The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer. We have two operating and reportable segments: Product Commerce and Developing Offerings. These segments are based on how the CODM manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance.
Product Commerce primarily includes core Korean retail (owned inventory) and marketplace offerings (third-party merchants) and Rocket Fresh, our fresh grocery category offering, as well as advertising products associated with these offerings. Revenues from Product

Revenues from Developing Offerings are primarily generated from our luxury fashion marketplace through Farfetch, our online restaurant ordering and delivery services provided on our mobile applicationsin Korea and websites.retail operations in Taiwan.
Our segment operating performance measure is segment adjusted EBITDA. Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before income taxes for a period before depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation expense, interest expense, interest income, and other income (expense), net. Segment adjusted EBITDA also excludes impairments and other items that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operations.
We generally allocate operating expenses to the respective segments based on usage. The CODM does not evaluate segments using asset information and, accordingly, we do not report asset information by segment.
Results of operations for the reportable segments and reconciliation to income (loss) before income taxes is as follows:

6.5.    Income Taxes
Our tax provision or benefit, from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment. No income tax benefit was accrued for jurisdictions where we anticipate incurring a loss during the full fiscal year as the related deferred tax assets were fully offset by a valuation allowance. Our resulting effective tax rate differs from the applicable statutory rate, primarily due to the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, tax credits, the inclusion of the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) provisions, the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in loss making jurisdictions, and other permanent differences.
GivenOur effective tax rate was 140.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 26.6% for the prior year period. The increase in our currenteffective tax rate is primarily due to the loss before income taxes incurred by Farfetch, with no offsetting tax benefit, and anticipated future income, we believe that there is a reasonable possibility that sufficient positive evidence may become available in future periods to allow us to reach a conclusion thatthe prospective impact of releasing the valuation allowances will no longer be needed, which would result in the recognition of materialallowance on our Korean deferred tax assets and a corresponding decrease to income tax expense. The exact timing and amountin the fourth quarter of any valuation allowances being released are subject to change on the basis of the level of sustained income that we are able to achieve, foreign currency fluctuations, and macroeconomic conditions, among various other factors.2023.
7.    Net Income (Loss)6.    Earnings per Share
We computeBasic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss)attributable to Coupang stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share usingis computed by dividing net income attributable to Coupang stockholders by the two-class method required for multipleweighted-average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period.
We have two classes of common stock and participating securities. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings or loss are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class ofoutstanding, Class A common stock and the resulting basicClass B common stock (collectively “common stock”), with equal rights to dividends and diluted net income (loss)income. Earnings per share attributable to commonCoupang stockholders are therefore the same for Class A and Class B common stock, both on both an individual and a combined basis. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock and potentially dilutive Class A and Class B potential common shares outstanding during the period.

7.    Fair Value Measurement
Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP established a hierarchy framework to classify the fair value measurement into one of the three levels based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement.

9.    Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt
Our short-term borrowings generally include linesRevolving Credit Facility
In January 2024, our senior unsecured credit facility (“the Revolving Credit Facility”) was amended to extend the maturity date to February 2026 and to bring the aggregate principal amount to $875 million. The Revolving Credit Facility continues to provide us the right to request incremental commitments up to $1.25 billion, subject to customary conditions.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including certain financial covenants. The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all our material restricted subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions.
Farfetch Term Loan
As part of creditthe Farfetch Acquisition, our subsidiary assumed the then outstanding syndicated Term Loans (“Farfetch Term Loans”) under Farfetch’s existing Credit Agreement with certain banks and term loan facilities with financial institutions to be utilized for general operating purposes.
In April 2023,of $575 million, inclusive of fees incurred and less $58 million we entered into a new one-year $61 million credit loan facility for general operating purposes.repurchased upon acquisition. Repayment of the Farfetch Term Loans is due in quarterly installments, of 0.25%, payable on the last business day of each fiscal quarter. The loan bears interest at the average of 91-day CD interest rate plus 4.40%.
Our long-term debt generally includes revolving credit facilitiesFarfetch Term Loans mature in October 2027, and various loan agreements for general operating purposes, and term loan facilities. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were $904 million and $667 million, respectively, of loans outstanding under these agreements, net of unamortized discounts.
In April 2023, we entered into a new three-year $175 million term loan facility agreement to finance the purchase of a fulfillment center and land. We pledged up to $209 million of certain land and buildings as collateral.early payment is permitted. The loan bearsTerm Loans bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.76%.
Our 2021 revolving credit facility was amended in accordance with the agreement to provide for the replacement of the London Inter-bank offered rate (“LIBOR”) with an alternative benchmark rate. Effective July 1, 2023, the facility replaced the LIBOR rate with the Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”). Borrowings under the 2021 revolving credit facility will bear interest, at our option, at a rate per annum equal to (i) a base rate equal to the highestSOFR plus 6.25% per annum. As of (A) the prime rate, (B) the higherMarch 31, 2024, $574 million was outstanding.
The Farfetch Term Loans contain customary affirmative covenants as well as customary negative covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on certain entities within Farfetch’s ability to incur additional debt, make investments, make distributions, dispose of assets, or enter into certain types of related party transactions. The loans are secured against specified assets of the federal funds rate or a composite overnight bank borrowing rate plus 0.50%, or (C) an adjusted Term SOFR rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00% or (ii) an adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin equal to 1.00%. No borrowings have been made under the facility.Farfetch group and guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of Farfetch.
Our debt is recorded at amortized cost. The fair value is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on our current interest rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying amount of debt approximates its fair value as of June 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 20222023 due primarily to the interest rates approximating market interest rates.
We were in compliance with the covenants for each of our borrowings and debt agreements as of June 30, 2023.March 31, 2024.
11.10.    Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
Unconditional purchase obligations include legally binding contracts with terms in excess of one year that are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. These contractual commitments primarily relate to technology related service contracts, fulfillment center construction contracts and software licenses. For contracts with variable terms, we do not estimate the total obligation beyond any minimum pricing as of the reporting date. As part of the acquisition of Farfetch, we have a technology related service contract with minimum future payments of $170 million covering services through 2027, and a license arrangement with minimum guarantees of approximately $290 million which are to be paid over 9 years related to a liability contract assumed with a fair value of $140 million at the acquisition date.
Legal Matters
From time to time, we may become party to claims, investigations, proceedings,litigation incidents and other litigation,legal proceedings, including regulatory proceedings, in the ordinary course of business. We assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes with respect to these matters and determines loss contingency assessments on a gross basis after assessing the probability of incurrence of a loss and whether a loss is reasonably estimable. In addition, we consider other relevant factors that could impact our ability to reasonably estimate a loss. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is made after analyzing each matter. Our reserves may change in the future due to new developments or changes in strategy in handling these matters. Although the results of these matterslitigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe that the final outcome of currently pending legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

The action Choi v. Coupang, Inc et al was brought against Coupang, Inc., and certain of its former and current directors, current officers, and certain underwriters of the offering. The action was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging inaccurate and misleading or omitted statements of material fact in Coupang's Registration Statement in violation of Sections 11, 12, and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The action was amended on May 22, 2023, and added allegations of securities fraud under Sections 10 and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The action seeks unspecified compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees, and reasonable costs and expenses. Between August and December 2023, three separate stockholders’ derivative actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of Coupang’s former and current directors and current officers. Coupang was named as a nominal defendant in the actions. These derivative actions purport to assert claims on behalf of Coupang and make substantially similar factual allegations to Choi v. Coupang, Inc. et al, bringing claims for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and violations of securities laws. The actions seek compensatory damages, governance reforms, and other relief. We believe all the action isaforementioned actions are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against it.the aforementioned actions. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time. Accordingly, we can provide no assurance as to the scope and outcome of this matter and no assurance as to whether our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows will not be materially adversely affected.
Korean Fair Trade Commission Investigations
On June 28, 2021, the Korean Fair Trade Commission (“KFTC”) initiated an investigation into a potential violation of the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act, (the “Fair Trade Act”), including alleged preferential treatments of private labelled products provided by our subsidiary, Coupang Private Label Business (“CPLB”).Business. The KFTC is also investigating us on other matters related to the alleged violations of thecertain KFTC regulations. We are diligently cooperating with these investigations, and actively defending our practices as appropriate.
Under Korean law, the issues addressed in the investigations can be resolved through civil, administrative, or criminal proceedings. The ultimate case resolution could include fines, orders to alter our processes or procedures, and criminal investigations or charges against individuals or us. We cannot reasonably estimate any penalties, loss or range of loss that may arise from the various KFTC Investigations. Accordingly, we can provide no assurance as to the scope and outcome of these matters and no assurance as to whether our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows will not be materially adversely affected.
11.    Business Combinations – Farfetch
Farfetch Acquisition
On January 30, 2024 we completed the acquisition of Farfetch. We believe the acquisition will allow us to expand into luxury retail. We have accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. Total purchase consideration consisted of amounts previously funded to Farfetch under a loan prior to acquisition (the “Bridge Loan”) and required partial repayment of the Farfetch Term Loans at the close of the transaction.

We believe these metrics provide a better presentation of our more mature retail operations and predominant customer base as they exclude revenue and customer data specific only to our more nascent Developing Offerings.

Product Commerce Active Customers
As of the last date of each 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 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 Product Commerce 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 Product Commerce Active Customers as a key indicator of our potential for growth in totalour net revenues,revenue, the reach of our network, the awareness of our brand, and the engagement of our customers.
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

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
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 MeasureDefinitionHow We Use The Measure
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.
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, acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs, 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.

Total Net Revenues
We categorize our total net revenues as (1) net retail sales and (2) net other revenue. Total net revenues incorporate reductions for estimated returns, promotional discounts, and earned loyalty rewards and exclude amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as value added taxes. We periodically provide customers with promotional discounts to retail prices, such as percentage discounts and other similar offers, to incentivize increased customer spending and loyalty. These promotional discounts are discretionary and are reflected as reductions to the selling price and revenue recognized on each corresponding transaction. Loyalty rewards are offered as part of revenue transactions to all retail customers in Korea, whereby rewards are earned as a percentage of each purchase, for the customer to apply towards the purchase price of a future transaction. We defer a portion of revenue from each originating transaction, based on the estimated standalone selling price of the loyalty reward earned, and then recognize the revenue as the loyalty reward is redeemed in a future transaction, or when they expire. The amount of the deferred revenue related to these loyalty rewards is not material.

Net retail sales represent the majority of our total net revenues which we earn from online product sales of our owned inventory to customers. Net other revenue includes revenue from commissions earned from merchants that sell their products through our apps or websites. We are not the merchant of record in these transactions, nor do we take possession of the related inventory.

We also earn subscription revenue from memberships to our Rocket WOW membership program, which is also included in net other revenue.
Fulfillment and Logistics by Coupang (“FLC”)
FLC is a Product Commerce offering that enables participating merchants to leverage our end-to-end integrated logistics and fulfillment network. The previous contract terms with FLC merchants resulted in the transfer of control of the merchants’ products to us and Coupang is the seller of record in these transactions, whereby revenue is recorded on a gross basis (principal). InBeginning in the second quarter of 2023, we changed the FLC program and related contracts with merchants, streamlining the overall process for merchants and us. As a result of these changes, control of these products is no longer transferred to the Company prior to sales. The change impacted how we recognize a portion of our revenue, from a gross basis (principal) to a net basis (agent). As of the end of the second quarter of 2023, the previous contract terms had expired.expired, after which commissions and logistics and fulfillment fees earned from FLC merchants under the new contracts are recorded in net other revenue. This will continue to result in a prospective reduction in total net revenues associated with FLC compared to historical periods, with no significant corresponding impact on gross profit expected.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales primarily consists of the purchase price of products sold directly to customers where we record revenue gross, and includes logistics costs. Inbound shipping and handling costs to receive products from suppliers are included in inventory and recognized in cost of sales as products are sold. Additionally, cost of sales includes outbound shipping and logistics related expenses, delivery costs from our restaurant delivery business, and depreciation and amortization expense.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue also benefited from the enhanced FLC program.inclusion of Farfetch, which operates with a higher gross profit margin and generated gross profit of $122 million. These benefits were partially offset by the impacts from our other growth initiatives in developing offerings, such as Taiwan and Eats.
Operating, General and Administrative Expenses
Operating, general and administrative expenses include all our operating costs excluding cost of sales, as described above. More specifically, these expenses include costs incurred in operating and staffing our fulfillment centers (including costs attributed to receiving, inspecting, picking, packaging, and preparing customer orders), customer service-related costs, payment processing fees, costs related to the design, execution, and maintenance of our technology infrastructure and online offerings, advertising costs, general corporate function costs, and depreciation and amortization expense.

Interest Income
Interest income primarily consists of interest earned on our deposits held with financial institutions.
Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023March 31, 2024 increased $34$23 million and $63 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increase in interest income wasperiod, primarily due to higher interest rates in 2023 combined with our higher average cash balances.
Income Tax Expense
We are subject to income taxes predominantly in Korea, as well as in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions in which we do business. Foreign jurisdictions have different statutory tax rates than those in the United States. Additionally, certain of our foreign earnings may also be taxable in the United States. Accordingly, our effective tax rate is subject to significant variation and

can vary based on the amount of pre-tax income or loss.loss, the relative proportion of foreign to domestic income, use of tax credits and changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. Beginning in 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, as currently enacted, requires taxpayers to capitalize research and development expenses with amortization periods over five and fifteen years, which has and is expected to continue to increase the amount of our global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) inclusion.

Our effective income tax rate was 140.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 15.2% and 20.0%, respectively,March 31, 2024, compared with (0.5%) and (0.2%)to 26.6% for the prior year periods.period. The increase for the periods reflects the strong operating results and taxable income for the current and projected period in 2023, compared to the prior periods that generated minimal taxable income. Ourour effective tax rate differsis primarily due to the loss before income taxes incurred by Farfetch with no offsetting tax benefit, which added approximately 97% to the effective tax rate, and the impact of releasing the valuation allowance on our Korean deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Our effective rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 differed from the federal statutory rate due to the impact of valuation allowances net operating losseson our deferred tax assets, and tax credits used for the periods, partially offset byperiod, and the mix of our income (loss) before income taxes generated across the various jurisdictions in which we operate, including the impact of international provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and permanent differences from non-deductible expenses. We expect that our effective tax rate in future periods will continue to differ significantly from the applicable statutory rate.
Segment adjusted EBITDA
The operating performance measure of each segment is segment adjusted EBITDA. Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before income taxes for a period before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, income tax expense (benefit), other income (expense), net, equity-based compensation, impairments, and other items that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operations associated with our segments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to access sufficient cash flows to meet the short-term and long-term cash requirements of our business operations. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, supplemented through various debt financing arrangements and sales of our equity securities. We had total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $4.7$5.6 billion as of June 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, of which $3.0$4.2 billion was held by our foreign subsidiaries, primarily in Korea, and may not be freely transferable to the U.SU.S. due to local laws or other restrictions. Additionally, we have $1.1approximately $1.0 billion available under our 2022 and 2021 revolving credit facilities as described below.
The ability of certain subsidiaries to transfer funds or pay dividends to Coupang, Inc. is also restricted due to terms which require the subsidiaries to meet certain financial covenants, including requirements to maintain a positive net equity balance or having current period income.
As of June 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, we had stockholders’ equity of $2.8$4.1 billion and $2.4$4.1 billion, respectively. We may incur losses in the future. We expect that our investment into our growth strategy will continue to be significant, particularly with respect to our Developing Offerings segment, which will continue to focus on our newer offerings and entrance into new geographies, as well as overall expansion of our fulfillment, logistics, and technology capabilities. As part of this expansion to fulfill anticipated future customer demand and continuation to expand services, we plan to build new fulfillment centers. We have entered into various new construction contracts for capital projects which are expected to be completed over the next threetwo years. These contracts have remaining capital expenditures commitments of $160$104 million as of June 30, 2023.March 31, 2024. We expect that our future expenditures for both infrastructure and workforce-related costs will exceed several billion dollars over the next several years.

Additionally, benefiting the improvement in cash used inCash provided by operating activities werewas also impacted by the changes in operating assets and liabilities, including $155$115 million from other assets primarily as a result of a reduction in advances made to certain large, multi-national suppliers, a decrease in inventories of $203and $193 million primarily from the implementation of the new FLC program combined with improved inventory management, and an increase in accounts payable of $388 million primarily as a result of improved payment terms, primarily with certain large, multi-national suppliers partially offset by a reductionwhich occurred in payables from the FLC changes.2023.
Investing Activities
The increase in cash outflow was mainly driven by an additional $75 million bridge loan made to Farfetch prior to the closing of the acquisition and a $52$12 million increase in purchases of property and equipment, primarily related to investments madeequipment. This was partially offset by the net cash acquired in the current yearacquisition of Farfetch in our fulfillment and logistics infrastructure, including purchasesexchange for the noncash contribution of buildings, land and equipment.the outstanding bridge loan.
Financing Activities
The increasedecrease in cash inflow was primarily driven by a $296an $18 million decrease in proceeds from debt and short-term borrowing and a $16 million increase in repayments of debt and short-term borrowings due to the timing of maturities, partially offset by a $84 million decrease in proceeds from debt and short-term borrowings.maturities.
We believe that our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we may need additional cash resources in the future if we find and pursue opportunities for investment, acquisition, strategic cooperation, or other similar actions, which may include investing in technology, our logistics and fulfillment infrastructure, or related talent. If we determine that our cash requirements exceed our amounts of cash on hand or if we decide to further optimize our capital structure, we may seek to issue additional debt or equity securities or obtain credit facilities or other sources of financing. This financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.
Capital Resources
We have entered into material unconditional purchase obligations. These contractual commitments primarily relate to technology related service contracts, fulfillment center construction contracts and software licenses. We generally enter into term loan facility agreements to finance the acquisition of property or construction of our fulfillment centers. These agreements may require that we provide for collateral equal to or greater than the amount borrowed under the arrangement. As we continue to build additional fulfillment centers, we expect our borrowings under debt financing arrangements to continue to increase.
Refer to Note 13 — "Commitments and Contingencies" of our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our 20222023 Form 10-K for disclosure of our minimum contractual commitments. As part of the acquisition of Farfetch, we have a technology related service contract with minimum remaining payments of $170 million covering services through 2027, and a license arrangement with minimum guarantees of approximately $290 million which are to be paid over 9 years.
Our short-term and long-term borrowings generally include lines of credit with financial institutions available to be drawn upon for general operating purposes.
Revolving Credit Agreement
We have a two-year revolving facilitycredit agreement (the “2022 revolving credit facility”“Revolving Credit Agreement”) with a borrowing limit of $122$119 million that bears interest at the average of 91-days CD interest rate plus 2.30%.

Farfetch Acquisition
On January 31, 2024, we completed the acquisition of the business and assets of Farfetch, a leading global marketplace for the luxury fashion industry. In advance of the acquisition, our subsidiary provided $150 million to Farfetch under a bridge loan which was contributed towards the Farfetch Acquisition.
As part of the Farfetch Acquisition, a subsidiary of the Company assumed the then outstanding syndicated Term Loans under Farfetch’s existing Credit Agreement with certain banks and financial institutions of $575 million, inclusive of fees incurred and less $58 million we repurchased upon acquisition. The Farfetch Term Loans is due in quarterly installments, of 0.25%, payable on the last business day of each fiscal quarter. The Farfetch Term Loans mature in October 2027, and early repayment is permitted. The Term Loans bear interest at a rate equal to SOFR plus 6.25% per annum.
The Term Loans contain customary affirmative covenants as well as customary negative covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on certain entities within Farfetch’s ability to incur additional debt, make investments, make distributions, dispose of assets, or enter into certain types of related party transactions. The loans are secured against specified assets of the Farfetch group and guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of Farfetch.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In addition to the risks inherent in our operations, we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency, and credit.
Interest Rate Risk
As of June 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $4.7$5.6 billion. Interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. Our interest rate risk arises primarily from our variable rate debt as well as our undrawn revolving credit facilities. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose us to variability in cash flows. We are a party to interest rate swap agreements to reduce some of our exposure to interest rate volatility of certain term loans. Our policy, in the management of interest rate risk, is to structure a reasonable balance between fixed and floating rate financial instruments as well as our cash and cash equivalents and any short-term investments we may hold. The balance struck by our management is dependent on prevailing interest rate markets at any point in time.
Our borrowings generally include lines of credit with financial institutions, some of which carry variable interest rates. As of June 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, there was no balances outstanding on our revolving credit facilities. Any future borrowings incurred under the 2021 and 2022 revolving credit facilities would accrue interest at rates subject to current market conditions.
Foreign Currency Risk
We have accounts on our foreign subsidiaries’ ledgers, which are maintained in the respective subsidiary’s local currency and translated into USD for reporting of our consolidated financial statements. As a result, we are exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rates of various currencies against the USD and other currencies, including the KRW.
Transactional
We generate the majority of our revenue from customers within Korea. Typically, we aim to align costs with revenue denominated in the same currency, but we are not always able to do so. As a result of the geographic spread of our operations and due to our reliance on certain products and services priced in currencies other than KRW, our business, results of operations, and financial condition have been and will continue to be impacted by the volatility of the KRW against foreign currencies.
Translational
Coupang, Inc.’s functional currency and reporting currency is the USD. The local and functional currency for our Korean subsidiary, Coupang Corp., which is our primary operating subsidiary, is the KRW. The other subsidiaries predominantly utilize their local currencies as their functional currencies. Assets and liabilities of each subsidiary are translated into USD at the exchange rate in effect at the end of each period. Revenue and expenses for these subsidiaries are translated into USD using average rates that approximate those in effect during the period. Consequently, increases or decreases in the value of the USD affect the value of these items with respect to the non-USD-denominated businesses in the consolidated financial statements, even if their value has not changed in their original currency. For example, a stronger USD will reduce the reported results of operations of non-USD-denominated businesses and conversely a weaker USD will increase the reported results of operations of non-USD-denominated businesses. An assumed hypothetical 10% adverse change in average exchange rates used to translate foreign currencies to USD would have resulted in a decline in total net revenues of approximately $533$635 million and $1.0 billion and an immaterial impact in net income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, respectively.
At this time, we do not, but we may in the future, enter into derivatives or other financial instruments in an attempt to hedge our foreign currency risk. It is difficult to predict the impact hedging activities would have on our results of operations.
Credit Risk
Our cash and cash equivalents, deposits, and loans with banks and financial institutions are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. We place cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. The degree of credit risk will vary based on many factors, including the duration of the transaction and the contractual terms of the agreement. As appropriate, management evaluates and approves credit standards and oversees the credit risk management function related to investments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rulesrules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Actsecurities exchange act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) were evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), to assess whether they are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Based on this evaluation, and subject to the below exclusion, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of June 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
In accordance with the interpretative guidance issued by SEC staff, companies are allowed to exclude acquired businesses from the assessment of internal control over financial reporting during the first year after completion of an acquisition and the disclosure controls and procedures of the acquired entity that are subsumed in the internal control over financial reporting from the assessment of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this guidance, our assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024 excluded the portion of disclosure controls and procedures that are subsumed by internal control over financial reporting of Farfetch. The Company completed the acquisition of Farfetch on January 30, 2024. Farfetch’s total assets, excluding the effects of purchase accounting, represented 10% and 4% of the Company’s consolidated total assets and consolidated total revenues, respectively, as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting of Farfetch
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Farfetch disclosed the existence of material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in Item 15 of its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The unremediated material weakness identified and disclosed by Farfetch related to the operating effectiveness of certain business process and information technology controls in the New Guards business. We are in the process of reviewing the operations of Farfetch and implementing Coupang’s internal control structure over the acquired operations. While we did not include Farfetch in our assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024, we determined the material weakness previously disclosed by Farfetch was not fully remediated as of March 31, 2024 and could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We are actively engaged in the remediation efforts.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
ThereOther than the changes relating to the acquisition and material weakness in internal control over financial reporting disclosed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
