2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”). Investments in entities where the Company holds joint control, but not control, over the investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars, except where otherwise indicated. Intercompany transactions and balances with subsidiaries have been eliminated for consolidation purposes.
Substantially all net revenues, cost of net revenues and operating expenses are generated in the Company’s foreign operations. Long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill and operating lease right-of-use assets located in the foreign jurisdictions totaled $2,045 million and $1,817 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income and equity for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments that Management believes are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, operating results and cash flows.
Because all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements are not included herein, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (the “Company’s 2022 10-K”). The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for the periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of results expected for any future period. For a more detailed discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the financial statements in the Company’s 2022 10-K. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, there were no material updates made to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Table of Contents
Use of estimates
The preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, accounting for allowance for doubtful accounts and chargeback provisions, inventories valuation reserves, recoverability of goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and deferred tax assets, impairment of short-term and long-term investments, impairment of long-lived assets, separation of lease and non lease components for aircraft leases, compensation costs relating to the Company’s long term retention program, fair value of convertible debt, fair value of investments, fair value of loans receivable, fair value of derivative instruments, income taxes and contingencies and determination of the incremental borrowing rate at commencement date of lease operating agreements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
Revenue recognition criteria for the services provided and goods sold by the Company are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2022 10-K.
The aggregate gain included in “Fintech services” revenues arising from financing transactions and sales of financial assets, net of the costs recognized on sale of credit card receivables, is $676 million and $340 million for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and $490 million and $263 million for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
Contract Balances
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Receivables represent amounts invoiced and revenue recognized prior to invoicing when the Company has satisfied the performance obligation and has the unconditional right to payment. Accounts receivable and credit cards receivable and other means of payments are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts and chargebacks of $34 million and $25 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts with respect to the Company’s loans receivable amounts to $1,136 million and $1,112 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which includes $13 million and $8 million, respectively, related to unused agreed loan commitment on credit cards portfolio presented in Other liabilities of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Deferred revenue consists of fees received related to unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the period in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606. Due to the generally short-term duration of contracts, the majority of the performance obligations are satisfied in the following months. Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2022 was $44 million, of which $24 million was recognized as revenue during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.
As of June 30, 2023, total deferred revenue was $56 million, mainly due to fees related to classifieds advertising services billed and loyalty programs that are expected to be recognized as revenue in the coming months.

Foreign currency translation
All of the Company’s foreign operations have determined the local currency to be their functional currency, except for Argentina, which has used the U.S. dollar as its functional currency since July 1, 2018. Accordingly, the foreign subsidiaries with local currency as functional currency translate assets and liabilities from their local currencies into U.S. dollars by using period-end exchange rates while income and expense accounts are translated at the average monthly rates in effect during the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the period, in which case the exchange rates at the date of the transaction are used. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Net foreign currency transaction results are included in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of income under the caption “Foreign currency losses, net”.
Argentine currency status
As of July 1, 2018, the Company transitioned its Argentine operations to highly inflationary status in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and changed the functional currency for Argentine subsidiaries from Argentine Pesos to U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency of their immediate parent company. Argentina’s inflation rate for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 50.7% and 36.2%, respectively.
The Company uses Argentina’s official exchange rate to account for transactions in the Argentine segment, which as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was 256.70 and 177.16 Argentine Pesos, respectively, against the U.S. dollar. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Argentina’s depreciation of its local currency against the U.S. dollar was 44.9% and 21.9%, respectively.
The following table sets forth the assets, liabilities and net assets of the Company’s Argentine subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs, before intercompany eliminations, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

| June 30, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022

Argentine Exchange regulations
Since the second half of 2019, the Argentine government instituted exchange controls restricting the ability of companies and individuals to exchange Argentine Pesos for foreign currencies and their ability to remit foreign currency out of Argentina. An entity’s authorization request to the Central Bank of Argentina (“CBA”) to access the official exchange market to make foreign currency payments may be denied depending on the circumstances. As a result of these exchange controls, markets in Argentina developed trading mechanisms, in which an entity or individual buys U.S. dollar denominated securities in Argentina (i.e. shares, sovereign debt) using Argentine pesos, and subsequently sells the securities for U.S. dollars, in Argentina, to access U.S. dollars locally, or outside Argentina, by transferring the securities abroad, prior to being sold (the latter commonly known as “Blue Chip Swap Rate”). The Blue Chip Swap Rate has diverged significantly from Argentina’s official exchange rate (commonly known as exchange spread). In recent years, the Blue Chip Swap Rate has been higher than Argentina’s official exchange rate. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the spread of the Blue Chip Swap was 93.1% and 94.2%, respectively (see Note 16 of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements).
As part of the exchange controls, since 2019, the Argentine government imposes a tax on the acquisition of foreign currency through the official exchange market in certain circumstances. On July 24, 2023, through the Executive Power Decree No. 377/2023, the Argentine government extended the application of this tax to the following cases: (i) certain services acquired from abroad or services rendered by foreign residents in Argentina (i.e. technical, legal, accounting, management, advertising, engineering, audiovisual services, among others), which will be subject to a 25% tax rate, (ii) freight and other transportation services for import and export of goods, which will be subject to a 7.5% tax rate; and (iii) imported goods, which will be subject to a 7.5% tax rate, with certain exemptions (such as fuels and products of the basic food basket).
Income taxes
Income taxes’ accounting policy is described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2022 10-K.
The Company’s consolidated estimated effective tax rate for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 increased as compared to the same periods in 2022. This was a result of (i) taxable foreign exchange gains accounted for local tax purposes, which are not recorded for accounting purposes since Argentina’s operations functional currency is the U.S. dollar due to the country’s highly inflationary status, (ii) a higher proportion of pre-tax results arising from entities under general income tax treatment regime over the Brazilian segment as compared to the same period in 2022, and (iii) higher non-deductible foreign exchange losses related to the acquisition of our own common stock in the Argentine market.
Based on Management’s assessment, the Company maintained a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of $415 million and $360 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. This valuation allowance includes $176 million and $156 million to fully reserve the outstanding U.S. foreign tax credits as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Company increased its valuation allowance mainly on U.S foreign tax credits by $20 million and in certain subsidiaries in its Mexican operations by $32 million.
Knowledge-based economy promotional regime in Argentina
In August 2021, the Under Secretariat of Knowledge Economy issued the Disposition 316/2021 approving MercadoLibre S.R.L.’s application for eligibility under the knowledge-based economy promotional regime, established by the Law No. 27,506 and complemented by Argentina’s Executive Power Decree No. 1034/2020, Argentina’s Ministry of Productive Development’s Resolution No. 4/2021 and the Under Secretariat of Knowledge Economy’s Disposition No. 11/2021.
As a result, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $21 million and $11 million, and $4 million and $3 million during the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The aggregate per share effect of the income tax benefit amounted to $0.42 and $0.23, and $0.08 and $0.06 for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Furthermore, the Company recorded a social security benefit of $33 million and $15 million, and $26 million and $11 million during the six and three-month peri ods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Fair value option applied to certain financial instruments
Under ASC 825, U.S. GAAP provides an option to elect fair value with impact on the statement of income as an alternative measurement for certain financial instruments and other items on the balance sheet.
The Company has elected to measure certain financial assets at fair value with impact on the statement of income for several reasons including to avoid the mismatch generated by the recognition of certain linked instruments / transactions, separately, in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of income and unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income and to better reflect the financial model applied for selected instruments. The Company’s election of the fair value option applies to the: i) Brazilian federal government bonds and ii) U.S. treasury notes.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
On October 28, 2021, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-08 “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” The amendments in this update improve comparability for the recognition and measurement of acquired revenue contracts with customers at the date of and after a business combination by specifying for all acquired revenue contracts regardless of their timing of payment (1) the circumstances in which the acquirer should recognize contract assets and contract liabilities that are acquired in a business combination and (2) how to measure those contract assets and contract liabilities. The amendments provide consistent recognition and measurement guidance for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination and revenue contracts with customers not acquired in a business combination. The Company adopted this standard effective as of January 1, 2023 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
On March 31, 2022, the FASB issued the ASU 2022-02 “Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) and Vintage Disclosures (Topic 326): Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” which eliminates the accounting guidance on TDRs, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the guidance requires disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases. The amendments should be applied prospectively, except for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, where an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company adopted this standard effective as of January 1, 2023 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
On September 29, 2022, the FASB issued the ASU 2022-04 “Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations.” The amendments in this update require entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose the key terms of the programs and information about their obligations outstanding at the end of the reporting period, including a rollforward of those obligations. The guidance does not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. The Company adopted this standard effective as of January 1, 2023, except for the rollforward requirement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance should be applied retrospectively to all periods in which a balance sheet is presented, except for the rollforward requirement, which should be applied prospectively. The Company and certain financial institutions participate in a supplier finance program (“SFP”) that enables certain of the Company’s suppliers, at their own election, to request the payment of their invoices to the financial institutions earlier than the terms stated in the Company’s payment policy. Suppliers’ voluntary inclusion of invoices in the SFP does not change the Company’s payment terms, the amounts paid or liquidity. The Company has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the SFP and has no financial impact in connection with the SFP. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the obligations outstanding that the Company has confirmed as valid to the financial institutions amounted to $273 million and $227 million, respectively, and are included in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets within accounts payable and accrued expenses line.

4. Net income per share
Basic earnings per share for the Company’s common stock is computed by dividing, net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
In August, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $880 million of 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (see Note 12 to these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and Note 17 to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, contained in the Company’s 2022 10-K). The conversion of these notes is included in the calculation for diluted earnings per share utilizing the “if converted” method. Accordingly, conversion of these Notes is not assumed for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share if the effect is antidilutive.
The denominator for diluted net income per share for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 does not include any effect from the capped call transactions entered into by the Company with certain financial institutions with respect to shares of the Company’s common stock (“2028 Notes Capped Call Transactions”) because it would be antidilutive. In the event of conversion of any or all of the 2028 Notes, the shares that would be delivered to the Company under the 2028 Notes Capped Call Transactions are designed to partially neutralize the dilutive effect of the shares that the Company would issue under the Notes. See Note 17 to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, contained in the Company’s 2022 10-K for more details.
For the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2022, the effect of the conversion of the Notes would have been antidilutive and, as a consequence, it was not factored into the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
Net income per share of common stock is as follows for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

6. Loans receivable, net
The Company classifies loans receivable as “On-line merchant”, “Consumer”, “In-store merchant” and “Credit Cards.” As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the components of Loans receivable, net were as follows:

| June 30, 2023
| Loans receivable |  | Allowance for doubtful accounts |  | Loans receivable, net
| (In millions)
On-line merchant | $ | 429 |  |  | $ | (130) |  |  | $ | 299 |
Consumer | 1,795 |  |  | (625) |  |  | 1,170 |
In-store merchant | 278 |  |  | (138) |  |  | 140 |
Credit Cards | 748 |  |  | (230) |  |  | 518 |
Total | $ | 3,250 |  |  | $ | (1,123) |  |  | $ | 2,127 |

| December 31, 2022
| Loans receivable |  | Allowance for doubtful accounts |  | Loans receivable, net
| (In millions)
On-line merchant | $ | 394 |  |  | $ | (120) |  |  | $ | 274 |
Consumer | 1,568 |  |  | (614) |  |  | 954 |
In-store merchant | 267 |  |  | (145) |  |  | 122 |
Credit Cards | 611 |  |  | (225) |  |  | 386 |
Total | $ | 2,840 |  |  | $ | (1,104) |  |  | $ | 1,736 |

The allowance for doubtful accounts with respect to the Company’s loans receivable amounts to $1,136 million and $1,112 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which includes $13 million and $8 million re lated to unused agreed loan commitment on credit cards portfolio presented in Other liabilities of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company is exposed to off-balance sheet unused agreed loan commitments on its credit cards portfolio, which exposes the Company to credit risks. For the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized in Provision for doubtful accounts $3 million and $(1) million as expected credit losses, respectively.
The Company closely monitors credit quality for all loans receivable on a recurring basis to assess and manage its exposure to credit risk. To assess merchants and consumers seeking a loan under the Mercado Credito solution, the Company uses, among other indicators, risk models internally developed, as a credit quality indicator to help predict the merchant’s and consumer’s ability to repay the principal balance and interest related to the credit. The risk model uses multiple variables as predictors of the merchant’s and consumer’s ability to repay the credit, including external and internal indicators. Internal indicators consider user behavior related to credit/payment history, and with lower weight in the risk models, the Company uses the number of transactions in the Company’s ecosystem and the merchant’s annual sales volume, among other indicators. In addition, the Company considers external bureau information to enhance the model and the decision making process.

(*) The Company writes off loans when customer balance becomes 360 days past due.
The increase in write-offs for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, is mainly generated by higher originations of loans receivable for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, generating a higher write-offs effect in the period ended June 30, 2023.

8. Segment reporting
Reporting segments are based upon the Company’s internal organizational structure, the manner in which the Company’s operations are managed and resources are assigned, the criteria used by Management to evaluate the Company’s performance, the availability of separate financial information and overall materiality considerations.
Segment reporting is based on geography as the main basis of segment breakdown in accordance with the criteria, as determined by Management, used to evaluate the Company’s performance. The Company’s segments include Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and other countries (which includes Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay).
Direct contribution consists of net revenues from external customers less direct costs, which include costs of net revenues, product and technology development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, provision for doubtful accounts and general and administrative expenses over which segment managers have direct discretionary control, such as advertising and marketing programs, customer support expenses, payroll and third-party fees. All corporate related costs have been excluded from the segment’s direct contribution.
Expenses over which segment managers do not currently have discretionary control, such as certain technology and general and administrative costs, are monitored by Management through shared cost centers and are not evaluated in the measurement of segment performance.
The following tables summarize the financial performance of the Company’s reporting segments:

Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were valued using i) Level 1 inputs: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 instrument valuations are obtained from observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets in active markets); ii) Level 2 inputs: obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments as well as instruments with inactive markets at the measurement date; and iii) Level 3 inputs: valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting Company’s assumptions. The unobservable inputs of the fair value of contingent considerations classified as Level 3 refer to the amounts to be paid according to the respective agreements of each acquisition, the likelihood of achievement of the performance targets arising from each one (expected to be 100%), and the Company’s historical experience with similar arrangements. Reasonable variation on those unobservable inputs would not significantly change the fair value of those instruments. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had not changed the methodology nor the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments.
There were no transfers to and from Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. There were no transfers to and from Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the year ended December 31, 2022, other than as detailed in the table below.
As of June 30, 2023, the contingent considerations measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs were settled. The following table summarizes the reconciliation of the financial liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs as of December 31, 2022:

The Company’s election of the fair value option applies to the: i) Brazilian federal government bonds and ii) U.S. treasury notes. The Company recognized fair value changes in interest income and other financial gains which includes the related interest income of those instruments. Such fair value changes and interest income amount to $121 million and $64 million, and $62 million and $39 million for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company held no financial assets classified as available for sale. However, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company purchased and sold all the corporate debt securities classified as available for sale, resulting in $156 million of proceeds from the sales and in gross realized gains less than $1 million. The cost of these securities was determined under a specific identification basis.
Financial assets and liabilities not measured and recorded at fair value
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Company’s financial assets (except for loans receivable and equity securities held at cost) and liabilities (except for loans payable and other financial liabilities) not measured at fair value approximated their fair value mainly because of their short-term maturity. These assets and liabilities included cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term investments (excluding money markets, U.S. and foreign government debt securities and equity securities held at cost), accounts receivable, credit card receivables and other means of payments, other assets (excluding derivative instruments and USD Coin - “USDC”), accounts payable and accrued expenses, funds payable to customers, amounts payable due to credit and debit card transactions, salaries and social security payable (excluding variable LTRP), and other liabilities (excluding variable LTRP, contingent considerations and derivative instruments). If these financial instruments were measured at fair value in the financial statements, cash and restricted cash would be classified as Level 1 (where cost and fair value are aligned) and the remaining financial assets and liabilities would be classified as Level 2.

Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the loans receivable, which is based on Level 3 inputs, is $2,176 million and $1,761 million, respectively, and was determined based on Company’s assumptions. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the 2026 and 2031 Notes, which is based on Level 2 inputs, is $365 million and $359 million, and $559 million and $541 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the 2028 Notes, which is based on Level 2 inputs, is $1,202 million and $884 million, respectively, and was determined based on the closing trading price per $100 principal amount of the 2028 Notes as of the last day of trading for the period (see Note 12 - Loans payable and other financial liabilities of these una udited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further details). The rest of the loans payable and other financial liabilities approximate their fair value because the effective interest rates are not materially different from market interest rates.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value level for the remaining financial assets and liabilities of the Company not measured at fair value as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Other Legal Matters
The Company is subject to certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. The Company accrues liabilities when it considers it probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Proceeding-related liabilities are based on developments to date and historical information related to actions filed against the Company. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had accounted for estimated liabilities involving proceeding-related contingencies and other estimated contingencies of $72 million t o cover legal actions against the Company in which Management has assessed the likelihood of a final adverse outcome as probable. Expected legal costs related to litigations are accrued when the legal service is actually provided.
In addition, as of June 30, 2023, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain legal actions considered by the Company’s Management and its legal counsels to be reasonably possible of resulting in a loss for an estimated aggregate amount up to $458 million. No lo ss amounts have been accrued for such reasonably possible legal actions.

Tax Claims
Interstate rate of ICMS-DIFAL on interstate sales
The tax claim related to the interstate rate of ICMS-DIFAL on interstate sales is described in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2022 10-K. In April 2023, and based on court authorization, the Company withdrew the deposits corresponding to the case related to the branch of Santa Catarina, which had become final and unappealable in September 2022 in favor of eBazar.com.br Ltda. The remaining cases, which were pending as of December 31, 2022, had no updates during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. The Company main tains a $5 million provision as of June 30, 2023 for the disputed amounts related to the 6 ongoing cases whose risk of losing is considered by Management to be probable, based on the opinion of external legal counsel.
Exclusion of ICMS tax benefits from PIS and COFINS tax base
The Company receives ICMS tax benefits from the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, granted through a special regime signed with the State by means of a term of agreement, which are aimed at implementing and expanding business in the State. The Company accounted for the tax benefit netting cost of net revenues for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, f or $28 million and $16 million, respectively, and for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2022, for $17 million and $8 million, respectively.
On April 25, 2023, the Company filed a writ of mandamus seeking an injunction and claiming the exclusion of the amounts relating to the ICMS tax benefits granted by the State of Minas Gerais in the tax base of the Social Contributions (PIS and COFINS).
On May 26, 2023, a decision was rendered granting the injunction requested. The Company is currently waiting for the final judicial decision. Management’s opinion, based on the opinion of external legal counsel, is that the risk of losing the case is reasonably possible but not probable based on the technical merits of the Company’s tax position. For that reason, the Company has not recorded any expense or liability for the disputed amounts. The Company accounted for $8 million for PIS and COFINS tax benefits arising from the ICMS tax incentives during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, considering the exchange rate as of June 30, 2023, of which $2 million corresponded to the period ended December 31, 2021, and $3 million corresponded to the period ended December 31, 2022.
Buyer protection program
The buyer protection program (“BPP”) is designed to protect buyers in the Marketplace from losses due primarily to fraud or counterparty non-performance. The Company’s BPP provides protection to consumers by reimbursing them for the total value of a purchased item and the value of any shipping service paid if it does not arrive, arrives incomplete or damaged, does not match the seller’s description or if the buyer regrets the purchase. The Company is entitled to recover from the third-party carrier companies performing the shipping service certain amounts paid under the BPP. Furthermore, in some specific circumstances, the Company enters into insurance contracts with third-party insurance companies in order to cover contingencies that may arise from the BPP.
The maximum potential exposure under this program is estimated to be the volume of payments on the Marketplace, for which claims may be made under the terms and conditions of the Company’s BPP. Based on historical losses to date, the Company does not believe that the maximum potential exposure is representative of the actual potential exposure. The Company records a liability with respect to losses under this program when they are probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Management’s estimate of the maximum potential exposure related to the Company’s buyer protection program is $4,533 million and $4,002 million, respectively, for which the Company recorded a provision of $7 million and $6 million, respectively.

On January 14, 2021, the Company closed a public offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 2.375% Sustainability Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Sustainability Notes”) and $700 million aggregate principal amount of 3.125% Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”, and together with the 2026 Sustainability Notes, the “Notes”).
In May 2023, the Company repurchased a $2 million and $44 million principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Sustainability Notes and 2031 Notes, respectively. The total amount paid amounted to $38 million, as a result, $398 million and $656 million of the principal amount of the 2026 Sustainability Notes and 2031 Notes remains outstanding as of June

For additional information regarding the 2026 Sustainability Notes and the 2031 Notes please refer to Note 17 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, contained in the Company’s 2022 10-K.
2.00% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2028 (“2028 Notes”)
As of June 30, 2023, the principal and issuance costs of the 2028 Notes amounted to $439 million and $3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the principal and issuance costs of the 2028 Notes amounted to $439 million and $3 million, respectively. For the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized interest expense, including the amortization of issuance costs of $5 million and $2 million, in both periods, respectively.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, a total principal amount of $10 thousand was requested for conversion. The determination of whether or not the Notes are convertible must be performed on a quarterly basis. The Company reconfirmed during the second quarter of 2023 that the conversion threshold was met and the Notes remain eligible for conversion. As of the date of issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company did not receive additional requests for conversion.
The Company has entered into capped call transactions with respect to shares of its common stock with certain financial institutions (the “2028 Notes Capped Call Transactions”). The 2028 Notes Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the 2028 Notes in the event that the market price of the Company’s common stock is greater than the strike price and lower than the cap price of the 2028 Notes Capped Call Transactions. The amounts the Company has paid, including transaction expenses, are as follows:

Capped call trading date |  | Amount
|  | (In millions)
June 2019 (*) |  | $ | 88 |
June 2020 (*) |  | 104 |
August 2020 |  | 83 |
November 2020 |  | 120 |
January 2021 |  | 101 |

(*) Partially unwound in 2021.
Based on the $1,184.60 closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 30, 2023, and if the stock price remains constant, the Company could obtain 256,442 shares of common stock on the 2028 Notes Capped Call Transactions settlement date. The settlement averaging period with respect to the 2028 Notes Capped Call Transactions began on June 28, 2023 and will end on August 30, 2023, and the 2028 Notes Capped Call Transactions settlement date will be September 1, 2023.
The total estimated fair value of the 2028 Notes was $1,202 million and $884 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value was determined based on the closing trading price per $100 principal amount of the 2028 Notes as of the last day of trading for the period. The fair value of the 2028 Notes is primarily affected by the trading price of the Company’s common stock and market interest rates. Based on the $1,184.60 closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 30, 2023, the if-converted value of the 2028 Notes exceeded their principal amount by $734 million.
For additional information regarding the 2028 Notes and the 2028 Notes Capped Call Transactions please refer to Note 17 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, contained in the Company’s 2022 10-K.
Revolving Credit Agreement

For additional information regarding the Credit Agreement please refer to Note 17 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, contained in the Company’s 2022 10-K.

13. Securitization Transactions
The process of securitization consists of the issuance of securities collateralized by a pool of assets through a special purpose entity (“SPEs”), often under a VIE.
The Company securitizes financial assets associated with its credit cards and loans receivable portfolio. The Company’s securitization transactions typically involve the legal transfer of financial assets to bankruptcy remote SPEs. The Company generally retains economic interests in the collateralized securitization transactions, which are retained in the form of subordinated interests. For accounting purposes, the Company is generally precluded from recording the transfers of assets in securitization transactions as sales or is required to consolidate the SPE.
The Company securitizes certain credit card receivables related to users’ purchases through Chilean SPEs. Under the SPE contracts, the Company has determined that it has no obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the SPEs that could be significant because it does not retain any equity certificate of participation or subordinated interest in the SPEs. As the Company does not control the vehicles, its assets, liabilities and related results are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.
Additionally, the Company securitizes certain credit card receivables related to users’ purchases through Brazilian SPEs. Under the SPE contracts, the Company has determined that it has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the SPEs that could be significant because it retains subordinated interest in the SPEs. As the Company controls the vehicles, the assets, liabilities and related results are consolidated in its financial statements.
The Company securitizes certain loans receivable through Brazilian, Argentine and Mexican SPEs, formed to securitize loans receivable provided by the Company to its users or purchased from financial institutions that grant loans to the Company’s users through Mercado Pago. According to the SPE contracts, the Company has determined that it has both the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could be significant because it retains the equity certificates of participation and would therefore also be consolidated. When the Company controls the vehicle, it accounts for the securitization transactions as if they were secured financing and therefore the assets, liabilities and related results are consolidated in its financial statements.

This secured debt is issued by the SPEs and includes collateralized securities used to fund the Company’s Fintech business. The third-party investors in the securitization transactions have legal recourse only to the assets securing the debt and do not have recourse to the Company. Additionally, the cash flows generated by the SPEs are restricted to the payment of amounts due to third-party investors, but the Company retains the right to residual cash flows.
The assets and liabilities of the SPEs are included in the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 as follows:

15. Derivative instruments
Cash Flow Hedges
As of June 30, 2023, the Company used foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the foreign currency effects related to the forecasted purchase of MPOS devices in U.S. dollars owed by a Brazilian subsidiary whose functional currency is the Brazilian Real. The Company designated the foreign currency exchange contracts as cash flow hedges, the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period the forecasted transaction affects earnings. As of June 30, 2023, the Company estimated that the whole amount of net derivative gains or losses related to its cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.
In addition, the Company has entered into swap contracts to hedge the interest rate fluctuation of its variable financial debt issued by one of its Brazilian subsidiaries. The Company designated the swap contracts as cash flow hedges. The derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.
Fair Value Hedges
The Company has entered into cross currency swap contracts to hedge the interest rate and the foreign currency exposure of its fixed-rate, foreign currency financial debt issued by one of its Brazilian subsidiaries. The Company designated the swap contracts as fair value hedges. The derivative’s gain or loss is reported in earnings in the same line items as the change in the value of the financial debt due to the hedged risks. Since the terms of the interest rate swaps match the terms of the hedged debts, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are offset by changes in the fair value of the hedged debts attributable to changes in interest rates. Accordingly, the net impact in current earnings is that the interest expense associated with the hedged debts is recorded at the floating rates.

Net Investment Hedge
The Company used cross currency swap contracts, to reduce the foreign currency exchange risk related to its investment in its Brazilian foreign subsidiaries and the interest rate risk. This derivative was designated as a net investment hedge and, accordingly, gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and is expected to be reclassified into earnings in the same period that the interest expense affects earnings.
Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments
As of June 30, 2023, the Company entered into certain foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the foreign currency fluctuations related to certain transactions denominated in U.S. dollars of certain of its Brazilian subsidiaries, whose functional currencies are the Brazilian Real. These transactions were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.
Finally, as of June 30, 2023, the Company entered into swap contracts to hedge the interest rate fluctuation of a certain portion of its financial debt in its Brazilian subsidiaries and VIEs. These transactions were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

16. Share repurchase program
On August 4, 2021, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock, for aggregate consideration of up to $150 million. This authorization was scheduled to expire on August 31, 2022. On March 1, 2022, the Board authorized an increase in that authorization of $300 million, from an aggregate consideration of up to $150 million to an aggregate consideration of up to $450 million (the “Prior Program”). On March 1, 2022, the Board also authorized a new extension of the term of the Prior Program, from August 31, 2022 to August 31, 2023. On February 21, 2023, the Board terminated the Prior Program and authorized a new program to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock, for an aggregate consideration of up to $900 million to expire on March 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2023, the estimated remaining balance available for share repurchases under this Program was $479 million.
The Company expects to purchase shares at any time and from time to time, in compliance with applicable federal securities laws, through open-market purchases, block trades, derivatives, trading plans established in accordance with SEC rules, or privately negotiated transactions. The timing of repurchases will depend on factors including market conditions and prices, the Company’s liquidity requirements and alternative uses of capital. The share repurchase program may be suspended from time to time or discontinued, and there is no assurance as to the number of shares that will be repurchased under the program or that there will be any additional repurchases.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had acquired 456,900 shares under the aforementioned share repurchase programs.
From time to time, the Company acquires shares of its own common stock in the Argentine market and pays for them in Argentine pesos at a price that reflects the additional cost of accessing U.S. dollars through securities denominated in U.S. dollars, because of restrictions imposed by the Argentine government for buying U.S. dollars at the official exchange rate in Argentina (See Note 2 - “Summary of significant accounting policies - Argentine currency status” of these una udited interim condensed consolidated financial statements). As a result, the Company recognized foreign currency losses of $213 million and $63 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 respectively, while foreign currency losses for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $157 million and $28 million, respectively.

Business Overview
We are the largest online commerce ecosystem in Latin America based on unique visitors and orders processed, and we are present in 18 countries: Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay and El Salvador. Our platform is designed to provide users with a complete portfolio of services to facilitate commercial transactions both digitally and offline.
Through our e-commerce platform, we provide buyers and sellers with a robust and safe environment that fosters the development of a large e-commerce community in Latin America, a region with a population of over 650 million people and with one of the fastest-growing Internet penetration and e-commerce growth rates in the world. We believe that we offer world-class technological and commercial solutions that address the distinctive cultural and geographic challenges of operating a digital commerce platform in Latin America.
We offer our users an ecosystem of six integrated e-commerce services and digital financial services: the Mercado Libre Marketplace, the Mercado Pago Fintech platform, the Mercado Envios logistics service, the Mercado Ads solution, the Mercado Libre Classifieds service and the Mercado Shops online storefronts solution.
40

Table of Contents
The Mercado Libre Marketplace, is a fully-automated, topically-arranged and user-friendly online commerce platform, which can be accessed through our website and mobile app. This platform enables us (when we act as sellers in our first party sales), merchants and individuals to list merchandise and conduct sales and purchases digitally. The Marketplace has an ample assortment of products, with a wide range of categories such as consumer electronics, apparel and beauty, home goods, automotive accessories, toys, books and entertainment and consumer packaged goods.
To complement the Mercado Libre Marketplace and enhance the user experience for our buyers and sellers, we developed Mercado Pago, an integrated digital payments solution. Mercado Pago was initially designed to facilitate transactions on Mercado Libre’s Marketplaces by providing a mechanism that allowed our users to securely, easily and promptly send and receive payments. Now Mercado Pago is a full ecosystem of financial technology solutions both in the digital and physical world. Our digital payments solution enables any MercadoLibre registered user to securely and easily send and receive digital payments and to pay for purchases made on any of Mercado Libre Marketplaces. Currently, Mercado Pago processes and settles all transactions on our Marketplaces in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Uruguay and Peru and is available to process and settle certain transactions on our Marketplace in Ecuador.
Beyond facilitating Marketplace transactions, over the years we have expanded our array of Mercado Pago services to third parties outside Mercado Libre’s Marketplace. We began first by satisfying the growing demand for online-based payment solutions by providing merchants the necessary digital payment infrastructure for e-commerce to flourish in Latin America. Today, Mercado Pago’s digital payments business not only allows merchants to facilitate checkout and payment processes on their websites through a branded or white label solution or software development kits, but it also enables users to transfer money in a simple manner to each other through the Mercado Pago website or on Mercado Pago app. Through Mercado Pago, we brought trust to the merchant customer relationship, allowing online consumers to shop easily and safely, while giving them the confidence to share sensitive personal and financial data with us. Finally, we have also deepened our fintech offerings by growing our online-to-offline (“O2O”) products and services.
The Mercado Envios logistics solution enables sellers on our platform to utilize third-party carriers and other logistics service providers, while also providing them with fulfillment and warehousing services. The logistics services we offer are an integral part of our value proposition, as they reduce friction between buyers and sellers, and allow us to have greater control over the full experience. Sellers that opt into our logistics solutions are not only able to offer a uniform and seamlessly integrated shipping experience to their buyers at competitive prices, but are also eligible to access shipping subsidies to offer free or discounted shipping for many of their sales on our Marketplaces. In 2020, we launched Meli Air with a fleet of dedicated aircraft covering routes across Brazil and Mexico, with the aim of improving our delivery times. We have also developed a network of independent neighborhood stores and commercial points (known as “Meli Places”) to receive and store packages that are in transit using our integrated technology. Meli Places network allows buyers and sellers to pick-up, drop-off, or return packages with a better experience, reducing the travel distance for all parties. As of June 30, 2023, we offer our shipping solution directed towards deliveries in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Uruguay, Peru and Ecuador and we also offer free shipping to buyers in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Uruguay and Peru.
Mercado Credito, our credit solution available in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Chile, leverages our user base, which is loyal and engaged, and in part has also been historically underserved or overlooked by financial institutions and suffers from a lack of access to needed credit. Facilitating credit is a key service overlay that enables us to further strengthen the engagement and lock-in rate of our users, while also generating additional touchpoints and incentives to use Mercado Pago as an end-to-end financial solution.
Our asset management product, which is available in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, is a critical pillar to build our alternative two-sided network vision. It incentivizes our users to begin to fund their digital wallets with cash as opposed to credit or debit cards given that the return our product offers is greater than traditional checking accounts.
As an extension of our asset management and savings solutions for users, we launched a digital assets feature as part of the Mercado Pago wallet in Brazil in 2021, in Mexico in 2022 and in Chile in 2023. This service allows our millions of users to purchase, hold and sell selected digital assets through our interface without leaving the Mercado Pago application, while a partner acts as the custodian and offers the blockchain infrastructure platform. This feature is available for all users through their Mercado Pago wallet.
Our advertising platform, Mercado Ads, enables businesses to promote their products and services on the Internet. Through our advertising platform, MercadoLibre’s brands and sellers are able to display ads on our webpages through product searches, banner ads, or suggested products. Our advertising platform enables merchants and brands to access the millions of consumers that are on our Marketplaces at any given time with the intent to purchase, which increases the likelihood of conversion.
41

Table of Contents
Through Mercado Libre Classifieds, our online classified listing service, our users can also list and purchase motor vehicles, real estate and services in the countries where we operate. Classifieds listings differ from Marketplace listings as they only charge optional placement fees and not final value fees. Our classifieds pages are also a major source of traffic to our platform, benefiting both the commerce and fintech businesses.
Complementing the services that we offer, our digital storefront solution, Mercado Shops, allows users to set-up, manage and promote their own digital stores. These stores are hosted by Mercado Libre and offer integration with the rest of our ecosystem, namely our Marketplaces, payment services and logistics services. Users can create a store at no cost, and can access additional functionalities and value added services on commission.
Reporting Segments and Geographic Information
Our segment reporting is based on geography, which is the criterion our Management currently uses to evaluate our segment performance. Our geographic segments are Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and Other Countries (including Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay). Although we discuss long-term trends in our business, it is our policy not to provide earnings guidance in the traditional sense. We believe that uncertain conditions make the forecasting of near-term results difficult. Further, we seek to make decisions focused primarily on the long-term welfare of our Company and believe focusing on short-term earnings does not best serve the interests of our stockholders. We believe that execution of key strategic initiatives as well as our expectations for long-term growth in our markets will best create stockholder value. A long-term focus may make it more difficult for industry analysts and the market to evaluate the value of our Company, which could reduce the value of our common stock or permit competitors with short-term tactics to grow more rapidly than us. We, therefore, encourage potential investors to consider this strategy before making an investment in our common stock.
The following table sets forth the percentage of our consolidated net revenues by segment for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Description of Line Items
Net revenues
We disaggregate revenues into four geographical reporting segments. Within each of our segments, the services we provide and the products we sell generally fall into two distinct revenue streams: “Commerce” and “Fintech”.

Table of Contents
The following table summarizes our consolidated net revenues by revenue stream for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

| Six Months Ended June 30, |  | Three Months Ended June 30,

Total | $ | 6,452 |  |  | $ | 4,845 |  |  | $ | 3,415 |  |  | $ | 2,597 |

Revenues from commerce transactions are mainly generated from:
•marketplace fees that include final value fees and flat fees for transactions below a certain merchandise value;
•first party sales;
•shipping fees, net of the third-party carrier costs (when we act as an agent);
•ad sales fees;
•classifieds fees; and
•fees from other ancillary businesses.
Final value fees represent a percentage of the sale value that is charged to the seller once an item is successfully sold and flat fees represent a fixed charge for transactions below a certain merchandise value.
Revenues from first party sales are generated when control of the good is transferred, upon delivery to our customers.
Shipping revenues are generated when a buyer elects to receive an item through our shipping service, net of the third-party carrier costs (when we act as an agent).
Through our classifieds offerings in vehicles, real estate and services, we generate revenues from up-front fees. These fees are charged to sellers who opt to give their listings greater exposure throughout our websites.
Revenues from advertising services provided to sellers, vendors, brands and others, through performance product ads and display advertising, are recognized based on the number of clicks or impressions.
Fintech revenues correspond to our Mercado Pago service, which are attributable to:
•commissions representing a percentage of the payment volume processed that are charged to sellers in connection with off Marketplace-platform transactions;
•commissions from additional fees we charge when a buyer elects to pay in installments through our Mercado Pago platform, for transactions that occur either on or off our Marketplace platform;
•commissions from additional fees we charge when our sellers elect to withdraw cash;
•interest, cash advances and fees from merchant and consumer loans granted under our Mercado Credito solution;
•commissions that we charge from transactions carried out with Mercado Pago credit and debit cards; and
•revenues from the sale of mobile points of sale products and insurtech fees.
Although we also process payments on the Marketplace, we do not charge sellers an added commission for this service, as it is already included in the Marketplace final value fee that we charge.
We have a highly fragmented customer revenue base given the large numbers of sellers and buyers who use our platforms. For the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, no single customer accounted for more than 5.0% of our net revenues.

We are subject to federal and state income tax in the United States, as well as foreign taxes in the multiple jurisdictions where we operate. Our tax obligations consist of current and deferred income taxes incurred in these jurisdictions. We account for income taxes following the liability method of accounting. A valuation allowance is recorded when, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. Therefore, our income tax expense consists of taxes currently payable, if any (given that in certain jurisdictions we still have net operating loss carry-forwards), plus the change in our deferred tax assets and liabilities during each period.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entity
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entity consists primarily of earnings and losses related to our share in our equity investment.

Principal trends in results of operations
Net revenues
Our net revenues maintained consistent growth during the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same periods in 2022, specifically related to the growth of our total payment volume and the gross merchandise volume. The quarter’s financial results reflect our ongoing commitment to deliver sustainable and profitable growth. In this sense, we maintained a cautious posture regarding originations of loans receivables and, as a consequence, our credit business portfolio’s size was similar to the prior quarter and focused on lower risk customers. Please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Principal trends in results of operations— Net revenues” section below for further detail on net revenues trends for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
The continued execution of our long-term strategies in Commerce and Fintech businesses has enabled us to deliver growth in gross merchandise volume, total payment volume and net revenues, alongside record quarterly operating results and strong cash generation.

Gross profit margins
Our gross profit margin is defined as total net revenues minus total cost of net revenues, as a percentage of net revenues.
Our main cost of net revenues is composed of shipping operation costs (including warehousing costs), carrier and other operating costs, collection fees, sales taxes, funding costs related to our credits business, cost of goods sold, fraud prevention fees, certain taxes on bank transactions, hosting and site operation fees, compensation for customer support personnel and depreciation and amortization. This cost structure is directly affected by the level of operations of our services, and our strategic plan on gross profit is built on factors such as an ample liquidity to fund expenses and investments and a cost-effective capital structure.
In the future, our gross profit margin could decline if we continue growing our sales of goods business, which has a lower pure product margin, building up our logistics network and if we fail to maintain an appropriate relationship between our cost of revenue structure and our net revenues trend.
For the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, our gross profit margins were 50.5% and 50.4%, and 48.6% and 49.4%, respectively. The increase in our gross profit marg ins resulted primarily from the decrease in our cost of goods sold, collection fees and customer support expenses, as a percentage of net revenues, partially offset by an increase of our funding costs related to our credits business, as a percentage of net revenues.
Operating income margins
Our operating income margin is defined as income from operations as a percentage of net revenues.
Our operating income margin is affected by our operating expenses structure, which mainly consists of our employees’ salaries, our sales and marketing expenses related to those activities we incurred to promote our services, provision for doubtful accounts mainly related to our loans receivable portfolio and product and technology development expenses, among other operating expenses. As we continue to grow and focus on expanding our leadership in the region, we will continue to invest in product and technology development, sales and marketing and human resources in order to promote our services and capture long-term business opportunities. As a result, we may experience decreases in our operating income margins.
For the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same periods in 2022, our operating income margins increased from 8.0% and 9.6% to 13.9% and 16.3%, respectively. This increase was mainly explained by our improvement in cost of net revenues margins and a decrease in provision for doubtful accounts, as a percentage of net revenues. This increase was partially offset by an increase in our product and technology development expenses, as a percentage of net revenues, mainly as a consequence of higher salaries and wages due to headcount increases and increases in amounts accrued under the LTRPs as result of the increase in our common stock price.

(1)New or existing user who performed at least one of the following actions during the reported period: (1) made one purchase, or reservation, or asked one question on Mercado Libre Marketplace or Classified Marketplace (2) maintained an active listing on Mercado Libre Marketplace or Classified Marketplace (3) maintained an active account in Mercado Shops (4) made a payment, money transfer, collection and/or advance using Mercado Pago (5) maintained an outstanding credit line through Mercado Credito or (6) maintained a balance of more than $5 invested in a Mercado Fondo asset management account. Management uses this metric to evaluate the size of our community of users who interact with the ecosystem and of which we have the opportunity to generate further engagement. With the changes in our businesses we believe it provides a better indication of our active user base rather than our discontinued registration metric that did not reflect any sort of interaction.
(2)Total U.S. dollar sum of all transactions completed through the Mercado Libre Marketplace, excluding Classifieds transactions.
(3)Number of items that were sold/purchased through the Mercado Libre Marketplace, excluding Classifieds items.
(4)Number of items that were shipped through our shipping service.
(5)Total U.S. dollar sum of all transactions paid for using Mercado Pago, including marketplace and non-marketplace transactions.
(6)Total U.S. dollar sum of all marketplace transactions paid for using Mercado Pago. Management uses this metric to evaluate the performance of our payments services and development of our integrated ecosystem. As from January 1, 2022, we no longer disclose our total volume of payments on marketplace net of shipping and financing fees. Given the growth of our shipping and fintech businesses, management believes that including shipping and financing fees in the calculation of total volume of payments on marketplace results in a more accurate indicator of that performance on a go-forward basis. Consequently, total volume of payment on marketplace for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 has been recast to include shipping and financing fees.
(7)Number of all transactions paid for using Mercado Pago.
(8)Net interest margins after losses (“NIMAL”) represents the annualized ratio between the total credits revenues less funding costs and provision for doubtful accounts for the period and total average gross loans receivable for the period. Management uses NIMAL to monitor how effectively the Company is pricing and managing the credit products relative to their risk and setting targets. Accordingly, management is of the opinion that NIMAL provides useful information to investors and others related to the Company’s risk appetite through the different periods and shows how the Company effectively prices risk.

The following table sets forth the growth in net revenues in local currencies, for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022:

| Change from 2022 to 2023
(% of revenue growth in Local Currency) (*) | Six-month period |  | Three-month period
Brazil | 24.5 | % |  | 23.3 | %
Argentina (**) | 153.5 | % |  | 155.7 | %
Mexico | 46.1 | % |  | 44.8 | %
Other Countries | 28.1 | % |  | 26.5 | %
Total Consolidated | 57.8 | % |  | 57.2 | %

(*)The local currency revenue growth was calculated by using the average monthly exchange rates for each month during 2022 and applying them to the corresponding months in 2023, so as to calculate what our financial results would have been if exchange rates had remained stable from one year to the next. See also “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for details on FX neutral measures.
(**)Average inter-annual inflation rate in our Argentine segment for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 was 107.4% and 112.9%, respectively. This effect was partially offset by an average inter-annual depreciation of the Argentine peso of 91.2% and 99.1% for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, the decrease in other expense, net as compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily attributable to (i) the $272 million increase in interest income and other financial gains from our financial investments as a result of an increase in interest income from our Argentine segment related to the resolution issued by the CBA, which, starting in September 2022, allowed for a percentage of the customer funds deposited in financial institutions by payment service providers to be invested in Argentine treasury bonds, and (ii) higher interest income due to higher float and rates in Brazil and higher rates in the U.S. This decrease was partially offset by: i) foreign exchange losses that were $206 million higher than foreign exchange losses for the same period in 2022, mainly due to higher acquisition of our own common stock in the Argentine market at a price that reflects the additional cost of accessing U.S. dollars through an indirect mechanism due to restrictions imposed by the Argentine government for buying U.S. dollars at the official exchange rate (refer to Note 16 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further detail) and higher foreign exchange losses from our Argentine subsidiaries, partially offset by foreign exchange gains from our Brazilian and Mexican subsidiaries; and ii) a $57 million increase in interest expense and other financial losses mainly attributable to higher levels of indebtedness in 2023 and higher rates (mainly in Brazil, Mexico and Chile).
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, the decrease in other expense, net as compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily attributable to (i) the $142 million increase in interest income and other financial gains from our financial investments as a result of an increase in interest income from our Argentine segment related to the resolution issued by the CBA, which, starting in September 2022, allowed for a percentage of the customer funds deposited in financial institutions by payment service providers to be invested in Argentine treasury bonds, and (ii) higher interest income due to higher float and rates in Brazil and higher rates in the U.S. This decrease was partially offset by: i) foreign exchange losses that were $122 million higher than foreign exchange losses for the same period in 2022, mainly due to higher acquisition of our own common stock in

As a percentage of net revenues | 5.1 | % |  | 1.8 | % |  |  |  |  |  | 6.1 | % |  | 1.5 | % |  |  |  |

During the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same periods in 2022, income tax expense increased mainly as a result of higher income tax expense in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico as a consequence of higher pre-tax gains in those segments in 2023.
The following table summarizes our estimated effective tax rates for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

| Six Months Ended June 30, |  | Three Months Ended June 30,
| 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Effective tax rate (*) | 41.9% |  | 31.0% |  | 44.4% |  | 24.5%

(*)Percentages have been calculated using whole-dollar amounts rather than the rounded amounts that appear in the table.
Our estimated effective tax rate for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 increased as compared to the same periods in 2022, as a result of (i) taxable foreign exchange gains accounted for local tax purposes that are not recorded for accounting purposes since, under U.S. GAAP, Argentine operations’ functional currency is the U.S. dollar due to the highly inflationary status of the country, (ii) a higher proportion of pre-tax results arising from entities under general income tax treatment regime over the Brazilian segment as compared to the same period in 2022 and (iii) higher non-deductible foreign exchange losses related to the acquisition of our own common stock in the Argentine market.
The following table summarizes our estimated effective tax rates for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

| Six Months Ended June 30, |  | Three Months Ended June 30,
| 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | 2022

Argentina | 34.3% |  | 25.4% |  | 37.0% |  | 24.5%
Brazil | 15.6% |  | (7.5)% |  | 18.3% |  | (12.0)%
Mexico | 36.2% |  | 153.7% |  | 33.8% |  | 32.1%

The increase in our Argentine estimated effective income tax rate during the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same periods in 2022, was mainly related to higher taxable foreign exchange gains accounted for local tax purposes which are not recorded for accounting purposes since, under U.S. GAAP, Argentine operations’ functional currency is the U.S. dollar due to the highly inflationary status of the country.

The increase in our Brazilian estimated effective income tax rate for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, was mainly related to a higher proportion of pre-tax results arising from entities under general income tax treatment regime over the Brazilian segment as compared to the same periods in 2022.
The decrease in our Mexican estimated effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, was mainly driven by the decrease in pre-tax losses over the segment results that are included in the valuation allowance during 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.
Our Mexican estimated effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, remains stable compared to the same period in 2022.

Direct costs
Brazil
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, direct costs increased mainly driven by: i) a $382 million increase in cost of net revenues, mainly attributable to an increase in shipping operating and carrier costs, sales taxes, cost of goods sold, collection fees as a consequence of the higher transactions volume of our Mercado Pago business, hosting expenses and other payments costs mainly consisting of higher funding cost related to our credits business; and ii) a $76 million increase in sales and marketing expenses, mainly due to an increase in online and offline marketing expenses, buyer protection program expenses, salaries and wages (related to headcount increase and increases in amounts accrued under the LTRPs as a consequence of the increase in our common stock price), chargebacks and sales expenses. This was partially offset by a decrease of $135 million in provision for doubtful accounts mainly related to our initiatives to rebalance portfolio exposure towards lower risk customers, which allowed us to improve our 1-180 days non-performing loans ratio.
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, direct costs increased mainly driven by: i) a $201 million increase in cost of net revenues, mainly attributable to an increase in shipping operating and carrier costs, cost of goods sold, sales taxes, collection fees as a consequence of the higher transactions volume of our Mercado Pago business and hosting expenses; and ii) a $34 million increase in sales and marketing expenses, mainly due to an increase in online and offline marketing expenses, buyer protection program expenses, chargebacks and salaries and wages (related to headcount increase and increases in amounts accrued under the LTRPs as a consequence of the increase in our common stock price). This was partially offset by a decrease of $100 million in provision for doubtful accounts mainly related to our initiatives to rebalance portfolio exposure towards lower risk customers, which allowed us to improve our 1-180 days non-performing loans ratio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our main cash requirement has been working capital to fund Mercado Pago financing operations. We also require cash to fund our credits business, for capital expenditures relating to technology infrastructure, software applications, office space, business acquisitions, to build out our logistics capacity and to make interest payments on our loans payable and other financial liabilities.
We have funded Mercado Pago mainly by selling credit card receivables and through credit lines. Additionally, we have financed our Mercado Pago and Mercado Credito businesses through the securitization of credit card receivables and certain loans through SPEs created in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina. Finally, we obtained funding through our financial institution in Brazil through deposit certificates and financial bills. Refer to Notes 12 and 13 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further detail.
We committed to purchase cloud services for: i) a total amount of $824 million to be paid within a 5-year period starting on October 1, 2021 and ii) a total amount of $200 million to be paid within a 3-year period starting on September 23, 2022. Please refer to Note 10 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further detail on purchase commitments.
Further, in connection with the closing of MELI Kaszek Pioneer Corp (“MEKA”)’s initial public offering on October 1, 2021, MEKA (a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by MELI Kaszek Pioneer Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), which is a joint venture between our subsidiary, MELI Capital Ventures LLC, and Kaszek Ventures Opportunity II, L.P.) entered into a forward purchase agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor committed to purchase from MEKA 5 million Class A ordinary shares at a price of $10 per share in a private placement to close substantially concurrently with the consummation of MEKA’s initial business combination.

On April 8, 2022, we signed a 10-year agreement with Gol Linhas Aereas S.A. under which we committed to contract a minimum amount of air logistics services for a total annual cost of $43 million (total amount once all the dedicated aircraft are in operation). Pursuant to the agreement, Gol Linhas Aereas S.A. will provide logistics services in Brazil to Mercado Envios through six dedicated aircraft, four of which have already started operations as of June 30, 2023.
Additionally, we have several committed leases, mainly related to our fulfillment and service centers, which are one of the most important investments for our Mercado Envios business. As of June 30, 2023, we have committed rental expenditures with our lessors for $1,074 million and $78 million for operating leases and finance leases, respectively. See Note 14 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further detail on leases.
We and certain financial institutions participate in a supplier finance program (“SFP”) that enables certain of our suppliers, at their own election, to request the payment of their invoices to the financial institutions earlier than the terms stated in our payment policy. Suppliers’ voluntary inclusion of invoices in the SFP does not change our payment terms, the amounts paid or liquidity. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the SFP and have no financial impact in connection with the SFP. As of June 30, 2023, the obligations outstanding that the Company has confirmed as valid to the financial institutions amounted to $273 million, and are included in the balance sheet within accounts payable and accrued expenses line.
During August 2022, we issued commercial notes in Brazil (denominated in Brazilian Real) for $198 million (considering the exchange rate as of the date of issuance), the main purpose of which is to continue investing in capital expenditures for our shipping business, in order to continue developing our shipping strategy. See Note 12 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further detail.
Finally, on March 31, 2022, we entered into a $400 million revolving credit arrangement (“the Credit Arrangement”). The interest rates under the Credit Arrangement are based on Adjusted Term SOFR plus an interest margin of 1.25% per annum. Any loans drawn under the Credit Arrangement must be repaid on or prior to March 31, 2025. We are also obligated to pay a commitment fee on the unused amounts of the facility at an annual rate of 0.3125%. As of June 30, 2023, no amounts had been borrowed under the facility. See Note 12 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further detail.
As of June 30, 2023, our main source of liquidity was $3,300 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, which excludes a $1,399 million investment mainly related to the Central Bank of Brazil Mandatory Guarantee, and consists mainly of cash generated from operations and proceeds from loans.
As of June 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments of our non-U.S. subsidiaries amounted to $5,649 million or 82.9% of our consolidated cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments, and our non-US denominated cash and cash equivalent, restricted cash and cash equivalent and investments held outside U.S. amounted to 78.8% of our consolidated cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments. Our non-U.S. dollar-denominated cash and investments are located primarily in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina.
The following table presents our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Net cash provided by operating activities in the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 resulted mainly from our net income of $463 million, adjustments to net income related to non-cash items of $1,128 million, an increase in credit card receivables and other means of payments of $200 million, and an increase in payables and accrued expenses of $308 million. The $1,597 million increase in the net cash provided by operating activities in the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, is mainly explained by the $275 million increase in net income and the $171 million increase in unrealized foreign currency losses, together with an increase of $842 million in funds related to credit cards receivable and other means of payments, due to higher credit cards receivable sales.

We also used $866 million in principal of loans receivable granted to merchants and consumers under our Mercado Credito solution and $203 million in the investment of property and equipment (mainly related to our shipping network and information technology assets in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico).

In the event that we decide to pursue strategic acquisitions in the future, we may fund them with available cash, third-party debt financing, or by raising equity capital, as market conditions allow.

Debt
Convertible Senior Notes
On August 24, 2018, we issued $800 million of 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 and on August 31, 2018 we issued an additional $80 million of notes pursuant to the partial exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase such additional notes, resulting in an aggregate principal amount of $880 million of 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028. The 2028 Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, which pay interest in cash semi-annually, on February 15 and August 15, at a rate of 2.00% per annum. The 2028 Notes will mature on August 15, 2028 unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The 2028 Notes may be converted, under specific conditions, based on an initial conversion rate of 2.2553 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2028 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $443.40 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment as described in the indenture governing the 2028 Notes.
In January 2021, we signed agreements with 2028 Notes holders to repurchase $440 million principal amount of our outstanding 2028 Notes. The total amount paid amounted to $1,865 million, which includes principal, interest accrued and premium. As of the date of the issuance of this report, $439 million of our principal amount of the 2028 Notes remains outstanding.
Please refer to Note 12 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the 2028 Notes and the related capped call transactions.
Debt Securities Guaranteed by Subsidiaries
On January 14, 2021, we issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Sustainability Notes and $700 million aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes. The payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, and all other amounts in respect of each of the Notes, is fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Subsidiary Guarantees”), jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by certain of our subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The initial Subsidiary Guarantors were MercadoLibre S.R.L., Ibazar.com Atividades de Internet Ltda., eBazar.com.br Ltda., Mercado Envios Servicos de Logistica Ltda., Mercado Pago Instituição de Pagamento Ltda. (formerly known as “MercadoPago.com Representações Ltda.”), MercadoLibre Chile Ltda., MercadoLibre, S.A. de C.V., Institución de Fondos de Pago Electrónico (formerly known as “MercadoLibre, S. de R.L. de C.V.”), DeRemate.com de México, S. de R.L. de C.V. and MercadoLibre Colombia Ltda. On October 27, 2021, MercadoLibre, S.A. de C.V., Institución de Fondos de Pago Electrónico became an excluded subsidiary pursuant to the terms of the Notes and it was released from its Subsidiary Guaranty. On October 27, 2021, MP Agregador, S. de R.L. de C.V. became a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Notes. On July 1 and October 1, 2022, Ibazar.com Atividades de Internet Ltda. and Mercado Envios Servicos de Logistica Ltda. were merged into eBazar.com.br Ltda., respectively.
We pay interest on the Notes on January 14 and July 14 of each year, beginning on July 14, 2021. The 2026 Sustainability Notes will mature on January 14, 2026, and the 2031 Notes will mature on January 14, 2031.
The Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantee will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s other existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations, except for statutory priorities under applicable local law.
Each Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of applicable law. By virtue of this limitation, a Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligation under its Subsidiary Guarantee could be significantly less than amounts payable with respect to the Notes, or a Subsidiary Guarantor may have effectively no obligation under its Subsidiary Guarantee.
Under the indenture governing the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will terminate upon: (i) the sale, exchange, disposition or other transfer (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the Subsidiary Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor (other than to the Company or a Subsidiary) otherwise permitted by the indenture, (ii) satisfaction of the requirements for legal or covenant defeasance or discharge of the Notes, (iii) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor of the Triggering Indebtedness (as defined in the applicable indenture) or the repayment of the Triggering Indebtedness, in each case, that resulted in the obligation of such Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Guarantor, provided that in no event shall the Subsidiary Guarantee of an Initial Subsidiary Guarantor terminate pursuant to this provision, or (iv) such Subsidiary Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary (as defined in the applicable indenture) or ceasing to be a Subsidiary.

We may, at our option, redeem the 2026 Sustainability Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to December 14, 2025 (the date that is one month prior to the maturity of the 2026 Sustainability Notes) and the 2031 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to October 14, 2030 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity of the 2031 Notes), in each case by paying 100% of the principal amount of such Notes so redeemed plus the applicable “make-whole” amount and accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any. We may, at our option, redeem the 2026 Sustainability Notes, in whole or in part, on December 14, 2025 or at any time thereafter and the 2031 Notes on October 14, 2030 or at any time thereafter, in each case at the redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of such Notes so redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any. If we experience certain change of control triggering events, we may be required to offer to purchase the notes at 101% of their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the purchase date.
In May 2023, we repurchased a $2 million and $44 million principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Sustainability Notes and 2031 Notes, respectively. The total amount paid amounted to $38 million, as a result, $398 million and $656 million of the principal amount of the 2026 Sustainability Notes and 2031 Notes remains outstanding as of June 30, 2023, respectively. For the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, we recognized $8 million as a gain in Interest income and other financial gains in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of income.
See Note 12 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional detail.
We are presenting the following summarized financial information for the issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors (together, the “Obligor Group”) pursuant to Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X, Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered. For purposes of the following summarized financial information, transactions between the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, presented on a combined basis, have been eliminated. Financial information for the non-guarantor subsidiaries, and any investment in a non-guarantor subsidiary by the Company or by any Subsidiary Guarantor, have been excluded. Amounts due from, due to and transactions with the non-guarantor subsidiaries and other related parties, as applicable, have been separately presented in footnotes.
Summarized balance sheet information for the Obligor Group as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is provided in the table below:

Capital expenditures
Our capital expenditures (comprised of our investments for property and equipment (such as certain assets used in our fulfillment centers), intangible assets (excluding digital assets)) for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $203 million and $237 million, respectively.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, we invested $111 million in information and technology assets in Brazil, Argentina and Mexico, and $92 million in our Argentine, Brazilian and Mexican shipping premises and offices.
We are continually increasing our level of investment in hardware and software licenses necessary to improve and update our platform’s technology and computer software developed internally. We anticipate continued investments in capital expenditures related to information technology and logistics network capacity in the future as we strive to maintain our position in the Latin American e-commerce and fintech market.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, including the sale of credit card receivables, short-term investments and cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund our operating activities, property and equipment expenditures and to pay or repay obligations in the foreseeable future.
Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
To supplement our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we present earnings before interest income and other financial gains, interest expense and other financial losses, foreign currency losses, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and equity in earnings of unconsolidated entity (“Adjusted EBITDA”), net debt and foreign exchange (“FX”) neutral measures as non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures can be found in the tables below.
These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
We believe that reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure provides investors an overall understanding of our current financial performance and its prospects for the future.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents our net income, adjusted to eliminate the effect of depreciation and amortization charges, interest income and other financial gains, interest expense and other financial losses, foreign currency losses, income tax expense and equity in earnings of an unconsolidated entity. We have included this non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by our Management to evaluate our operating performance and trends, make strategic decisions and the calculation of leverage ratios. Accordingly, we believe this measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our Management. In addition, it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of certain items.

Net debt
We define net debt as total debt which includes current and non-current loans payable and other financial liabilities and current and non-current operating lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments, excluding foreign government debt securities held in guarantee, securitization transactions and equity securities held at cost. We have included this non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by our Management to analyze our current leverage ratios and set targets to be met, which will also impact other components of the Company’s balance sheet, cash flows and income statement. Accordingly, we believe this measure provides useful information to investors and other market participants in showing the evolution of the Company’s indebtedness and its capability of repayment as a means to, alongside other measures, monitor our leverage based on widely-used measures.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net debt for each of the periods indicated (in millions of U.S. dollars):

FX neutral
We believe that FX neutral measures provide useful information to both Management and investors by excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook.
The FX neutral measures were calculated by using the average monthly exchange rates for each month during 2022 and applying them to the corresponding months in 2023, so as to calculate what our results would have been had exchange rates remained stable from one year to the next. The table below excludes intercompany allocation FX effects. Finally, these measures do not include any other macroeconomic effect such as local currency inflation effects, the impact on impairment calculations or any price adjustment to compensate local currency inflation or devaluations.
The following table sets forth the FX neutral measures related to our reported results of the operations for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023:

Item 3 — Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosure About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks arising from our business operations. These market risks arise mainly from macroeconomic instability and the possibility that changes in interest rates and the U.S. dollar exchange rate with local currencies, particularly the Brazilian Real, Argentine Peso and Mexican Peso due to Brazil’s, Argentina’s and Mexico’s respective share of our revenues, may affect the value of our financial assets and liabilities.
We are also exposed to market risks arising from our long-term retention programs (“LTRPs”). These market risks arise from our obligations to pay employees cash payments in amounts that vary based on the market price of our stock.
Foreign currencies
We have significant operations internationally that are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Brazilian Real, Argentine Peso, Mexican Peso, Colombian Peso and Chilean Peso, subjecting us to foreign currency risk, which may adversely impact our financial results. We transact business in various foreign currencies and have significant international revenues and costs. In addition, we charge our international subsidiaries for their use of intellectual property and technology and for certain corporate services. Our cash flows, results of operations and certain of our intercompany balances that are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations may differ materially from expectations and we may record significant gains or losses due to foreign currency fluctuations and related hedging activities.
We use foreign currency exchange forward contracts and currency swaps to protect our foreign currency exposure and our investment in a foreign subsidiary from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These hedging contracts reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the impact of adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements. We designate these contracts as cash flow and net investment hedges for accounting purposes. The derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). Cash flow hedges and net investment hedges are subsequently reclassified into the financial statement line item in which the hedged item is recorded in the same period the forecasted transaction affects earnings.
As of June 30, 2023, we hold cash and cash equivalents in local currencies in our subsidiaries, and have receivables denominated in local currencies in all of our operations. Our subsidiaries generate revenues and incur most of their expenses in the respective local currencies of the countries in which they operate. As a result, our subsidiaries use their local currency as their functional currency except for our Argentine subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar due to the inflationary environment. As of June 30, 2023, the total cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalent denominated in foreign currencies totaled $3,314 million, short-term investments denominated in foreign currencies totaled $1,847 million and accounts receivable, credit card receivables and other means of payment and loans receivable in foreign currencies totaled $5,122 million. As of June 30, 2023, we had $91 million long-term investments denominated in foreign currencies. To manage exchange rate risk, our treasury policy is to transfer most cash and cash equivalents in excess of working capital requirements into U.S. dollar-denominated accounts in the United States and to enter into certain foreign exchange derivatives, such as currency forwards contracts, in order to mitigate our exposure to foreign exchange risk. As of June 30, 2023, our U.S. dollar-denominated cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $1,502 million and our U.S. dollar-denominated long-term investments totaled $58 million.
For the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, we had a consolidated loss on foreign currency of $269 million and $182 million, respectively, mainly related to higher foreign exchange losses attributable to our own common stock acquisition in the Argentine market at a price that reflects the additional cost of accessing U.S. dollars through an indirect mechanism due to restrictions imposed by the Argentine government for buying U.S. dollars at the official exchange rate, higher foreign exchange losses from our Argentinian subsidiaries, partially offset by foreign exchange gains from our Brazilian and Mexican subsidiaries. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of operations—Other income (expenses), net” for more information.

Foreign Currency Sensitivity Analysis
The table below shows the impact on our net revenues, cost of net revenues, operating expenses, other income (expenses) and income tax, net income and equity for a positive and a negative 10% fluctuation on all the foreign currencies to which we are exposed to at the moment of translating our financial statements to U.S. dollars for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023:

(*)Includes cost of net revenues and operating expenses.
The table above shows an increase in our net income when the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies because of the positive impact of the increase in income from operations. On the other hand, the table above shows a decrease in our net income when the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies because of the negative impact of the decrease in income from operations.
Brazilian Segment
Considering a hypothetical devaluation of 10% of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. dollar on June 30, 2023, the reported net assets in our Brazilian subsidiaries would have decreased by approximately $191 million with the related impact in Other Comprehensive Income. Additionally, we would have recorded a foreign currency loss amounting to approximately $33 million in our Brazilian subsidiaries.
Argentine Segment
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have classified our Argentine operations as highly inflationary since July 1, 2018, using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency for purposes of reporting our financial statements. Therefore, no translation effect has been accounted for in other comprehensive income related to our Argentine operations since July 1, 2018. Argentina’s inflation rate for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 50.7% and 36.2%, respectively.
We use Argentina’s official exchange rate to account for transactions in our Argentine segment, which as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was 256.70 and 177.16 Argentine Pesos, respectively, against the U.S. dollar. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 Argentina’s depreciation of its local currency against the U.S. dollar was 44.9% and 21.9%, respectively.
Considering a hypothetical devaluation of 10% of the Argentine Peso against the U.S. dollar on June 30, 2023, the effect on non-functional currency net asset position in our Argentine subsidiaries would have been a foreign exchange loss amounting to approxima tely $8 mill ion in our Argentine subsidiaries.
See “Summary of significant accounting policies - Foreign currency translation - Argentine currency status and Argentine Exchange regulations” in Note 2 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further detail on the currency status and the exchange regulations of our Argentine segment.

Mexican Segment
Considering a hypothetical devaluation of 10% of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar on June 30, 2023, the reported net assets in our Mexican subsidiaries would have decreased by approximately $76 million with the related impact in Other Comprehensive Income. Additionally, we would have recorded a foreign currency loss amounting to approximately $22 million in our Mexican subsidiaries.
Interest
Our earnings and cash flows are also affected by changes in interest rates. These changes could have an impact on the interest rates that financial institutions charge us prior to the time we sell our Mercado Pago receivables and on the financial debt that we use to fund Mercado Pago and Mercado Credito’s operations. As of June 30, 2023, Mercado Pago’s receivables totaled $2,835 million. Interest rate fluctuations could also impact interest earned through our Mercado Credito solution. As of June 30, 2023, loans receivable from our Mercado Credito solution totaled $2,127 million. Interest rate fluctuations could also negatively affect certain of our fixed rate and floating rate investments comprised primarily of time deposits, money market funds and sovereign debt securities. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning products carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than predicted if interest rates fall.
As of June 30, 2023, our short-term investments amounted to $2,839 million and our long-term investments amounted to $149 million. Our short-term investments, except for the $1,399 million investment, which is mainly related to the Central Bank of Brazil Mandatory Guarantee, can be readily converted at any time into cash or into securities with a shorter remaining time to maturity. We determine the appropriate classification of our investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluate such designations as of each balance sheet date. See Notes 3 and 5 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further detail on our restricted investments.
Fluctuations of the interest rate could also have a negative impact on interest expense related to our Loans payable and other financial liabilities, as a portion of these instruments is subject to variable interest rates. As of June 30, 2023, our loans payable and other financial liabilities, which accrue interest based on variable rates, amounted to $2,669 million, while our loans payable and other financial liabilities, which accrue interest based on fixed rates, amounted to $2,098 million. See Notes 12 and 13 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further detail. Considering a hypothetical increase of 10% of the interest rates on June 30, 2023, the reported Loans payable and other financial liabilities would have increased by approximately $4 million with the related impact in Interest expense and other financial losses. We have entered into swap contracts to hedge the interest rate fluctuation of $472 million notional amount, $161 million of which have been designated as hedging instruments. See Note 15 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further detail on derivative instruments.
Equity Price Risk
Our Board, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, approved the 2018 Long Term Retention Program (the “2018 LTRP”).
In order to receive an award under the 2018 LTRP, each eligible employee must satisfy the performance conditions established by the Board for such employee. If these conditions are satisfied, the eligible employee will, subject to his or her continued employment as of each applicable payment date, receive the full amount of his or her 2018 LTRP award, payable as follows:
•the eligible employee will receive a fixed payment, equal to 8.333% of his or her 2018 LTRP bonus once a year for a period of six years starting no later than April 30, 2019 (the “2018 Annual Fixed Payment”); and
•on each date we pay the respective Annual Fixed Payment to an eligible employee, he or she will also receive a payment (the “2018 Variable Payment”) equal to the product of (i) 8.333% of the applicable 2018 LTRP award and (ii) the quotient of (a) divided by (b), where (a), the numerator, equals the Applicable Year Stock Price (as defined below) and (b) the denominator, equals the 2017 Stock Price, defined as $270.84, which was the average closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market during the final 60 trading days of 2017. The “Applicable Year Stock Price” shall equal the average closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market during the final 60 trading days of the year preceding the applicable payment date.
Our Board, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, approved the 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 Long Term Retention Program (the “2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 LTRPs”), respectively, under which certain eligible employees have the opportunity to receive cash payments annually for a period of six years (with the first payment occurring no later than April 30, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 for the 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 LTRPs, respectively).

In order to receive the full target award under the 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and/or 2023 LTRPs, each eligible employee must remain employed as of each applicable payment date. The 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 LTRP awards are payable as follows:
•the eligible employee will receive 16.66% of half of his or her target 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and/or 2023 LTRP bonus once a year for a period of six years, with the first payment occurring no later than April 30, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively (the “2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 or 2023 Annual Fixed Payment”, respectively); and
•on each date we pay the respective Annual Fixed Payment to an eligible employee, he or she will also receive a payment (the “2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 or 2023 Variable Payment”) equal to the product of (i) 16.66% of half of the target 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 or 2023 LTRP award and (ii) the quotient of (a) divided by (b), where (a), the numerator, equals the Applicable Year Stock Price (as defined below) and (b), the denominator, equals the average closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market during the final 60 trading days of 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 defined as $322.91, $553.45, $1,431.26, $1,391.81 and $888.69 for the 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 LTRPs, respectively. The “Applicable Year Stock Price” shall equal the average closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market during the final 60 trading days of the year preceding the applicable payment date.
As of June 30, 2023, the total contractual obligation fair value of our outstanding LTRP Variable Award Payment obligation subject to equity price risk amounted to $419 million. As of June 30, 2023, the accrued liability related to the outstanding Variable Award Payment of the LTRP included in Salaries and social security payable and Non-current other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet amounted to $50 million. The following table shows a sensitivity analysis of the risk associated with our total contractual obligation fair value related to the outstanding LTRP Variable Award Payment subject to equity price risk if our common stock price per share were to increase or decrease by up to 40%:
