Item 1. Business
Overview
MongoDB is the developer data platform company whose mission is to empower developers to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data. Our developer data platform is a globally distributed operational database integrated with a set of data services that allow development teams to address the growing variety of application requirements, all in a unified and consistent user experience.
2
The foundation of our platform is the world’s leading, modern general purpose database. Built on our unique document-based architecture, our database is designed to handle unstructured data and meet the needs of organizations for performance, scalability, flexibility and reliability while maintaining the strengths of relational databases.Every software application requires a database to store, organize and process data. Large organizations can have tens of thousands of applications and associated databases. A database directly impacts an application's performance, scalability, flexibility and reliability. As a result, selecting a database is a highly strategic decision that directly affects developer productivity, application performance and organizational competitiveness.
The global database market is dominated by legacy relational databases, which were first developed in the 1970s. Their underlying architecture remains largely unchanged even though the nature of applications, how they are deployed and their role in business has evolved dramatically. Modern software development is highly iterative and requires flexibility. Relational databases were not built to support the volume, variety and speed of data being generated today, hindering application performance and developer productivity. In a relational database environment, developers are often required to spend significant time fixing and maintaining the linkages between modern applications and the rigid database structures that are inherent in relational offerings. Further, relational databases were built before cloud computing and were not designed for “always-on” globally distributed deployments. These factors have left developers and their organizations in need of more agile and effective database alternatives. A number of non-relational database alternatives have attempted to address the limitations of relational databases, but they have not achieved widespread developer mindshare and marketplace adoption due to technical trade-offs in their product architectures and the resulting compromises developers are required to make in application development.
Our database combines the best of both relational and non-relational databases. We believe our core platform differentiation is driven by our ability to address the needs of organizations for performance, scalability, flexibility and reliability while maintaining the strengths of relational databases. Our document-based architecture enables developers to manage data more naturally, making it easy and intuitive for developers to rapidly and cost-effectively build, modernize, deploy and maintain applications, thereby increasing the pace of innovation within an organization. Customers can run our database in any environment, depending on their operational requirements: fully managed as a service or self-managed in the cloud, on-premises or in a hybrid environment.
In 2023, generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) emerged as a significant technology trend. Generative AI is the process of generating original content by using foundation models (“FMs”), which are trained on large amounts of generally available data. Organizations of all sizes are looking at how to use their proprietary data in concert with FMs to drive better, AI-powered experiences for their customers. Organizations need a modern database to securely build, deploy, and scale generative AI applications. AI-driven workloads require the underlying database to be capable of processing queries against rich and complex data structures quickly and efficiently. Our flexible document model is uniquely positioned to help customers build sophisticated AI applications because it is designed to handle different data types (source data, vector data, metadata and generated data) right alongside live operational data, negating the need for multiple database systems and complex back-end architectures.
In addition to the database offering, our developer data platform includes additional capabilities that allow developers to address a broader range of application requirements. Our platform’s integrated capabilities allow organizations to reduce the need for disparate, single-purpose data technologies, thereby lowering the cost and complexity of their application infrastructure. These complementary capabilities of our platform include:
•Search. Extends the developer interface for working with the database to seamlessly implement relevance-based search operations, simplifying the development of rich search experiences in applications. It also eliminates the need to run a separate search engine alongside the database and maintains the sync between the two systems.
•Vector search. Enables customers to easily and securely use pre-trained foundation models to leverage their own proprietary, up-to-date data for more accurate and trustworthy AI applications. Atlas Vector Search allows the integration of an operational database and vector search in a unified, fully managed platform.
•Time series. Supports the entire end-to-end cycle of applications that leverage time series data, from ingestion, storage and querying to native data visualization and automated data archival in a single platform, which removes the need for complex integration, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing cost.
•Data lifecycle. Includes capabilities that help users more effectively manage the lifecycle of their application data. For example, Atlas Online Archive helps users automatically tier aged data out of the database while keeping the data fully accessible.
3
•Application-driven analytics. Includes a wide range of capabilities to help development teams build richer application experiences that rely on automatic, low-latency analytical processing of live data. This includes rich aggregations and indexing strategies, as well as dedicated analytics nodes for workload isolation.
•Stream processing. Simplifies processing high-volume, high-velocity streams of data, transforming how developers build responsive, real-time applications. Use cases include personalization, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance.
•Queryable encryption. Allows a database to search and filter data while it remains fully encrypted. This technology increases security and compliance by ensuring sensitive information is never visible to database administrators, cloud providers, or potential hackers.
In February 2025, we acquired all outstanding shares of Voyage AI Innovations, Inc. (“Voyage AI”). Voyage AI was a pioneer in state-of-the-art embedding and reranking models that power next-generation AI applications. These models improve the accuracy of data retrieval and reduce the risk of AI hallucinations, which has been a primary factor limiting generative AI adoption. Integrating Voyage AI’s technology with MongoDB’s data platform capabilities will enable organizations to confidently, cost effectively, and securely build trustworthy, AI powered applications that deliver more accurate and reliable results at scale.
We compete in the database management software market, which is one of the largest in the software industry. We believe the market for our offerings is large and growing. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC)’s Worldwide Database Management Systems Software Forecast, 2025-2029, the worldwide Database Management Software market was $93 billion in 2024, growing to approximately $169 billion in 2029. This represents a 13% five-year compound annual growth rate. Over the last two years, a number of companies launched code assistant tools, which leverage generative AI to help developers write and test their code faster, thereby accelerating application development. We believe this acceleration in application development will further benefit the data management software market, by increasing the volume of new software and demand for scalable, flexible data platforms to manage the resulting growth of data.
The MongoDB Advantage
The key differentiating features and capabilities of our developer data platform include:
We Built Our Platform for Developers.
MongoDB was built by developers for developers. We architected our platform with robust functionality and made it easy and intuitive for developers to build, modernize, deploy and maintain applications rapidly and cost-effectively, thereby increasing developer productivity. Our document-based architecture enables developers to manage and interact with data in a more natural way than legacy alternatives. Consequently, developers can focus on the application and end-user experience, because they do not have to spend time fixing and maintaining the linkages between the application and a rigid relational database structure, resulting in faster pace of innovation for organizations. We also develop and maintain drivers in all leading programming languages, allowing developers to interact with our platform using the programming language of their choice, further increasing developer productivity. MongoDB has been named as one of the most desired database technologies for developers since Stack Overflow introduced databases as a category in their Annual Developer Survey in 2017.
We Built a Platform for Modern Applications.
Our founders were frustrated by the challenges and limitations of working with legacy database offerings. Our platform was built to address these challenges and limits while maintaining the best aspects of relational databases, allowing developers both to build new, modern applications that could not be built on relational databases and to more quickly and easily modernize existing applications.
Core features and benefits of our platform include:
•Versatility. Our developer data platform supports a broad range of workloads and offers our customers a host of features and services that complement our database offering. Our platform provides an integrated solution that precludes the need for single-purpose technologies and allows our customers to reduce the cost and back-end complexity of their application infrastructure, as well as increase the speed of innovation.

•Performance. We deliver the extreme throughput and predictable low-latency required by the most demanding applications, delivering millions of operations per second.
•Scalability. Our architecture scales horizontally across thousands of servers, supporting petabytes of data and millions of users in a globally distributed environment. It is easy to add capacity to our platform in a modular, predictable and cost-efficient manner. Applications can be run anywhere with our global multi-cloud reach.
•Flexibility and control. MongoDB's intelligent distributed systems architecture enables users to easily place data where their applications and users need it. MongoDB can be run within and across geographically distributed data centers and cloud regions, providing levels of scalability, workload isolation and data locality to meet today's modern application requirements.
•Reliability. Our platform includes the critical, advanced security features and fault-tolerance that enterprises demand. It was built to operate in a globally distributed environment for “always-on” applications. Our multi-cloud and global reach empowers applications to withstand regional outages while addressing the most demanding data security and privacy requirements.
We Allow Customers to Run Any Application Anywhere.
Our platform supports applications across a wide range of use cases and is easily configurable, allowing customers to adjust settings and parameters to optimize performance for a specific application and use case. Customers can run our platform in any environment, depending on their operational requirements: fully managed as a service or self-managed in the cloud, on-premises or in a hybrid environment. Customers can deploy our platform in any of the major public clouds, providing them with increased flexibility and cost-optimization opportunities by enabling public cloud vendor optionality. Our customers have a consistent experience regardless of infrastructure, providing optionality, flexibility, application and data portability.
Customers of Atlas, our multi-cloud offering, enjoy the benefits of using MongoDB as a service in the public cloud, further enabling developers to focus on their application performance and end-user experience, rather than the back-end infrastructure lifecycle management. With Atlas, organizations only have to manage how their applications use the database and are freed from the tasks of infrastructure provisioning, configuring operating systems, upgrading software and more.
Key Customer Benefits
Our platform delivers the following key business benefits for our customers:
•Maximize competitive advantage through software and data. Our platform is built to support modern applications, allowing organizations to harness the full power of software and data to drive competitive advantage.

MONGODB, INC.
MongoDB is the developer data platform company whose mission is to empower developers to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data. The foundation of our offering is the world’s leading, modern general purpose database. Organizations can deploy our database at scale in the cloud, on-premises, or in a hybrid environment. Built on our unique document-based architecture, our database is designed to handle unstructured data and meet the needs of organizations for performance, scalability, flexibility and reliability while maintaining the strengths of relational databases. In addition to the database, our developer data platform includes a set of, tightly integrated, capabilities such as search, time series, data lifecycle, application-driven analytics and stream processing that allow developers to address a broader range of application requirements. Our business model combines the developer mindshare and adoption benefits of open source with the economic benefits of a proprietary software subscription business model.
We generate revenue primarily from sales of subscriptions, which accounted for 97% of our total revenue during the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025.
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 Atlas Search, Vector Search, time series, data lifecycle, application-driven analytics and stream processing. During the three months ended April 30, 2026, Atlas revenue represented 75%, as compared to 72% of our total revenue during the three months ended April 30, 2025, respectively, reflecting the continued growth of Atlas since its introduction in June 2016. We have experienced strong growth in self-serve customers of Atlas, which are charged monthly in arrears based on their usage. We have also seen growth in 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 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 21% and 22% of our subscription revenue during the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, 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 750 million times since February 2009. We also offer a free tier of 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 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 Atlas and MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is to convert developers and their organizations who are already using Community Server or the free tier of 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 the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025. 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.
We compete in the database management software market, which is one of the largest in the software industry and growing. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC)’s Worldwide Database Management Systems Software Forecast, 2025-2029, the worldwide Database Management Software market was $93 billion in 2024, and is expected to grow to approximately $169 billion in 2029. This represents a 13% five-year compound annual growth rate. Over the last two years, a number of companies launched code assistant tools, which leverage generative AI to help developers write and test their code faster, thereby accelerating application development. We believe this acceleration in application development will further benefit the database management software market, by increasing the volume of new software and demand for scalable, flexible data platforms to manage the resulting growth of data.
We have experienced rapid growth and have made substantial investments in developing our platform and expanding our sales and marketing footprint. We intend to continue to invest to grow our business to take advantage of our market opportunity.

Macroeconomic and Other Factors
Our operational and financial performance is subject to risks including those caused by the adverse macroeconomic environment and the geopolitical landscape.
Adverse macroeconomic conditions include slower or negative economic growth and higher inflation. 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 Atlas applications in the short term.
We continue to monitor the developments of the macroeconomic environment and the geopolitical landscape. As these factors develop and we evaluate their impact on our business, we may adjust our business practices accordingly. For further discussion of the potential impacts of these factors on our business, operating results, and financial condition, see the section titled “Risk Factors” included in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Other factors affecting our performance are discussed below.
Share Repurchase Program
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 three months ended April 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 358,216 shares of common stock for $100.0 million. The average price per share for the three months ended April 30, 2026 was $285.25. All repurchases of common stock were made in open market transactions and recorded in treasury stock. As of April 30, 2026, the total remaining authorization under the Share Repurchase Program is $499.7 million.
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.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
Extending Product Leadership and Maintaining Developer Mindshare
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. Over the years, we have introduced additional features and functionality to Atlas, including Atlas Search, Atlas Vector Search, Atlas Data Federation, Atlas Charts, and Atlas Stream Processing, 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.
We intend to continue to invest in our engineering capabilities and marketing activities to maintain our strong position in the developer community. We have spent $3.4 billion on research and development since our inception. Our results of operations may fluctuate as we make these investments to drive increased customer adoption and usage.
Growing Our Customer Base and Expanding Our Global Reach
We are intensely focused on continuing to grow 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 April 30, 2026, we had over 67,700 customers across a wide range of industries and in over 100 countries, compared to over 57,100 customers as of April 30, 2025. All affiliated entities are counted as a single customer and our definition of “customer” excludes users of our free offerings.
15
MONGODB, INC.
We are also focused on increasing the number of overall Atlas customers as we emphasize the on-demand scalability of Atlas by allowing our customers to consume the product with minimal commitment. We had over 66,400 Atlas customers as of April 30, 2026 compared to over 55,800 as of April 30, 2025. The growth in Atlas customers included new customers to MongoDB and existing MongoDB Enterprise Advanced customers adding incremental Atlas workloads.
Retaining and Expanding Revenue from Existing Customers
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. 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”) 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 Atlas, by annualizing the prior 90 days of their actual usage of Atlas, assuming no increases or reductions in their subscriptions or usage. For all other customers of our self-serve products, we calculate ARR by annualizing the prior 30 days of their actual usage of such products, assuming no increases or reductions in usage. ARR excludes professional services. The number of customers with $100,000 or greater in ARR was 2,895 and 2,506 as of April 30, 2026 and 2025, 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. As of April 30, 2026, our net ARR expansion rate was 121%. 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.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Subscription Revenue. Our subscription revenue is comprised of database-as-a-service solutions and term licenses. Revenue from our 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.
Services Revenue. Services revenue is comprised of consulting and training services and is recognized over the period of delivery of the applicable services.
We expect our revenue may vary from period to period based on, among other things, the timing and size of new subscriptions, customer usage patterns, the proportion of term license contracts that commence within the period, the rate of customer renewals and expansions, delivery of professional services, the impact of significant transactions and seasonality of or fluctuations in usage from our Atlas customers.

MONGODB, INC.
Cost of Revenue
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 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.
Cost of Services Revenue. Cost of services revenue primarily includes personnel costs, including salaries, bonuses and benefits, and stock‑based compensation, for employees associated with our professional service contracts, as well as, travel costs, the costs of contracted third-party consultants, allocated shared costs and depreciation and amortization. We expect our cost of services revenue to increase in absolute dollars as our services revenue increases.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross Profit. Gross profit represents revenue less cost of revenue.
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.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses. Personnel costs are the most significant component of each category of operating expenses. Operating expenses also include travel and related costs and allocated overhead costs for facilities, information technology and employee benefit costs.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, sales commission and benefits, bonuses and stock‑based compensation. These expenses also include costs related to marketing programs, travel‑related expenses and allocated overhead. Marketing programs consist of advertising, events, corporate communications, and brand‑building and developer‑community activities. We expect our sales and marketing expense to increase in absolute dollars over time as we expand our sales force and increase our marketing resources, expand into new markets and further develop our self-serve and partner channels.
Research and Development. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, bonuses and benefits, and stock‑based compensation. It also includes amortization associated with intangible acquired assets and allocated overhead. We expect our research and development expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars, as we continue to invest in our developer data platform and develop new products.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, bonuses and benefits, and stock‑based compensation for administrative functions including finance, legal, human resources and external legal and accounting fees, as well as allocated overhead and the ongoing costs of compliance associated with being a publicly traded company. We expect general and administrative expense to increase in absolute dollars over time as we continue to invest in the growth of our business.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net consists primarily of interest income, interest expense, gains and losses on financial instruments, net and gains and losses from foreign currency transactions.
Provision for Income Taxes
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.
17
MONGODB, INC.
We account for income taxes and the related accounts under the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the basis differences reverse.
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. Refer to Note 10, Income Taxes, in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding the valuation allowance.

Total revenue growth reflects increased demand for our products and related services. Subscription revenue increased by $134.7 million primarily due to an increase in consumption of Atlas by our large existing customers as evidenced by our net ARR expansion rate of 121% as of April 30, 2026.

The increase in subscription cost of revenue was primarily due to a $28.5 million increase in third‑party cloud infrastructure costs, including costs associated with the growth of Atlas and an increase of $3.1 million in personnel costs. The increase in third-party cloud infrastructure costs was partially offset by continued cost efficiencies realized as we scale Atlas. The decrease in services cost of revenue was primarily due to a decrease in third-party consultant costs related to the delivery of consulting and training services.
Our overall gross margin increased to 72%. Our subscription gross margin decreased to 75% due to an increase in subscription cost of revenue from Atlas as a percentage of our total revenue. Services gross margin increased due to the impact of lower third-party consultant and training costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of April 30, 2026, our principal sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash totaling $2.4 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.
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 three months ended April 30, 2026, under the Share Repurchase Program, we repurchased 358,216 shares of common stock for $100.0 million. The average price per share for the three months ended April 30, 2026 was $285.25. Refer to Note 8, Equity, in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, and “Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer” included in Part II, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details.
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 $58.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026.
We have generated significant operating losses as reflected in our accumulated deficit of $1.9 billion as of April 30, 2026. 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.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended April 30, 2026 was $201.6 million, and reflects our net income of $4.4 million, adjusted by non-cash items such as $137.8 million of stock‑based compensation, $16.4 million of net realized and unrealized gains on financial instruments, $5.6 million of depreciation and amortization, and net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $67.6 million. The net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of an increase in cash collected from customers resulting from an increase in sales as evidenced through a net increase in cash of $73.1 million from changes in accounts receivable and deferred revenue. Additionally, a decrease of $12.2 million in deferred commissions primarily due to amortization exceeding current-period capitalization. Partially offsetting these benefits to our operating cash flow were increases in prepaid expenses and other assets of $12.3 million and a decrease of $2.3 million of accrued liabilities and accounts payable.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended April 30, 2025 was $109.9 million, driven primarily by an increase in our cash collections reflecting the overall growth of our sales and expansion of our customer base. Accordingly, our accounts receivable decreased by $79.9 million. In addition, our net loss of $37.6 million, includes non‑cash charges of $132.4 million for stock‑based compensation, $5.3 million for depreciation and amortization and other net non-cash charges of $1.5 million. Partially offsetting these benefits to our operating cash flow were a decrease in deferred revenue by $39.6 million, a decrease in accrued liabilities by $19.4 million and an increase in other long-term assets of $12.6 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2026 was $86.9 million, due to purchases of marketable securities, net of maturities, of $92.3 million, purchases of property and equipment of $2.3 million, partially offset by proceeds from non-marketable securities, net of investments made, of $7.7 million.
Net cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2025 was $51.6 million, due to proceeds from maturities of marketable securities, net of purchases, of $60.0 million, partially offset by cash used for investments in non-marketable securities of $4.8 million, payments related to a business combination, net of cash acquired of $2.0 million and purchases of property and equipment of $1.6 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2026 was $159.9 million, due to repurchases of common stock of $100.3 million and $58.3 million due to taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards.
Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2025 was $1.8 million, due to principal payments of finance leases of $2.4 million, partially offset by proceeds from the exercises of stock options of $0.6 million.
Seasonality
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 Atlas revenue is recorded on a consumption basis and varies with usage, inclusive of seasonal variability. As Atlas revenue continues to increase as a percentage of total revenue, these fluctuations may have a greater impact on our results of operations.
