NEW YORK, Sept. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MongoDB, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDB), the leading modern, general purpose database platform, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended July 31, 2018.

"MongoDB delivered outstanding performance across the board in the second quarter" said Dev Ittycheria, President and Chief Executive Officer of MongoDB. "We are seeing strong demand from both new and existing customers across a growing number of use cases, as evidenced by our 63% subscription revenue growth, demonstrating that MongoDB is quickly becoming the modern database platform of choice."

Ittycheria added, "We pushed the pace of innovation with the release of MongoDB 4.0 and are excited about the introduction of new enterprise security features into MongoDB Atlas, our fully managed cloud database service, and the general availability of MongoDB Stitch, our serverless platform. Our investments in expanding engineering and go-to-market capabilities have positioned MongoDB to continue delivering high levels of growth as we disrupt the massive database market."

Second Quarter Fiscal 2019 Financial Highlights

• Revenue: Total revenue was $57.5 million, an increase of 61% year-over-year. Subscription revenue was $52.9 million, an increase of 63% year-over-year, and services revenue was $4.6 million, an increase of 48% year-over-year.
  
  
• Gross Profit: Gross profit was $41.0 million, representing a 71% gross margin, as compared to a 71% gross margin in the prior-year period. Non-GAAP gross profit was $41.8 million, representing a 73% non-GAAP gross margin.
  
  
• Loss from Operations: Loss from operations was $30.6 million, compared to $26.2 million in the year-ago period. Non-GAAP loss from operations was $21.6 million, compared to $21.2 million in the year-ago period.
  
  
• Net Loss: Net loss was $31.2 million, or $0.61 per share based on 51.2 million weighted-average shares outstanding. This compares to $26.1 million, or $1.92 per share based on 13.6 million weighted-average shares outstanding, in the year-ago period. Non-GAAP net loss was $21.1 million, or $0.41 per share based on 51.2 million weighted-average shares outstanding. This compares to $21.2 million, or $0.52 per share based on 40.5 million non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding, in the year-ago period.
  
  
• Cash and Cash Flow: As of July 31, 2018, MongoDB had $523.2 million in cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash. During the three months ended July 31, 2018, MongoDB used $16.9 million of cash in operations and $1.2 million in capital expenditures, leading to negative free cash flow of $18.0 million, compared to negative free cash flow of $16.1 million in the year-ago period. Our cash balance reflects $254 million of proceeds in the quarter from the issuance of our 0.75% senior convertible notes due 2024, net of issuance and capped call costs.

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."

Second Quarter Fiscal 2019 and Recent Business Highlights

• MongoDB saw tremendous community enthusiasm as it hosted its annual MongoDB World conference June 26-27 in New York City. More than 2,000 developers, customers, partners and investors traveled from across the world to attend and were joined by more than 200,000 livestream participants as industry leaders from a variety of different organizations shared how MongoDB is transforming their businesses.
      
  
• MongoDB made several significant product announcements, including the release of MongoDB 4.0, which encompassed the availability of multi-document ACID transactions. The company believes this makes MongoDB the best choice for mission critical use cases and will make it easier than ever for customers to choose MongoDB as their default database platform. The general availability of MongoDB Stitch, the company's serverless platform, exposes advanced database functionality directly to mobile and web applications while providing the robust security and privacy controls expected in today's environment.
    
  
• MongoDB Atlas, the company's managed cloud database-as-a-service offering, continues to see significant momentum in both self-service and direct sales channels, driven by the popularity of MongoDB and major secular trends around public cloud adoption and database modernization. Atlas added approximately 1,000 customers in the quarter. Atlas revenue was up 400% year-over-year and represented 18% of total revenue for the quarter. With Global Clusters now available in MongoDB Atlas, customers can easily create sophisticated policies to strategically distribute data closer to their users for low-latency performance. Global Clusters also facilitate compliance with regulatory requirements like GDPR by ensuring that selected data is isolated within particular geographic boundaries.

Business Outlook

Based on information as of today, September 5, 2018, MongoDB is issuing the following financial guidance for the third quarter and full year fiscal 2019:

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.

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: our limited operating history; our history of losses; failure of our database platform to satisfy customer demands; our investments in new products and our ability to introduce new features, services or enhancements; the effects of increased competition; 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 maintain the security of our software and adequately address privacy concerns; our ability to manage our growth effectively and successfully recruit additional highly-qualified personnel; the price volatility of our common stock; and those risks detailed from time-to-time under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in our Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings and reports, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2018, as well as future filings and reports by us. 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 loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share and free cash flow. Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP loss from operations and non-GAAP net loss exclude stock-based compensation expense and, in the case of non-GAAP net loss, non-cash interest expense related to our convertible senior notes and change in fair value of warrant liability. Non-GAAP net loss per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net loss by the weighted-average shares used to compute net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted, and for periods prior to and including the period in which we completed our initial public offering, giving effect to the conversion of preferred stock at the beginning of the period. 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 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 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 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 http://investors.mongodb.com.
