Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed September 17, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
On September 17, 2025, MongoDB, Inc. (MDB) filed this Form 8-K under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) to furnish the presentation materials from its Investor Day, held that day via webcast.
The filing itself contains no new financial results or guidance changes; the substance is in Exhibit 99.1, the investor presentation, which the company says was used by its leadership team (CEO Dev Ittycheria, CTO Jim Scharf, CFO Mike Berry, CMO May Petry, and SVP Fred Roma) to discuss strategy for sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value. The information is furnished, not filed, for Section 18 purposes. The presentation's central messages are that the company's market is large and growing (IDC data management software market figures shown from $105 billion in 2024 to $93 billiona in 2025 and $65 billion in 2028 in the deck's series, with the company stating its market is greater than $100 billion), that AI expands its addressable market, that its document model differentiates it against relational databases, and that the Application Modernization Platform (AMP) is an incremental growth driver.
Management reiterated that it is pursuing an OLTP market where it holds roughly 2% share on $2Bb+ of revenue. The presentation also set out long-term financial targets on a non-GAAP basis: high-teens average revenue growth, operating margin of 20%+ in the long-term model time frame, and FCF conversion of 80%+ over a 3-5 year period, alongside 100-200 basis points of average annual operating margin expansion. It presented updated fiscal 2026 guidance, with total revenue of $2,340 to $2,360 million and operating income of $321 to $331 million, and disclosed that first-half cash conversion was 104%.
