“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

The following table summarizes our key performance metrics:
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.
The table below presents a reconciliation of dLocal’s Adjusted Free Cash Flow reconciliation:
