Share Repurchase Program
Current report
In February 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $200.0 million of the Company’s common stock. In June 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an additional $800.0 million in repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program, bringing the aggregate authorized repurchase amount to $1.0 billion. During the year ended January 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 1,576,109 shares of common stock for $400.3 million. The average price per share for the year ended January 31, 2026 was $306.87. All repurchases were made in open market transactions and recorded in treasury stock. As of January 31, 2026, our total remaining authorization under our stock repurchase plan is $599.7 million.
Current report
The timing and amount of any repurchases will be determined by management based on an evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion.

Business Acquisition
Current report
On February 17, 2025, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Voyage AI Innovations, Inc. (“Voyage AI”), an AI-powered software company that specializes in embedding and reranking models. The acquisition date fair value of the purchase consideration was $160.9 million, which was comprised of 484,169 shares of our common stock valued at $141.4 million as of the acquisition date and $19.5 million in cash. In addition, we also issued to certain of Voyage AI’s employees a total of 213,023 shares of restricted stock awards and 35,152 shares of restricted stock units in exchange for a portion of their Voyage AI stock. These shares are subject to vesting agreements contingent upon each of these employees’ continued employment with us or our affiliates, pursuant to which the shares will vest over the weighted-average requisite service period of 2.7 years. The $62.2 million fair value of these restricted stock awards and $10.3 million fair value of these restricted stock units are accounted for as post-combination stock-based compensation expense over the weighted-average requisite service period.
Current report
The results of operations of this business combination have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. See Note 5, Business Combinations, in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, for details regarding this business combination.
Current report
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill ("OBBBA") was signed into law. The OBBBA includes a broad range of U.S. tax reform measures, including, among other provisions, the immediate expensing of U.S. research and development expenditures. In accordance with ASC 740, we have recognized the effects of the new tax law in the period of enactment. As we maintain a full valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets, the legislation does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Current report
The increase in sales and marketing expense was primarily driven by a $41.1 million increase in commissions, a $27.5 million increase in personnel costs, a $19.8 million increase in spend on in-person events and digital marketing programs and $4.5 million in restructuring costs. The increase in sales and marketing was partially offset by a $11.8 million decrease in travel-related expenses due to reduced internal travel and sales events and a $11.5 million decrease in stock-based compensation.
Current report
In June 2025, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $800.0 million in repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program, bringing the aggregate authorized repurchase amount to $1.0 billion. During the year ended January 31, 2026, we repurchased 1,576,109 shares of common stock for $400.3 million. The average price per share for the year ended January 31, 2026 was $306.87. Refer to Note 11, Equity, in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, and “Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer” included in Part II, Item 5 of this Form 10-K for further details.
Current report
In October 2025, we began funding withholding taxes in certain jurisdictions due on the vesting of employee RSUs by net share settlement, rather than our previous approach of selling shares of our common stock to cover taxes upon vesting of such awards. The amount of withholding taxes paid related to net share settlement of employee RSUs was $98.6 million for the year ended January 31, 2026.
Current report
Cash used in financing activities during the year ended January 31, 2026 was $462.4 million, due to repurchases of common stock of $400.3 million, $98.6 million due to taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards, and principal payments of finance leases of $7.5 million, offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $40.8 million and proceeds from the exercises of stock options of $3.2 million.
Current report
Business Combinations
Current report
We apply 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 we acquire 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, our assessment of the information, and historical experience. Our 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, we 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.

Previous report
Utilization of the federal NOL carryforwards and credits may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Code, as amended and similar state provisions. The annual limitation, should we undergo an ownership change, may result in the expiration of U.S. federal or state net operating losses and credits before utilization; however we do not expect any such limitation to be material.
Previous report
The increase in sales and marketing expense was primarily driven by a $38.8 million increase in personnel costs and stock-based compensation, a $22.5 million increase in spend on in-person events and marketing programs and a $20.5 million increase in commission expense. Our headcount was 2,542 as of January 31, 2025 compared to 2,338 as of January 31, 2024.
Previous report
During the three months ended April 30, 2024, the Company elected to cash settle its Capped Calls associated with the 2024 Notes. In June 2024, the Capped Calls associated with the 2024 Notes settled and the Company received $170.6 million in cash. For further discussion on the Capped Calls, please refer to Note 6, Convertible Senior Notes, in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K.
Previous report
In October 2024, the optional redemption feature of the 2026 Notes was satisfied as the last reported sale price of our common stock was more than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days. On October 16, 2024, we issued a notice of redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) for all aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 2026 Notes. Approximately $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount was converted to 5,662,979 shares of the Company’s common stock with $0.4 million settled in cash. For further discussion on the 2026 Notes, please refer to Note 6, Convertible Senior Notes, in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K.

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, data lifecycle, application-driven analytics, and stream processing. During the year ended January 31, 2025, MongoDB Atlas revenue represented 70% of our total revenue, as compared to 66% in the prior year, 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.

MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is our proprietary commercial database server offering for enterprise customers that can run in the cloud, on-premises or in a hybrid environment. MongoDB Enterprise Advanced revenue represented 24%, 26% and 29% of our subscription revenue for the years ended January 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We sell subscriptions directly through our field and inside sales teams, as well as indirectly through channel partners. The majority of our subscription contracts are one year in duration and are invoiced upfront. When we enter into multi-year subscriptions, the customer is typically invoiced on an annual basis or pays upfront.

Many of our enterprise customers initially get to know our software by using Community Server, which is our free-to-download version of our database that includes the core functionality developers need to get started with MongoDB without all the features of our commercial platform. Our platform has been downloaded from our website more than 500 million times since February 2009. We also offer a free tier of MongoDB Atlas, which provides access to our hosted database solution with limited processing power and storage, as well as certain operational limitations. As a result, with the availability of both Community Server and MongoDB Atlas free tier offerings, our direct sales prospects are often familiar with our platform and may have already built applications using our technology. A core component of our growth strategy for MongoDB Atlas and MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is to convert developers and their organizations who are already using Community Server or the free tier of MongoDB Atlas to become customers of our commercial products and enjoy the benefits of either a self-managed or hosted offering.

We also generate revenue from services, which consist primarily of fees associated with consulting and training services. Revenue from services accounted for 3% of our total revenue for each of the years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 and 4% for the year ended January 31, 2023. We expect to continue to invest in our services organization as we believe it plays an important role in accelerating our customers’ realization of the benefits of our platform, which helps drive customer retention and expansion.

Adverse macroeconomic conditions include slower or negative economic growth, higher inflation and higher interest rates. During the year ended January 31, 2025, the macroeconomic environment negatively impacted our business. For instance, we experienced slower than historical growth rates for our existing MongoDB Atlas applications. While the impact of these macroeconomic conditions on our business, results of operations and financial position remain uncertain over the long term, we expect to experience macroeconomic headwinds on growth rate for our existing MongoDB Atlas applications in the short term.

We are committed to delivering market-leading products to continue to build and maintain credibility with the global software developer community. We believe we must maintain our product leadership position and the strength of our brand to drive further revenue growth. We intend to continue to invest in our product offerings with the goal of expanding the functionality and adoption of our developer data platform. During 2024, we introduced MongoDB version 8.0 enhancing enterprise-grade security, resilience and availability for a wide variety of applications. We added additional features to Queryable Encryption, an encrypted search scheme, to support equality and range searches. We also added additional capabilities such as Atlas Stream Processing, as well as expanded availability of Atlas Search Nodes in more cloud regions, which now provide dedicated infrastructure for search use cases so customers can scale independently of their database to manage their workloads with greater flexibility and operational efficiency.

Recently, we have introduced an application programming interface (API) within Atlas that natively provides access to Voyage AI’s embedding and reranking models. These capabilities, when combined with the core functionality of Atlas, enable organizations to build, deploy and scale AI-powered applications with higher accuracy, lower latency and reduced architectural complexity.
Previous wording
We intend to continue to invest in our engineering capabilities and marketing activities to maintain our strong position in the developer community.

We are intensely focused on continuing togrow our customer base. We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, in our sales and marketing efforts and developer community outreach, which are critical to driving customer acquisition. As of January 31, 2025, we had over 54,500 customers across a wide range of industries and in over 100 countries, compared to over 47,800 customers and over 40,800 customers as of January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. All affiliated entities are counted as a single customerand our definition of “customer” excludes users of our free offerings.

As of January 31, 2025, we had over 7,500 customers that were sold through our direct sales force and channel partners, as compared to over 7,000 and over 6,400 such customers as of January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These customers, which we refer to as our Direct Sales Customers, accounted for 88% of our subscription revenue for each of the years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 and 87% for the year ended January 31, 2023. The percentage of our subscription revenue from Direct Sales Customers increased, in part, due to existing self-serve customers of MongoDB Atlas becoming Direct Sales Customers. We are also focused on increasing the number of overall MongoDB Atlas customers as we emphasize the on-demand scalability of MongoDB Atlas by allowing our customers to consume the product with minimal commitment. We had over 53,100 MongoDB Atlas customers as of January 31, 2025. The growth in MongoDB Atlas customers included new customers to MongoDB and existing MongoDB Enterprise Advanced customers adding incremental MongoDB Atlas workloads.

Previous wording
The economic attractiveness of our subscription-based model is demonstrated 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 year ended January 31, 2025, 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. 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 2,396, 2,052 and 1,651 as of January 31, 2025, 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 January 31, 2025, our net ARR expansion rate was approximately 118%. 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 are focused on our long-term revenue potential. We believe that our market opportunity is large and we will continue to invest in scaling across all organizational functions in order to grow our operations both domestically and internationally. Any investments we make in our sales and marketing organization will occur in advance of experiencing the benefits from such investments, so it may be difficult for us to determine if we are efficiently allocating resources in those areas. We have increased our sales and marketing headcount to 2,542 employees as of January 31, 2025 from 2,338 employees and 2,249 employees as of January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Subscription Revenue. Our subscription revenue is comprised of term licenses and database-as-a-service solutions. Revenue from our MongoDB Atlas database-as-a-service offering is primarily generated on a usage basis and is billed either monthly in arrears or paid upfront. Subscriptions to term licenses include technical support and access to new software versions on a when-and-if available basis. Revenue from our term licenses is recognized upfront for the license component and ratably for the technical support and when-and-if available update components. Associated contracts are typically billed annually in advance. The majority of our subscription contracts are one year in duration. When we enter into multi-year subscriptions, the customer is typically invoiced on an annual basis or pays upfront. Our subscription contracts are generally non-cancelable and non-refundable.

Cost of Subscription Revenue. Cost of subscription revenue primarily includes third-party cloud infrastructure expenses for our database-as-a-service solutions. We expect our cost of subscription revenue to increase in absolute dollars as our subscription revenue increases and, depending on the results of MongoDB Atlas, our cost of subscription revenue may increase as a percentage of subscription revenue as well. Cost of subscription revenue also includes personnel costs, including salaries, bonuses and benefits and stock-based compensation, for employees associated with our subscription arrangements principally related to technical support and allocated shared costs, as well as depreciation and amortization.

Gross Margin. Gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of revenue, has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including the average sales price of our products and services, the mix of products sold, transaction volume growth and the mix of revenue between subscriptions and services. We expect our gross margin to fluctuate over time depending on the factors described above and, to the extent MongoDB Atlas revenue increases as a percentage of total revenue, our gross margin may decline as a result of the associated hosting costs of MongoDB Atlas.

Gross Margin. Gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of revenue, has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including the average sales price of our products and services, the mix of products sold, transaction volume growth and the mix of revenue between subscriptions and services. We expect our gross margin to fluctuate over time depending on the factors described above and, to the extent Atlas revenue increases as a percentage of total revenue, our gross margin may decline as a result of the associated hosting costs of Atlas.

Provision for income taxes consists primarily of state income taxes in the United States and income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. As of January 31, 2025, we had net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for U.S. federal and state, Irish and U.K. income tax purposes of approximately $2.1 billion, $2.0 billion, $834.3 million and $52.9 million, respectively, which begin to expire in the year ending January 31, 2028 for U.S. federal purposes and January 31, 2026 for state purposes. Operating losses in the United States, for years after January 31, 2019, in Ireland and the U.K. may be carried forward indefinitely. The deferred tax assets associated with the NOL carryforwards in each of these jurisdictions are subject to a full valuation allowance. Under Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), a corporation that experiences an “ownership change” is subject to a limitation on its ability to utilize its pre-change NOLs to offset future taxable income. We also have U.S. federal and state research credit carryforwards of $178.1 million and $16.3 million, respectively, which begin to expire in the year ending January 31, 2029 for federal purposes and January 31, 2026 for state purposes. Beginning in fiscal year 2023, provisions in the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 require the Company to capitalize and amortize research and development (“R&D”) expenditures rather than deducting the costs as incurred. As the result of the new R&D capitalization effective in fiscal year 2023, the capitalized amounts resulted in a decrease of the current year net operating loss. Capitalized R&D expenditures are deductible as amortized in future periods. Therefore, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset for the capitalized R&D expenditures.

Previous wording
The increase in subscription cost of revenue was primarily due to a $71.6 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, cost of revenue was higher due to a $16.7 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 $6.7 million increase in personnel costs and stock-based compensation associated with headcount in our services organization, and a $6.1 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 23% from January 31, 2024 to January 31, 2025.
Current wording

As of January 31, 2025, 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 as reflected in our accumulated deficit of $1.8 billion as of January 31, 2025. While we generated positive cash flows from operations in recent years, we have generated negative cash flows from operations in the past as reflected in our historical consolidated statements of cash flows. We expect to continue to incur operating losses, may 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, 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.

iv. Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. For contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) basis. We also consider if there are any additional material rights inherent in a contract and if so, we allocate a portion of the transaction price to such rights based on SSP. We determine each SSP based on multiple factors, including past history of selling such performance obligations as standalone products. We estimate SSP for performance obligations with no observable evidence using adjusted market, cost plus and residual methods to establish the SSPs. In cases where directly observable standalone sales are not available, such as when the term license is not sold separately, we consider all observable data points including competitor pricing for a similar or identical product, market and industry data points and our pricing practices to establish the SSP.
