Q2'25. Growth was broad-based and driven by multiple factors: a higher mix of premium take rate transactions (which offers interest-free installments to buyers), incremental installments funded by Mercado Libre, the launch of MELI+ and a 6ppt YoY increase in fulfillment penetration. This led to a record level of same day deliveries in Argentina. Mexico delivered an excellent performance in Q2'25. Items sold grew 36% YoY - the fastest pace in nearly two years - driving FX- neutral GMV growth to accelerate to 32% YoY. Our ongoing investment in logistics continues to yield good results. Fulfillment penetration in Mexico exceeded 75% for the first time, supported by the opening of new facilities that expanded capacity available to sellers. As a result, the proportion of same- and next-day deliveries rose sequentially in Q2'25 and improved YoY after falling slightly in Q1'25. Cross-border GMV growth accelerated following the roll-out of a range of initiatives in Q1'25 designed to improve competitiveness. Pricing and financing were sharper across the site in Q2'25, while assortment improvements further strengthened our value proposition. Executing well on these efforts reversed the specific weaknesses in consumer electronics that we highlighted in Q1'25, and drove a substantial acceleration in first-party (1P) growth in Mexico. Our 1P business continues to scale rapidly across the region. Quarterly GMV surpassed $1bn for the first time in Q2'25 after growing 103% YoY on an FX-neutral basis. This rapid scaling is an indicator of the strength of our value proposition and the strategic importance of 1P as a tool to fill gaps in our assortment or price competitiveness. This is enabling us to expand share in categories such as consumer electronics, where we have historically been underweighted. We continue to deploy technology to manage all aspects of the business, gain scale with suppliers, and increase advertising revenue. Our integration with Google Ad Manager and AdMob went live in April. This is an important milestone as we seek to build the best value proposition for advertisers in branding as well as search. This integration expands our reach beyond Mercado Libre's ecosystem. Advertisers can now seamlessly manage campaigns that simultaneously target consumers both inside and outside our ecosystem. Advertisers can leverage our rich first-party data and we can provide attribution for branding campaigns. These are unique capabilities that are core to our vision of Mercado Ads as a major media company in Latin America with a compelling full- funnel offer for advertisers of all shapes and sizes. In Q2'25, advertising revenue growth accelerated to 38% YoY and 59% on an FX-neutral basis. Growth in search remains resilient, while Display & Video revenue almost doubled YoY, albeit still from a low base. All countries posted solid growth as revenue relative to GMV rose across-the-board, with Argentina narrowing the gap with Brazil and Mexico. Fintech Services We are excited about the trends we are seeing in Fintech Services. We have worked hard for years to build a value proposition with exceptional customer satisfaction and user experience. Leading net promoter scores (NPS) in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Chile show that this is already a reality. So too does the growth in our user base, which has doubled over the last two and a half years to reach almost 68mn MAUs in Q2'25 (+30% YoY). The average number of products per user in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina has risen by approximately 50% over the same two and a half year period, and the proportion of high frequency users continues to rise consistently across-the-board. In other words: engagement is strengthening. This is the context in which we launched bold marketing campaigns in Brazil, Mexico and Chile in Q2'25 with the objective of significantly expanding Mercado Pago's reach beyond its current 68mn MAUs. Our yielding account and savings products were central elements of these marketing campaigns. We are convinced that offering attractive yields on funds held in Mercado Pago accounts is great for consumers and a powerful engagement tool. It is the Fintech equivalent of free shipping, which reduces friction for people to come to our platform. This strategy has enabled us to build the largest retail money market fund in Argentina. It is helping us attract funds in Brazil, where we see a huge opportunity in the $180bn held in "poupança" savings accounts. These accounts pay approximately 65% of the benchmark rate vs. 100% to 120% at Mercado Pago. In Mexico, this strategy is helping to digitalize payments in an economy where a major portion of consumption is still handled in physical currency. As a result, we saw the largest ever QoQ nominal increase in AUM in Brazil, Mexico and Chile in Q2'25, with the total more than doubling YoY to $13.8bn.

Mercado Pago's credit card performed strongly in Q2'25, with the portfolio growing 118% YoY to $4.0bn. We continue to see steady progress towards profitability across cohorts. In Brazil, our entire 2023 cohort is now NIMAL positive, which is consistent with prior cohorts that typically reached this milestone within two years. Together, these cohorts represent 51% of our credit card portfolio in Brazil, and are now being followed into profitability by our 2024 cohort – the biggest cohort yet. As more cohorts reach profitability, our ability to offset the dilutive impact of new, initially unprofitable cohorts continues to improve. This trend enabled the credit card to achieve NIMAL breakeven in Q2'25 – even as we accelerated new card issuance to more than 1.5mn cards in the quarter. The credit card was the primary driver of 91% YoY growth in the total credit portfolio in Q2'25. It now represents 43% of our $9.3bn book, up from 37% in Q2'24. Brazil's credit card led the portfolio's sequential growth, with additional strength in the country's merchant and consumer books. In Mexico, both consumer and credit card portfolios posted their largest ever QoQ increase in nominal terms. This strong growth was accompanied by solid spreads and healthy asset quality. NIMAL of 23% was broadly stable QoQ as the unwinding of negative Q1 seasonality was offset by credit card mix and moves upmarket. Our 15-90 day NPL ratio improved to 6.7%, with sequential improvements across all major countries and products. We are encouraged by these trends, which reflect our strategy of growth with risk management as the top priority. Acquiring We continued to gain market share across all major geographies in Q2'25 with Acquiring TPV growth of 53% YoY on an FX-neutral basis. Our ability to offer multiple products and serve merchants with a single point of contact is proving to be attractive for large merchants in Argentina. This move upmarket has been a key driver of TPV growth well ahead of inflation. In Chile, processing times improved as we continued migrating devices from Redelcom to Mercado Pago, contributing to acceleration of growth in Q2'25. In Brazil, our Instore segment delivered its highest FX-neutral TPV growth since Q1'23 as we continue to reap the benefits of our focus on attracting high quality TPV. In Mexico, we introduced new features that enable merchants to accept bill payments (such as cable TV), driving traffic to their stores and enhancing our cash network. We also enabled a dynamic currency conversion feature that enables merchants to display payment amounts in US dollars as well as Mexican pesos. This adds flexibility and creates monetization opportunities for Mercado Pago. Operating efficiently remains a top priority. We have integrated our AI platform, Verdi, into our CRM tool to enhance the productivity of our commercial teams, resulting in faster activation and higher TPV per new merchant. We have also deployed Verdi to support online payments merchants with their technical integrations with Mercado Pago and to assist instore merchants facing device issues. This has enabled more autonomous problem resolution and significantly reduced the number of device replacements. Consolidated Financial Results Net revenues & financial income sustained its rapid pace of growth in Q2'25, rising 34% YoY to $6.8bn. This is consistent with performance in recent quarters, despite lapping shipping reporting updates, incremental investment in free shipping and reduced shipping charges for sellers. Consolidated FX-neutral revenue growth of 53% YoY moderated versus previous quarters due to slowing inflation in Argentina, which is beneficial for our business, consumers, and the broader economy. This revenue growth was supported by strong FX-neutral trends in both Commerce (+45% YoY) and Fintech (+63%). We are investing to capture the many growth opportunities ahead, while maintaining our commitment to doing so profitably and sustainably. In Q2'25, we believe we struck a good balance: income from operations grew 14% YoY to $825mn while the margin contracted by 210bps YoY. This compression was primarily driven growth investments. Forgone revenue from incremental free shipping and seller shipping discounts (implemented in June) flows directly through to the income from operations line. Additionally, we saw a negative mix impact from 1P this quarter, and marketing spend also increased to support our free shipping and Mercado Pago campaigns. We are confident these are the right investments to make for the benefit of our users and our ecosystem as, over time, they stimulates engagement with our marketplace, and potential fintech and advertising cross-sells. While provisions increased as a percentage of consolidated revenue - as credit grew faster than the business overall - the credit business was a net positive for YoY margin evolution overall. On the positive side, we are pleased to have diluted G&A and Product Development expenses once again. MercadoLibre Letter to Shareholders 3 Q2'25 Results

Net income of $523mn was down slightly YoY due to higher FX losses and normalization of our tax rate in Q2'25. FX losses of $117mn doubled YoY, mainly due to the devaluation of the Argentine Peso in April. This led to larger FX losses compared to previous devaluations because our net asset position in the country has grown as the economy has stabilized. The effective tax rate was higher YoY because deductions related to tax inflation adjustments significantly reduced taxable income in Argentina in 2024. Adjusted free cash flow reached $454mn in Q2'25 after capex of $287mn and $816mn net investment in Fintech funding, most of which was directed to growing our credit portfolio. We also discounted fewer receivables in Brazil, as we used lower-cost funding alternatives. In July, S&P recognized the strength of our business and finances by upgrading Mercado Libre to investment grade with a rating of BBB-. This milestone reflects the importance we place on maintaining a strong balance sheet to support our long- term growth ambitions. It comes after last year's upgrade to investment grade at Fitch. Looking ahead In May, we announced that our Founder and CEO, Marcos Galperin, would transition to the role of Executive Chairman as of January 1, 2026. Ariel Szarfsztejn, President of Commerce, will take on the role of CEO. Investors can learn more about the transition in the latest episode of our IR podcast and in Marcos' Open Letter to Employees, both available on our Investor Relations website. This is a significant moment in our 26-year history, but also a moment marked by continuity. Continuity in our mission to democratize commerce and financial services in Latin America, continuity in our long-term strategy of sustainable growth, and continuity in our culture of entrepreneurship, innovation, ambition and excellence. Above all, continuity in our belief that the best is yet to come. MercadoLibre Letter to Shareholders 4 Q2'25 Results

The following table summarizes certain key performance metrics for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024: (1) Figures have been calculated using rounded amounts. Growth calculations based on this table may not total due to rounding. As of December 31, 2024, we decided no longer disclose the key performance indicator "Number of items shipped". Management believes that "Number of items shipped", as a complementary disclosure to "items sold", no longer provides useful information to investors to better understand our business. Following years of investment, our logistics network now ships 95% of items sold. As such, the two performance metrics, "Number of items sold" and "Number of items shipped", have converged so we no longer see a benefit for investors in disclosing both.

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, net, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), net debt, foreign exchange ("FX") neutral measures and Adjusted free cash flow and Net increase (decrease) in available cash, investments and digital assets 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, net and income tax expense. 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. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 2024 (In millions) Net income $523 $531 Adjustments: Depreciation and amortization 199 154 Interest income and other financial gains (44) (39) Interest expense and other financial losses 36 39 Foreign currency losses, net 117 58 Income tax expense 193 137 Adjusted EBITDA $1,024 $880 MercadoLibre Letter to Shareholders 13 Q2'25 Results

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 (excluding cash and cash equivalents restricted due to management restriction policies) and digital assets, short-term investments and long-term investments, excluding time deposits and foreign government debt securities restricted and 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: June 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 (In millions) Current Loans payable and other financial liabilities $3,818 $2,828 Non-current Loans payable and other financial liabilities 3,484 2,887 Current Operating lease liabilities 344 241 Non-current Operating lease liabilities 1,333 894 Total debt 8,979 6,850 Less: Cash and cash equivalents and digital assets (1) 2,880 2,428 Short-term investments (2) 965 1,051 Long-term investments (3) 1,304 1,124 Net debt $3,830 $2,247 (1) Includes cash and cash equivalents (excluding cash and cash equivalents restricted due to management restriction policies) and digital assets. Figures as of December 31, 2024 were recast for consistency with the current presentation due to the changes explained in "Adjusted free cash flow". (2) Excludes time deposits and foreign government debt securities restricted and held in guarantee.

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 2024 and applying them to the corresponding months in 2025, 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 three-month period ended June 30, 2025: Three Months Ended June 30, As reported Percentage Change FX Neutral Measures As reported Percentage Change (Unaudited) 2025 2024 2025 2024 (In millions, except percentages) (In millions, except percentages) Net revenues and financial income $6,790 $5,073 33.8 % $7,745 $5,073 52.7 % Cost of net revenues and financial expenses (3,696) (2,708) 36.5 % (4,148) (2,708) 53.2 % Gross profit 3,094 2,365 30.8 % 3,597 2,365 52.1 % Operating expenses (2,269) (1,639) 38.4 % (2,550) (1,639) 55.6 % Income from operations $825 $726 13.6 % $1,047 $726 44.2 % MercadoLibre Letter to Shareholders 15 Q2'25 Results

Adjusted free cash flow and Net increase (decrease) in available cash, investments and digital assets Adjusted free cash flow Adjusted free cash flow represents cash from operating activities less the increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents and investments related to customer funds due to regulatory requirements and other restrictions and equity securities held at cost, investments in property and equipment and intangible assets, changes in loans receivable, net and net proceeds from/payments on loans payable and other financial liabilities related to our Fintech solutions, since we consider those liabilities as the working capital of the Fintech activities. As of June 30, 2025 we have also included increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents and investments restricted due to management restriction policies and digital assets as an adjustment in the calculation of our adjusted free cash flow. We consider adjusted free cash flow to be a measure of liquidity generation that provides useful information to management and investors since it shows how much cash the Company generates with its core activities that can be used for discretionary purposes and to repay its corporate and/or commerce debt. A limitation of the utility of adjusted free cash flow as a measure of liquidity generation is that it is a partial representation of the total increase or decrease in our available cash, investments and digital assets balance for the period. Therefore, we believe it is important to view the adjusted free cash flow measure only as a complement to our entire consolidated statements of cash flows. Net increase (decrease) in available cash, investments and digital assets Net increase (decrease) in available cash, investments and digital assets (effective June 30, 2025, our available funds include digital asset holdings) represents adjusted free cash flow less net proceeds from/payments on loans payable and other financial liabilities, related to our Commerce and corporate activities, payments of finance lease obligations, other investing and/or financing activities not considered above and the effect of exchange rates changes on available cash and investments. We consider Net increase (decrease) in available cash, investments and digital assets to be a measure of liquidity availability that provides useful information to management and investors after netting out all other debt and corporate payments and activities from the adjusted free cash flow.
