(a) The non-GAAP financial metric, adjusted EBITDA, is presented with its corresponding GAAP metric, net income attributable to Brink’s.

(b) Constant currency represents 2018 results at 2017 exchange rates.

Highlights:

• U.S. 4Q profit up 123%, margin 9.7%; full-year profit up 122%, margin up 310 basis points to 6.8%
• Mexico 4Q profit up 31%; full-year profit up 61%, margin up ~500 basis points to 16.1%
• Agreed to acquire competitor in Colombia and two asset purchases in Brazil
  • Combined revenue ~$30 million with expected closings in 2019 (not in guidance)
• Argentine peso favorable versus 4Q guidance, but more than offset by negative FX from other currencies
• Commitments obtained to amend and extend credit agreement to increase capacity and improve rates, subject to final agreement

Doug Pertz, president and chief executive officer, said: “Brink’s delivered strong fourth-quarter and full-year results despite persistent currency impact. Led by accelerated profit growth in the U.S. and Mexico, fourth-quarter non-GAAP EPS increased 11% and was up 46% on a constant currency basis. Non-GAAP operating profit rose 15% in the fourth quarter, more than offsetting a $27 million negative currency impact. On a constant currency basis, fourth-quarter non-GAAP operating profit rose 44%, reflecting a margin rate increase of 90 basis points to 11.4%. Our full-year non-GAAP margin rate increased 130 basis points, from 8.8% to 10.1%.

“We are particularly pleased with the accelerated profit growth in our core U.S. operations, which was supplemented by our Dunbar operations. As we stated last quarter, we believe our U.S. business has reached a positive inflection point in terms of its profit trajectory going forward. Our goal in 2019 is to generate total U.S. revenue of at least $1.2 billion and exit the year at a 10% margin rate. In 2021, when we achieve full synergies related to the Dunbar acquisition, we expect to generate a U.S. margin rate approaching 13%. We’re equally excited about our revenue and profit momentum in Mexico, which continues to be driven by growing sales to retail customers, improved productivity and lower labor costs.

“In summary, our fourth-quarter performance capped off a very strong year in which our non-GAAP revenue increased 8%.  Full-year non-GAAP operating profit increased 23%, more than offsetting $70 million of negative currency translation.  In constant currency, 2018 non-GAAP revenue increased 14% and non-GAAP operating profit was up 48%.

“In 2019, we expect accelerated organic and inorganic growth led by the U.S., Mexico and South America to drive operating profit growth of approximately 20%.  In South America, inflation-based price increases should begin to mitigate the impact of currency devaluations as we move through the year.”

Share Repurchase
During the fourth quarter, Brink’s repurchased 973,348 shares of its common stock for approximately $68 million at an average price of $70.28 per share, including 700,000 shares under the Accelerated Share Repurchase (ASR) plan entered into in December.  After taking delivery of an additional 37,387 shares on February 6, 2019 to settle the ASR, Brink’s will have repurchased 1,347,564 shares for approximately $94 million at an average price of $69.35.   The company has approximately $106 million remaining for share repurchases under its $200 million share repurchase authorization, which expires on December 31, 2019.  Brink’s 2019 guidance assumes approximately 51 million weighted-average shares on a fully diluted basis for full-year 2019.

2019 Non-GAAP Guidance
The company’s 2019 non-GAAP guidance includes:

• Revenue growth of 9% to ~$3.75 billion
• Operating profit growth of 20% to a range between $405 million and $425 million (margin growth of approximately 100 basis points to around 11%)
• Adjusted EBITDA growth of 17% to a range between $590 million and $610 million
• Earnings growth of 21% to a range between $4.10 and $4.30 per share
• Free cash flow before dividends of $220 million

This guidance has been updated from preliminary guidance provided on October 24 to include the expected profit impact of:

• Negative currency translation since prior guidance (approximately $50 million on revenue and $7 million on operating profit related primarily to the Brazilian real and Mexico peso)
• Operating expense investment of $20-$30 million to support Strategy 2.0 expansion into high-value, cash-related services and IT initiatives to enhance security and new operating systems.

This 2019 guidance assumes currency rates as of December 31, 2018 for all currencies except the Argentine peso, for which the company is using an estimated 2019 rate of 45 pesos to the U.S. dollar.

Amounts may not add due to rounding

(a) The 2018 Non-GAAP amounts are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP items on pages 10-13.  The 2019 Non-GAAP outlook amounts exclude certain forecasted Non-GAAP adjusting items, such as intangible asset amortization and U.S. retirement plan costs. We have not forecasted the impact of highly inflationary accounting on our Argentina operations in 2019 or other potential Non-GAAP adjusting items for which the timing and amounts are currently under review, such as future restructuring actions. The 2019 Non-GAAP outlook amounts for operating profit, nonoperating expense, provision for income taxes, income from continuing operations, EPS from continuing operations, effective income tax rate and Adjusted EBITDA cannot be reconciled to GAAP without unreasonable effort. We cannot reconcile these amounts to GAAP because we are unable to accurately forecast the impact of highly inflationary accounting on our Argentina operations in 2019 or other potential Non-GAAP adjusting items for which the timing and amounts are currently under review, such as future restructuring actions.

(b) The 2019 GAAP outlook excludes any forecasted impact from highly inflationary accounting on our Argentina operations as well as other potential Non-GAAP adjusting items for which the timing and amounts are currently under review, such as future restructuring actions.

(c) Non-GAAP amounts include the impact of prior year comparable period results for acquired and disposed businesses. GAAP results also include the impact of acquisition-related intangible amortization, restructuring and other charges, and disposition related gains/losses.

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

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

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

Reorganization and Restructuring
2016 Restructuring
In the fourth quarter of 2016, management implemented restructuring actions across our global business operations and our corporate functions. As a result of these actions, we recognized charges of $18.1 million in 2016, an additional $17.3 million in 2017 and $13.0 million in 2018.  The actions under this program were substantially completed in 2018, with cumulative pretax charges of approximately $48 million.

Other Restructurings
Management routinely implements restructuring actions in targeted sections of our business.  As a result of these actions, we recognized charges of $4.6 million in 2017 and $7.6 million in 2018, primarily severance costs.  For the current restructuring actions, we expect to incur additional costs of up to $1 million in future periods.

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

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

2018 Acquisitions and Dispositions

• Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $17.7 million in 2018.
• Integration costs in 2018 related to acquisitions in France and the U.S. were $8.1 million.
• 2018 transaction costs related to business acquisitions were $6.7 million.
• We incurred 2018 severance charges related to our acquisitions in Argentina, France, U.S. and Brazil of $5.0 million.
• Compensation expense related to the retention of key Dunbar employees was $4.1 million in 2018.
• We recognized a net gain in 2018 ($2.6 million, net of statutory employee benefit) on the sale of real estate in Mexico.

2017 Acquisitions and Dispositions

• Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $8.4 million in 2017.
• A net gain of $7.8 million was recognized in 2017 related to the sale of real estate in Mexico.
• We incurred 2017 severance costs of $4.0 million related to our acquisitions in Argentina and Brazil.
• Transaction costs were $2.6 million related to acquisitions of new businesses in 2017.
• We recognized currency transaction gains of $1.8 million related to acquisition activity in 2017.

Argentina highly inflationary impact Beginning in the third quarter of 2018, we designated Argentina’s economy as highly inflationary for accounting purposes. As a result, Argentine peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are now remeasured at each balance sheet date to the currency exchange rate then in effect, with currency remeasurement gains and losses recognized in earnings. In addition, nonmonetary assets retain a higher historical basis when the currency is devalued. The higher historical basis results in incremental expense being recognized when the nonmonetary assets are consumed. In the second half of 2018, we recognized $8.0 million in pretax charges related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $6.2 million.

Reporting compliance Certain third party costs incurred related to the implementation and adoption of ASU 2016-02, the new lease accounting standard effective for us January 1, 2019 ($2.7 million), and the mitigation of material weaknesses ($1.8 million) are excluded from non-GAAP results.

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

Non-GAAP results described in this press release are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  The purpose of the Non-GAAP results is to report financial information from the primary operations of our business by excluding the effects of certain income and expenses that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of our operations.  The specific items excluded have not been allocated to segments, are described in detail on pages 8-9 and in more detail in our Form 10-K, and are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures below.  In addition, we refer to non-GAAP constant currency amounts, which represent current period results and forecasts at prior period exchange rates.

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

The 2019 Non-GAAP outlook amounts for provision for income taxes, income (loss) from continuing operations, EPS from continuing operations, effective income tax rate and Adjusted EBITDA cannot be reconciled to GAAP without unreasonable effort. We cannot reconcile these amounts to GAAP because we are unable to accurately forecast the impact of highly inflationary accounting on our Argentina operations or other potential Non-GAAP adjusting items for which the timing and amounts are currently under review, such as future restructuring actions.  The impact of highly inflationary accounting and other potential Non-GAAP adjusting items could be significant to our GAAP results.

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

Amounts may not add due to rounding.

(a) See “Other Items Not Allocated To Segments” on pages 8-9 for details.  We do not consider these items to be reflective of our core operating performance due to the variability of such items from period-to-period in terms of size, nature and significance.

(b) Non-GAAP income from continuing operations and non-GAAP EPS have been adjusted to reflect an effective income tax rate in each interim period equal to the full-year non-GAAP effective income tax rate. The full-year non-GAAP effective tax rate was 34.2% for 2018 and 34.2% for 2017.

(c) Our U.S. retirement plans are frozen and costs related to these plans are excluded from non-GAAP results. Certain non-U.S. operations also have retirement plans. Settlement charges related to these non-U.S. plans are also excluded from non-GAAP results.

(d) Penalties upon prepayment of Private Placement notes in September 2017 and a term loan in October 2017.

(e) Related to an unfavorable court ruling in the third quarter of 2017 on a non-income tax claim in Brazil. The court ruled that Brink’s must pay interest accruing from the initial claim filing in 1994 to the current date. The principal amount of the claim was approximately $1 million and was recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2017.

(f) Represents the estimated impact of tax legislation enacted into law in the fourth quarter of 2017.  This primarily relates to the U.S. Tax Reform expense from the remeasurement of our net deferred tax assets.

(g) The non-GAAP tax rate excludes the 2018 and 2017 foreign tax benefits that resulted from a transaction that accelerated U.S. tax in 2015.

(h) Effective June 30, 2018, we deconsolidated our investment in Venezuelan subsidiaries and recognized a pretax charge of $126.7 million.

(i) Due to reorganization and restructuring activities, there was a $0.1 million non-GAAP adjustment to share-based compensation in the fourth quarter and full-year of 2018. There is no difference between GAAP and non-GAAP share-based compensation amounts for the other periods presented.

(j) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as non-GAAP income from continuing operations excluding the impact of non-GAAP interest expense, non-GAAP income tax provision, non-GAAP depreciation and amortization and non-GAAP share-based compensation.

(k) Because we reported a loss from continuing operations on a GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2017, second quarter of 2018 and full year 2018, GAAP EPS was calculated using basic shares. However, as we reported income from continuing operations on a non-GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2017, second quarter of 2018 and full year 2018, non-GAAP EPS was calculated using diluted shares.
