Coupang Announces Results for Second Quarter 2024

Net Revenues of $7.3 billion, up 25% YoY and 30% on an FX-neutral basis

Gross Profit of $2.1 billion, up 41% YoY

Product Commerce segment adjusted EBITDA of $530 million, up $122 million YoY, with a margin of 8.2%

SEATTLE--()--Coupang, Inc. (NYSE: CPNG) today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Consolidated Highlights:

  • Net revenues were $7.3 billion, up 25% YoY on a reported basis and 30% YoY on an FX-neutral basis. Excluding Farfetch, the growth was 18% YoY on a reported basis and 23% YoY on an FX-neutral basis.
  • Excluding Farfetch, net revenues growth rate would have been an estimated 660 bps higher than the 23% FX-neutral growth rate without the accounting change in FLC revenue, which we began recording on a net basis starting in Q2 last year.
  • Gross profit increased 41% YoY to $2.1 billion. Gross profit margin was 29.3%, an improvement of 310 bps YoY. Excluding Farfetch, gross profit was $1.9 billion, growing 27% YoY, and gross profit margin was 28.3%.
  • Net loss was $105 million and net loss attributable to Coupang stockholders was $77 million, a decrease of $222 million from last year. This is primarily due to the inclusion of the operating losses incurred at Farfetch and $121 million relating to the estimated KFTC administrative fine.
  • Excluding the Farfetch loss and the administrative fine, net income attributable to Coupang stockholders was approximately $124 million.
  • Diluted EPS was negative $0.04, a decline of $0.12 over last year, primarily driven by the operating losses incurred at Farfetch and the administrative fine. Excluding the Farfetch loss and the administrative fine, diluted EPS was $0.07.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $330 million with a margin of 4.5%, down 60 bps from last year. Excluding Farfetch, adjusted EBITDA was $361 million with a margin of 5.3%.
  • Operating cash flow for the trailing twelve months was $2.2 billion, an increase of $250 million YoY.
  • Free cash flow was $1.5 billion for the trailing twelve months, an increase of $420 million YoY.

Segment Highlights:

  • Product Commerce segment net revenues was $6.4 billion, up 13% YoY on a reported basis and 18% on an FX-neutral basis. These growth rates would have been an estimated 650 and 680 bps higher, respectively, without the accounting change in FLC revenue.
  • Product Commerce Active Customers reached 21.7 million, growing 12% YoY.
  • Product Commerce segment adjusted EBITDA was $530 million, up $122 million YoY, with a margin of 8.2%, up 110 bps YoY.
  • Developing Offerings segment (including International, Coupang Eats, Play, Fintech and Farfetch) net revenues was $892 million, up 472% YoY on a reported basis and 483% on an FX-neutral basis. Excluding Farfetch, the growth was 177% YoY on a reported basis and 188% YoY on an FX-neutral basis.
  • Developing Offerings segment adjusted EBITDA was negative $200 million, which includes a negative $31 million impact from the consolidation of Farfetch.

“This quarter we continued to see deeper levels of engagement from our customers, powered by our relentless focus on providing even greater levels of selection, service, and savings for customers,” said Gaurav Anand, CFO of Coupang. “We remain focused on creating moments of WOW for our customers every day, while driving continuous improvement across our operations by leveraging our investments in infrastructure, technology, and automation.”

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

Net Revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer

Net revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer is the 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 the level of spend of customers who are shopping on our Product Commerce apps or websites. We therefore view net revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer as a key indicator of engagement and retention of our customers and our ability to drive future revenue growth, though there may be a short-term dilutive impact when a large number of new Product Commerce active customers are added in a recent period.

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 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 an indicator of future growth in our net revenue, the reach of our network, the awareness of our brand, and the engagement of our customers.

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, acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs, significant costs related to certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters, 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.

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Coupang Stockholders

• Net income attributable to Coupang Stockholders, excluding the impact of the Farfetch acquisition and the KFTC administrative fine.

• We believe adjusted net income excluding Farfetch and adjusted diluted earnings per share excluding Farfetch provides useful supplemental information for investors, in the year of an acquisition, to compare our current earnings results from one period to another. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is a performance measure and should not be used as a measure of liquidity.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

• Adjusted net income excluding the impact of the Farfetch acquisition and the KFTC administrative fine divided by the weighted average dilutive shares outstanding for the period.

Total net revenues excluding Farfetch

• Total net revenues excluding the impact of the Farfetch acquisition.

• We believe total net revenues excluding Farfetch, gross profit excluding Farfetch, adjusted EBITDA excluding Farfetch and Developing Offerings net revenues excluding Farfetch and Developing Offerings net revenues, constant currency excluding Farfetch provide useful supplemental information for investors, in the year of a significant acquisition, to compare our revenues, gross profit, adjusted EBITDA and segment revenues from one period to another exclusive of certain items that impact comparability with the prior period. These measures are performance measures and should not be used as a measure of liquidity.

Gross Profit excluding Farfetch

• Gross profit excluding the impact of the Farfetch acquisition.

Adjusted EBITDA excluding Farfetch

• Adjusted EBITDA excluding the impact of the Farfetch acquisition.

Developing Offerings net revenues excluding Farfetch

• Developing Offerings net revenues excluding the impact of the Farfetch acquisition.

Developing Offerings net revenues, constant currency excluding Farfetch

• Developing Offerings net revenues, constant currency excluding the impact of the Farfetch acquisition.

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. Certain amounts may not foot due to rounding.

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