Gitlab Inc - Class A
Q3 2023 Earnings
Did GTLB Beat Earnings? Q3 2023 Results
GitLab posted a notably strong third quarter of fiscal 2023, beating Wall Street on both the top and bottom lines as 69.1% year-over-year revenue growth to $112.98 million came in ahead of the $106.05 million consensus estimate. The DevOps platform also reported a non-GAAP loss of $0.10 per share, clearing the $0.15 consensus estimate by 33.33%, with the improvement driven in large part by a roughly 1,700 basis point year-over-year gain in non-GAAP operating margin as the company scaled its subscription business, which alone contributed $98.44 million in revenue. Management attributed the momentum to enterprises consolidating fragmented development toolchains onto a single platform, a trend CEO Sid Sijbrandij argued is accelerating amid cost-cutting pressures across the industry. Customers spending more than $100,000 in annual recurring revenue grew 49% to 638, underscoring durable expansion within the installed base. Looking ahead, GitLab guided Q4 revenue of $119.00 million to $120.00 million, with full fiscal year 2023 revenue expected in the range of $420.50 million to $421.50 million.
