First Quarter Fiscal 2022 Total Revenue of $181.6 million, up 39% Year-over-Year

Continued Strong Customer Growth with Over 26,800 Customers as of April 30, 2021

MongoDB Atlas Revenue up 73% Year-over-Year; 51% of Total Q1 Revenue

NEW YORK, June 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MongoDB, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDB), the leading, modern general purpose database platform, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended April 30, 2021.

"MongoDB delivered an excellent start to fiscal 2022, highlighted by 73% growth of Atlas. Five years ago this month we launched Atlas with the idea that customers would value a fully managed MongoDB database as a service offering from the company that built MongoDB. Today, Atlas is nearly a $400 million revenue run rate business, and represents, for the first time, the majority of our revenue," said Dev Ittycheria, President and Chief Executive Officer of MongoDB. 

"These results are strong validation for a modern data application platform that empowers developers to rapidly build flexible and highly scalable applications across a broad range of use cases. MongoDB's strong product-market fit, as evidenced by the wide variety of customers, from cutting-edge start-ups to the world's largest businesses, puts us in a great position to continue to generate high growth at scale."

• Revenue: Total revenue was $181.6 million in the first quarter fiscal 2022, an increase of 39% year-over-year. Subscription revenue was $174.6 million, an increase of 40% year-over-year, and services revenue was $7.1 million, an increase of 29% year-over-year.
• Gross Profit: Gross profit was $127.1 million in the first quarter fiscal 2022, representing a 70% gross margin, compared to 71% in the year-ago period. Non-GAAP gross profit was $131.6 million, representing a 72% non-GAAP gross margin.
• Loss from Operations: Loss from operations was $61.4 million in the first quarter fiscal 2022, compared to $42.0 million in the year-ago period. Non-GAAP loss from operations was $8.4 million, compared to $7.4 million in the year-ago period.
• Net Loss: Net loss was $64.0 million, or $1.04 per share, based on 61.4 million weighted-average shares outstanding in the first quarter fiscal 2022. This compares to $54.0 million, or $0.94 per share, based on 57.6 million weighted-average shares outstanding, in the year-ago period. Non-GAAP net loss was $9.5 million or $0.15 per share. This compares to $7.3 million or $0.13 per share in the year-ago period.
• Cash Flow: As of April 30, 2021, MongoDB had $935.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash. During the three months ended April 30, 2021, MongoDB generated $10.2 million of cash from operations, used $0.6 million of cash in capital expenditures and $1.2 million in principal repayments of finance leases, leading to free cash flow of $8.4 million, compared to negative free cash flow of $8.5 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."

First Quarter Fiscal 2022 and Recent Business Highlights

• Partnerships with major cloud providers accelerated as we closed our strongest quarter to date with AWS, Google Cloud and Alibaba. We also launched two new OEM cloud partnerships with European cloud leader OVH Cloud and Korea-based Naver Cloud to expand the options for customers to use MongoDB managed services almost anywhere in the world.
• Successfully onboarded over 1,300 employees remotely since the pandemic began while maintaining record engagement levels - more than nine out of ten of our employees report that they are proud to work at MongoDB and would recommend it as a great place to work. We were also recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the Best Workplaces in 2021.
• Recently welcomed our largest-ever summer intern class of 111, including our first-ever class in Copenhagen. Our interns represent 57 schools and were chosen from almost 29,000 applicants. What started as a small experiment with a few interns 10 years ago has grown into a program that has sourced a quarter of our engineers worldwide.

Based on information as of today, June 3, 2021, MongoDB is issuing the following financial guidance for the second quarter and full year fiscal 2022.

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 our stock price. We expect the variability of the above charges to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

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 founder payments associated with the mLab purchase that was deemed to be compensation expense for GAAP purposes; and
• in the case of non-GAAP net loss, 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.
