Continued Strong Customer Growth with Over 31,000 Customers as of October 31, 2021
MongoDB Atlas Revenue up 84% Year-over-Year; 58% of Total Q3 Revenue
NEW YORK - December 6, 2021 - MongoDB, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDB), the leading modern, general purpose database platform, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended October 31, 2021.
“MongoDB delivered another fantastic quarter, highlighted by 84% Atlas revenue growth and increasing our customer count to over 31,000. Our continued success reflects the adoption of our application data platform by customers who need to innovate faster to compete in today’s marketplace,” said Dev Ittycheria, President and Chief Executive Officer of MongoDB.
“We believe a key driver of our success has been the early, but growing, trend of customers choosing MongoDB as an enterprise standard for their future application development. Our success across industries and a wide variety of use cases puts us in a great position to build even deeper relationships with our customers over time.”
Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Financial Highlights
•Revenue: Total revenue was $226.9 million in the third quarter fiscal 2022, an increase of 50% year-over-year. Subscription revenue was $217.9 million, an increase of 51% year-over-year, and services revenue was $9.0 million, an increase of 35% year-over-year.
•Gross Profit: Gross profit was $158.4 million in the third quarter fiscal 2022, representing a 70% gross margin, up from 69% gross margin in the year-ago period. Non-GAAP gross profit was $163.9 million, representing a 72% non-GAAP gross margin.
•Loss from Operations: Loss from operations was $76.8 million in the third quarter fiscal 2022, compared to $58.1 million in the year-ago period. Non-GAAP loss from operations was $3.5 million, compared to $16.0 million in the year-ago period.
•Net Loss: Net loss was $81.3 million, or $1.22 per share, based on 66.4 million weighted-average shares outstanding in the third quarter fiscal 2022. This compares to $72.7 million, or $1.22 per share, based on 59.4 million weighted-average shares outstanding, in the year-ago period. Non-GAAP net loss was $7.2 million or $0.11 per share. This compares to $18.2 million or $0.31 per share in the year-ago period.
•Cash Flow: As of October 31, 2021, MongoDB had $1.8 billion in cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash. During the three months ended October 31, 2021, MongoDB used $5.8 million of cash from operations, used $2.2 million of cash in capital expenditures and used $1.2 million of cash in principal repayments of finance leases, leading to negative free cash flow of $9.2 million, compared to negative free cash flow of $14.9 million in the year-ago period.
A reconciliation of each Non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure has been provided in the financial statement tables included at the end of this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 and Recent Business Highlights
•MongoDB 5.1, our first-ever quarterly release, brings users time series support for sharding, improved capabilities for sophisticated analytics on real-time data, and enhancements to Client-Side Field Level Encryption. In addition, MongoDB announced a preview of its new facet operator in Atlas Search, which makes workloads such as e-commerce product catalogs and content libraries run significantly faster.
•MongoDB Atlas for Government achieved the FedRAMP designation of “In process,” with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) serving as the initial agency partner. Once MongoDB Atlas for Government becomes FedRAMP Authorized, MongoDB will be positioned to better capitalize on the significant popularity of MongoDB across a number of U.S. federal government agencies.
•MongoDB announced the appointment of Peder Ulander as Chief Marketing Officer. Ulander was previously at Amazon Web Services (AWS), where he led Developer and Enterprise Marketing. Ulander brings deep experience in cloud, open source, and developer engagement with an established track record of helping start-ups and large technology companies take advantage of major market transitions.
Based on information as of today, December 6, 2021, MongoDB is issuing the following financial guidance for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2022.
| | | | | | | | |
| Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2022 | Full Year Fiscal 2022 |
| Revenue | $239.0 million to $242.0 million | $846.3 million to $849.3 million |
| Non-GAAP Loss from Operations | ($13.0) million to ($11.0) million | ($36.4) million to ($34.4) million |
| Non-GAAP Net Loss per Share | ($0.24) to ($0.21) | ($0.74) to ($0.71) |
The guidance provided above is forward-looking in nature. Actual results may differ materially. See the cautionary note regarding “Forward-Looking Statements” below. Fluctuations in MongoDB’s operating results may be particularly pronounced in the current economic environment due to continuing uncertainty caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the duration and ultimate impact of which is difficult to predict at this time. The situation regarding COVID-19 remains uncertain and could change rapidly, and MongoDB will continue to evaluate its potential impact on its business.
Reconciliation of non-GAAP loss from operations and non-GAAP net loss per share guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures; in particular, the measures and effects of stock-based compensation expense specific to equity compensation awards that are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in MongoDB’s stock price. MongoDB expects the variability of the above charges to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on its future GAAP financial results.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements contained in this press release that are not historical facts and statements identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “would” or the negative or plural of these words or similar expressions or variations. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects, which are based on the information currently available to us and on assumptions we have made. Although we believe that our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects as reflected in or suggested by those forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that the plans, intentions, expectations or strategies will be attained or achieved. Furthermore, actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and are subject to a variety of assumptions, uncertainties, risks and factors that are beyond our control including, without limitation: the impact that the precautions we have taken in our business relative to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may have on our business; the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers, our potential customers, the global financial markets and our business and future operating results; our potential failure to meet publicly announced guidance or other expectations about our business and future operating results; our limited operating history; our history of losses; failure of our database platform to satisfy customer demands; the effects of increased competition; our investments in new products and our ability to introduce new features, services or enhancements; our ability to effectively expand our sales and marketing organization; our ability to continue to build and maintain credibility with the developer community; our ability to add new customers or increase sales to our existing customers; our ability to maintain, protect, enforce and enhance our intellectual property; the growth and expansion of the market for database products and our ability to penetrate that market; our ability to integrate acquired businesses and technologies successfully or achieve the expected benefits of such acquisitions; our ability to maintain the security of our software and adequately address privacy concerns; our ability to manage our growth effectively and successfully recruit and retain additional highly-qualified personnel; and the price volatility of our common stock. These and other risks and uncertainties are more fully described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on September 3, 2021. Additional information will be made available in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2021 and other filings and reports that we may file from time to time with the SEC. Except as required by law, we undertake no duty or obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this release as a result of new information, future events, changes in expectations or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share and free cash flow. Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin exclude stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share exclude:
•stock-based compensation expense;
•amortization of intangible assets for the acquired technology and acquired customer relationships associated with prior acquisitions;
•amortization of time-based payments associated with prior acquisitions that were deemed to be post-combination compensation expense for U.S. GAAP purposes; and
•in the case of non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, amortization of the debt discount and issuance costs associated with our convertible senior notes.
MongoDB uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating MongoDB’s ongoing operational performance. MongoDB believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial results with other companies in MongoDB’s industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
Free cash flow represents net cash used in operating activities, less capital expenditures, principal repayments of finance lease liabilities and capitalized software development costs, if any. MongoDB uses free cash flow to understand and evaluate its liquidity and to generate future operating plans. The exclusion of capital expenditures, principal repayments of finance lease liabilities and amounts capitalized for software development facilitates comparisons of MongoDB’s liquidity on a period-to-period basis and excludes items that it does not consider to be indicative of its liquidity. MongoDB believes that free cash flow is a measure of liquidity that provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the strength of its liquidity and future ability to generate cash that can be used for strategic opportunities or investing in its business in the same manner as MongoDB’s management and board of directors.
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In particular, other companies may report non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, free cash flow or similarly titled measures but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as presented below. This earnings press release and any future releases containing such non-GAAP reconciliations can also be found on the Investor Relations page of MongoDB’s website at https://investors.mongodb.com.

(a) Direct Sales Customers are customers that were sold through our direct sales force and channel partners.
(b) Represents the number of customers with $100,000 or greater in annualized recurring revenue (“ARR”) and annualized monthly recurring revenue (“MRR”). ARR includes the revenue we expect to receive from our customers over the following 12 months based on contractual commitments and, in the case of Direct Sales Customers of MongoDB Atlas, by annualizing the prior 90 days of their actual consumption of MongoDB Atlas, assuming no increases or reductions in their subscriptions or usage. For all other customers of our self-serve products, we calculate annualized MRR by annualizing the prior 30 days of their actual consumption of such products, assuming no increases or reductions in usage. ARR and annualized MRR exclude professional services. Prior to January 31, 2020, ARR from Direct Sales Customers of MongoDB Atlas was based on their contractual commitments instead of their actual consumption. We believe that our new consumption-based ARR calculation better reflects current customer behavior. The impact of this change on prior reported periods is immaterial.
