Exhibit 99 [LOGO] The Brink's Company 1801 Bayberry Court PRESS RELEASE P.O. Box 18100 Richmond, VA 23226-8100 USA Tel. 804.289.9600 Fax 804.289.9758 Contact: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Investor Relations 804.289.9709 THE BRINK'S COMPANY REPORTS HIGHER SECOND-QUARTER EARNINGS Results Boosted by Improved Performance and Lower Legacy and Interest Costs Brink's, Incorporated Profits Grow in U.S. and South America, Weakness in Europe Continues Brink's Home Security Profits Up RICHMOND, Va., August 2, 2006 - The Brink's Company (NYSE: BCO), a global provider of security and risk management services, reported second-quarter income from continuing operations of $21.2 million or 42 cents per share, up from $2.2 million or 4 cents per share in last year's second quarter. The improved results were driven primarily by higher profits in Brink's, Incorporated, the company's secure transportation and cash management business, as stronger performance in North and South America more than offset continued weakness in certain European countries. Performance at Brink's, Incorporated also benefited from substantially lower restructuring-related expenses. In addition, the company's year-over-year results improved due to higher profits at Brink's Home Security, lower interest expense, lower expenses related to former operations and a lower overall tax rate. Second-quarter revenue from continuing operations was $697.5 million, up 10% from $633.5 million in the second quarter of 2005. Operating profit from continuing operations increased to $41.9 million, up from $18.3 million in the year-ago period. Results for 2006 include $3.4 million in pretax charges related to the restructuring of the company's Australian operations due to the loss of that unit's largest customer. The company also recorded a tax valuation allowance of $2.2 million to reflect its expectation of lower ongoing operating results in Australia. Last year's second quarter included approximately $10 million for restructuring activities, primarily in European countries. Results for the second quarter of 2005 also included $6.5 million of tax valuation allowances. 1

All restructuring charges included in this press release are disclosed on a pretax basis. Michael T. Dan, chairman, president and chief executive officer of The Brink's Company, said: "Looking beyond the positive impact of lower restructuring costs, the improvement in second-quarter earnings was driven by strong results in Brink's, Incorporated's U.S. and South American operations. Profits in Europe continue to be constrained by weak results in the United Kingdom and several other countries. Based on our solid first-half results, we continue to expect that Brink's, Incorporated will achieve an annual operating margin for 2006 approaching 7%, with percentage revenue growth in the high single-digits. Second-quarter results at Brink's Home Security also improved. Despite a slowdown in new installations during the second quarter, we expect 2006 revenue and profit growth of about 10%. We also expect to see a pick-up in new installations in the third quarter." Dan added: "During the quarter, we delivered on our promise to return cash to shareholders by completing a tender offer that resulted in the repurchase of 10.4 million shares for $530.2 million, raised our dividend, and repurchased an additional 648,000 shares for about $35 million. Our day-to-day focus continues to be on improving results in Europe, but we are also pursuing new opportunities to create value for our shareholders." Second-Quarter Business Unit Performance: 2006 Versus 2005 ---------------------------------------------------------- Brink's, Incorporated ("Brink's") Brink's, the company's secure transportation and cash management unit, had second-quarter revenue of $587.8 million, up 10% from $536.7 million in 2005. Operating profit rose to $33.8 million, up from $15.1 million last year. The improved profits were largely attributable to strong performance in U.S. and South American operations and lower restructuring costs, partially offset by ongoing weakness in Europe. Operating profit margins for the second quarter and year-to-date periods were 5.8% and 6.4%, respectively. Brink's expects to incur a pretax charge of approximately $5 million in 2006 related to the loss of a customer that was significant to its Australian operations. Approximately $3.4 million of the total charge was recorded in the second quarter. Most of the balance will be recorded in the third quarter. In 2005, Brink's incurred approximately $15 million in restructuring-related charges, about $10 million of which was recorded in the second quarter to cover restructuring activities primarily associated with European operations. Restructuring-related charges of $1.3 million and $3.5 million were recorded in the third and fourth quarters of 2005, respectively. 2

Capital expenditures during the quarter totaled $26.9 million, bringing year-to-date capital spending up to $46.8 million. Full-year capital spending at Brink's is expected to approximate $100 million. Brink's North America North American revenue was $205.5 million, up 7% from $192.2 million in 2005. Operating profit rose 77% to $16.6 million, up from $9.4 million. The revenue increase was due primarily to core business growth. The profit increase was driven by improvement in cash-in-transit and global services operations, reduced pension expenses, and lower safety and security costs. Net expenses in the second quarter related to employee benefits declined by approximately $3 million due to the freezing of U.S. pension plan benefits as of December 31, 2005. For the full year, net expenses related to these employee benefits are expected to decrease by $12 million to $13 million compared to 2005. Brink's International Second-quarter revenue from international operations was $382.3 million, up 11% from $344.5 million in 2005, reflecting increases in all regions. Operating profit was $17.2 million, up from $5.7 million last year due primarily to continued strong performance in South America and lower restructuring costs. Europe Second-quarter revenue from European operations was $255.4 million, up 5% from $243.5 million in 2005. Acquisitions had no significant impact on revenue or operating profit in the latest quarter. In last year's second-quarter, restructuring-related expenses approximated $10 million and were associated primarily with European operations. While second-quarter results improved sequentially over the first quarter, the operating environment in Europe continues to be difficult due to several factors, each of which varies by country. These factors include changing regulatory and labor issues, competitive pricing pressures and higher security threats. South America Second-quarter revenue in South America increased 29% to $107.3 million, up from $83.0 million in 2005, while operating profit more than doubled. The improved results were driven by strong performance throughout much of the region. Asia-Pacific Second-quarter revenue in the Asia-Pacific region rose 9% to $19.6 million, up from $18.0 million in 2005. Operating profit for this year's second quarter declined due to the loss of a customer in Australia, which resulted in a restructuring charge of $3.4 million. The company expects that ongoing annual revenue will be reduced by approximately $20 million as a result of the loss of this customer. 3

Brink's Home Security ("BHS") Second-quarter revenue at BHS rose 13% to $109.7 million, up from $96.8 million in 2005 due primarily to continued growth in the subscriber base and higher average monitoring rates. BHS ended the quarter with approximately 1,073,000 subscribers, up 10% over the June 2005 level. Monthly recurring revenue rose 13% to $31.2 million (see Non-GAAP Reconciliations for a reconciliation of monthly recurring revenue to reported revenue). Operating profit was $24.5 million, up 5% from $23.3 million in the year-ago quarter as higher profit from recurring services was partially offset by increased investment in new subscribers and incremental costs related to the company's new monitoring facility in Knoxville, Tennessee, which began operating on February 28. The second-quarter operating profit margin was 22.3%, down from 24.1% last year. The year-to-date operating profit margin for 2006 was 22.3%. The company said accelerated profit growth during the balance of 2006 should boost operating margins and lead to annual profit growth of approximately 10%. BHS installed 43,200 systems and had 18,300 disconnects, resulting in a net addition of 2.4% or 24,900 customers to its subscriber base during the quarter. The company attributed the slower-than-expected subscriber growth to softness in home sales and changes in its marketing programs. Despite the recent slowdown in installations, the company expects growth in subscribers during 2006 to be close to 10%. The annualized disconnect rate of 6.9% for the quarter was slightly higher than last year's rate of 6.8%. Second-quarter capital expenditures at BHS totaled $40.2 million, bringing year-to-date capital spending to $82.3 million. Total capital spending at BHS in 2006 is expected to be approximately $160 million to $165 million. Costs Related to Former Operations Included in Continuing Operations -------------------------------------------------------------------- Second-quarter costs related to former operations totaled $6.2 million, down from $10.9 million in 2005. The $4.7 million decrease was due primarily to lower postretirement medical benefit expenses largely resulting from the effect of a $225 million contribution to the Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association trust ("VEBA") on January 31, 2006. The VEBA, which is a financing vehicle used to pay medical benefit obligations related to former coal miners and their dependents, had assets valued at approximately $418 million on June 30. 4

Recent Events and Other Information ----------------------------------- On April 11, The Brink's Company completed a "Dutch auction" self-tender offer that resulted in the repurchase of 10,355,263 shares of its common stock for approximately $530.2 million or $51.20 per share. Following the April 11 share repurchase, the company had the authority to repurchase approximately $70 million of additional common stock. On May 5, the company's board of directors expanded the stock repurchase authority to $100 million. From May 22 until the end of the quarter, the company repurchased an additional 648,000 shares of its common stock for approximately $35.1 million or $54.16 per share. On June 30, the company had approximately 47.7 million shares of common stock outstanding. From July 1 through July 31, the company repurchased 369,300 shares for approximately $20.4 million or $55.19 per share. Additional shares may be purchased in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through derivative transactions and through purchases made in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, depending on prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors. On May 5, the company's board of directors approved an increase in the quarterly dividend on its common stock, from 2.5 cents per share to 6.25 cents per share. On July 13, the board declared a regular quarterly dividend of 6.25 cents per share payable on September 1. During the second quarter Brink's completed the acquisition of cash-in-transit and guarding operations in the Republic of Mauritius, an island nation in the Indian Ocean. Mauritius has a growing presence in financial, precious gem and tourism markets. Discontinued Operations ----------------------- Second-quarter income from discontinued operations was $9.5 million or 19 cents per share versus $13.1 million or 23 cents per share in the second quarter of 2005. Second-quarter results from discontinued operations in 2006 primarily reflect a pretax benefit of $9.9 million on the settlement of withdrawal liabilities for two multi-employer pension plans and an adjustment of $3.7 million (pretax) to the gain on the sale of the company's BAX Global air freight unit. Discontinued operations in 2005's second quarter reflected operating performance at BAX Global and a preliminary adjustment to the withdrawal liabilities. 5

Net Income ---------- Second-quarter net income, which includes results from continuing and discontinued operations, was $30.7 million or 62 cents per share versus $15.3 million or 27 cents per share in 2005.

THE BRINK'S COMPANY and Subsidiaries NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS (Unaudited) Monthly Recurring Revenues A reconciliation of monthly recurring revenues to reported Brink's Home Security revenues follows: Six Months Ended June 30, (In millions) 2006 2005 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- June: Monthly recurring revenues ("MRR") (a) $ 31.2 27.7 Amounts excluded from MRR: Amortization of deferred revenue 3.0 2.6 Other revenues (b) 3.1 2.7 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues on a GAAP basis $ 37.3 33.0 =========================================================================== Revenues (GAAP basis): June $ 37.3 33.0 January - May 177.1 155.7 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- January - June $ 214.4 188.7 =========================================================================== (a) MRR is calculated based on the number of subscribers at period end multiplied by the average fee per subscriber received in the last month of the period for contracted monitoring and maintenance services. (b) Revenues that are not pursuant to monthly contractual billings. The company uses MRR as one factor in the evaluation of BHS' performance and believes the presentation of MRR is useful to investors because the measure is widely used in the industry to assess the amount of recurring revenues from subscriber fees that a monitored security business produces.

THE BRINK'S COMPANY and Subsidiaries OTHER Value-added taxes ("VAT") and customs duties During 2004, the company determined that one of its non-U.S. Brink's business units had not paid customs duties and VAT with respect to the importation of certain goods and services. The company was advised that civil and criminal penalties could be asserted for the non-payment of these customs duties and VAT. Although no penalties have been asserted to date, they could be asserted at any time. The business unit has provided the appropriate government authorities with an accounting of unpaid customs duties and VAT and has made payments covering its calculated unpaid VAT. The company believes that the range of reasonably possible losses is between $0.4 million and $3.0 million for potential penalties on unpaid VAT and has accrued $0.4 million. The company believes that the range of possible losses for unpaid customs duties and associated penalties, none of which has been accrued, is between $0 and $35 million. The company believes that the assertion of the penalties on unpaid customs duties would be excessive and would vigorously defend against any such assertion. The company does not expect to be assessed interest charges in connection with any penalties that may be asserted. The company continues to diligently pursue the timely resolution of this matter and, accordingly, the company's estimate of the potential losses could change materially in future periods. The assertion of potential penalties may be material to the company's financial position and results of operations. # # # 13
