Montevideo, Uruguay August 4, 2025 鈥� Mercado Libre (NASDAQ: MELI), Latin America鈥檚 leading e-commerce and fintech platform, today announced its second quarter 2025 financial results that delivered another quarter of double-digit growth with revenue of $6.8 billion, up 34% YoY. Both Commerce and Fintech聽 maintained strong momentum and growth rates.

Income from operations reached a quarterly record of $825 million, growing 14% YoY. This growth occurred alongside key strategic investments in our credit card offerings, to build principality among users, and the expansion of our free shipping offering in Brazil, to keep reducing friction in the transition to online commerce and boost purchase frequency on our platform. These initiatives were supported by disciplined cost management, resulting in $523 million net income for the quarter.

Mercado Libre鈥檚 commerce business continued to outperform the broader market as ongoing investments in free shipping, user experience and assortment drove outstanding growth in Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico. In Brazil, the lower free shipping threshold boosted items sold growth to 34% YoY in June, and drove a 29% YoY increase in Q2 GMV on an FX-neutral basis, with market share rising YoY. FX-neutral GMV growth in Brazil has now remained around 30% YoY for eight consecutive quarters 鈥� a testament to our strong momentum in the country. Argentina registered unique buyer growth above 30% YoY for the second consecutive quarter and items sold rose 46% YoY, supporting FX-neutral GMV growth of 75% YoY. This underscores the attractiveness of Mercado Libre's value proposition versus physical retail in Argentina as the economy stabilizes, confidence returns and consumption strengthens. Mexico also delivered an excellent performance with items sold growing 36% YoY - the fastest pace in nearly two years - accelerating FX-neutral GMV growth to 32% YoY. Growth was boosted by the acceleration of cross-border trade and increased fulfillment penetration.

Mercado Libre's fulfillment network handled 57% of shipments across the region this quarter, and more than 75% in Mexico. Its 30 fulfillment centers enable the company to operate the fastest shipping network in the region, resulting in record levels of same-day delivery in Argentina and a higher share of same- and next-day delivery in Mexico.

Mercado Ads鈥� integration with Google Ad Manager went live in April. This expands our reach beyond Mercado Libre's ecosystem and enables advertisers to seamlessly and simultaneously manage campaigns inside and outside our ecosystem. They can leverage our rich first-party data and we can provide attribution for branding campaigns, unique capabilities that are core to the company鈥檚 vision of becoming a major media player in Latin America. In Q2'25, advertising revenue grew 38% YoY in USD and 59% YoY on an FX-neutral basis with Display & Video products almost doubling YoY.

Mercado Pago, the company鈥檚 fintech arm, reached almost 68 million monthly active users (+30% YoY), with the average number of products per user rising across Brazil, Mexico and Argentina. Attractive yields on deposits fueled record growth in assets under management, which more than doubled YoY to $13.8 billion. The credit portfolio expanded 91% YoY to $9.3 billion, led by a 118% YoY increase in the credit card portfolio to $4.0 billion, with asset quality and profitability continuing to improve. Acquiring total payment volume grew to $44.4 billion, resulting in market share gains across key geographies.鈥�

"Mercado Libre delivered another strong quarter, with revenue up 34% year-over-year and a record $825 million in operating income. Our disciplined investments and consistent execution continue to strengthen our leadership in e-commerce, fintech, and digital advertising across Latin America. Highlights this quarter included the expansion of our free shipping program in Brazil, high-impact marketing campaigns for Mercado Pago, and the integration with Google Ad Manager to broaden our reach among advertisers." said Mercado Libre CFO, Martin de los Santos.

In July, S&P Global upgraded Mercado Libre to investment grade with a BBB- rating, which comes after last year's upgrade to investment grade at Fitch. These upgrades are testament to the company鈥檚 operational strength and prudent financial management. In May, the company announced that our Founder and CEO Marcos Galperin will assume the role of Executive Chairman and Ariel Szarfsztejn will become CEO, effective January 1st, 2026. This planned transition ensures continuity in leadership and reinforces our long-term strategic vision
