Overview

Coupang is a technology and Fortune 200 company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: CPNG) that provides retail, restaurant delivery, video streaming, and fintech services to customers around the world under brands that include Coupang, Coupang Eats, Coupang Play and Farfetch. Headquartered in the United States, Coupang has operations and support services in geographies including South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, China, India and Europe. Coupang’s mission is to revolutionize the everyday lives of its customers and create a world where people wonder, “How did I ever live without Coupang?”

We believe that we are a preeminent retail destination because of our broad selection, low prices, and exceptional delivery and customer experience across our owned inventory selection as well as products offered by third-party merchants, in Korea. Our unique end-to-end integrated fulfillment, logistics, and technology network enables Rocket Delivery, which provides free, next-day delivery for orders placed anytime of the day, even seconds before midnight—across millions of products in Korea. Our structural advantages from complete end-to-end integration, investments in technology, and scale economies generate higher efficiencies that allow us to pass savings to customers in the form of lower prices. The capabilities we have built provide us with opportunities to expand into other offerings and geographies.

In January 2024 we acquired the business and assets of Farfetch Holdings plc (“Farfetch”), a leading global marketplace for the luxury fashion industry. See Note 16 — "Business Combinations - Farfetch" to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. During 2024, we have undertaken restructuring actions to reduce headcount, exit leases and licensing agreements. In February 2025, we entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release with Authentic Brands Group LLC related to a license agreement.

Fulfillment Center Fire

In June 2021, a fire extensively damaged our Deokpyeong fulfillment center (“FC Fire”) resulting in a loss of the inventory, building, equipment, and other assets at the site. We are insured on property losses from the FC Fire, and while the insurer continues assessment of the total potential loss coverage on the claim, during the fourth quarter of 2024 we agreed to a settlement on a portion of the claim and now deem the recovery of insurance proceeds under the policy as probable. We recognized an insurance gain of $175 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, which included $116 million for the inventory loss included in “Cost of sales” and $59 million for property and equipment losses, included in “Operating, general and administrative”. We received provisional payments of $138 million in prior years, which were previously deferred within “Other current liabilities”, and received a further payment of $40 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Whether and to what extent additional insurance recoveries will be received is currently unknown.

Segment Information

Our segments reflect the way we evaluate our business performance and manage operations. See Note 3 — "Segment Reporting" to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
