First quarter 2025 financial highlights

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

 

Total Payment Volume (“TPV”) reached a record US$8.1 billion in the first quarter, up 53% year-over-year compared to US$5.3 billion in the first quarter of 2024 and up 5% compared to US$7.7 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024. In constant currency, TPV growth for the period would have been 72% year-over-year.
Revenues amounted to US$216.8 million, up 18% year-over-year compared to US$184.4 million in the first quarter of 2024 and up 6% compared to US$204.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. This quarter-over-quarter increase, above TPV growth, was driven by higher cross-border share in the mix, and partially offset by Mexico, given the commerce seasonality effect in the fourth quarter and partial volume loss with a large merchant. In constant currency, revenue growth for the period would have been 36% year-over-year.
Gross profit was US$84.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, up 35% compared to US$63.0 million in the first quarter of 2024 and up 1% compared to US$83.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The quarter-over-quarter comparison was primarily due to (i) Argentina, with gross profit following revenue trends, in addition to increasing advancement volumes (which have higher take rates) and wider FX spreads in Q1 2025 vs Q4 2024; and (ii) Other LatAm markets, with notable performance in Chile. These positive factors were partially offset by (i) Brazil, due to the migration to the Payment Orchestration model, which brings lower take rates, coupled with one-off incremental processing costs; and (ii) Mexico, as explained above. In addition, despite volume growth across various countries, Other Africa and Asia was adversely affected by increased processing costs in South Africa and Nigeria. In constant currency, gross profit growth for the period would have been 59% year-over-year.
As a result, gross profit margin was 39% in this quarter, compared to 34% in the first quarter of 2024 and 41% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Gross profit over TPV was at 1.05% decreasing from 1.19% in the first quarter of 2024 and from 1.09% compared to the

 


 

fourth quarter of 2024.
Operating profit was US$45.8 million, up 70% compared to US$26.9 million in the first quarter of 2024 and up 8% compared to US$42.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Operating expenses grew by 8% year-over-year, explained by the increase in headcount, as we continue to invest in our capabilities. On the sequential comparison, operating expenses decreased by 6% quarter-over-quarter, primarily attributed to a reduction in G&A and Technology & Development expenses, driven by the decrease in third-party services, travel expenses and timing of implementation of new initiatives. This decrease was partially offset by the growth in headcount and increase in Sales & Marketing expenses, driven by key commercial events.
As a result, Adjusted EBITDA was US$57.9 million, up 57% compared to US$36.8 million in the first quarter of 2024 and up 2% compared to US$56.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA margin was 27%, compared to the 20% recorded in the first quarter of 2024 and 28% in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA over gross profit of 68% increased compared to 58% in the first quarter of 2024 and slightly increased compared to 68% in the fourth quarter of 2024, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of improvement.
Net financial result was US$7.0 million gain, compared to a net finance gain of US$0.2 million in the first quarter of 2024 and a net finance loss of US$1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, as explained in the Net Income section.
Our effective income tax rate decreased to 10% from 27% last quarter (or 16% when excluding the tax settlement, as mentioned in the fourth quarter earnings release), as result of higher cross-border share of pre-tax income and a lower pre-tax income in Brazil given the higher costs, as explained previously.
Net income for the first quarter of 2025 was US$46.7 million, or US$0.15 per diluted share, up 163% compared to a profit of US$17.7 million, or US$0.06 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024 and up 57% compared to a profit of US$29.7 million, or US$0.10 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2024. During the current period, net income was mostly affected by the positive non-cash mark to market effect related to our Argentine bond investments and lower finance costs.
Free cash flow for the first quarter of 2025 amounted to US$39.7 million, up 200% year-over-year compared to US$13.2 million in the first quarter of 2024 and up 22% compared to US$32.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The variation quarter-over-quarter is primarily explained by improved operational results, partially offset by normal variability in corporate working capital and higher income tax paid and capex.
As of March 31, 2025, dLocal had US$511.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, which includes US$355.9 million of Corporate cash and cash equivalents. The Corporate cash and cash equivalents increased by US$58.0 million from US$298.0 million as of March 31, 2024, despite the US$100 million in shares repurchased throughout 2024. When compared to the US$317.8 million Corporate cash and cash equivalents position as of December 31, 2024, it increased by US$38.1 million quarter-over-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 finance income and costs, impairment gains/(losses) on financial assets, transaction costs, share-based payment non-cash charges,other operating gain/loss,other non-recurring costs, and inflation adjustment. dLocal defines Adjusted EBITDA Margin as the Adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated revenues. dLocal defines Adjusted EBITDA to Gross Profit Ratio as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Gross Profit. Although Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA to Gross Profit Ratio may be commonly viewed as non-IFRS measures in other contexts, pursuant to IFRS 8, (“Operating Segments”), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA to Gross Profit Ratio are treated by dLocal as IFRS measures based on the manner in which dLocal utilizes these measures. Nevertheless, dLocal’s Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA to Gross Profit Ratio 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, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA to Gross Profit Ratio 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 because dLocal cannot reliably predict certain of their necessary components, such as impairment gains/(losses) on financial assets, transaction costs, and inflation adjustment.

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, revenue, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA. 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, because dLocal cannot reliably predict certain of their necessary components, such as impairment gains/(losses) on financial assets, transaction costs, and inflation adjustment.

DLocal Limited

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements

At March 31, 2025

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

 

 

1. General information and significant events of 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. These Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements include dLocal’s subsidiaries.

 

The Group processes payment transactions, enabling merchants generally 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.

 

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).

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, where applicable, in many countries in emerging markets, primarily in the Americas, Asia and Africa. In December 2024, the Group achieved a significant advancement by obtaining a license in the United Kingdom as an Authorized Payment Institution (API), further enhancing its global regulatory framework.

 

In addition, the Group is subject to laws aimed at preventing money laundering, corruption, and the financing of terrorism. The regulatory landscape continues to evolve, with recent developments including the implementation of the Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (MLD5) and the upcoming creation of a new EU Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA).

1.2. Significant events during the period

a)
Class action lawsuits

On February 23 and February 28, 2023, respectively, the Company was named, along with several of its 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 a 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 the Company’s 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, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Plaintiffs filed their opposition brief on August 15, 2023, and the Company filed a reply in further support of its motion to dismiss on September 22, 2023. On February 29, 2024,

 


 

the court presided over oral argument on the motion. On March 20, 2025, the court issued a decision and order granting the motion and dismissing the complaint as to all moving defendants, including dLocal. On April 18, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the decision and order granting the motion to dismiss. The plaintiffs have until October 18, 2025 to “perfect” their appeal by filing their opening appellate brief and the record on appeal.

The Company has also been named, along with several of its 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 the Company’s 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, the Company 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 the Company’s motion to dismiss. The Company served its opening brief on August 9, 2024, Lead Plaintiff served an opposition on October 11, 2024, and the Company served its reply on November 8, 2024. The court has not yet indicated whether it will hear oral argument on the Company’s motion, and no other proceedings are currently ongoing or scheduled.

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 Company’s 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 has 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 Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements there were no further updates in this regard.

b)
Developments in Argentina

Argentina is subject to extensive foreign exchange regulations. We regularly consult with our legal advisors in Argentina regarding the applicability of these regulations to our operations. Additionally, in 2023, certain administrative and judicial inquiries were initiated concerning our Argentinean subsidiary, dLocal Argentina S.A. These inquiries do not seek penalties at this stage. Based on consultations with our legal advisors, we believe our activities comply with applicable laws and regulations, including foreign exchange and tax regulations. As of the date of this filing, no new developments have emerged in 2025 regarding these matters.

 

 


 

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

 

2.1. Basis of preparation of Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements

 

These Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025, 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, 2024 (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 three months ended March 31, 2025 were authorized for issuance by dLocal’s Board of Directors on May 13, 2025.

 

2.2. New accounting pronouncements

 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2025. Amendment to IAS 21 - Lack of Exchangeability applied for the first time in 2025, which does not have a material impact on the Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements of the Group.

 

2.3. 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 Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements. The Company is assessing the impact of the standards and plans to adopt these new standards, amendments, and interpretation, if applicable, when they become effective.

 

IFRS 18 - Presentation and disclosure in financial statements (effective on January 1, 2027)

On April 9, 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 January 1, 2027, and also applies to comparative information.

 

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure (effective on January 1, 2026)

 


 

 

On May 30, 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 fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”).

 

IFRS 19 - Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (effective on January 1, 2027)

 

On May 9, 2024, the IASB has issued a new IFRS Accounting Standard for subsidiaries.

 

An eligible subsidiary applies the requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards except for the disclosure requirements and instead applies the reduced disclosure requirements in IFRS 19. IFRS 19’s reduced disclosure requirements balance the information needs of the users of eligible subsidiaries’ financial statements with cost savings for preparers. IFRS 19 is a voluntary standard for eligible subsidiaries.

 


 

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

 


 

4. Consolidation of subsidiaries

 

DLocal Limited is the Group parent and acts as a holding company for all subsidiaries. dLocal’s main activity is the processing of cross-border and local payments, enabling international merchants to access end customers in emerging markets. Its principal sources of revenue include dividends from subsidiaries and profit-sharing payments from subsidiary partnerships.

There were no changes since December 31, 2024 in the accounting practices adopted for consolidation of the Company’s direct and indirect interests in its subsidiaries for the purposes of these Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements. No new entities were incorporated or acquired by the Group during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.

 


 

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”) which is the group’s executive team represented by executive officers and directors. 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 assesses 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 in hyperinflationary environments, other operating losses, 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 its Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to profit for the period as presented in the Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim Statements of Comprehensive Income as follows:

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 three months period ended of March 31:

(i) As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Group held a total of nominal value USD 41,146 and USD 42,052, respectively, as security for the borrowings detailed in Note 23.

 

(b)
Amounts recognized in profit or loss

 

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

 

(c)
Risk exposure and fair value measurements

 

The Group’s financial assets at fair value through profit or loss consist of Argentina Treasury Notes and Bonds that are listed on the Argentinean Stock Exchange (Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos - BYMA) and of Brazil Money Markets that are public treasury bills issued by Brazilian government and traded in the B3 (Brazil Stock Exchange). For the investments classified as FVPL, the impact of a 10% increase in the listed prices at the reporting date on profit or loss would have been an increase of USD 10,113 after tax. An equal change in the opposite direction would have decreased profit or loss by USD 10,113 after tax.

 

 


 

17. Trade and other receivables

 

Trade and other receivables of the Group are composed of the following:

 

Current

Trade receivables represent uncollateralized gross amounts due from acquirers, processors, merchants and collection entities for services performed that will be collected in less than one year. As a result, they are classified as current. All Trade and other receivables have been assigned a “normal” credit risk rating which applies to financial assets for which a significant increase in credit risk has not occurred since initial recognition.

 

Advances and other receivables include payments made in advance as well as tax credits.

 

Loss allowance and impairment losses

For purposes of 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.

 

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 was determined at 0.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (0.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2024).

Amounts held in escrow also include funds held in a pledge account to collateralize overdrafts and pre-settlements agreements with a bank. It also includes guarantees issued to processors and credit cards institutions. These agreements have short-term maturities.
(ii)
In December 2024, dLocal entered into a three-month credit facility agreement with a third party payment services provider as a working capital facility of USD 10,000 at 7% annual interest rate. In March 2025, the total credit facility outstanding balance increased to USD 20,000 as specific conditions have been met during the first quarter of 2025. This agreement encompasses a call option that grants dLocal the right to acquire designated entities or groups of assets from the borrower. The exercise of this option is strictly subject to prior approval by relevant regulatory authorities in the applicable jurisdictions. The exercisable period for the call option extends from January 1, 2025, to a date that is 10 business days following the repayment of the credit facility. In March 2025, the agreement was amended to extend the maturity period by an additional three months, terminating on June 30, 2025, resulting in a total maturity period of six months from the initial agreement date. To mitigate credit risk, the borrower has pledged guarantees. As of March 31, 2025, dLocal maintained no potential voting rights or significant influence over the borrower. The instrument is classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) in accordance with IFRS 9.

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 statement of financial position 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 is 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.

24. Provisions

 

(a) Current or potential proceedings for labor provisions and civil claims

 

The Group has been associated with civil and labor lawsuits that present risk of potential loss. Provisions for losses arising from these lawsuits and potential labor contingencies are recognized when management, based on assessments by the Group’s legal advisors, determines that an outflow of resources is more likely than not required to settle the obligation and that a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.

 

As of March 31, 2025, the total amount recognized for existing contingencies classified as probable by the Group, as evaluated by its legal advisors, is USD 543. This amount includes provisions for labor contractor claims and civil claims.

(c) Other legal matters

a)
Class action lawsuits

On February 23 and February 28, 2023, respectively, the Company was named, along with several of its 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 a 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 the Company’s 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, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Plaintiffs filed their opposition brief on August 15, 2023, and the Company filed a reply in further support of its motion to dismiss on September 22, 2023. On February 29, 2024, the court presided over oral argument on the motion. On March 20, 2025, the court issued a decision and order granting the motion and dismissing the complaint as to all moving defendants, including dLocal. On April 18, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the decision and order granting the motion to dismiss. The plaintiffs have until October 18, 2025 to “perfect” their appeal by filing their opening appellate brief and the record on appeal.

The Company has also been named, along with several of its 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 the Company’s 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, the Company 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 the Company’s motion to dismiss. The Company served its opening brief on August 9, 2024, Lead Plaintiff served an opposition on October 11, 2024, and the Company served its reply on November 8, 2024. The court has not yet indicated whether it will hear oral argument on the Company’s motion, and no other proceedings are currently ongoing or scheduled.

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 Company’s 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 has 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 Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements there were no further updates in this regard.

b)
Developments in Argentina

Argentina is subject to extensive foreign exchange regulations. We regularly consult with our legal advisors in Argentina regarding the applicability of these regulations to our operations. Additionally, in 2023, certain administrative and judicial inquiries were initiated concerning our Argentinean subsidiary, dLocal Argentina S.A. These inquiries do not seek penalties at this stage. Based on consultations with our legal advisors, we believe our activities comply with applicable laws and regulations, including foreign exchange and tax regulations. As of the date of this filing, no new developments have emerged in 2025 regarding these matters.

 

 


 

25. Related parties

 

 

(a) Related Parties Transactions

 

In June 2023, Dlocal Argentina S.A. entered into a loan agreement with DLocal Group for a total amount of USD 100,000, which currently matures in August 2025. In August 2024, Dlocal Argentina partially repaid the intra-group loan by transferring approximately USD 69,100 worth of Argentine government bonds to the subsidiary in Malta. In October 2024, Dlocal Argentina S.A. made an additional repayment of USD 5,000, reducing the outstanding loan balance. Since both subsidiaries are fully consolidated, the outstanding balances have been eliminated. The primary impact on the Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements relates to foreign exchange losses incurred by Dlocal Argentina S.A. For further detail refer to Note 11: Other Results.

26. Fair value hierarchy

 

The following tables show financial instruments recognized at fair value for the period ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, analyzed between those whose fair value is based on:

 

• Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

• Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

• Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based upon observable market data.

 

The table also includes financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The Group determined that the book value of such instruments approximates their fair value.

Any declaration of dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors, having regard to the best interests of the Company and any limitations imposed by law and our memorandum and articles of association and will depend on our financial condition, earnings, cash needs, regulatory constraints, contractual obligations, capital requirements (including requirements of our subsidiaries and the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us) and any other factors that our board of directors deems relevant in making such a determination. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will pay any dividends to holders of our common shares, or as to the amount of any such dividends.
