Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to access sufficient cash flows to meet the short-term and long-term cash requirements of our business operations. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, supplemented through various debt financing arrangements and sales of our equity securities. We had total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $6.4 billion as of March 31, 2026, the majority of which was held by foreign subsidiaries and may not be freely transferable to the United States due to local laws or other restrictions. Additionally, as of March 31, 2026, we had $750 million available under our Revolving Credit Facility.
The ability of certain subsidiaries to transfer funds or pay dividends to Coupang, Inc. is also restricted due to terms in our credit agreements which require the subsidiaries to meet certain financial covenants, including requirements to maintain a positive net equity balance or having current period income.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had stockholders’ equity of $3.9 billion and $4.6 billion, respectively. We may incur losses in the future. We expect that our investment into our growth strategy will continue to be significant, particularly with respect to our Developing Offerings segment, which will continue to focus on our newer offerings and entrance into new geographies, as well as overall expansion of our fulfillment, logistics, and technology capabilities. As part of this expansion to fulfill anticipated future customer demand and planned expansion of services, we plan to acquire and build new fulfillment centers. We have entered into various new construction contracts for capital projects which are expected to be completed over the next two years. These contracts have remaining capital expenditures commitments of $236 million as of March 31, 2026. We expect that our future expenditures for both infrastructure and workforce-related costs will exceed several billion dollars over the next several years.
Changes in our cash flows were as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | 2026 | 2025 | Change |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $184 | $354 | $(170) |
| Net cash used in investing activities | (302) | (213) | (89) |
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 348 | 16 | 332 |
Operating Activities
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | 2026 | 2025 | Change |
| Net (loss) income | $(266) | $114 | $(380) |
| Adjustments to reconcile net (loss) income to net cash provided by operating activities | 545 | 427 | 118 |
| Change in operating assets and liabilities | (95) | (187) | 92 |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $184 | $354 | $(170) |
The year-over-year change in operating cash flow was driven by a $380 million decrease in net income. Cash provided by operating activities was also impacted by certain working capital fluctuations in operating assets and liabilities, including a decrease in inventory of $146 million and a decrease in other assets of $70 million due to decreases in deposits and contract assets, partially offset by a decrease from accounts payable of $58 million due to the timing of inventory purchases and vendor payments.
Investing Activities
The increase in cash outflow was mainly driven by a $57 million increase in purchases of property and equipment, primarily related to investments made in our fulfillment and logistics infrastructure.
Financing Activities
The year-over-year change in financing cash flow was primarily driven by a net increase of $710 million from proceeds from debt and short-term borrowings, net of repayments. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we borrowed $750 million under the Revolving Credit Facility for general operating purposes. This was partially offset by our repurchase of 20.4 million shares of Class A common stock for an aggregate amount of $391 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
As of March 31, 2026, we had $366 million remaining under the stock repurchase program. In May 2026, our Board of Directors authorized an additional increase of up to $1 billion under the stock repurchase program.

We believe that our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we may need additional cash resources in the future if we find and pursue other opportunities for investment, acquisition, strategic cooperation, or other similar actions, which may include investing in technology, our logistics and fulfillment infrastructure, or related talent. If we determine that our cash requirements exceed our amounts of cash on hand or if we decide to change our capital structure, we may seek to issue additional debt or equity securities or obtain credit facilities or other sources of financing. This financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.
Capital Resources
We have entered into material unconditional purchase obligations. These contractual commitments primarily relate to technology related service contracts, fulfillment center construction contracts, and software licenses. For contracts with variable terms, we do not estimate the total obligation beyond any minimum pricing as of the reporting date.
We generally enter into term loan facility agreements to finance the construction or purchase of our fulfillment centers. These agreements may require that we provide collateral equal to or greater than the amount borrowed under the arrangement. As we continue to build or purchase additional fulfillment centers, we expect our borrowings under debt financing arrangements to continue to increase.
Refer to Note 14 — "Commitments and Contingencies", Note 5 — "Defined Severance Benefits", and Note 11 — "Leases" of our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our 2025 Form 10-K for disclosure of our future commitments.
Our short-term and long-term borrowings generally include lines of credit with financial institutions available to be drawn upon for general operating purposes.
Revolving Credit Facility
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable benchmark rate, including but not limited to Term SOFR, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25%. The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including certain financial covenants. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we borrowed $750 million under the Revolving Credit Facility for general operating purposes and $750 million was outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and is included in “Short-term borrowings”.
Other Credit Facilities
During 2026, we entered into various unsecured borrowings under other revolving credit facilities, the majority of which are due in 2026. These credit facilities contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2026, aggregate outstanding borrowings under all other credit facilities totaled $928 million with a weighted average interest rate of 3.01%.
Refer to Note 13 — "Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt" of our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our 2025 Form 10-K for disclosure of our debt obligations and collateral.
