The introduction of the company's new digital cash payment solutions is a major focus of today's investor presentation . Doug Pertz , chief executive officer , said : “ Brink's is evolving from a route - based logistics company with growing organic revenue and expanding margins into a key player in the broader payments ecosystem-- with a focus on digital cash payment solutions . Our vision is to disrupt the cash management industry by offering a step change in value to a large addressable market of retailers that are currently underserved , or not served at all , by our industry . " While cash usage accounts for approximately two - thirds of global consumer transactions , it's clear that the payments ecosystem is changing , and we're changing with it . Our digital solutions enable us to accelerate revenue and profit growth while continuing to play a critical role in facilitating economic inclusion , especially for vulnerable populations around the world that depend on cash . " Pertz added : " We plan to achieve our 2024 financial targets by executing on two strategies . Strategy 1.0 is all about operational excellence , and is a continuation and expansion of the organic initiatives that made our first three - year strategic plan so successful , including revenue growth of 27 % and operating profit growth of 81 % from 2017 to 2019 . " Strategy 2.0 is focused on adding a new layer of high - margin growth by introducing digital cash payment solutions that enable retailers to process cash as easily as they process cards and other digital payments . Most retailers already have a digital solution to accept cards and other payments , but they don't have a digital solution to manage cash payments , which account for a significant portion of their transactions . We have that solution , and we believe it will change the way customers and investors look at Brink's . Our Strategy 2.0 digital solutions , including our growing ATM managed services business , give us a sustainable , first mover competitive advantage . We expect these solutions to add an incremental 10 % of total revenue by 2024. " As part of its go - to - market strategy , the company is launching BLUbeem TM by Brink's® , a new brand for its digital cash payment solutions . Through partnerships with digital payment providers , BLUbeem digital cash payment solutions will be integrated with non - cash digital solutions and point- of - sale ( POS ) systems to provide a single solution for cash , card and digital payments . Financial Targets Management expects annual organic revenue growth of at least 7 % to add over $ 1 billion of new revenue over the next three years , resulting in 2024 revenue of $ 5.3 billion to $ 5.5 billion , non - GAAP operating profit of approximately $ 800 million , adjusted EBITDA of approximately $ 1 billion , and free cash flow of approximately $ 575 million . The company believes achieving these targets will deliver a total shareholder return of 20 % or more annually . Management affirmed 2021 guidance , with revenue in a range between $ 4.1 billion and $ 4.2 billion and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $ 660 million at the midpoint . Management also affirmed its 2022 target range for adjusted EBITDA of $ 785 million to $ 825 million . The company will provide more information regarding 2022 during today's investor presentation and when it releases fourth - quarter results in February 2022 .
