Brink's Delivers Strong Third-Quarter Results
Nine-month operating cash flow fell to $154.8 million from $265.9 million despite higher revenue.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
Brink’s (BCO) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $1,375 million, with growth in ATM managed services and digital retail solutions. Revenue increased 3% year over year, with 4% organic growth and over 16% organic growth in those two businesses. GAAP operating profit fell 14% to $131 million; net income attributable to Brink’s declined 60% to $15 million, and earnings per share fell 59% to $0.35. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP earnings measure, rose 8% to $274 million, while non-GAAP earnings per share increased 18% to $2.46.
Brink’s expects its NCR Atleos acquisition to close in early January 2027 and anticipates realizing synergies sooner than originally planned against its original $200 million target. Fourth-quarter guidance calls for revenue of $1,365–$1,415 million, adjusted EBITDA of $275–$295 million and non-GAAP earnings per share of $2.45–$2.80.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

NCR Atleos acquisition now expected to close in early January 2027
RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Brink’s Company (NYSE:BCO), a leading global provider of cash and valuables management, digital retail solutions ("DRS"), and ATM managed services ("AMS"), today announced third-quarter results.

Growth in these lines of business accelerated sequentially, even against a challenging economic backdrop in many of our larger markets. Adjusted EBITDA grew
"We are making strong progress toward closing our acquisition of NCR Atleos. With increasing clarity and momentum on the regulatory front, including the recent developments with the CMA in the United Kingdom, we now expect to close the acquisition in early January 2027. Early customer reaction has been positive, and we are energized by the interest from financial institutions and retailers across multiple geographies. Our joint integration planning teams are accelerating day one readiness and continue to identify additional cost synergy opportunities. We now expect to realize synergies sooner than originally planned and have identified additional opportunities that increase confidence in our original

2026 Non-GAAP Framework and Q4 2026 Non-GAAP Guidance (Unaudited)
(In millions, except for percentages and per share amounts)
In 2026, management has included additional guidance to better help investors understand currency impacts on our results. Management believes organic revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA margin expansion and free cash flow conversion performance, provided in our 2026 framework, gives investors better visibility into the performance of our business. In addition to our full-year 2026 framework, we have added quarterly guidance for revenue, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS in 2026 to clarify the expected impact of near-term currency trends and volatile economic conditions on our results. When, and if, currency volatility lessens, management may return to the previous annual guidance methodology. Revenue guidance is presented in accordance with GAAP.

The Q4 2026 non-GAAP guidance cannot be reconciled to GAAP without unreasonable effort, as we are unable to accurately forecast certain amounts that are necessary for reconciliation, including the impact of highly inflationary accounting on our Argentina operations, expenses relating to M&A transactions that may or may not occur in the quarter, and other potential non-GAAP adjusting items for which the timing and amounts are uncertain. The Q4 2026 non-GAAP guidance assumes the continuation of current economic trends and reflects management's current assumptions regarding variables that are difficult to accurately forecast, including those discussed in the Risk Factors set forth in the Company's filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Other Items Not Allocated To Segments (Unaudited)
(In millions)
Income and expenses not allocated to segments are reported either as “Corporate Expenses” or “Other Items not Allocated to Segments.”
Corporate Expenses include costs to manage the global business and perform activities required by public companies as well as other items that are considered part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities but are not considered when the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") evaluates segment results. Examples include corporate staff compensation, corporate headquarters costs, regional management costs, share-based compensation, and currency transaction gains and losses.
Other Items not Allocated to Segments include income and expenses that are not necessary to operate our business in the ordinary course and are not considered when the CODM evaluates segment results. These include non-recurring as well as certain recurring costs and gains which are not considered to be part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Each of the items in the “Other Items Not Allocated to Segments” category is excluded from non-GAAP measures.
See below for a summary of the other items not allocated to segments.
Reorganization and Restructuring
Costs associated with certain reorganization and restructuring actions were excluded from reported non-GAAP results. These items included primarily severance charges and asset impairment losses. These costs related to global restructuring initiatives, completed in prior years, mainly to mitigate the impact of external economic conditions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the unusual nature of the underlying events that led to these actions, the charges are not considered part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. As such, they have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results and are excluded from non-GAAP results.
Acquisitions and dispositions
Certain acquisition and disposition items are not part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. These items include non-cash amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets, as well as integration, transaction, restructuring and certain compensation costs. All of the items are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of our acquisitions and dispositions, and many are inconsistent in amount and frequency. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, we have not allocated these amounts to segment or Corporate results and have excluded these amounts from non-GAAP results.
These items are described below:
2026 Acquisitions and Dispositions
- Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was
$43.3 million in the first nine months of 2026. - Net gain of
$16.1 million relating to the deconsolidation of our Malaysia subsidiaries.
2025 Acquisitions and Dispositions
- Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was
$58.9 million in 2025. - Restructuring costs related to acquisitions were
$11.8 million in 2025. - Net charges of
$2.2 million were incurred for post-acquisition adjustments to indemnification assets related to previous business acquisitions. - We incurred
$3.8 million in integration costs in 2025. - Transaction costs related to business acquisitions were
$2.7 million in 2025.
Argentina highly inflationary impact Beginning in the third quarter of 2018, we designated Argentina's economy as highly inflationary for accounting purposes. As a result, Argentine peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are now remeasured at each balance sheet date to the currency exchange rate then in effect, with currency remeasurement gains and losses recognized in earnings. In addition, nonmonetary assets retain a higher historical basis when the currency is devalued. The higher historical basis results in incremental expense being recognized when the nonmonetary assets are consumed. In 2025, we recognized
NCR Atleos acquisition and transformation initiatives On February 26, 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire NCR Atleos. The transaction is now expected to close in early January 2027, subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. This acquisition represents a significant strategic step for Brink’s, expanding the scale of the combined company and supporting continued growth in our AMS and DRS offerings, which reflect an increasing portion of our business mix.
During 2023, we initiated a multi-year program intended to accelerate growth and drive margin expansion through transformation of our business model. The program is designed to help us standardize and streamline our commercial and operational systems and processes, as well as back-office functions, including finance and information technology. The efforts will drive continuous improvement and achieve operational excellence.
Accordingly, we incurred
Incident-related losses In the first nine months of 2026, we recognized losses of
Non-routine legal matters In the first nine months of 2026, we recognized
DOJ/FinCEN investigations During 2025, we accrued
Chile antitrust matter We recognized an estimated loss of
Non-routine auto loss matter In 2023, a Brink’s employee was involved in a motor vehicle accident with unique circumstances that resulted in the death of a third party and, in connection with the ensuing litigation, Brink’s recognized a

Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations to GAAP Measures (Unaudited)
(In millions, except for percentages and per share amounts)
Non-GAAP measures described below and included in this press release are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. The purpose of the disclosure of these non-GAAP measures 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.
These 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. The reconciliations in the tables below include adjustments that we do not consider reflective of our operating performance as they result from events and circumstances that are not a part of our core business. Additionally, certain non-GAAP results, including non-GAAP operating profit and free cash flow before dividends, are utilized as performance measures in certain management incentive compensation plans.
Non-GAAP results should not be considered as an alternative to results determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with their GAAP counterparts. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.
The items excluded from non-GAAP measures are considered by us to be nonrecurring, infrequent or unusual costs and gains or not considered part of our operations and revenue generating activities. Non-recurring and infrequent items are items that are not reasonably expected to recur in the following two years.
In addition to the rationale described above, we believe the following non-GAAP metrics are helpful to investors in assessing results of operations consistent with how our management evaluates performance:
- Non-GAAP operating profit and Non-GAAP operating profit margin: Non-GAAP operating profit equals GAAP operating profit excluding Other Items not Allocated to Segments. Non-GAAP operating margin equals non-GAAP operating profit divided by revenues.
- Non-GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to Brink's: This measure equals GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to Brink's excluding Other Items not Allocated to Segments as well as certain retirement plan expenses/gains, taxes on return of capital, impairment of certain debt securities, and unusual adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances.
- Earnings Before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA is calculated by starting with net income attributable to Brink's and adding back the amounts for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA equals EBITDA excluding the applicable impacts of Other Items not Allocated to Segments as well as certain retirement plan expenses/gains, taxes on return of capital, impairment of certain debt securities, unusual adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances, income tax rate adjustments, share-based compensation and marketable securities (gain) loss.
- Non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to Brink's common shareholders: This measure equals non-GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to Brink's divided by diluted shares.
- Organic change and organic growth: Organic change represents the change in revenues or operating profit between the current and prior period excluding the effect of acquisitions and dispositions for one year after the transaction and changes in currency exchange rates. Organic growth is the percentage change of organic growth versus the prior year amount.
- Impact of acquisitions/dispositions: This measure represents the impact of acquisitions or dispositions without a full year of reported results in either comparable period.
- Currency effect: This measure consists of the effects of Argentina devaluations under highly inflationary accounting and the sum of monthly currency changes. Monthly currency changes represent the accumulation throughout the year of the impact on current period results of changes in foreign currency rates from the prior year period.
- Non-GAAP pre-tax income, Non-GAAP income tax and Non-GAAP effective income tax rate: Non-GAAP pre-tax income and non-GAAP income tax equal their GAAP counterparts excluding the applicable impacts of Other Items not Allocated to Segments as well as certain retirement plan expenses/gains. Non-GAAP effective income tax rate equals non-GAAP income tax divided by non-GAAP pre-tax income.
In addition to the rationale described above, we believe the following non-GAAP metrics are helpful in assessing cash flow and financial leverage consistent with how our management evaluates performance:
- Free cash flow before dividends: Free cash flow before dividends is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents management’s calculation of cash flows that are available for capital and investing activities such as paying dividends, share repurchases, debt, acquisition and other investments. We define free cash flow before dividends as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, adjusted to exclude certain operating activities related to cash that is not available for corporate purposes, including the impact of cash flows from restricted cash held for customers, as well as cash received and processed in certain of our secure cash management services operations. The resulting amount is further adjusted to include the impact of cash flows related to property and equipment used to operate our business, including capital expenditures, cash proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, as well as lessor debt financing. Free cash flow before dividends also excludes the cash impact of transaction costs related to the NCR Atleos acquisition.
Reconciliations of Non-GAAP to GAAP Measures
Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures in the tables below. Amounts reported for prior periods have been updated in this press release to present information consistently for all periods presented. Most of the reconciling adjustments are described in Other Items Not Allocated to Segments above on pages 11-12. Additional reconciling items include the following:
Retirement plans We incur costs, such as interest expense and amortization of actuarial gains and losses, associated with certain retirement plans that have been frozen to new entrants. Furthermore, we also incur non-cash settlement charges and curtailment gains related to all of our retirement plans. These costs and gains are not considered to be part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, they are excluded from non-GAAP results.
Valuation allowance on tax credits Gains and charges related to major tax law changes are not considered to be part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. As a result of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, we increased a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and recorded a significant income tax expense in the third quarter of 2025. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, they are excluded from non-GAAP results.
Tax on return of capital As a result of lifted foreign exchange controls and the official and unofficial foreign exchange rates convergence in Argentina, we were able to make an unusual and infrequent return of capital. Due to Argentinian tax law, a withholding tax was imposed on the return of capital. This withholding tax is not considered to be part of the Company’s operations and revenue generating activities. Management has excluded this amount when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, it is excluded from non-GAAP results.
Change in restricted cash held for customers Restricted cash held for customers is not available for general corporate purposes such as payroll, vendor invoice payments, debt repayment, or capital expenditures. Because the cash is not available to support the Company's operations and revenue generating activities, management excludes the changes in the restricted cash held for customers balance when assessing cash flows from operations. We believe that the exclusion of the change in restricted cash held for customers from our non-GAAP operating cash flows measure is helpful to users of the financial statements as it presents this financial measure consistent with how management assesses this liquidity measure.
Change in certain customer obligations The 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 is thus not available for general corporate purposes. Because the cash is not available to support our operations and revenue generating activities, management excludes the changes in this specific cash balance when assessing cash flows from operations. We believe that the exclusion of the change in this cash balance from our non-GAAP operating cash flows measure is helpful to the users of our financial statements as it presents this financial measure consistent with how our management assesses this liquidity measure.
NCR Atleos acquisition cash flows This represents the cash outflows during the period related to NCR Atleos acquisition-related transaction costs, such as fees to attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors.

FAQ
AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
What were Brink’s BCO third-quarter 2026 earnings?
Brink’s reported GAAP earnings per share of $0.35, down 59% year over year, on revenue of $1,375 million, up 3%. Non-GAAP earnings per share increased 18% to $2.46, while adjusted EBITDA rose 8% to $274 million.
When does Brink’s expect the NCR Atleos acquisition to close?
Brink’s expects the NCR Atleos acquisition to close in early January 2027. The company also expects to realize synergies sooner than originally planned and has identified additional opportunities that increase its confidence in the original $200 million target.
What is Brink’s full-year 2026 financial framework?
Brink’s maintains a 2026 framework of mid-single-digit organic revenue growth, with mid-to-high teens organic growth in ATM managed services and digital retail solutions. Its framework also targets adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of 30–50 basis points and free cash flow conversion of 40–45%.
Why is Brink’s not reconciling fourth-quarter 2026 non-GAAP guidance to GAAP?
Brink’s cannot reconcile its fourth-quarter non-GAAP guidance to GAAP without unreasonable effort because certain adjustment amounts cannot be accurately forecast. These include highly inflationary accounting effects in Argentina, expenses for mergers and acquisitions that may or may not occur during the quarter, and other adjustments with uncertain timing and amounts.
