MercadoLibre, Overweight, ($15.69)
We are maintaining our Overweight rating on MercadoLibre, as we believe the
company remains well-positioned to take advantage of the growth of online
commerce in South America. Our 12-month price target is $24.
• We are modeling nearly flat Y/Y dollar-denominated GMV growth through
3Q’09. Although we see continued local-currency growth through the coming
year, MercadoLibre faces a low-double-digit headwind from foreign exchange, as
a result of which we think dollar-denominated GMV could stay roughly flat
through the first three quarters even as the volume of trade in each of the
countries increases. We are modeling a return to dollar-denominated growth once
the FX impact is anniversaried in. We thus estimate 51% GMV growth in 4Q’09,
helped also by our expectation of easy comps from 4Q’08 and in line with GMV
growth in 2Q’08 and 3Q’08.
• MercadoPago 3.0 rollout to continue, helping drive 29% projected Y/Y
Payments revenue growth. We expect the seller-pays payment paradigm will
expand to additional geographies in the first half of F’09, to at least one of Brazil,
Venezuela, or Mexico.
• Ads and classifieds growth may slow, but remains a longer-term catalyst.
Although we think near-term ad revenue growth could slow, we think these non-
GMV related, higher-margin revenue streams can be a contributor for margin
expansion in the medium to long term. We are modeling F’10 EBITDA margin of
31.4%, up from 28.9% in F’08E.
• 2009 drivers. In our view, the following factors will drive shares in 2009: (1)
continuing strong Latin America eCommerce growth in local-currency terms, (2)
contagion from a US recession as well as the impact of further currency
fluctuations, (3) the impact of higher interest rates on financing and deferred-
payment plans from MercadoPago and (4) the pace and execution of further
MercadoPago rollouts.
• Maintaining 4Q’08 and F’09 estimates. We are maintaining our revenue,
EBITDA and EPS estimates for 4Q’08 and F’09. We are slightly reducing our
F’10 estimates, as we believe the economic challenges could continue for
somewhat longer than we had previously expected. Our new estimates are
summarized in the table below:

Our Estimates and Outlook for 2009
Our F’09 estimates call for Y/Y revenue, EBITDA and EPS growth of 19%, 27%
and 16%, as we expect a tough macro environment as well as double-digit FX
headwinds to result in a deceleration of growth. We are modeling revenue of $164M,
EBITDA of $50.5M and EPS of $0.54.
We expect GMV to grow 12% in F’09, and we think that take rate growth will slow
due to the tough environment, with the Marketplaces take rate rising to 5.6% from
5.4% in F’08E. On the MercadoPago side, we expect TPV growth to decelerate to
24% and revenue growth of 29%.
Our Estimates and Outlook for 2010
We think dollar growth rates are likely to rebound in F’10 once the FX headwind is
anniversaried in. We are modeling a 24% increase in GMV and a 31% rise in TPV.
We think the company will be able to benefit from a re-acceleration of its advertising
and classified businesses, resulting in an F’10 take rate above 6% for the first time, at
6.1%.
We are modeling F’10 revenue of $219M, from $227M previously; EBITDA of
$68.7M, from $72.0M; and EPS of $0.75, from $0.83.

We Are Introducing a Price Target of $24
In introducing price targets for our coverage, we have derived multiples based on 5-
year forward EBIT CAGRs. We believe the historical record does not provide a
meaningful guide to valuation as (a) the majority of the companies in our coverage
did not have a track record as public companies through the previous recession and
(b) even the public companies were still in their early-growth (and, for some, rapid
growth) stage during the last economic downturn.
As such, given our projection for MercadoLibre of a ~24% F’09 - F’14 EBIT CAGR,
and our view of the beginning of a possible economic turnaround in 2H’09, we
believe the stock can achieve a 24x EV/EBIT multiple to our F’09 EBIT estimate
(reflecting better forward visibility than the current valuation of 15x our F’09
estimate) and thus arrive at our December 2009 price target of $24.
The parameters of our EV/EBIT multiple analysis are in the table below:
Table 138: Key Valuation Assumptions
5 yr forward EBIT CAGR 24%
1x EBIT Growth 24
2009 EBIT $ 43
Implied Enterprise Value $ 1,037
+ Cash $ 34
- Debt 0
Market Value $ 1,071
Share count 44
2009 Price Target $ 24

Our EV/EBIT valuation is based on the following projections for revenue and
operating income growth

Valuation and Rating Analysis
On an EV/EBITDA basis, MELI trades at 12.5x our F’09 estimate of $50M, vs. its
peer group at 12.5x. We think the company’s fundamentals and its strong free cash
flow generation would justify a premium valuation, and rate the stock Overweight.
Risks to Our Rating
We believe there are four primary risks to our Overweight rating on Mercadolibre:
• Economic conditions: Several of MercadoLibre’s core markets have a
history of economic turmoil and financial crises. An economic slowdown,
brought on by regional or global economic weakness, or an economic
216
Global Equity Research

Imran Khan
(1-212) 622-6693
imran.t.khan@jpmorgan.com
upheaval, could negatively impact our estimates for eCommerce growth in
the region and therefore growth for MercadoLibre.
• Political environment and sovereign issues: MercadoLibre operates in
many countries with a history of political instability. Political instability
could affect customers’ confidence and therefore their willingness to
purchase goods online. In addition, governments may limit Internet or
commerce activities. We believe MercadoLibre’s close work with local
governments to monitor sales practices and the ability to track cash flows
with MercadoPago mitigates some of this risk.
• Expansion plans could stress resources: MercadoLibre has grown through
a number of acquisitions since its inception in 1999. As the company looks
to grow into new product offerings and markets, it may look to acquire other
companies or be forced to spend substantial cash to develop its own
products. Either event could stress MercadoLibre’s financial resources.
• Low cost of entry business model. Creating an online marketplace requires
little capital, since the owner does not need to stock merchandise and fulfill
orders. In addition, if Latin American e-commerce growth proves to be as
attractive as some projections estimate, it might attract the interest of larger
players, such as eBay, Google, Yahoo or Amazon, which have greater
resources available to them than MercadoLibre. However, we believe both
the first mover advantage and the marketplace scale that MercadoLibre has
achieved act as barriers to entry for even deep-pocketed competitors.
