MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Aug. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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, 2023.
“We delivered another quarter of outstanding results, with double-digit growth across all parameters, compared to last year as well as the previous quarter. Our performance demonstrates the distinctive advantages of our business, from our cutting-edge technology and broad and well-diversified geographic reach to our excellent sales execution and vast market opportunity. We scale focused on long-term profitable growth, and on our unwavering commitment to our customers: building the best payments ecosystem across emerging markets based on our One dLocal model, simplifying complexities for the merchants we serve.
Our merchants recognize the value we add to their business, propelling our growth alongside theirs. During the quarter we experienced strong traction with our platform solution, in particular from marketplaces. Local-to-local volume also increased significantly, reflecting the success and robustness of this solution. Geographically, we witnessed strong growth in Brazil. This high growth in a large and competitive geography such as Brazil underscores the quality of our solution as we continue to gain market share. Brazil is our first market back in 2016 and still presents attractive growth opportunities. Africa and Asia also grew strongly, and we are excited to see certain smaller markets growing at triple-digit rates.
We are very proud of our half year results and we reaffirm our guidance for the year of revenue between US$620 and US$640 million and Adjusted EBITDA between US$200 and US$220 million. We are clearly trading towards the higher end of that guidance in terms of revenue, but prefer to take a conservative approach given the macro environment. Specific changes of circumstances such as the devaluation of the Nigerian Naira affect our revenue number, but not our gross profit. The annual guidance we have provided accounts for close to 50% year-on-year growth at best in class margins. This would be a great outcome for our 2023 results and testament to the resilience and well-diversified business we are building. We reiterate our mid-term guidance of 25%-35% gross profit CAGR and Adjusted EBITDA over gross profit >75%, which are best in class metrics.
In other news, we are delighted to welcome Pedro Arnt as co-CEO. dLocal has a huge opportunity ahead and I am excited about joining forces with Pedro to steer dLocal's next chapter together. The entire dLocal team, and me personally, remain dedicated to scaling the business further, fortifying our position as the emerging markets payments leader, and delivering lasting value for our merchants, consumers, partners and shareholders,” said Sebastian Kanovich, co-CEO of dLocal.
Second quarter 2023 Financial Highlights
- Total Payment Volume (“TPV”) reached a record US$4.4 billion in the second quarter, up 80% year-over-year compared to US$2.4 billion in the second quarter of 2022 and up 22% compared to US$3.6 billion in the first quarter of 2023.
- Revenues amounted to US$161.1 million, up 59% year-over-year compared to US$101.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 and up 17% compared to US$137.3 million in the first quarter of 2023.
- Gross profit was US$70.8 million in the second quarter of 2023, up 43% year-over-year compared to US$49.6 million in the second quarter of 2022 and up 14% compared to US$61.8 million in the first quarter of 2023.
- Gross profit margin was 44% in this quarter, compared to 49% in the second quarter of 2022 and 45% in the first quarter of 2023. Gross profit margin was positively impacted by changes in merchant mix, particularly in Brazil. This was offset by a higher share of pay-ins and local-to-local volume and lower share of revenues in Argentina.
- Gross profit over TPV remained almost unchanged quarter-over-quarter, slightly decreasing from 1.7% in the first quarter of 2023 to 1.6% in the second quarter of 2023 and decreasing from 2.0% in the second quarter of 2022 mainly due to business mix.
- Adjusted EBITDA was US$52.0 million in the second quarter of 2023, up 36% year-over-year compared to US$38.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 and up 14% compared to US$45.5 million in the first quarter of 2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin was 32% in the second quarter of 2023, compared to 38% in the second quarter of 2022 and 33% in the first quarter of 2023. EBITDA margin varied in line with gross profit margin.
- Adjusted EBITDA over gross profit remained best in class at 74% in the second quarter of 2023, compared to 74% in the first quarter of 2023 and compared to 77% a year ago.
- Net financial income was US$7.5 million, up from US$1.4 million in the first quarter of 2023 and US$0.3 million in the second quarter of 2022. These results were driven by an increase in the funds held in interest bearing accounts and money markets partially offset by the financial cost of hedges across the markets.
- Effective income tax rate was 16% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 12% in the second quarter of 2022 and 11% in the first quarter of 2023 driven by a higher share of profits in local markets, as a result of higher local-to-local volume and higher financial gains.
- Profit for the second quarter of 2023 was US$44.8 million, or US$0.15 per diluted share, up 46% compared to a profit of US$30.7 million, or US$0.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022 and up 26% compared to a profit of US$35.5 million, or US$0.11 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2023.
- As of June 30, 2023, dLocal had US$549.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, including US$176.7 million of own funds and US$372.7 million of merchants’ funds. The consolidated cash position increased by US$95.4 million from US$454.0 million as of June 30, 2022. When compared to the US$517.9 million cash position as of March 31, 2023, it increased by US$31.5 million. During the second quarter of 2023, US$61.0 million of own funds were used to buy back the company’s own shares completing the US$100 million Share Buyback Program announced in December 2022. In addition, during the quarter we invested US$48 million dollars of our own funds in Argentine dollar-linked treasury bonds maturing in 2024.

Second quarter 2023 Business Highlights
- During the second quarter of 2023, pay-ins TPV increased by 70% year-over-year and 27% quarter-over-quarter to US$3.2 billion, accounting for 73% of the TPV.
- Pay-outs TPV increased by 114% year-over-year and 10% quarter-over-quarter to US$1.2 billion, accounting for the remaining 27% of the TPV.
- Cross-border TPV increased by 49% year-over-year and 13% quarter-over-quarter to US$2.2 billion. Cross-border volume accounted for 51% of the TPV in the second quarter of 2023.
- Local-to-local TPV increased by 128% year-over-year and 33% quarter-over-quarter to US$2.2 billion. Local-to-local volume accounted for 49% of the TPV in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in local-to-local volume was mainly driven by merchants from commerce, advertising and ride-hailing verticals.
- Revenue increased across all regions during the quarter. LatAm grew 45% compared to the second quarter of 2022 and 29% quarter-over-quarter to US$126.9 million, accounting for 79% of total revenue. In the second quarter of 2023, we experienced very strong revenue growth in Brazil increasing 99% year-over-year and 81% quarter-over-quarter. Recent growth has been mainly led by merchants in the commerce, advertising and streaming verticals.
- Africa and Asia revenue grew by 152% year-over-year and decreased 12% quarter-over-quarter to US$34.3 million, accounting for the remaining 21% of total revenue, compared to 13% in the second quarter of 2022. Revenues in the second quarter of 2023 were impacted by the devaluation of the Nigerian Naira. In mid June, the Nigerian government implemented a free-floating policy for its local currency, the Nigerian Naira, leading to the depreciation of the local currency. Nigeria revenues increased by 353% year-over-year while decreasing by 24% quarter-over-quarter. Excluding Nigeria, revenues increased by 52% year-over-year and by 15% quarter-over-quarter in Africa and Asia showing the strength of our geographic diversification and the continued growth across Africa and Asia.
- During the quarter, dLocal continued delivering strong revenue growth both from existing and from new customers. Revenue from Existing Merchants increased from US$101.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 to US$149.9 million. The net revenue retention rate, or NRR, in the second quarter of 2023 reached 148%.
- Revenue from New Merchants was US$11.2 million in the second quarter of 2023.

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

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-months and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
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.

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 APAC, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa. 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.

dLocal was incorporated on February 10, 2021, as a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability, duly registered with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies. The contribution of dLocal Group Limited (a limited liability company incorporated in Malta, the former holding entity or “dLocal Malta”) shares to dLocal was finalized as of April 14, 2021. Until the contribution of dLocal Malta shares to it, dLocal had not commenced operations, consequently the historical information previous to that date presented herein corresponds to dLocal Malta, our predecessor. This reorganization was done, among other reasons, to facilitate the initial public offering of the Group. dLocal had no prior assets, holdings or operations.
