GitLab recently released its latest 10-Q report. GitLab Inc. develops software for the software development lifecycle across the United States, Europe and Asia Pacific, and sells the GitLab platform, which combines planning, code, security, compliance and deployment functions in a single application. It also offers the GitLab Duo Agent Platform, related training and professional services, and is based in San Francisco.

In Item 2, management says the company’s results should be read alongside the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes, and that historical performance may not predict future periods. GitLab frames its business around a unified DevSecOps platform built to coordinate development, operations, IT, security and business teams, while also enabling AI agents to execute tasks across the software lifecycle. The company says its open-core model allows customers and contributors to extend the product, and that users contributed more than 6,500 merge requests in calendar 2025.

GitLab says it has more than 50 million registered users and that about 50% of the Fortune 100 are customers. Base Customers rose to 11,114 as of July 31, 2026 from 10,338 a year earlier, while $100,000 ARR customers increased to 1,571 from 1,344. Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate fell to 117% from 121%.

The company says it has released enhancements every month for 178 straight months as of July 31, 2026. It also says it continues to invest in research and development, expects R&D expense to rise in absolute dollars, and plans to add headcount in sales, marketing and support to expand its customer base in the U.S. and internationally. GitLab says it offers self-managed deployments, SaaS, and GitLab Dedicated for single-tenant use, and introduced GitLab Flex in June 2026, allowing customers to shift a single annual commitment across seats, AI usage and add-ons without contract amendments. As a result of these announcements, the company's shares have moved 14.81% on the market, and are now trading at a price of $51.77.
