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.

The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill which is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill represents the future economic benefits we expect to achieve as a result of the acquisition, including the workforce of the acquired business as well as future operational and logistical cost efficiencies expected to be achieved. Goodwill was recorded in our Developing Offerings segment.

These pro forma results are based on estimates and assumptions, which we believe are reasonable. They are illustrative only and are not the results that would have been achieved had the acquisition actually occurred on January 1, 2023, nor are they indicative of future results. The pro forma results include adjustments related to the business combination, including amortization of acquired intangibles, stock-based compensation, lease expense, and income taxes.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
In December 2023, we established the Limited Partnership for the purpose of providing the Bridge Loan and acquiring all of the business and assets of Farfetch. The Limited Partnership was initially owned 80.1% by Coupang, Inc. and 19.9% by certain funds advised or managed by Greenoaks Capital Partners, LLC (“Greenoaks”), a related party.
On April 7, 2025, we entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Greenoaks resulting in the indirect acquisition of the Limited Partnership partner units representing all of Greenoaks’ equity interest in the Limited Partnership, and all rights and obligations associated with such limited partner units. Concurrently with the execution of the Agreement, we paid to Greenoaks consideration with a fair value of $122 million consisting of a $14 million cash payment and the issuance of 5,465,099 shares of our Class A common stock with a fair value of $108 million based on the closing market price of $19.76 per share on the acquisition date. The Limited Partnership is included in Coupang’s consolidated operating results through the acquisition date.
Mr. Neil Mehta, a member of Coupang’s Board of Directors, has served as a Managing Partner of Greenoaks since April 2012. Greenoaks and certain funds and accounts to which Greenoaks serves as the investment adviser and related persons or entities, including Mr. Mehta, have ownership interests in our Class A common stock.
In February 2025, we acquired the remaining 40% of the Palm Angels brand (“Palm Angels”) not owned by New Guards Group Holdings S.p.A. (“New Guards”), a subsidiary acquired in the Farfetch Acquisition, and subsequently sold the rights to Palm Angels, as part of our Farfetch restructuring actions.
