RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Brink's Company (NYSE: BCO), a global leader in security-related services, reported fourth-quarter earnings from continuing operations of $124 million versus $39 million last year ($2.53 versus $.83 per share).  Results include a U.S. tax valuation allowance release of $118 million ($2.40 per share) and a $23 million charge ($.46 per share) related to the previously announced repatriation of cash from the company's operations in Venezuela.  Results are summarized below.

    (a)  Adjusted financial information is contained on pages 20 - 28, 
    including reconciliation to amounts reported under generally accepted 
    accounting principles (GAAP).  Adjustments relate to the exchange rate
    used to translate operating results in Venezuela and transaction losses on
    repatriated cash, an acquisition-related gain, and a release of a U.S. tax
    valuation allowance.
    (b)  Non-segment includes expenses related to corporate and former 
    operations and other amounts not allocated to segment operating profit.
    (c)  Amounts reported in this release are attributable to The Brink's 
    Company and exclude earnings related to noncontrolling ownership interests
    in consolidated subsidiaries.

In addition to the tax valuation allowance release and the repatriation charge, fourth-quarter results were affected by higher non-segment expenses (see page 15).

Segment operating profit was up 2% (down 7% adjusted).  Strong results in Latin America were offset by lower profits in Europe and North America.  The segment margin for the quarter was 8.3% (6.6% adjusted) and 6.8% for the year (6.0% adjusted).

Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the tax valuation allowance release, the repatriation charge, a third-quarter acquisition gain in India, and reflect the impact of reporting results from Venezuela at the less favorable parallel market exchange rate.  Adjusted results for the quarter, full year and prior periods and a reconciliation to the GAAP financial measures for related periods are provided on pages 20 – 28.

Michael T. Dan, chairman, president and chief executive officer, said:  "Brink's delivered quarterly and annual operating results that trail year-ago levels but demonstrate the company's ability to withstand the adversity of a global economic crisis.  Organic revenue was flat in both periods.  Segment margins declined but held up reasonably well in an environment that was extremely difficult for our customers in the banking, retail, and diamond and jewelry sectors.  In comparing year-over-year results, it's also important to remember that 2008 results include the highly profitable monetary conversion project in Venezuela.

"While navigating these challenges, we remained highly disciplined in our approach to positioning the company for growth.  Our core strategy is to grow cash logistics and other high-margin services in our current markets while penetrating new geographies with high growth potential.  Acquisitions made during 2009 in Brazil, Russia, India and China demonstrate our execution of this strategy.

"The Brazil acquisition is delivering strong results in one of the world's fastest growing economies.  The Russia acquisition is a small but important step in our effort to get in on the ground floor of a large and growing market.  Our acquisition in India, already an important market for our Global Services, expands our presence in one of the largest cash services markets in Asia.  The acquisition of ICD China is a good example of our strategy to expand into new security-related markets, in this case the commercial security market in Asia.  This acquisition gives us a platform for our pursuit of commercial security opportunities in other regions as well.  In North America, we continued to grow our CompuSafe® Service.  We continue to explore additional acquisitions and other opportunities to increase our presence in high-growth markets.

"We also took several other significant steps to position Brink's for the future.  Our decision to repatriate cash from Venezuela and report its operating results at the parallel market rate reduces the uncertainties associated with operating there.  We also addressed the underfunded status of our U.S. pension obligations, thereby enhancing our near-term cash flow and financial flexibility by eliminating the need for cash infusions for several years.  In Europe, a new leadership team is sharply focused on restructuring and other turnaround efforts.

"Our goal for 2010 is to grow organic revenue in the low-to-mid single-digit percentage range over 2009 adjusted revenue of $2.9 billion.  Our 2010 segment operating margin is expected to be between 7% and 7.5%.  As economies around the world stabilize and improve, we are confident that Brink's will emerge as an even stronger leader in the markets we serve."

Summary of Fourth-Quarter Results

GAAP and Adjusted

Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures.  Adjusted results for the fourth quarter exclude the tax valuation allowance release and the repatriation charge, and reflect the impact of reporting results from Venezuela at the less favorable parallel market exchange rate.  Adjusted results for the quarter, full year and prior periods and a reconciliation to the GAAP financial measures for related periods are provided on pages 20 - 28.

International Operations

EMEA:

  • Revenue up 5% due mainly to favorable currency impact ($34 million) offset by loss of guarding contracts in France ($12 million) and sale of certain guarding operations in France ($5 million)
  • Organic revenue down 5% due primarily to loss of guarding contracts in France ($12 million)  
  • Continued pricing and volume pressure throughout region
  • Profit down 36% due primarily to:
    • Higher severance costs (up $6 million) related to contract losses and turnaround efforts
    • Global Services down across region on weak diamond and jewelry demand

Latin America:

GAAP

  • Revenue up 34% on higher CIT volume, inflation-based price increases, Brazil acquisition ($23 million)
  • Organic revenue up 16% on higher CIT volume throughout region
  • Operating profit up 41% on strong Venezuela volume and Brazil acquisition, partially offset by intra-quarter change to less favorable parallel market rate in Venezuela (reduced profit by $4 million)

Adjusted

  • Revenue up 41% on higher CIT volume, inflation-based price increases, Brazil acquisition ($23 million)
  • Organic revenue up 13% on higher CIT volume throughout region
  • Operating profit up 40% on strong Venezuela volume and Brazil acquisition

Asia-Pacific:

  • Revenue up 48% due mainly to third-quarter acquisitions in India ($6 million) and China ($3 million)
  • Organic revenue and profit down due to lower diamond and jewelry demand

Page 4

North American Operations

  • Revenue flat; lower volume in CIT and Global Services partially offset by higher selling prices
  • Operating profit down 10%; CIT volume decline (particularly in ATM services) offset benefit of price increases; continued weakness in diamond and jewelry segment of Global Services; higher legal expenses ($3 million)

Non-segment (see table on page 15)

GAAP

  • Total non-segment expenses up $33 million due mainly to higher foreign exchange losses (primarily the $23 million repatriation charge)

  • Positive offsets include:
    • Lower currency losses ($3 million), excluding the repatriation charge
    • Lower general and administrative expense ($1 million)
    • Higher royalty income ($1 million)

Adjusted

  • Total non-segment expenses up $11 million
  • Retirement expenses up ($5 million)
  • Lower gains on asset sales ($11 million)
  • Positive offsets include:
    • Lower currency losses ($3 million)
    • Lower general and administrative expense ($1 million)

Summary of Full Year Results

GAAP and Adjusted

Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures.  Adjusted full-year results exclude the tax valuation allowance release, the repatriation charge, a third-quarter acquisition gain in India, and reflect the impact of reporting results from Venezuela at the less favorable parallel market exchange rate.  Adjusted results for the quarter, full year and prior periods and a reconciliation to the GAAP financial measures for related periods are provided on pages 20 - 28.

International Operations

EMEA:

  • Revenue down 7% due mainly to unfavorable currency impact ($83 million), loss of guarding contracts in France ($34 million) and sale of certain guarding operations in France ($5 million)
  • Organic revenue down 2% due to loss of guarding contracts in France ($34 million)  
  • Continued pricing and volume pressure throughout region
  • Profit down 65% primarily due to:
    • Higher severance costs (up $10 million) related to contract losses and turnaround efforts and accounting corrections in Belgium ($6 million)
    • Global Services down across region on weak diamond and jewelry demand

Latin America:

GAAP

  • Revenue up 13% on higher CIT volume, inflation-based price increases, Brazil acquisition ($74 million)
  • Organic revenue up 9% on higher CIT volume throughout region
  • Operating profit down 13% as 2008 included results from highly profitable monetary conversion project in Venezuela
  • Profit increase from Brazil acquisition ($10 million) partially offset by higher foreign currency transaction losses in Venezuela ($8 million)

Adjusted

  • Revenue up 6% on higher CIT volume, inflation-based price increases, Brazil acquisition ($74 million)
  • Organic revenue up 9% on higher CIT volume throughout region
  • Operating profit down 9%:
    • 2008 included results from monetary conversion project in Venezuela
    • Brazil acquisition added $10 million profit

Asia-Pacific:

  • Revenue up 10% due mainly to third-quarter acquisitions in India ($8 million) and China ($4 million)
  • Organic revenue and profit down due to lower diamond and jewelry demand

Page 7

North American Operations

  • Revenue down 4%; lower volume in CIT and Global Services partially offset by higher selling prices

Repatriation of Cash in Venezuela

In December 2009, Brink's repatriated 76 million bolivar fuertes held in Venezuela at the parallel exchange rate and began reporting results from these operations at the parallel market rate.  

Bolivars may be converted to U.S. dollars using either the Venezuelan government's official rate, which requires government approval, or the less-favorable parallel rate that may be used without government approval.

Prior to its decision to repatriate dividends using the parallel market rate, Brink's had experienced delays in receiving the approvals required to repatriate dividends at the official rate.  

Brink's converted 76 million bolivars into $13 million at an average parallel rate of 5.92 bolivars per U.S. dollar.  These bolivars were translated and reported on the company's September 30 consolidated balance sheet at Venezuela's official exchange rate of 2.15 bolivars per U.S. dollar, or approximately $35 million.  Brink's incurred a fourth-quarter charge of approximately $23 million (46 cents per share), which reflects the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the 76 million bolivars at the parallel rate versus the official exchange rate.

The decision to report results at the parallel rate also affected the company's balance sheet.  Using the parallel rate at December 31, 2009, total equity was reduced by $139 million and the equity attributed to Brink's shareholders was reduced by $85 million.  

Income Taxes

2009 Versus 2008

In the fourth quarter, Brink's recorded a tax benefit of $99 million (negative effective tax rate of 259%) versus a tax expense of $16 million (25%) in 2008.  The tax benefit for the year was $61 million (negative effective tax rate of 37%) versus a tax expense of $53 million (24%) in 2008.  The 2009 tax benefit in both periods includes $118 million related to the release of a U.S. tax valuation allowance.

During the equity market decline in 2008, the company's deferred tax assets grew significantly, reflecting growth in its U.S. retirement plan obligations caused by lower plan asset values.  As a result, the company recorded a $146 million valuation allowance based on its conclusion that some of the tax benefits may not be realized due to the significant increase in retirement obligations.

In 2009, the increase in retirement asset values from the equity market improvement and company contribution reduced retirement obligations and caused a corresponding decline in deferred tax assets.  The probability of realizing remaining deferred tax assets improved resulting in the release of most of the valuation allowance recorded in 2008 by recording a tax benefit of $118 million.

On an adjusted basis, the fourth-quarter rate was 34% versus 27% in 2008 (37% and 25% for the full years, respectively).  The lower rates in 2008 were favorably affected by a net reduction in valuation allowance activity due to improved performance in certain countries.

2010 Forecast

The effective income tax rate for 2010 is expected to be between 36% and 39%.  This higher forecasted range reflects the designation of Venezuela as highly inflationary for accounting purposes, effective January 1, 2010.  This designation precludes the recognition of deferred tax benefits that result from inflationary indexing of assets and liabilities.

    ** The tax rate is expected to be higher in 2010 partially due to 
    accounting for Venezuelan subsidiaries as operating in a highly 
    inflationary economy, effective January 1, 2010.  Also, the projected tax
    rates assume no change in judgment about deferred tax valuation 
    allowances.

    (a)  BHS, a previously wholly owned subsidiary, was spun off on October 
    31, 2008.  Revenues of the operations were $45.3 million for the fourth 
    quarter of 2008 and $442.4 million in 2008 (partial year).
    (b)  In late 2008, Congress passed the Energy Improvement and Extension 
    Act of 2008 which enabled taxpayers to file claims for Federal Black Lung
    Excise Tax ("FBLET") refunds for periods prior to those open under the 
    statute of limitations previously applicable.  We received FBLET refunds
    in the second quarter of 2009.
    (c)  BAX Global, a former business unit, is defending a claim related to 
    the apparent diversion by a third party of goods being transported for a 
    customer.  The company has contractually indemnified the purchaser of BAX
    Global for this contingency.  During the second quarter of 2009, BAX 
    Global advised us that it is probable that it will be deemed liable for
    this claim.

U.S. Pension Plans

Pension benefits provided to eligible U.S. employees were frozen on December 31, 2005, and are not provided to employees hired after 2005 or to those covered by a collective bargaining agreement.  On January 1, 2009, there were approximately 21,000 beneficiaries in the plans.  In 2009, Brink's contributed $150 million to the plans, which helped reduce the underfund status of U.S. plans to $152 million.  Brink's is not required to make additional payments until 2012.  Based on current assumptions, the underfunded status is expected to decline from 2010 through 2013 and become fully funded under GAAP in 2014.

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.   On January 1, 2009, there were approximately 4,700 beneficiaries in the UMWA plans.  The company does not expect to make additional contributions to these plans until 2026.

Black Lung and other plans

Under the Federal Black Lung Benefits Act of 1972, Brink's is also responsible for paying lifetime black lung benefits to miners and their dependents for claims filed after June 30, 1973.  The unfunded balance and cash payments related to black lung are expected to decline over time due to mortality.  On December 31, 2009, there were approximately 700 black lung beneficiaries in the plan.

The company also has a plan that provides retirement health care benefits to certain eligible salaried employees.  Benefits under this plan are not indexed for inflation.

Risks Associated with U.S. Retirement Obligations 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

Net Debt (Cash) is a supplemental financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP.  We define Net Debt as Debt less cash and cash equivalents.  We use Net Debt (Cash) as a measure of our financial leverage.  We believe that investors also may find Net Debt (Cash) to be helpful in evaluating our financial leverage.  Net Debt (Cash) should not be considered as an alternative to Debt determined in accordance with GAAP.  Set forth above is a reconciliation of Net Debt (Cash), a non-GAAP financial measure, to Debt, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP, as of December 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008.  This supplemental non-GAAP information should be reviewed in conjunction with the consolidated balance sheets in our annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2009.  

Net Debt (Cash) position changed primarily due to the decrease in the cash and cash equivalents balance.  Items that impacted cash and cash equivalents during 2009 were:

  • After-tax U.S. pension plan contribution ($62 million)
  • Acquisitions net of cash acquired ($75 million)
  • Venezuela repatriation and translation at less favorable parallel market rate ($45 million)
  • Other net inflows, including FBLET refund, additional U.S. tax refunds and cash from operations, less foreign tax payments

Historical Adjusted Results Reconciled to Amounts Reported Under GAAP (Unaudited)

Purpose of Adjusted Information

Adjusted results described in this earnings release are financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").  These adjusted results (a) reflect the impact of reporting results from Venezuela at the less favorable parallel market exchange rate, (b) exclude transaction losses on repatriated cash from Venezuela, (c) exclude a third-quarter acquisition gain in India, and (d) exclude the tax valuation allowance release.

The purpose of the adjusted information is to provide users of financial information of The Brink's Company an understanding of the effects of each of the items described above.  The adjusted information provides information to assist comparability and estimates of future performance.   Brink's believes these measures are helpful in assessing operations and estimating future results, provide transparency to investors, and enable period-to-period comparability of financial performance.  Adjusted results should not be considered as an alternative to revenue, income or earnings per share amounts determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with their GAAP counterparts.

The adjustments disclosed below are summarized on pages 21, 22, 25 and 26.  Pages 25 and 26 reconcile the non-GAAP "Trended Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income - Adjusted" information contained on page 27 and 28 with the "Trended Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income" contained on pages 23 and 24.

Explanation of Reconciling Items

The adjustments:

a. Change from official rate to parallel rate translation in Venezuela

i. Reduce segment operating income - International to reflect the operating results had they been translated using the parallel rate in effect at the time.  Results from Venezuela in 2008 and most of 2009 were translated at the official rate.

ii. Increase segment operating income – International by $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2009, $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2009 and $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.  The adjustments reverse certain currency exchange losses related to increases in cash held in U.S. dollars by the Venezuelan subsidiaries.

b. Venezuela currency loss.  Decrease non-segment expense by $22.5 million for the loss that was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2009 related to the repatriation of cash from Venezuela.

c. Acquisition gain.  Decrease other operating income – non-segment by $13.9 million for the gain recorded in the third quarter of 2009 related to an acquisition of a controlling interest in an Indian subsidiary.

d. Tax benefit.  Decrease income tax benefit by $117.8 million for the release of a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets in the U.S.
