Mercadolibre Financials
Mercadolibre (MELI) reported $28.9B in revenue for fiscal year 2025, up 39.1% from the prior fiscal year. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
MercadoLibre’s dominant mechanic is cash generation far ahead of reported earnings, funding expansion while margins compress.
Across FY2023-FY2025, operating cash flow stayed multiple times above net income, reaching$12.1B versus net income of$2.0B in FY2025; cash production therefore materially exceeds accounting profit, although the statements do not identify how much reflects working-capital or financial-operations timing. Meanwhile, free cash flow margin rose to37.3% even as net margin fell from9.2% in FY2024, separating cash-generation capacity from the latest year’s earnings margin.
Revenue more than doubled from FY2022 to FY2025, but operating margin slipped to
Debt-to-equity held near 0.7x through FY2025 despite the much larger balance sheet, so expansion added liabilities without materially increasing debt relative to equity. The current ratio narrowed from 1.4x in FY2021 to 1.2x, showing current obligations have grown faster than current assets and leaving a thinner short-term liquidity cushion.
