The higher costs primarily resulted from increased charges for insurance and security losses ($9.4 million), higher net compensation costs ($4.2 million), a reduction in currency transaction gains ($3.1 million) and higher technology costs ($2.6 million). Corporate expenses for the first nine months of 2024 increased $1.0 million versus the prior year period.

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 the first nine months of 2024, we recognized $23.8 million in pretax charges in operating profit related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $11.9 million. In the first nine months of 2023, we recognized $30.3 million in pretax charges in operating profit related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $23.9 million. Highly inflationary adjustments also impact gains and losses on marketable securities due to the change in exchange rates. These non-cash charges are not 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.

Previous wording
Transformation initiatives During 2023, we initiated a multi-year program intended to accelerate growth and drive margin expansion through transformation of our business model in the U.S., with expectations to then leverage the transformation changes and learnings globally. The program is designed to help us standardize our commercial and operational systems and processes, drive continuous improvement and achieve operational excellence. Accordingly, we incurred $5.5 million of expense in 2023 and an additional $21.5 million in the first nine months of 2024. The transformation costs primarily include third party professional services and project management charges. These costs relate to a discrete program and are not reflective of our ongoing operating cost structure, and are not indicative of our core operating expenses or normal activities. Additionally, 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.

Previous wording
Department of Justice investigation During the first nine months of 2024, we accrued $7.7 million in connection with a U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") investigation. This amount represents an estimate for a potential resolution, as well as third-party legal costs associated with this matter. In the third quarter of 2024, we determined it was appropriate to exclude third-party costs associated with this matter from non-GAAP results, which for the current quarter consisted of legal costs. In August 2020, the Company received a subpoena issued in connection with the DOJ investigation, primarily related to cross-border shipments of cash and things of value and anti-money laundering (“AML”) compliance. Subsequently, in March 2024, as is commonly the case with this type of matter, the Company received a Notice of Investigation from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) related to Bank Secrecy Act/AML compliance that involves substantially the same conduct that is subject to the DOJ’s investigation. These costs are not considered part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Additionally, the nature of these amounts, including both the estimate for a potential resolution and associated third-party costs, and the underlying investigation are such that they are not reasonably likely to recur within two years, nor were there similar charges within the prior two years. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, these amounts have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results and are excluded from non-GAAP results. See Note 14 for details.

See Note 13 for details.

Chile antitrust matter We recognized an estimated loss of $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2021. In the first nine months of 2024, we recognized a $1.1 million adjustment and, in the first nine months of 2023, a $0.4 million adjustment to the estimated loss. The post-2021 adjustments were primarily related to changes in currency rates as well as third-party legal costs associated with this matter. In the third quarter of 2024, we determined it was appropriate to exclude third-party costs associated with this matter from non-GAAP results, which for the current quarter primarily consisted of legal costs. Overall, these charges related to a potential fine associated with an investigation by the Chilean Fiscalía Nacional Económica or "FNE" (the Chilean antitrust agency). The investigation is related to potential anti-competitive practices among competitors in the cash logistics industry in Chile. These costs are not considered part of the Company's operations and revenue generating activities. Additionally, the nature of these amounts, including the estimated loss and associated third-party costs, is such that they are not reasonably likely to recur within two years, nor were there similar charges within the prior two years of the underlying event. Management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance. Therefore, these amounts have not been allocated to segment or Corporate results and are excluded from non-GAAP results. See Note 14 for details.

See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of how we account for currency remeasurement for Argentine subsidiaries, beginning July 1, 2018 under the heading, "Argentina".
Current wording
At March 31, 2025, Argentina's economy remained highly inflationary for accounting purposes. See Note 1 for more details about our Argentina operations including a description of how we account for currency remeasurement for our Argentine subsidiaries and the potential impacts of converting local currency into U.S. dollars.
Previous wording
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 relative to certain currencies has reduced some of our reported U.S. dollar revenues and operating profit and may continue through the end of 2024.
Current wording
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. Future fluctuations in exchange rates could have either a positive or negative impact on our financial results.
Previous wording
Changes in exchange rates may also affect transactions that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. From time to time, we use short term foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies. At September 30, 2024, the notional value of our short term outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $1,001 million, with average contract maturities of approximately one month. These short term foreign currency forward and swap contracts primarily offset exposures in the euro, the British pound and the Mexican peso and are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded immediately in earnings. At September 30, 2024, the fair value of our short term foreign currency contracts was a net liability of approximately $13.2 million, of which $2.6 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $15.8 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of these foreign currency contracts was a net liability of approximately $1.1 million, of which $8.7 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $9.8 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Previous wording
In the second quarter of 2021, we entered into ten cross currency swaps to hedge a portion of our net investments in certain of our subsidiaries with euro functional currencies. We elected to use the spot method to assess effectiveness for these derivatives that are designated as net investment hedges. Accordingly, changes in fair value attributable to changes in the undiscounted spot rates are recorded in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will remain there until the hedged net investments are sold or substantially liquidated. We have elected to exclude the spot-forward difference from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are amortizing this amount separately on a straight-line basis over the term of these cross currency swaps.

The decrease in the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the three months ended September 30, 2024, in comparison to the three months ended September 30, 2023, is primarily attributable to lower third quarter 2024 operating results reported by certain subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned. The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, in comparison to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, is primarily attributable to lower 2024 operating results reported by certain subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned.

Consolidated Costs and Expenses Cost of revenues increased 2% to $943.6 million primarily due to the impact of higher revenue partially offset by the impact of exchange rates. Selling, general and administrative costs increased 19% to $202.3 million primarily due to organic increases in labor costs and costs related to transformation initiatives, partially offset by the impact of currency exchange rates and lower acquisition and restructuring related costs.
Previous report — wording carried elsewhere
Revenues decreased ($1.6 million) due to the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($362.5 million), primarily from the Argentine peso, mostly offset by a 36% organic increase ($360.9 million). The organic increase was driven by inflation-based price increases across the segment with a majority of the impact from Argentina, as well as growth in AMS and DRS revenue. Operating profit decreased 2% ($4.1 million) due to the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($117.5 million), mostly offset by a 57% organic increase ($113.4 million). The organic increase was driven by higher revenue which outpaced the impact of labor and other cost increases.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we entered into a foreign exchange forward swap contract to hedge a portion of our net investments in certain of our subsidiaries with Hong Kong dollar functional currencies. As the contract is designated as a net investment hedge for accounting purposes, we will use the spot method to assess effectiveness of this derivative contract. We will record changes in fair value attributable to changes in the Hong Kong dollar undiscounted spot rates in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) with amounts remaining in accumulated comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged net investments are sold or substantially liquidated. We have elected to exclude the spot-forward difference from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are amortizing this amount separately on a straight-line basis over the term of the foreign exchange forward swap contract.
