You state in your response to prior comment 22 that you have had “consistent renewals” and steady retention in your annual subscription base. As previously requested, please tell us the renewal rates for your annual and multi-year subscription agreements to support your assumption that such agreements will be renewed on existing terms and should be included in the calculation of annualized recurring revenue. Also, please move your key business metric disclosures to the forepart of MD&A to add further context to the results of operations discussion that follows.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff’s that for the year ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 MariaDB’s renewal rates were approximately [***]% and [***]%, respectively, for its annual contractual arrangements and approximately [***]% and [***]%, respectively, for its multi-year contractual arrangements.

For the period ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, MariaDB’s renewal rates were approximately [***]% and [***]%, respectively for its annual contractual arrangements and approximately [***]% and [***]%, respectively, for its multi-year contractual arrangements.

4.

We note your response to prior comment 27 regarding your product offerings. Please clarify for us whether the MariaDB MaxScale and MariaDB ColumnStore limited source BSL licenses are available to the public for free without entering into a MariaDB Enterprise arrangement. Further, you note that a BSL license automatically converts to a GPL open source license after a period of time. Explain whether this conversion impacts the availability of the license to be used for free. Also, since Xpand is a proprietary license, tell us how this is accounted for in the MariaDB Enterprise arrangements and how much revenue was recognized for this product for each period presented.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that MariaDB MaxScale is available for free use with the MariaDB Community Server without a contractual commitment under the MariaDB Enterprise subscription arrangement. Accordingly, the user may use products licensed under BSL without needing a subscription to the MariaDB Enterprise product offering. When used with MariaDB Community Server, the user has access to MariaDB MaxScale with functionality limited to two database nodes.

In addition, MariaDB ColumnStore is also available for free with limited functionality on the MariaDB Community Server without entering into a MariaDB Enterprise subscription arrangement. Under the ColumnStore BSL license, the user has limited functionality. This includes no options to deploy multi-node set ups, which allow the user greater scalability and availability.

Further, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that the BSL source code is always available for free; thus, a user may use products licensed under BSL without needing a subscription to a MariaDB product offering and may utilize the source code in a non-production test and development environment.

Xpand is a MariaDB proprietary license that may be utilized by the customer in conjunction with MariaDB Enterprise and MariaDB SkySQL product offerings. MariaDB is undertaking strategic initiatives to market Xpand under the MariaDB SkySQL product offering. MariaDB believes revenue recognized for MariaDB Enterprise with Xpand in the periods presented is immaterial. MariaDB has accounted for Xpand and MariaDB Enterprise product offering as a combined performance obligation and will continue to monitor and assess its growth to determine if revenue remains immaterial. MariaDB’s long-term strategy for Xpand is focused on the use under the SkySQL product offering and MariaDB maintains the expectations that MariaDB Enterprise with Xpand to remain immaterial in future periods.

MariaDB Enterprise and Xpand are sold and marketed as a combined product offering and as such, the Company does not separately track Xpand from the MariaDB Enterprise product offering. The following amounts associated with Xpand also include revenue attributable to PCS from MariaDB Enterprise. Accordingly, the Company believes Xpand revenue, stand alone from MariaDB Enterprise, to be considerably less. For the year ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, Xpand with MariaDB Enterprise generated revenue of approximately $[***] million and $[***] million, respectively. For both periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, Xpand with MariaDB Enterprise generated revenue of approximately $[***] million.

 

5.

We note your revised disclosure where you state that the open source term licenses may only be sold as an integrated solution with PCS. Please further revise as this appears to indicate the licenses are sold and are not available for free, whether obtained separate from or included in your subscription arrangements.

The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies has been revised on page F-57 of the Registration Statement to remove the indication that open source licenses are sold as an integration solution.

 

6.

Your disclosures on page F-57 state that some of your contracts contain multiple performance obligations such as the license portion of the term software licenses bundled with PCS, professional services, and database-as-a-service offerings. Please tell us and revise to clarify whether your licenses: open source, limited source, and proprietary, are considered separate performance obligations in your arrangements and which of those you are referring to in this disclosure.

In response to the Staff’s comment, Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting policies has been revised on page F-58 of the Registration Statement to clarify that open source and limited source software is integrated with the combined PCS performance obligation.

Note. 3 Revenue, page F-62

 

7.

We note your revised disclosures both here and on page F-87 in response to prior comment 31 where you indicate that approximately 49% of the respective remaining performance obligation amounts will be recognized over the next twelve months. Please further revise to state when the other 51% will be recognized on a quantitative basis or by providing qualitative information. Refer to ASC 606-10-50-13.

The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and Note 3 – Revenue has been revised to qualitatively disclose the remaining performance obligation as of the periods presented. Such revision was further reflected in the MariaDB Management’s Discussion & Analysis, Deferred Revenue, on page 255 of the Registration Statement.

Note 13. Income Tax, page F-73

 

8.

We note your revisions in response to prior comment 34. It appears certain line items in the breakdown of the Income before provision (benefit) for income taxes table have been mislabeled. Please revise. Also, with regard to the rate reconciliation table, revise to explain what the tax credit and return to provision line items relate to.

Exhibits

 

9.

We note your response to prior comment 38. Given that APHC intends for the Domestication to qualify as an F Reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the disclosure includes a representation as to the material tax consequences, please support such conclusions with an opinion of counsel pursuant to Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K. Counsel’s opinion should also address the uncertainty associated with the passive foreign investment company rules.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has included as exhibit 8.1 an opinion of counsel pursuant to Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K.
