Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Table of Contents
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 |
|---|---|---|
| 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 (such as the Incheon FC Fire), 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, as discussed in Note 10 — “Commitments and Contingencies”. |
| Adjusted EBITDA Margin | • Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total net revenues. | |
| Total Net Revenues, Constant Currency | • Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant.• We define total net revenues, constant currency as total revenue excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate movements and use it to determine the total net revenues growth, constant currency on a comparative basis. • Total net revenues, constant currency is calculated by translating current period total net 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 USD and changes in foreign exchange rates can significantly affect our reported results and consolidated trends. For example, our business generates sales predominantly in 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 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 | • Total net revenues growth, constant currency (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. |
