First Quarter 2023

US$3.6 billion Total Payment Volume, up 70% year-over-year and 8% quarter-over-quarter

Revenue of US$137 million, up 57% year-over-year and 16% quarter-over-quarter

147% Net Revenue Retention Rate

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



Montevideo, Uruguay May 17th, 2023 — DLocal Limited (“dLocal”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) (NASDAQ:DLO), a technology - first payments platform today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.



”Our Q1 2023 results demonstrate, once again, our capacity to consistently deliver strong dollar growth across key metrics. Our TPV grew 70% year over year and 8% quarter-over-quarter reaching record US$3.6 billion. Our revenue grew 57% year over year and 16% quarter over quarter to record US$137.3 million. In addition, we added US$6.7 million gross profit and US$5.1 million Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2023.



Our strong performance is underpinned by the value our solution delivers to our global merchants, who quarter after quarter decide to continue growing their businesses with us; as well as positive tailwinds across the markets that we serve. In addition, our business has shown sustained and resilient growth supported by the diversity of our merchants across industry verticals, geographies, and products.



We continue to make disciplined investments in our infrastructure and our team to support our long term ambition. During Q1 2O23, we increased our headcount by 36% year-over-year to 763 employees. We have consistently maintained an Adjusted EBITDA over gross profit above 70% in the past nine quarters. However, we are still a young company in growth mode and we believe that over the long-term, there are opportunities to deliver operating leverage.



Our excellent results in the first quarter, combined with our strong cash generation, give us even more confidence in our winning strategy in emerging markets. We are very excited about the massive opportunity ahead of us and we remain focused on executing our long-term strategy.” said Sebastian Kanovich.

 

 

First quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

 

Total Payment Volume (“TPV”) reached a record US$3.6 billion in the first quarter, up 70% year-over-year compared to US$2.1 billion in the first quarter of 2022 and up 8% compared to US$3.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Revenues amounted to US$137.3 million, up 57% year-over-year compared to US$87.5 million in the first quarter of 2022 and up 16% compared to US$118.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Gross profit was US$61.8 million in the first quarter of 2023, up 42% year-over-year compared to US$43.6 million in the first quarter of 2022 and up 12% compared to US$55.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Gross profit over TPV remained stable compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 at 1.7% and decreased from 2.1% in the first quarter of 2022 mainly due to business mix.
 
Gross profit margin was 45% in this quarter, compared to 50% in the first quarter of 2022 and 47% in the fourth quarter of 2022. Gross profit margin was mainly impacted by a strong increase in volumes from global merchants in Nigeria, which brought positive gross profit dollars, but with a lower than average gross profit margin. Excluding Nigeria, gross profit margin reached 54% in the first quarter of 2023.
 

Adjusted EBITDA was US$45.5 million in the first quarter of 2023, up 38% year-over-year compared to US$32.9 million in the first quarter of 2022 and up 13% compared to US$40.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
 
As a result, Adjusted EBITDA margin was 33% in the first quarter of 2023, compared to 38% in the first quarter of 2022 and 34% in the fourth quarter of 2022. EBITDA margin varied in line with gross profit margin.
 
During the quarter we recorded a positive net financial result of US$1.4 million, which compares to a net loss of US$3.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and a net loss of US$1.3 million in the first quarter of 2022. The profit generated in the first quarter of 2023 was mainly driven by a reduction of the financial cost of hedges due to lower exposure and higher interest income as we continue increasing our cash and cash equivalents position.
 
Adjusted EBITDA over gross profit was 74% in the first quarter of 2023, compared to 73% in the fourth quarter of 2022 and compared to 75% a year ago.
 
Profit for the first quarter of 2023 was US$35.5 million, or US$0.11 per diluted share, up 35% compared to a profit of US$26.3 million, or US$0.08 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022 and up 83% compared to a profit of US$19.4 million, or US$0.06 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2022.
 
As of March 31, 2023, dLocal had US$517.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, including US$232.8 million of own funds and US$285.1 million of merchants’ funds. The consolidated cash position increased by US$107.8 million from US$410.1 million as of March 31, 2022. When compared to the US$468.1 million cash position as of December 31, 2022, it increased by US$49.8 million. During the first quarter of 2023, we invested US$36.9 million in our share buy-back program.
 
We continue to make progress in releasing cash that we had previously retained for certain merchants and partners. During the first quarter of 2023, we collected US$9.9 million of the US$12.9 million in advances we gave to some of our merchants in the fourth quarter of 2022. In addition, we recovered US$3.9 million of the restricted cash we held as guarantee for standby letters of credit. As a result, we released in aggregate US$13.8 million funds from restricted cash to our own cash, and, in turn, decreased the amount of Other Assets from US$56.8 million to US$43.0 million.

We look at a 12-month view to see a normalized view in order to assess the development of a region. In the last twelve months to Q1 2023, each of the main countries individually showed significant revenue growth greater than 20% year-over-year and 61% growth on the aggregate.
During the quarter, dLocal continued delivering strong revenue growth both from existing and from new customers. Revenue from Existing Merchants increased from US$87.4 million in the first quarter of 2022 to US$128.3 million. The net revenue retention rate, or NRR, in the first quarter of 2023 reached 147%.
Revenue from New Merchants was US$8.9 million in the first 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.

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 period ended March 31, 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 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 has been 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 in here corresponds to dLocal Malta, our predecessor. This reorganization was done, among other things, to facilitate the initial public offering of the Group. dLocal had no prior assets, holdings or operations

DLocal Limited

Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements

At March 31, 2023

(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”) is a holding company, referred to together with its subsidiaries as the “Group”. dLocal is a limited liability company. The Group was established on October 5, 2016, under the holding company dLocal Group Limited, domiciled and incorporated in Malta, and on April 14, 2021 it was reorganized under dLocal, domiciled and incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The Company is the ultimate controlling party of the Group.
 

 

The Group processes payment transactions, enabling merchants located in developed economies (mainly United States, Europe and China) to get paid (“payins”) from customers in emerging markets and to make payments (“payouts”) to customers in emerging markets. As of the date of issuance of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements, the Group continued to focus on its expansion efforts bringing the total number of countries in the geographic network to 40.
 

 

In order to conduct its business, the Group has direct connections with banks, acquirers and payments processors to process payments locally in emerging markets. It also operates with financial institutions to expatriate/repatriate the funds to/from the developed economies where the merchant customers elect to settle their funds in the currency of their preference (mainly U.S. Dollar and Euro). These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements include dLocal’s subsidiaries and details of the structure are included under Note 4: Consolidation of 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 40 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 amended texts of the proposed Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (“AMLR”).

 


1.2. Significant events during the period


Class action lawsuits

On February 23 and February 28, 2023, respectively, DLocal Limited was named, along with several of its senior executives and/or directors, as defendant 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 mentioned in note 1.3.e). These matters, captioned 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.), 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, which application remains pending. 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. In accordance with the parties’ agreed-upon schedule, DLO’s motion to dismiss the complaint is due on July 11, 2023.

Due to the preliminary posture of the Actions as of the date of issuance of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, the Company is unable to evaluate the likelihood of an adverse outcome or estimate a range of potential losses. DLocal Limited intends to defend itself vigorously in these actions.

2.3. New accounting pronouncements

 

The Group has not early adopted the following standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective:

 

Amendments to IFRS 16 - Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

 

On September 22, 2022, the IASB issued Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS 16)' with amendments that clarify how a seller-lessee subsequently measures sale and leaseback transactions that satisfy the requirements in IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Earlier application is permitted. The Company has not opted for early application. The management of the Company does not anticipate that the application of this amendment will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 

 

Amendments to IAS 1 - Non-current Liabilities with Covenants
 

 

On October 31, 2022, the IASB issued 'Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1)' to clarify how conditions with which an entity must comply within twelve months after the reporting period affect the classification of a liability. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Earlier application is permitted. The Company has not opted for early application. The management of the Company does not anticipate that the application of this amendment will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

The Group did not change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of new accounting standards made applicable on January 1, 2023.


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.

5. Segment reporting

 

The Group operates in a single operating segment, which is “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, who in the Group’s case is the Executive Team, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Executive Team is composed of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), the President and Chief Operating Officer (“COO”), and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”).



The Executive Team evaluates the Group’s financial information and resources and assess the financial performance of these resources on a consolidated basis on the basis of Revenues, 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. The Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the consolidated 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 inflation adjustment, other operating gain/loss, impairment gain/loss on financial assets, secondary offering expenses, transaction costs, other non-recurring costs and share-based payment non-cash charges. The Group defines Adjusted EBITDA Margin as the Adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated revenues.

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:

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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 three months ended March 31, 2023 (0.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2022).
