Financial Health Signals
Based on FY2024 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores
Brinks Co has an operating margin of 9.0%, meaning the company retains $9 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 45/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from 8.7% the prior year.
Brinks Co's revenue grew a modest 2.8% year-over-year to $5.0B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 37/100.
Brinks Co has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 19.50), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 0/100, reflecting increased financial risk.
Brinks Co's current ratio of 1.52 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 41/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.
Brinks Co's free cash flow margin of 4.1% results in a low score of 20/100. Capital expenditures of $222.5M absorb a large share of operating cash flow.
Brinks Co earns a strong 88.1% return on equity (ROE), meaning it generates $88 of profit for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This efficient capital use earns a returns score of 100/100. This is up from 22.1% the prior year.
Brinks Co scores 1.74, below the 1.81 distress threshold. This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.
Brinks Co passes 8 of 9 financial strength tests. All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.
For every $1 of reported earnings, Brinks Co generates $2.62 in operating cash flow ($426.0M OCF vs $162.9M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.
Brinks Co earns $1.9 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($453.0M vs $235.4M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
