Key Business Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We review the key business and financial metrics discussed below. We use these measures to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions.
Key Business Metrics
Net Revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer and Constant Currency Net Revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer
Net revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer is the total Product Commerce net revenues generated in a period divided by the total number of Product Commerce Active Customers in that period. A key driver of growth is increasing the frequency and the level of spend of customers who are shopping on our Product Commerce apps or websites. We therefore view net revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer as a key indicator of engagement and retention of our customers and our ability to drive future revenue growth, though there may be a short-term dilutive impact when a large number of new Product Commerce Active Customers are added in a recent period.
Constant currency net revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer is the total Product Commerce net revenues generated in a period translated using the prior period exchange rate to exclude the effect of foreign exchange rate movements divided by the total number of Product Commerce Active Customers in that period. Constant currency net revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer is a key indicator to evaluate net revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer between periods as it excludes the effects of foreign currency volatility that are not indicative of customer engagement and retention.
Product Commerce Active Customers
A customer is anyone who has created an account on our apps or websites, identified by a unique email address. As of the last date of each quarterly reported period, we determine our number of Product Commerce Active Customers by counting the total number of individual customers who have ordered at least once directly from our Product Commerce apps or websites during the relevant quarterly period. The change in Product Commerce Active Customers in a reported period captures both the inflow of new customers who have made a purchase in the period as well as the outflow of existing customers who have not made a purchase in the period. We view the number of Product Commerce Active Customers as an indicator of future growth in our net revenue, the reach of our network, the awareness of our brand, and the engagement of our customers.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures.
Non-GAAP Measure
Definition
How We Use The Measure
Total Net Revenues, Constant Currency and Gross Profit, Constant Currency
- Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant.• We define total net revenues, constant currency and gross profit, constant currency as total revenue and gross profit, respectively, excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate movements, and use it to determine the total net revenues growth, constant currency and gross profit growth, constant currency on a comparative basis. • Total net revenues, constant currency and gross profit, constant currency are calculated by translating current period total net revenues and gross profit using the prior period exchange rate.
- The effect of currency exchange rates on our business is an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons. Our financial reporting currency is the U.S. dollar ("USD”) and changes in foreign exchange rates can significantly affect our reported results and consolidated trends. For example, our business generates sales predominantly in Korean Won ("KRW”), which are favorably affected as the USD weakens relative to the KRW, and unfavorably affected as the USD strengthens relative to the KRW. • We use total net revenues, constant currency and total net revenues growth, constant currency, gross profit, constant currency and gross profit growth, constant currency for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate comparisons between periods. We believe the presentation of our results on a constant currency basis in addition to U.S. GAAP results helps improve the ability to understand our performance because they exclude the effects of foreign currency volatility that are not indicative of our actual results of operations.
Total Net Revenues Growth, Constant Currency and Gross Profit Growth, Constant Currency
- Total net revenues growth, constant currency and gross profit growth, constant currency (as percentages) are calculated by determining the increase in current period revenue and gross profit, respectively, over prior period revenue and gross profit, respectively, where current period foreign currency revenue and gross profit are translated using prior period exchange rates.
Free Cash Flow
- Net cash provided by (used in) operating activitiesLess: purchases of property and equipment, Plus: proceeds from sale of property and equipment.
- Provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from our ongoing operations that, after purchases and sales of property and equipment, can be used for strategic initiatives, including investing in our business and strengthening our balance sheet, including paying down debt, repurchasing shares of our Class A common stock, and paying dividends to stockholders.
Adjusted EBITDA
- Net income (loss), excluding the effects of: - depreciation and amortization, - interest expense, - interest income,- other income (expense), net, - income tax expense (benefit),- equity-based compensation,- acquisition and restructuring-related costs, net,- impairments, and- other items not reflective of our ongoing operations, such as certain administrative fines and catastrophic occurrences.
- Provides information to management to evaluate and assess our performance and allocate internal resources. • We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are frequently used by investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies in the retail industry for period-to-period comparisons as they remove the impact of certain items that are not representative of our ongoing business, such as material non-cash items, acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs, significant costs related to certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters, catastrophic losses, and certain variable charges. Administrative fines include only certain significant regulatory fines and penalties that Coupang does not consider to be normal operating expenses related to the Company’s ongoing operations, revenue generating activities, business strategy, industry, and regulatory environment.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin
- Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total net revenues.
Adjusted Operating (Loss) Income
- Operating (loss) income excluding the impact of certain administrative fines.
- We believe adjusted operating (loss) income, adjusted net (loss) income attributable to Coupang stockholders, and adjusted diluted earnings per share provide useful supplemental information for investors to compare our current earnings results from one period to another. Adjusted operating (loss) income, adjusted net (loss) income attributable to Coupang stockholders, and adjusted diluted earnings per share are performance measures and should not be used as measures of liquidity.
Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Coupang Stockholders
- Net (loss) income attributable to Coupang stockholders excluding the impact of certain administrative fines.
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share
- Adjusted net (loss) income attributable to Coupang stockholders divided by the weighted average dilutive shares outstanding for the period.

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures
In reliance on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, we have not provided the most directly comparable forward-looking U.S. GAAP measure to our total net revenues growth, constant currency guidance and adjusted EBITDA margin guidance or a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures as a result of uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as stock-based compensation, income tax, and currency exchange rates. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of these reconciling items. Because these adjustments are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors that are beyond our control, we are also unable to predict their probable significance. However, it is important to note that these factors could be material to Coupang’s results computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain amounts may not foot due to rounding.
The following tables present the reconciliations from each U.S. GAAP measure to its corresponding non-GAAP measure for the periods noted.
