Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of presentation
The Brink’s Company (along with its subsidiaries, “Brink’s”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) has four operating segments:
•North America
•Latin America
•Europe
•Rest of World
Our unaudited interim condensed 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 condensed 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 adjustments) 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 condensed 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, 2021.
Use of Estimates
In accordance with 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from these 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, allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax assets and purchase price allocations.
In the first quarter of 2022, we further refined our global methodology of estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts. Our previous method to estimate currently expected credit losses in receivables (the allowance) was weighted significantly to a review of historical loss rates and specific identification of higher risk customer accounts. It also considered current and expected economic conditions, particularly the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, in determining an appropriate allowance. As many of our regions begin to recover from the pandemic, we have re-assessed those earlier assumptions and estimates. Our updated method now also includes an estimated allowance for accounts receivable significantly past due in order to adjust for at-risk receivables not captured in our previous method. As part of the analysis under the updated estimation methodology, we noted an increase in accounts receivable significantly past due, particularly in the U.S., and we recorded an additional allowance of $16.7 million in the first quarter of 2022. In the second quarter of 2022, the additional allowance was reduced by $0.4 million as a result of collections. Due to the fact that management has excluded this amount when evaluating internal performance, we have excluded it from segment results.
While most of our locations noted improved economics in 2021 and into the first six months of 2022, our current estimates could be materially adversely affected in future periods by the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of new variants of the COVID-19 virus, such as the Delta and, more recently, Omicron variants. The COVID-19 pandemic began to have an adverse impact on our results of operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as a result of reduced customer volumes, changes to our operating procedures and increases in our costs to provide services. We have taken and continue to take actions to adjust the way we operate and reduce our costs through restructuring activities and operational changes to address these impacts and align to future anticipated revenue levels.
We are continually assessing the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic, and the actions taken in response to it, will have on our employees, businesses and segments, customers and vendors and the industries that we serve. The full impact depends on many factors that are uncertain or not yet identifiable. We expect these factors will continue to impact our financial condition and our results of operations for a duration that is currently unknown. We will continue to monitor developments affecting our condensed consolidated financial statements, including indicators that goodwill or other long-lived assets may be impaired, increases in valuation allowances for doubtful accounts or deferred tax assets may be necessary or other accruals that may increase or be necessary resulting from actions taken to reduce our cost structure or conserve our liquidity. As noted above, we increased our allowance for doubtful accounts based on a re-assessment of our estimate and the aging of receivables in the wake of the pandemic.
Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include our controlled subsidiaries. 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. See "Venezuela" section below for further information. For controlled subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, the noncontrolling interests are included in net income and in total equity.
Investments in businesses that we do not control, but for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method and our proportionate share of income or loss is recorded in other operating income (expense). Investments in businesses for which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and
8
financial policies are accounted for at fair value, if readily determinable, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. For equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, we measure these investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes from observable price changes. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency Translation
Our condensed 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. Other than nonmonetary equity securities, nonmonetary assets and liabilities do not fluctuate with changes in local currency exchange rates to the dollar. For nonmonetary equity securities traded in highly inflationary economies, the fair market value of the equity securities are remeasured at the current exchange rates to determine gain or loss to be recorded in net income. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates of exchange in effect during the year.
Argentina
We operate in Argentina through wholly owned subsidiaries and a smaller controlled subsidiary (together "Brink's Argentina"). Revenues from Brink's Argentina represented approximately 5% of our consolidated revenues for the first six months of 2022 and 4% of our consolidated revenues for the first six months of 2021.
The operating environment in Argentina continues to present business challenges, including ongoing devaluation of the Argentine peso and significant inflation. In the first six months of 2022 and 2021, the Argentine peso declined approximately 18% (from 103.1 to 125.0 pesos to the U.S. dollar) and approximately 13% (from 84.0 to 96.2 pesos to the U.S. dollar), respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Argentine peso declined approximately 19% (from 84.0 to 103.1 pesos to the U.S. dollar).
Beginning July 1, 2018, we designated Argentina's economy as highly inflationary for accounting purposes. As a result, we consolidated Brink's Argentina using our accounting policy for subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies beginning with the third quarter of 2018. Argentine peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at each balance sheet date using the currency exchange rate then in effect, with currency remeasurement gains and losses recognized in earnings. In the first six months of 2022, we recognized a $13.4 million pretax remeasurement loss. In the first six months of 2021, we recognized a $5.0 million pretax remeasurement loss.
At June 30, 2022, Argentina's economy remains highly inflationary for accounting purposes. At June 30, 2022, we had net monetary assets denominated in Argentine pesos of $75.8 million (including cash of $68.0 million). At June 30, 2022, we had net nonmonetary assets of $152.6 million (including $99.8 million of goodwill, $7.7 million in equity securities denominated in Argentine pesos and $3.7 million in debt securities denominated in Argentine pesos).
At December 31, 2021, we had net monetary assets denominated in Argentine pesos of $60.1 million (including cash of $52.9 million) and net nonmonetary assets of $155.3 million (including $99.8 million of goodwill, $8.2 million in equity securities denominated in Argentine pesos and $4.3 million in debt securities denominated in Argentine pesos).
During September 2019, the Argentine government announced currency controls on both companies and individuals. The Argentine central bank issued details as to how the exchange control procedures would operate in practice. Under these procedures, central bank approval is required for many transactions, including dividend repatriation abroad.
We have previously elected to use other market mechanisms to convert Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars. Conversions under these other market mechanisms generally settle at rates that are less favorable than the rates at which we remeasure the financial statements of Brink’s Argentina. We did not have any such conversion losses in the six months ended June 30, 2022 or June 30, 2021.
Although the Argentine government has implemented currency controls, Brink’s management continues to provide guidance and strategic oversight, including budgeting and forecasting for Brink’s Argentina. We continue to control our Argentina business for purposes of consolidation of our financial statements and continue to monitor the situation in Argentina.
Venezuela
Our Venezuelan operations offer transportation and route-based logistics management services for cash and valuables throughout Venezuela. Currency exchange regulations, combined with other government regulations, such as price controls and strict labor laws, significantly limit our ability to make and execute operational decisions at our Venezuelan subsidiaries. As a result of these conditions, we do not meet the accounting criteria for control over our Venezuelan operations and, as a result, we report the results of our investment in our Venezuelan subsidiaries using the cost method of accounting, the basis of which approximates zero. Prior to the imposition of the U.S.
9
government sanctions in 2019, we provided immaterial amounts of financial support to our Venezuela operations. We continue to monitor the situation in Venezuela, including the imposition of sanctions by the U.S. government targeting Venezuela.
Goodwill
Goodwill is recognized for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets of businesses acquired. We review goodwill for impairment annually, as of October 1, and whenever events or circumstances in interim periods indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. Impairment indicators were reviewed as of June 30, 2022 and we concluded that there were no indicators that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We will continue to monitor results in future periods to determine whether any indicators of impairment exist that would cause us to perform an impairment review.
Restricted Cash
In France and Malaysia, we offer services to certain of our customers where we manage some or all of their cash supply chains. In connection with these offerings, we take temporary title to certain customers' cash, which is included as restricted cash in our financial statements due to customer agreement or regulation. In addition, in accordance with a revolving credit facility, as of June 30, 2022, we are required to maintain a restricted cash reserve of $22.5 million ($15.0 million at December 31, 2021) and, due to this contractual restriction, we have classified these amounts as restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
New Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod tax allocations and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. ASU 2019-12 was effective for us on January 1, 2021. We recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment increasing retained earnings by $0.5 million on January 1, 2021.

Note 2 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Performance Obligations
We provide various services to meet the needs of our customers and we group these service offerings into three broad categories: Core Services, High-Value Services and Other Security Services.
Core Services
Cash-in-transit ("CIT") and basic ATM services are core services we provide to customers throughout the world. We charge customers per service performed or based on the value of goods transported. CIT services generally involve the secure transportation of cash, securities and other valuables between businesses, financial institutions and central banks. Basic ATM services are generally composed of management services, including cash replenishment and forecasting, remote monitoring, transaction processing, installation and maintenance.
High-Value Services
Our high-value services leverage our brand, global infrastructure and core services and include cash management services, global services, ATM managed services and payment services. We offer a variety of cash management services such as currency and coin counting and sorting, deposit preparation and reconciliation, and safe device installation and servicing (including our CompuSafe® service). Our global services business provides secure ground, sea and air transportation and storage of highly-valued commodities including diamonds, jewelry, precious metals and other valuables. We provide ATM managed services in North America and Europe for customers using Brink's-owned machines as well as machines owned by third parties. We also provide payment services which include bill payment and processing services on behalf of utility companies and other service providers plus general purpose reloadable prepaid cards and payroll cards.
Other Security Services
Our other security services feature the protection of airports, offices, warehouses, stores, and public venues in Europe, Rest of World and Latin America.
For performance obligations related to the services described above, we generally satisfy our obligations as each action to provide the service to the customer occurs. Because the customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits from our services, these performance obligations are deemed to be satisfied over time. We use an output method, units of service provided, to recognize revenue because that is the best method to represent the transfer of our services to the customer at the agreed upon rate for each action.
Although not as significant as our service offerings, we also sell goods to customers from time to time, such as safe devices. In those transactions, we satisfy our performance obligation at a point in time. We recognize revenue when the goods are delivered to the customer as that is the point in time that best represents when control has transferred to the customer.
Our contracts with customers describe the services we can provide along with the fees for each action to provide the service. We typically send invoices to customers for all of the services we have provided within a monthly period and payments are generally due within 30 to 60 days of the invoice date.
Although our customer contracts specify the fees for each action to provide service, the majority of the services stated in our contracts do not have a defined quantity over the contract term. Accordingly, the transaction price is considered variable as there is an unknown volume of services that will be rendered over the course of the contract. We recognize revenue for these services in the period in which they are provided to the customer based on the contractual rate at which we have the right to invoice the customer for each action.
Some of our contracts with customers contain clauses that define the level of service that the customer will receive. The service level agreements (“SLA”) within those contracts contain specific calculations to determine whether the appropriate level of service has been met within a specific period, which is typically a month. We estimate SLA penalties and recognize the amounts as a reduction to revenue.
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The majority of our revenues from contracts with customers are earned by providing services and these performance obligations are satisfied over time. Smaller amounts of revenues are earned from selling goods, such as safes, to customers where the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time.
Certain of our high-value services involve the leasing of assets, such as safes, to our customers along with the regular servicing of those safe devices. Revenues related to the leasing of these assets are recognized in accordance with applicable lease guidance, but are included in the above table as the amounts are a small percentage of overall revenues.
Contract Balances
Contract Assets
Although payment terms and conditions can vary, for the majority of our customer contracts, we invoice for all of the services provided to the customer within a monthly period. For certain customer contracts, the timing of our performance may precede our right to invoice the customer for the total transaction price. For example, Brink's affiliates in certain countries, primarily in Latin America, negotiate annual price adjustments with certain customers and, once the price increases are finalized, the pricing changes are made retroactive to services provided in earlier periods. These retroactive pricing adjustments are estimated and recognized as revenue with a corresponding contract asset in the same period in which the related services are performed. As the estimate of the ultimate transaction price changes, we recognize a cumulative catch-up adjustment for the change in estimate. In our Rest of World segment, certain Brink's affiliates provide services to specific customers and, per contract, a portion of the consideration is retained by the customers until the contract is completed. The retention amounts are reported as contract assets until we have the right to bill the customer for these amounts. Contract assets expected to be collected within one year ($4.8 million at June 30, 2022) are included in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amounts not expected to be billed and collected within one year ($4.0 million at June 30, 2022) are reported in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
12
Contract Liabilities
For other customer contracts, we may obtain the right to payment or receive customer payments prior to performing the related services under the contract. When the right to customer payments or receipt of payments precedes our performance, we recognize a contract liability, which is included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The opening and closing balances of receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities related to contracts with customers are as follows:
(In millions) | Receivables | Contract Assets | Contract Liabilities | ||||||||||||||
Opening (January 1, 2022) | $ | 701.8 | 6.3 | 17.9 | |||||||||||||
Closing (June 30, 2022) | 824.6 | 8.8 | 14.9 | ||||||||||||||
Increase (decrease) | $ | 122.8 | 2.5 | (3.0) |
The amount of revenue recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2022 that was included in the January 1, 2022 contract liabilities balance was $9.7 million. This revenue consists of services provided to customers who had prepaid for those services prior to the current year.
Revenue recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2022 from performance obligations satisfied in the prior year was not significant. This revenue is a result of changes in the transaction price of our contracts with customers.
Contract Costs
Sales commissions directly related to obtaining new contracts with customers are capitalized when incurred and are then amortized to expense ratably over the term of the contracts. At June 30, 2022, the net capitalized costs to obtain contracts was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The capitalized amount at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $2.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The amortization expense in the first six months of 2022 and 2021 was not significant in either period.
Practical Expedients
For the majority of our contracts with customers, we invoice a fixed amount for each unit of service we have provided. These contracts provide us with the right to invoice for an amount or rate that corresponds to the value we have delivered to our customers. The volume of services that will be provided to customers over the term is not known at inception of these contracts. Therefore, while the rate per unit of service is known, the transaction price itself is variable. For this reason, we recognize revenue from these contracts equal to the amount for which we have the contractual right to invoice the customers. Because we are not required to estimate variable consideration related to the transaction price in order to recognize revenue, we are also not required to estimate the variable consideration to provide certain disclosures. As a result, we have elected to use the optional exemption related to the disclosure of transaction prices, amounts allocated to remaining performance obligations and the future periods in which revenue will be recognized, sometimes referred to as backlog.
We have also elected to use the practical expedient for financing components related to our contract liabilities. We do not recognize interest expense on contracts for which the period between our receipt of customer payments and our service to the customer is one year or less.

Note 3 - 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. We completed a leadership change with our President and Chief Executive Officer in the second quarter of 2022. Our CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources to each operating segment based on a profit or loss measure which, at the reportable segment level, excludes the following:
•Corporate expenses - include corporate headquarters costs, regional management costs, currency transaction gains and losses, adjustments to reconcile segment accounting policies to GAAP, and costs related to global initiatives.
•Other items not allocated to segments - certain significant items such as reorganization and restructuring actions that are evaluated on an individual basis by management and are not considered part of the ongoing activities of the business are excluded from segment results. We also exclude certain costs, gains and losses related to acquisitions and dispositions of assets and of businesses. Brink's Argentina is consolidated using our accounting policy for subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies. We have excluded from our segment results the impact of highly inflationary accounting in Argentina, including currency remeasurement losses. Net charges related to a change in the methodology for estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts have been excluded from segment results. We have also excluded from our segment results net charges related to an internal loss in our U.S. global services operations. The net impact of the internal losses has included estimated bad debt expense for uncollectible receivables as well as legal costs to recover losses from insurance. The charges related to the internal losses have been offset by collections of previously reserved receivables and insurance recoveries. Finally, we have also excluded from our segment results estimated charges related to an antitrust legal matter in our Brink's Chile operations.
We manage our business in the following four segments:
•North America – operations in the U.S. and Canada, including the Brink’s Global Services ("BGS") line of business,
•Latin America – operations in Latin American countries where we have an ownership interest, including the BGS line of business. This segment includes operations in Mexico, which was previously reported in the North America segment,
•Europe – total operations in European countries that primarily provide services outside of the BGS line of business, and
•Rest of World – operations in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. This segment also includes total operations in European countries that primarily provide BGS services and BGS activity in Latin American countries where we do not have an ownership interest.
Prior to 2021, all business units within the operating segments followed an internal Brink's accounting policy for determining an allowance for doubtful accounts and recognizing bad debt expense. The allowance amounts reported by the operating segments were then reconciled to the required U.S. GAAP estimated consolidated allowance amount, and any differences were reported as part of Corporate expenses. During the first quarter of 2021, we changed the allowance calculation method of the U.S. business within the North America operating segment, in order to more closely align it with U.S. GAAP requirements. Differences between U.S. GAAP and existing internal policy were not significant for all other business units within the operating segments, and so no other changes were made, and reconciling amounts for those units will continue to be reported as part of Corporate expense. For the North America segment, the impact of this change in reporting was to reduce the segment allowance and to increase segment operating profit by $12.3 million in the first quarter of 2021. There was no net impact to condensed consolidated results, as a corresponding offsetting adjustment occurred on Corporate expenses.

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 operations include medical benefits provided by the Pittston Coal Group Companies Employee Benefit Plan for United Mine Workers of America Represented Employees (the “UMWA plans”) as well as costs related to Black Lung obligations.

2022 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first six months of 2022 was less than the 21% U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the release of valuation allowances on U.S. tax credits deemed realizable as a result of the issuance of U.S. final foreign tax credit regulations, offset by the geographical mix of earnings, the seasonality of book losses for which no tax benefit can be recorded, nondeductible expenses in Mexico, taxes on cross border payments and U.S. taxable income limitations, and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax.
2021 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first six months of 2021 was greater than the 21% U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the geographical mix of earnings, the seasonality of book losses for which no tax benefit can be recorded, nondeductible expenses in Mexico, taxes on cross border payments and U.S. taxable income limitations, and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax.
Valuation Allowance-Tax Credits
In the first quarter of 2022, we concluded that it is more likely than not that a substantial amount of the U.S. deferred tax assets for U.S. foreign tax credit and general business credit carryforwards that previously required a valuation allowance would be realized. Our conclusion was based upon an analysis of the final foreign tax credit regulations that the U.S. Treasury published in the Federal Register on January 4, 2022. Based upon this analysis, we determined a significant amount of the post-2021 foreign withholding taxes will now be ineligible for U.S. foreign income tax credit treatment and therefore we are forecasting that our U.S. operations will no longer annually be generating new foreign tax credits in excess of its annual foreign tax credit utilization limit. As a result, we expect to be able to utilize a substantial amount of our foreign tax credit and general business tax credit carryforwards to offset future tax prior to their expiration. Accordingly, we reversed a substantial amount of our valuation allowance on our net U.S. deferred tax assets, resulting in a $55.0 million benefit in our provision for income taxes for the period ended June 30, 2022. Due to the novel approach that the final regulations impose, it is possible that further developments in foreign country or U.S. tax laws could occur and may require us to change our assessment of the ultimate amounts we consider more-likely-than-not to be realized.
Additionally, as a result of the decision to terminate the cross currency swap contracts in July 2022 (see Note 8), the realization of the gain results in an additional source of future taxable income expected to utilize a further portion of foreign tax credit carryforward. Consequently, we released $10.9 million in valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2022 in other comprehensive income with an additional amount to be released in the third quarter of 2022 upon the termination and realization of the full amount of the gain.

Note 6 - Acquisitions and Dispositions
Acquisitions
We account for 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations include the results of operations for each acquired entity from the date of acquisition.
PAI, Midco, Inc. Acquisition
On April 1, 2021, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of PAI Midco, Inc., which directly or indirectly owns 100% of the ownership interests in four additional entities (collectively, "PAI"), for approximately $216 million. PAI was the largest privately-held provider of ATM services in the U.S. and generated approximately $94 million in revenues in 2020.
We estimated fair values for the assets purchased, liabilities assumed and purchase consideration as of the date of the acquisition. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We finalized our purchase price accounting for PAI in the first quarter of 2022. There were no material changes in the first quarter of 2022 to the amounts previously disclosed.
G4S ("G4S") Acquisitions
On February 26, 2020, we announced that we agreed to acquire the majority of the cash management operations of U.K.-based G4S, with closings planned in multiple phases in 2020. In March 2020, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of G4S International Logistics Group Limited ("G4Si"), a company which directly or indirectly owns controlling interests in multiple businesses providing secure international transportation of valuables. From the second quarter of 2020 through the first quarter of 2021, we acquired cash management operations from G4S located in the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Romania, the Czech Republic, Malaysia, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines, Indonesia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Macau, Luxembourg and Kuwait. For the majority of these acquisitions, we acquired 100% of the ownership interests. In Malaysia, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines, Indonesia and Kuwait, we acquired ownership interests of less than 100%. We believe that we meet the accounting criteria for consolidating these subsidiaries. In the aggregate, the purchase consideration for the G4S acquisitions as of June 30, 2022 is $826 million. We have also paid G4S approximately $114 million for net intercompany receivables from the acquired subsidiaries. The G4S businesses acquired generated approximately $800 million in annual revenues in 2019.
There is contingent consideration related to the acquisition of the Malaysia operations. The consideration will be paid when minimum dividend distributions are received by Brink's relating to cash on the balance sheets of the Malaysia subsidiaries as of the acquisition date. We used a probability-weighted approach to estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration. The fair value of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date is the full $22 million that remains potentially payable as of June 30, 2022 as we believe it is unlikely that the contingent consideration payments will be reduced.
We estimated fair values for the assets purchased, liabilities assumed and purchase consideration as of the date of the acquisition. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We finalized our purchase price accounting in 2021 for the businesses we acquired in 2020. For the remaining businesses acquired from G4S in 2021, we finalized our purchase accounting in the first quarter of 2022. There were no material changes in the first quarter of 2022 to the amounts previously disclosed.
Touchpoint 21 Acquisition
In January 2022, PAI acquired net assets from Touchpoint 21 LLC, an ATM and cash management solutions company operating in Texas and Oklahoma. We have determined that this acquisition represents a business combination and we have recorded acquired assets and liabilities at estimated fair value. The purchase consideration is approximately $15 million.
Acquisition Costs
We have incurred $1.0 million in transaction costs related to business acquisitions in the first six months of 2022 (compared to $4.3 million in the first six months of 2021). These costs are classified in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as selling, general and administrative expenses.

Note 8 - Fair value of financial instruments
Investments in Marketable Securities
We have investments in mutual funds, equity securities and available for sale debt securities that are carried at fair value in the condensed financial statements. For these investments, fair value was based on quoted market prices, which we have categorized as a Level 1 valuation.
Fixed-Rate Debt
The fair value and carrying value of our material fixed-rate debt, excluding any unamortized debt issuance costs, are as follows:

$600 million senior unsecured notes | |||||||||||

Fair value | 366.8 | 414.8 |
Pricing inputs for nonpublic debt are often not observable. The fair value estimates of our senior notes reflect unobservable estimates and assumptions, which we have categorized as a Level 3 valuation. Our fair value estimates were based on the present value of future cash flows, discounted at rates for public debt at the measurement date. The rates for public debt were additionally adjusted for a factor which represented the change in the interest spreads between the inception rates and the public debt rates at the measurement date.
Forward and Swap Contracts
We have outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies. At June 30, 2022, the notional value of our short term outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $476 million, with average maturities of approximately one month. These foreign currency forward and swap contracts primarily offset exposures in the euro, the British pound, the Mexican peso, and the Chilean peso and are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded immediately in earnings.
At June 30, 2022, the fair value of our short term foreign currency contracts was a net asset of approximately $2.6 million, of which $5.9 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $3.3 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of these foreign currency contracts was a net asset of approximately $1.9 million, of which $3.4 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $1.5 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
At June 30, 2022, the fair value of our short term foreign currency contracts was a net asset of approximately $2.6 million, of which $5.9 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $3.3 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of these foreign currency contracts was a net asset of approximately $1.9 million, of which $3.4 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $1.5 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In the first quarter of 2019, we entered into a long term cross currency swap contract to hedge exposure in Brazilian real, which is designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedge are initially recorded in the gains (losses) on cash flow hedges component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We immediately reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings an amount to offset the remeasurement recognized in earnings associated with the respective intercompany loan. Additionally, we reclassify amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense amounts that are associated with the interest rate differential between a U.S. dollar denominated intercompany loan and a Brazilian real denominated intercompany loan.
At June 30, 2022, the notional value of this long term contract was $65 million with a weighted-average maturity of 1.0 years. At June 30, 2022, the fair value of the long term cross currency swap contract was a $18.1 million net asset, of which $5.3 million is included in prepaid expenses and other and $12.8 million is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of the long term cross currency swap contract was a $26.3 million net asset, of which a $5.8 million asset was included in prepaid expenses and other and a $20.5 million asset was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Amounts under this contract were recognized in other operating income (expense) to offset transaction gains or losses and in interest expense as follows:

In the first quarter of 2019, we entered into ten interest rate swaps that hedge cash flow risk associated with changes in variable interest rates and that are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedges are initially recorded in the gains (losses) on cash flow hedges component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We reclassify amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings in the same periods that the hedged debt affects earnings.
At June 30, 2022, the notional value of these contracts was $400 million with a remaining weighted-average maturity of 0.8 years. At June 30, 2022, the fair value of these interest rate swaps was a net asset of $3.7 million, of which $2.3 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $1.4 million was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of these interest rate swaps was a net liability of $13.9 million, of which $8.3 million was included in accrued liabilities and $5.6 million was included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In the first quarter of 2022, we entered into four forward-starting interest rate swaps that hedge cash flow risk associated with changes in variable interest rates and that are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedges are presently recorded in the gains (losses) on cash flow hedges component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The forward-starting interest rate swaps will become effective in July 2022 and have a maturity date in July 2030. The amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will begin to be released into earnings once the swaps become effective in July 2022.
At June 30, 2022, the notional value of these contracts was $200 million with a remaining weighted-average maturity of 0.1 years. At June 30, 2022, the fair value of these forward-starting interest rate swaps was a net asset of $10.5 million, which was included in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In July 2022, we amended the forward-starting interest rates swaps by removing an early termination clause and changing the maturity date to June 2027.
In the second quarter of 2021, we entered into ten cross currency swaps to hedge a portion of our net investments in certain of our subsidiaries with euro functional currencies. As net investment hedges for accounting purposes, we elected to use the spot method to assess effectiveness for these derivatives that are designated as net investment hedges. Accordingly, changes in fair value attributable to changes in the undiscounted spot rates are recorded in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will remain there until the hedged net investments are sold or substantially liquidated. We have elected to exclude the spot-forward difference from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are amortizing this amount separately on a straight-line basis over the term of these cross currency swaps.
At June 30, 2022, the notional value of these cross currency swap contracts was $400 million with a remaining weighted average maturity of 4.7 years. At June 30, 2022, the fair value of these cross currency swaps was a net asset of $52.1 million, of which $6.0 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $46.1 million was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of these cross currency swaps was a net asset of $28.5 million, of which $6.0 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $22.5 million was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
23
In July 2022, we terminated these cross currency swap contracts and received $67 million in cash for the fair value of the derivative assets at the settlement date. We subsequently entered into a total of nine cross currency swaps with a total notional of $400 million to hedge a portion of our net investment in certain of our subsidiaries with euro functional currencies. Swaps with a total notional of $215 million will terminate in May 2026 and swaps with a total notional of $185 million will terminate in April 2031. We have designated these swaps as net investment hedges for accounting purposes.
The effect of the interest rate swaps and the amortization of the spot-forward difference on the net investment hedges cross currency swaps is included in interest expense as follows:

Long-Term Debt
Senior Secured Credit Facility
In June 2022, we amended our senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent. After the amendment, the Senior Secured Credit Facility consisted of a $1 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and $1.4 billion of term loans (the "Term Loans").
All loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loans mature on June 23, 2027. Principal payments for the Term Loans are due quarterly in an amount equal to 0.625% of the initial loan amount for the first eight quarterly installment payments and 1.25% for subsequent payments with a final lump sum payment due on June 23, 2027. Interest rates for the Senior Secured Credit Facility are based on SOFR plus a margin or an alternate base rate plus a margin. The Revolving Credit Facility allows us to borrow money or issue letters of credit (or otherwise satisfy credit needs) on a revolving basis over the term of the facility. As of June 30, 2022, $510 million was available under the Revolving Credit Facility. The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, including a first-priority lien on equity interests of certain of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries also guarantee the obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
The margin on both SOFR and alternate base rate borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is based on the Company’s total net debt leverage ratio. The margin on SOFR borrowings, which can range from 1.25% to 1.75%, was 1.50% at June 30, 2022. The margin on alternate base rate borrowings, which can range from 0.25% to 0.75%, was 0.50% as of June 30, 2022. We also pay an annual commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The commitment fee, which can range from 0.15% to 0.28%, was 0.23% as of June 30, 2022.
Senior Unsecured Notes
In June 2020, we issued at par five-year senior unsecured notes (the "2020 Senior Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $400 million. The 2020 Senior Notes will mature on July 15, 2025 and bear an annual interest rate of 5.5%. The 2020 Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future U.S. subsidiaries, which are also guarantors under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
In October 2017, we issued at par ten-year senior unsecured notes (the "2017 Senior Notes" and together with the 2020 Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $600 million. The 2017 Senior Notes will mature on October 15, 2027 and bear an annual interest rate of 4.625%. The 2017 Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future U.S. subsidiaries, which are also guarantors under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
25
The Senior Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The notes were offered in the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exception from registration set forth in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The aggregate proceeds from the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the 2017 Senior Notes were used in part to repay certain prior indebtedness and certain fees and expenses related to the closing of certain transactions. Borrowings were used for working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. The aggregate proceeds from the 2020 Senior Notes were used in part to repay certain existing indebtedness incurred in connection with the G4S acquisition, finance the remaining G4S acquisition transactions and pay certain fees and expenses related to the transactions. Remaining net proceeds from the 2020 Senior Notes were used for working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.
Letter of Credit Facilities and Bank Guarantee Facilities
We have three committed letter of credit facilities totaling $71 million, of which approximately $31 million was available at June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022, we had undrawn letters of credit and guarantees of $40 million issued under these facilities. The $15 million facility expires in April 2025, the $32 million facility expires in December 2022 and the $24 million facility expires in May 2027.
We have three uncommitted letter of credit facilities totaling $65 million, of which approximately $42 million was available at June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022, we had undrawn letters of credit and guarantees of $23 million issued under these facilities. The $40 million facility expires in December 2022. The $15 million facility and the $10 million facility have no expiration dates
The Senior Secured Credit Facility is also available for issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Unsecured Notes, the Letter of Credit Facilities and Bank Guarantee Facilities contain various financial and other covenants. The financial covenants, among other things, limit our ability to provide liens, restrict fundamental changes, limit transactions with affiliates and unrestricted subsidiaries, restrict changes to our fiscal year and to organizational documents, limit asset dispositions, limit the use of proceeds from asset sales, limit sale and leaseback transactions, limit investments, limit the ability to incur debt, restrict certain payments to shareholders, limit negative pledges, limit the ability to change the nature of our business, provide for a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio and provide for minimum coverage of interest costs. If we were not to comply with the terms of our various financing 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 financing agreements. We were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2022.

Note 10 - Credit losses
We are exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of our Core and High-Value services to customers with operations in the U.S. as well as customers in more than 100 countries outside the U.S. We typically invoice our customers on a monthly basis and payment terms are generally between 30 and 60 days.
We assess currently expected credit losses in our financial assets on a pool basis by aggregating financial assets with similar risk characteristics. We have pooled financial assets by geographic location because of the similarities within each location such as customers, payment terms, and services offered. Loss experience is monitored for each pool and we determine historical loss rates for each pool. These historical loss rates are the main assumption used in estimating expected credit losses over the life of the financial assets. We also considered current and expected economic conditions, particularly the effects of the pandemic, in determining an appropriate allowance.
We monitor the aging of accounts receivables by country and write off any accounts that are deemed uncollectible. We also monitor any significant economic events to identify any current or expected trends and risks within a pool that could impact the collectability of outstanding accounts receivables balances that were not contemplated or relevant during a previous period.
In the first quarter of 2022, as many of our regions begin to recover from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we re-assessed earlier assumptions and estimates, and we further refined our methodology of estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts. Our updated method now also includes an estimated allowance for accounts receivables significantly past due in order to adjust for at-risk receivables not captured in our previous method. As part of the analysis under the updated estimation methodology, we noted an increase in accounts receivable significantly past due, particularly in the U.S., and we recorded an additional allowance of $16.7 million. In the second quarter of 2022, the additional allowance was reduced by $0.4 million as a result of collections.
The following table is a rollforward of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the six month period ended June 30, 2022.

Note 11 - Share-based compensation plans
We have share-based compensation plans to attract and retain employees and nonemployee directors and to more closely align their interests with those of our shareholders.
We have outstanding share-based awards granted to employees under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan ("2013 Plan") and the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan"). These plans 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 and the 2017 Plan also permit cash awards to eligible employees. The 2017 Plan became effective May 2017. No further grants of awards will be made under the 2013 Plan, although awards previously granted remain outstanding.
We also have outstanding deferred stock units granted to directors under the 2017 Plan. Share-based awards were previously granted to directors and remain outstanding under the Non-Employee Director's Equity Plan and the Directors’ Stock Accumulation Plan, which has expired.
Outstanding awards at June 30, 2022 include performance share units, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance-based stock options, time-based stock options and certain awards that will be settled in cash.
Compensation Expense
Compensation expense is measured using the fair-value-based method. Prior to 2020, for employee and director awards considered equity grants, compensation expense is recognized from the award or grant date to the earlier of the retirement-eligible date or the vesting date. In 2020, the retirement eligibility provisions for many employee awards were changed on a go-forward basis to require a six month notification period prior to actual retirement. For the 2020 awards, we recognized expense from the grant date to six months after the participant's retirement eligible date. In 2021, the retirement eligibility provisions were changed to require a minimum of a one year service period in order to meet the retirement eligible conditions. For the 2021 and 2022 awards, we recognize expense from the grant date to the earlier of the retirement-eligible date (provided it is not less than one year from the grant date) or the vesting date.
For awards considered liability awards, compensation cost is based on the change in the fair value of the instrument for each reporting period and the percentage of the requisite service that has been rendered.
Compensation expenses are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Compensation expenses for the share-based awards were as follows:

Performance-Based Stock Options
In 2018, 2017 and 2016, we granted performance-based stock options that have a service condition as well as a market condition. In addition, some of the awards granted in 2016 contained a non-financial performance condition. We measured the fair value of these performance-based options at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
The following table summarizes performance-based stock option activity during the first six months of 2022:

Performance Share Units ("PSUs”)
We granted Internal Metric PSUs ("IM PSUs") and Relative Total Shareholder Return PSUs ("TSR PSUs").
IM PSUs contain a performance condition as well as a service condition. We measure the fair value of these PSUs based on the price of Brink’s stock at the grant date, adjusted for a discount for dividends not received or accrued during the vesting period. For the IM PSUs granted in 2021, the performance period is from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022. For IM PSUs granted in 2022, the performance period is from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024.
TSR PSUs contain a market condition as well as a service condition. We measure the fair value of PSUs containing a market condition at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. For the TSR PSUs granted in 2020, the service period is from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022. For the TSR PSUs granted in 2021, the service period is from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. For the TSR PSUs granted in 2022, the service period is from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024.

(a)Although the service condition had been met, 23.6 thousand TSR PSUs granted in 2019 expired in accordance with the market condition terms of the underlying award agreement. These units had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $105.57 per share.
(b)The vested PSUs presented are based on the target amount of the award. In accordance with the terms of the underlying award agreements, the actual shares earned and distributed for the performance period ended December 31, 2021 were 144.4 thousand, compared to target shares of 142.9 thousand.
Deferred Stock Units ("DSUs")
We granted DSUs to our nonemployee directors. We measure the fair value of DSUs at the grant date, based on the price of Brink's stock, and, if applicable, adjusted for a discount for dividends not received or accrued during the vesting period.
DSUs granted after 2014 will be paid out in shares of Brink's stock approximately one year after the grant date, provided that the director has not elected to defer the distribution of shares until a later date. DSUs granted prior to 2015, in general, will be paid out in shares of stock following separation from service.

Note 12 - Capital Stock
Common Stock
At June 30, 2022, we had 100 million shares of common stock authorized and 47.2 million shares issued and outstanding.
Dividends
We paid regular quarterly dividends on our common stock during the last three years. On May 5, 2022, the Board declared a regular quarterly dividend of 20 cents per share payable on June 1, 2022 to shareholders of record on May 16, 2022. 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.
Preferred Stock
At June 30, 2022, we had the authority to issue up to 2.0 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $10 per share.
Share Repurchase Program
On October 27, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a $250 million share repurchase program that expires on December 31, 2023 (the "2021 Repurchase Program"). This authorization replaces our previous $250 million repurchase program, authorized by the Board in February 2020 (the "2020 Repurchase Program"), which expired on December 31, 2021, with no amount remaining available.
Under the 2021 Repurchase Program, we are not obligated to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares. The timing and volume of share repurchases may be executed at the discretion of management on an opportunistic basis, or pursuant to trading plans or other arrangements. Share repurchases under this program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise.
At June 30, 2022, $250 million remained available under the 2021 Repurchase Program.
Under the 2020 Repurchase Program, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase arrangement ("ASR") in the fourth quarter of 2021 and repurchased 1,742,160 shares in November 2021 in exchange for a $150 million upfront payment to a financial institution. Under this ASR, the purchase period had a scheduled termination date of June 1, 2022. In April 2022, the financial institution elected to early terminate this ASR and an additional 546,993 shares were repurchased. In total, 2,289,153 shares were repurchased under this ASR at an average repurchase price of $65.53.

(a)We have deferred compensation plans for directors and certain of our employees. Some 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 common stock units credited to employees and directors under the deferred compensation plans. Additionally, nonvested units containing only a service requirement are also included in the computation of basic weighted-average shares when the requisite service period has been completed. Accordingly, included in basic shares are 0.3 million in the three months and 0.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 0.3 million in the three months and 0.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021.
(b)Under the November 2021 ASR, based on our stock prices from November 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022, we would have received additional shares under the ASR if the
settlement date had been March 31, 2022. Because the ASR settlement date did not occur until April 2022 and because any anticipated receipt of additional shares of our common stock would have been antidilutive, no amounts were included in the computation of diluted EPS.The antidilutive impact from the first quarter of 2022 will continue to have year-to-date antidilutive impact for the remainder of 2022.

Argentina Currency Conversions
We have elected in the past and could continue in the future to repatriate cash from Brink's Argentina using different means to convert Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars. Conversions under these other market mechanisms generally settle at rates that are less favorable than the rates at which we remeasure the financial statements of Brink’s Argentina. The net cash flows from these transactions are treated as operating cash flows as the financial instruments are purchased specifically for resale and are generally sold within a short period of time from the date of purchase. We did not have any such conversions in the first six months of 2022 or 2021.
Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities
We acquired $39.6 million in armored vehicles and other equipment under financing lease arrangements in the first six months of 2022 compared to $44.4 million in armored vehicles and other equipment acquired under financing lease arrangements in the first six months of 2021.
Loans Held for Investment
In France, as part of an ATM managed services contract for a large customer, we purchase the ATMs at the beginning of the contract. However, since these ATMs are specifically for the benefit of the customer and transfer back to the customer at the end of the contract, this is recorded as a financing transaction. As a result, the loan to the customer, net of payments received, is treated as investing cash flows.
Restricted Cash (Cash Supply Chain Services)
In France, we offer services to certain of our customers where we manage some or all of their cash supply chains. Providing this service requires our French subsidiary to take temporary title to the cash received from the management of our customers' cash supply chains until the cash is returned to the customers. The cash for which we have temporary title is restricted and cannot be used for any other purpose other than to service our customers who participate in this service offering. Prior to the third quarter of 2020, as part of this service offering, we entered into lending arrangements with some of our customers. Cash borrowed under these lending arrangements was used in the process of managing these customers' cash supply chains, was restricted and could not be used for any other purpose other than to service these customers.
In Malaysia, we offer ATM replenishment services to certain of our financial institution customers. Providing this service requires our Malaysia subsidiary to take temporary title to the cash received in advance of ATM replenishment. The cash for which we have temporary title is restricted and cannot be used for any other purpose other than to service our customers who participate in this service offering.
In accordance with a revolving credit facility, we are required to maintain a restricted cash reserve of $22.5 million ($15.0 million at December 31, 2021) and, due to this contractual restriction, we have classified these amounts as restricted cash.
At June 30, 2022, we held $358.6 million of restricted cash ($184.2 million represented restricted cash held for customers and $148.6 million represented accrued liabilities). At December 31, 2021, we held $376.4 million of restricted cash ($215.5 million represented restricted cash held for customers and $139.9 million represented accrued liabilities).

Note 14 - Contingent matters
In August 2020, the Company received a subpoena issued in connection with an investigation being conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”). The Company is fully cooperating with the investigation and responding to requests from the DOJ for documents and other information, primarily related to cross-border shipments of cash and things of value and anti-money laundering compliance. Given that the investigation is still ongoing and that no civil or criminal claims have been brought to date, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigation, the timing of the ultimate resolution of the matter, or reasonably estimate the possible range of loss, if any, that may result from this matter. Accordingly, no accruals have been made with respect to this matter.
At the end of the fourth quarter of 2018, we became aware of an investigation initiated by the Chilean Fiscalía Nacional Económica (the Chilean antitrust agency) (“FNE”) related to potential anti-competitive practices among competitors in the cash logistics industry in Chile. In October 2021, the FNE filed a complaint before the Chilean antitrust court alleging that Brink’s Chile (as well as competitor companies) engaged in collusion in 2017 and 2018 and requested that the court approve a fine of $30.5 million. The Company has not had access to the FNE's investigative file nor to its evidence supporting the allegations. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the FNE's complaint. Based on available information to date, the Company recorded a charge of $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2021 in connection with this matter. In the first six months of 2022, we recognized an additional $0.8 million adjustment to our estimated loss as a result of a change in currency rates.
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 it is reasonably possible the ultimate disposition of any of the lawsuits currently pending against the Company could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.
Note 15 - Reorganization and Restructuring
Other Restructurings
Management periodically implements restructuring actions in targeted sections of our business. As a result of these actions, we recognized net costs of $21.7 million in the first six months of 2021, primarily severance costs. We recognized $14.4 million net costs in the first six months of 2022, primarily severance costs. The majority of the costs from 2022 restructuring plans resulted from the exit of a line of business in a specific geography with most of the remaining costs due to management initiatives to address the COVID-19 pandemic. For the restructuring actions that have not yet been completed, we expect to incur additional costs between $8 million and $10 million in future periods.
The following table summarizes the changes in the accrued liability for costs incurred, payments and utilization, and foreign currency exchange effects of other restructurings:

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. We completed a leadership change with our President and Chief Executive Officer in the second quarter of 2022. Our CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources to each operating segment based on an operating profit or loss measure, excluding income and expenses not allocated to segments.
We manage our business in following four segments:
•North America – operations in the U.S. and Canada, including the Brink’s Global Services ("BGS") line of business,
•Latin America – operations in Latin American countries where we have an ownership interest, including the BGS line of business. This segment includes operations in Mexico, which was previously reported in the North America segment,
•Europe – total operations in European countries that primarily provide services outside of the BGS line of business, and
•Rest of World – operations in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. This segment also includes total operations in European countries that primarily provide BGS services and BGS activity in Latin American countries where we do not have an ownership interest.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COVID-19 Pandemic Impact
We continue to monitor developments related to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including with respect to new variants of the COVID-19 virus, which has created global volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption for Brink's, our customers and vendors, and the markets in which we do business. We have taken and continue to take steps to mitigate the potential risks to our employees, our customers and our business around the world. We are focused on three priorities:
•Protecting our people and providing essential services to our customers;
•Preserving cash and optimizing profitability; and
•Positioning Brink’s to be stronger on the other side of the crisis.
The COVID-19 pandemic began to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2020. During 2020, 2021 and continuing into 2022, health conditions and economic activity in the countries in which we operate have been significantly impacted by government, customer and consumer actions in response to the pandemic. These actions have led to reduced customer volumes, changes to our operating procedures, labor shortages and increases to our costs to provide services. We have taken and continue to take actions to adjust the way we operate and reduce our costs through restructuring activities and operational changes to address these impacts and align to future anticipated revenue levels.
We are continually assessing the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic, and the actions taken in response to it, will have on our employees, businesses and segments, customers and vendors and the industries that we serve. The full impact depends on many factors that are uncertain or not yet identifiable. We expect these factors will continue to impact our financial condition and our results of operations for a duration that is currently unknown.
In addition, we cannot predict whether future developments associated with the COVID-19 pandemic will have a materially adverse effect on our long-term liquidity position. We believe we continue to have sufficient liquidity to meet our current obligations. The COVID-19 pandemic continues, however, to be an evolving situation, and we cannot predict the extent or duration of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of it on the global, national or local economy, including the impacts on our ability to access capital, or its effects on our business, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
We will continue to monitor developments affecting our employees, customers and operations and take additional steps to address the business impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as necessary.

Consolidated Review
GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We provide an analysis of our operations below on both a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and non-GAAP basis. The purpose of the non-GAAP information is to report our operating profit, income from continuing operations and earnings per share without certain income and expense items that do not reflect the regular earnings of our operations. 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 they 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. The non-GAAP adjustments used to reconcile our GAAP results are described on pages 43–44 and are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures on pages 49–51.
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 and changes in currency exchange rates. See definitions on page 39.

Analysis of Consolidated Results: Second Quarter 2022 versus Second Quarter 2021
Consolidated Revenues Revenues increased $85.1 million due to organic increases in Latin America ($44.0 million), North America ($43.5 million), Europe ($24.6 million), and Rest of World ($22.5 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($4.4 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($53.9 million). The unfavorable currency impact was driven primarily by the euro and the Argentine peso. Revenues increased 13% on an organic basis primarily due to higher volume and inflation-based price increases. See above for our definition of “organic growth.”
Consolidated Costs and Expenses Cost of revenues increased 6% to $867.5 million primarily due to higher labor and other operational costs driven by volume recovery and wage increases in the U.S., partially offset by the impact of currency exchange rates, lower costs related to restructuring actions, and the impact of acquisitions, including integration costs. Selling, general and administrative costs increased 8% to $167.5 million primarily due to organic increases in labor and other administrative costs, partially offset by the impact of currency exchange rates, lower costs related to restructuring actions, and due to the impact of acquisitions, including integration costs.
Consolidated Operating Profit Operating profit increased $23.2 million due mainly to:

Analysis of Segment Results: Second Quarter 2022 versus Second Quarter 2021
North America
Revenues increased 13% ($44.8 million) primarily due to a 12% organic increase ($43.5 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($2.6 million). Organic revenue increased primarily due to price increases in the U.S. Operating profit decreased $7.0 million, primarily due to a 18% organic decrease ($7.5 million), partially offset by the favorable impact of acquisitions ($0.5 million). The organic decrease resulted primarily from several prior year one-time adjustments related to various insurance-related costs and bad-debt reversals in the U.S., and lower government COVID-19 assistance in Canada. The decrease was partially offset by price increases which outpaced the impact of labor and other cost increases.
Latin America
Revenues increased 12% ($33.5 million) primarily due to a 16% organic increase ($44.0 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($1.0 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($11.5 million), primarily from the Argentine peso and partially offset by the Brazilian real. The organic increase was primarily driven by inflation-based price increases in Argentina, as well as organic growth in Mexico from price increases and volume growth versus prior year period results which were more impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating profit was up 13% ($7.6 million) primarily due to a 21% organic increase ($12.2 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($0.1 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($4.7 million). The organic profit increase was driven by volume growth in Argentina and Mexico as well as the benefit of labor and other operational cost saving actions, which includes those taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
39
Europe
Revenues decreased 2% ($4.1 million) due to the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($29.5 million), partially offset by a 11% organic increase ($24.6 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($0.8 million). The unfavorable currency impact was driven by the euro. The organic increase was primarily due to organic volume growth in France, including the impact of the partial implementation of an ATM managed services contract for a large customer, and across the segment. Operating profit increased $3.7 million to $22.4 million primarily due to a 34% organic increase ($6.4 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($0.2 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($2.9 million). The organic increase was primarily driven by volume growth and the impact of labor and other operational cost saving actions in France and throughout the segment, including those taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This growth was partially offset by lower government COVID-19 assistance in several countries.
Rest of World
Revenues increased 6% ($10.9 million) due to an 12% organic increase ($22.5 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($11.6 million). The organic increase was primarily due to global services growth. The unfavorable currency impact was driven by most currencies throughout the segment. Operating profit increased $7.6 million due to a 31% organic increase ($9.9 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($2.3 million). The organic increase was primarily due to global services growth and the impact of labor and other operational cost saving actions, including those taken in response to COVID-19.

Analysis of Segment Results: First Half 2022 versus First Half 2021
North America
Revenues increased 14% ($96.5 million) primarily due to a 9% organic increase ($62.0 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($35.8 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($1.3 million) from the Canadian dollar. Organic revenue increased primarily due to price increases in the U.S. Operating profit decreased $14.9 million, primarily due to a 29% organic decrease ($21.2 million) partially offset by the favorable impact of acquisitions ($6.3 million). The organic decrease resulted primarily from several prior year one-time adjustments related to various insurance-related costs and bad-debt reversals in the U.S., and lower government COVID-19 assistance in Canada. The decrease was partially offset by price increases which outpaced the impact of labor and other cost increases.
The change in bad debt expense was driven by a first quarter of 2021 change to the allowance for doubtful accounts calculation method for the segment’s U.S. business, which resulted in a $12.3 million operating profit increase, and which was offset by a $12.3 million increase to Corporate expense, resulting in no impact to consolidated operating profit for the first quarter. Historically, all Brink’s business units followed an internal Company policy for determining an allowance for doubtful accounts and the allowances were then reconciled to the required U.S. GAAP estimated consolidated allowance, with any differences reported as part of Corporate expense. Other than for the U.S. business, the reconciling differences were not significant. We changed the U.S. calculation of the allowance in order to more closely align it with the U.S. GAAP consolidated calculation and to minimize reconciling differences, resulting in the offsetting $12.3 million adjustments to align the methods.
A change in estimation methodology resulted in a $16.7 million incremental bad debt expense recorded in the first quarter of 2022 that was associated with U.S. aged receivables. In the second quarter of 2022, the additional allowance was reduced by $0.4 million as a result of collections. However, as discussed in Note 1 this amount was recorded as part of "Other items not allocated to segments" and is not included in the North America segment results.
Latin America
Revenues increased 10% ($55.1 million) primarily due to a 14% organic increase ($76.6 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($2.1 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($23.6 million), primarily from the Argentine peso and partially offset by the Brazilian real. The organic increase was driven by inflation-based price increases in Argentina, as well as organic growth in Mexico from price increases and volume growth versus prior year period results which were more impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating profit was up 10% ($11.9 million) primarily due to a 18% organic increase ($20.7 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($0.2 million), partially offset by unfavorable currency ($9.0 million). The organic increase was driven by volume growth in Argentina and Mexico as well as the benefit of labor and other operational cost saving actions, which includes those taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Europe
Revenues increased 1% ($3.6 million) due to a 11% organic increase ($47.1 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($2.6 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($46.1 million). The organic increase was primarily due to organic growth in France, including the impact of the partial implementation of an ATM managed services contract for a large customer, and across the segment. The unfavorable currency impact was driven by the euro. Operating profit increased $7.9 million primarily due to an organic increase ($11.5 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($0.4 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($4.0 million). The organic increase was primarily driven by volume growth and the impact of labor and other operational cost saving actions in France and throughout the segment, including those taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This growth was partially offset by lower government COVID-19 assistance in several countries.
Rest of World
Revenues increased 7% ($26.2 million) due to a 10% organic increase ($36.2 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($6.3 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($16.3 million). The organic increase was primarily due to global services growth. The currency impact was driven by most currencies throughout the segment. Operating profit increased $10.3 million primarily due to a 20% organic increase ($12.4 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($0.8 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($2.9 million), driven by most currencies throughout the segment. The organic increase was primarily due to global services growth and the impact of labor and other operational cost saving actions, including those taken in response to COVID-19.

Corporate expenses include corporate headquarters costs, regional management costs, currency transaction gains and losses, costs related to global initiatives and adjustments to reconcile segment accounting policies to U.S. GAAP.
Corporate expenses for the first six months of 2022 decreased $20.2 million versus the prior year period primarily driven by lower bad debt expense ($13.9 million) included in Corporate expense as part of the reconciliation of segment accounting policies to U.S. GAAP (see further discussion of bad debt expense in the next paragraph below). In addition, there were higher foreign currency transaction gains in the current year period ($5.8 million) and an increase in incentive compensation, including share-based and bonus accruals ($6.8 million). These increased costs were offset by decreased expenses related to developing new service offerings ($5.9 million).
Prior to the first quarter of 2021, all Brink’s business units followed an internal accounting policy for determining an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowances were then reconciled to the required U.S. GAAP estimated consolidated allowance, with any differences reported as part of Corporate expense. In the first six months of 2021, the Corporate reconciling adjustment was an increase of Corporate expense of $12.7 million. The 2021 adjustment was primarily from a change in the first quarter of 2021 to the allowance calculation method of the North America segment’s U.S. business. This change resulted in a $12.3 million increase to Corporate expense offset by a $12.3 million operating profit increase in the North America segment, resulting in no impact to consolidated operating profit for the first quarter of 2021. We changed the U.S. calculation of the allowance in order to more closely align it with the U.S. GAAP consolidated calculation and to minimize reconciling differences. Other than for the U.S. business, the reconciling differences were not significant. The bad debt expense increase excludes the impact of the internal loss in our U.S. global services operations described on the next page.

Reorganization and Restructuring
Other Restructurings
Management periodically implements restructuring actions in targeted sections of our business. As a result of these actions, we recognized net costs of $21.7 million in the first six months of 2021, primarily severance costs. We recognized $14.4 million net costs in the first six months of 2022, primarily severance costs. The majority of the costs from 2022 restructuring plans result from the exit of a line of business in a specific geography with most of the remaining costs due to management initiatives to address the COVID-19 pandemic. When completed, the current restructuring actions are expected to reduce our workforce by 1,400 to 1,600 positions and result in annualized cost savings of $35 million to $40 million. For the restructuring actions that have not yet been completed, we expect to incur additional costs between $8 million and $10 million in future periods. These estimates are expected to be updated as management targets additional sections of our business.

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 segment and non-GAAP results. These items are described below:
2022 Acquisitions and Dispositions
•Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $25.2 million in the first six months of 2022.
•We incurred $2.1 million in integration costs, primarily related to PAI and G4S, in the first six months of 2022.
•Transaction costs related to business acquisitions were $1.0 million in the first six months of 2022.
•Restructuring costs related to acquisitions were $0.1 million in the first six months of 2022.
•Compensation expense related to the retention of key PAI employees was $1.8 million in the first six months of 2022.
2021 Acquisitions and Dispositions
•Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $22.6 million in the first six months of 2021.
•We incurred $6.9 million in integration costs, primarily related to G4S, in the first six months of 2021.
•Transaction costs related to business acquisitions were $4.3 million in the first six months of 2021.
•Restructuring costs related to acquisitions were $4.6 million in the first six months of 2021.
•Compensation expense related to the retention of key PAI employees was $0.6 million in the first six months of 2021.
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 first six months of 2022, we recognized $15.1 million in pretax charges related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $13.4 million. In the first six months of 2021, we recognized $6.5 million in pretax charges related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $5.0 million. These amounts are excluded from segment and non-GAAP results.
Change in allowance estimate In the first quarter of 2022, we refined our global methodology of estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts. Our previous method to estimate currently expected credit losses in receivables (the allowance) was weighted significantly to a review of historical loss rates and specific identification of higher risk customer accounts. It also considered current and expected economic conditions, particularly the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, in determining an appropriate allowance. As many of our regions begin to recover from the pandemic, we have re-assessed those earlier assumptions and estimates. Our updated method now also includes an estimated allowance for accounts receivable significantly past due in order to adjust for at-risk receivables not captured in our previous method. As part of the analysis under the updated estimation methodology, we noted an increase in accounts receivable significantly past due, particularly in the U.S., and we recorded an additional allowance of $16.7 million. In the second quarter of 2022, the additional allowance was reduced by $0.4 million as a result of collections. Due to the fact that management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance, we have excluded this charge from segment and non-GAAP results.
Chile antitrust matter In the first six months of 2022, we recognized an additional $0.8 million adjustment to our estimated loss related to a potential fine as a result of a change in currency rates. Due to the special nature of this matter, this charge has not been allocated to segment results and is excluded from non-GAAP results. See Note 14 for details.
Internal loss A former non-management employee in our U.S. global services operations embezzled funds from Brink's in prior years. In an effort to cover up the embezzlement, the former employee intentionally misstated the underlying accounts receivable subledger data. As a result, we estimated an increase to bad debt expense of $26.7 million through the end of 2020. In the first six months of 2021, we recognized a decrease in bad debt expense of $2.7 million, primarily related to collection of these receivables. We also recognized $0.9 million of legal charges in the first six months of 2021 as we attempted to collect additional insurance recoveries related to these receivable losses. In the first six months of 2022, we did not incur any charges related to the internal loss. Due to the unusual nature of this internal loss and the related errors in the subledger data, along with the fact that management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance, we have excluded these net charges from segment and non-GAAP results.

Foreign Operations
We currently serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 53 countries where we operate subsidiaries.
We are subject to risks customarily associated with doing business in foreign countries, including labor and economic conditions, the imposition of international sanctions, including by the U.S. government, 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. In April 2019, the U.S. government sanctioned the Venezuela central bank and, as a result, the Company has ceased support of the Venezuela business.
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. Recent strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to certain currencies has reduced some of our reported U.S. dollar revenues and operating profit and may continue in 2022.
At June 30, 2022, Argentina's economy remains highly inflationary for accounting purposes. At June 30, 2022, we had net monetary assets denominated in Argentine pesos of $75.8 million (including cash of $68.0 million) and net nonmonetary assets of $152.6 million (including $99.8 million of goodwill, $7.7 million in equity securities denominated in Argentine pesos and $3.7 million in debt securities denominated in Argentine pesos).
During September 2019, the Argentine government announced currency controls on both companies and individuals. Under the exchange procedures implemented by the central bank, approval is required for many transactions, including dividend repatriation abroad.
We have previously elected to use other market mechanisms to convert Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars. Conversions under these other market mechanisms generally settle at rates that are less favorable than the rates at which we remeasure the financial statements of Brink’s Argentina. We did not have any such conversion losses in the six months ended June 30, 2022 or June 30, 2021.
Although the Argentine government has implemented currency controls, Brink’s management continues to provide guidance and strategic oversight, including budgeting and forecasting for Brink’s Argentina. We continue to control our Argentina business for purposes of consolidation of our financial statements and continue to monitor the situation in Argentina.
Changes in exchange rates may also affect transactions that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. From time to time, we use short term foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies. At June 30, 2022, the notional value of our short term outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $476 million with average contract maturities of approximately one month. These short term foreign currency forward and swap contracts primarily offset exposures in the euro, the British pound, the Mexican peso, and the Chilean peso. Additionally, these short term contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded immediately in earnings. At June 30, 2022, the fair value of our short term foreign currency contracts was a net asset of approximately $2.6 million, of which $5.9 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $3.3 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of these foreign currency contracts was a net asset of approximately $1.9 million, of which $3.4 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $1.5 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Amounts under these contracts were recognized in other operating income (expense) and in interest and other nonoperating income and expense as follows:

We also have a long term cross currency swap contract to hedge exposure in Brazilian real, which is designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedge are initially recorded in the gains (losses) on cash flow hedges component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We immediately reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings an amount to offset the remeasurement recognized in earnings associated with the respective intercompany loan. Additionally, we reclassify amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense amounts that are associated with the interest rate differential between a U.S. dollar denominated intercompany loan and a Brazilian real denominated intercompany loan.
At June 30, 2022, the notional value of this long term contract was $65 million with a weighted-average maturity of approximately 1.0 years. At June 30, 2022, the fair value of the long term cross currency swap contract was a $18.1 million net asset, of which $5.3 million is included in prepaid expenses and other and $12.8 million is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of the long term cross currency swap contract was a $26.3 million net asset, of which a $5.8 million asset is included in prepaid expenses and other and a $20.5 million asset is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In the second quarter of 2021, we entered into ten cross currency swaps to hedge a portion of our net investments in certain of our subsidiaries with euro functional currencies. As net investment hedges for accounting purposes, we elected to use the spot method to assess effectiveness for these derivatives that are designated as net investment hedges. Accordingly, changes in fair value attributable to changes in the undiscounted spot rates are recorded in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will remain there until the hedged net investments are sold or substantially liquidated. We have elected to exclude the spot-forward difference from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are amortizing this amount separately on a straight-line basis over the term of these cross currency swaps.
At June 30, 2022, the notional value of these cross currency swap contracts was $400 million with a remaining weighted average maturity of 4.7 years. At June 30, 2022, the fair value of these currency swaps was a net asset of $52.1 million, of which $6.0 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $46.1 million was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In July 2022, we terminated these cross currency swap contracts and received $67 million in cash as settlement. We subsequently entered into a total of nine cross currency swaps with a total notional of $400 million to hedge a portion of our net investment in certain of our subsidiaries with euro functional currencies. Swaps with a total notional of $185 million will terminate in April 2031 and swaps with a total notional of $215 million will terminate in May 2026. We have designated these swaps as net investment hedges for accounting purposes.
The effect of the amortization of the spot-forward difference on the net investment hedges cross currency swaps is included in interest expense as follows:

Valuation Allowance-Tax Credits
In the first quarter of 2022, we concluded that it is more likely than not that a substantial amount of the U.S. deferred tax assets for U.S. foreign tax credit and general business credit carryforwards that previously required a valuation allowance would be realized. Our conclusion was based upon an analysis of the final foreign tax credit regulations that the U.S. Treasury published in the Federal Register on January 4, 2022. Based upon this analysis, we determined a significant amount of the post-2021 foreign withholding taxes will now be ineligible for U.S. foreign income tax credit treatment and therefore we are forecasting that Brink’s U.S. operations will no longer annually be generating new foreign tax credits in excess of its annual foreign tax credit utilization limit. As a result, we expect to be able to utilize a substantial amount of our foreign tax credit and general business tax credit carryforwards to offset future tax prior to their expiration. Accordingly, as a result of the law change, we reversed a substantial amount of our valuation allowance on our net U.S. deferred tax assets, resulting in a $55.0 million benefit in our provision for income taxes for the period ended June 30, 2022. Due to the novel approach that the final regulations impose, it is possible that further developments in foreign country or U.S. tax laws could occur and may require us to change our assessment of the ultimate amounts we consider more-likely-than-not to be realized.
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective tax rate may fluctuate materially from these estimates due to changes in pre-tax earnings, permanent book-tax differences, changes in the expected amount and geographical mix of earnings, changes in current or deferred taxes due to legislative changes, changes in valuation allowances or accruals for contingencies, changes in distributions of share-based payments, changes in U.S. taxable income, and other factors.

Non-GAAP Results Reconciled to GAAP
Non-GAAP results described in this filing are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with 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 43–44, and are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures below.
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 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 they 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 operating performance as they result from events and circumstances that are not a part of our core business. Additionally, non-GAAP results are utilized as performance measures in certain management incentive compensation plans.
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. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.

(b)See “Other Items Not Allocated To Segments” on pages 43–44 for details. We do not consider these items to be reflective of our operating performance as they result from events and circumstances that are not a part of our core business.
(c)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 is estimated at 32.5% for 2022 and was 33.6% for 2021.
(d)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 and curtailment gains related to these non-U.S. plans and costs related to our frozen non-U.S. retirement plans are also excluded from non-GAAP results.
(e)In the first quarter of 2022, we released a portion of our valuation allowance on certain U.S. deferred tax assets primarily related to foreign tax credit carryforward attributes. The valuation allowance release was due to new foreign tax credit regulations published by the U.S. Treasury in January 2022.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $39.9 million in the first six months of 2022 as compared to the first six months of 2021. Cash used for investing activities decreased by $277.4 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021. We financed our liquidity needs in the first six months of 2022 with existing cash and cash flows from long-term debt.

(a)To adjust for 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.
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 this non-GAAP measure is to report financial information excluding cash flows from restricted cash held for customers, the impact of cash received and processed in certain of our secure cash management services operations and the impact of payments made to G4S for net intercompany receivables from the acquired subsidiaries. We believe this measure is helpful in assessing cash flows from operations, enables period-to-period comparability and is useful in predicting future operating cash flows. This non-GAAP measure 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 condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
GAAP
Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $39.9 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was attributed to working capital changes, higher amounts paid for income taxes (we had $70.5 million in cash payments for taxes in 2022 as compared to $38.9 million in 2021) and changes in customer obligations related to certain of our secure cash management services operations (certain customer obligations increased by $5.3 million in 2022 compared to an increase of $8.3 million in 2021), offset by restricted cash held for customers (restricted cash held for customers increased by $3.5 million in 2022 compared to a decrease of $36.3 million in 2021) and higher operating profit.
Non-GAAP
Non-GAAP cash flows from operating activities decreased by $79.3 million in the first six months of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was attributed to working capital changes and higher amounts paid for income taxes, offset by higher operating profit.

(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.
(b)Included within Net Debt is net cash from our Argentina operations of $68 million at June 30, 2022 and $54 million at December 31, 2021 (see Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of currency controls in Argentina).
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 condensed 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 June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
Net Debt increased by $165 million primarily to fund corporate purposes and other working capital needs.
Liquidity Needs
Our liquidity needs include not only the working capital requirements of our operations but also investments in our operations, business development activities, payments on outstanding debt, dividend payments and share repurchases.
Our liquidity needs are typically financed by cash from operations, short-term debt and the available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility (our debt facilities are described in more detail in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, including certain limitations and considerations related to the cash and borrowing capacity). As of June 30, 2022, $510 million was available under the Revolving Credit Facility. Based on our current cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and amounts available under our credit facilities, we believe that we will be able to meet our liquidity needs for the next 12 months.
Limitations on dividends from foreign subsidiaries. A significant portion of our operations are outside the U.S. which may make it difficult or costly to repatriate cash for use in the U.S. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for more information on the risks associated with having businesses outside the U.S.
Our conclusion that we will be able to fund our cash requirements for the next 12 months by using existing capital resources, cash on hand, and cash generated from operations does not take into account any potential material worsening of economic conditions as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of new variants of the COVID-19 virus, and material increases in inflation, that would adversely affect our business. The anticipated cash needs of our business could change significantly if we pursue and complete additional business acquisitions, if our business plans change, if events, including economic disruptions, arising from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic worsen, or if other economic conditions change, such as material increases in inflation, from those currently prevailing or from those now anticipated, such as higher inflation or if other unexpected circumstances arise that may have a material effect on the cash flow or profitability of our business, including material negative changes in the health and welfare of our employees or changes in the condition of our customers or suppliers, and the operating performance or financial results of our business. Any of these events or circumstances, including any new business opportunities, could involve significant additional funding needs in excess of the identified currently available sources and could require us to raise additional debt or equity funding to meet those needs. Our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, is subject to a variety of factors that we cannot predict with certainty, including:
•our future profitability;
•the quality of our accounts receivable;
•our relative levels of debt and equity;
•the volatility and overall condition of the capital markets; and
•the market prices of our securities.

Equity
On October 27, 2021, we announced that the Board authorized a $250 million share repurchase program that expires on December 31, 2023 (the "2021 Repurchase Program"). This authorization replaces our previous $250 million repurchase program, authorized by the Board in February 2020 (the "2020 Repurchase Program"), which expired on December 31, 2021, with no amount remaining available.
Under the 2021 Repurchase Program, we are not obligated to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares. The timing and volume of share repurchases may be executed at the discretion of management on an opportunistic basis, or pursuant to trading plans or other arrangements. Share repurchases under this program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise.
At June 30, 2022, $250 million remained available under the 2021 Repurchase Program.
Under the 2020 Repurchase Program, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase arrangement ("ASR") in the fourth quarter of 2021 and repurchased 1,742,160 shares in November 2021 in exchange for a $150 million upfront payment to a financial institution. Under this ASR, the purchase period had a scheduled termination date of June 1, 2022. In April 2022, the financial institution elected to early terminate this ASR and we repurchased an additional 546,993 shares. In total, 2,289,153 shares were repurchased under this ASR at an average repurchase price of $65.53.
U.S. Retirement Liabilities
Assumptions for U.S. Retirement Obligations
The amounts in the tables below are based on a variety of estimates, including actuarial assumptions as of the most recent measurement date. 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, 2021. The estimated amounts will change in the future to reflect payments made, investment returns, actuarial revaluations, and other changes in estimates. Actual amounts could differ materially from the estimated amounts and will be updated at December 31, 2022.
Our most significant actuarial 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

Primary U.S. Pension Plan
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. We did not make cash contributions to the primary U.S. pension plan in 2021 or the first six months of 2022. There are approximately 10,800 beneficiaries in the plan.
Based on our current assumptions, we do not expect to make contributions in the foreseeable future.
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 were approximately 2,700 beneficiaries in the UMWA plans as of December 31, 2021. The Company does not need to make additional contributions to these plans until 2032 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 were approximately 800 black lung beneficiaries as of December 31, 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 53 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 six months ended June 30, 2022.
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 our Executive 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 the 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.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
