Brink’s reports Q1 non-GAAP EPS $1.62, consensus $1.17

Reports Q1 revenue $1.25B, consensus $1.21B. Mark Eubanks, CEO, said: “We delivered strong performance in the first quarter with EBITDA and EPS exceeding the top end of our guidance range. Organic revenue growth of 6% included 20% growth in AMS and DRS. On a trailing-twelve month basis, these higher margin recurring revenue offerings now represent over 25% of revenue as we continue to penetrate large addressable markets and convert existing customers. Growth in our cash and valuables business was supported by a year-over-year acceleration in our global services business primarily due to increased movement of precious metals. Operating profit was up 40 basis-points reflecting productivity, especially in North America, and revenue mix benefits partially offset by year-over-year currency headwinds, primarily in the Latin America segment. We remain focused on executing against our capital allocation framework, accelerating share repurchases to over $110M year to date.”
