Insights

Couchbase delivered solid Q2 results with 12% revenue growth and improving margins amid pending acquisition by Haveli Investments.

Couchbase delivered strong financial results in Q2 2026, exceeding the high end of their outlook across all metrics. Total revenue reached $57.6 million, up 12% year-over-year, with subscription revenue also growing 12% to $55.4 million. More impressively, annual recurring revenue (ARR) hit $260.5 million, increasing 22% YoY (or 21% on a constant currency basis).

The company maintained healthy gross margins at 88.2% on a non-GAAP basis, showing remarkable stability compared to 88.3% in the same quarter last year. While Couchbase still operates at a loss, the company's operating efficiency is improving. The non-GAAP operating loss narrowed to $2.6 million from $4.1 million in Q2 fiscal 2025, representing a 37% improvement.

Cash flow metrics show gradual improvement in operational efficiency. Cash used in operations decreased to $3.5 million from $4.9 million a year ago. However, with $3.8 million in capital expenditures, free cash flow remained negative at $7.3 million.

The dollar-based Net Retention Rate exceeding 115% indicates strong customer expansion and low churn, a critical metric for SaaS businesses. Combined with the 25% growth in remaining performance obligations (RPO) to $270.7 million, these figures suggest solid momentum in Couchbase's business despite the pending acquisition by Haveli Investments.

The company continues to innovate with new product offerings like Enterprise Analytics for self-managed customers and expanding partnerships with major cloud providers AWS and Google, positioning Couchbase strategically in the AI infrastructure market. These developments should help maintain growth momentum as the acquisition process continues.

Couchbase is executing effectively on their developer data platform strategy, particularly in positioning themselves for the emerging AI application ecosystem. Their recent product launch of Enterprise Analytics for self-managed customers addresses a critical need for real-time JSON-native analytics across deployment models. This capability allows organizations to gain insights from operational data without performance degradation—solving a persistent challenge in database management.

The strategic ecosystem expansions with AWS and Google Cloud are particularly noteworthy. Being featured in AWS Marketplace's AI Agents category and gaining official support in Google's MCP Toolbox positions Couchbase at the intersection of database technology and AI application development. These integrations reduce friction for developers building AI-powered applications and should accelerate adoption.

The partnership with K2view for synthetic data generation directly addresses one of the most significant challenges in enterprise AI development—access to representative yet compliant training data. This solution helps organizations overcome regulatory hurdles while accelerating AI development cycles.

Their Confluent Cloud connector further demonstrates Couchbase's commitment to the event-driven architecture paradigm, which is increasingly important for real-time applications. By handling the infrastructure complexity, Couchbase is making it easier for developers to build reactive applications that respond instantly to data changes.

The industry recognitions from Database Trends and Applications validate Couchbase's technical approach and market positioning. Overall, these technical initiatives show a cohesive strategy to position Couchbase as a critical infrastructure component for modern AI-enhanced applications, making the company an attractive acquisition target for Haveli Investments.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Couchbase, Inc. (NASDAQ: BASE), the developer data platform for critical applications in our AI world, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended July 31, 2025.

"We had a great second quarter with all metrics exceeding the high end of our outlook," said Matt Cain, Chair, President and CEO of Couchbase. "I'm pleased with our team's execution in the quarter and continued work toward closing the transaction with Haveli Investments."

A copy of the press release and supplemental materials can be found on the "Investors" page of our website at https://investors.couchbase.com and on the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, website at http://www.sec.gov. Additional details and information about the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement are available in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 20, 2025. Given the announced transaction, we will not be hosting an earnings conference call nor providing financial guidance in conjunction with this press release.

Discover why Couchbase is the foundation of critical everyday applications by visiting www.couchbase.com and following us on LinkedIn and X.

Couchbase has used, and intends to continue using, its investor relations website and the corporate blog at www.couchbase.com/blog to disclose material non-public information and to comply with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Accordingly, you should monitor our investor relations website and the corporate blog in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings and public conference calls and webcasts.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we believe certain non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance. We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, collectively, to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance and meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. Non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures (provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release), and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share: We define these non-GAAP financial measures as their respective GAAP measures, excluding expenses related to stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions, restructuring charges, impairment of capitalized internal-use software, and business development activities. We use these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP measures to assess our performance, including in the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance.

Free cash flow: We define free cash flow as cash provided by or used in operating activities less additions to property and equipment, which includes capitalized internal-use software costs. We believe free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity that provides our management, board of directors and investors with information about our future ability to generate or use cash to enhance the strength of our balance sheet and further invest in our business and pursue potential strategic initiatives.

Please see the reconciliation tables at the end of this press release for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results.

Key Business Metrics

We review a number of operating and financial metrics, including ARR, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions.

We define ARR as of a given date as the annualized recurring revenue that we would contractually receive from our customers in the month ending 12 months following such date. Based on historical experience with customers, we assume all contracts will be renewed at the same levels unless we receive notification of non-renewal and are no longer in negotiations prior to the measurement date. For Capella products, ARR in a customer's initial year is calculated as the greater of: (i) initial year contract revenue as described above or (ii) annualized prior 90 days of actual consumption; and ARR for subsequent years is calculated with method (ii). ARR excludes services revenue.

ARR should be viewed independently of revenue, and does not represent our revenue under GAAP on an annualized basis, as it is an operating metric that can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal dates. ARR is not intended to be a replacement for forecasts of revenue. Although we seek to increase ARR as part of our strategy of targeting large enterprise customers, this metric may fluctuate from period to period based on our ability to acquire new customers, expand within our existing customers and consumption dynamics. We believe that ARR is an important indicator of the growth and performance of our business.

NRR for any period equals the simple arithmetic average of our quarterly dollar-based net retention rate for the four quarters ending with the most recent fiscal quarter. To calculate our dollar-based net retention rate for a given quarter, we start with the ARR ("Base ARR") attributable to our customers ("Base Customers") as of the end of the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. We then determine the ARR attributable to the Base Customers as of the end of the most recent quarter and divide that amount by the Base ARR.

We also attempt to represent the changes in the underlying business operations by eliminating fluctuations caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates within the current period. We calculate constant currency growth rates by applying the applicable prior period exchange rates to current period results.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws that are based on management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our expectations with respect to the merger, assumptions, quotations of management, statements about the expected client demand for and benefits of our offerings, the impact of our recently-released and planned products and services and our market position, strategies and potential market opportunities. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and, in some cases, can be identified by terms such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "could," "would," "intend," "target," "project," "forecast," "contemplate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "seek," "pursue," "potential," "ready," or "continue" or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms. However, not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including factors beyond our control, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to: the pendency of the merger and our ability to complete the merger in a timely manner or at all, including the risk that our stock price may fluctuate and may decline if the merger is not completed; potential litigation and the outcome of any legal proceedings related to the merger; the response of competitors and other market participants to the merger; the risk that potential disruptions related to the merger will harm our current plans, operations and business relationships, including through the loss of customers and employees; unexpected costs, fees, expenses and other charges we may incur as a result of the merger; our history of net losses and ability to achieve or maintain profitability in the future; our ability to continue to grow on pace with historical rates; our ability to manage our growth effectively; intense competition and our ability to compete effectively; cost-effectively acquiring new customers or obtaining renewals, upgrades or expansions from our existing customers; the market for our products and services being highly competitive and evolving, and our future success depending on the growth and expansion of this market; our ability to innovate in response to changing customer needs, new technologies or other market requirements, including new capabilities, programs and partnerships and their impact on our customers and our business; our limited operating history, which makes it difficult to predict our future results of operations; the significant fluctuation of our future results of operations and ability to meet the expectations of analysts or investors; our significant reliance on revenue from subscriptions, which may decline and, the recognition of a significant portion of revenue from subscriptions over the term of the relevant subscription period, which means downturns or upturns in sales are not immediately reflected in full in our results of operations; and the impact of geopolitical and macroeconomic factors.

Further information on risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from forecasted results are included in our filings with the SEC that we may file from time to time, including those more fully described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2025 and in our Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on July 29, 2025. Additional information will be made available in our Annual Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter year ended July 31, 2025 that will be filed with the SEC, which should be read in conjunction with this press release and the financial results included herein. Any forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons if actual results differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
