Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities 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, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using criteria described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025 based on the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013).
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 has been audited by Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Previously Reported Material Weakness No Longer Exists
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 Limited 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 Limited preceded the Farfetch Acquisition and related to the operating effectiveness of certain business process and information technology controls in the New Guards business. As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, in accordance with the interpretive guidance issued by the SEC staff, management excluded Farfetch from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 because it was acquired by Coupang in a purchase business combination during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. While we did not include Farfetch in our assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, we determined the material weakness previously disclosed by Farfetch Limited was not fully remediated as of December 31, 2024 and, based on our preliminary assessment, 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.
As a result of the completed business restructuring and divestiture activities related to the New Guards business, and upon further review and assessment of the impact of Farfetch on Coupang’s internal control over financial reporting, we now believe that it is not reasonably possible for the material weakness previously disclosed by Farfetch Limited to result in a material misstatement such that the combination of deficiencies previously identified is not a material weakness.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
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 December 31, 2025 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.
