Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026
- Although we discuss long-term trends in our business, it is our policy not to provide earnings guidance in the traditional sense.
- 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 believe that product and technology development is one of our key competitive advantages and we intend to continue to invest in technology and AI capabilities to meet the increasingly sophisticated product expectations of our customer base.
- Provision for doubtful accounts consists of the current expected credit losses on our financial assets, mainly loans receivable.
- As we continue to grow and focus on expanding our leadership in the region, we will continue to invest in sales and marketing in order to promote our services and capture long-term business opportunities as well as the expansion of our credit portfolio, which contributes to the increase in our provision for doubtful accounts.
- 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.
- Management uses NIMAL to monitor how effective our pricing is and managing the credit products relative to their risk and setting targets.
- 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.
- 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.
