SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans, and objectives of management for future operations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “toward,” “will,” or “would,” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:
our expectations regarding our future operating and financial performance including our ability to achieve, maintain and increase long-term future profitability;
our ability to successfully execute our business and growth strategy;

the size of our addressable market segments, market share, and market trends;
our ability to compete in our industry;
our ability to maintain and improve our market position;

our ability to effectively manage the continued growth of our workforce and operations;
our anticipated investments in new products and offerings, and the effect of these investments on our results of operations;
our ability to effectively integrate acquisitions, including our acquisition of Farfetch Holdings plc (“Farfetch”), and realize the anticipated benefits of such transactions;
the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents, and investments, to meet our liquidity needs;
our ability to retain existing suppliers and merchants and to add new suppliers and merchants;

the impact of world events such as natural disasters, acts of war or geopolitical conflicts, terrorism or disease outbreaks;
the effects of global macroeconomic conditions, including, but not limited to, inflationary pressures, a general economic slowdown or recession, interest rate fluctuations, the imposition of additional or increased tariffs or other trade barriers, and changes in monetary policy;
our ability to attract, retain, and motivate skilled personnel, including key members of our senior management;
our ability to stay in compliance with laws and regulations, including tax laws, that currently apply or may become applicable to our business both in Korea and internationally and our expectations regarding various laws, regulations, and restrictions that relate to our business; and

the other factors set forth in Part 1, Item 1A, under the caption “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”)
We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q.
You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in Part 1, Item 1A, under the section titled “Risk Factors,” of our 2024 Form 10-K and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. The results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Form 10-Q.

Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information.
