Brink's is a global cash management and secure logistics company serving financial institutions, retailers, and commercial customers in over 100 countries. The core business — Cash and Valuables Management (CVM), roughly 72% of revenue — involves armored vehicle transport of cash between retail locations, banks, and ATMs; money processing (counting, sorting, verifying); vaulting services for banks; and international secure transport of high-value items like gold, diamonds, and fine art through its Brink's Global Services unit. The remaining ~28% of revenue comes from two technology-enabled, subscription-based offerings: Digital Retail Solutions (DRS), which places smart safes at retail locations to digitize cash deposits and credit retailer bank accounts without manual reconciliation; and ATM Managed Services (AMS), a fully outsourced ATM management solution covering cash forecasting, replenishment, maintenance, and processing. AMS and DRS are growing at mid-to-high teens organic rates and carry higher margins and better working capital dynamics than traditional CVM. Brink's operates through four geographic segments — North America, Latin America, Europe, and Rest of World — with Europe the most mature AMS/DRS market and Latin America a significant long-term opportunity. The cost base is predominantly labor, making Brink's sensitive to wage inflation, and FX — particularly from Latin American currencies — is a persistent headwind to reported results. Growth strategy centers on converting existing CIT customers to AMS/DRS, winning previously unserved retailers, and capitalizing on bank ATM outsourcing trends globally.
