THE BRINK’S COMPANY
and subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of presentation
 
Effective February 2017, The Brink’s Company (along with its subsidiaries, “Brink’s” or “we”) implemented changes to its organizational and management structure. As a result of these changes, we now have three operating segments:
North America
South America
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 accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.  These unaudited 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, 2016.

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 and other long-lived assets, pension and other retirement benefit obligations, legal contingencies and deferred tax assets.

Consolidation
The method of accounting applied to investments in businesses, whether consolidated, equity or cost, involves an evaluation of all significant terms of the investments that explicitly grant or suggest evidence of control or influence over the operations of the investee. 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.  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 financial policies are accounted for under the cost method or, if applicable, as available-for-sale securities.  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 an officially reported 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 (loss).

Foreign subsidiaries that operate in highly inflationary countries use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency.  Local currency monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars using rates of exchange as of each balance sheet date, with remeasurement adjustments and other transaction gains and losses recognized in earnings.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities do not fluctuate with changes in local currency exchange rates to the dollar.

Venezuela
The economy in Venezuela has had significant inflation in the last several years.  We consolidate our Venezuelan results using our accounting policy for subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies.

Since 2003, the Venezuelan government has controlled the exchange of local currency into other currencies, including the U.S. dollar, and has required that currency exchanges be made at official rates established by the government instead of allowing open markets to determine

7



currency rates.  Different official rates existed for different industries and purposes and the government does not approve all requests to convert bolivars to other currencies.

As a result of the restrictions on currency exchange, we have in the past been unable to obtain sufficient U.S. dollars to purchase certain imported supplies and fixed assets to fully operate our business in Venezuela. Consequently, we have occasionally purchased more expensive, bolivar-denominated supplies and fixed assets. There is a risk that official currency exchange mechanisms will be discontinued or will not be accessible when needed in the future, which may prevent us from repatriating dividends or obtaining dollars to operate our Venezuelan operations.

Remeasurement rates during 2017 and 2016.  In the first quarter of 2016, the Venezuelan government replaced the SIMADI exchange mechanism with the DICOM exchange mechanism and announced that it would allow the DICOM exchange mechanism rate to float freely. At March 31, 2016, the DICOM rate was approximately 273 bolivars to the dollar. Since then, the rate has declined 62% to close at approximately 710 bolivars to the dollar at March 31, 2017. We have received only minimal U.S. dollars through this exchange mechanism. In the first three months of 2017, we recognized a $0.3 million pretax remeasurement loss.  The after-tax effect of this loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was $0.1 million. In the first three months of 2016, we recognized a $2.8 million pretax remeasurement loss. However, the after-tax effect of this loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was income of $0.5 million.

Items related to our Venezuelan operations are as follows:

Our investment in our Venezuelan operations on an equity-method basis was $28.5 million at March 31, 2017 and $19.2 million at December 31, 2016.
Our Venezuelan operations had net payables to other Brink's affiliates of $7.5 million at March 31, 2017 and $6.1 million at December 31, 2016.
Our Venezuelan operations had net non-monetary assets of $20.6 million at March 31, 2017 and $17.6 million at December 31, 2016.
Our bolivar-denominated net monetary net assets were $12.9 million (including $15.0 million of cash and cash equivalents) at March 31, 2017 and $1.4 million (including $6.8 million of cash and cash equivalents) at December 31, 2016.
Accumulated other comprehensive losses attributable to Brink’s shareholders related to our Venezuelan operations were $114.4 million at March 31, 2017 and $114.7 million at December 31, 2016.

Argentina
The economy in Argentina has had significant inflation in recent years. As of March 31, 2017, Argentina was not designated as a highly inflationary economy for accounting purposes. We will continue to monitor developments in Argentina at each reporting date to determine whether we should consolidate Brink's Argentina results using our accounting policy for subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies. We use the official exchange rate to translate the Brink's Argentina balance sheet and income statement. At March 31, 2017, the official exchange rate was approximately 15.4 Argentine pesos to the U.S. dollar. At March 31, 2017, we had cash and short term investments denominated in Argentine pesos of $25.4 million.

Ireland
Due to management's decision in the first quarter of 2016 to exit the Republic of Ireland, the prospective impacts of shutting down this operation were included in items not allocated to segments and were excluded from the operating segments effective March 1, 2016. Beginning May 1, 2016, due to management's decision to also exit Northern Ireland, the results of shutting down these operations were treated similarly to the Republic of Ireland. International shipments to and from Ireland will continue to be provided through Brink’s Global Services ("BGS").

New Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, a new standard related to revenue recognition, which requires an entity to recognize an amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods and services to customers. The new standard will replace most of the existing revenue recognition standards in U.S. GAAP. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of this new standard to January 1, 2018. Subsequently, the FASB has continued to refine the standard and has issued several amendments. We have not yet completed our final review of the impact of this guidance but we believe that the most likely effects will be related to variable consideration and capitalization of costs to obtain contracts. We are also continuing to review potential disclosures and our method of adoption in order to complete our evaluation. Based on our preliminary assessment, we do not expect a material impact on our financial reporting.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which will require the recognition of assets and liabilities by lessees for certain leases classified as operating leases under current accounting guidance. The new standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding leasing activities. ASU 2016-02 will be effective January 1, 2019 and we are assessing the potential impact of the standard on financial reporting.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies how certain features related to share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. We elected to early adopt this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2016 and, per the requirements of the pronouncement, we applied the amendments to the beginning of 2016. Under ASU 2016-09, accounting changes adopted using the modified retrospective method must be calculated as of the beginning of 2016 and reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment. As a result, we recognized a $0.2 million cumulative-effect adjustment to January 1, 2016

retained earnings for previously unrecognized excess tax benefits. We have elected to continue our previous accounting policy of estimating forfeitures and, therefore, we did not recognize any cumulative-effect adjustment related to forfeitures. ASU 2016-09 requires that accounting changes adopted using the prospective method should be reported in the applicable interim periods of 2016. We did not have any material changes to previously reported interim financial information in 2016 as it relates to the recognition of excess tax benefits in the statement of operations or the classification of excess tax benefits in the statement of cash flows. In the first three months of 2017, the accounting under this ASU resulted in the recognition of $4.6 million in excess tax benefits.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, which requires entities to include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalent balances with cash and cash equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 will be effective January 1, 2018 and will impact the presentation of our statement of cash flows.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which requires an entity to report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. We elected to early adopt this ASU in the first quarter of 2017 using the retrospective transition method for the periods presented. As a result, the condensed consolidated statements of operations have been updated to reflect this guidance.

The adoption of this ASU resulted in a change in certain previously reported amounts in the first quarter of 2016 condensed consolidated statement of operations. Cost of revenues decreased $8.1 million, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.6 million and operating profit as well as interest and other income (expense) increased $9.7 million compared to previously reported first quarter 2016 amounts. The early adoption of this ASU had no impact on the previously reported loss from continuing operations or net loss for the prior year quarter.

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.  Our CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources to each operating segment based on operating profit or loss, excluding income and expenses not allocated to segments.

During the first quarter of 2017, we implemented changes to our organizational and management structure that resulted in changes to our operating segments for financial reporting purposes. Through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, our business was reported in nine operating segments: U.S., France, Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Latin America, EMEA, Asia and Payment Services. Changes in our management reporting structure during the first quarter of 2017 required us to conduct an assessment in accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, to determine our operating segments.

As a result of this assessment, we now have the following operating segments:
North America
South America
Rest of World (ROW).

Prior period information has been revised to reflect our new segment structure.

Retirement benefits other than pensions
We provide retirement healthcare benefits for eligible current and former U.S., Canadian, and Brazilian employees.  Retirement benefits related to our former U.S. coal operation include medical benefits provided by the Pittston Coal Group Companies Employee Benefit Plan for United Mine Workers of America Represented Employees (the “UMWA plans”) as well as costs related to Black Lung obligations.

2017 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first three months of 2017 was less than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the significant tax benefits related to the distribution of share-based payments partially offset by the impact of Venezuela’s earnings and related tax expense.
Excluding those items, our effective tax rate on continuing operations in the first three months of 2017 is 37%.  The rate is higher than 35% primarily due to the seasonality of book losses for which no tax benefit can be recorded, nondeductible expenses in Mexico, taxes on cross border payments and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax, partially offset by the geographical mix of earnings and a French income tax credit.

2016 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first three months of 2016 was greater than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the significant costs related to the winding down of operations in the Republic of Ireland, for which no tax benefit can be recorded, and the nondeductible expenses resulting from the currency devaluation in Venezuela.

Excluding those items, our effective tax rate on continuing operations in the first three months is 54%. The rate was higher than 35% primarily due to the seasonality of book losses for which no tax benefit can be recorded, nondeductible expenses in Mexico, taxes on undistributed earnings and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax, partially offset by the geographical mix of earnings and a French income tax credit.

Note 6 - Fair value of financial instruments

Investments in Trading Securities and Available-for-sale Securities
We have investments in mutual funds designated as trading securities and as available-for-sale securities that are carried at fair value in the financial statements. For these investments, fair value was estimated based on quoted market prices categorized as a Level 1 valuation.

Fixed-Rate Debt
The fair value and carrying value of our fixed-rate debt are as follows:

Unsecured notes issued in a private placement
 
 
 
Carrying value
$

85.7

Fair value
79.9

 
88.2


The fair value estimate of our unsecured private-placement notes is based on the present value of future cash flows, discounted at rates for similar instruments at the respective measurement dates, which we have categorized as a Level 3 valuation.

Forward and Swap Contracts
We have outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies.  At March 31, 2017, the notional value of our shorter term outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $28.6 million, with average maturities of approximately one month.  These shorter term foreign currency forward and swap contracts primarily offset exposures in the British pound and the euro and are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. At March 31, 2017, the fair value of these shorter term foreign currency contracts was not significant.

In 2013, we entered into a longer term cross-currency swap to hedge against the change in value of a long-term intercompany loan denominated in Brazilian real.  This longer term contract is designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. At March 31, 2017, the notional value of this contract was $6.3 million with a remaining weighted-average maturity of 0.5 years.  At March 31, 2017, the fair value of this longer term swap contract was an asset of $2.3 million, which is included in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In the first quarter of 2016, we entered into two interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $40 million with a remaining weighted-average maturity of 2.0 years. These swaps were entered into to hedge cash flow risk associated with changes in variable interest rates and are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. At March 31, 2017, the fair value of these interest rates swaps was a net asset of $0.9 million, which is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The fair values of these forward and swap contracts are determined using Level 2 valuation techniques and are based on the present value of net future cash payments and receipts. 

Other Financial Instruments
Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, floating rate debt, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.  The financial statement carrying amounts of these items approximate the fair value.

There were no transfers in or out of any of the levels of the valuation hierarchy in the first three months of 2017.

Note 7 - 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 granted share-based awards to employees under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan ("2005 Plan") and the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan ("2013 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 also permits cash awards to eligible employees.  The 2005 Plan was replaced by the 2013 Plan effective February 2013.  No further grants of awards will be made under the 2005 Plan.

We have granted deferred stock units to directors through the Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Plan.  Share-based awards were granted to directors and remain outstanding under the Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan and the Directors’ Stock Accumulation Plan, both of which have expired.

Outstanding awards at March 31, 2017, include performance share units, market 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.  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 February 2016, the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors modified the terms of performance share units originally awarded or granted in 2013, 2014 and 2015 to reflect the impact of removing Venezuela operations from the Company’s segment results beginning in 2015. For each of the affected performance share units, consolidated results for 2015 and each subsequent year within the respective performance period was or will be adjusted to reflect Venezuela results at the amount originally projected in the applicable performance target. No incremental compensation cost associated with the modification has been recognized as the modified goal is expected to be more difficult to achieve and, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, we continue to recognize expense as calculated using the original performance goal.

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:

In addition, some of the awards granted in 2016 contain a non-financial performance condition. We measure the fair value of these performance-based options at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

Performance Share Units ("PSUs”)
Prior to 2016, we granted PSUs that contained a performance condition, a market condition and a service condition. In 2017 and 2016, we granted Internal Metric PSUs ("IM PSUs") and 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 2017, the performance period is from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019.

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 2017, the performance period is from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019.

No additional compensation expense was required to be recognized for the additional shares distributed, as the market condition was included in the $23.34 grant date fair value.
Deferred Stock Units ("DSUs")
We granted DSUs to our independent directors. We measure the fair value of DSUs at the grant date, based on the price of Brink's stock.

In 2016 and 2015, our independent directors received grants of DSUs that vest and will be paid out in shares of Brink's stock on the first anniversary of the grant date, provided that the director has not elected to defer the distribution of shares until a later date. DSUs are forfeited if a director leaves before the vesting date. However, in connection with the retirement of two directors in January 2016, our board of

18



directors waived the one-year vesting provision for those DSUs granted in 2015. The impact of this modification was recorded in the first quarter of 2016 and was not significant. DSUs granted prior to 2015, in general, will be paid out in shares of stock following separation from service.

We acquired $14.8 million in armored vehicles under capital lease arrangements in the first three months of 2017 compared to $3.9 million in armored vehicles and other equipment acquired under capital lease arrangements in the first three months of 2016.

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. As part of this service offering, we have entered into lending arrangements with some of our customers. Cash borrowed under these lending arrangements is used in the process of managing these customers' cash supply chains. The cash for which we have temporary title and the cash borrowed under these customer lending arrangements is restricted and cannot be used for any other purpose other than to service our customers who participate in this service offering.

At March 31, 2017, we held $70.2 million of restricted cash ($24.0 million represented short-term borrowings, $42.9 million represented restricted cash held for customers, and $3.3 million represented deposit liabilities). At December 31, 2016, we held $55.5 million of restricted cash ($22.3 million represented short-term borrowings and $33.2 million represented restricted cash held for customers).

Note 11 - Contingent matters

During the fourth quarter of 2015, we became aware of an investigation initiated by COFECE (the Mexican antitrust agency) related to potential anti-competitive practices among competitors in the cash logistics industry in Mexico (the industry in which Brink’s Mexican subsidiary, SERPAPROSA, is active). Because no legal proceedings have been initiated against SERPAPROSA, we cannot estimate the probability of loss or any range of estimate of possible loss at this time. It is possible that SERPAPROSA could become the subject of legal or administrative claims or proceedings, however, that could result in a loss that could be material to the Company’s results in a future period.

On March 21, 2016, The Bruce McDonald Holding Company, et al., filed a lawsuit in Circuit Court of Logan County, West Virginia against Addington, Inc. (“Addington”) and The Brink’s Company related to an Agreement of Lease dated September 19, 1978, between the Plaintiffs and Addington. Plaintiffs seek declaratory judgment and unspecified damages related to allegations that Addington failed to mine coal on the property leased from the Plaintiffs and failed to pay correct minimum royalties to the Plaintiffs. The Company denies the allegations asserted by the Plaintiffs, is vigorously defending itself in this matter, and has filed a counterclaim against the Plaintiffs related to Plaintiffs’ failure to consent to the assignment and subleasing the leasehold to others. Due to numerous uncertain and unresolved factors presented in this case, it is not possible to estimate a range of loss at this time and, accordingly, no accrual has been recorded in the Company’s financial statements.

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 the ultimate disposition of any of the lawsuits currently pending against the Company should have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

Note 12 - Reorganization and Restructuring

2016 Reorganization and Restructuring
In the fourth quarter of 2016, management implemented restructuring actions across our global business operations and our corporate functions. As a result of these actions, we recognized $18.1 million in related 2016 costs. We recognized an additional $2.8 million in the first three months of 2017 related to this restructuring for additional asset-related adjustments and severance costs. Severance actions are expected to reduce our global workforce by 800 to 900 positions. We expect that the 2016 restructuring will result in $8 to $12 million in 2017 cost savings. We expect to incur additional costs between $15 and $20 million in future periods, primarily severance costs.

Executive Leadership and Board of Directors Restructuring
In the fourth quarter of 2015, we recognized $1.8 million in costs related to the restructuring of executive leadership and the Board of Directors, which was announced in January 2016. We also recognized an additional $3.2 million in charges, primarily severance costs, in the first quarter of 2016.

2015 Reorganization and Restructuring
Brink's initiated a global restructuring of its business in the third quarter of 2015. We recognized $11.6 million in related 2015 costs related to employee severance, contract terminations, and property impairment. We recognized an additional $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2016 related to this restructuring for additional severance costs and contract terminations. The 2015 Reorganization and Restructuring reduced the global workforce by approximately 1,100 positions and resulted in approximately $20 million in 2016 savings. The actions under this program were substantially completed by the end of 2016, with cumulative pretax charges of approximately $18 million.

Note 13 - Subsequent Events

In April 2017, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Muitofacil Holding Ltda., a Brazil-based holding company, and its subsidiary, Muitofacil Arrecadacao e Recebimento Ltda. (together "Pag Facil"). Pag Facil offers bank correspondent services, bill payment processing and mobile phone top-up services in Brazil and is expected to supplement our existing Brazilian payment services businesses. Annual revenues for Pag Facil in 2016 were approximately $30 million.

THE BRINK’S COMPANY
and subsidiaries

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Brink’s Company offers transportation and logistics management services for cash and valuables throughout the world.  These services include:
Cash-in-Transit (“CIT”) Services – armored vehicle transportation of valuables
ATM Services – replenishing and maintaining customers’ automated teller machines; providing network infrastructure services
Global Services – secure international transportation of valuables
Cash Management Services
Currency and coin counting and sorting; deposit preparation and reconciliations; other cash management services
Safe and safe control device installation and servicing (including our patented CompuSafe® service)
Check and cash processing services for banking customers (“Virtual Vault Services”)
Check imaging services for banking customers
Payment Services – bill payment and processing services on behalf of utility companies and other billers at any of our Brink’s or Brink’s-operated  payment locations in Latin America and Brink’s Money™ general purpose reloadable prepaid cards and payroll cards in the U.S.
Guarding Services – protection of airports, offices, and certain other locations in Europe and Brazil with or without electronic surveillance, access control, fire prevention and highly trained patrolling personnel

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.  Our CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources to each operating segment based on operating profit or loss, excluding income and expenses not allocated to segments.

During the first quarter of 2017, we implemented changes to our organizational and management structure that resulted in changes to our operating segments for financial reporting purposes. Through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, our business was reported in nine operating segments: U.S., France, Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Latin America, EMEA, Asia and Payment Services. Changes in our management reporting structure during the first quarter of 2017 required us to conduct an assessment in accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, to determine our operating segments.

As a result of this assessment, we now have the following operating segments:
North America
South America
Rest of World (ROW).

Prior period information has been revised to reflect our new segment structure.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated Review

GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We provide an analysis of our operations below on both a 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 ordinary earnings of our operations.  The non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide information to assist comparability and estimates of future performance.  The non-GAAP adjustments used to reconcile our GAAP results are described on pages 27–28 and are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures on pages 33–34.

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, changes in currency exchange rates (as described on page 26) and the accounting effects of reporting Venezuela under highly inflationary accounting.

GAAP Basis
Analysis of Consolidated Results: First Quarter 2017 versus First Quarter 2016
Consolidated Revenues  Revenues increased $66.6 million as organic growth in Venezuela ($126.6 million), South America ($26.1 million), North America ($19.0 million), and Rest of World ($4.8 million) was partially offset by unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates ($103.9 million) and the impact of acquisitions and dispositions ($6.0 million). A significant portion of the reduction in revenues from currency exchange rates relates to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Venezuela bolivar ($110.6 million).  Revenues increased 24% on an organic basis due mainly to higher average selling prices in Venezuela and Argentina (including the effects of inflation) and organic revenue growth in the U.S., primarily from the sale of onsite cash recyclers. See above for our definition of “organic.”

Consolidated Costs and Expenses  Cost of revenues increased 4% to $610.3 million due to inflation-based increases on labor and other operational costs as well as higher equipment costs from recycler sales. Selling, general and administrative costs decreased 1% to $107.1 million.

Consolidated Operating Profit Operating profit increased $47.4 million due mainly to:
organic increases in Venezuela ($64.8 million), South America ($14.8 million), North America ($6.9 million), and Rest of World ($6.0 million) and
the exit of operations in Ireland ($7.5 million)
partially offset by:
unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates ($50.2 million), including the effects of Venezuela devaluations and
higher corporate expenses ($5.7 million on an organic basis)

Consolidated Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to Brink’s and Related Per Share Amounts  Income from continuing operations attributable to Brink’s shareholders in 2017 increased $37.8 million to $34.7 million primarily due to the operating profit increase mentioned above, partially offset by higher income tax expense ($5.0 million) and higher income attributable to noncontrolling interests ($3.2 million). Earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.67, up from negative $0.06 in 2016.


24



Non-GAAP Basis
Analysis of Consolidated Results: First Quarter 2017 versus First Quarter 2016
Non-GAAP Consolidated Revenues  Non-GAAP revenues increased $51.4 million primarily due to organic growth in South America ($26.1 million), North America ($19.0 million), and Rest of World ($4.8 million), as well as favorable changes in currency exchange rates ($6.7 million). The increase was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of acquisitions and dispositions ($5.2 million). The favorable currency impact was driven by the Brazilian real which was slightly offset by the unfavorable impact of the Argentine peso and Mexican peso. Non-GAAP revenues increased 7% on an organic basis due mainly to higher average selling prices in Argentina (including the effects of inflation) and organic revenue growth in the U.S., primarily from the sale of onsite cash recyclers. See page 24 for our definition of “organic.”

Non-GAAP Consolidated Operating Profit Non-GAAP operating profit increased $20.2 million due mainly to:
organic increases in South America ($14.8 million), North America ($6.9 million), and Rest of World ($6.0 million)
partially offset by:
higher corporate expenses ($5.7 million on an organic basis) and
unfavorable impact of changes in currency exchange rates ($3.1 million).

Non-GAAP Consolidated Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to Brink’s and Related Per Share Amounts  Non-GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to Brink’s shareholders in 2017 increased $13.8 million to $29.2 million primarily due to the non-GAAP operating profit increase mentioned above, partially offset by the corresponding higher non-GAAP income tax expense ($6.8 million). Non-GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.57, up from $0.31 in 2016.

Analysis of Segment Results: First Quarter 2017 versus First Quarter 2016

North America
Revenues increased 4% ($11.9 million) as organic growth of 6% ($19.0 million) was partially offset by the negative impact of currency exchange rates ($7.8 million) primarily from the Mexican peso. Volume growth was driven by the U.S. and Mexico, with the U.S. increasing mainly due to sales of onsite cash recycler services and increased BGS volume. Operating profit increased $6.5 million primarily due to organic growth in the U.S. driven by productivity improvements, lower security losses and vehicle costs, price increases and sales of onsite cash recyclers.

South America
Revenues increased 29% ($45.2 million) primarily due to 17% organic growth ($26.1 million) driven by inflation-based price increases in Argentina, price and volume increases in Brazil and the favorable impact of currency exchange rates ($19.1 million) mostly from the Brazilian real. Operating profit increased 63% ($15.0 million) driven by organic growth in Argentina.

Rest of World
Revenues decreased 2% ($5.7 million) due to the impact of dispositions ($5.9 million) and unfavorable currency impact ($4.6 million) primarily from the euro, partially offset by 2% organic growth ($4.8 million). The organic growth was driven by Asia partially offset by an organic decrease in France due to a decline in guarding activities. Operating profit increased 38% ($6.9 million) due primarily to organic growth in Asia in both the core services and Global Services businesses, as well as the favorable impact of dispositions ($1.2 million).

The impact of other items not allocated to segments was profit of $18.0 million in the first quarter of 2017 versus the prior year period loss of $9.2 million. The change was primarily due to higher profits from our Venezuela operations in the current year quarter and prior period losses related to Ireland operations which were shut down in 2016.
Venezuela operations We have excluded from our segment results all of our Venezuela operating results, including remeasurement losses on net monetary assets related to currency devaluations of $0.3 million and $2.8 million in the first three months of 2017 and 2016, respectively, due to management’s inability to allocate, generate or redeploy resources in-country or globally. In light of these unique circumstances, our operations in Venezuela are largely independent of the rest of our global operations. As a result, the Chief Executive Officer, the Company's Chief Operating Decision maker ("CODM"), assesses segment performance and makes resource decisions by segment excluding Venezuela operating results. Additionally, management believes excluding Venezuela from segment results makes it possible to more effectively evaluate the company’s performance between periods.  

Factors considered by management in excluding Venezuela results include:
Continued inability to repatriate cash to redeploy to other operations or dividend to shareholders
Highly inflationary environment
Fixed exchange rate policy
Continued currency devaluations and
Difficulty raising prices and controlling costs

Reorganization and Restructuring
2016 Restructuring
In the fourth quarter of 2016, management implemented restructuring actions across our global business operations and our corporate functions. As a result of these actions, we recognized $18.1 million in related 2016 costs related to asset-related adjustments, severance costs, and lease restructuring charges. We recognized an additional $2.8 million in the first three months of 2017 related to this restructuring for additional asset-related adjustments and severance costs. Severance actions are expected to reduce our global workforce by 800 to 900 positions. We expect that the 2016 restructuring will result in $8 to $12 million in 2017 cost savings. We expect to incur additional costs between $15 and $20 million in 2017, primarily severance costs.


27



Executive Leadership and Board of Directors
In 2015, we recognized $1.8 million in charges related to Executive Leadership and Board of Directors restructuring actions, which were announced in January 2016. We recognized $3.2 million in charges in the first quarter of 2016 related to the Executive Leadership and Board of Directors restructuring actions.

2015 Restructuring
Brink's initiated a restructuring of its business in the third quarter of 2015. We recognized $11.6 million in related 2015 costs related to employee severance, contract terminations, and property impairment. We recognized an additional $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2016 related to this restructuring for additional severance costs, contract terminations and lease terminations. The 2015 Reorganization and Restructuring reduced the global workforce by approximately 1,100 positions and resulted in approximately $20 million in 2016 savings. The actions under this program were substantially completed by the end of 2016, with cumulative pretax charges of approximately $18 million.

Due to the unique circumstances around these charges, they 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:
2017 Acquisitions and Dispositions
Gains in the first quarter of 2017 relate primarily to the liquidation of our former cash-in-transit operation in Puerto Rico.

2016 Acquisitions and Dispositions
Due to management's decision in the first quarter of 2016 to exit the Republic of Ireland, the prospective impacts of shutting down this operation were included in items not allocated to segments and were excluded from the operating segments effective March 1, 2016. This activity is also excluded from the consolidated non-GAAP results. Beginning May 1, 2016, due to management's decision to also exit Northern Ireland, the results of shutting down these operations were treated similarly to the Republic of Ireland. 2015 revenues from both Ireland operations were approximately $20 million. Charges included in our full-year 2016 GAAP results include $4.9 million in severance costs, $1.8 million in property impairment charges, lease restructuring charges of $0.5 million and an additional $7.0 million in operating and other exit costs. These costs have been excluded from our segment and our consolidated non-GAAP results. International shipments to and from Ireland will continue to be provided through Brink’s Global Services ("BGS").

Foreign Operations

We currently serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 40 countries where we operate subsidiaries.

We are subject to risks customarily associated with doing business in foreign countries, including labor and economic conditions, political instability, controls on repatriation of earnings and capital, nationalization, expropriation and other forms of restrictive action by local governments. Changes in the political or economic environments in the countries in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The future effects, if any, of these risks are unknown.

Our international operations conduct a majority of their business in local currencies. Because our financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, they are affected by changes in the value of various local currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. Recent strengthening of the U.S. dollar has reduced our reported dollar revenues and operating profit, which may continue in 2017. Our operations in Venezuela are subject to local laws and regulatory interpretations that determine the exchange rate at which repatriating dividends may be converted.

Changes in exchange rates may also affect transactions which are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.  From time to time, we use foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies.  At March 31, 2017, the notional value of our shorter term outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $28.6 million with average contract maturities of approximately one month.  These shorter term foreign currency forward and swap contracts primarily offset exposures in the British pound and the euro.  Additionally, these shorter term contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded immediately in earnings.  We recognized gains of $0.7 million on these contracts in the first three months of 2017.  At March 31, 2017, the fair value of these shorter term foreign currency contracts was not significant.

We also have a longer term cross currency swap contract to hedge exposure in Brazilian real, which is designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes.  At March 31, 2017, the notional value of this longer term contract was $6.3 million with a weighted-average maturity of 0.5 years.  We recognized net losses of $0.3 million on this contract, of which losses of $0.2 million were included in other operating income (expense) to offset transaction gains of $0.2 million and expenses of $0.1 million were included in interest and other income (expense) in the first three months of 2017.  At March 31, 2017, the fair value of the longer term cross currency swap contract was $2.3 million, which is included in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of government currency processes and restrictions in Venezuela and Argentina, their effect on our operations, and how we account for currency remeasurement for our Venezuelan subsidiaries.

2017 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first three months of 2017 was less than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the significant tax benefits related to the distribution of share-based payments partially offset by the impact of Venezuela’s earnings and related tax expense.
Excluding those items, our effective tax rate on continuing operations in the first three months of 2017 is 37%.  The rate is higher than 35% primarily due to the seasonality of book losses for which no tax benefit can be recorded, nondeductible expenses in Mexico, taxes on cross border payments and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax, partially offset by the geographical mix of earnings and a French income tax credit.

2016 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first three months of 2016 was greater than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the significant costs related to the winding down of operations in the Republic of Ireland, for which no tax benefit can be recorded, and the nondeductible expenses resulting from the currency devaluation in Venezuela.

Excluding those items, our effective tax rate on continuing operations in the first three months is 54%. The rate was higher than 35% primarily due to the seasonality of book losses for which no tax benefit can be recorded, nondeductible expenses in Mexico, taxes on undistributed earnings and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax, partially offset by the geographical mix of earnings and a French income tax credit.

Deferred Tax Assets
Deferred tax assets are future tax deductions that result primarily from the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes.  At December 31, 2016, we had $271 million of U.S. deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, primarily related to our retirement plan obligations.  These future tax deductions may not be realized if tax rules change, if forecasted U.S. operational results are not realized or if any other U.S. projected future taxable income is insufficient. Consequently, not realizing our U.S. deferred tax assets may significantly and materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.  Further, the recent proposals to lower the U.S. corporate income tax rate would require us to recognize a significant income tax expense to reduce the U.S. deferred tax asset, if such a proposal is enacted into law.

Effective Tax Rate
Our effective tax rate may fluctuate materially from these estimates due to changes in 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 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 27–28, 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 information is intended to provide information to assist analysts and investors with comparability of financial performance and estimates of future performance. Brink’s believes these measures are helpful in assessing operations and estimating future results. Management uses non-GAAP results to evaluate our period-over-period operating performance because our management believes this provides a more comparable measure of our continuing 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

Cash flows from operating activities increased by $64.7 million in the first three months of 2017 as compared to the first three months of 2016.  Cash used for investing activities increased by $25.1 million in the first three months of 2017 compared to the first three months of 2016 as a result of a business acquisition, an increase in capital expenditures and higher marketable security purchase activity. We financed our liquidity needs in the first three months of 2017 with 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 Venezuela operations and the impact of cash received and processed in certain of our Cash Management Services operations. 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 increased by $64.7 million in the first three months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.  The increase was primarily due to higher operating profit and changes in customer obligations of certain of our secure Cash Management Services operations (cash held for customers increased by $4.2 million in the first three months of 2017 compared to a decrease of $18.5 million in the same period in 2016). These favorable changes were partially offset by a decrease in operating cash provided by Venezuela operations of $2.6 million.

Non-GAAP
Non-GAAP cash flows from operating activities increased by $44.6 million in the first three months of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.  The increase was primarily due to higher operating profit.

(a)
Capital expenditures as well as depreciation and amortization related to Venezuela have been excluded from South America. In addition, accelerated depreciation related to Reorganization and Restructuring activities has been excluded from non-GAAP amounts.
(b)
Represents the amount of property and equipment acquired using capital leases.  Because the assets are acquired without using cash, the acquisitions are not reflected in the condensed consolidated cash flow statement.  Amounts are provided here to assist in the comparison of assets acquired in the current year versus prior years. Sale leaseback transactions are excluded from "Capital leases" in this table.


36



Our reinvestment ratio, which we define as the annual amount of property and equipment acquired during the period divided by the annual amount of depreciation, was 1.2 for the twelve months ending March 31, 2017 compared to 1.0 for the twelve months ending March 31, 2016.

Capital expenditures in the first three months of 2017 were primarily for armored vehicles, CompuSafes®, information technology and machinery and equipment.

Debt borrowings and repayments
Cash flows from financing activities increased by $2.8 million in the first three months of 2017 compared to the first three months of 2016 as net borrowing on our revolving credit facilities exceeded net repayments of short-term borrowings and other long-term debt.

Dividends
We paid dividends to Brink’s shareholders of $0.10 per share or $5.0 million in the first three months of 2017, similar to the prior year.  Future dividends are dependent on our earnings, financial condition, shareholders’ equity levels, our cash flow and business requirements, as determined by the Board of Directors.

(a)
Restricted cash borrowings are related to cash borrowed under lending arrangements used in the process of managing customer cash supply chains, which is currently classified as restricted cash and not available for general corporate purposes.
(b)
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.

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 March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016.  Net Debt excluding cash and debt in Venezuelan operations was $316 million at March 31, 2017, and $255 million at December 31, 2016.

Net Debt increased by $54 million primarily to fund business acquisitions and working capital needs during the period including insurance and bonus payments.

Liquidity Needs
Our operating liquidity needs are typically financed by cash from operations, short-term debt and the Revolving Facility (our debt facilities are described below). We have certain limitations and considerations related to the cash and borrowing capacity that are reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements.  Based on our current cash on hand, amounts available under our credit facilities and current projections of cash flows from operations, we believe that we will be able to meet our liquidity needs for more than the next twelve months.

Limitations on dividends from foreign subsidiaries.   A significant portion of our operations are outside the U.S. which may make it difficult to repatriate cash for use in the U.S.  See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, for more information on the risks associated with having businesses outside the U.S.

Incremental taxes.  Of the $218.7 million of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2017, $186.4 million is held by subsidiaries that we consider to be permanently invested and for which we do not expect to repatriate to the U.S.  If we were to decide to repatriate this cash to the U.S., we may have to accrue and pay additional income taxes.  Given the number of foreign operations and the complexities of the tax law, it is not practical to estimate the potential tax liability, but the amount of taxes owed could be material depending on how and when the repatriation occurred.

Venezuela.  We have $15.0 million of cash and cash equivalents denominated in Venezuelan bolivars (as remeasured at the published DICOM rate of 710 bolivars to the U.S. dollar) at March 31, 2017.  We believe that the DICOM process to convert bolivars (as described in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) is the only method for which we could receive U.S. dollars that we need to operate our business and to repatriate earnings. The Venezuelan government has restricted conversions of bolivars into U.S. dollars in the past and may do so in the future. We did not repatriate any U.S. dollars from Venezuela in 2016 and have not done so to date in 2017.

(b)
Amounts outstanding are net of unamortized debt costs of $0.1 million as of March 31, 2017 and $0.1 million as of December 31, 2016.
(c)
Amounts outstanding are net of unamortized debt costs of $0.2 million as of March 31, 2017 and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2016.

Short-Term Borrowings

Uncommitted Credit Facilities
In October 2016, we entered into a $100 million uncommitted credit facility. Borrowings under this facility have a maximum maturity of not more than thirty days. Interest on this facility is generally based on LIBOR plus a margin of 1.00%. As of March 31, 2017, $85 million was outstanding.

In February 2016, we entered into a $24 million uncommitted credit facility with an initial expiration date in February 2017. The facility was amended in February 2017, which extended the expiration date to February 2018. Interest on this facility is based on LIBOR plus a margin of 1.00%. As of March 31, 2017, $4 million was outstanding.

Long-Term Debt

Revolving Facility
We have a $525 million unsecured multi-currency revolving bank credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) that matures in March 2020. The Revolving Facility’s interest rate is based on LIBOR plus a margin or an alternate base rate plus a margin. The Revolving Facility allows us to borrow loans or issue letters of credit (or otherwise satisfy credit needs) on a revolving basis over the term of the facility. As of March 31, 2017, $369 million was available under the Revolving Facility. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility, as of March 31, 2017, were denominated primarily in U.S. dollars and to a lesser extent in euros.

The margin on LIBOR borrowings under the Revolving Facility, which can range from 1.0% to 1.70% depending on either our credit rating or leverage ratio as defined within the Revolving Facility, was 1.30% at March 31, 2017. The margin on alternate base rate borrowings under the Revolving Facility ranges from 0.0% to 0.70%. We also pay an annual facility fee on the Revolving Facility based on our credit rating or the leverage ratio. The facility fee can range from 0.125% to 0.30% and was 0.20% at March 31, 2017.

Private Placement Notes
As of March 31, 2017, we had $79 million principal amount of unsecured notes outstanding, which were issued through a private placement debt transaction (the “Notes”). The Notes comprise $29 million in series A notes with a fixed interest rate of 4.57% and $50 million in series B notes with a fixed interest rate of 5.20%. Annual principal payments under the series A notes began in January 2015 and continue through maturity. The series B notes are due in January 2021.


39



Term Loan
We entered into a $75 million unsecured term loan in March 2015. Interest on this loan is based on LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75%. Monthly principal payments began April 2015 and continue through to maturity, with the remaining balance of $34 million due in March 2022. As of March 31, 2017, the principal amount outstanding was $65 million.

Other Facilities
As of March 31, 2017, we had one $20 million unsecured multi-currency revolving bank credit facility, of which $12 million was available. As of March 31, 2017, we had funded debt of $4 million and undrawn letters of credit and guarantees of $4 million issued under the multi-currency revolving bank credit facility, which expires in March 2019. Interest on this facility is based on LIBOR plus a margin, which ranges from 1.0% to 1.7%. We also have the ability to borrow from other banks, at the banks' discretion, under short-term uncommitted agreements. Various foreign subsidiaries maintain other lines of credit and overdraft facilities with a number of banks.

Letter of Credit Facilities
We have a $40 million uncommitted letter of credit facility that expires in May 2017. As of March 31, 2017, $5 million was utilized. We have two unsecured letter of credit facilities totaling $94 million, of which approximately $38 million was available at March 31, 2017. At March 31, 2017, we had undrawn letters of credit and guarantees of $56 million issued under these letter of credit facilities. A $40 million facility expires in December 2018 and a $54 million facility expires in December 2019. The Revolving Facility and the multi-currency revolving credit facilities are also used for issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees.

The Revolving Facility, the Notes, the unsecured multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities, the unsecured committed credit facility, the letter of credit facilities and the unsecured term loan contain certain subsidiary guarantees and various financial and other covenants. The financial covenants, among other things, limit our total indebtedness, restrict certain payments to shareholders, limit priority debt, limit asset sales, limit the use of proceeds from asset sales, provide for a maximum leverage ratio and provide for minimum coverage of interest costs. These agreements do not provide for the acceleration of payments should our credit rating be reduced. If we were not to comply with the terms of our various 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 financial covenants at March 31, 2017.

Equity
At March 31, 2017, we had 100 million shares of common stock authorized and 50.4 million shares issued and outstanding.

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 2016 or the first three months of 2017.  There are approximately 14,800 beneficiaries in the plans.

Based on current assumptions, we do not expect to make any additional contributions until 2021.

UMWA Plans
Retirement benefits related to former coal operations include medical benefits provided by the Pittston Coal Group Companies Employee Benefit Plan for UMWA Represented Employees.  There are approximately 3,600 beneficiaries in the UMWA plans.  The company does not expect to make additional contributions to these plans until 2027 based on actuarial assumptions.

Black Lung
Under the Federal Black Lung Benefits Act of 1972, Brink’s is responsible for paying lifetime black lung benefits to miners and their dependents for claims filed and approved after June 30, 1973.  There are approximately 750 black lung beneficiaries.

Assumptions for U.S. Retirement Obligations
We have made various assumptions to estimate the amount of payments to be made in the future.  The most significant assumptions include:
Discount rates and other assumptions in effect at measurement dates (normally December 31)
Investment returns of plan assets
Addition of new participants (historically immaterial due to freezing of pension benefits and exit from coal business)
Mortality rates
Change in laws

The assumptions used to estimate our U.S. retirement obligations can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 40 countries where we operate subsidiaries.  These operations expose us to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.  In addition, we consume various commodities in the normal course of business, exposing us to the effects of changes in the prices of such commodities. These financial and commodity exposures are monitored and managed by us as an integral part of our overall risk management program.  Our risk management program seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of certain markets may have on our operating results. We have not had any material change in our market risk exposures in the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is our principal executive officer, and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), who is our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, as of 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.
