dLocal reports in US dollars and in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB

 

Montevideo, Uruguay August 14th, 2024 — DLocal Limited (“dLocal”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) (NASDAQ:DLO), a technology - first payments platform today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

We continue to see strong growth in our business, achieving another quarterly record of $6.0 billion of TPV during the second quarter of 2024, an increase of nearly 40% year-over-year. This occurred despite the tough comparison with last year's 80% growth during the same period. The evolution of this key metric demonstrates our continued ability to grow as we gain share of wallet from our global merchant base and add new merchants to the mix. It also underscores our unique value proposition as a trusted partner for some of the largest and most sophisticated global companies across emerging markets.

The TPV performance was good across multiple verticals, including continued strong growth in the commerce, on-demand delivery, and remittance verticals; accelerating growth from SaaS and ride-hailing. This kind of sustained and well diversified TPV growth, with a focused commitment to low-risk high-reputation verticals, sets us up well for long-term success. We believe that our year-over-year growth showcases a unique in class combination of growth while focusing on reputable verticals, which sets us apart from relevant comps base, who either grow less, over index high-risk verticals, or do both.

Net take rates have held up sequentially, despite unfavorable events, like repricing by our largest merchant at the beginning of the year, material currency devaluations in Nigeria and Egypt, and continued weakening across most emerging markets currencies. The stable sequential net take rate and growing TPV during the quarter translated to 11% quarter-over-quarter gross profit growth.

Our OPEX, excluding non-cash share-based compensation, grew by only $1 million sequentially, after previous quarters of sequential growth above $4 million, as we adjusted our cash spend to the weaker gross profit. As mentioned previously, there is a limit to how much we are willing to defend margins in the short-term, as we are committed to certain investments, which are crucial for our long-term success, particularly those in our engineering pool, back-office capabilities and behind our license portfolio. But, to balance this out, we are always revising other discretionary spending to make sure it matches our topline performance and is aligned with our general philosophy of frugality. Consequently, our Adjusted EBITDA reached $43 million, reflecting our still lean structure and disciplined spending. Our cash generation also accelerated versus the prior quarter, posting a $35 million of Free Cash Flow from own funds, a conversion rate of 77%, up $23 million and 7 percentage points compared to the second quarter of 2023.

These highlights also come with certain challenges that we are focused on rapidly addressing. Year-over-year gross profit performance was flat, primarily due to a 13% decline in LatAm. This decline was driven by (i) the Argentine FX devaluation and (ii) the repricing by our largest merchant in Brazil and Mexico. Despite stellar Africa and Asia gross profit growth of 79% year-over-year, it did not suffice to offset those two events.

Taking a step back from a short-term quarterly prism, dLocal remains an incredibly strong company, with a fantastic total addressable market, attractive business model and extremely promising future, that at some point will be reflected in capital market performance. To keep things in perspective:

When we analyze the potential of all this compounded over time, it is hard to not be optimistic about our future, despite the inherent challenges and volatility existent in emerging markets. The long term future is bright, and our own ability to execute is the most important factor.

---

Our optimism in the future is also reflected in our capital allocation strategy. Our business has an attractive cash generation profile, and we see upside in our stock as we grow and scale; and as a consequence of this we have bought back stock during the quarter at a rapid pace.

As known, emerging markets are inherently volatile, which can, and often do, impact our short-term results. However, our long-term view remains optimistic as stated earlier. The quarterly bottom-up review of our pipeline and existing contracts, where we project out probable market growth, and new commercial opportunities on a merchant-by-merchant basis, gets us to the following revised outlook for 2024:

We continue to thrive across emerging markets, embracing their complexities and delivering simple, effective solutions to our merchants. Our focus remains on execution and long-term growth. Our commitment to our merchants and our expertise in these regions enable us to consistently win business from these global merchants. As we scale, this growth will help mitigate short-term volatility and dilute market fluctuations. Therefore, it is crucial to continue focusing on TPV growth, increasing our share of wallet, and adding new clients - all of which we have consistently delivered since the company's inception, while driving operational leverage in the business once we get through the current disciplined investment cycle we are in.

We are thankful for the continued support and confidence in our vision. We are committed to executing our strategy and driving long-term value for our shareholders. We look forward to updating you on our progress in the coming quarters.

Special note regarding Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

 

dLocal has only one operating segment. dLocal measures its operating segment’s performance by Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and uses these metrics to make decisions about allocating resources.

 

Adjusted EBITDA as used by dLocal is defined as the profit from operations before financing and taxation for the year or period, as applicable, before depreciation of property, plant and equipment, amortization of right-of-use assets and intangible assets, and further excluding the changes in fair value of financial assets and derivative instruments carried at fair value through profit or loss, impairment gains/(losses) on financial assets, transaction costs, share-based payment non-cash charges, secondary offering expenses, and inflation adjustment. dLocal defines Adjusted EBITDA Margin as the Adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated revenues.

 

Although Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may be commonly viewed as non-IFRS measures in other contexts, pursuant to IFRS 8, (“Operating Segments”), Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are treated by dLocal as IFRS measures based on the manner in which dLocal utilizes these measures. Nevertheless, dLocal’s Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin metrics should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for net income for the periods presented under IFRS. dLocal also believes that its Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin metrics are useful metrics used by analysts and investors, although these measures are not explicitly defined under IFRS. Additionally, the way dLocal calculates operating segment’s performance measures may be different from the calculations used by other entities, including competitors, and therefore, dLocal’s performance measures may not be comparable to those of other entities. Finally, dLocal is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking guidance for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA over gross profit, which are forward-looking non-IFRS measures, because dLocal cannot reliably predict certain of their necessary components, such as impairment gains/(losses) on financial assets, transaction costs, and inflation adjustment.

 

The table below presents a reconciliation of dLocal’s Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to net income:

 

 

$ in thousands	Three months ended 30 of June		Six months ended 30 of June
	2024	2023	2024	2023
Profit for the period	46,239	44,791	63,957	80,241
Income tax expense	10,060	8,774	17,174	13,055
Depreciation and amortization	4,089	2,869	7,851	5,384
Finance income and costs, net1	(28,045)	(7,459)	(28,344)	(8,850)
Share-based payment non-cash charges	6,776	1,421	11,237	3,750
Other operating loss2	1,553	-	3,372	-
Impairment loss / (gain) on financial assets	76	(21)	(101)	30
Inflation adjustment	1,941	1,661	4,309	2,680
Other non-recurring costs	-	-	-	1,229
Adjusted EBITDA	42,689	52,036	79,455	97,519

 

Note: 1In Q2 2024, the Finance income and costs, net line was impacted by the non-cash mark to market effect related to Argentine bonds investments in the amount of US$22.8 million. 2In Q2 2024, the company wrote-off certain amounts related to merchants/processors off-boarded by dLocal.

Special note regarding Adjusted Net Income

 

Adjusted Net Income is a non-IFRS financial measure. As used by dLocal Adjusted net income is defined as the profit for the period (net income) excluding impairment gains/(losses) on financial assets, transaction costs, share-based payment non-cash charges, secondary offering expenses, and other operating (gain)/loss, in line with our Adjusted EBITDA calculation (see detailed methodology for Adjusted EBITDA in page 13). It further excludes the accounting non-cash charges related to the fair value gain from the Argentine dollar-linked bonds and the exchange difference loss from the intercompany loan denominated in USD that we granted to our Argentine subsidiary to purchase the bonds. In addition, it excludes the inflation adjustment based on IFRS rules for hyperinflationary economies. We believe Adjusted Net Income is a useful measure for understanding our results for operations while excluding for certain non-cash effects such as currency devaluation and inflation. Our calculation for Adjusted Net Income may differ from similarly-titled measures presented by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a replacement for our measure of profit for the period as presented in accordance with IFRS.

 

The table below presents a reconciliation of dLocal’s Adjusted net income:

 

$ in thousands	Three months ended 30 of June		Six months ended 30 of June
	2024	2023	2024	2023
Net income as reported	46,239	44,791	63,957	80,241
Inflation adjustment	1,941	1,661	4,309	2,680
Loan - exchange difference	5,831	1,815	12,560	1,815
Fair value (loss) / gains of financial assets at FVTPL (bonds)	(22,774)	(3,565)	(33,589)	(3,654)
Impairment loss / (gain) on financial assets	76	(21)	(101)	30
Share-based payment non-cash charges	6,776	1,421	11,237	3,750
Other operating (gain)/loss	1,553	-	3,372	-
Other non-recurring costs	-	-	-	1,229
Tax on adjustments	5,998	(613)	4,638	(644)
Adjusted net income	45,640	45,490	66,383	85,447

 

 

Note: Adjusted Net Income is a non-IFRS financial measure. As used by dLocal Adjusted net income is defined as the profit for the period (net income) excluding impairment gains/(losses) on financial assets, transaction costs, share-based payment non-cash charges, secondary offering expenses, and other operating (gain)/loss, in line with our Adjusted EBITDA calculation (see detailed methodology for Adjusted EBITDA in page 13).

Earnings per share

 

We calculate basic earnings per share by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the group by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Our diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the group of dLocal by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of common shares that would be issued on conversion of all dilutive potential common shares into common shares.

 

	Three months ended 30 of June		Six months ended 30 of June
	2024	2023	2024	2023
Profit attributable to common shareholders (thousands USD)	46,244	44,697	63,952	80,141

About dLocal

dLocal powers local payments in emerging markets, connecting global enterprise merchants with billions of emerging market consumers in more than 40 countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Through the “One dLocal” platform (one direct API, one platform, and one contract), global companies can accept payments, send pay-outs and settle funds globally without the need to manage separate pay-in and pay-out processors, set up numerous local entities, and integrate multiple acquirers and payment methods in each market.

 

---

Definition of selected operational metrics

“API” means application programming interface, which is a general term for programming techniques that are available for software developers when they integrate with a particular service or application. In the payments industry, APIs are usually provided by any party participating in the money flow (such as payment gateways, processors, and service providers) to facilitate the money transfer process.

 

“Cross-border” means a payment transaction whereby dLocal is collecting in one currency and settling into a different currency and/or in a different geography.

 

“Local payment methods” refers to any payment method that is processed in the country where the end user of the merchant sending or receiving payments is located, which include credit and debit cards, cash payments, bank transfers, mobile money, and digital wallets.

 

“Local-to-local” means a payment transaction whereby dLocal is collecting and settling in the same currency.

 

“Net Revenue Retention Rate” or “NRR” is a U.S. dollar-based measure of retention and growth of dLocal’s merchants. NRR is calculated for a period or year by dividing the Current Period/Year Revenue by the Prior Period/Year Revenue. The Prior Period/Year Revenue is the revenue billed by us to all our customers in the prior period. The Current Period/Year Revenue is the revenue billed by us in the current period to the same customers included in the Prior Period/Year Revenue. Current Period/Year Revenue includes revenues from

any upselling and cross-selling across products, geographies, and payment methods to such merchant customers, and is net of any contractions or attrition, in respect of such merchant customers, and excludes revenue from new customers on-boarded in the preceding twelve months. As most of dLocal revenues come from existing merchants, the NRR rate is a key metric used by management, and we believe it is useful for investors in order to assess our retention of existing customers and growth in revenues from our existing customer base.

 

“Pay-in” means a payment transaction whereby dLocal’s merchant customers receive payment from their customers.

 

“Pay-out” means a payment transaction whereby dLocal disburses money in local currency to the business partners or customers of dLocal’s merchant customers.

 

“Revenue from New Merchants” means the revenue billed by us to merchant customers that we did not bill revenues in the same quarter (or period) of the prior year.

 

“Revenue from Existing Merchants” means the revenue billed by us in the last twelve months to the merchant customers that we billed revenue in the same quarter (or period) of the prior year.

 

“TPV” dLocal presents total payment volume, or TPV, which is an operating metric of the aggregate value of all payments successfully processed through dLocal’s payments platform. Because revenue depends significantly on the total value of transactions processed through the dLocal platform, management believes that TPV is an indicator of the success of dLocal’s global merchants, the satisfaction of their end users, and the scale and growth of dLocal’s business.

Rounding: We have made rounding adjustments to some of the figures included in this interim report. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in some tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that preceded them.

Forward-looking statements

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements convey dLocal’s current expectations or forecasts of future events, including guidance in respect of total payment volume, gross profit, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA over gross profit margin. Forward-looking statements regarding dLocal and amounts stated as guidance are based on current management expectations and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause dLocal’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are described in the “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” sections of dLocal’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless required by law, dLocal undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events after the date hereof. In addition, dLocal is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking guidance for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA over gross profit, which are forward-looking non-IFRS measures, because dLocal cannot reliably predict certain of their necessary components, such as impairment gains/(losses) on financial assets, transaction costs, and inflation adjustment.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements

At June 30, 2024

(All amounts in thousands of U.S. Dollars except share data or as otherwise indicated)

 

 

1. General information and Significant Events during the period

 

1.1. General information

 

DLocal Limited (“dLocal” or the “Company”) was established on October 5, 2016 as a limited liability holding company in Malta (together with its subsidiaries as the “Group”.) On April 14, 2021 the Group was reorganized under dLocal and domiciled and incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The Company holds a controlling financial interest in the Group.

 

The Group processes payment transactions, enabling merchants located in developed economies (mainly United States, Europe and China) to receive payments (“pay-ins”) from customers in emerging markets and to facilitate payments (“pay-outs”) to customers in emerging markets. As of the date these Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements were issued, the Group continued to focus on its geographic expansion, increasing the total number of in-network countries.

 

The Group processes local payments in emerging markets through its network of acquirers and payments processors. Through its partnership with financial institutions, the Group expatriates/repatriates funds to/from developed economies where the merchant customers elect settlement in their preferred currency (mainly U.S. Dollar and Euro). These unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements include dLocal’s subsidiaries.

The Group is licensed and regulated in the EU as an Electronic Money Issuer, or EMI, and Payment Institution, or PI, and registered as a Money Service Business with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, or FinCEN, and operates and may be licensed, as applicable, in many countries in emerging markets, primarily in the Americas, Asia and Africa.

In addition, the Group is subject to laws aimed at preventing money laundering, corruption and the financing of terrorism. This regulatory landscape is constantly changing, including as a consequence of the implementation of the Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (Directive (EU) 2018/843, “MLD5”) and the proposed amendments to the MLD4, often referred to as the fourth Anti-Money Laundering Directive.

 

1.2. Significant events during the period

a) Class action lawsuits

 

On February 23 and February 28, 2023, respectively, we were named, along with several of our senior executives and/or directors, as defendants in certain putative class action lawsuits filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, asserting claims under Sections 11, 12, and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, based in significant part on the short-seller report. These matters, Zappia et al. v. DLocal Limited et al., Index No. 151778/2023 (Sup. Ct. N.Y. Cty.), and Hunt et al. v. DLocal Limited et al., Index No. 651058/2023 (Sup. Ct. N.Y. Cty.), or the Zappia and Hunt Actions, allege, among other things, that the registration statement for our June 2021 initial public offering reflected certain material misstatements or omissions.

On March 3, 2023, plaintiffs in the two actions filed a stipulation and proposed order consolidating the cases and appointing putative lead counsel. The parties also agreed to a schedule for plaintiffs’ filing of an amended complaint and a subsequent briefing schedule for a motion to dismiss the amended complaint.

 

On May 12, 2023, plaintiffs in the Zappia and Hunt Actions jointly filed a consolidated amended complaint. On July 11, 2023, we filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Plaintiffs filed their opposition brief on August 15, 2023, and we filed a reply in further support of our motion to dismiss on September 22, 2023. Our motion to dismiss is now fully briefed, and, on February 29, 2024, the court presided over oral argument on the motion. The court has not yet issued a decision on the motion, and no other proceedings are currently ongoing or scheduled.

 

We have also been named, along with several of our senior executives and/or directors, in a putative class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, asserting claims under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. This lawsuit, captioned Laurenzi v. dLocal Ltd., et al., 1:23-cv-07501 (E.D.N.Y.) (Laurenzi Action), was initiated on October 6, 2023. On January 4, 2024, the Court appointed a Lead Plaintiff. On March 18, 2024, Lead Plaintiff filed an amended class action complaint. The amended complaint alleges misstatements and omissions in the registration statement for our June 2021 initial public offering and in various public filings and press releases during the period of June 2, 2021 through June 5, 2023. Pursuant to a schedule agreed upon with Lead Plaintiff’s counsel, we filed on April 30, 2024, a letter, as required by court rules, requesting a pre-motion conference regarding an anticipated motion to dismiss the Laurenzi Action in full. Lead Plaintiff responded to that letter on May 14, 2024. On June 10, 2024, the court held the requested preliminary conference and set a schedule for briefing on our motion to dismiss. We served our opening brief on August 9, 2024, Lead Plaintiff’s opposition is due on October 11, 2024, and our reply is due on November 8, 2024.

Due to the preliminary posture of the above-described lawsuits as of the date of issuance of these unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements, the Management and its legal advisors are unable to evaluate the likelihood of an adverse outcome or estimate a range of potential losses and no provision for contingencies have been recorded for the aforementioned matters. DLocal Limited intends to defend itself vigorously in these actions. As of the date of issuance of the Company’s unaudited interim financial statements there were no further updates in this regard.

 

Developments in Argentina
 

Argentina is subject to extensive foreign exchange regulations which were revised as recently as December 2023. We and our legal advisors consider our activities to be carried out in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including compliance with foreign exchange market and tax regulations. As of the date of this unaudited interim report, no provision for contingencies has been recorded for the aforementioned matters.

2. Presentation and preparation of the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements and significant accounting policies

 

2.1. Basis of preparation of consolidated condensed interim financial information

 

These Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board.

 

These Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual consolidated financial statement. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Financial Statements”).

 

The accounting policies and critical accounting estimates and judgments adopted, except for those explicitly indicated on these Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements, are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

 

All amounts are presented in thousands of U.S. Dollars except share data or as otherwise indicated.

 

These Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were authorized for issuance by the dLocal’s Board of Directors on August 13, 2024.

 

2.2. Changes in accounting policies adopted by the Group

 

Treasury shares

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Group has adopted a voluntary change in the accounting policy regarding the classification of treasury shares to better reflect the Group’s equity structure. Previously, treasury shares were recognized under the share premium in the equity. As part of the new policy, and in connection with the repurchase of shares mentioned in note 14 c, the Group has decided to classify treasury shares separately in the equity position.

 

Treasury shares are recorded at cost, which includes the purchase price and any directly attributable costs of acquisition. The cost of treasury shares is presented as a deduction from equity, specifically within the “Treasury Shares” reserve. No gain or loss is recognized in the income statement on the purchase, sale, issue, or cancellation of the company’s own equity instruments.

 

2.3. New accounting pronouncements

 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. The Company evaluated and, when necessary, applied for the first time the new standards and interpretations issued or modified by the IASB as demonstrated in the item 2.4, and did not identify any significant impacts thereof on the disclosure or reported amounts.

 

2.4. Impact of IFRS Accounting Standards issued but not yet applied by the Group

 

The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretation of IFRS issued by the IASB were not adopted since they are not effective for the issuance of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company plans to adopt these new standards, amendments, and interpretation, if applicable, when they become effective.

 

IAS 21 - The effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (effective on January 01, 2025)

In August 2023, the IASB amended IAS 21 to help entities to determine whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency, and which spot exchange rate to use when it is not. These new requirements will apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025. The Company is assessing the impact of the standard.

---

 

IFRS 18 - Presentation and disclosure in financial statements (effective on January 01, 2027)

On 9 April 2024, the IASB issued a new standard IFRS 18, the new standard on presentation and disclosure in financial statements, with a focus on updates to the statement of profit or loss. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to:

 

• the structure of the statement of profit or loss;

• required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity’s financial statements (that is, management-defined performance measures); and

• enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general.

 

IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1; many of the other existing principles in IAS 1 are retained, with limited changes. IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, but it might change what an entity reports as its ‘operating profit or loss’.

 

IFRS 18 will apply for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 and also applies to comparative information.

 

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments and IFRS 07 Financial Instruments: Disclosure (effective on January 1, 2026)

 

On 30 May 2024, the IASB issued target amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7. The amendments intend to:

 

• Clarify the period of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with new exception for some financial liabilities settled through electronic cash transfer;

• Provides further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion;

• New disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows and equity instruments designated at FVTOCI.

---

3. Accounting estimates and judgments

 

Accounting estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

The critical accounting estimates and judgments adopted on these Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

---

4. Consolidation of subsidiaries

 

DLocal Limited, located in Cayman Islands, is the parent company of the Group and acts as a holding company for subsidiaries whose main activity is cross-border and local payments, enabling international merchants to access end customers in emerging markets. Its revenue comes from dividends receivable from subsidiaries and share of profit from subsidiary partnership.

There were no changes since December 31, 2023 in the accounting practices adopted for consolidation of the Company’s direct and indirect interests in its subsidiaries for the purposes of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The following entities were incorporated or acquired by the Group during the six month period ended June 30, 2024.

 

						% of equity interest held by Dlocal
Entity name		Country of incorporation		Principal activities		June 30, 2024
Olmerix S.A.		Uruguay		Finance entity		100%
Dlocal Nicaragua S.A.		Nicaragua		Collection entity		100%
Dlocal Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.		Malaysia		Collection entity		100%

The Group has determined that the acquisition or incorporation of these subsidiaries during 2024 do not constitute a business combination according to IFRS 3.

5. Segment reporting

 

The Group operates as a single operating segment, “payment processing”. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) who is the Group’s Executive Team represented by executive officers and directors holders of ordinary shares of the immediate parent of the Company. The Group has determined that its Executive Team is the chief operating decision maker as they determine the allocation of resources and assess performance.

The Executive Team evaluates the Group’s financial information and resources, and assess the financial performance of these resources based on consolidated Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as further described below.

 

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

 

The Executive Team assesses the financial performance of the Group’s sole segment by Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the consolidated profit from operations before financing and taxation for the applicable reporting period before depreciation of PP&E, amortization of right-of-use assets and intangible assets. It also excludes adjustments applied to subsidiaries operating hyperinflationary environments, other operating loss, impairment gain/loss on financial assets, other non-recurring costs and share-based payment non-cash charges. The Group defines Adjusted EBITDA Margin as the Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue.

The Group reconciles the segment’s performance measure to profit for the period as presented in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statements of Comprehensive Income as follows:

(e) Earnings per share

 

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income for the period attributed to the owners of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to owners of DLO by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of shares that would be issued on conversion of all dilutive potential shares into shares by applying the treasury stock method. The shares in the share-based plan are the only shares with potential dilutive effect.

The following table presents the calculation of net income applicable to the owners of the parent and basic and diluted EPS for the six and three months period ended of June 30:

 

		Six months ended				Three months ended
		June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023		June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023
Profit attributable to common shareholders (U.S. Dollars)		63,952,000		80,141,000		46,244,000		44,697,412
Weighted average number of common shares		294,781,316		293,403,907		293,430,253		291,700,873
Adjustments for calculation of diluted earnings per share(1)		15,348,015		16,358,508		14,996,249		16,160,368
Weighted average number of common shares for calculating diluted earnings per share		310,129,331		309,762,415		308,426,502		307,861,241
Basic earnings per share		0.22		0.27		0.16		0.15
Diluted earnings per share		0.21		0.26		0.15		0.15

 

 

1 For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the adjustment corresponds to the dilutive effect of i) 8,266,680 average shares related to share-based payment warrants described in Note 13: Share-based payments and warrants to the Annual Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023; and ii) 7,081,335 average shares related to share-based payment plans with employees (14,612,059 and 1,746,449 respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2023). For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the adjustment corresponds to the dilutive effect of i) 8,138,593 average shares related to share-based payment warrants; and ii) 6,857,656 average shares related to share-based payment plans with employees (14,555,263 and 1,605,105 respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2023).

(i) According to the respective maturity date, the bond TV24 was fully settled during April, 2024. We used the funds to acquire new financial assets and bonds to reinforce our economic commitment.

 

(ii) The Company has applied the fair value option irrevocably designated as measured at FVPL as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, which the Company had not irrevocably elected to classify at fair value through OCI.

 

Information about the Group’s impact on profit or loss of bonds is discussed in Note 11: Other Results

 

 

All of the Group’s listed bonds investments are listed on the Argentinian Stock Exchange (Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos - BYMA). For the investments classified as FVPL, the impact of a 10% increase in the Argentinian Index at the reporting date on profit or loss would have been an increase of USD 12,029 after tax. An equal change in the opposite direction would have decreased profit or loss by USD 12,029 after tax.

17. Trade and other receivables

 

Trade and Other Receivables of the Group are composed of the following:

 

		June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Current
Trade receivables		398,803		319,921
Loss allowance		(165)		(459)
Trade receivables net		398,638		319,462
Advances and other receivables		56,865		43,912
Total Current Trade and Other Receivables		455,503		363,374

 

		June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Non current
Advances and other receivables		1,787		—
Total Non Current Trade and Other Receivables		1,787		—

 

 

Trade Receivables represent uncollateralized gross amounts due from acquirers, processors, merchants and preferred suppliers for services performed that will be collected in less than one year, so they are classified as current. No financial assets are past due. All Trade and other receivables have been assigned in “normal” credit risk rating which applies to financial assets for which a significant increase in credit risk has not occurred since initial recognition.

 

Loss allowance and impairment losses

 

The following table presents the evolution of the loss allowance:

 

		2024		2023
Opening book value as at January 1		(459)		(280)
Decrease in loss allowance for trade receivables		282		(30)
Reversal of write-off		12		140
Total as at June 30		(165)		(170)
Net impairment gain on financial assets		101		(30)

 

Initial recognition and subsequent measurement the Group applies the simplified approach to determine expected credit losses on trade receivables.

 

To measure the expected credit losses, trade and other receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due (only 0-30 past due bucket as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 because there are no other material buckets of the outstanding receivables).

 

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of debtors over a period of 48 months before year end and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rate is adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on credit risk ratings of the countries in which the Group sells its services which affects the ability of the debtors to settle the receivables. On that basis, the average expected credit loss rate of the 0-30 past due bucket was determined at 0.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (0.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2023).

22. Derivative financial instruments

 

Derivative financial instruments: forward agreements

 

The Group’s operations are in various foreign currencies and consequently are exposed to foreign currency risk. As a consequence, the Group uses derivative instruments, delivery and non-delivery currency forward contracts and future contracts, to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows, caused by the exchange rate variation in which dLocal is exposed on the conversion of local currency into the settlement currency (usually US dollars). All outstanding derivatives are recognized in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets at fair value and the impacts are recognized on profit or loss, as shown on the tables below.

 

The Group uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage some of its transaction exposures. The spot element of foreign exchange forward contracts are designated as hedging instruments in fair value hedges and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions, generally from one to 12 months.

(i) Classification of derivatives

 

 

Derivatives are financial instruments entered into only for economic hedging purposes and not contracted as speculative investments. However, where derivatives do not meet the hedge accounting criteria, they are classified as ‘held for trading’ for accounting purposes and are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. The full fair value of hedging derivatives is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months, otherwise they are classified as a current asset or liability. Derivatives held for trading are classified as a current asset or liability.
