentina, including 2012 write-offs of Argentinean government receivables ($4.1 million) 
organic growth in Brazil and Chile 

were partially offset by: 

 

 
 

unfavorable currency impact ($37.6 million), including a charge related to the remeasurement of net monetary assets as a result of the 
devaluation of Venezuela currency ($13.4 million) 
increased regional spending on productivity initiatives 
increased security costs. 

Non-GAAP 
The analysis of Latin America non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of Latin America GAAP revenues. 

Operating profit increased 29% ($37.9 million) as: 

 
 
 

higher profits in Venezuela 
organic growth in Argentina, including 2012 write-offs of Argentinean government receivables ($4.1 million) 
organic growth in Brazil and Chile 

were partially offset by:

increased security costs. 

EMEA 

GAAP 
EMEA revenues increased by 5% ($52.4 million) due to the favorable effect of currency exchange rates ($26.9 million) and organic growth 
($25.5 million). 

28 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Revenue increased on an organic basis by 2% driven by higher volumes in Ireland, Switzerland and Russia, partially offset by a 2012 
commercial settlement in the Netherlands and lower volumes in France due to a customer loss. 

EMEA operating profit decreased 7% ($6.6 million) due mainly to: 

 
 
 

higher security costs 
a 2012 commercial settlement in the Netherlands 
organic decreases in Germany, Greece and Morocco 

partially offset by the positive impact of currency exchange rates ($2.2 million) and the benefit of a change in tax legislation in France. 

Non-GAAP 
The analysis of EMEA non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of EMEA GAAP revenues. 

EMEA operating profit decreased 8% ($7.0 million) due to: 

 
 
 

higher security costs 
a 2012 commercial settlement in the Netherlands 
organic decreases in Germany, Greece and Morocco 

partially offset by the positive impact of currency exchange rates ($2.2 million) and the benefit of a change in tax legislation in France. 

North America  

GAAP 
Revenues in North America increased 1% ($5.1 million) due to a 1% organic increase ($11.0 million) as growth in Canada was offset by CIT 
volume and price pressure in the U.S. and unfavorable currency impact ($5.9 million) in Canada. 

Operating profit decreased 85% ($27.2 million) due to an organic decrease in the U.S. as a result of lower CIT demand, continued pricing 
pressure and higher security costs. 

Non-GAAP 
The analysis of North America non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of North America GAAP revenues. 

Operating profit decreased 60% ($24.4 million) due to an organic decrease in the U.S. as a result of lower CIT demand, continued pricing 
pressure and higher security costs. 

Most of the armored vehicles used by our U.S. operations are accounted for as operating leases.  The cost related to these leases is recognized 
as rental expense in the consolidated statements of income.  Since March 2009, we have acquired armored vehicles in the U.S. either by 
purchasing or by leasing under agreements that we have accounted for as capital leases.  We currently expect to continue acquiring new 
vehicles in the U.S. with capital leases.  The cost of vehicles under capital lease is recognized as depreciation and interest expense.  Because of 
the shift in the way we acquire vehicles in the U.S., our depreciation and interest related to the U.S. fleet is higher and our rental expense is 
lower compared to earlier periods and we expect this trend to continue.  

Asia Pacific 

GAAP 
Revenue in Asia Pacific increased 6% ($8.4 million) primarily due to organic growth in Hong Kong, Australia, Singapore and China, partially 
offset by the negative impact of currency exchange rates ($6.9 million). 

Operating profit increased 90% ($7.9 million) driven by organic increases in Hong Kong and Singapore, as well as lower regional overhead. 

Non-GAAP 
The analysis of Asia Pacific non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of Asia Pacific GAAP revenues. 

Operating profit increased $8.8 million driven by organic increases in Hong Kong and Singapore, as well as lower regional overhead.

Total Segment Operating Profit  

Segment Review 
2012 versus 2011 

GAAP 
Segment operating profit increased 1% as the positive impact of organic improvement in EMEA and decreased security costs were mostly 
offset by the negative impact of changes in currency exchange rates ($15.2 million) and lower profits in Asia Pacific on an organic basis. 

Non-GAAP 
Segment operating profit was flat as the positive impact of organic improvement in EMEA and decreased security costs were offset by the 
negative impact of changes in currency exchange rates ($15.2 million) and lower profits in Latin America and Asia Pacific on an organic basis. 

Latin America 

GAAP 
Revenue in Latin America increased 8% ($118.7 million) due to organic revenue growth ($215.4 million) partially offset by the unfavorable 
effect of currency exchange rates ($98.2 million). 

The 15% revenue growth on an organic basis ($215.4 million) was primarily due to inflation-based price increases across the region. 

Operating profit decreased 6% ($8.4 million) as: 

 
 
 

lower profits in Venezuela caused by pressure from government actions partially offset by a gain on a building sale ($7.2 million) 
unfavorable currency impact ($8.2 million) 
an organic decrease in Chile 

were partially offset by: 

 
 
 

organic growth in Mexico, Brazil and Argentina despite write-offs of Argentinean government receivables ($4.1 million) 
higher labor agreement expenses in the prior year period 
a 2011 tax on equity in Colombia which did not reoccur in 2012. 

Non-GAAP 
The analysis of Latin America non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of Latin America GAAP revenues. 

Operating profit decreased 11% ($15.5 million) due to: 

 
 
 

lower profits in Venezuela due to pressure from government actions 
unfavorable currency impact ($8.2 million) 
an organic decrease in Chile 

were partially offset by: 

 
 
 

organic growth in Mexico, Brazil and Argentina despite write-offs of Argentinean government receivables ($4.1 million) 
higher labor agreement expenses in the prior year period 
a 2011 tax on equity in Colombia, which did not reoccur in 2012.

EMEA 

GAAP 
EMEA revenues decreased by 1% ($17.1 million) due mainly to the unfavorable effect of currency exchange rates ($87.3 million), partially 
offset by organic growth ($69.9 million). 

Revenue increased on an organic basis by 6% due to: 

 
 

higher volumes in France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom 
a commercial settlement in the Netherlands. 

EMEA operating profit increased 20% ($14.7 million) due mainly to: 
organic improvement in France, Russia and the Netherlands 
improved security performance 
a commercial settlement in the Netherlands 

 
 
 

partially offset by the negative impact of currency exchange rates ($6.6 million). 

Non-GAAP 
The analysis of EMEA non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of EMEA GAAP revenues. 

EMEA operating profit increased 21% ($15.1 million) due to: 

 
 
 

organic improvement in France, Russia and the Netherlands 
improved security performance 
a commercial settlement in the Netherlands 

partially offset by the negative impact of currency exchange rates ($6.6 million). 

North America 

GAAP 
Revenues in North America decreased 3% ($30.1 million) due to a 3% organic decrease ($25.5 million) primarily from CIT volume and price 
pressure in the U.S. and unfavorable currency impact ($2.0 million) in Canada. 

Operating profit increased by $1.6 million due to organic improvement in the U.S. as a result of cost reductions despite lower CIT demand and 
continued pricing pressure, offset by increased U.S. retirement charges ($5.6 million). 

Non-GAAP 
The analysis of North America non-GAAP revenues is the same as the analysis of North America GAAP revenues. 

Operating profit increased $7.2 million due to organic improvements in the U.S. on cost reductions despite lower CIT demand and continued 
pricing pressure. 

Asia Pacific 

Revenue in Asia Pacific remained flat as growth in China and India was offset by the negative impact of currency exchange rates ($4.8 
million). 

Operating profit decreased $6.3 million driven by an organic decrease in India.

Non-segment expenses in 2013 were $7.8 million lower than 2012, mainly due to: 

 
 

lower retirement costs ($6.1 million) 
the inclusion in 2013 results of $1.7 million in gains from favorable purchase price adjustments primarily related to the January 2013 
purchase of Rede Trel in Brazil and a $1.1 million gain related to a favorable purchase price adjustment on the 2010 Mexico 
acquisition. 

Non-segment expenses in 2012 were $29.1 million or 49% higher than 2011, mainly due to: 

 
 

increased retirement costs ($22.6 million) 
the inclusion in 2011 results of $9.2 million in gains related to the sale of U.S. Document Destruction business ($6.7 million) and an 
adjustment to the bargain purchase gain in Mexico ($2.1 million) 

partially offset by: 

 

lower general and administrative costs ($2.2 million), including $4.1 million of 2011 expenses related to the retirement of the former 
CEO. 

Outlook for 2014 
We estimate that non-segment expenses on a GAAP basis will be approximately $64 million in 2014, a decrease from 2013 primarily as a 
result of lower retirement costs.  See page 39 for a summary of our 2014 Outlook.

Non-segment expenses on a non-GAAP basis in 2013 were flat compared to 2012. 

Non-segment expenses on a non-GAAP basis in 2012 were $1.7 million higher than 2011, mainly due to increased general and administrative 
costs. 

Outlook for 2014 
We estimate that non-segment expenses on a non-GAAP basis will be approximately $45 million in 2014, up slightly from 2013. See page 39

2013 versus 2012 
Other operating income decreased in 2013 primarily as a result of unfavorable factors including: 

 

 

$16.0 million in higher foreign currency exchange losses related primarily to the February 2013 devaluation of the official exchange 
rate in Venezuela ($13.4 million) and converting Argentinean pesos to U.S. dollars ($2.0 million) 
a $7.2 million gain on sale of real estate in Venezuela in 2012 

partially offset by 

 

 

$1.7 million in gains from favorable purchase price adjustments primarily related to a January 2013 purchase of payments business in 
Brazil 
a $1.1 million gain related to favorable purchase price adjustment for the 2010 Mexico acquisition. 

2012 versus 2011 
Other operating income decreased in 2012 primarily as a result of unfavorable factors including: 
a $6.7 million gain on the sale of U.S. Document Destruction business in 2011 
a $2.1 million bargain purchase gain adjustment recognized in 2011 related to the 2010 Mexico acquisition 
lower gains on hedging transactions ($2.0 million)

Interest expense was slightly higher in 2013 compared to 2012 due to an increase in average borrowings in the current year.   

Interest expense remained flat in 2012 compared to 2011. 

Outlook for 2014 
We expect our interest expense to be $27 million to $29 million in 2014 versus $25 million in 2013.  See page 39 for a summary of our 2014

Interest and other income (expense) was lower in 2013 primarily due to: 

 

 

 

a $2.5 million decrease in gain on available-for-sale securities as we realized gains in 2012 on security sales to fund  pension 
payments to former executives 
a $2.1 million decrease in interest income primarily due to lower amounts of investments in India as interest-earning short-term 
investments were sold to fund the repurchase of noncontrolling interest shares in our Indian subsidiary 
$1.0 million in foreign currency hedge losses in 2013 related to a cross currency swap contract. 

Interest and other income (expense) was lower in 2012 due to: 

 
 

a $1.5 million decrease in gain on available-for-sale securities 
a $0.9 million decrease in interest income. 

Outlook for 2014  
We expect our interest and other income to be $1 million to $2 million in 2014 versus $2 million in 2013. See page 39 for a summary of our 
2014 outlook.

Overview 
Our effective tax rate has varied in the past three years from the statutory U.S. federal rate due to various factors, including 

 
 
 
 
 
 

changes in judgment about the need for valuation allowances 
changes in the geographical mix of earnings 
nontaxable acquisition gains and losses 
changes in laws in the U.S., France and Mexico 
timing of benefit recognition for uncertain tax positions 
state income taxes 

We establish or reverse valuation allowances for deferred tax assets depending on all available information including historical and expected 
future operating performance of our subsidiaries.  Changes in judgment about the future realization of deferred tax assets can result in 
significant adjustments to the valuation allowances.  Based on our historical and future expected taxable earnings, we believe it is more likely 
than not that we will realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances.  

Continuing Operations 
2013 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate  
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in 2013 approximated the 35% U.S. statutory rate due to $6.1 million of tax expense 
from cross border payments and $4.4 million of tax expense due to the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax, mostly offset 
by a $8.7 million tax benefit due to the jurisdictional mix of earnings including the favorable Venezuela permanent inflation adjustment. 

2012 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate 
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in 2012 was lower than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate largely due to a $21.1 million 
non-cash tax benefit related to a change in retiree healthcare funding strategy and a $7.5 million tax benefit related to a change in judgment on 
uncertain tax positions, partially offset by $5.2 million of tax expense due to the jurisdictional mix of earnings and the characterization of a 
French business tax as an income tax. 

2011 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate 
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in 2011 approximated the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate largely due to a $3.4 million net 
income tax benefit related to a repatriation of cash to the U.S., offset by $3.4 million of tax expense in excess of the U.S. statutory rate due to 
the jurisdictional mix of earnings and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax.

Outlook for 2014 
On a GAAP and Non GAAP basis, the effective income tax rate for 2014 is expected to be between 33% and 37%.  Our effective tax rate may 
fluctuate materially from these estimates due to changes in permanent book-tax differences, changes in the expected geographical mix of 
earnings, changes in current or deferred taxes due to legislative changes, changes in valuation allowances or accruals for contingencies and 
other factors.  See page 39 for a summary of our 2014 Outlook. 

Other  
As of December 31, 2013, we have not recorded U.S. federal deferred income taxes on approximately $259 million of undistributed earnings of 
foreign subsidiaries and equity affiliates in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes.  We expect that these earnings will be 
permanently reinvested in operations outside the U.S.  It is not practical to compute the estimated deferred tax liability on these earnings.

 (13)

The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in 2013 was primarily due to an increase in net income of our Venezuelan 
subsidiaries. 

The decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in 2012 was primarily due to lower net income from our Venezuelan 
subsidiaries. 

Outlook for 2014 
We expect net income attributable to noncontrolling interests on a GAAP basis in 2014 to be $26 million to $30 million as compared to $24 
million in 2013.  Our 2014 outlook reflects an expected increase in earnings from our Venezuelan subsidiaries due to the charge related to the 
remeasurement of net monetary assets as a result of the devaluation of Venezuela currency ($13.4 million) in 2013. 

We expect net income attributable to noncontrolling interests on a non-GAAP basis in 2014 to be $26 million to $30 million as compared to 
$29 million in 2013.  Our 2014 outlook reflects an expected decrease in earnings from our Venezuelan subsidiaries.  See page 39 for a 
summary of our 2014 Outlook.

(a)  Discontinued operations include gains and losses related to businesses that Brink’s recently sold or shut down.  These include ICD Limited and its 

affiliates, Threshold Financial Technologies Inc. in Canada, cash-in-transit operations in Germany, Hungary, Turkey, Poland, and Belgium, and guarding 
operations in France, Morocco, and Germany.  Interest expense included in discontinued operations was $0.4 million in 2013, and $0.7 million in 2012 and 
$0.9 million in 2011. 

(b)  The loss from operations in 2013 includes $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 severance payments to the business prior to the execution of the sale transaction. 

(c)  Primarily relates to former coal businesses and BAX Global, a former freight forwarding and logistics business. 

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) 

Our former CIT operation in Belgium filed for bankruptcy in November 2010, after a restructuring plan was rejected by local union employees, 
and was placed in bankruptcy on February 2, 2011.  We deconsolidated the Belgium subsidiary in 2010. In 2011, we recognized a $10.1 
million settlement loss related to a claim filed by the court-appointed provisional administrators of our former Belgium subsidiary. 

Guarding operations sold: 

  Morocco (December 2012) 
 
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 designed and installed security systems for 

commercial customers and had operations in China and other locations in Asia. 

The results of the above disposed operations have been excluded from continuing operations and are reported as discontinued operations for the 
current and prior periods.  The table below shows revenues by business segment which have been reclassified to discontinued operations:

Federal Black Lung Excise Tax (“FBLET”) refunds 
The Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008 enabled taxpayers to file claims for FBLET refunds for periods prior to those open under 
the statute of limitations previously applicable to us.  In 2009, we received $23.9 million of FBLET refunds and recognized the majority of 
these refunds as a pretax gain of $19.7 million in 2009.  The statute of limitations expired in 2011 and we recognized a pretax gain of $4.2 
million for the remaining portion of the refund.

Non-GAAP Results – Reconciled to Amounts Reported under GAAP  

Non-GAAP results described in this filing are financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP.   

Purpose of Non-GAAP Information 

The purpose of the non-GAAP information is to report our financial information  

excluding retirement expenses related to frozen retirement plans and retirement plans from former operations 

 
  without certain income and expense items, and 
 
after adjusting tax expense for certain items.   

The non-GAAP information provides information to assist comparability and estimates of future performance.   We believe these measures are 
helpful in assessing the performance of our ongoing operations, estimating future results and enabling period-to-period comparability of financial 
performance.  The valuation impact of our legacy liabilities and related cash outflows can be assessed on a basis that is separate and distinct from 
ongoing operations. Non-GAAP results should not be considered as an alternative to revenue, income or earnings per share amounts determined in 
accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with their GAAP counterparts.

(a)  To eliminate gains related to acquisitions of controlling interests in subsidiaries previously accounted for as equity method investments as well as gains on sales of 

property and assets of former operations. 

(b)  To reduce revenues and segment operating income to reflect the 2009 results of Venezuelan subsidiaries had they been translated using the parallel currency 

exchange rate in effect at the time.  The average parallel exchange rate used for the non-GAAP full-year earnings was 6.00 bolivars to the U.S. dollar, compared 
to an average rate of 2.21 bolivars to the U.S. dollar that was used for the GAAP financial statements.  The official rate of 2.15 bolivars to the U.S. dollar was 
used for translation of Venezuela for most of 2009 until the parallel rate was adopted during December 2009.  The use of the weaker rate to translate 2009’s non-
GAAP revenues and earnings of the Venezuelan subsidiaries decreased each measure by 63%. 

(c)  To eliminate currency losses incurred in Venezuela related to increases in cash held in U.S. dollars by Venezuelan subsidiaries.  These losses would not have been 

incurred had the operations been translated at the parallel rate. 
(d)  To eliminate royalty income from former home security business. 
(e)  To eliminate expenses related to U.S. retirement plans. 
(f)  The full-year 2009 non-GAAP tax expense excludes $118 million of income tax benefits related to the reduction in the amount of valuation allowance needed for 
U.S. deferred tax assets as a result of improved investments in retirement plans and improved credit markets as well as the tax effect of the other pretax non-
GAAP adjustments. The full-year non-GAAP effective income tax rate for 2009 was 32.2%.

Foreign Operations 

We currently serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 43 countries where we operate subsidiaries. 

We are subject to risks customarily associated with doing business in foreign countries, including labor and economic conditions, political 
instability, controls on repatriation of earnings and capital, nationalization, expropriation and other forms of restrictive action by local 
governments.  Changes in the political or economic environments in the countries in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on 
our business, financial condition and results of operations.  The future effects, if any, of these risks are unknown. 

Our international operations conduct a majority of their business in local currencies. Because our financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, 
they are affected by changes in the value of various local currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. Brink’s Venezuela is subject to local laws and 
regulatory interpretations that determine the exchange rate at which repatriating dividends may be converted and Brink’s Argentina may in the 
future be subject to similar restrictions.  See Application of Critical Accounting Policies—Foreign Currency Translation on page 65 for a 
description of our accounting methods and assumptions used to include our Venezuelan operation in our consolidated financial statements, and 
a description of the accounting for subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies.   

Changes in exchange rates may also affect transactions which are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.  From time to 
time, we use foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies, as discussed in Item 
7A on page 67.  At December 31, 2013, the notional value of our shorter term outstanding foreign currency contracts was $46.1 million with 
average contract maturities of approximately 1 month.  These shorter term foreign currency contracts primarily offset exposures in the Mexican 
peso and the euro. Additionally, these shorter term contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and accordingly, changes in 
their fair value are recorded immediately in earnings.  We recognized losses of $0.4 million on these foreign currency contracts in 2013.  At 
December 31, 2013, the fair value of these outstanding foreign currency contracts was not significant. 

We also have a longer term cross currency swap contract to hedge exposure in Brazilian real which is designated as a cash flow hedge for 
accounting purposes. At December 31, 2013, the notional value of this longer term contract was $21.2 million with a weighted average 
maturity of 2.5 years. We recognized net gains of $2.3 million on this contract, of which gains of $3.3 million were included in other operating 
income (expense) to offset transaction losses of $3.3 million and expenses of $1.0 million were included in interest and other income (expense) 
in 2013.  At December 31, 2013 the fair value of the longer term cross currency swap contract was $3.7 million, of which $4.7 million is 
included in other assets and $1.0 million is included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

Overview 

Over the last three years, we have used cash generated from our continuing operations to  

 

 
 

invest in the infrastructure of our business (new facilities, cash sorting and other equipment for our Cash Management Services 
operations, armored trucks,  CompuSafe® units, and customer-facing and back-office information technology) ($539 million),   
acquire businesses and noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries ($79 million), and 
pay dividends ($57 million). 

We entered into a new master lease agreement in late 2009 to finance the acquisition of new armored vehicles in the U.S.  Vehicles acquired 
under the 2009 lease agreement have been accounted for as capital leases.  Vehicles acquired under the previous master lease agreement were 
accounted for as operating leases.  

Outlook 

  We expect our capital expenditures in 2014 to approximate the amounts spent in 2013 as we continue to reduce maintenance 
capital spending through efficiency projects and reallocate more of our spending to growth and productivity initiatives.  

  We are required to contribute $26 million to our primary U.S. pension plan in 2014.  Based on current assumptions, we expect to 

make contributions to the plan totalling $110 million during 2014-2018.  

  We continue to consider acquisition opportunities in the secure transportation and Cash Management Services industry and in 

adjacent security markets.  We may use our cash from operations and borrowings to fund these acquisitions.

(a)  To eliminate the change in the balance of customer obligations related to cash received and processed in certain of our secure Cash Management Services 
operations.  The title to this cash transfers to us for a short period of time.  The cash is generally credited to customers’ accounts the following day and we 
do not consider it as available for general corporate purposes in the management of our liquidity and capital resources. 

(b)  To eliminate cash flows related to our discontinued operations. 

Non-GAAP cash flows from operating activities are supplemental financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with 
GAAP. The purpose of the non-GAAP cash flows from operating activities is to report financial information excluding the impact of cash 
received and processed in certain of our secure Cash Management Services operations, without cash flows from discontinued operations.   We 
believe these measures are helpful in assessing cash flows from operations, enable period-to-period comparability and are useful in predicting 
future operating cash flows. Non-GAAP cash flows from operating activities should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from 
operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated statements of cash flows. 

2013 versus 2012 
GAAP 
Operating cash flows decreased by $49.0 million in 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.  The decrease was primarily due to a $25.5 
million decrease in cash held for customers in certain of our secure Cash Management Services operations, $19.3 million in proceeds from the 
sale of value-added tax receivables in Venezuela in 2012, an increase in cash used to fund working capital needs, and lower income from 
continuing operations, partially offset by $11.6 million cash paid to our former CEO in 2012 and a $10.3 million increase in operating cash 
flow from discontinued operations.

Non-GAAP 
Cash flows from operating activities decreased from 2012 by $33.8 million.  This decrease was primarily due to $19.3 million in proceeds from 
the sale of value-added tax receivables in Venezuela in 2012, lower income from continuing operations and changes in working capital, 
partially offset by $11.6 million cash paid to our former CEO in 2012.  

2012 versus 2011  
GAAP 
Operating cash flows increased by $3.5 million in 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.  The increase was primarily due to a $27.4 
million increase in cash held for customers in certain of our secure Cash Management Services operations and $19.3 million in proceeds from 
the sale of value-added tax receivables in Venezuela.  These increases were offset by a $13.4 million cash contribution to our U.S. pension 
plan, the payment of $11.6 million in pension benefits to our former CEO, a customer loss that was paid in 2012 (with the related $10.5 million 
insurance recovery collected in 2013), and a $9.5 million increase in income tax payments. 

Non-GAAP 
Cash flows from operating activities decreased from 2011 by $22.4 million.  This decrease was primarily due to a $13.4 million cash 
contribution to our U.S. pension plan, the payment of $11.6 million in pension benefits to our former CEO, a customer loss that was paid in 
2012 (with the related $10.5 million insurance recovery collected in 2013), and a $9.5 million increase in income tax payments. These 
decreases were partially offset by $19.3 million in proceeds from the sale of value-added tax receivables in Venezuela.

Cash used by investing activities decreased by $44.3 million in 2013 versus 2012 primarily due to proceeds from the sale of discontinued 
operations, including  Threshold Financial Technologies Inc. ($43.8 million net proceeds), ICD Limited ($30.2 million net proceeds), less the 
amount paid to the buyer of our German CIT operations ($13.2 million net cash paid to purchaser).  Cash flows from investing activities were 
otherwise lower than 2012 due to a $6.6 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, $6.2 million in proceeds from 
the redemption of life insurance policies in 2012 and a $5.5 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities and other 
investments. 

Cash used by investing activities decreased by $4.5 million in 2012 versus 2011 primarily due to a $5.8 million decrease in capital expenditures 
and $6.2 million in proceeds from the redemption of life insurance policies.  These items were offset by a $14.2 million increase in cash used 
for business acquisitions as we acquired a logistics software provider in France in 2012.

(a)  Not provided. 
(b)  Represents the amount of property and equipment acquired using capital leases.  Because the assets are acquired without using cash, the acquisitions are 
not reflected in the consolidated cash flow statement.  Amounts are provided here to assist in the comparison of assets acquired in the current year versus 
prior years.  Sale leaseback transactions are excluded from “Capital leases” in this table. 

Since 2011, we have increased our spending on information technology to improve business process productivity, and we have reduced our 
maintenance capital expenditures for vehicles and facilities while continuing to focus on safety and security.  We continue to focus on 
maximizing asset utilization and maintenance of capital expenditures which has enabled us to reduce our annual spend to a level more in line 
with depreciation.  Our reinvestment ratio, which we define as the annual amount of capital expenditures divided by the annual amount of 
depreciation and amortization, was 1.1 in 2013, 1.3 in 2012, and 1.6 in 2011.   

Capital expenditures in 2013 were primarily for new cash processing and security equipment, armored vehicles and information technology.  
Capital expenditures in 2013 were relatively flat when compared to the same period in 2012, however total property and equipment acquired in 
2013 was $12.8 million lower than the prior year.  Total property and equipment acquired during 2014 is expected to be $200 million to $210 
million. 

Capital expenditures in 2012 were primarily for new cash processing and security equipment, armored vehicles and information technology.  
Capital expenditures in 2012 were slightly lower when compared to 2011, however total property and equipment acquired in 2012 was $30.7 
million lower than the prior year.

Debt borrowings and repayments 
In 2013, cash used by financing activities decreased by $62.0 million versus 2012 as we increased short-term debt and borrowed from our 
revolving credit facilities. The increase in net borrowings was partially offset by an increase in payments related to acquisitions ($21.9 million) 
in 2013.  In 2012 and 2011, we repaid a portion of our debt as cash flows from operating activities exceeded the net cash used by our investing 
activities.   

Common stock 
We contributed $9 million in newly issued common stock to our primary U.S. pension plan in 2012.  Because the contribution did not involve 
cash, the transaction is not included in our consolidated statements of cash flows. 

Dividends 
We paid dividends to Brink’s shareholders of $0.10 per share in each of the last 12 quarters.  Future dividends are dependent on our earnings, 
financial condition, shareholders’ equity levels, our cash flow and business requirements, as determined by the board of directors. 

Capitalization 

We use a combination of debt, leases and equity to capitalize our operations.   

Tight credit markets in late 2008 and early 2009 resulted in unreliable credit availability under our U.S. armored vehicle master lease 
agreement and volatile pricing.  As a result, from March 2009 to late 2009, we purchased vehicles with cash borrowed under our committed 
credit facilities instead of leasing.  In late 2009 as credit markets stabilized, we began to lease vehicles under a new master agreement.  
Vehicles acquired under the 2009 master lease agreement are accounted for as capital leases.  Vehicles acquired under the previous lease 
agreement are accounted for as operating leases based on terms of that agreement.  We expect to continue financing new vehicles in the U.S. 
using capital leases.  

As of December 31, 2013, debt as a percentage of capitalization (defined as total debt and equity) was 36% compared to 40% at December 31, 
2012.  The decrease resulted mainly from a higher equity balance compared to the end of 2013.  Equity increased primarily as a result of a 
decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss related to retirement benefit plans in 2013.

(a) 

 Title to cash received and processed in certain of our secure Cash Management Services operations 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 and in our computation of Net Debt. 

Net Debt is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP.  We use Net Debt as a 
measure of our financial leverage.  We believe that investors also may find Net Debt to be helpful in evaluating our financial leverage. Net 
Debt should not be considered as an alternative to Debt determined in accordance with GAAP and should be reviewed in conjunction with our 
consolidated balance sheets.  Set forth above is a reconciliation of Net Debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, to Debt, which is the most 
directly comparable financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP, as of December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012.  
Net Debt excluding cash and debt in Venezuelan operations was $306 million at December 31, 2013, and $280 million at December 31, 2012.  

Net Debt at the end of 2013 decreased by $20 million compared to Net Debt at the end of 2012 primarily due to positive operating cash flows 
exceeding cash used for capital expenditures, business acquisitions and for the payment of dividends.  A significant portion of the improvement 
in Net Debt related to cash generation in Venezuela (see Liquidity Needs below).  Net Debt without Venezuela increased $26 million because 
cash flows from operations excluding Venezuela did not exceed cash used for capital expenditures, business acquisitions and for the payment 
of dividends (each excluding Venezuela).

Liquidity Needs 
Our operating liquidity needs are typically financed by cash from operations, short-term debt and the Revolving Facility (our debt facilities are 
described below).  We have certain limitations and considerations related to the cash and borrowing capacity that are reported in our 
consolidated financial statements.  Based on our current cash on hand, amounts available under our credit facilities and current projections of 
cash flows from operations, we believe that we will be able to meet our liquidity needs for more than the next twelve months.   

Limitations on dividends from foreign subsidiaries.  A significant portion of our operations are outside the U.S. which may make it difficult to 
repatriate additional cash for use in the U.S.  See Item 1A., Risk Factors, for more information on the risks associated with having businesses 
outside the U.S.   

Incremental taxes.  Of the $256 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2013, approximately $226 million is held by subsidiaries 
that we consider to be permanently invested and for which we do not expect to repatriate to the U.S.  If we decided to repatriate this cash to the 
U.S., we may have to accrue and pay additional income taxes.  Given the number of foreign operations and the complexities of the tax law, it is 
not practical to estimate the potential tax liability, but the amount of taxes owed could be material depending on how and when the repatriation 
occurred. 

Venezuela.  The Venezuelan government has currency restrictions that limit our ability to obtain U.S. dollars to operate our local business and 
to repatriate cash.  The inability to repatriate cash from Venezuela limits our ability to use funds earned in Venezuela for general corporate 
purposes in the U.S. and elsewhere, including reducing our debt.  We believe that the currency exchange rate we use to measure our 
Venezuelan financial information is likely to be devalued in the future, which would reduce the amount of reported cash on our balance sheet.  
At December 31, 2013, our Venezuelan subsidiaries held $0.5 million of cash and short-term investments denominated in U.S. dollars and we 
held $93.8 million of cash and cash equivalents denominated in bolivars. 

Argentina.  The Argentinean government has, from time-to-time, imposed limits on the exchange of local pesos into U.S. dollars.  As a result, 
we have elected in the past and may elect in the future to repatriate cash from Argentina using alternative legal methods, which may result in 
less favorable exchange rates. We have $10.9 million in cash held in Argentinean pesos at December 31, 2013. 

Pension contributions.  We have a significantly underfunded U.S. pension plan that will be required to be funded in the future.  We currently 
expect to be able to fund pension contributions in the future with cash from operations and borrowings.  Estimated future contributions to our 
primary U.S. pension plan total $109.5 million based on current assumptions including $25.9 million to be paid in 2014. 

Debt  
We have a $480 million unsecured revolving bank credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) that matures in January 2017.  The Revolving 
Facility’s interest rate is based on LIBOR plus a margin, alternate base rate plus a margin, or competitive bid.  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, 
2013, $359 million was available under the Revolving Facility.  Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2013, 
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 0.9% to 1.575% depending on our credit rating, was 
1.40% at December 31, 2013.  The margin on alternate base rate borrowings under the Revolving Facility can range from 0.0% to 0.575%.  We 
also pay an annual facility fee on the Revolving Facility based on our credit rating.  The facility fee can range from 0.10% to 0.30 % and was 
0.225% at December 31, 2013. 

We have $100 million in unsecured notes through a private placement debt transaction (the “Notes”).  The Notes comprise $50 million in series 
A notes with a fixed interest rate of 4.57% and $50 million in series B notes with a fixed interest rate of 5.20%.  The Notes are due in January 
2021 with principal payments under the series A notes to begin in January 2015.   

We have three unsecured multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities with a total of $73 million in available credit, of which approximately 
$46 million was available at December 31, 2013.  A $20 million facility expires in May 2014, a $30 million facility expires in October 2014, 
and a $23 million facility expires in December 2015.  Interest on these facilities is based on LIBOR plus a margin.  The margin ranges from 
0.9% to 2.125%.  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 $24 million unsecured committed credit facility that expires in April 2014.  Interest on this facility is based on LIBOR plus a 
margin, which ranges from 1.20% to 1.575%.  As of December 31, 2013, $14 million was available under the facility. 

We have three unsecured letter of credit facilities totaling $179 million, of which approximately $70 million was available at December 31, 
2013.  A $54 million facility expires in December 2016, an $85 million facility expires in June 2015, and a $40 million facility expires in 

53 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
December 2015.  The Revolving Facility and the multi-currency revolving credit facilities are also used for issuance of letters of credit and 
bank guarantees. 

The Revolving Facility, the Notes, the unsecured multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities, the unsecured committed credit facility and 
the letter of credit facilities contain subsidiary guarantees and various financial and other covenants.  The financial covenants, among other 
things, limit our total indebtedness, limit priority debt, limit asset sales, limit the use of proceeds from asset sales and provide for minimum 
coverage of interest costs.  The credit agreements do not provide for the acceleration of payments should our credit rating be reduced.  If we 
were not to comply with the terms of our various credit agreements, the repayment terms could be accelerated and the commitments could be 
withdrawn.  An acceleration of the repayment terms under one agreement could trigger the acceleration of the repayment terms under the other 
loan agreements.  We were in compliance with all financial covenants at December 31, 2013.   

We have $43 million of bonds issued by the Peninsula Ports Authority of Virginia recorded as debt on our balance sheet.  Although we are not 
the primary obligor of the debt, we have guaranteed the debt and we believe that we will ultimately pay this obligation.  The guarantee 
originated as part of a former interest in Dominion Terminal Associates, a deep water coal terminal.  We continue to pay interest on the debt.    
The bonds bear a fixed interest rate of 6.0% and mature in 2033.  The bonds may mature prior to 2033 upon the occurrence of specified events 
such as the determination that the bonds are taxable or if we fail to abide by the terms of the guarantee. 

Equity 
Common Stock 
At December 31, 2013, we had 100 million shares of common stock authorized and 48.4 million shares issued and outstanding.      

On February 28, 2012, we filed a shelf registration statement under Form S-3ASR with the SEC for $150 million of our common stock.  Under 
this shelf registration, we are able to issue up to $150 million of new common stock.  On March 6, 2012, we issued 361,446 shares of our 
common stock and contributed the shares to our primary U.S. pension plan.  Sales of these shares by the pension plan are covered under our 
shelf registration statement.  The common stock was valued for purposes of the contribution at $24.90 per share, or $9 million in the aggregate, 
which reflected a 2.4% discount from the $25.51 per share closing share price of our common stock on March 5, 2012. 

Preferred Stock 
At December 31, 2013, we had the authority to issue up to 2.0 million shares of preferred stock, par value $10 per share. 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements 

We have operating leases that are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. We use operating leases to lower our cost of 
financings.  We believe that operating leases are an important component of our capital structure.

U.S. Pension Plans 
Pension benefits provided to eligible U.S. employees were frozen on December 31, 2005, and are not provided to employees hired after 2005 or 
to those covered by a collective bargaining agreement.  There are approximately 19,800 beneficiaries in the plans.  We made cash contributions 
totaling $13.0 million to the primary U.S. pension plan in 2013. 

Federal legislation titled Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (“MAP-21”) was passed in July 2012. MAP-21 effectively raises the 
discount rates used to determine our primary U.S. pension plan’s benefit liability for funding purposes and has the effect of spreading the 
expected funding requirements for the pension plan over a longer period of time.  

Based on current assumptions, including the provisions of this legislation, we expect to make contributions totaling $109.5 million from 2014 
to 2018. 

UMWA Plans  
Retirement benefits related to former coal operations include medical benefits provided by the Pittston Coal Group Companies Employee 
Benefit Plan for UMWA Represented Employees.  There are approximately 4,100 beneficiaries in the UMWA plans.  The company does not 
expect to make additional contributions to these plans until 2033 based on actuarial assumptions. 

Black Lung  
Under the Federal Black Lung Benefits Act of 1972, Brink’s is responsible for paying lifetime black lung benefits to miners and their 
dependents for claims filed and approved after June 30, 1973.  There are approximately 710 black lung beneficiaries. 

Other 
We have a plan that provides retirement healthcare benefits to certain eligible salaried employees.  Benefits under this plan are not indexed for 
inflation. 

Assumptions for U.S. Retirement Obligations 
We have made various assumptions to estimate the amount of payments to be made in the future.  The most significant assumptions include: 

Investment returns of plan assets 

  Changing discount rates and other assumptions in effect at measurement dates (normally December 31) 
 
  Addition of new participants (historically immaterial due to freezing of pension benefits and exit from coal business) 
  Mortality rates 
  Change in laws 

The Contractual Obligations table above represents payments projected to be paid with our corporate funds and does not represent payments 
projected to be made to beneficiaries with retirement plan assets.

(a)  Under GAAP, the funded status of a benefit plan is reduced by the fair market value of plan assets at the balance sheet date, and the present value of the 
projected earnings on plan assets does not reduce the funded status at the balance sheet date.  The non-GAAP measure presented above additionally 
reduces the funded status as computed under GAAP by the present value of projected earnings of plan assets using the expected return on asset 
assumptions of the respective plan.  

(b)  For the primary U.S. pension plan, we are required by ERISA regulations to maintain minimum funding levels, and as a result, we estimate we will be 
required to make minimum required contributions from 2014 to 2018.  We have estimated that we will achieve the required funded ratio after the 2018 
contribution.   

(c)  There are no minimum funding requirements for the UMWA plans because they are not covered by ERISA funding regulations.  Using assumptions at the 

end of 2013, we project that the plan assets plus expected earnings on those investments will cover the benefit payments for these plans until 2033.  We 
project that Brink’s will be required to contribute cash to the plan beginning in 2033 to pay beneficiaries.  

Discounted cash flows at plan discount rates are supplemental financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with 
GAAP.  The purpose of the discounted cash flows at plan discount rate is to present our retirement obligations after giving effect to the benefit 
of earning a return on plan assets.  We believe this measure is helpful in assessing the present value of future funding requirements of the 
company in order to meet plan benefit obligations.  Discounted cash flows at plan discount rates should not be considered as an alternative to 
the funded status of the U.S. retirement plans at December 31, 2013, as determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read in 
conjunction with our consolidated balance sheets.     

Contingent Matters  

On June 19, 2008, a lawsuit captioned Del Valle Gurria S.C. v. Servicio Pan Americano de Protección, S.A. de C.V. was filed with the Twenty-
third Civil Judge in the Federal District in Mexico (the “Court”) against Servicio Pan American de Proteccion, S.A. de C.V. (SERPAPROSA), 
the Mexico subsidiary that we acquired in November 2010. The plaintiff claims it is owed legal fees and corresponding value-added tax (VAT), 
interest and expenses related to its legal representation of SERPAPROSA in connection with tax audits conducted to the 1991, 1992 and 1994 
fiscal years.  On October 28, 2010, the Court issued a decision in favor of SERPAPROSA in part and the plaintiff in part, ordering 
SERPAPROSA to pay the plaintiff $0.4 million for its previous representation of SERPAPROSA.  Between November 2010 and October 
2013, the judgment was subject to multiple appeals by both parties to the Fifth Civil Court of Appeal of the Federal District in Mexico (the 
“Fifth Civil Court of Appeal”) and to the First Civil Collegiate Tribunal of the First Circuit in Mexico (the “First Civil Collegiate Tribunal”), 
and was remanded twice to the Court for determination of the fees to be paid to the plaintiff.  On December 6, 2013, the Fifth Civil Court of 
Appeal issued a decision in favor of the plaintiff, modifying the lower court’s ruling and ordering SERPAPROSA to pay the plaintiff $7.4 
million plus VAT and interest for its previous representation of SERPAPROSA.  SERPAPROSA filed a constitutional injunction on January 
20, 2014 with the First Civil Collegiate Tribunal.  The Company has accrued $3.1 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, 2013.  The 
ultimate resolution of this matter is unknown and the estimated liability may change in the future.  The Company denies the allegations asserted 
by the plaintiff and is vigorously defending itself in this matter. 

In addition, we are involved in various other lawsuits and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not able to estimate the loss or 
range of losses for some of these matters. We have recorded accruals for losses that are considered probable and reasonably estimable.  Except 
as otherwise noted, we do not believe that the ultimate disposition of any of the lawsuits currently pending against the Company should have a 
material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The application of accounting principles requires the use of assumptions, estimates and judgments.  We make assumptions, estimates and 
judgments based on, among other things, knowledge of operations, markets, historical trends and likely future changes, similarly situated 
businesses and, when appropriate, the opinions of advisors with relevant knowledge and experience.  Reported results could have been 
materially different had we used a different set of assumptions, estimates and judgments. 

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance  

Deferred tax assets result primarily from net operating losses and the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of 
assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes, as determined under enacted tax laws and rates.   

Accounting Policies 
We establish valuation allowances in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, when we estimate it is not more likely than not 
that a deferred tax asset will be realized.  We decide to record valuation allowances primarily based on an assessment of historical earnings and 
future taxable income that incorporates prudent, feasible tax-planning strategies.  We assess deferred tax assets on an individual jurisdiction 
basis.  Changes in tax statutes, the timing of deductibility of expenses or expectations for future performance could result in material 
adjustments to our valuation allowances, which would increase or decrease tax expense.  Our valuation allowances are as follows.

We have $303 million of net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013, of which $242 million related to U.S. jurisdictions.  The net deferred 
tax asset in the U.S. reduced from $363 million in 2012 primarily due to lower accruals for pension and retiree medical obligations as a result 
of actuarial gains and the realization of some of the benefits as a result of taxable gains on the sale of businesses and implementation of the 
employer group waiver plan (“EGWP”).  There were no significant changes to our U.S. valuation allowances in 2013.   

We used various estimates and assumptions to evaluate the need for the valuation allowance in the U.S.  These included  

 
 
 
 

projected revenues and operating income for our U.S. entities, 
projected royalties and management fees paid to U.S. entities from subsidiaries outside the U.S., 
estimated required contributions to our U.S. retirement plans, and  
interest rates on projected U.S. borrowings. 

For our projections of future U.S. taxable earnings, we assumed that our U.S. operation’s margins improve to 7% by 2017 with revenue 
growing between 0% and 2% per year.  Had we used different assumptions, we might have made different conclusions about the need for 
valuation allowances.  For example, using different assumptions in 2013 and 2012 we might have concluded that we require a valuation 
allowance offsetting our U.S. deferred tax assets at the end of either or both 2013 and 2012. 

Non-U.S. Deferred Tax Assets 

We changed our judgment about the need for valuation allowances for deferred tax assets in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions as a result of 
improvements in operating results and an improved outlook about the future operating performance in those jurisdictions.  As a result, we 
reversed $0.2 million of valuation allowances in 2013 and $0.9 million of valuation allowances in 2012 through continuing operations.

Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets and Property and Equipment Valuations 

Accounting Policies  

At December 31, 2013, we had property and equipment of $758.7 million, goodwill of $240.2 million and other intangible assets of $46.3 
million, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization.  We review these assets for possible impairment using the guidance in FASB ASC 
Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, for goodwill and other intangible assets and FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and 
Equipment, for property and equipment.  Our review for impairment requires the use of significant judgments about the future performance of 
our operating subsidiaries. Due to the many variables inherent in the estimates of the fair value of these assets, differences in assumptions could 
have a material effect on the impairment analyses.   

Application of Accounting Policies  

Goodwill 
We review goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that impairment may have 
occurred.  Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets 
and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit.  

Under U.S. GAAP, the annual impairment test may be either a quantitative test or a qualitative assessment.  The qualitative assessment can be 
performed in order to determine whether facts and circumstances support a determination that reporting unit fair values are greater than their 
carrying values.   

For 2013, we elected to bypass the optional qualitative assessment and we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test instead.  We 
estimated the fair value of each reporting unit using projections of cash flows and compared to its carrying value. We completed the annual 
goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2013, and concluded that the fair value of each reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying 
value.  

Finite-lived Intangible Assets and Property and Equipment 
We review finite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that 
the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which 
there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets.  To determine whether impairment has 
occurred, we compare estimates of the future undiscounted net cash flows of groups of assets to their carrying value.   

Estimates of Future Cash Flows 
We made significant assumptions when preparing financial projections of free cash flow used in our impairment analyses, including 
assumptions of future results of operations, capital requirements, income taxes, long-term growth rates for determining terminal value, and 
discount rates.  Our results may have been different if we had used different assumptions.

Retirement and Postemployment Benefit Obligations 

We provide benefits through defined benefit pension plans and retiree medical benefit plans and under statutory requirements. 

Accounting Policy 

We account for pension and other retirement benefit obligations under FASB ASC Topic 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits.  We 
account for postemployment benefit obligations, including workers’ compensation obligations, under FASB ASC Topic 712, Compensation – 
Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits. 

To account for these benefits, we make assumptions of expected return on assets, discount rates, inflation, demographic factors and changes in 
the laws and regulations covering the benefit obligations.  Because of the inherent volatility of these items and because the obligations are 
significant, changes in the assumptions could have a material effect on our liabilities and expenses related to these benefits. 

Our most significant retirement plans include our primary U.S. pension plan and the retiree medical plans of our former coal business that were 
collectively bargained with the United Mine Workers of America (the “UMWA”).  The critical accounting estimates that determine the 
carrying values of liabilities and the resulting annual expense are discussed below.   

Application of Accounting Policy  

Discount Rate Assumptions  
For plans accounted under FASB ASC Topic 715, we discount estimated future payments using discount rates based on market conditions at 
the end of the year.  In general, our liability changes in an inverse relationship to interest rates.  That is, the lower the discount rate, the higher 
the associated plan obligation.   

U.S. Plans 
For our largest retirement plans, including the primary U.S. pension and UMWA plans and Black Lung obligations, 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.      

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, we used Mercer’s Above-Mean Curve to determine the discount rates for the year-end benefit obligation.  At 
December 31, 2011, we used the Regular Mercer Yield Curve to determine the discount rates for the benefit obligation. 

To derive the Regular Mercer Yield Curve, Mercer uses a hypothetical portfolio of high-quality AA-rated corporate bonds.  To derive the 
Above-Mean Curve, Mercer uses only those bonds with a yield higher than the mean yield of the same portfolio of high quality bonds.  The 
Above-Mean Curve, made available by Mercer in 2012, represents a more focused market-based approach, which reflects the way an active 
investment manager would select high-quality bonds to match the cash flows of the plan.   

Non-U.S. Plans 
We use the same cash flow matching method to derive the discount rates of our major non-U.S. retirement plans.  Where the cash flow 
matching method is not possible, rates of local high-quality long term corporate bonds are used to estimate the discount rate. 

The discount rates for the primary U.S. pension plan, UMWA retiree medical plans and Black Lung obligations were:

Expected-Return-on-Assets Assumption  
Our expected-return-on-assets assumption, which affects our net periodic benefit cost, reflects the long-term average rate of return we expect 
the plan assets to earn.  We select the expected-return-on-assets assumption using advice from our investment advisor and actuary considering 
each plan’s asset allocation targets and expected overall investment manager performance and a review of the most recent long-term historical 
average compounded rates of return, as applicable.  We selected 8.00% as the expected-return-on-assets assumption for our primary U.S. plan 
and 8.25% for our UMWA retiree medical plans as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. 

Over the last twenty years, the annual returns of our primary U.S. pension plan have averaged, on a compounded basis, 8.2%, while the 25-year 
compounded annual return averaged 9.1%, and the 30-year compounded annual return averaged 9.7%.   

Sensitivity Analysis 
Effect of using different expected-rate-of-return assumptions.  Our 2013 and projected 2014 expense would have been different if we had used 
different expected-rate-of-return assumptions.  For every hypothetical change of one percentage point in the assumed long-term rate of return 
on plan assets (and holding other assumptions constant), our 2013 and 2014 expense would be as follows:

(a)  Actual future returns on investments will not affect our earnings until 2015 since the earnings in 2014 will be based on the "expected return on assets" 

assumption. 

Effect of using fair market value of assets to determine expense.   For our defined-benefit pension plans, we calculate expected investment 
returns by applying the expected long-term rate of return to the market-related value of plan assets.  In addition, our plan asset actuarial gains 
and losses that are subject to amortization are based on the market-related value.   

The market-related value of the plan assets is different from the actual or fair market value of the assets.  The actual or fair market value is, at a 
point in time, the value of the assets that is available to make payments to pensioners and to cover any transaction costs.  The market-related 
value recognizes changes in fair value from the expected value on a straight-line basis over five years.  This recognition method spreads the 
effects of year-over-year volatility in the financial markets over several years. 

Our expenses related to our primary U.S. pension plan would have been different if our accounting policy were to use the fair market value of 
plan assets instead of the market-related value to recognize investment gains and losses.

For our UMWA plans, we calculate expected investment returns by applying the expected long-term rate of return to the fair market value of 
the assets at the beginning of the year.  This method is likely to cause the expected return on assets, which is recorded in earnings, to fluctuate 
more than had we used the accounting methodology of our defined-benefit pension plans.

Medical Inflation Assumption  
We estimate the trend in healthcare cost inflation to predict future cash flows related to our retiree medical plans. Our assumption is based on 
recent plan experience and industry trends.  

For the UMWA plans, our largest postretirement plans, we have assumed a medical inflation rate of 7% for 2014, and we project this rate to 
decline to 5% in 2020 and hold at 5% thereafter.  Our medical inflation rate assumption (including the assumption that medical inflation rates 
will gradually decline over the next seven years and hold at 5%) is based on macroeconomic assumptions of gross domestic growth rates, the 
excess of national health expenditures over other goods and services, and population growth.  The average annual medical inflation rate of the 
company over the last eight years was 5.7 %.   

If we had assumed that medical inflation rates were one percentage point higher in each future year, the plan obligation for these plans at 
December 31, 2013, would have been approximately $43.6 million higher and the expense for 2013 would have been $2.0 million higher.  If 
we had assumed that the medical inflation rates were one percentage point lower, the plan obligation at December 31, 2013, would have been 
approximately $37.2 million lower and the related 2013 expenses would have been $1.7 million lower.   

If we had projected medical inflation rates to decline from 7% to 4.5% by 2028, instead of our projected decline to 5% by 2020, the plan 
obligation for the UMWA retiree medical benefit plan would have been $15.2 million higher for 2013 and our expense would be $1.9 million 
higher for 2014. 

Excise Tax on Administrators by Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act  
A 40% excise tax will be imposed on high-cost health plans (“Cadillac plans”) beginning in 2018.  The tax will apply to plan costs that exceed 
a certain threshold level for individuals and for families, which will be indexed to inflation.  There will be higher limits for high-risk 
professions, among which is mining.  Even though the tax is not assessed directly to an employer but rather to the benefits plan administrator, 
the cost is expected to be passed through to plan sponsors as higher premiums or higher claims administration fees, increasing the plan 
sponsor’s obligations.  We project that we will have to pay the benefits plan administrator this excise tax beginning in 2018, and our plan 
obligations at December 31, 2013, include $22.9 million related to this tax.  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.  

Workers’ Compensation 
Besides the effects of changes in medical costs, worker’s compensation costs are affected by the severity and types of injuries, changes in state 
and federal regulations and their application and the quality of programs which assist an employee’s return to work.  Our liability for future 
payments for workers’ compensation claims is evaluated annually with the assistance of an actuary. 

Numbers of Participants 
The valuations of all of these benefit plans are affected by the life expectancy of the participants. Accordingly, we rely on actuarial information 
to predict the number and life expectancy of participants.  We use the following mortality table for our major plans. 

  Plan 
  UMWA plans 
  Black Lung 
  Primary U.S. pension  

Mortality table 
RP-2000 Separate, Pre- and Post-Retirement, Healthy Blue Collar 
RP-2000 Combined Annuitant/Non-Annuitant Blue Collar 
RP-2000 Combined Healthy Blue Collar 

The number of participants by major plan in the past five years is as follows:

  Plan 
  UMWA plans 
  Black Lung 
  U.S. pension 

2013  

 4,100 
 710

2009  

 4,700  
 700  
 21,100  

Because we are no longer operating in the coal industry, we anticipate that the number of participants in the UMWA retirement medical plan 
will decline over time due to mortality.  Because the U.S. pension plan has been frozen, the number of its participants will also decline over 
time.

Foreign Currency Translation 

The majority of our subsidiaries outside the U.S. conduct business in their local currencies.  Our financials report results in U.S. dollars, which 
include the results of these subsidiaries.   

Accounting Policy 

Our accounting policy for foreign currency translation is different depending on whether the economy in which our foreign subsidiary operates 
has been designated as highly inflationary.  Economies with a three-year cumulative inflation rate of more than 100% are considered highly 
inflationary.  Subsequent reductions in cumulative inflation rates below 100% do not change the method of translation unless the reduction is 
deemed to be other than temporary.  Effective January 1, 2010, we began accounting for our Venezuelan subsidiaries as operating in a highly 
inflationary economy.   

Non-Highly Inflationary Economies 
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. 

Highly Inflationary Economies 
Foreign subsidiaries that operate in highly inflationary countries must use the reporting currency (the U.S. dollar) as the functional 
currency.  Local-currency monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into dollars 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. 

Application of Accounting Policy  

Venezuela  
Brink’s Venezuela accounted for $447 million or 11% of total Brink’s revenues and represented a significant component of total segment 
operating profit in 2013.  At December 31, 2013, we had investments in our Venezuelan operations of $125.3 million on an equity-method 
basis.  At December 31, 2013, we had bolivar denominated net monetary assets of $120.4 million, including $93.8 million of cash and cash 
equivalents denominated in bolivars.   

The economy in Venezuela has had significant inflation in the last several years.  We consolidate our Venezuelan results using our accounting 
policy for subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies.  

Since 2003, the Venezuelan government has controlled the exchange of local currency into other currencies, including the U.S. dollar.  The 
Venezuelan government requires that currency exchanges be made at official rates established by the government instead of allowing open 
markets to determine currency rates.  Different official rates exist for different industries and purposes.  The government does not approve all 
requests to convert bolivars to other currencies.   

The government devalued the official rate for essential services in February 2013 to 6.3 bolivars to the dollar.  In January 2014, the government 
expanded an alternate process to obtain dollars for travel and certain other purposes.  Rates obtained by the alternate process were reported to 
be 11.3 bolivars to U.S. dollars in December 2013.   

Since the February 2013 devaluation, we have been unable to obtain dollars using either process.  We do not expect to be able to obtain dollars 
using either process in the foreseeable future.  There are other legal, but irregular and highly illiquid, mechanisms for converting bolivars.  
Rates using these mechanisms increased substantially in 2013 and reportedly exceeded 80 bolivars to the U.S. dollar in February 2014.  

As a result of these restrictions, we have been unable to obtain sufficient U.S. dollars to purchase certain imported supplies and fixed assets to 
fully operate our business in Venezuela, and as a result, have occasionally purchased more expensive, locally denominated supplies and fixed 
assets.  The restrictions also prevent us from repatriating earnings and from being fully compensated for intercompany services. 

Through January 31, 2013, we used an official rate of 5.3 bolivars to the dollar to remeasure our bolivar denominated monetary assets and 
liabilities into U.S. dollars and to translate our revenue and expenses.  After the devaluation in February 2013, we began to use the 6.3 official 
exchange rate to remeasure bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities and to translate our revenue and expenses.  As a result of the 
devaluation, we recognized a $13.4 million net remeasurement loss in 2013.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

We currently serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 43 countries where we operate subsidiaries.  These operations expose us to 
a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates.  These 
financial and commodity exposures are monitored and managed by us as an integral part of its overall risk management program. 

We periodically use various derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, as discussed below, to hedge our interest rate, commodity 
prices and foreign currency exposures when appropriate.  The risk that counterparties to these instruments may be unable to perform is 
minimized by limiting the counterparties used to major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings.  We do not expect to incur a 
loss from the failure of any counterparty to perform under the agreements.  We do not use derivative financial instruments for purposes other 
than hedging underlying financial or commercial exposures. 

The sensitivity analyses discussed below for the market risk exposures were based on the facts and circumstances in effect at December 31, 
2013.  Actual results will be determined by a number of factors that are not under management’s control and could vary materially from those 
disclosed. 

Interest Rate Risk 

We use both fixed and floating rate debt and leases to finance our operations. Floating rate obligations, including our Revolving Facility, 
expose us to fluctuations in cash flows due to changes in the general level of interest rates.  Fixed rate obligations, including our Dominion 
Terminal Associates debt and our unsecured notes, are subject to fluctuations in fair values as a result of changes in interest rates. 

Based on the contractual interest rates on the floating rate debt at December 31, 2013, a hypothetical 10% increase in rates would increase cash 
outflows by approximately $0.7 million over a twelve-month period.  In other words, our weighted average interest rate on our floating rate 
instruments was 2.7% per annum at December 31, 2013.  If that average rate were to increase by 0.3 percentage points to 3.0%, the cash 
outflows associated with these instruments would increase by $0.7 million annually.  The effect on the fair values on our Dominion Terminal 
Associates (“DTA”) debt and on our unsecured notes for a hypothetical 10% decrease in the yield curve from year-end 2013 levels would result 
in a $3.1 million increase for our DTA debt and a $2.1 million increase for our unsecured notes in the fair values of the debt. 

66 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Foreign Currency Risk 

We have exposure to the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the results of all of our foreign operations.  Our foreign 
operations generally use local currencies to conduct business but their results are reported in U.S. dollars. 

We are also exposed periodically to the foreign currency rate fluctuations that affect transactions not denominated in the functional currency of 
domestic and foreign operations.  To mitigate these exposures, we, from time to time, enter into foreign currency forward and swap contracts.  
At December 31, 2013, the notional value of our shorter term outstanding foreign currency contracts was $46.1 million with average contract 
maturities of approximately one month.  These shorter term foreign currency contracts primarily offset exposures in the Mexican peso and the 
euro.  Additionally, these shorter term contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and accordingly, changes in their fair 
value are recorded immediately in earnings. We also have a longer term cross currency swap contract to hedge exposure in Brazilian real which 
is designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. At December 31, 2013, the notional value of that longer term contract was $21.2 
million with a weighted average maturity of  2.5 years. We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge investments in foreign 
subsidiaries since such investments are long-term in nature. 

The effects of a hypothetical simultaneous 10% appreciation in the U.S. dollar from the 2013 levels against all other currencies of countries in 
which we have continuing operations are as follows:

Hypothetical Effects 
Increase/ (decrease) 

The hypothetical foreign currency effects above detail the consolidated effect attributable to Brink’s of a simultaneous change in the value of a 
large number of foreign currencies relative to the U. S. dollar.  The foreign currency exposure effect related to a change in an individual 
currency could be significantly different. 

Venezuela 
Brink’s Venezuela accounted for 11% of total Brink’s revenues and represented a significant component of total segment operating profit.  
Currently, Venezuela operates in a highly inflationary economy and its currency is fixed to the U.S. dollar.

In February 2013, the Venezuelan government devalued the official exchange rate resulting in an official rate of 6.3 bolivars to the dollar.  
Beginning in February 2013, we began to use the official exchange rate to remeasure our bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities. 
As a result of the devaluation, we recognized a $13.4 million net remeasurement loss in 2013.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING  

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in 
Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable 
assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.  

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those 
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.  In making this assessment, 
management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in “Internal 
Control – Integrated Framework (1992).”  

Based on this assessment, our management believes that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting is effective 
based on the COSO criteria. 

KPMG LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm which audits our consolidated financial statements, has issued an attestation 
report of our internal control over financial reporting.  KPMG’s attestation report appears on page 70.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm  

The Board of Directors and Stockholders 
The Brink’s Company: 

We have audited The Brink’s Company’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria 
established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission (COSO).  The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its 
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on 
Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial 
reporting based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was 
maintained in all material respects.  Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the 
risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed 
risk.  Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit 
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of 
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles.  A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of 
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide 
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of 
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any 
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or 
that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

In our opinion, The Brink’s Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,

comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, and our report

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm  

The Board of Directors and Stockholders 
The Brink’s Company: 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Brink’s Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, 
and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year 
period ended December 31, 2013.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those 
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material 
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An 
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The 
Brink’s Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the 
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), The Brink’s 
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated 
Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated 
February 27, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

THE BRINK’S COMPANY 
and subsidiaries 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Note 1 – 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.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

Accounting Adjustments  
Accounting adjustments that correct earnings reported for previous years have been included in our 2011 earnings.   The adjustments decreased 
income from continuing operations in 2011 by $7.8 million, after tax.  Prior years’ financial results have not been restated because the amounts 
are not material.  The adjustments did not affect earnings trends for the consolidated financial statements including our operating segments. 
Cash flows were not affected by these accounting corrections. 

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.  Customer contracts 
generally are automatically extended after the initial contract period until either party terminates the agreement.  Taxes collected from 
customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenues in the consolidated statements of income. 

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 includes amounts held by certain of our secure cash management services operations for customers 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 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.

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, 2013, finite-lived intangible assets have remaining useful lives ranging from 1 
to 14 years and are amortized based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are used or on a straight-line basis.   

Impairment of 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. Our reporting units are 
Latin America; EMEA; North America and Asia Pacific. The goodwill impairment test is performed at October 1 of each year. For the annual 
test, we have the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether reporting unit fair values exceed their carrying amounts or 
bypassing the qualitative assessment and performing a quantitative analysis.  Indefinite-lived intangibles are also tested for impairment at least 
annually by comparing the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets to their estimated fair values.  We base our estimates of fair value 
on projected future cash flows.   

We completed goodwill impairment tests during each of the last three years with no impairment charges required.  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 FASB 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 corporate 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 obligation in both 2013 and 2012.  We used the 
Regular Mercer Yield Curve in 2011 to determine the discount rates for the benefit obligation.   

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.   

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  
Brink’s Venezuela accounted for $447 million or 11% of total Brink’s revenues and represented a significant component of total segment 
operating profit in 2013.  At December 31, 2013, we had investments in our Venezuelan operations of $125.3 million on an equity-method 
basis.  At December 31, 2013, we had bolivar denominated net monetary assets of $120.4 million, including $93.8 million of cash and cash 
equivalents denominated in bolivars. 

The economy in Venezuela has had significant inflation in the last several years.  We consolidate our Venezuelan results using our accounting 
policy for subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies.  

Since 2003, the Venezuelan government has controlled the exchange of local currency into other currencies, including the U.S. dollar.  The 
Venezuelan government requires that currency exchanges be made at official rates established by the government instead of allowing open 
markets to determine currency rates.  Different official rates exist for different industries and purposes.  The government does not approve all 
requests to convert bolivars to other currencies.   

The government devalued the official rate for essential services in February 2013 to 6.3 bolivars to the dollar.  In January 2014, the government 
expanded an alternate process to obtain dollars for travel and certain other purposes.  Rates obtained by the alternate process were reported to 
be 11.3 bolivars to U.S. dollars in December 2013.   

Since the February 2013 devaluation, we have been unable to obtain dollars using either process.  We do not expect to be able to obtain dollars 
using either process in the foreseeable future.  There are other legal, but irregular and highly illiquid, mechanisms for converting bolivars.   

As a result of these restrictions, we have been unable to obtain sufficient U.S. dollars to purchase certain imported supplies and fixed assets to 
fully operate our business in Venezuela, and as a result, have occasionally purchased more expensive, locally denominated supplies and fixed 
assets.  The restrictions also prevent us from repatriating earnings and from being fully compensated for intercompany services. 

Through January 31, 2013, we used an official rate of 5.3 bolivars to the dollar to remeasure our bolivar denominated monetary assets and 
liabilities into U.S. dollars and to translate our revenue and expenses.  After the devaluation in February 2013, we began to use the 6.3 official 
exchange rate to remeasure bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities and to translate our revenue and expenses.  As a result of the 
devaluation, we recognized a $13.4 million net remeasurement loss in 2013.  

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.

Note 2 – 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 
based on operating profit or loss for the geographic components of Brink’s, excluding non-segment expenses.   

We have four geographic operating segments: Latin America; Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); North America and Asia Pacific.  
For the year ended December 31, 2012, we had two reportable segments: North America and International (aggregating Latin America, EMEA 
and Asia Pacific into International).  Effective December 31, 2013, we changed our reportable segments to Latin America; EMEA; North 
America and Asia Pacific.  We changed our reportable segments as we decided we no longer meet all the aggregation criteria set forth in ASC 
280, Segment Reporting primarily due to continued economic divergence and political changes in certain Latin American countries.  

We currently serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 43 countries where we operate subsidiaries. 

The primary services of the reportable segments include:  

  Cash-in-Transit (“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) 

o 
o

Note 3 – 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.

Approximately $30.9 million of experience loss and $0.8 million of prior service cost are expected to be amortized from accumulated other 
comprehensive income (loss) into net periodic pension cost during 2014. 

The net experience gains in 2013 (the majority attributed to the U.S. plans) were primarily due to the higher discount rates at the end of the year 
and the actual return on assets being higher than expected.  The net experience losses in 2012 were primarily due to the lower discount rate of 
the U.S. plans, partially offset by 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, 2013 and 2012 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.

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. 

The RP-2000 Combined Healthy Blue Collar mortality table and the RP-2000 Combined Healthy White Collar mortality table were used to 
estimate the expected lives of participants in the U.S. pension plans.   Expected lives of participants in non-U.S. pension plans were estimated 
using mortality tables in the country of operation. 

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.  In 2014, we expect to contribute 
$27.3 million to our non-U.S. pension plans, $25.9 million to our primary U.S. pension plan, and $0.8 million to our nonqualified U.S. pension 
plan. 

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, 2013, are as follows:

We estimate that $15.2 million of experience loss and $2.9 million of prior service credit will be amortized from accumulated other 
comprehensive income (loss) into net periodic postretirement cost during 2014. 

We recognized a prior service credit in 2013 associated with UMWA obligations due to a plan amendment that changed the plan from a self-
insured welfare benefit plan to an employer group waiver plan (“EGWP”), which reduced future expected net per capita claims costs.  We 
recognized net experience gains in 2013 associated with the UMWA obligations primarily related to the higher discount rate, a return on assets 
being higher than expected and a decrease in the expected obligation related to the excise tax on high-cost health plans.  The gain related to the 
excise tax on high-cost health plans reflects the benefit of lower per capita claims costs from the change to EGWP. 

We recognized net experience gains in 2012 associated with the UMWA obligations primarily related to the return on assets being higher than 
expected, partially offset by the lower discount rate and an increase in the expected obligation related to the excise tax on high-cost health 
plans. 

Assumptions  
The APBO for each of the plans was determined using the unit credit method and an assumed discount rate as follows: 

  Weighted-average discount rate: 
     Postretirement cost: 
   UMWA plans 
   Black lung  
   Weighted-average 

     Benefit obligation at year end:

The RP-2000 Separate, Pre- and Post-retirement Rates, Healthy Blue Collar and Combined Annuitant/Non-Annuitant Blue Collar mortality 
tables are primarily used to estimate expected lives of participants. 

Healthcare Cost Trend Rates 
For UMWA plans, the assumed healthcare cost trend rate used to compute the 2013 APBO is 7.0% for 2014, declining to 5.0% in 2020 and 
thereafter (in 2012: 7.0% for 2013 declining to 5.0% in 2019 and thereafter).  For the black lung obligation, the assumed healthcare cost trend 
rate used to compute the 2013 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 2013 APBO is 7.0% for 2014, declining to 5.0% in 2020.  
For the Brazilian plan, the assumed healthcare cost trend rate used to compute the 2013 APBO is 3.0%.

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.   

The estimated effect of the Medicare Act was recorded as a reduction to the APBO for the year ended December 31, 2012, as permitted by FSP 
106-2, Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, 
included in FASB ASC Topic 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits.  The estimated value of the projected federal subsidy assumed no 
changes in participation rates and assumed that the subsidy was received in the year after claims were paid.   

For the year ended December 31, 2013, we changed the way we provide healthcare benefits to our UMWA retirees which 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 will receive the Medicare Act subsidy reimbursement on our 
behalf and pass these savings to us.  Additionally, by moving to an EGWP, we will 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 are directly reflected in the UMWA APBO for the year ended December 31, 2013.    

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 2018.  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 2018, and our plan 
obligations at December 31, 2013, include $22.9 million related to this tax ($31.0 million at December 31, 2012).   

Cash Flows 
Estimated Contributions from the Company to Plan Assets 
Based on the funded status and assumptions at December 31, 2013, we expect the Company to contribute $5.0 million in cash to the plans to 
pay 2014 beneficiary payments for black lung and other plans.  We do not expect to contribute cash to our UMWA plans since we believe these 
plans have sufficient amounts held in trust to pay for beneficiary payments for 2014.  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, 2013, are as follows:

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.  
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. 
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. 
This category represents actively managed mutual funds that seeks to duplicate the risk and return characteristics of a long-term fixed-income securities 
portfolio with an approximate duration of 10 years and longer by using a long duration bond portfolio, including interest-rate swap agreements and 
Treasury futures contracts, and zero-coupon securities created by the U.S. Treasury, for the purpose of managing the overall duration of this fund. 
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. 
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. 
This category represents an actively managed mutual fund that invests in different hedge-fund investments, with various strategies.  The fund holds 
approximately 40 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. 
This category represents an actively managed mutual fund 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. 
This category represents an actively managed mutual fund that invests primarily in a diversified portfolio comprised primarily of collateralized loan 
obligations and other structured credit investments backed primarily by bank loans. 
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.

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.  

Most of our investments of our U.S. retirement plans can be redeemed daily.  The hedge-fund-of-funds, core-property and structured-credit 
investments can be redeemed quarterly with 65 days’ notice.  The hedge-fund-of-funds investment had a two-year lockup provision that has 
expired and we transferred this investment from Level 3 to Level 2 in 2013.  The structured-credit investment was acquired in 2013 and is 
subject to a two-year lockup provision which will expire in November 2015.  We categorized this investment as Level 3.  Beginning in 2013, a 
portion of the long-duration securities in our U.S. pension plan no longer have an active trading market in order to obtain quoted prices.  As 
such, we transferred these investments from Level 1 to Level 2 in 2013.   

Non-U.S. Plans 
Fair values of investments totaling $167.9 million at December 31, 2013, and $140.1 million at December 31, 2012, of our non-U.S. pension 
plans have been estimated using quoted prices in active markets and are categorized as Level 1 valuation inputs.  Fair values for investments of 
our non-U.S. pension plans totaling $154.1 million at December 31, 2013, and $142.9 million at December 31, 2012, have been estimated 
using the net asset value per share of the investments and are categorized as Level 2 valuation inputs.

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. 

The UK pension plan investment that was previously classified as Level 3 had a lockup provision that has expired and has therefore been 
transferred to Level 2 in 2013.     

Changes in plan assets measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for our retirement plans are as follows:

Multi-employer Pension Plans 
We contribute to multi-employer pension plans in a few of our non-U.S. subsidiaries.  We recognized $0.2 million of multi-employer pension 
expense for continuing operations in 2013 and $0.3 million in 2012.  We did not recognize any multi-employer pension expense in 2011.  

Savings Plans 
We sponsor various defined contribution plans to help eligible employees provide for retirement.  We record expense for amounts that we 
contribute on behalf of employees, usually in the form of matching contributions. Prior to December 31, 2011, we matched 125% of up to the 
first 5% of our employees’ eligible contributions to our U.S. 401(k) plan.  In January 2012, we reduced the matching contribution to 100% of 
up to the first 4% of employee contributions.  In April 2012, we further reduced the matching contribution to 100% on the first 1% of employee 
contributions.  Our matching contribution expense is as follows:

Valuation Allowances 
Valuation allowances relate to deferred tax assets in various federal, state and non-U.S. jurisdictions.  Based on our 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, 2013.

 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, 2013, we have not recorded U.S. federal deferred income taxes on approximately $259 million of undistributed earnings of 
foreign subsidiaries and equity affiliates.  It is expected that these earnings will be permanently reinvested in operations outside the U.S.  It is 
not practical to compute the estimated deferred tax liability on these earnings.  

Net Operating Losses 
The gross amount of the net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2013, was $214.5 million.  The tax benefit of net operating loss 
carryforwards, before valuation allowances, as of December 31, 2013, was $26.8 million, and expires as follows:

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2013, are potential benefits of approximately $9.7 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. Interest and penalties 
included in provision (benefit) for income taxes amounted to ($1.1) million in 2013, ($2.1) million in 2012, and $1.2 million in 2011. We had 
accrued penalties and interest of $2.1 million at December 31, 2013, and $3.7 million at December 31, 2012. 

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With a few exceptions, as of December 31, 2013, 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 2010. 
Additionally, due to statute of limitations expirations and audit settlements, it is reasonably possible that approximately $1.7 million of 
currently remaining unrecognized tax positions may be recognized by the end of 2014.

Note 6 – Acquisitions 

We account for acquisitions as business combinations using the acquisition method.  Under the acquisition method of accounting, assets 
acquired and liabilities assumed from these operations are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition.  The consolidated statements of 
income include the results of operations for each acquired entity from the date of acquisition.   

We acquired 100% of the capital stock of Brazil-based Rede Transacoes Eletronicas Ltda. (Rede Trel) on January 31, 2013.  The purchase 
price was $27.7 million. On the acquisition date, Rede Trel had $10 million of cash and cash equivalents that it uses as working capital, 
resulting in a net cash outflow in our consolidated statement of cash flows of $16 million related to the acquisition.  Rede Trel distributes 
electronic prepaid products, including mobile phone airtime, via a network of approximately 20,000 retail locations across Brazil.  Rede Trel’s 
strong distribution network supplements Brink’s existing payments business, ePago, which has operations in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and 
Panama.   

We estimated fair values for the assets purchased and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition. This valuation required management 
to make significant estimates and assumptions. We have completed the valuation work required to allocate the purchase price and our final 
estimates of the acquisition-date fair values of Rede Trel assets and liabilities are shown in the following table.

Intangible assets are primarily comprised of agent relationships and contractual agreements with the major Brazilian telecommunications companies.   As 
of the acquisition date, the weighted-average amortization period for these intangible assets was 10.9 years. 

(b)  Consists of intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, combined with synergies expected from integrating Rede Trel's distribution 

network into our existing ePago business.  All of the goodwill has been assigned to the Latin America reporting unit and is expected to be deductible for tax 
purposes.

Note 10 – 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:

The fair value estimate of our obligation related to the fixed-rate Dominion Terminal Associates (“DTA”) bonds is based on price information 
observed in a less-active market, which we have categorized as a Level 2 valuation.   

The fair value estimate of our unsecured private-placement notes is based on the present value of future cash flows, discounted at rates for 
similar instruments at the respective measurement dates, which we have categorized as a Level 3 valuation.  

There were no transfers in or out of any of the levels of the valuation hierarchy in 2013. 

Other Financial Instruments 
Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term fixed rate deposits, 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 additionally entered into a cross-currency swap to 
hedge against the change in value of a long-term intercompany loan denominated in a currency other than the lending subsidiary’s functional 
currency.  The fair values of these currency contracts, including the cross-currency swap, are determined using Level 2 valuation techniques 
and are based on the present value of net future cash payments and receipts.  Accordingly, the fair values will fluctuate based on changes in 
market interest rates and the respective foreign currency to U.S. dollar exchange rate.  The fair values of our outstanding short-term foreign 
currency contracts at December 31, 2013, were not significant.  At December 31, 2013, the fair value of the cross-currency swap was a net 
asset of $3.7 million.  There were no transfers in or out of any of the levels of the valuation hierarchy in 2013.

We have a $480 million unsecured revolving bank credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) that matures in January 2017.  The Revolving 
Facility’s interest rate is based on LIBOR plus a margin, alternate base rate plus a margin, or competitive bid.  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, 
2013, $359 million was available under the Revolving Facility.  Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2013, 
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 0.9% to 1.575% depending on our credit rating, was 
1.40% at December 31, 2013.  The margin on alternate base rate borrowings under the Revolving Facility can range from 0.0% to 0.575%.  We 
also pay an annual facility fee on the Revolving Facility based on our credit rating.  The facility fee can range from 0.10% to 0.30 % and was 
0.225% at December 31, 2013. 

We have $100 million in unsecured notes through a private placement debt transaction (the “Notes”).  The Notes comprise $50 million in series 
A notes with a fixed interest rate of 4.57% and $50 million in series B notes with a fixed interest rate of 5.20%.  The Notes are due in January 
2021 with principal payments under the series A notes to begin in January 2015.   

We have three unsecured multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities with a total of $73 million in available credit, of which approximately 
$46 million was available at December 31, 2013.  A $20 million facility expires in May 2014, a $30 million facility expires in October 2014, 
and a $23 million facility expires in December 2015.  Interest on these facilities is based on LIBOR plus a margin.  The margin ranges from 
0.9% to 2.125%.  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 $24 million unsecured committed credit facility that expires in April 2014.  Interest on this facility is based on LIBOR plus a 
margin, which ranges from 1.20% to 1.575%.  As of December 31, 2013, $14 million was available under the facility. 

We have three unsecured letter of credit facilities totaling $179 million, of which approximately $70 million was available at December 31, 
2013.  A $54 million facility expires in December 2016, an $85 million facility expires in June 2015, and a $40 million facility expires in 
December 2015.  The Revolving Facility and the multi-currency revolving credit facilities are also used for issuance of letters of credit and 
bank guarantees.

The Revolving Facility, the Notes, the unsecured multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities, the unsecured committed credit facility and 
the letter of credit facilities contain subsidiary guarantees and various financial and other covenants.  The financial covenants, among other 
things, limit our total indebtedness, limit priority debt, limit asset sales, limit the use of proceeds from asset sales and provide for minimum 
coverage of interest costs.  The credit agreements do not provide for the acceleration of payments should our credit rating be reduced.  If we 
were not to comply with the terms of our various credit agreements, the repayment terms could be accelerated and the commitments could be 
withdrawn.  An acceleration of the repayment terms under one agreement could trigger the acceleration of the repayment terms under the other 
loan agreements.  We were in compliance with all financial covenants at December 31, 2013.   

We have $43 million of bonds issued by the Peninsula Ports Authority of Virginia recorded as debt on our balance sheet.  Although we are not 
the primary obligor of the debt, we have guaranteed the debt and we believe that we will ultimately pay this obligation.  The guarantee 
originated as part of a former interest in Dominion Terminal Associates, a deep water coal terminal.  We continue to pay interest on the debt.    
The bonds bear a fixed interest rate of 6.0% and mature in 2033.  The bonds may mature prior to 2033 upon the occurrence of specified events 
such as the determination that the bonds are taxable or if we fail to abide by the terms of the guarantee. 

At December 31, 2013, we had undrawn letters of credit and guarantees totaling $137.0 million, including $109.0 million issued under the 
letter of credit facilities, $21.0 million issued under the multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities, and $7.1 million issued under other 
credit facilities.  These letters of credit primarily support our obligations under various self-insurance programs and credit facilities.

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, 2013, future minimum lease payments under noncancellable operating leases with initial or remaining lease terms in 
excess of one year are included below.

In North America, most of the armored vehicles used by our U.S. operations are accounted for as operating leases.  The cost related to these 
leases is recognized as rental expense in the consolidated statements of income.  Since March 2009, we have acquired armored vehicles in the 
U.S. either by purchasing or by leasing under agreements that we have accounted for as capital leases.  The cost of vehicles under capital lease 
is recognized as depreciation and interest expense.   

Net rent expense included in continuing operations amounted to $106.8 million in 2013, $97.1 million in 2012 and $101.2 million in 2011.

Note 16 – 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. 

Non-Vested Shares and Stock Options 
The 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) and the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) permit grants of restricted stock, 
restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units, stock appreciation rights, stock options, as well as other share-based awards to 
eligible employees.  The 2013 Plan also permits cash awards to eligible employees.  The 2005 Plan was replaced by the 2013 Equity Incentive 
Plan effective in February 2013.  No further grants of awards will be made under the 2005 Plan.  

Directors are eligible for share-based awards through the Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”).  To date, we have 
granted only deferred stock units under the Directors’ Plan.  There are also outstanding stock options granted to directors under a prior plan, the 
Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Prior Directors’ Plan”).   

There are 3.5 million shares underlying share-based plans that are authorized, but not yet granted.  Outstanding awards at December 31, 2013 
include performance share units (“PSUs”), market share units (“MSUs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), deferred stock units (“DSUs”) and 
stock options.   

General Terms 
PSUs granted in 2013 reward the achievement of pre-established financial goals over the performance period (April 1, 2013, through December 
31, 2015) and will be paid out in shares of Brink’s common stock.   Threshold, target and maximum levels of the financial goal performance 
were established, which correspond to payouts between 0% and 200% of target.  In addition, the number of shares issued are subject to a +/- 
25% multiplier that will be applied to the payout based on Brink’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to companies in the S&P 500 index.  
TSR at or above the 75th percentile will result in the application of a +25% multiplier to PSU payouts while TSR at or below the 25th percentile 
will result in the application of a -25% multiplier to PSU payouts. There is no multiplier applied to PSU payouts if TSR performance is 
between the 25th and 75th percentile. 

MSUs granted in 2013 will be paid out in shares of Brink’s common stock at the end of the performance period (April 1, 2013, through 
December 31, 2015) at a rate of 0 to 150% of a target number of shares awarded.  The multiplier 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 common stock at the end of the performance period is less than 50% of the initial price, no payout for MSUs will occur.   

RSUs granted will be paid out in shares of Brink’s common stock when they vest, generally ratably in three equal annual installments.  

Stock options (none granted in 2013) were granted at a price not less than the average quoted market price on the date of grant.  Options 
granted to employees have a maximum term of six years and options granted to directors have a maximum term of ten years.   

Expense recognition 
Compensation expense related to share-based awards granted to employees is recognized from the grant date to the earlier of the retirement 
eligible date or the stated vesting date.  Compensation expense related to deferred stock units granted to directors is recognized in its entirety at 
the grant date.  Compensation expense is classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income.  

Method and Assumptions Used to Estimate Fair Value  
The fair value of RSUs and DSUs was measured at the date of grant based on the price of Brink’s common stock, adjusted for a discount on 
units that do not receive or accrue dividends.

(a)  The beginning average price of Brink’s common stock was based on the 20-day trading average price from March 4, 2013 to April 1, 2013. 
(b)  The expected dividend yield for the TSR provision of the PSU awards assumes that dividends are reinvested.  The stock price projection assumes a 0% 

dividend yield, which is equivalent to reinvesting dividends over the performance period. 

(c)  The expected yield is 0% because neither the PSUs nor the MSUs are entitled to dividends during the performance period. 
(d)  The expected volatility was estimated after reviewing the historical volatility of our stock using daily close prices. 
(e)  The expected term of the awards was based on the performance measurement period ending December 31, 2015. 
(f)  For PSUs, the grant date fair value is based on the target level of the award.  Total compensation cost of the PSUs recognized is subject to adjustment based 

on the actual level of achievement of the underlying financial goal. 

The fair value of stock options was estimated at the time of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  For those awards subject to a 
ratable vesting schedule, fair value was measured for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award were comprised of three 
separate individual awards.  The fair value of options granted during 2012 and 2011 was calculated using the following estimated weighted-
average assumptions:

The intrinsic value of a stock option is the difference between the market price of the shares underlying the option and the exercise price of the 
option.  The market price at December 31, 2013, was $34.14 per share.  The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $2.0 million ($6.74 
per share) in 2013, $0.6 million ($8.07 per share) in 2012, and $5.6 million ($9.99 per share) in 2011.  The total grant-date fair value of options 
that vested during 2013 was $1.8 million, during 2012 was $1.8 million and during 2011 was $3.2 million. 

There were 1.2 million shares of exercisable options with a weighted-average exercise price of $30.92 per share at December 31, 2013.  There 
were 2.0 million shares of exercisable options with a weighted-average exercise price of $32.15 per share at December 31, 2012, and 2.4 
million shares of exercisable options with a weighted-average exercise price of $32.03 per share at December 31, 2011.   

Other Share-Based Compensation 
We have a deferred compensation plan that allows participants to defer a portion of their compensation into common stock units.  Units may be 
redeemed by employees for an equal number of shares of Brink’s common stock.  Employee accounts held 222,227 units at December 31, 
2013, and 421,846 units at December 31, 2012.   

We have a stock accumulation plan for our non-employee directors denominated in Brink’s common stock units.  Directors’ accounts held 
72,541 units at December 31, 2013, and 64,670 units at December 31, 2012. 

Note 17 – Capital Stock 

Common Stock 
At December 31, 2013, we had 100 million shares of common stock authorized and 48.4 million shares issued and outstanding.       

Shares Contributed to U.S. Pension Plan 
On March 6, 2012, we issued  361,446 shares of our common stock and contributed the shares to our primary U.S. pension plan.  Sales of these 
shares by the plan are covered under our shelf registration statement.  The common stock was valued for purposes of the contribution at $24.90 
per share, or $9 million in the aggregate, which reflected a 2.4% discount from the $25.51 per share closing share price of our common stock 
on March 5, 2012. 

Dividends 
We paid regular quarterly dividends on our common stock during the last three years.  On January 16, 2014, the board declared a regular 
quarterly dividend of 10 cents per share payable on March 3, 2014.  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. 

Shelf Registration of Common Stock 
On February 28, 2012, we filed a shelf registration statement under Form S-3ASR with the SEC for $150 million of our common stock.  At 
December 31, 2013, $141.5 million remains available under this shelf registration.   

Preferred Stock 
At December 31, 2013, we had the authority to issue up to 2.0 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $10 per share.

(a)   We have deferred compensation plans for directors and certain of our employees.  Amounts owed to participants are denominated in common stock 

units.  Each unit represents one share of common stock.  The number of shares used to calculate basic earnings per share includes the weighted-average units 
credited to employees and directors under the deferred compensation plans.  Additionally, non-participating restricted stock units are also included in the 
computation of basic weighted average shares when the requisite service period has been completed.  Accordingly, basic and diluted shares include 
weighted-average units of 0.6 million in 2013, 0.9 million in 2012 and 1.1 million in 2011.

Federal Black Lung Excise Tax (“FBLET”) refunds 
The Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008 enabled taxpayers to file claims for FBLET refunds for periods prior to those open under 
the statute of limitations previously applicable to us.  In 2009, we received $23.9 million of FBLET refunds and recognized the majority of 
these refunds as a pretax gain of $19.7 million in 2009.  The statute of limitations expired in 2011 and we recognized a pretax gain of $4.2 
million for the remaining portion of the refund.

Note 22 – 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 conducted to the 1991, 1992 
and 1994 fiscal years.  On October 28, 2010, the Court issued a decision in favor of SERPAPROSA in part and the plaintiff in part, ordering 
SERPAPROSA to pay the plaintiff $0.4 million for its previous representation of SERPAPROSA.  Between November 2010 and October 
2013, the judgment was subject to multiple appeals by both parties to the Fifth Civil Court of Appeal of the Federal District in Mexico (the 
“Fifth Civil Court of Appeal”) and to the First Civil Collegiate Tribunal of the First Circuit in Mexico (the “First Civil Collegiate Tribunal”), 
and was remanded twice to the Court for determination of the fees to be paid to the plaintiff.  On December 6, 2013, the Fifth Civil Court of 
Appeal issued a decision in favor of the plaintiff, modifying the lower court’s ruling and ordering SERPAPROSA to pay the plaintiff $7.4 
million plus VAT and interest for its previous representation of SERPAPROSA.  SERPAPROSA filed a constitutional injunction on January 
20, 2014 with the First Civil Collegiate Tribunal.  The Company has accrued $3.1 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, 2013.  The 
ultimate resolution of this matter is unknown and the estimated liability may change in the future.  The Company denies the allegations asserted 
by the plaintiff and is vigorously defending itself in this matter. 

In addition, we are involved in various other lawsuits and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not able to estimate the loss or 
range of losses for some of these matters. We have recorded accruals for losses that are considered probable and reasonably estimable.  Except 
as otherwise noted, we do not believe that the ultimate disposition of any of the lawsuits currently pending against the Company should have a 
material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations. 

At December 31, 2013, we had noncancellable commitments for $20.7 million in equipment purchases, and information technology and other 
services.

Earnings per share.  Earnings per share amounts for each quarter are required to be computed independently.  As a result, their sum may not 
equal the annual earnings per share. 

Discontinued operations. In 2013, we completed the divestitures of cash-in-transit operations in Poland, Turkey, Hungary, and Germany as 
well as guarding operations in France and an aviation security services business in Germany.  We also sold ICD Limited and its affiliates and 
Threshold Financial Technology Inc. in Canada in 2013.  In 2012, we completed the divestiture of our guarding operations in Morocco. 

The results of these operations have been excluded from continuing operations and are reported as discontinued operations for all periods.  

Significant items in a quarter.   

In the first quarter of 2013, we recognized $13.4 million in foreign currency exchange losses related to a February 2013 devaluation of the 
official exchange rate in Venezuela.  In the same quarter, we also recognized an $18.7 million loss related to a theft in Belgium. 

In the second quarter of 2012, we recognized a $20.9 million tax benefit related to a change in retiree healthcare funding strategy.  In the third 
quarter of 2012, we recognized a $7.2 million pretax gain on the sale of real estate in Venezuela.
