Couchbase, Inc. carries a low D/E ratio of 0.96, meaning only $0.96 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 76/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

For every $1 of reported earnings, Couchbase, Inc. generates $0.21 in operating cash flow (-$15.8M OCF vs -$74.7M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.
