GAAP Basis
Analysis of Consolidated Results: 2024 versus 2023
Consolidated Revenues Revenues increased $137.3 million due to organic increases in Latin America ($461.8 million), Europe ($82.3 million), North America ($36.6 million), and Rest of World ($20.7 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($23.7 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($487.8 million). The unfavorable currency impact was driven primarily by the Argentine peso. Revenues increased 12% on an organic basis primarily due to inflation-based price increases and growth in AMS and DRS revenue. See below for our definition of “organic change” and "organic growth."
Consolidated Costs and Expenses Cost of revenues increased 1% to $3,743.1 million primarily due to higher revenue partially offset by the impact of currency exchange rates. Selling, general and administrative costs increased 21.3% to $834.5 million primarily due to organic increases in labor and other administrative costs, costs incurred in connection with the resolutions of the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN") investigations (see Note 23), and costs related to transformation initiatives, partially offset by the the impact of currency exchange rates.
Consolidated Operating Profit and Operating Profit Margin Operating profit margin increased from 8.7% to 9.0%. Operating profit increased $27.8 million due mainly to:
organic increases in Latin America ($149.0 million), Europe ($12.2 million), North America ($7.6 million), and Rest of World ($5.6 million),
lower costs incurred related to reorganization and restructuring ($16.1 million),
lower costs related to business acquisitions and dispositions ($8.6 million), including the impact of acquisition-related charges, included in "Other items not allocated to segments", and
favorable operating impact of business acquisitions ($1.7 million), excluding intangible amortization and acquisition-related charges,
partially offset by:
unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates ($96.5 million) primarily driven by the Argentine peso,
higher costs in connection with the resolutions of DOJ/FinCEN investigations ($45.7 million),
higher transformation initiative costs ($22.9 million), and
higher corporate expenses on an organic basis ($12.4 million).
Consolidated Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to Brink’s and Related Per Share Amounts Income from continuing operations attributable to Brink’s shareholders increased $75.8 million to $161.8 million due to lower income tax expense ($46.5 million), higher interest and other nonoperating income ($34.3 million), and the increase in operating profit mentioned above, partially offset by higher interest expense ($31.6 million). Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $3.61, up from $1.83 in 2023.
Non-GAAP Basis
Analysis of Consolidated Results: 2024 versus 2023

These non-GAAP measures are described in more detail on page 34 and are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures on pages 35-38.
Non-GAAP Consolidated Operating Profit and Non-GAAP Operating Profit Margin Non-GAAP operating profit margin was 12.6%. Non-GAAP operating profit increased $14.4 million due mainly to:
organic increases in Latin America ($149.0 million), Europe ($12.2 million), North America ($7.6 million), and Rest of World ($5.6 million) and
the favorable operating impact of business acquisitions ($1.7 million), excluding intangible amortization and acquisition-related charges,
partially offset by:
unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates ($149.3 million), driven primarily by the Argentine peso, and
higher corporate expenses on an organic basis ($12.4 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 decreased $23.2 million to $321.4 million due to higher interest expense ($32.4 million), lower interest and other nonoperating income ($20.6 million), and higher noncontrolling interest ($1.2 million), partially offset by lower income tax expense ($16.6 million) and the operating profit increase mentioned above. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $7.17, down from $7.35 in 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA increased 5% to $911.9 million primarily due to the increase in non-GAAP operating profit ($14.4 million), excluding the impact of higher non-GAAP depreciation and amortization ($11.6 million).

Analysis of Segment Results: 2024 versus 2023
North America
Revenues increased 3% ($48.6 million) primarily due to a 2% organic increase ($36.6 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($13.9 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($1.9 million) from the Canadian dollar. Organic revenue increased primarily due to price increases and growth in AMS and DRS revenue in the U.S., partially offset by lower BGS revenue. Operating profit increased ($8.8 million), primarily due to a 4% organic increase ($7.6 million). The organic increase was primarily driven by the net impact of revenue mix and cost productivity improvements from transformation initiatives in the U.S., partially offset by technology and operational investments.
Latin America
Revenues decreased 2% ($21.3 million) primarily due to the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($485.3 million), primarily from the Argentine peso, mostly offset by a 35% organic increase ($461.8 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($2.2 million). The organic increase was driven by inflation-based price increases across the segment and growth in AMS and DRS revenue. Operating profit decreased 3% ($8.0 million) due to the unfavorable currency exchange rates ($156.9 million) largely offset by a 53% organic increase ($149.0 million).

Europe

The organic increase was primarily due to price increases throughout the segment and the growth of AMS and DRS revenue. Operating profit increased ($12.9 million) primarily due to an organic increase ($12.2 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($0.8 million). The organic increase was primarily driven by higher revenue which outpaced the impact of labor and other cost increases and the revenue mix benefit of higher AMS and DRS revenue.
Rest of World
Revenues increased 2% ($19.4 million) due a 3% organic increase ($20.7 million). The organic increase was primarily due to growth in AMS and DRS. Operating profit increased $4.5 million primarily due to a 3% organic increase ($5.6 million). The organic increase was primarily due to the revenue mix benefit of higher AMS and DRS revenue.
