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 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 year as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income as follows:

The Group’s revenue, results and assets for this one reportable segment can be determined by reference to the consolidated statement of income and of comprehensive income and consolidated balance sheet. Disaggregated information is only reviewed at the revenue level with no corresponding detail at any margin or profitability levels.

As required by IFRS 8: Operating Segments, below are presented applicable entity-wide disclosures related to dLocal’s revenues.

Disaggregated Revenue by region

The Group derives its revenues from delivering services to international merchants (mainly in the United States, Europe, and China), enabling them to receive payments and facilitate payments in emerging markets. The Group has operations in more than 40 countries, where its merchant customers operate.

The following table presents the Group’s revenue by region based on the country in which the end users of our merchant customers executed their payments. This presentation does not imply that revenue is generated, sourced, or subject to taxation in the respective country. Revenue recognition is based on IFRS principles and reflects the contractual relationships between the Group, its merchants, and its operating companies. For financial reporting purposes, regions are disclosed separately only if payments from/to merchant customers in a given region represented at least 10% of Total Revenues during the preceding four quarters.
