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 (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
Our Venezuelan operations accounted for $95.6 million or 9.8% of total Brink’s revenues and represented a significant component of total segment operating profit in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

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

 
7

 

dollar and we used 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 December 2012.

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.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recognized a $13.4 million net remeasurement loss as a result of the devaluation.

At March 31, 2013, we had bolivar fuerte-denominated net monetary assets of $79.1 million, including $58.5 million of cash denominated in bolivar fuertes.  On an equity-method basis, we had investments in our Venezuelan operations of $91.1 million at March 31, 2013.

We are currently unsure whether we will be able to continue to obtain sufficient U.S. dollars to purchase imported supplies and fixed assets to operate our business in Venezuela, and as a result, we may experience business interruptions and higher operating costs 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)

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 quarter of 2013 was higher than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to a nondeductible remeasurement charge resulting from a currency devaluation in Venezuela in the first quarter, as well as additional devaluations forecasted in the last nine months of 2013. 

2012 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first quarter of 2012 was higher than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate largely due to withholding taxes and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax, partially offset by the geographical mix of earnings.

Note 6 – Acquisitions

We acquired 100% of the capital stock of Brazil-based Rede Transacoes Eletronicas Ltda. (Rede Trel) for approximately $26 million in cash on January 31, 2013.  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.  At the date of issuance of the financial statements, the initial purchase accounting was not completed for the Rede Trel acquisition.

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.

Note 9 – 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.  Valuation levels were defined in our 2012 Form 10-K.

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.

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.

The fair value of outstanding foreign currency contracts was not significant.  There were no transfers in or out of any of the levels of the valuation hierarchy in the first three months of 2013.

(b)  
Loss from operations includes $15.3 million of accrued severance expenses which will be required to be paid to terminate certain employees of the German operations after the sale of the business is completed.  We intend to contribute a portion of the cost to fund the severance payments to the business prior to the execution of the sales transaction.

Discontinued European Operations
In 2012, we agreed to sell our cash-in-transit operations in Germany and Poland as well as event security operations in France.  The divestiture in France closed in January 2013 ($0.1 million loss on sale), the divestiture in Poland closed in March 2013 ($0.4 million loss on sale), and the divestiture in Germany is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2013.  We completed the divestiture of guarding operations in Morocco in December 2012 and recognized a loss on the sale of $0.3 million.

The results of European operations in Germany, Poland, France, and Morocco have been excluded from continuing operations and are reported as discontinued operations for the current and prior periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated Review

Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP results described in this filing are financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  The purpose of the non-GAAP results is to report financial information without certain income and expense items and to adjust the quarterly non-GAAP tax rates so that the non-GAAP tax rate in each of the quarters is equal to the full-year non-GAAP tax rate.  For 2013, a forecasted full-year tax rate is used.  The full year non-GAAP tax rate in both years excludes certain pretax and tax income and expense amounts.  The non-GAAP results provide information to assist comparability and estimates of future performance.  Brink’s believes these measures are helpful in assessing operations and estimating future results and enable period-to-period comparability of financial performance.  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.  The adjustments are described in detail and are reconciled to our GAAP results on pages 28 – 30.

Organic Growth
Organic growth represents the change in revenues or operating profit between the current and prior period, excluding the effect of the following items: acquisitions and dispositions, changes in currency exchange rates and the remeasurement of net monetary assets in Venezuela under highly inflationary accounting.

Overview

GAAP
Our revenues increased $36.7 million or 4% and our operating profit decreased $30.5 million or 65% in the first quarter of 2013.  Revenues increased due to organic growth in our International segment, partially offset by unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates.  Operating profit decreased primarily due to the $18.7 million loss related to the February 2013 robbery in Brussels, Belgium, a charge related to the remeasurement of net monetary assets as a result of the devaluation of Venezuela currency ($13.4 million) and a profit decrease in North America.

Our income from continuing operations in 2013 decreased $18.8 million compared to 2012 primarily due to the operating profit decrease mentioned above, partially offset by the positive income tax and noncontrolling interest impacts of the profit decrease.

Our earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.04, down from $0.43 in 2012.

We conformed the method we used in 2012 to allocate certain international overhead expenses to Latin America, EMEA and Asia Pacific to the method we are using in 2013.  The 2012 amounts were not materially affected.

Our revenues increased $36.6 million or 4% and our operating profit decreased $22.2 million or 34% in 2013.  Revenues increased due to organic growth in our International segment, partially offset by unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates.  Operating profit decreased primarily due to the $18.7 million loss related to the February 2013 robbery in Brussels, Belgium and a profit decrease in North America.

Our income from continuing operations in 2013 decreased 48% primarily due to lower operating profit, partially offset by the positive income tax impact of the profit decrease.

Our earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.35, down from $0.67 in 2012.

Outlook for 2013

GAAP
Our organic revenue growth rate for 2013 is expected to be in the 5% to 8% range, and our estimate of the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on revenue is in the negative 2% to negative 4% range.  Our operating segment margin is expected to be in the 5.0% to 5.5% range. Our International organic revenue growth rate for 2013 is expected to be in the 7% to 9% range, and our estimate of the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on International revenue is in the negative 3% to negative 5% range.  Our International segment margin is expected to be in the 6.0% to 7.0% range.  Our North America organic revenue growth rate for 2013 is expected to be in the 0% to 2% range, and we do not expect changes in currency exchange rates to affect North America revenue compared to last year.  Our North America segment margin is expected to be in the 1% to 2% range.  On February 8, 2013, the Venezuelan government announced a 16% devaluation from the rate we previously used to remeasure our earnings. Our full-year outlook assumes a total devaluation of about 40% - the total impact of which is estimated to be a reduction of $130 million in revenue.  See page 24 for more information regarding Venezuela.

Non-GAAP
Our outlook for non-GAAP revenues is the same as our outlook for GAAP revenues.

Segment Review
First Quarter 2013 versus First Quarter 2012

Consolidated Segment Review

GAAP
Revenue increased 4% to $977.4 million due primarily to organic growth of 8% in our International segment partially offset by unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates.

Segment operating profit decreased 53% ($37.8 million) reflecting lower profits in both our North America and International segments.  Results include a charge of $18.7 million related to a robbery in Brussels, Belgium.  This charge impacts North America segment by $3.5 million and International by $15.2 million.  First quarter 2013 also includes a $13.4 million charge related to the remeasurement of net monetary assets as a result of the devaluation of Venezuela currency.

Non-GAAP
Revenue increased 4% to $973.5 million due primarily to organic growth of 8% in our International segment partially offset by unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates.

Segment operating profit decreased 32% ($24.2 million) reflecting lower profits in both our North America and International segments.  Results include a charge of $18.7 million related to the robbery in Brussels, Belgium.  This charge impacts North America segment by $3.5 million and International by $15.2 million.

International Segment Review

Overview
GAAP
Revenues in the first quarter of 2013 for our International segment were 5% higher ($37.5 million) than the same period of 2012 as:
·  
revenues in Latin America were 7% higher ($26.6 million)
·  
revenues in EMEA were 2% higher ($5.6 million), and
·  
revenues in Asia Pacific were 14% higher ($5.3 million).

Operating profit in our International segment decreased 45% ($29.6 million) due to lower profits in Latin America and EMEA.  Results include a charge of $15.2 million related to the robbery in Brussels, Belgium and a $13.4 million charge related to the remeasurement of net monetary assets as a result of the devaluation of Venezuela currency.

Non-GAAP
Revenues in the first quarter of 2013 for our International segment were 5% higher ($37.4 million) than the same period of 2012 as:
·  
revenues in Latin America were 7% higher ($26.6 million)
·  
revenues in EMEA were 2% higher ($5.5 million), and
·  
revenues in Asia Pacific were 14% higher ($5.3 million).

Operating profit in our International segment decreased 25% ($16.7 million) due to lower profits in Latin America and EMEA.  Results include a charge of $15.2 million related to the robbery in Brussels, Belgium.

Latin America
GAAP
Revenue in Latin America increased 7% ($26.6 million) due to organic growth of 12% ($45.9 million) driven by inflation-based price increases in Venezuela and Argentina, partially offset by an unfavorable currency impact ($22.3 million).

Latin America operating profit decreased 52% due to:
·  
a charge related to the remeasurement of net monetary assets in Venezuela ($13.4 million)
·  
19% organic decrease due to lower profits in Brazil and higher security costs, partially offset by improvement in Venezuela.

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

 
21

 

Latin America operating profit decreased 25% due primarily to a 20% organic decrease due to lower profits in Brazil and higher security costs, partially offset by improvement in Venezuela.

EMEA
GAAP
EMEA revenues increased 2% ($5.6 million) due to organic revenue growth.  Organic growth was driven by increased volumes in Global Services, the Netherlands, Ireland and Russia, partially offset by lower revenues in France and Greece.

EMEA operating profit decreased 53% due to lower profits across much of the region and higher security costs, partially offset by organic improvement in the Netherlands and Global Services.

Non-GAAP
EMEA revenues increased 2% ($5.5 million) due to organic revenue growth.  Organic growth was driven by increased volumes in Global Services, The Netherlands, Ireland and Russia, partially offset by lower revenues in France and Greece.

EMEA operating profit decreased 48% due to lower profits across much of the region and higher security costs, partially offset by organic improvement in the Netherlands and Global Services.

Asia Pacific
Revenue in Asia Pacific increased 14% ($5.3 million) due mainly to organic growth in China, Hong Kong and India.

Operating profit more than doubled due streamlining the regional cost structure and improved profits in China, Hong Kong and India.

North America Segment

GAAP
Revenues in North America were flat due to organic decrease in the United States offset by organic growth in Canada.

Operating profit decreased $8.2 million due to lower CIT demand and continued pricing pressure in the U.S. and the $3.5 million impact of the loss related to the robbery in Brussels, Belgium.

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

Operating profit decreased $7.5 million due to lower CIT demand and continued pricing pressure in the U.S. and the $3.5 million impact of the loss related to the robbery in Brussels, Belgium.

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 (Loss).  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.

Non-segment expenses in the first quarter of 2013 were $7.3 million lower than 2012 mainly due to decreased retirement costs ($4.2 million) and lower benefit costs in general and administrative expenses ($2.2 million). We also recognized a gain related to a favorable purchase price adjustment on the 2010 Mexico acquisition ($1.1 million) in the first quarter of 2013.

Outlook for 2013
We believe that non-segment expenses will be approximately $83 million in 2013, or $6 million lower than 2012 because of a decrease in costs related to retirement plans.  See page 27 for a summary of our 2013 Outlook.

Outlook for 2013
We estimate that non-segment expenses on a non-GAAP basis will be approximately $41 million in 2013, or $1 million lower than 2012 primarily as a result of lower benefit costs in general and administrative expenses.  See page 27 for a summary of our 2013 Outlook.

Foreign Operations

We currently serve customers in more than 100 countries, including approximately 50 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.
 
 
From time to time, we use foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies.  At March 31, 2013, the notional value of our shorter term outstanding foreign currency contracts was $69.4 million with remaining weighted average contract maturities of approximately one month.  These shorter term foreign currency contracts primarily offset exposures in the Euro and Mexican peso.  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 such contracts in the first quarter of 2013. 

At March 31, 2013, we also had a longer term cross currency swap contract with a notional value of $21.5 million.  This currency contract, which has a weighted average maturity of 3.2 years, was entered into to hedge exposure in Brazilian real and is designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes.  We recognized net gains of $0.2 million on this contract, of which gains of $0.4 million were included other operating income (expense) to offset transaction losses of $0.4 million and expenses of $0.2 million were included in other income in the first quarter of 2013. 
  
At March 31, 2013, the fair value of all outstanding foreign currency contracts was not significant.
                                                                                                                         
Venezuelan operations
Our Venezuelan operations constitute a material portion of our overall consolidated operations, and accounted for $95.6 million or 9.8% of total Brink’s revenues and represented a significant component of total segment operating profit in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

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 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 December 2012.

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 new official exchange rate of 6.3 to remeasure our bolivar-fuerte denominated earnings, monetary assets and liabilities.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recognized a $13.4 million net remeasurement loss as a result of the devaluation.

At March 31, 2013, we had bolivar fuerte-denominated net monetary assets of $79.1 million, including $58.5 million of cash denominated in bolivar fuertes.  On an equity-method basis, we had investments in our Venezuelan operations of $91.1 million at March 31, 2013.

We are currently unsure whether we will be able to continue to obtain sufficient U.S. dollars to purchase imported supplies and fixed assets to operate our business in Venezuela, and as a result, we may experience business interruptions and higher operating costs in the future.

2013 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first quarter of 2013 was higher than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to a nondeductible remeasurement charge resulting from a currency devaluation in Venezuela in the first quarter, as well as additional devaluations forecasted in the last nine months of 2013. 

2012 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first quarter of 2012 was higher than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate largely due to withholding taxes and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax, partially offset by the geographical mix of earnings.

Outlook for 2013
On a GAAP basis, the effective income tax rate for 2013 is expected to be between 49% and 52% compared to 17% in 2012.  On a non-GAAP basis, the effective income tax rate for 2013 is expected to be between 36% and 39% compared to 36% in 2012.  Our effective tax rate may fluctuate materially from these estimates due to changes in the forecasted devaluation in Venezuela, changes in forecasted 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 27 for a summary of our 2013 oulook.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests

The decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the first three months of 2013 was primarily due to a decrease in net income of our Venezuelan subsidiary primarily as a result of the remeasurement of net monetary assets to reflect the February 2013 devaluation of the official exchange rate in Venezuela.

Outlook for 2013
We expect net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $3 million to $5 million on a GAAP basis and $17 million to $20 million on non-GAAP basis in 2013 as compared to $21 million on a GAAP basis and $19 million on non-GAAP basis in 2012.  See page 27 for a summary of our 2013 outlook.

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 other income and expense items, and
·  
to adjust the quarterly non-GAAP tax rates so that the non-GAAP tax rate in each of the quarters is equal to the full-year non-GAAP tax rate.

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 more accurately, 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

Cash flows from operating activities increased by $19.7 million in the first three months of 2013 as compared to the first three months of 2012.  We used $6.7 million more cash for investing activities in the first three months of 2013 compared to the first three months of 2012 as a result of an increase in cash used for business acquisitions and a decrease in proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities and other investments.  We financed our liquidity needs in the first three months of 2013 with our revolving credit facility and short-term borrowings.

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 lease agreement were accounted for as operating leases.

(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 is a supplemental financial measure that is 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.

GAAP
Operating cash flows increased by $19.7 million in the first three months of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.  The increase was primarily due to changes in the amount of cash held for customers in certain of our secure Cash Management Services operations (cash held for customers went down by $18.8 million in the first quarter of 2012 and went up by $16.8 million in the same 2013 period).  Lower operating profit and changes in working capital also resulted in less cash provided from operations during the 2013 period.

Non-GAAP
Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $15.4 million on a non-GAAP basis in the first three months of 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.  The decrease was primarily due to lower operating profit and changes in working capital.

Cash used by investing activities increased by $6.7 million in the first three months of 2013 versus the first three months of 2012.  The increase was primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in cash used for business acquisitions and a $2.2 million decrease in cash received from the sale of available-for-sale securities and other investments.  The increase in cash used for business acquisitions is primarily due to the acquisition of Rede Trel, a Brazil-based distributor of electronic prepaid products, for approximately $15.9 million, net of cash acquired.  Acquisitions in 2012 include the purchase of a logistics software provider in France.  We include the acquisition of noncontrolling interests of subsidiaries in the financing section of our cash flow statement.

Debt borrowings and repayments
In the first quarter of 2013, we borrowed from our revolving credit facilities and short-term debt to fund operating and investing activities and the acquisition of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries.

Dividends
We paid dividends to Brink’s shareholders of $0.10 per share ($4.8 million) in the first quarter of 2013, similar to the prior year.  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.

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.   Net Debt excluding cash and debt in Venezuelan operations was $395 million at March 31, 2013, and $280 million at December 31, 2012.

Net Debt increased by $104 million primarily due to acquisitions ($46 million, net of cash acquired and including amounts classified in investing and financing activities), lower operating profit and working capital changes.

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 cash for use in the U.S.  See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our 2012 Form 10-K, for more information on the risks associated with having businesses outside the U.S.

Incremental taxes.  Of the $234.8 million of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2013, approximately $208.1 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 were to decide 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 were to occur.

Venezuela.  The Venezuelan government has currency restrictions that limit our ability to obtain U.S. dollars to operate our business and to repatriate cash.  This may limit our ability to use funds earned in Venezuela for general corporate purposes, including reducing our debt.  At March 31, 2013, our Venezuelan subsidiaries held $0.6 million of cash and short-term investments denominated in U.S. dollars and $58.5 million of cash denominated in bolivar fuertes.

Pension contributions.  We have a significant 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, but we may contribute shares of our stock in the future, if necessary.  Estimated future contributions to our primary U.S. pension plan total $237.8 million based on assumptions as of December 31, 2012.

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 March 31, 2013, $292 million was available under the Revolving Facility.  Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility as of March 31, 2013, were denominated primarily in U.S. dollars and to a lesser extent in Canadian dollars and in euros.

The margin on LIBOR borrowings under the Revolving Facility, which ranges from 0.9% to 1.575% depending on our credit rating, was 1.20% at March 31, 2013.  The margin on alternate base rate borrowings under the Revolving Facility ranges 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, which ranges from 0.10% to 0.30%, was 0.175% at March 31, 2013.

We have $100 million in unsecured notes issued 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.

As of March 31, 2013, we had three unsecured multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities totaling $70 million, of which approximately $42 million was available.  A $20 million facility expires in May 2014, a $30 million facility expires in October 2014 and a $20 million facility expires in December 2015.   Interest on these facilities is based on LIBOR plus a margin.  The margin ranges from

 
34

 

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 $20 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 March 31, 2013, $20 million was available under the facility.

We have three unsecured letter of credit facilities totaling $164 million, of which approximately $32 million was available at March 31, 2013.  A $54 million facility and a $25 million facility expire in December 2014 and an $85 million facility expires in June 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 March 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
At March 31, 2013, we had 100 million shares of common stock authorized and 48.0 million shares issued and outstanding.

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 20,100 beneficiaries in the plans.

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 4,300 beneficiaries in the UMWA plans.  The company does not expect to make additional contributions to these plans until 2022 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 780 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:
·  
Changing discount rates and other assumptions in effect at measurement dates (normally December 31)
·  
Investment returns of plan assets
·  
Addition of new participants (historically immaterial due to freezing of pension benefits and exit from coal business)
·  
Mortality rates
·  
Change in laws

The assumptions used to estimate our U.S. retirement obligations can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Commitments and Contingent Matters

Operating leases
We have made residual value guarantees of approximately $15.5 million at March 31, 2013, related to operating leases, principally for trucks and other vehicles.

Other
We are involved in various other lawsuits and claims in the ordinary course of business.  We are not able to estimate the range of losses for some of these matters.  We have recorded accruals for losses that are considered probable and reasonably estimable.  We do not believe that the ultimate disposition of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We serve customers in more than 100 countries, including approximately 50 countries where we operate subsidiaries.  These operations expose us to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.  In addition, we consume various commodities in the normal course of business, exposing us to the effects of changes in the prices of such commodities. These financial and commodity exposures are monitored and managed by us as an integral part of our overall risk management program.  Our risk management program seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of certain markets may have on our operating results. We have not had any material change in our market risk exposures in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is our principal executive officer, and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), who is our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, as of end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
 
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We are involved in various other lawsuits and claims in the ordinary course of business.  We are not able to estimate the range of losses for some of these matters.  We have recorded accruals for losses that are considered probable and reasonably estimable.  We do not believe that the ultimate disposition of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.
