Company Information
Groupon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which commenced operations in October 2008, is a global scaled two-sided marketplace that connects consumers to merchants by offering goods and services, generally at a discount. Consumers access those marketplaces through our mobile applications and our websites.
Our operations are organized into two segments: North America and International. See Note 18, Segment Information, for more information.
Macroeconomic Conditions and COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the environment that our business operates in, which includes changes in consumer behavior and macroeconomic impacts affecting both us and our merchants. Certain adverse consequences of the pandemic continue to impact the macroeconomic environment and may persist for some time. Impacts to our operations may be caused by macroeconomic trends such as inflationary pressures, higher labor costs, labor shortages and resulting changes in consumer and merchant behavior.
