Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair value of financial instruments | Fair value of financial instruments Investments in Marketable Securities We have investments in mutual funds, equity securities and available-for-sale debt securities that are carried at fair value in the condensed financial statements and are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For these investments, fair value was based on quoted market prices, which we have categorized as a Level 1 valuation. Fixed-Rate Debt The fair value and carrying value of our material fixed-rate debt, excluding any unamortized debt issuance costs, are as follows:
(In millions) | September 30, 2025 |  | December 31, 2024
2027 Senior Unsecured Notes |  |  |
Carrying value | $ | 600.0 |  |  | 600.0 |
Fair value | 571.5 |  |  | 558.7 |
2029 Senior Unsecured Notes |  |  |
Carrying value | $ | 400.0 |  |  | 400.0 |
Fair value | 411.4 |  |  | 399.0 |
2032 Senior Unsecured Notes |  |  |
Carrying value | $ | 400.0 |  |  | 400.0 |
Fair value | 414.7 |  |  | 397.2 |
Pricing inputs for nonpublic debt are often not observable. The fair value estimates of our senior notes reflect unobservable estimates and assumptions, which we have categorized as a Level 3 valuation. Our fair value estimates were based on the present value of future cash flows, discounted at rates for public debt at the measurement date. The rates for public debt were additionally adjusted for a factor which represented the change in the interest spreads between the inception rates and the public debt rates at the measurement date. Forward and Swap Contracts The fair values of our forward and swap contracts are based on the present value of net future cash payments and receipts, as well as inputs related to forward interest rates and forward currency rates that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data, which we have categorized as a Level 2 valuation. Economic Hedges We have outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies. At September 30, 2025, the notional value of our outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $773 million, with average maturities of approximately one month. These 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. Cash flows related to economic hedges are reported in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows based on the nature of the underlying items being hedged. For the periods presented, such cash flows are reported in operating activities or investing activities. The fair value of these contracts were recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as follows:
(In millions) | September 30, 2025 |  | December 31, 2024
Prepaid expenses and other | $ | 5.6 |  |  | 19.0 |
Accrued liabilities | (2.1) |  |  | (10.1) |
Net asset | $ | 3.5 |  |  | 8.9 |
Amounts under these contracts were recognized in other operating income (expense) as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in millions) | 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | 2024
Derivative instrument gains (losses) included in other operating income (expense)(a) | $ | 11.3 |  |  | (39.4) |  |  | $ | (23.9) |  |  | (38.1) |
(a)Derivative instrument losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and derivative instrument gains in the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods are primarily due to the impact of hedging currency exposures on intercompany loans denominated in the euro, the British pound, and the Mexican peso. Net Investment Hedges We have entered into cross currency swaps and foreign exchange forward swap contracts to hedge a portion of our net investments in certain of our subsidiaries with euro and Hong Kong dollar functional currencies. We elected to use the spot method to assess effectiveness for these derivatives that are designated as net investment hedges for accounting purposes. 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 the cross currency swaps. In 2023, we entered into a zero cost foreign exchange collar contract with a $215 million notional amount and a May 2026 expiration date. We sold a put option with a lower strike price and bought a call option with a higher strike price to manage the foreign exchange risk related to the final settlement of the $215 million notional cross currency swaps. Upon the execution of the zero cost foreign exchange collar contract, we de-designated the existing $215 million notional cross currency swaps and re-designated the combined $215 million notional cross currency swaps and zero cost collar into a new hedging instrument. At re-designation, the existing $215 million notional cross currency swaps had a non-zero fair value representing an off-market component of the participating cross currency swaps. The off-market value is being ratably amortized into earnings through May 2026. The combined cross currency swaps and zero cost collar has been designated as a net investment hedge for accounting purposes. The fair value of these contracts were recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as follows:
(In millions) | September 30, 2025 |  | December 31, 2024
Euro net investment hedge(a) |  |  |
Prepaid expenses and other | $ | 2.1 |  |  | 5.7 |
Accrued liabilities | (35.0) |  |  | — |
Other noncurrent liabilities | (29.5) |  |  | (21.7) |
Zero cost collar |  |  |
Prepaid expenses and other | $ | 0.6 |  |  | — |
Other noncurrent asset | — |  |  | 3.1 |
Hong Kong dollar net investment hedge(b) |  |  |
Prepaid expenses and other | $ | 0.3 |  |  | 0.1 |
Net liability | $ | (61.5) |  |  | (12.8) |
(a)At September 30, 2025, swaps with a total notional value of $215 million will terminate in May 2026 and have a weighted average maturity of 0.6 years. Swaps with a total notional value of $185 million will terminate in April 2031 and have a weighted average maturity of 5.0 years. (b)At September 30, 2025, the total notional value was $55 million with a weighted average maturity of 0.1 years. The effect of the amortization of the spot-forward difference on the net investment hedges cross currency swaps and foreign exchange forward swap contract is included as a benefit in interest expense as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions) | 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | 2024
Cross currency swaps designated as net investment hedges | $ | (1.2) |  |  | (1.2) |  |  | $ | (3.6) |  |  | (3.5) |
Cash flows related to the amortization of the off-market component of net investment hedges are reported in investing activities. Cash flows from the termination and final settlement of net investment hedges are reported in investing activities. All other cash flows from net investment hedges are reported in operating activities. Interest Rate Swaps - Cash Flow Hedges We have periodically entered into interest rate swaps to hedge cash flow risk associated with changes in variable interest rates and we have designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedges are initially recorded in the gains (losses) on cash flow hedges component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We reclassify amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings in the same periods that the hedged debt affects earnings. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we elected to early terminate interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $775 million and we received approximately $19 million in cash proceeds upon termination. The cash proceeds for terminating the swaps were reported as cash flows from operating activities. In the first and third quarters of 2025, we entered into interest rate swaps totaling $150 million in notional value, all maturing in June 2027. The fair values of our interest rate swaps were recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as follows:
(In millions) | September 30, 2025 |  | December 31, 2024
$100 million notional - June 2027 maturity (a) |  |  |
Accrued liabilities | $ | (0.1) |  |  | — |
Other noncurrent liabilities | (0.4) |  |  | — |
$50 million notional - June 2027 maturity (a) |  |  |
Other noncurrent liabilities | $ | (0.1) |  |  | — |
Net liability | $ | (0.6) |  |  | — |
(a)At September 30, 2025, swaps with a total notional value of $150 million will terminate in June 2027 and have a weighted average maturity of 0.9 years. Amounts under our interest rate swap contracts were recognized in interest expense as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions) | 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | 2024
Impact to interest expense - (benefit) cost | $ | (1.7) |  |  | (4.6) |  |  | $ | (6.3) |  |  | (14.3) |
Cash flows related to interest rate swaps are reported as operating activities. Contingent Consideration In the second quarter of 2020, we acquired cash management operations in Malaysia from U.K.-based G4S Plc ("G4S") and have recorded a payable for contingent consideration. The contingent consideration will be paid when minimum dividend distributions are received by Brink's relating to cash on the balance sheets of the Malaysia subsidiaries as of the acquisition date. We used a probability-weighted approach to estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration. The fair value of the contingent consideration is the full $24 million that remains potentially payable as of September 30, 2025, as we believe it is unlikely that the contingent consideration payments will be reduced. Other Financial Instruments Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, floating rate debt, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The financial statement carrying amounts of these items approximate the fair value. There were no transfers in or out of any of the levels of the valuation hierarchy in the first nine months of 2025.
