Segment information

Note 2 – Segment Information

 

We identify our operating segments based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) allocates resources, assesses performance and makes decisions. Our CODM is our President, and Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based on operating profit or loss for the geographic components of Brink's, excluding non-segment expenses.

 

We have four geographic operating segments: Latin America; Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); North America and Asia Pacific. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we had two reportable segments: North America and International (aggregating Latin America, EMEA and Asia Pacific into International). Effective December 31, 2013, we changed our reportable segments to Latin America; EMEA; North America and Asia Pacific. We changed our reportable segments as we decided we no longer meet all the aggregation criteria set forth in ASC 280, Segment Reporting primarily due to continued economic divergence and political changes in certain Latin American countries.

 

We currently serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 43 countries where we operate subsidiaries.

 

The primary services of the reportable segments include:

  • Cash-in-Transit (“CIT”) Services – armored vehicle transportation of valuables
  • ATM Services – replenishing and maintaining customers' automated teller machines; providing network infrastructure services
  • Global Services – secure international transportation of valuables
  • Cash Management Services

  • currency and coin counting and sorting; deposit preparation and reconciliations; other cash management services
  • Safe and safe control device installation and servicing (including our patented CompuSafe® service)
  • Check and cash processing services for banking customers (“Virtual Vault Services”)
  • Check imaging services for banking customers

  • Payment Services – bill payment and processing services on behalf of utility companies and other billers at any of our Brink's or Brink's operated payment locations in Latin America; Brink's Money™ prepaid payroll cards; Brink's Checkout e-commerce online payment services
  • Security and Guarding Services – protection of airports, offices, and certain other locations in Europe with or without electronic surveillance, access control, fire prevention and highly trained patrolling personnel
