🎙 Management Tone Tracker Confident Specific → Stable 4 quarters analysed

Q2 2025

Confident Specific

Management repeatedly used phrases like 'solid growth and disciplined execution', 'record highs', 'strong momentum', and 'another testament' to describe the quarter. They emphasized five consecutive quarters of improvement in adjusted EBITDA/gross profit ratio and highlighted specific record numbers for TPV, revenue, gross profit, and free cash flow.

Q3 2025

Confident Specific

The CEO opened with 'another record quarter' and 'strong growth' citing specific milestones like TPV above $10 billion and gross profit above $100 million. Detailed explanations of both successes and headwinds (e.g., Argentina FX, Mexico tariffs) reinforce a confident but grounded tone.

Q4 2025

Confident Specific

The management used superlative language like 'exceptional execution' and 'strength of the business', and provided concrete metrics and forward guidance with specific percentage ranges, indicating strong conviction.

Q1 2026 latest

Confident Specific

Management consistently uses strong language like 'record', 'accelerating', 'broad-based', and provides specific growth figures (e.g., 73% TPV growth, $119M gross profit). They directly address the one-off tax adjustment and OpEx carryover with clear explanations.

Guidance Reliability Pending · <3Q data

Investor Lens

The investment thesis strengthened after this call. Top-line growth is accelerating (73% TPV YoY) and broad-based, indicating strong demand for local payments in emerging markets. The gross profit record shows monetization is holding up. The one-off tax adjustment is non-recurring and normalized profitability remains healthy. The main concern is near-term OpEx growth from prior investments, but management has a clear plan to moderate it in H2, which should restore operating leverage. Diversification into new verticals (travel, gaming) and geographies (Asia) adds long-term optionality. The upcoming card-present launch and stablecoin capability could open new revenue streams. Key watch items next quarter: OpEx growth rate, Brazil normalization after Q4 strength, and any sequential gross profit trends.

📊 MIXED DLocal Q1 TPV $14.1B (+73% YoY), gross profit record $119M, guidance unchanged.

Revenue & Profitability

TPV hit $14.1 billion in Q1 2026, up 73% year-over-year and 7% quarter-over-quarter. Gross profit was a record $119 million, up 40% YoY. Reported operating profit was $53 million; adjusted for a one-off prior-year tax adjustment, it was $57 million (48% of gross profit). Reported net income was $42 million; adjusted net income was $52 million, up about 11% YoY.

Outlook

Management sees strong secular tailwinds as merchants increasingly shift to local payment processing in emerging markets. Local payment methods are no longer alternative; they are primary ways consumers transact. The company's guidance remains unchanged, with top-line momentum accelerating and operating leverage expected to improve in the second half of 2026.

Growth Drivers

Growth is broad-based across countries, verticals, and merchants. Notable drivers: travel (+38% QoQ), on-demand delivery (+24% QoQ), and recovery in Argentina. Africa and Asia now represent 29% of gross profit, growing 16% QoQ. New markets added: Algeria, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman. Key vertical expansion includes ride hailing, remittances, travel, gaming, and buy now, pay later solutions.

Balance Sheet & CapEx

Not discussed in this earnings call.

Margins

Operating profit to gross profit ratio was 48% on an adjusted basis in Q1. Operating expenses (excluding a $4.4 million one-off) grew 58% YoY due to carryover from 2025 investments. Management expects OpEx growth to moderate through 2026 due to natural annualization, automation, corrective actions, and lower share-based payments. Operating leverage is expected to improve in the second half of the year.

Key Risks

A non-recurring prior-period tax adjustment of $9.7 million impacted reported operating profit and net income. Management flagged temporary working capital effects from tax credit netting and advances operations, expected to reverse over coming quarters. No other material risks were raised by management or analysts.
