Additional information relating to certain of our financial measures contained herein, including non-GAAP financial measures, is available in this earnings release, including under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures" below, and at our website at ir.aboutcoupang.com . Investors and others should note that we may announce material business and financial information to our investors using our investor relations website (ir.aboutcoupang.com), our filings with the SEC, webcasts, press releases, and conference calls. We use these mediums, including our investor relations website, to communicate with investors and the general public about our company, our offerings, and other issues. It is possible that the information that we make available on our investor relations website may be deemed to be material information. We therefore encourage investors and others interested in our company to review the information that we make available on our investor relations website. 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 and Constant Currency 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 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. Constant currency net revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer is the total Product Commerce net revenues generated in a period translated using the prior period exchange rate to exclude the effect of foreign exchange rate movements divided by the total number of Product Commerce Active Customers in that period. Constant currency net revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer is a key indicator to evaluate net revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer between periods as it excludes the effects of foreign currency volatility that are not indicative of customer engagement and retention. Product Commerce Active Customers A customer is anyone who has created an account on our apps or websites, identified by a unique email address. As of the last date of each quarterly 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 quarterly period. The change in Product Commerce Active Customers in a reported period captures both the inflow of new customers who have made a purchase in the period 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 financial 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. Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures In reliance on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, we have not provided the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure to our total net revenues growth, constant currency guidance and adjusted EBITDA guidance or a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures as a result of uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as stock-based compensation, income tax, and currency exchange rates. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of these reconciling items. Because these adjustments are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors that are beyond our control, we are also unable to predict their probable significance. However, 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.
