RICHMOND, Va., May 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Brink’s Company (NYSE:BCO), the global leader in total cash management, route-based secure logistics and payment solutions, today announced results for the first quarter of 2020. Highlights include:

(In millions, except for per share amounts) First-Quarter 2020    
  GAAP   Change   Non-GAAP   Change   Constant Currency Change(b)
Revenue $ 873     (4%)   $ 873     (4%)   3%
Operating Profit $ 26     (55%)   $ 63     (26%)   (4%)
Operating Margin 3.0 %   (350 bps)   7.2 %   (220 bps)   (70 bps)
Net Income / Adjusted EBITDA(a) $ 2     (87%)   $ 101     (23%)   (8%)
EPS $ 0.03     (89%)   $ 0.36     (56%)   (33%)


  (a) The non-GAAP financial metric, adjusted EBITDA, is presented with its corresponding GAAP metric, net income attributable to Brink's.
  (b) Constant currency represents 2020 results at 2019 exchange rates.
     

Doug Pertz, president and chief executive officer, said:  “The COVID-19 pandemic has made these very trying and uncertain times for everyone, as the world unites against this health and economic crisis.  Given the uncertainties related to the pandemic, we are focused on three priorities-- protecting our employees and providing essential services to our customers, preserving cash and maximizing profits, and positioning Brink’s to emerge from this crisis stronger than it has ever been.

“The pandemic had a substantial impact on first-quarter results, first affecting our operations in Asia, and then in early March moving sequentially through Europe, North America and South America.  Results were also affected significantly by unfavorable currency translation, which also began to have a material impact in early March driven, we believe, by a temporary flight from risk in key developing countries such as Mexico and Brazil.

“As we address the challenges of the pandemic, our confidence in the future is supported by our strong balance sheet, ample liquidity, and the decisive actions our global team is taking to revamp our cost structure to align with an expected near-term revenue decline of approximately 25 percent.  In the second quarter, we expect to generate adjusted EBITDA of at least $45 million and positive operating cash flow for the year.  We believe the second quarter will be the low point for 2020 and, as additional cost actions take hold, we expect margin improvement in the third and fourth quarters.

“Given the uncertainty regarding the impact of the pandemic on our customers’ operations, which currently includes shutdowns in more than 50 countries, we don’t believe that it is possible to provide guidance within a meaningful range.  However, we expect to see revenue growth return as our customers-- most of which are large, stable and resilient businesses-- begin to resume operations, leading to an acceleration of earnings growth in the second half of the year.  Fortunately, we have very limited exposure to dine-in restaurants and other small businesses that have been significantly affected by this pandemic and high exposure to essential services, which comprise approximately 44 percent of our retail customer base in the U.S.  In addition to the substantial cost reduction actions we are taking, we are also reducing our planned cash capital expenditures by 50 percent to support achieving our target of positive free cash flow for the year.

“As we proactively address the issues related to this pandemic, we are continuing to complete the acquisition and integration of the G4S operations, which provide a new platform for accelerated growth.  We have already begun to achieve the cost synergies related to the operations that have been completed to date.   We are also moving quickly to introduce our new Strategy 2.0 tech-enabled cash management services that offer enhanced safety, ease-of-use and higher value-- attributes that we believe will be in even greater demand in the post-pandemic economy.

“Finally, I want to express my support and sympathy to those, both within and outside of Brink’s, who have been affected by this terrible virus.  I also offer my sincere gratitude to all of our front-line employees for their dedication to ensuring that the essential services we provide remain available to our customers around the world.  Together with our global operating managers, I am confident that Brink’s will emerge from this crisis as a stronger company with substantial revenue and earnings growth opportunities.”

G4S Acquisition Update
On February 26, Brink’s announced the planned acquisition of G4S cash operations in 17 markets, with closings planned in multiple phases throughout 2020.  To date, the company has completed its acquisition of G4Si, a global provider of secure logistics and storage services, and G4S cash operations in nine markets including the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Romania, the Czech Republic, Malaysia and the Dominican Republic.  The company expects to pay approximately $835 million for the entire transaction, including approximately $200 million to complete remaining acquisitions in eight additional markets. The acquisition is being financed with cash and debt from the company’s recently increased credit facility.

In 2019, the G4S businesses being acquired generated combined pro forma revenue of approximately $800 million and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $115 million, approximately 80 percent of which is attributable to the acquisitions completed to date. Upon completion, the entire transaction is expected to add more than $135 million in annualized adjusted EBITDA, including annualized cost synergies of approximately $20 million, expected to be achieved by the end of 2020.

Effective Tax Rate
The pandemic has had a substantial impact on the company’s projected 2020 non-GAAP effective income tax rate, which increased from 32 percent to 49.8 percent.  The increase is due primarily to the company’s expectation that it will be unable to utilize tax attributes at the lower projected income levels as well as the relative negative effect on the rate of tax expense items not based upon income.  Management expects its non-GAAP effective tax rate to return to the 30 percent range when the economic crisis subsides and the company’s earnings level improves.

Conference Call
Brink’s will host a conference call on May 5 at 4:30 p.m. ET to review first-quarter results.  Interested parties can listen by calling 888-349-0094 (in the U.S.) or 412-902-0124 (international).

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

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

Reorganization and Restructuring
Other Restructurings
Management periodically implements restructuring actions in targeted sections of our business.  As a result of these actions, we recognized a charge of $5.6 million in the first three months of 2020, primarily severance costs. We recognized charges of $28.8 million in 2019, primarily severance costs and charges related to the modification of share-based compensation awards. For the current restructuring actions, we expect to incur additional costs between $1 million and $2 million in future periods.

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

Acquisitions and dispositions Certain acquisition and disposition items that are not considered part of the ongoing activities of the
business and are special in nature are consistently excluded from non-GAAP results. These items are described below:
2020 Acquisitions and Dispositions

  • Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $7.2 million in the first three months of 2020.
  • We incurred $5.5 million in integration costs related to Dunbar and TVS in the first three months of 2020.
  • Transaction costs related to business acquisitions were $5.5 million in the first three months of 2020.
  • Restructuring costs related to acquisitions, primarily Dunbar, were $0.4 million in the first three months of 2020.

2019 Acquisitions and Dispositions

  • We incurred $43.1 million in integration costs related to Dunbar, Rodoban, COMEF and TVS in 2019.
  • Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $27.8 million in 2019.
  • Restructuring costs related to acquisitions, primarily Dunbar and Rodoban, were $5.6 million in 2019.
  • Transaction costs related to business acquisitions were $7.9 million in 2019.
  • Compensation expense related to the retention of key Dunbar employees was $1.5 million in 2019.
  • In 2019, we recognized $2.2 million in net charges, primarily asset impairment and severance costs, related to the exit from our top-up prepaid mobile phone business in Brazil.

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 three months of 2020, we recognized $2.4 million in pretax charges related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $1.6 million. In 2019, we recognized $14.5 million in pretax charges related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $11.3 million. These amounts are excluded from non-GAAP results.

Internal loss A former non-management employee in our U.S. global services operations embezzled funds from Brink's in prior years. Except for a small deductible amount, the amount of the internal loss related to the embezzlement was covered by our insurance. In an effort to cover up the embezzlement, the former employee intentionally misstated the underlying accounts receivable subledger data. In 2019, we incurred $4.5 million in costs (primarily third party expenses) to reconstruct the accounts receivables subledger.  In the first quarter of 2020, we incurred an additional $0.2 million in costs related to this activity. In the third quarter of 2019, we were able to identify $4.0 million of revenues billed and collected in prior periods which had never been recorded in the general ledger. We also identified and recorded $0.3 million in bank fees, which had been incurred in prior periods. The rebuild of the subledger was substantially completed during the third quarter of 2019. Based on the reconstructed subledger, we were able to analyze and quantify the uncollected receivables from prior periods. Although we plan to attempt to collect these receivables, we estimated an increase to bad debt expense of $13.7 million in the third quarter of 2019. The estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts was adjusted in the fourth quarter of 2019 for an additional $6.4 million and again in the first quarter of 2020 for an additional $9.4 million. This estimate will be adjusted in future periods, if needed, as assumptions related to the collectability of these accounts receivable change. At March 31, 2020, we have recorded $23.0 million allowance on $30.2 million of accounts receivable, or 76%. 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.

Reporting compliance Certain compliance costs (primarily third party expenses) are excluded from 2019 and the first three months of 2020 non-GAAP results. These costs relate to the implementation and January 1, 2019 adoption of the new lease accounting standard ($0.2 million in the first three months of 2020 and $1.8 million in 2019). We also incurred $0.3 million in costs related to mitigation of material weaknesses in 2019. We did not incur any such costs in the first three months of 2020.

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

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

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

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

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

  (a) See “Other Items Not Allocated To Segments” on pages 7-8 for details.  We do not consider these items to be reflective of our core operating performance due to the variability of such items from period-to-period in terms of size, nature and significance.
  (b) Non-GAAP income from continuing operations and non-GAAP EPS have been adjusted to reflect an effective income tax rate in each interim period equal to the full-year non-GAAP effective income tax rate. The full-year non-GAAP effective tax rate is estimated at 49.8% for 2020 and was 31.4% for 2019.
  (c) Our U.S. retirement plans are frozen and costs related to these plans are excluded from non-GAAP results. Certain non-U.S. operations also have retirement plans. Settlement charges related to these non-U.S. plans are also excluded from non-GAAP results.
  (d) The non-GAAP tax rate excludes the 2019 foreign tax benefits that resulted from a transaction that accelerated U.S. tax in 2015.
  (e) Due to reorganization and restructuring activities, there was a $7.7 million non-GAAP adjustment to share-based compensation in 2019. There is no difference between GAAP and non-GAAP share-based compensation amounts for the other periods presented.
  (f) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as non-GAAP income from continuing operations excluding the impact of non-GAAP interest expense, non-GAAP income tax provision, non-GAAP depreciation and amortization and non-GAAP share-based compensation.
  (g) Because we reported a loss from continuing operations on a GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2019, GAAP EPS was calculated using basic shares. However, as we reported income from continuing operations on a non-GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2019, non-GAAP EPS was calculated using diluted shares.
  (h) Post-deconsolidation funding of ongoing costs related to our Venezuelan operations was $0.9 million in 2019 and was expensed as incurred and reported in interest and other nonoperating income (expense). We do not expect any future funding of the Venezuela business, as long as current U.S. sanctions remain in effect.
  (i) Gain on termination of a mining lease obligation related to former coal operations. We have no remaining mining leases.
