    "We have only a single-digit share of a massive retail market," said Coupang's CFO, Gaurav Anand. "Our Active Customer growth accelerated while we continued to deliver record profitability, highlighted by 7.2% adjusted EBITDA margin in our Product Commerce segment. And over the trailing twelve months, we generated $2 billion of operating cash flow and over $1 billion of free cash flow. We are consistently expanding profitability and generating high growth because of our unmatched investment in technology and infrastructure, and an unwavering focus on wowing the customer."

    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

    Active Customers

    As of the last date of each reported period, we determine our number of Active Customers by counting the total number of individual customers who have ordered at least once directly from our apps or websites in Korea during the relevant period. A customer is anyone who has created an account on our apps or websites, identified by a unique email address. The change in Active Customers in a reported period captures both the inflow of new customers as well as the outflow of existing customers who have not made a purchase in the period. We view the number of Active Customers as a key indicator of our potential for growth in total net revenues, the reach of our network, the awareness of our brand, and the engagement of our customers.

    Total Net Revenues per Active Customer

    Total net revenues per Active Customer is the total net revenues generated in a period divided by the total number of Active Customers in that period. A key driver of growth is increasing the frequency and the level of spend of Active Customers who are shopping on our apps or websites. We therefore view total net revenues per Active Customer as a key indicator of engagement and retention of our customers and our success in increasing the share of wallet.

    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 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

    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,

    - impairments, and

    - other items not reflective of our ongoing operations.

    • 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 and certain variable charges.

    Adjusted EBITDA Margin

    • Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total net revenues.

    Constant Currency Revenue

    • Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant.

    • We define constant currency revenue as total revenue excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate movements, and use it to determine the constant currency revenue growth on a comparative basis.

    • Constant currency revenue is calculated by translating current period revenues 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 constant currency revenue and constant currency revenue growth 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.

    Constant Currency Revenue Growth

    • Constant currency revenue growth (as a percentage) is calculated by determining the increase in current period revenue over prior period revenue, where current period foreign currency revenue is translated using prior period exchange rates.

    Free Cash Flow

    • Cash flow from operations

    Less: 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, and paying dividends to stockholders.

    Segment Gross Profit

    • Gross profit for a period attributable to each respective reportable segment.

    • We believe segment gross profit and segment gross profit margin are frequently used by investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies in the retail industry for period-to-period comparisons. However, other companies may calculate segment gross profit and segment gross profit margin in a manner different from ours and therefore they may not be directly comparable to similar terms used by other companies.

    Segment Gross Profit Margin

    • Segment gross profit as a percentage of segment net revenues.

    Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures

    A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of expenses that may be incurred in the future. Although, it is important to note that these factors could be material to Coupang's results computed in accordance with GAAP.

    The following tables present the reconciliations from each U.S. GAAP measure to its corresponding non-GAAP measure for the periods noted:
