Uruguay's dLocal net income ticks up as payment volumes hit record high
New throughout, adds net income, revenue details
Aug 14 (Reuters) -Uruguayan digital payments company dLocal DLO.O reported on Wednesday that second-quarter net income rose 3% year-on-year to reach $46 million, beating expectations as total payments volume reached a new record.
In a statement, dLocal announced that its higher income figure, which exceeded LSEG analyst expectations of $30.5 million for the quarter, benefited from a rise in finance income earned from investments in Argentine bonds.
The Montevideo-based company added that its total payment volume reached a record $6 billion in the second quarter, a 38% jump from $4.4 billion in the same quarter last year.
"The evolution of this key metric demonstrates our continued ability to grow as we gain share of wallet from our global merchant base and add new merchants to the mix," Chief Executive Pedro Arnt was quoted in the statement.
The fintech's revenuesfor the April-to-June period rose 6% from a year earlier to about$171 million, shy of the LSEG forecast of $207 million.
Revenues in Latin America, which accounted for more than 80% of total revenue, were up 9% year-on-year, driven by commerce and streaming in Mexico, the company said.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) fell 18% to settle at about $43 million.
DLocal operates across most of Latin America as well as parts of Africa and Asia for clients such as Google GOOGL.O and Amazon AMZN.O.
