Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements
At March 31, 2024
(All amounts in thousands of U.S. Dollars except share data or as otherwise indicated)
1. General information and Significant Events during 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.
The Group processes payment transactions, enabling merchants 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. As of the date these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements were issued, the Group continued its focus on geographic expansion, increasing the total number of in-network countries.
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). These consolidated condensed interim financial statements include dLocal’s subsidiaries.
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, as applicable, in many countries in emerging markets, primarily in the Americas, Asia and Africa.
In addition, the Group is subject to laws aimed at preventing money laundering, corruption and the financing of terrorism. This regulatory landscape is constantly changing, including as a consequence of the implementation of the Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (Directive (EU) 2018/843, “MLD5”) and the proposed amendments to the MLD4, often referred to as the fourth Anti-Money Laundering Directive.
1.2. Significant events during the period
(a) Class action lawsuits
On February 23 and February 28, 2023, respectively, we were named, along with several of our 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 the 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 our 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, we filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Plaintiffs filed their opposition brief on August 15, 2023, and we filed a reply in further support of our motion to dismiss on September 22, 2023. Our motion to dismiss is now fully briefed, and, on February 29, 2024, the court presided over
oral argument on the motion. The court has not yet issued a decision on the motion, and no other proceedings are currently ongoing or scheduled.
We have also been named, along with several of our 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 our 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, we 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 will respond to that letter by May 14, 2024.
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 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 have 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 interim financial statements there were no further updates in this regard.
(b) Developments in Argentina
Argentina is subject to extensive foreign exchange regulations which were revised as recently as December 2023. We and our legal advisors consider our activities to be carried out in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including compliance with foreign exchange market and tax regulations. As of the date of this interim report, no provision for contingencies has been recorded for the aforementioned matters.
Additionally, given the magnitude of our business in Argentina, we continue to show additional economic commitment to make an aggregate investment over time in the country.On March 15, 2024 and March 18, 2024, the Group has made two acquisitions of the TV25 bond and acquired with own funds 2,252,755 bonds, issued by the Treasury department of Argentina through a public bidding process. Furthermore, see note 15 Financial Assets at Fair Value through profit or loss of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Interim Report.
2. Presentation and preparation of the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements and significant accounting policies
2.1. Basis of preparation of consolidated condensed interim financial information
These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board.
These 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, 2023 (the “Annual Financial Statements”).
The accounting policies and critical accounting estimates and judgments adopted, except for those explicitly indicated on these 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 Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were authorized for issuance by the dLocal’s Board of Directors on May 13, 2024.
2.2. Share-based payments
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 , the Group granted new share options and restricted share units under the Amended and Restated 2020 Global Share Incentive Plan to executives and employees in return for their services, which represented changes in the composition of share options outstanding at the end of the period.
2.2.1. Employee Share Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)
Set out below are summaries of restricted share units and share options granted under the plan:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
| | Average | | | | Average | | |
| | exercise price | | Number of | | exercise price | | Number of |
| | (U.S. Dollars) | | options, PSUs and RSUs | | (U.S. Dollars) | | options and RSUs |
At the beginning of the period | | 6.86 | | 6,962,302 | | 8.30 | | 3,534,561 |
Granted during the period | | 10.72 | | 553,561 | | 5.53 | | 4,340,239 |
Exercised during the period | | — | | — | | 2.25 | | (663,897) |
Forfeited during the period | | 15.16 | | (109,096) | | 14.06 | | (248,601) |
At the end of the period | | 7.25 | | 7,406,767 | | 6.86 | | 6,962,302 |
Vested and exercisable at the end of the period | | 3.60 | | 1,872,904 | | 7.03 | | 704,006 |
No options expired during the periods covered by the above table.
As of March 31, 2024, the Group has 204,685 PSUs, 3,783,282 RSUs, and 3,418,800 Stock Options outstanding.
As of March 31, 2024, total compensation expense of the plans was USD 4,461 (March 31, 2023 - USD 2,329) as presented in Note 9 Employee Benefits.
2.3. New accounting pronouncements
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2024. The Company is assessing the impact of the standard.
2.4. Impact of IFRS Accounting Standards issued but not yet applied by the Group
In August 2023, the IASB amended IAS 21 to help entities to determine whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency, and which spot exchange rate to use when it is not. These new requirements will apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025. The Company is assessing the impact of the standard.
On 9 April 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 1 January 2027 and also applies to comparative information.
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 critical accounting estimates and judgments adopted on these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.
4. Consolidation of subsidiaries
DLocal Limited, located in Cayman Islands, is the parent company of the Group and acts as a holding company for subsidiaries whose main activity is cross-border and local payments, enabling international merchants to access end customers in emerging markets. Its revenue comes from dividends receivable from subsidiaries and share of profit from subsidiary partnership.
There were no changes since December 31, 2023 in the accounting practices adopted for consolidation of the Company’s direct and indirect interests in its subsidiaries for the purposes of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The following entity was incorporated by the Group during the three month period ended March 31, 2024.
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | % of equity interest held by Dlocal |
Entity name | | Country of incorporation | | Principal activities | | March 31, 2024 |
Dlocal Solutions Private Limited (India) | | India | | Collection entity | (¹) | 99.99% |
Dlocal Nicaragua S.A. | | Nicaragua | | Collection entity | (¹) | 100% |
Dlocal Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. | | Malaysia | | Collection entity | (¹) | 100% |
CRI Demerge Costa Rica SRL | | Costa Rica | | Collection entity | (¹) | 100% |
Demerge Singapore PTE Ltd | | Singapore | | Collection entity | (¹) | 100% |
(1) The Group has determined that the acquisition or incorporation of this subsidiary during 2024 does not constitute a business according to IFRS 3.
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”) who is the Group’s Executive Team represented by executive officers and directors holders of ordinary shares of the immediate parent of the Company. 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 assess 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 loss, 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.

All Trade and other receivables have been assigned in “normal” credit risk rating which applies to financial assets for which a significant increase in credit risk has not occurred since initial recognition.
Loss allowance and impairment losses
The following table presents the evolution of the loss allowance:
| | | | |
| | 2024 | | 2023 |
Opening book value as at January 1 | | (459) | | (280) |
Decrease in loss allowance for trade receivables | | 370 | | (318) |

Total as at March 31 | | (77) | | (459) |
(i) For the period ended March 31, 2024 our net impairment losses on financial assets was USD 177, compared to USD 51 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
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 (only 0-30 past due bucket as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 because there are no other material buckets of the outstanding receivables).
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 of the 0-30 past due bucket was determined at 0.1% for both periods three months ended March 31, 2024 and three months ended March 31, 2023.
17. Other Assets

(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.
