Fintech dLocal hikes 2025 guidance after growth beats expectations
(Reuters) -Uruguayan fintech dLocal on Wednesday raised its forecasts for 2025, predicting higher ranges for its revenue and profit growth, after earnings surged ahead of analyst forecasts helped by solid results in Brazil and Mexico. The payments provider, which operates across emerging markets, now predicts a total payment volume (TPV) up 40%-50% compared to the $25.6 billion it recorded last year, when this figure shot up some 45%. This also brought up the group's guidance for revenue, gross profit and adjusted earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), the latter which is also expected to rise 40%-50% from 2024, when it shrunk 7% to $189 million. Dlocal had previously guided for TPV up 35%-45% and adjusted EBITDA up 20%-30%. DLocal launched in 2016 and quickly became Uruguay's first unicorn, a private start-up valued at over $1 billion. Five years later, it listed in New York at a value of around $9 billion, though this has since dipped to around $3.1 billion. For the three months ended June, dLocal posted adjusted EBITDA up 64% at $70.1 million from revenues that climbed 50% to $256.5, both landing comfortably above the forecasts of analysts polled by LSEG. TPV, a key metric that shows how widely the service is used, grew 53%. While the firm said it was optimistic about its momentum, it highlighted risks such as increased trade barriers, shifting fiscal regimes in Brazil and currency risks in Argentina and Egypt.
