Brink’s Provides Business Update in Advance of Baird Investor Conference

Management Affirms 2021 Guidance Based on April Year-to-Date Revenue Recovery to 96% of Pre-Pandemic Levels, Provides Preliminary Outlook for 2022

RICHMOND, Va., June 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Brink’s Company (NYSE:BCO) announced today that it affirmed its 2021 guidance including revenue growth of 21% to approximately $4.45 billion at the midpoint, which is up 10% on an organic basis. The company expects 2021 adjusted EBITDA growth of 25% to approximately $705 million. In 2022, management is targeting organic revenue growth of 5% to 7%, adjusted EBITDA growth in the mid-teens to a range between $785 million and $825 million, and free cash flow growth of more than 50% to a range between $350 million and $400 million. The company provided the update in advance of its June 8 participation in the 2021 Baird Global Consumer, Technology and Services Conference.

Doug Pertz, president and chief executive officer, said: “Based on improving economic trends in most of our major markets, and the continued strong use of cash as a major method of payment, we continue to expect an accelerating recovery from the global pandemic. On an organic basis, excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange, year-to-date revenue through April has recovered to 96% of pre-pandemic 2019 pro forma levels.

“We are particularly encouraged by the fact that our revenue recovery through April was achieved despite unforeseen pandemic-related shutdowns in several European and South American countries. We expect revenue and profit growth to accelerate as we move through 2021, especially in the second half. Our confidence is based on a continued global economic recovery, growing contributions from the G4S and PAI acquisitions, the impact of our cost reductions, and normal seasonality.

“Our 2021 guidance, and our expected post-pandemic return to mid-single-digit organic revenue growth and double-digit profit growth, are driven primarily by our core operations. Our strategy 2.0 digital initiatives, with the exception of the PAI acquisition, are not included in our current outlook for 2021 or 2022, though we expect these initiatives to drive additional organic revenue and profit growth in 2022 and beyond. We plan to disclose additional financial targets for 2022 and 2023 at our Investor Day event in November.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 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.

The outlook for 2021 and 2022 Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA cannot be reconciled to GAAP without unreasonable effort. We cannot reconcile this amount to GAAP because we are unable to accurately forecast the impact of highly inflationary accounting on our Argentina operations and 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 on our Argentina operations and other potential Non-GAAP adjusting items could be significant to our GAAP results.
