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

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Nov. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DLocal Limited (“dLocal”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) (NASDAQ:DLO), a technology-first payments platform today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

“After my first quarter at dLocal, I am extremely enthusiastic about our future prospects and the promising opportunities that lie ahead.

I am pleased to share that we delivered another quarter of solid performance with very solid growth across all main parameters, compared to last year.

TPV growth continues to be supported by our well-diversified merchant base and geographic reach. Revenues increased close to 50% year-over-year even with the strong devaluation of the Nigerian Naira. This is testament to the resilience and well-diversified business we are building. We remain focused on delivering sustained gross profit growth. In Q3 2023 we attained US$75 million gross profit. Our profitability continues to be among the best in our comparables group. Our ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Gross Profit came in at 75% for the quarter.

During Q3, we experienced sound growth across all verticals. We continue to see particularly strong traction with our platform solution.

From a geographic standpoint, during Q3 we saw very strong performance in our key markets. We continue to experience sustained strong revenue momentum in Brazil and Mexico as we grow with our existing customers and gain share of wallet. In contrast to the strong performance in our larger and more stable markets, Argentina and Nigeria, less stable markets, now represent only 20% of our total revenues, down from 29% a year ago, negatively impacted by Nigerian currency devaluation and weak macro conditions in Argentina. In addition, our business in Africa and Asia continues to perform very well. Excluding Nigeria, this region grew 79% YoY.

Our investments remain focused on thoughtfully expanding our global team and building the appropriate processes, tools and governance mechanics to ensure our business grows efficiently, and scales appropriately.

We are proud of the strong results we delivered year-to-date. 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 have not modified our mid-term guidance of 25%-35% gross profit CAGR and Adjusted EBITDA over gross profit >75%.

Our current performance, future pipeline, and market opportunity present a unique opportunity for sustained growth over a multi-year period, driven by the powerful secular trends behind emerging market adoption of digital products and services. We must remain focused on executing against that opportunity, while constructing the foundational blocks as a company to ensure we can scale at the pace our merchants will demand.

Finally, I would like to share that our CFO, Diego Cabrera Canay, has decided to step down from his position to pursue new opportunities. Diego has played a significant role in our financial success during his period at dLocal. He will stay on through Q1 of next year to ensure a smooth transition. As one executive leaves, we are also strengthening our team with new hires in senior positions, incorporating a new Principal Accounting Officer as well as an SVP of Government Relations and Strategic Partnerships,” said Pedro Arnt, co-CEO of dLocal.

Third quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

  • Total Payment Volume (“TPV”) reached a record US$4.6 billion in the third quarter, up 69% year-over-year compared to US$2.7 billion in the third quarter of 2022 and up 6% compared to an already very strong US$4.4 billion in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Revenues amounted to US$163.9 million, up 47% year-over-year compared to US$111.9 million in the third quarter of 2022 and up 2% compared to US$161.1 million in the second quarter of 2023. Excluding Nigeria, which faced a strong currency devaluation during the quarter, revenues would have grown 58% year-over-year and 11% quarter-over-quarter.
  • Gross profit was US$74.5 million in the third quarter of 2023, up 38% year-over-year compared to US$53.9 million in the third quarter of 2022 and up 5% compared to US$70.8 million in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Gross profit margin was 45% in this quarter, compared to 48% in the third quarter of 2022 and 44% in the second quarter of 2023. Sequentially, gross profit margin was positively impacted by lower expatriation costs and growth in certain countries in Africa & Asia with higher than average gross profit margin.
  • Gross profit over TPV remained unchanged quarter-over-quarter at 1.6% and decreasing from 2.0% in the third quarter of 2022 mainly due to business and country mix.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was US$55.6 million in the third quarter of 2023, up 34% year-over-year compared to US$41.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 and up 7% compared to US$52.0 million in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin was 34% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 37% in the third quarter of 2022 and 32% in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin was also up sequentially, in line with gross profit margin.
  • Adjusted EBITDA over gross profit remained best in class at 75% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 74% in the second quarter of 2023 and 77% a year ago.
  • Net financial income was US$1.5 million, down from US$7.5 million in the second quarter of 2023 and compared to a loss of US$2.5 million in the third quarter of 2022. Net financial income was negatively affected by the Argentine devaluation on intercompany loans denominated in dollars, partially offset by gains from hedged bonds acquired to protect from that devaluation.
  • Effective income tax rate was 18% in the third quarter of 2023 compared to 7% in the third quarter of 2022 and 16% in the second quarter of 2023, as a result of the country mix, with higher local-to-local share of pre-tax income and the non-deductibility of IFRS inflation adjustment.
  • Net income for the third quarter of 2023 was US$40.3 million, or US$0.13 per diluted share, up 25% compared to a profit of US$32.3 million, or US$0.10 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022 and down 10% compared to a profit of US$44.8 million, or US$0.15 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2023.
  • During the third quarter of 2023, net income was affected by two non-cash effects: IFRS inflation adjustment accounting during a quarter of significant devaluation of the Argentine Peso, and exchange differences from USD liabilities held by our Argentina subsidiary during that period; these were partially offset by the fair value gain on our Argentine dollar-linked bonds. Adjusted Net Income (excluding these non-cash effects, in addition to other non-recurring items in line with our Adjusted EBITDA calculation) was $49.2 million during the period.
  • As of September 30, 2023, dLocal had US$498.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, including US$191.8 million of own funds and US$306.4 million of merchants’ funds. The consolidated cash position decreased by US$44.1 million from US$542.3 million as of September 30, 2022. When compared to the US$549.4 million cash position as of June 30, 2023, it decreased by US$51.2 million, mainly driven by reduced settlement period to certain merchants and repatriation of funds in Argentina that were outstanding. In addition, we invested US$52.4 million dollars of our own funds in Argentine dollar-linked treasury bonds maturing in 2024. Own funds were up by US$15.1 million from US$176.7 million in the prior quarter.

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:

(“FTX”) services for the repatriation of funds from one country. On November 11, 2022, when FTX filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States, the Company had deposits of USD 5,576, whose withdrawals had not been processed by FTX. Such deposits were included in the loss allowance. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Group does not hold any positions in crypto assets.” During the three months ending September 2023, the Group reassessed the recovery probability of its deposits based on negotiations with third parties that are willing to acquire them and publicly available information. Thus, the Group recognized a gain of USD 2,509 as result of the reversion of the loss allowance for the period ending September 30, 2023. 3 It includes non-recurring costs related to an internal review of the allegations made by a short-seller report, including fees from independent counsel, independent global expert services and forensic accounting advisory firm.


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 9). 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.

Thus, the Group recognized a gain of USD 2,509 as result of the reversion of the loss allowance for the period ending September 30, 2023. 3 Following IAS 29 requirements, Argentina’s economy is considered hyperinflationary. In this sense, the financial statements of the Argentinian subsidiaries were restated to reflect the purchasing power of the currency and therefore a gain on net monetary position arose. 4 It includes non-recurring costs related to an internal review of the allegations made by a short-seller report, including fees from independent counsel, independent global expert services and forensic accounting advisory firm. 5During Q3 2023 we recognized a fair value gain of US$ 24.2 million (US$ 3.6 million in Q2 2023) from the Argentine dollar-linked bonds and an exchange difference loss of US$ 27.4 million (-US$ 1.8 million in Q2 2023) from the intercompany loan denominated in USD that we granted to our Argentine subsidiary to purchase the bonds. 6We calculated the tax impact on all adjustments based on their corresponding tax rate.


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 nine-month periods ended September 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.

The following table presents the information used as a basis for the calculation of our earnings per share:

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.

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 revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit CAGR and Adjusted EBITDA over gross profit. 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.

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.
