DLocal $DLO 3Q21 Earnings ๐Ÿš€

- TPV $1.8b +217% ๐Ÿš€
- TPV ratio/take-rate 3.8% -30bps QoQ โ†˜๏ธ
- Rev $69m +123% ๐Ÿš€
- Adj EBITDA $26m +110% ๐Ÿš€ margin 38% โญ๏ธ -211bps โ†˜๏ธ
- NG Net Income $20m +129% ๐Ÿš€ margin 29% โญ๏ธ +89bps โ†—๏ธ
- High Net Retention 185% โญ๏ธ
1 | Strong Q3

โ€œWe continue to see strong growth across multiple verticals as we see local economies continue to bounce back and global merchants prioritize their efforts in emerging markets.โ€
2 | $DLO solving the problem of EM payments complexity
3 | Dlocal โžก๏ธ many clients across increasing multiple countries and payment methods

- 2Q21: 7 countries, 69 pymt methods โ†—๏ธ
- 2Q21: 7 countries, 62 pymt methods โ†—๏ธ
- 1Q21: 6 countries, 53 pymt methods โ†—๏ธ
4 | Existing clients drive growth.

โ€œโ€ฆto solve their existing needs and cross-sell new payment methods, new countries, and new productive cases.

At any given timeโ€ฆhave
- >50 pricing proposals โœ…
- 40+ agreement โœ…
- 30+ in testing stage โœ…
- 20+ waiting to go live โœ…
5 | New clients feed the sales funnel.

At a given time, we have about:
- 175+ in the early stages โœ…
- 75+ plus waiting to go live โœ…

โžก๏ธ Once live, typically takes 3-6 quarters to ramp up volume with the merchant.

โžก๏ธ Onboarded 10 plus new merchants this quarter.โ€
6 | Together Existing and New Merchants currently drive high NRR of 185% and low to zero Churn.

โ€œโ€ฆour net revenue retention is driven by having minimal levels of churns of less than 1%โ€ฆโ€
7 | Net Retention - 150-160% (ST 12-18mths), 120-130% (LT)

โ€œโ€ฆwe still think that in the near term, which is 12 to 18 months, 150%-160% net retention rate is achievable and that's what we are planning for.

โ€ฆguidedโ€ฆlong term, it will probably come down to 120%-130%.โ€
8 | Countries - Adding Thailand & El Salvador
9 | Lower Take Rates

โ€ฆ3.8% versus 4.1%โ€ฆlarge merchants with a take rate lower than average have grown significantly.

โ€ฆgreat for our business as they bring incremental EBITDA.

โžก๏ธ Not optimizing for take-rate
โžก๏ธ Take rate will fluctuate
โžก๏ธ Optimise not margins but profits
10 | EBITDA Margins - Range 40%+/- not specific number

โ€œ..expect the margin to be in and around that levelโ€ฆnot tying ourselves to a specific number, it's a rangeโ€ฆ

โ€ฆdon't want to say is that it's definitely going to be a 40% number. It's going to be in that rangeโ€ฆโ€
11 | Declining Customer Concentration Risk to Top 10 โœ…

โ€œโ€ฆour revenues exposure to our top 10 merchants continuous decreasing from 62% in the 2Q21 to 57% in 3Q21.โ€
12 | Declining Cost of Services

โ€œ3Q20 was 2.4% of TPVโ€ฆ 3Q21 was 1.9%โ€ฆdecrease is the result of efficiencies & changes in biz mix.โ€

ย โ€ฆtransaction costs have continuously declinedโ€ฆmight see them going upโ€ฆ function of processing payments in countries or payment methodsโ€ฆโ€
12 | Focus is on Net Retention and Absolute Profits

So, we continue to optimize for NRR, making sure that we are bringing more additional dollars that come at a profit. And yes, definitely, we are constantly getting better rate from acquirers, from payment methods, from banks.
Final Takeaway on dLocal $DLO:

โžก๏ธ Strong results, thesis unchanged. Rare combination of rapid growth & very strong profitability at scale (API), high insider ownership (>40%), well-diversified, deep integration (sticky & high switching cost), solid up+cross-sell.

๐Ÿงต Sharing 43 of my favorite takeaways from the most @AcquiredFM Podcast of NVIDIA $NVDA: The Dawn of the AI Era with David Rosenthal @djrosent and Ben Gilbert @gilbert!

Thought it was a smashing podcast with a great balance of history, explanation, context, and well balanced bull / bear scenarios with good thoughts backed by sound logic.

Great job David and Ben! Go listen! Highly recommend!

Thanks @matter for the ability to highlight transcripts!
