DLocal Limited (“dLocal”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) , a technology-first payments platform today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

“We 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. We continue to execute on our strategy to make the complex simple for our merchants. We continue to add new product capabilities on our platform that enhance our merchants’ ability to benefit from higher conversion. We continue to add new countries to our infrastructure network while continuing to add more payment methods and partners in markets in Latin America, Asia and Africa,” said Sebastian Kanovich.

The following table summarizes our key performance metrics:

Earnings per share:

We calculate basic earnings per share by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the nine-months and three-months periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Our diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of dLocal by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of common shares that would be issued on conversion of all dilutive potential common shares into common shares.

The next table presents the information used as base for such calculation
