Business Combinations
Current report
The Company applies a screen test to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets to determine whether a transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition or business combination. When the Company acquires a business, the purchase consideration is allocated to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated respective fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Estimates used in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, time and resources required to recreate the assets acquired. These estimates are based on information obtained from the management of the acquired companies, the Company’s assessment of the information, and historical experience. The Company’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, the Company may record adjustments to the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. After the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

MongoDB Atlas is our hosted multi-cloud database-as-a-service (“DBaaS”) offering, which we run and manage in the cloud, and includes comprehensive infrastructure and management, as well as a host of additional features, such as MongoDB Atlas Search, vector search, time series and application-driven analytics. During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, MongoDB Atlas revenue represented 68% and 70%, respectively, as compared to 66% and 65% of our total revenue during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2023, respectively, reflecting the continued growth of MongoDB Atlas since its introduction in June 2016. We have experienced strong growth in self-serve customers of MongoDB Atlas, which are charged monthly in arrears based on their usage. We have also seen growth in MongoDB Atlas customers sold by our sales force, which typically sign annual contracts and pay in advance or are invoiced monthly in arrears based on usage. Customers sold by our sales force may also sign contracts that remain in effect until terminated and are invoiced monthly in arrears based on usage. We expect to continue to see a higher portion of our MongoDB Atlas contracts to be billed monthly in arrears based on usage without requiring upfront commitments.

Previous wording
As of October 31, 2024, we had over 7,400 customers that were sold through our direct sales force and channel partners, as compared to over 6,900 such customers as of October 31, 2023. These customers, which we refer to as our Direct Sales Customers, accounted for 88% of our subscription revenue for each of the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023. We plan to continue to invest in acquiring new customers and additional workloads from existing customers across all of our channels. We had over 51,100 MongoDB Atlas customers as of October 31, 2024 compared to over 44,900 as of October 31, 2023. The growth in MongoDB Atlas customers included new customers to MongoDB and existing MongoDB Enterprise Advanced customers adding incremental MongoDB Atlas workloads.

The economic attractiveness of our subscription-based model is driven by customer renewals and increasing existing customer subscriptions over time, referred to as land-and-expand. We believe that there is a significant opportunity to drive additional sales to existing customers, and expect to invest in sales and marketing and customer success personnel and activities to achieve additional revenue growth from existing customers. If an application grows and requires additional capacity, our customers increase their usage of our platform. Growth of an application is impacted by a number of factors including the macroeconomic environment. During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, we believe we experienced a negative impact from the macroeconomic environment on the growth of existing Atlas applications, which affected our revenue growth. We expect the macroeconomic environment to continue to negatively impact our revenue growth for the remainder of the year. In addition, our customers add incremental workloads or expand their subscriptions to our platform as they migrate additional existing applications or build new applications, either within the same department or in other lines of business or geographies. Also, as customers modernize their information technology infrastructure and move to the cloud, they may migrate applications from legacy databases. Our goal is to increase the number of customers that standardize on our platform within their organization, as well as add new workloads with new and existing customers. Over time, the subscription amount for our typical Direct Sales Customer has increased.

We calculate annualized recurring revenue (“ARR”) and annualized monthly recurring revenue (“MRR”) to help us measure our subscription revenue performance. 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 usage 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 usage of such products, assuming no increases or reductions in usage. ARR and annualized MRR exclude professional services. The number of customers with $100,000 or greater in ARR and annualized MRR was 2,314 and 1,972 as of October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our ability to increase sales to existing customers will depend on a number of factors, including customers’ satisfaction or dissatisfaction with our products and services, competition, pricing, economic conditions or overall changes in our customers’ spending levels.

We also examine the rate at which our customers increase their spend with us, which we call net ARR expansion rate. We calculate net ARR expansion rate by dividing the ARR at the close of a given period (the “measurement period”), from customers who were also customers at the close of the same period in the prior year (the “base period”), by the ARR from all customers at the close of the base period, including those who churned or reduced their subscriptions. For Direct Sales Customers included in the base period, measurement period or both such periods that were self-serve customers in any such period, we also include annualized MRR from those customers in the calculation of the net ARR expansion rate. As of October 31, 2024, our net ARR expansion rate was approximately 120%. Historically, our net ARR expansion rate has been over 120%. The decline versus most historical periods is attributable to a smaller contribution from expanding customers. Our net ARR expansion rate may fluctuate in future periods due to a variety of factors, including the volume and type of workloads that we onboard, growth rate of historical workloads on our platform and changes in the macroeconomic environment.

We regularly assess the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. In making that assessment, we consider both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We have maintained a valuation allowance on U.S., U.K. and Ireland net deferred tax assets, as it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Previous wording
The increase in subscription cost of revenue was primarily due to a $49.0 million increase in third‑party cloud infrastructure costs, including costs associated with the growth of MongoDB Atlas. The increase in third-party infrastructure costs was partly offset by continued cost efficiencies realized as we scale MongoDB Atlas. In addition, subscription cost of revenue was higher due to a $12.9 million increase in personnel costs and stock-based compensation associated with increased headcount in our support organization. The increase in services cost of revenue was primarily due to a $6.6 million increase in third-party consultant costs related to the delivery of consulting and training services and a $3.7 million increase in personnel costs and stock-based compensation associated with increased headcount in our services organization. Total headcount in our support and services organizations increased 22% from October 31, 2023 to October 31, 2024.
Current wording
The increase in subscription cost of revenue was primarily due to a $20.2 million increase in third‑party cloud infrastructure costs, including costs associated with the growth of MongoDB Atlas, and an increase of $5.1 million personnel costs and stock-based compensation.

The increase in research and development expense was primarily driven by a $20.0 million increase in personnel costs and stock-based compensation as we grew our research and development headcount by 11%. In addition, research and development expense increased $2.4 million due to higher third-party infrastructure expenses related to development costs of our MongoDB Atlas offering.
Current wording
The increase in research and development expense was primarily driven by a $20.0 million increase in personnel costs and stock-based compensation.
Previous wording
The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily driven by higher costs to support the growth of our business. In particular, these higher costs were primarily driven by an increase in general and administrative personnel headcount resulting in $17.4 million higher personnel costs and stock-based compensation. General and administrative expense also increased $7.8 million due to value-added tax expense related to our operations in certain non-US jurisdictions. In addition, general and administrative expenses increased $6.2 million due to higher professional fees and higher software costs.
Current wording
The decrease in general and administrative expense was primarily driven by a $7.1 million release of reserves for value-added tax expense related to our operations in certain non-US jurisdictions, which was partially offset by an increase of $0.9 million in personnel costs and stock-based compensation.
Previous wording

As of October 31, 2024, our principal sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash totaling $2.3 billion. Our cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of bank deposits and money market funds. Our short-term investments consist of U.S. government treasury securities, and our restricted cash represents collateral for our available credit on corporate credit cards. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to fund our operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months.

We have generated significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations as reflected in our accumulated deficit and historical consolidated statements of cash flows. As of October 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.9 billion. We expect to continue to incur operating losses, may continue to experience negative cash flows from operations in the future and may require additional capital resources to execute strategic initiatives to grow our business. Our future capital requirements and adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including our growth rate and any impact on it from global macroeconomic conditions, including rising interest rates, inflation and recent volatility in the banking sector, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing and international operation activities, the timing and size of new subscription introductions and customer usage of our developer data platform, the continuing market acceptance of our subscriptions and services and the impact of the macroeconomic conditions on the global economy and our business, financial condition and results of operations. As the impact of macroeconomic conditions on the global economy and our operations continues to evolve, we will continue to assess our liquidity needs. In the future, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services and technologies, including intellectual property rights. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.

We have experienced seasonal fluctuations in our revenue and operating results and this trend may continue in the future. We may experience variability and reduced comparability of our quarterly revenue and operating results with respect to the timing and nature of certain contracts, particularly multi-year contracts that contain a term license. We may also experience fluctuations as MongoDB Atlas revenue is recorded on a consumption basis and varies with usage, including seasonality factors. As MongoDB Atlas revenue continues to increase as a percentage of total revenue, these fluctuations may have a greater impact on our results of operations.

The increase in subscription cost of revenue was primarily due to a $16.3 million increase in third‑party cloud infrastructure costs, including costs associated with the growth of MongoDB Atlas. The increase in third-party infrastructure costs was partly offset by continued cost efficiencies realized as we scale MongoDB Atlas. In addition, subscription cost of revenue was higher due to a $4.7 million increase in personnel costs and stock-based compensation associated with increased headcount in our support organization. The increase in services cost of revenue was primarily due to a $2.7 million increase in personnel costs and stock-based compensation, associated with increased headcount in our services organization, and a $1.7 million increase in third-party consultant costs related to the delivery of consulting and training services. Total headcount in our support and services organizations increased 22% from October 31, 2023 to October 31, 2024.
