THE BRINK’S COMPANY
and subsidiaries
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of presentation

The Brink’s Company (along with its subsidiaries, “Brink’s” or “we”) has two reportable segments:

·             International
·             North America

Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.  These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

We have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.  The most significant estimates are related to goodwill and other long-lived assets, pension and other retirement benefit obligations, legal contingencies, foreign currency translation and deferred tax assets.

The consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of Brink’s and all entities in which Brink’s has a controlling voting interest.  Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.

Foreign Currency Translation
Our consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars.  Our foreign subsidiaries maintain their records primarily in the currency of the country in which they operate.

The method of translating local currency financial information into U.S. dollars depends on whether the economy in which our foreign subsidiary operates has been designated as highly inflationary or not.  Economies with a three-year cumulative inflation rate of more than 100% are considered highly inflationary.

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries in non-highly inflationary economies are translated into U.S. dollars using rates of exchange at the balance sheet date.  Translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income.  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 $306.3 million or 10% of total Brink’s revenues and represented a significant component of total segment operating profit in the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  At September 30, 2013, we had investments in our Venezuelan operations of $110.0 million on an equity-method basis.  At September 30, 2013, we had bolivar fuerte-denominated net monetary assets of $101.7 million, including $84.9 million of cash denominated in bolivar fuertes.

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.

In June 2010, the Venezuelan government established an exchange process that required that each transaction be approved by the government’s central bank (the “SITME” rate).  The majority of SITME transactions were approved at a rate of 5.3 bolivar fuertes to the dollar and we used

 
7

 

this rate to remeasure our bolivar fuerte-denominated earnings into U.S. dollars each period, and monetary assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars from June  2010 to January 2013.

In February 2013, the Venezuelan government devalued the official exchange rate resulting in a new official rate of 6.3 bolivar fuertes to the dollar.  The government also announced the elimination of the SITME rate.  Beginning in February 2013, we began to use the official exchange rate to remeasure our bolivar-fuerte denominated earnings, monetary assets and liabilities.  We recognized a $13.4 million net remeasurement loss as a result of the devaluation in the first quarter of 2013.

Brink’s Venezuela has been unable to obtain sufficient U.S. dollars to purchase certain imported supplies and fixed assets to operate its business in Venezuela, and as a result, has purchased more expensive, locally denominated supplies and fixed assets, and we expect it will continue to do so in the future.

Note 2 – Segment information

We identify our operating segments based on how resources are allocated and operating decisions are made.  Management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on operating profit or loss, excluding non-segment expenses.  Under the criteria set forth in FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting, we have four geographic operating segments, which are aggregated into two reportable segments: International and North America.  We currently serve customers in more than 100 countries, including approximately 50 countries where we operate subsidiaries.

The primary services of the reportable segments include:
·  
armored vehicle transportation, which we refer to as cash-in-transit (“CIT”)
·  
automated teller machine replenishment, and servicing, and network infrastructure services (“ATM Services”)
·  
secure international transportation of valuables (“Global Services”)
·  
supply chain management of cash (“Cash Management Services”) including cash logistics services, deploying and servicing safes and safe control devices (e.g., our patented CompuSafe® service), coin sorting and wrapping, integrated check and cash processing services (“Virtual Vault Services”)
·  
bill payment acceptance and processing services to utility companies and other billers (“Payment Services”)
·  
security and guarding services (including airport security)

In the first nine months of 2013, we made cash contributions totalling $13.0 million to our primary U.S. pension plan.  We are not required to make a contribution to the primary U.S. pension plan for the remainder of 2013.

In the first nine months of 2012, we recognized $5.0 million in settlement losses related to the payment of U.S. pension benefits.


Retirement benefits other than pensions
We provide retirement healthcare benefits for eligible current and former U.S., Canadian, and Brazilian employees.  Retirement benefits related to our former U.S. coal operation include medical benefits provided by the Pittston Coal Group Companies Employee Benefit Plan for UMWA Represented Employees (the “UMWA plans”) as well as costs related to Black Lung obligations.

2013 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first nine months of 2013 was lower than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate largely due to the geographical mix of earnings, mostly offset by higher taxes due to withholding taxes, and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax.

2012 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first nine months of 2012 was lower than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate largely due to a  $21 million non-cash income tax benefit as a result of the Company changing its funding strategy for retiree health care obligations (as described below), partially offset by higher taxes due to withholding taxes, and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax.

The Company changed its funding strategy for certain retiree health care obligations and, as a result, no longer expects to be affected by an income tax deduction limitation enacted by The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (“the Act”).  The Act disallows deductions for prescription drug benefit costs funded after December 31, 2012, to the extent these costs are reimbursed by a “Medicare Part D Subsidy.”

Note 5 – Acquisitions

We acquired 100% of the capital stock of Brazil-based Rede Transacoes Eletronicas Ltda. (Rede Trel) on January 31, 2013.  The purchase price of approximately $27.7 million included $25.9 million in cash and the $1.8 million acquisition-date fair value of contingent consideration. 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 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 have provisionally estimated fair values for the assets purchased and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition in the following table. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The amounts reported are considered provisional as we are completing the valuations that are required to allocate the purchase price. As a result, the allocation of the purchase price and the amount of goodwill and intangible assets may change in the future.

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.

We acquired the remaining 26% ownership interest in our cash logistics business in Chile for approximately $18 million in cash on January 10, 2013.  We now own 100% of this business.
