Our strategy is to grow Brink's by providing a superior customer experience and driving continuous improvement. We may not be successful in growing revenue in our services lines or in improving the cost to serve our customers through process improvements. We also may not be successful in strengthening and leveraging our IT capabilities to deliver tech-enabled services. If we are unable to achieve our strategic objectives and anticipated operating profit improvements, our results of operations and cash flows may be adversely affected.

Previous wording

While cash remains one of the most popular forms of consumer payment in the U.S. and globally, the growth of payment options other than cash could reduce the need for services related to cash, thereby affecting our financial results. We are developing new services that offer current and prospective customers with opportunities to streamline their cash processing, making cash more competitive with other forms of payment. There is a risk that these initiatives may not offset the risks associated with a decline in the overall share of cash payments and that our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be negatively impacted.

Brink’s Capital LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, is federally registered as a “Money Services Business” with the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN"). It is also currently registered and/or licensed—and may in the future be registered and/or licensed—as a “money transmitter” or similar designation with various state or local jurisdictions in the U.S. related to delivering future products and services. These registrations subject us to, among other things, having an effective anti-money laundering ("AML") compliance program, record-keeping requirements and reporting requirements, and examination by state and federal regulatory agencies. In Canada, as of July 1, 2024, Brink’s armoured transporation operations are subject to Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act as a federally registered “Money Services Business” with the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada ("FINTRAC"). This registration subjects us to, among other things, having an effective AML compliance program, record-keeping requirements and reporting requirements, and periodic examination by FINTRAC. These and our other regulatory obligations may significantly increase our costs or impact our operations. Our failure to comply with or any determination that we have violated any applicable laws or regulations could result in, among other things, substantial fines or revocation of our Money Services Business status, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Previous wording

We have substantial pension and retiree medical obligations, a portion of which have been funded. The amount of these obligations is significantly affected by factors that are not in our control, including interest rates used to determine the present value of future payment streams, investment returns, medical inflation rates, participation rates and changes in laws and regulations. The funded status of the primary U.S. pension plan was approximately 101% as of December 31, 2024. Based on our actuarial assumptions at the end of 2024, we do not expect to make contributions until 2027. A change in assumptions could result in funding obligations that could adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to use our resources to make acquisitions and to otherwise grow our business.

Based on our actuarial assumptions at the end of 2025, we do not expect to make contributions until 2046. A change in assumptions could result in funding obligations that could adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to use our resources to make acquisitions and to otherwise grow our business.

Previous wording

We have $274 million of actuarial losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at the end of 2024. These losses relate to changes in actuarial assumptions that have increased the net liability for benefit plans. These losses have not been recognized in earnings. These losses will be recognized in earnings in future periods to the extent they are not offset by future actuarial gains. Our projections of future cash requirements and expenses for these plans could be adversely affected if our retirement plans have additional actuarial losses.

Current wording

We have $275 million of actuarial losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at the end of 2025. These losses relate to changes in actuarial assumptions that have increased the net liability for benefit plans. These losses have not been recognized in earnings. These losses will be recognized in earnings in future periods to the extent they are not offset by future actuarial gains. Our projections of future cash requirements and expenses for these plans could be adversely affected if our retirement plans have additional actuarial losses.

Previous wording

Deferred tax assets are future tax deductions that result primarily from the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. At December 31, 2024, we had $183 million of U.S. deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, primarily related to our retirement plan obligations. These future tax deductions may not be realized if tax rules change in the future, or if forecasted U.S. operational results or any other U.S. projected future taxable income is insufficient. Consequently, not realizing our U.S. deferred tax assets may significantly and materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Current wording

Deferred tax assets are future tax deductions that result primarily from the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. At December 31, 2025, we had $179.8 million of U.S. deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, primarily related to our retirement plan obligations. These future tax deductions may not be realized if tax rules change in the future, or if forecasted U.S. operational results or any other U.S. projected future taxable income is insufficient. Consequently, not realizing our U.S. deferred tax assets may significantly and materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Previous wording

We rely on our information technology ("IT") infrastructure, including the Brink's Global Information Security ("GIS") Program, which is designed to reduce risk by ensuring that computer systems are secure through protecting networks, systems, hardware, and data to mitigate cybersecurity risk and efficiently run our business. If there were to be significant problems with our IT infrastructure, such as IT data center or system failures or unplanned system disruptions, failure to develop new technology platforms to support new initiatives and product and service offerings, or a failure of our GIS Program, it could halt or delay our ability to service our customers, hinder our ability to conduct and expand our business and require significant remediation costs. Remote work by our personnel and remote access to our systems have also increased significantly, which could increase our cybersecurity risk profile. We believe our cybersecurity risks will further increase as we expand services, complete mergers and acquisitions, and employ emerging technologies, mobile applications, third-party service providers and cloud-based services. Hacking, phishing attacks, ransomware, insider threats, physical breaches or other actions may cause confidential information belonging to Brink’s, its employees or customers to be misused. Moreover, the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to networks or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target. We may be unable to anticipate these emerging techniques, react in a timely manner, or implement adequate preventative measures. We have experienced cybersecurity incidents and unplanned system disruptions in the past, but none of these incidents or disruptions, individually or in the aggregate, have had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. A significant cybersecurity incident that impacts our system, application or data center that houses sensitive and confidential data, including, but not limited to, personally identifiable information and business sensitive information, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, such an incident may result in significant challenges and costs related to coordination with third-party service providers in order to resolve related issues.

Securing remote work by our personnel and remote access to our systems continues to be a priority as remote access to our systems represents a heightened level of cybersecurity risk to our business. We believe our cybersecurity risk profile will continue to expand as we broaden services, pursue mergers and acquisitions, and employ emerging technologies, mobile applications, third-party service providers and cloud-based services.

Previous wording

If our third-party providers do not respond in a timely manner to our needs, disaster recovery, business continuity and crisis management activities could be negatively impacted. We have programs in place that are intended to identify, protect against, detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity incidents and breaches and that provides employee awareness training regarding cyber risks; however, due to evolving and advanced sophisticated attackers, cyber attacks remain increasingly difficult to detect and we may need to allocate additional resources to continue to enhance our information security measures and/or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities. Cyber attacks and security breaches may also persist undetected over extended periods of time and may not be mitigated in a timely manner to minimize the impact of a cyber attacks or security breach. Any significant cybersecurity incident, involving Brink's or its third-party service providers, could damage our reputation, expose us to the risks of litigation and liability, disrupt our business or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Although the Company maintains cybersecurity insurance, the Company's insurance may not be adequate to cover all losses that may be incurred in the event of a significant disruption or failure of its information technology systems.

Previous wording

As a global company we must adhere to applicable laws and regulations in numerous regions regarding data privacy, data protection, and data security. Privacy and data protection laws vary between countries and are subject to interpretation, which may create inconsistent or conflicting requirements. For example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which became effective in May 2018, greatly increased the jurisdictional reach of European Union law. Since its inception, more geographies in which we operate have enacted laws similar to GDPR, including several countries in Asia and Latin America, as well as several states in the U.S. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”), which became effective on January 1, 2020, imposes stringent data privacy and data protection requirements regarding the personal information of California residents, and provides for penalties for noncompliance, as well as a private right of action from individuals for certain security breaches. Additionally, the California Privacy Rights Act, which became effective on January 1, 2023, significantly modified the CCPA and has resulted in further uncertainty. The GDPR and these other privacy and data protection laws impose requirements related to the handling of personal data, mandate public disclosure of certain data breaches, and provide for substantial penalties for non-compliance. Our efforts to comply with GDPR and other privacy and data protection laws may impose significant costs that are likely to increase over time. A breach of the GDPR or other such data protection regulations could result in regulatory investigations, reputational damages, fines and sanctions, orders to cease or change our processing of our data, enforcement notices, or assessment notices (for a compulsory audit). We could incur substantial penalties or be subject to litigation related to violation of existing or future data privacy laws, including representative actions and other class action-type litigation, which could amount to significant compensation or damages liabilities, as well as associated costs, diversion of internal resources, and reputational harm, all of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to document and test our internal control procedures and to provide a report by management on internal control over financial reporting, including management’s assessment of the effectiveness of such control. The Company had a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting identified during 2022, which was fully remediated by December 31, 2023; however, there can be no assurances that a material weakness will not occur in the future. Deficiencies, including any material weakness, in our internal control over financial reporting that may occur in the future could result in misstatements of our results of operations, restatements of our financial statements, a decline in our stock price, or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

Shareholder activism, which could take many forms and arise in a variety of situations, has been increasing among publicly traded companies. Shareholder activism, including potential proxy contests, requires significant time and attention by management and the Board, potentially hindering the Company’s ability to execute its strategic plan and negatively affecting the trading value of our common stock. Additionally, shareholder activism could give rise to perceived uncertainties as to the Company’s future direction, adversely affect its relationships with key executives, customers and other business partners, or make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel. If the Company is targeted by an activist shareholder, it could incur significant legal fees and other expenses related to activist shareholder matters. Any of these impacts could materially and adversely affect the Company and operating results.
