For the year which ended December 31, 2020, net revenue of $11.97 billion grew 91% year over year, accelerating from the 55% growth in 2019. This came on the heels of revenue increases of 69% and 44% in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Last year, the company incurred a net loss of $475 million, an improvement from its loss of $699 million in 2019. The red ink continued into this year, with a net loss of $295 million in the first quarter. It's important to note, however, that the hit to the bottom line includes a charge of $87 million in equity-based compensation, of which $66 million was equity awards related to Coupang's recent IPO. That number should moderate going forward.</p><p>Perhaps more importantly, while the company continues to invest heavily to ensure future growth, its free cash flow (FCF) is edging closer to breakeven, from -$500 million in 2019 to -$200 million in 2020.</p><p>It isn't surprising that the company isn't yet profitable, given that Coupang has spent billions of dollars building the country's largest end-to-end delivery network. To close out last year, Coupang had 100 fulfillment and logistics centers in over 30 cities. It employs more than 40,000 workers and 15,000 delivery drivers that process, fulfill, and deliver millions of items every day. This gives the company unrivaled scale and a solid foundation for future success.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F629369%2Fcoupang-fulfillment-center.jpg&w=700&op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Coupang.</p><h3>A compelling opportunity</h3><p>As investors have focused on stocks likely to benefit from the pandemic recovery, they may be missing the forest for the trees.
