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) | June 30, 2026 |  | December 31, 2025
2027 Senior Unsecured Notes |  |  |
Carrying value | $ | 600.0 |  |  | 600.0 |
Fair value | 579.1 |  |  | 579.0 |
2029 Senior Unsecured Notes |  |  |
Carrying value | $ | 400.0 |  |  | 400.0 |

2032 Senior Unsecured Notes |  |  |
Carrying value | $ | 400.0 |  |  | 400.0 |
Fair value | 406.3 |  |  | 416.0 |
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 June 30, 2026, the notional value of our outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $664 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) | June 30, 2026 |  | December 31, 2025
Prepaid expenses and other | $ | 7.9 |  |  | 4.2 |
Accrued liabilities | (3.0) |  |  | (5.3) |
Net asset (liability) | $ | 4.9 |  |  | (1.1) |
Amounts under these contracts were recognized in other operating income (expense) as follows:
| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions) | 2026 |  | 2025 |  | 2026 |  | 2025
Derivative instrument gains (losses) included in other operating income (expense)(a) | $ | 5.7 |  |  | (22.6) |  |  | $ | 16.1 |  |  | (35.2) |
(a)Derivative instrument gains in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2026, were primarily driven by the impact of hedging currency exposures on intercompany loans denominated in the euro, the British pound, and the Mexican peso. Derivative instrument losses in the three month and six month ended June 30, 2025, were primarily driven by the impact of hedging currency exposures on intercompany loans denominated in the euro and the British pound. 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 other 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 the second quarter of 2026, we terminated a zero-cost foreign exchange collar contract with $215 million notional amount and restructured $215 million notional euro cross-currency swaps, extending their maturity from May, 2026 to April, 2027. Upon execution, we de-designated the then-existing swaps and re-designated the new swaps as a net investment hedge. The swaps had a non-zero fair value at re-designation, representing an off-market component that is being amortized into earnings through April, 2027. The fair value of these contracts were recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as follows:
(In millions) | June 30, 2026 |  | December 31, 2025
Euro net investment hedge(a) |  |  |
Prepaid expenses and other | $ | 2.1 |  |  | 2.1 |

Net asset (liability) | $ | (54.8) |  |  | (61.3) |
(a)At June 30, 2026, swaps with a total notional value of $215 million will terminate in April 2027 and have a weighted average maturity of 0.8 years. Swaps with a total notional value of $185 million will terminate in April 2031 and have a weighted average maturity of 4.3 years. (b)At June 30, 2026, the total notional value was $145 million with a weighted average maturity of 1.0 years. These contracts hedge portions of our net investments in subsidiaries with functional currencies of Hong Kong dollar; Singapore dollar; Japanese yen; Israeli shekel; Swiss franc; and Canadian dollar. 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 June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions) | 2026 |  | 2025 |  | 2026 |  | 2025
Cross currency swaps designated as net investment hedges | $ | (1.3) |  |  | (1.2) |  |  | $ | (2.8) |  |  | (2.4) |
Cash flows related to the amortization of the off-market component of net investment hedges, as well as cash flows from the termination and final settlement of such hedges, are generally classified as investing activities. Due to the presence of a more-than-insignificant financing element at the restructuring date, all cash flows related to the restructured $215 million notional euro cross-currency swaps, including periodic interest receipts and payments and any settlement at maturity, are classified as financing activities. Other cash flows associated with net investment hedges are classified as 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 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) | June 30, 2026 |  | December 31, 2025
$100 million notional - June 2027 maturity (a) |  |  |
Prepaid expenses and other | $ | 0.2 |  |  | — |
Accrued liabilities | — |  |  | (0.3) |
Other noncurrent liabilities | — |  |  | (0.3) |
$50 million notional - June 2027 maturity (a) |  |  |
Prepaid expenses and other | $ | 0.2 |  |  | — |
Accrued liabilities | — |  |  | (0.1) |
Other noncurrent liabilities | — |  |  | (0.1) |
Net asset (liability) | $ | 0.4 |  |  | (0.8) |
(a)At June 30, 2026, swaps with a total notional value of $150 million will terminate in June 2027 and have a weighted average maturity of 0.5 years. Amounts under our interest rate swap contracts were recognized in interest expense as follows:
| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions) | 2026 |  | 2025 |  | 2026 |  | 2025
Impact to interest expense - (benefit) cost | $ | (1.0) |  |  | (2.1) |  |  | $ | (2.1) |  |  | (4.6) |
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. As of June 30, 2026, we reported the full $24 million payable for the contingent consideration because, as of that date, we believed it unlikely that payments would be reduced. See also Note 14 for more details about Malaysia operations. 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 six months of 2026.
