NOTE 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 U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars, except for where otherwise indicated. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated for consolidation purposes.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. 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, 2025, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (the “Company’s 2025 10-K”). The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

For a more detailed discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the financial statements in the Company’s 2025 10-K. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, there were no material updates made to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

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 and disclosures 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 cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, impairment of long-lived assets, separation of lease and non lease components for aircraft leases, asset retirement obligation, compensation costs relating to the Company’s long term retention program, fair value of certain loans payable and other financial liabilities, fair value of loans receivable, fair value of derivative instruments, income taxes, contingencies and determination of the incremental borrowing rate at commencement date of lease operating agreements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Supplier finance programs

The Company and certain financial institutions participate in a supplier finance program 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 policies. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the obligations outstanding that the Company has confirmed as valid to the financial institutions amounted to $616 million and $616 million, respectively.

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 2025 10-K.

The gain arising from sales of credit card receivables, net of the costs recognized on sale of such credit card receivables, is $367 million and $255 million, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. See Note 4 – Loans receivable, net of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further details on the sales of loans receivables.

Revenues recognized under ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers, amounted to $6,065 million and $4,191 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Revenues not recognized under ASC 606 amounted to $2,780 million and $1,744 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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 card receivables and other means of payments are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts and chargebacks of $82 million and $63 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. See Note 4 – Loans receivable, net of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for information related to the allowance for doubtful accounts with respect to the Company’s loans receivable.

Contract liabilities from contracts with customers consist of fees received related to unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the period in accordance with ASC 606. Due to the generally short-term duration of contracts, the majority of the performance obligations are satisfied in the following months. Contract liabilities from contracts with customers as of December 31, 2025 was $133 million, of which$127 million was recognized as revenue during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.

As of March 31, 2026, total contract liabilities from contracts with customers recognized within current other liabilities was $151 million, mainly due to fees related to classified advertising services billed, subscriptions and loyalty programs, shipping services and inventory sales that are expected to be recognized as revenue in the coming months.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the assets under management of the Company related to mutual funds amount to $4,719 million and $4,536 million, respectively.

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). Gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in non-functional currencies are recognized in earnings. Net foreign currency transaction results are included in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income under the caption “Foreign currency gains (losses), net.”

Argentine currency status and macroeconomic outlook

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 three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 9.4% and 8.6%, respectively. Additionally, Argentina’s average inter-annual inflation rate for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 was 32.7%.

The Company uses Argentina’s official exchange rate to account for transactions in the Argentine segment, which as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was 1,382.00 and 1,455.00 Argentine Pesos, respectively, against the U.S. dollar. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, Argentina’s official exchange rate against the U.S. dollar decreased by 5.0% and increased by 4.1%, respectively. The average exchange rate for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 1,417.76 and 1,057.00, respectively, resulting in an increase of 34.1%.

Argentine exchange regulations

In 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”).

On April 11, 2025, the Argentine government announced a series of measures aimed at easing regulations related to access to the foreign exchange market. Among other modifications, these measures included the establishment of floating bands (which started between $1,000 and $1,400 Argentine Pesos, a range that was updated at a rate of 1% per month until December 2025) within which the dollar exchange rate in the foreign exchange market may fluctuate, the elimination of foreign exchange restrictions applicable to individuals, the ability of companies to transfer dividends abroad to non-resident shareholders related to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025 and provide greater flexibility to make payments abroad for imports of goods and services. Effective January 1, 2026, the floating bands were updated monthly in accordance with the most recently published monthly inflation rate.

On September 26, 2025, the CBA imposed a restriction that prohibits purchasing securities on the Argentina Stock Market that are to be settled in foreign currency for a period of 90 days following the purchase of foreign currency in the official exchange market. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the spread between the official exchange rate and the Blue Chip Swap Rate was 7.5% and 4.6%, respectively.

Income taxes

The Company's accounting policy for income taxes is described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2025 10-K.

The Company’s consolidated estimated effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, decreased from 30.0% to 27.9%, mainly as a result of higher income tax gains in Brazil related to the increase in deferred tax assets due to the income tax reform passed in December 2025 which will incrementally raise the tax rate beginning in April 2026.

A valuation allowance is recorded when, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized. In accordance with ASC 740, Management periodically assesses the need to either establish or reverse a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets considering positive and negative objective evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax assets. In its assessment, Management considers, among other factors, the nature, frequency and magnitude of current and cumulative losses on an individual subsidiary basis, projections of future taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, as well as feasible tax planning strategies, which would be employed by the Company to prevent tax loss carry-forwards from expiring unutilized.

Knowledge-based economy promotional regime in Argentina

The Company recorded an income tax benefit related to the Knowledge-based economy promotional regime in Argentina (the “Regime”) of $13 million and $18 million, during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The aggregate per share effect of the income tax benefit amounted to $0.25 and $0.36 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Regime is effective until December 31, 2029.

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 interim condensed consolidated statements of income and interim condensed consolidated statements 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: i) foreign government debt securities and ii) U.S. government debt securities.

Additionally, the Company has elected to measure the liability related to the Meli Dólar program, which corresponds to the holding by third-parties of the Company’s stablecoin, at fair value.

Earnings per share

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the weighted average of outstanding common shares for the diluted earnings per share includes the effect of 116 incremental shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon vesting of restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

On July 30, 2025, the FASB issued the ASU 2025-05 “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets.” The amendments in this update provide entities with a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and/or current contract assets arising from transactions under Topic 606, including those assets acquired in a transaction accounted for under Topic 805, Business Combinations. In developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses, all entities may elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption was permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial statements had not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The practical expedient is applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued the ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The amendments in this update improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of additional information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting, such as the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption; a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively; the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 (as clarified by ASU 2025-01). Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this update or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is assessing the effects that the adoption of this accounting pronouncement may have on its consolidated financial statements.

On September 18, 2025, the FASB issued the ASU 2025-06 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” The amendments in this update remove all references to software development methods (prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”)) throughout Subtopic 350-40. Therefore, an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The amendment specifies that the property, plant and equipment disclosure requirements under ASC 360-10 apply to all capitalized software costs accounted for under ASC 350-40, regardless of how the costs are presented in the financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The amendments can be applied on a prospective transition approach, a modified transition approach (based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption), or a retrospective transition approach. The Company is assessing the effects that the adoption of this accounting pronouncement may have on its consolidated financial statements.

This transaction is accounted for as a true sale and the Company has a continuing involvement related to a servicing fee charged to the purchaser for collection services and regarding a beneficial interest retained by the Company over the transferred assets. Such involvements did not preclude the fact that this operation qualified as a true sale because the purchaser had full control over the transferred assets.

(1) The Company writes off loans when customer balance becomes 360 days past due.

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 lending 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 number of transactions in the Company’s ecosystem and 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 amortized cost of the loans receivable classified by the Company’s credit quality internal indicator was as follows:

(1) Measured at fair value with impact on the statement of income for the application of the fair value option. (See Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies – Fair value option applied to certain financial instruments).

(2) As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, includes $266 million and $206 million, respectively, of money market funds from securitization transactions. (See Note 3 – Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments).

20 | MercadoLibre, Inc.

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 agreement of an acquisition, the likelihood of achievement of the targets included in that arrangement (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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 three-month period ended March 31, 2026, nor during the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company’s election of the fair value option applies to: i) foreign government debt securities, ii) U.S. government debt securities and iii) Meli Dólar liability. The Company recognized fair value changes of foreign and U.S. government debt securities, which include the related interest income of those instruments, in net service revenues and financial income if it is related to Mercado Pago’s operations or in interest income and other financial gains, net if not. Such fair value changes and interest income amount to gains of $39 million and $125 million in net service revenues and financial income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $10 million and $20 million in interest income and other financial gains, net for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Meli Dólar liability has not presented changes in its fair value for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amortized cost of the Company’s investment in corporate debt securities classified as available for sale amounted to $497 million and $392 million, respectively, and the estimated fair value amounted to $498 million and $399 million, respectively. The cost of these securities is determined under a specific identification basis. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the gross unrealized gains accumulated amounted to $3 million and $7 million, respectively, and as of March 31, 2026 the gross unrealized loss accumulated amounted to $2 million.

Financial assets and liabilities not measured and recorded at fair value

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the financial assets and liabilities of the Company not measured at fair value as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in foreign debt securities held to maturity amounted to $159 million and $146 million, respectively, and its contractual maturity is less than a year.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Company’s financial assets with determinable fair value (except for loans receivable) not measured at fair value approximated their fair value mainly because of their short-term maturity. If these financial assets were measured at fair value in the financial statements, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents would be classified as Level 1 (where cost and fair value are aligned), foreign debt securities held to maturity would be classified as Level 3 and the remaining financial assets would be classified as Level 2. The estimated fair value of the loans receivable would be classified as Level 3 based on the Company’s assumptions.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Company’s financial liabilities (except for the 3.125% Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) and the 4.900% Notes due 2033 (the "2033 Notes")) not measured at fair value approximated their fair value mainly because of their short-term maturity or because the effective interest rates are not materially different from market interest rates. If these financial liabilities were measured at fair value in the financial statements, these would be classified as Level 2. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the 2031 Notes would have been $492 million and $501 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the 2033 Notes would have been $737 million and $726 million, respectively, which is based on Level 2 inputs.

NOTE 8. 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 that future costs will probably 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 March 31, 2026, the Company had accounted for estimated liabilities involving proceeding-related contingencies and other estimated contingencies of$148 million(net of judicial deposits) within non current other liabilities to cover legal actions against the Company for 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.

22 | MercadoLibre, Inc.

In addition, as of March 31, 2026, 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 $513 million. No loss amounts have been accrued for such reasonably possible legal actions.

For further information related to contingent liabilities please refer to Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2025 10-K.

Tax Claims

Withholding Tax in the Brazil-Argentina Double Taxation Convention

The tax claims related to the withholding income tax (“IRRF”) over payments remitted by certain Brazilian subsidiaries to MercadoLibre S.R.L. for the provision of intercompany management and IT services are described in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 202510-K.

In February 2026, the first-instance judge denied the writ of mandamus filed by the subsidiary Mercado Crédito Sociedade de Crédito, Financiamento e Investimento S.A. and therefore an appeal was filed, which is currently pending before the Federal Regional Court of the Third Region. The Company continues to make judicial deposits of the amounts under dispute.

Management’s opinion, based on the opinion of external legal counsel, is that the risk of losing the cases is probable based on the technical merits of the Company’s tax position and the existence of adverse decisions issued by the Superior Court of Justice. For that reason, the Company has recorded a provision for the disputed amounts, which was$592 million as of March 31, 2026, and which was recorded in non-current other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, net of the corresponding judicial deposits for $571 million (which includes $127 million of interest income).

Exclusion of ICMS tax benefits from federal taxes base

The tax claims related to the exclusion of ICMS tax benefits from the tax base of the Corporate Income Tax (“IRPJ”) and of the Social Contribution on Net Profits (“CSLL”) and the federal contributions PIS and COFINS are described in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2025 10-K.

Regarding the writ of mandamus filed to set aside the federal contributions IRPJ and CSLL under Law 14,789 (from January 2024 onwards), on March 16, 2026, the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice (“STJ”) selected three Special Appeals for adjudication under the binding precedent’s rule, establishing Repetitive Theme No. 1416 which will determine whether ICMS presumed credits should be excluded from the IRPJ and CSLL tax bases, both before and after the enactment of Federal Law no. 14,789/2023. STJ’s final ruling may affect the outcome of the Company’s writ of mandamus. Management’s opinion, based on the opinion of external legal counsel, is that the risk of losing the case remains not more likely than not based on the technical merits of the Company’s tax position. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any expense or liability for the disputed amounts. As of March 31, 2026, the total disputed amount was $131 million.

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 for all transactions completed through the Company’s online payment solution Mercado Pago (except for certain excluded categories). 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Management’s estimate of the maximum potential exposure related to the Company’s buyer protection program is $8,100 million and $7,953 million, respectively, for which the Company recorded a provision of $20 million and $19 million, respectively.

Commitments

The Company has signedtwo andfive-year agreements with certain providers, pursuant to which the Company committed to purchase cloud platform and other technology services (including artificial intelligence capabilities) for a total minimum aggregate purchase commitment of $3,459 million. As of March 31, 2026, the remaining purchase commitment is $2,359 million.

23 | MercadoLibre, Inc.

The Company has signed aten-year agreement with Gol Linhas Aereas S.A. under which the Company committed to contract a minimum amount of air logistics services for a total cost of $378 million (portion allocated to the services component of the agreement). As of March 31, 2026, the remaining purchase commitment is $282 million.

Since October 2023, the Company has signed three-year agreements with certain shipping companies in Brazil, under which the Company committed to contract a minimum amount of logistics services for a total cost of $60 million. As of March 31, 2026, the remaining purchase commitment amounted to $23 million.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company has lease agreements for new warehouses in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Chile, for a total amount of $2,122 million, that have not yet commenced. Lease terms under the agreements are between 5 to 16 years.

On April 28, 2026, Mercado Pago Instituição de Pagamento Ltda. was released from its guarantee pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

On September 12, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “First Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement with the administrative agent and the guarantors. The First Amendment permits the Company to request, at one or more times, that existing and/or new lenders provide, at their election, up to $400 million of additional commitments, for an aggregate principal amount of credit commitments of up to $800 million.

On April 28, 2026, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with the administrative agent and the guarantors. The Second Amendment requires that the aggregate revenues of guarantors that guarantee loans drawn from the facility represent at least 60% of the revenues of the Company, down from 75%.

The interest rates under the Amended Credit Agreement are based on Term SOFR (“Secured Overnight Funding Rate”) plus an interest margin of 1.00% per annum, which may be decreased to 0.90% per annum or increased to 1.15% per annum depending on the Company’s debt rating, as further provided under the Amended Credit Agreement.

NOTE 11. 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 card receivables 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 and is required to consolidate the SPE.

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, Mexican and Chilean 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. The 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 following table summarizes the Company’s collateralized debt under securitization transactions, as of March 31, 2026:

28 | MercadoLibre, Inc.

(1) Minimum and maximum maturity depending on the applicable interest rate within the range.

(2) As of March 31, 2026, Loans payables owned by this trust were obtained through private placements. Mercado Crédito XLVII trust made a public bond offering in the Argentine stock market on April 9, 2026.

29 | MercadoLibre, Inc.

In June 2025, the Company renegotiated key terms of several collateralized debt structures in Brazil to reduce funding costs and increase flexibility in asset eligibility. As a result, the Company achieved interest rate reductions across three SPEs in Brazil: Mercado Crédito I Brasil Fundo de Investimento Em Direitos Creditórios Não Padronizados reduced its interest rate spread from 2.50% to 2.25%, Mercado Crédito Fundo de Investimento Em Direitos Creditórios Não Padronizado from 3.50% to 3.00% (and extended its maturity from August 2025 to April 2028), and Mercado Crédito II Brasil Fundo De Investimento Em Direitos Creditórios Nao Padronizado from 2.35% to 1.75% (while also extending its maturity from January 2030 to October 2031).

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company achieved interest rate reductions across one SPE in Brazil: Mercado Crédito Fundo de Investimento Em Direitos Creditórios Não Padronizado reduced its interest rate spread from 3.00% to 2.50% (and extended its maturity from April 2028 to March 2029) and one SPE in Mexico: Fideicomiso Irrevocable de Administración y Fuente de Pago 6189 reduced its interest rate spread from 2.80% to 2.55%.

The assets and liabilities of the SPEs through which the Company securitizes financial assets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows:

(1) Restricted cash and cash equivalents from the SPEs include balances maintained in digital wallets that are eliminated for consolidation purposes.

NOTE 13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Cash flow hedges

The Company uses foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the foreign currency effects related to the forecasted purchase of MPOS devices in U.S. dollars, hosting, licenses, fraud prevention, LTRP expenses, air logistics services and lease payments, which are payable in U.S. dollars (or in local currency linked to the U.S. dollar exchange rate) owed by Brazilian and Mexican subsidiaries, whose functional currencies are the Brazilian Real and the Mexican Peso, respectively. The Company designated the foreign currency exchange contracts as cash flow hedges, the derivatives’ gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified into the consolidated statements of income in the “Cost of net revenues and financial expenses,” “Product and technology development,” “Sales and marketing," “General and administrative expenses" and “Foreign currency gains (losses), net” line items, in the same period the forecasted transaction affects earnings. As of March 31, 2026, the Company estimated that the whole amount of net derivative gains or losses related to its cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into the consolidated statements of income within the next 12 months.

The Company has also entered into a currency swap contract to hedge the foreign currency exchange effects related to a foreign currency financial debt issued by one of its Brazilian subsidiaries. The Company designated the currency swap contract as cash flow hedge, the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified into the consolidated statements of income in the “Cost of net revenues and financial expenses” and “Foreign currency gains (losses), net” line items in the same period the forecasted transaction affects earnings. The derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

Fair value hedges

The Company has entered into swap contracts to hedge the interest rate and the foreign currency exposure of its fixed-rate, foreign currency financial debt held by its Brazilian subsidiaries. The Company designated the swap contracts as fair value hedges. The derivatives’ gain or loss is reported in the consolidated statements of income 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.

The Company also uses future contracts to hedge the interest rate exposure of its asset-backed loan portfolio originated in Brazil. In these cases, where the assets included in the portfolio share the same risk exposure, the Company designated the future contracts as fair value hedges under the portfolio layer method. The derivatives’ gain or loss is reported in the consolidated statements of income in the same line item as the change in the value of the financial assets due to the hedged risk. Accordingly, the Company unlocks its portfolio’s fixed-rate to mitigate the effect of interest rate fluctuations.

Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments

The Company entered into certain foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the foreign currency fluctuations related to certain transactions and balances denominated in U.S. dollars of certain of its Brazilian and Mexican subsidiaries, whose functional currencies are the Brazilian Real and the Mexican Peso, respectively. These transactions were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

32 | MercadoLibre, Inc.

The Company entered into certain foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the foreign currency fluctuations related to commercial notes denominated in U.S. dollars issued by a certain Argentine subsidiary. As explained through Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies, the Company changed the functional currency for Argentine subsidiaries from Argentine Pesos to U.S. dollars under US GAAP, as a consequence of hyperinflation status, so these transactions were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, as no foreign exchange risk exists under U.S. GAAP related to U.S. dollar denominated commercial notes in Argentina.

Finally, as of March 31, 2026, the Company entered into swap contracts to hedge the interest rate fluctuation of a certain portion of its financial debt in one of its Brazilian subsidiaries. These transactions were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

The following table presents the notional amounts of the Company’s outstanding derivative instruments:
