Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Coupang, Inc. (“Coupang” or the “Company”) together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

The unaudited interim financial information reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair statement of the results of the interim period. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Farfetch Acquisition

In January 2024, we acquired the business and assets of Farfetch Holdings plc (“Farfetch”), a leading global marketplace for the luxury fashion industry (the “Farfetch Acquisition”). Refer to Note 11 — "Business Combination - Farfetch" for additional information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Yet To Be Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The standard requires disclosure of specific categories of an entity’s income tax expenses and income taxes paid among other disclosures. Early adoption is allowed under the standard. The ASU is effective for our 2025 annual period and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are evaluating the effect of adopting the ASU on our financial statement disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)”, which requires public entities to disaggregate significant expense categories within functional line items to enhance transparency and comparability in financial reporting. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which clarifies the effective date and provides additional implementation guidance for ASU 2024-03 to ensure consistent application. Both standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027, and interim reporting periods beginning with the period ending March 31, 2028, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect of adopting these standards on our financial reporting and disclosures.
