Earnings releases typically highlight strong TPV, revenue and profit growth; share reactions have been mixed, with three positive and two negative moves despite generally upbeat fundamentals.
Over the last five earnings cycles, dLocal consistently reported rapid TPV and revenue growth with expanding profitability. Events on Feb 27, 2025 and Nov 12, 2025 delivered record metrics yet saw negative 24‑hour moves, while earnings on Aug 13, 2025, May 14, 2025, and Nov 13, 2024 produced double‑digit gains. The current Q4/FY25 release continues the pattern of record TPV, revenue above $1B, and strong net income and cash generation.
Historical Comparison
Across the last five earnings releases, DLO’s average 24‑hour move was 3.43%, with both strong rallies and sharp sell‑offs despite consistently robust growth metrics.
Recent earnings show TPV climbing from $6.5B in Q3 2024 to $10.4B in Q3 2025, with recurring records in revenue, gross profit and adjusted EBITDA, culminating in FY25 revenue above $1B.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock is up +7.0% following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with dLocal’s pattern of delivering record TPV, revenue and profit growth, as seen with prior earnings moves up to 31.31%. However, history also shows sharp sell‑offs after good results, and Q4 2025 margins compressed versus prior periods. Investors have to weigh robust cash generation, the US$57.2M dividend and US$300M buyback against emerging‑market FX and tax risks highlighted in the outlook.

Fourth 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
$13.1 billion in the fourth quarter, up70% year-over-year compared to US$7.7 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024 and up26% compared to US$10.4 billion in the third quarter of 2025. In constant currency, TPV growth for the period would have been64% year-over-year. - Revenues amounted to US
$337.9 million , up65% year-over-year compared to US$204.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and up20% compared to US$282.5 million in the third quarter of 2025. In constant currency, revenue growth for the period would have been69% year-over-year. - Gross profit was US
$115.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, up38% compared to US$83.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and up12% compared to US$103.2 million in the third quarter of 2025. The quarter-over-quarter comparison is explained by the (i) strong seasonal e-commerce growth in Brazil, supported by solid trends across streaming, advertising, financial services and remittances; (ii) partial recovery in Egypt, reflecting the return of a large merchant and ramp-up of new e-commerce, streaming, and ride-hailing merchants; (iii) strong volume growth in Mexico across e-commerce, on-demand delivery and ride-hailing; and (iv) broad-based growth in Other Africa & Asia, with notable South Africa contribution. These results were partially offset by Argentina, given higher costs amid election-related FX and rate volatility. In constant currency, gross profit growth for the period would have been34% year-over-year. - As a result, gross profit margin was
34% in this quarter, compared to41% in the fourth quarter of 2024 and37% in the third quarter of 2025. - Gross profit over TPV was at
0.88% , decreasing from1.09% in the fourth quarter of 2024 and0.99% compared to the third quarter of 2025, reflecting our the strong TPV momentum and the natural margin pressure dynamic of scaling volume with established merchants and into new payment methods, products and countries. - Operating profit was US
$62.7 million , up48% compared to US$42.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and up13% compared to US$55.6 million in the third quarter of 2025. Operating expenses grew by28% year-over-year, as we continue to invest in our capabilities. On the sequential comparison, operating expenses increased by12% quarter-over-quarter, driven primarily by headcount growth and the merit salary cycle. - As a result, Adjusted EBITDA was US
$78.4 million , up38% compared to US$56.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and up9% compared to US$71.7 million in the third quarter of 2025. - Adjusted EBITDA margin was
23% , compared to the28% recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024 and25% in the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA over gross profit of68% increased compared to68% in the fourth quarter of 2024 and decreased compared to69% in the third quarter of 2025. - Net financial result was US
$3.4 million gain, compared to a net finance loss of US$1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and a net finance gain of US$6.4 million in the third quarter of 2025. - Our effective income tax rate for the period was
14% , broadly in line with the prior quarters. - Net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was US
$55.6 million , or US$0.18 per diluted share, up87% compared to a profit of US$29.7 million , or US$0.10 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024 and up7% compared to a profit of US$51.8 million , or US$0.17 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2025. During the current period, net income was driven by continued operating profit expansion. - Adjusted Free cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2025 amounted to US
$64.9 million , up100% year-over-year compared to US$32.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and up73% compared to US$37.6 million in the third quarter of 2025. The variation quarter-over-quarter is mostly explained by higher net cash from operating activities. As mentioned in the last earnings release, the third quarter 2025 was negatively affected by a short term impact of$13.1 million related to the structuring used to expatriate flows from Argentina after regulatory changes. - As of December 31, 2025, dLocal had US
$719.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, which includes US$424.5 million of Corporate cash and cash equivalents. The Corporate cash and cash equivalents increased by US$106.7 million from US$317.8 million as of December 31, 2024. When compared to the US$333.1 million Corporate cash and cash equivalents position as of September 30, 2025, it increased by US$91.4 million quarter-over-quarter.

Consider the following in connection with our guidance: emerging markets remain volatile, reflecting the evolving global macroeconomic, currency and trade landscape and its potential impact on these economies. Our key exposures include the evolving Brazilian tax environment, Argentine FX, tariff sensitivity (particularly in Mexico), electoral uncertainty across the region, and broader FX risk across our emerging market footprint.

Additionally, given our confidence that the business will generate significant cash in the medium term beyond our minimum liquidity requirements and dividend policy commitments, and rather than hold excess cash on our balance sheet, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program to purchase up to US
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.
The table below presents a reconciliation of dLocal’s Adjusted EBITDA to net income:
| $ in thousands | Three months ended on December 31 | Year ended on December 31 | ||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Profit for the period | 55,637 | 29,701 | 196,902 | 120,469 |

Note: 1 The Company wrote off certain amounts primarily related to merchants and processors that have been off-boarded or for which the balances are no longer considered recoverable by dLocal.
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 16 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and Note 21 to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“FY25 Financial statements” and “FY24 Financial Statements”, respectively)), plus (ii) changes in Trade payables (disclosed in Note 21 to our FY25 and FY24 Financial Statements), plus (iii) changes in Other tax liabilities (disclosed in note 23 to our FY25 and FY24 Financial Statements). 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.
The table below presents a reconciliation of dLocal’s Adjusted Free Cash Flow reconciliation:
| $ in thousands (except percentages) | Three months ended on December 31 | Year ended on December 31 | ||

| Adjusted Free Cash Flow | 64,915 | 32,503 | 190,690 | 90,602 |
Note: 1 Changes in working capital (merchant) consists of (i) changes in the period in the balance of trade receivables net, plus (ii) changes in the period in the balance of trade payables, plus (iii) changes in the period in the balance of other tax liabilities. 2 Capital expenditures consist of acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and Additions of Intangible Assets.
