GitLab Q3 FY2023 results

GitLab Q3 results are out and they are a beat and raise. Elevated year on year growth and solid sequential growth (all organic) and consistent QoQ revenue addition and with a similar beat as previous quarter.

Growth is coming down but gradually, (75%, 73%, 69%). Net expansion continues above 130%.

Leverage is definitely there and whilst they have yet to reach positive Non GAAP operating margin, they are making strides.

A couple of new product/feature launches were mentioned in the release and earnings call including: GitLab Govern and TeamOps, with GitLab Dedicated for next year.

They are feeling macro a little but still have great pipeline visibility and are able to land and expand effectively. They consider macro to be a mix of headwinds and tailwinds.

Expectations for FY2024 is for revenue growth of 40% or greater, which given guidance from other fast growing tech companies doesn’t feel too bad. They are targeting free cash flow for FY2025.
