Montevideo, Uruguay, August 13, 2026 — DLocal Limited (“dLocal”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) (NASDAQ:DLO), the leading cross-border financial infrastructure platform connecting global merchants to emerging markets, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
dLocal’s management team will host a conference call and audio webcast on August 13, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Please click here to pre-register for the conference call and obtain your dial in number and passcode.
The live conference call can be accessed via audio webcast at the investor relations section of dLocal’s website, at https://investor.dlocal.com/. An archive of the webcast will be available for a year following the conclusion of the conference call. The investor presentation will also be filed on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

“TPV growth has remained above 50% year-over-year for seven consecutive quarters, with the last three quarters at or above 70%. Growth has also accelerated over the past five quarters, reaching its highest year-over-year rate in four years. Although the pace and scale of this growth will naturally create more demanding comparisons as we move through the second half of the year and into 2027, what we are seeing today reflects the positive returns on the investments we have made in our platform and portfolio of licenses. It is also a testament to the trust merchants place in us as they build and grow across emerging markets,” said Pedro Arnt, CEO of dLocal.


Second quarter 2026 financial highlights
dLocal reports in US dollars and in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB

●Total Payment Volume (“TPV”) reached US$17.7 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up 92% year-over-year compared to US$9.2 billion in the second quarter of 2025 and up 26% compared to US$14.1 billion in the first quarter of 2026. In constant currency, TPV growth for the period would have been 80% year-over-year.
●Revenues amounted to US$399.7 million, up 56% year-over-year compared to US$256.5 million in the second quarter of 2025 and up 19% compared to US$335.9 million in the first quarter of 2026. In constant currency, revenue growth for the period would have been 50% year-over-year. The quarter-over-quarter comparison was driven by volume growth.
●Gross profit was US$127.2 million in the second quarter of 2026, a new record, up 29% compared to US$98.9 million in the second quarter of 2025 and up 7% compared to US$118.7 million in the first quarter of 2026. In constant currency, gross profit growth for the period would have been 23% year-over-year. The quarterly comparison was driven by (i) Brazil, supported by the ramp-up of ride-hailing and travel merchants alongside sustained e-commerce growth; (ii) Argentina, driven by broad-based growth across e-commerce, ride-hailing and on-demand delivery, as well as lower advancement costs; partially offset by (iii) Mexico, with large Tier 0 merchants hitting higher volume pricing tier along


with cost pressure. Underlying volume and revenue growth (64% YoY) remain solid; and (iv) Africa and Asia, with lower contribution from higher FX spread markets (Mozambique and Vietnam) and one-off cost increase in Nigeria.
●As a result, gross profit margin was 32% in this quarter, compared to 39% in the second quarter of 2025 and 35% in the first quarter of 2026.
●Gross profit over TPV was at 0.72%, decreasing from 1.07% in the second quarter of 2025 and from 0.84% in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting the higher local-to-local share, the ramp-up of large merchants, and the natural margin dynamics of scaling volume with established merchants and into new payment methods, products, and countries.
●Operating expenses reached US$63.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, up 46% year-over-year and down 4% quarter-over-quarter. The year- over-year increase reflects the annualization of investments made in the second half of 2025, higher average salaries driven by the annual merit cycle and a limited number of senior strategic hires, and higher marketing spend concentrated in the first half around the World Cup campaign and large merchant events. The sequential decrease partly reflects the absence of the US$4.4 million non-recurring prior-year tax item recorded in OPEX in the first quarter of 2026.
●As a result, Operating profit was US$64.2 million, up 15% year-over-year and 22% quarter-over- quarter. The Operating Profit to Gross Profit ratio was 50%, up 6 p.p. quarter-over-quarter compared to 44% as reported in the first quarter of 2026 and down 6 p.p. year-over-year compared to 56% as reported in the second quarter of 2025.
●Net financial result was a US$2.3 million gain, compared to a net finance loss of US$3.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 and a net finance gain of US$5.2 million in the first quarter of 2026.
●Our effective income tax rate for the period was approximately 16%, in line with the second quarter of 2025 and lower when compared to 26% for the first quarter of 2026, which was elevated by the non-recurring prior-period adjustment, as explained in the previous quarter.
●Net income for the second quarter of 2026 was US$54.8 million, or US$0.18 per diluted share, up 28% compared to a profit of US$42.8 million, or US$0.14 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025, and up 31% compared to a profit of US$41.9 million, or US$0.14 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026. The quarterly comparison is explained by higher operational profit and lower tax expenses.
●Adjusted free cash flow for the second quarter of 2026 amounted to US$68.5 million, up 41% year-over-year compared to US$48.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, and up substantially compared to US$14.7 million in the first quarter of 2026. The improvement reflects the normalization of the temporary working-capital effects (including timing in tax-credit netting and receivables from advancement operations) that had weighed on the first quarter of 2026.
●As of June 30, 2026, dLocal had US$794.9 million in total cash and cash equivalents, which includes US$369.1 million of Corporate cash and cash equivalents. The Corporate cash and cash equivalents increased by US$115.3 million from US$253.8 million as of June 30, 2025. When compared to the US$451.8 million Corporate cash and cash equivalents position as of March 31, 2026, it decreased by US$82.7 million quarter-over-quarter, explained by the dividends payment and execution of the share repurchase program. Under the $300 million program authorized in March 2026, the Company has repurchased approximately 6.9 million Class A shares for US$86.1 million through the end of the second quarter.
●Before the date of this release, and following the Board of Directors’ approval of the Company’s financial statements for the second quarter of 2026, ended June 30, 2026, on August 12, 2026 we entered into a credit agreement with certain of our subsidiaries as initial guarantors and the lenders party thereto, providing for a U.S.$150.0 million senior unsecured credit facility. The facility matures on August 14, 2029, and is repayable in 11 equal, quarterly installments of US$13.6 million each, plus interest, commencing six months following the borrowing date, as specified in the Credit Agreement. Interest accrues at Term SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) plus 2.00% per annum. The proceeds of the facility are intended to be used for general corporate purposes.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow reconciliation

We calculate “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” as net cash (used in) / generated from cash flows from operating activities, less (i) changes in working capital (merchant), and (ii) capital expenditures. The working capital (merchant) is defined as (i) changes in Trade receivables net (disclosed in Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2026), plus (ii) changes in Trade payables (disclosed in Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2026), plus (iii) changes in Other tax liabilities (disclosed in note 21 to our consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2026). Capital expenditures consist of acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and additions of intangible assets.

Management uses Adjusted Free Cash Flow as a measure for evaluating the Company's cash generation and the cash available for distribution to our shareholders as dividends pursuant to our dividend policy. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is not a financial measure recognized under IFRS and does not purport to be an alternative to cash generated from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity. Our presentation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. See below for a reconciliation of our Adjusted Free Cash Flow to the nearest IFRS measure.
