It realized a 30% increase in new logo growth -- i.e., acquiring new customers -- in the quarter, while its dollar-based net retention was 117% over the past 12 months, showing strong growth within its customer base. The company said it was seeing rising demand from non-technical users, while it also recorded nearly $20 million in consumption revenue from its Duo Agentic Platform.Overall revenue climbed 23% year over year to $264.2 million. That was well above the company's guidance for revenue of $253 million to $255 million. Subscription revenue increased by 23% year over year to $239.3 million, while license revenue jumped by 25% to $24.9 million.The company continues to focus on enterprise customers, where it is seeing the strongest growth. The number of customers with $100,000 or more in annual recurring revenue (ARR) rose by 18% to 1,519, making up 75% of its ARR. Meanwhile, customers with $5,000 or more in ARR now represent 95% of its business.Looking ahead, GitLab upped its full-year guidance. It now expects full-year fiscal 2027 revenue of $1.112 billion to $1.118 billion, representing growth of 16% to 17%, and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) in the range of $0.79 to $0.82. That's up from a prior forecast for revenue of $1.099 billion to $1.118 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.76 to $0.80.For fiscal Q2, it forecast revenue to be between $272 million and $274 million, representing approximately 16% growth at the midpoint. It guided for adjusted EPS of between $0.17 and $0.18.The company also announced that it is slashing about 14% of its workforce and exiting 22 countries as it flattens its organizational structure. This will not impact sales rep numbers, which it has been increasing. It expects the impact of more quota-carrying sales reps to start to have a positive impact in the second half of the year.Terms and Privacy PolicyPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore Info
