( c ) Constant currency represents 2021 Non - GAAP results at 2020 exchange rates . Doug Pertz , president and chief executive officer , said : " Our third - quarter non - GAAP results include double - digit growth in revenue and profits , demonstrating our continued recovery from the pandemic and our improved cost structure . Despite the pandemic's ongoing impact on organic growth , third - quarter revenue recovered to 98 % of 2019 pre - Covid levels on a comparable local currency basis . While our results in the U.S. continue to be affected by labor shortages and inflationary wage pressures , we expect these conditions to improve as we approach year - end , and expect wage inflation to be fully offset by price increases as we enter next year . On a global basis , we see encouraging trends indicating that revenue is recovering to pre - pandemic levels , though the rate of the recovery may continue to be uneven . " Our full - year guidance remains unchanged , with revenue in a range between $ 4.1 billion and $ 4.2 billion , non - GAAP operating profit of approximately $ 465 million , and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $ 660 million . Our preliminary 2022 adjusted EBITDA target of $ 785 million to $ 825 million also remains unchanged . We anticipate revenue in 2022 will exceed the pre - Covid adjusted level of $ 4.55 billion . As a reference point , at 100 % of adjusted pre - Covid revenue , we would expect 2022 adjusted EBITDA to be approximately $ 755 million with continued earnings leverage as revenue continues to grow . " Based on our currently projected earnings and cash flow for this year and 2022 , we believe repurchasing shares is an excellent investment for our shareholders . Today we announced a planned $ 150 million accelerated share repurchase that would represent the repurchase of approximately 5 % of the company's outstanding shares at the current share price . " We look forward to presenting our new three - year strategic plan , including detailed financial targets through 2024 , in our Investor Day presentation on December 15. " Share Repurchase Brink's today announced that it intends to enter into an accelerated share repurchase ( " ASR " ) agreement to acquire $ 150 million of the company's common stock .
