2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Fiscal Year
The Company's fiscal year ends on January 31. For example, references to fiscal year 2026 and 2025 refer to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026 and the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, allocation of revenue to the license element in the Company's self-managed subscriptions, estimating the amortization period for capitalized costs to obtain a contract, allowance for doubtful accounts, taxation of intangible property in company formation, merger, or acquisition transactions, valuation allowance for deferred income taxes, reserves for unrecognized income tax benefits, valuation of acquired intangibles assets and impairment of goodwill. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include 100% of the accounts of wholly owned subsidiaries as well as a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The ownership interest of other investors is recorded as noncontrolling interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There were no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies disclosed in “Note 2” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K f or the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.
Segment Reporting
The Company derives revenue globally and manages its business activities on a consolidated basis. The Company’s primary offering is GitLab, a complete DevSecOps platform delivered as a single application which is offered on both self-managed and SaaS models.
The Company operates its business as one operating and reportable segment as the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Company’s CEO, reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.
The Company’s CODM primarily uses consolidated net loss as the measure of profit or loss to facilitate analysis of the Company’s financial trends, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Consolidated expense information is included on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as total assets.

The Company presents financial information about geographical mix of revenue in “ Note 3. Revenues” of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Revision of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, in connection with the Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, the Company identified errors related to the understatement of certain tax liabilities associated with the formation of our joint venture, JiHu in February 2021. The Company concluded that the impact of the errors on previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements were immaterial. However, the Company has revised the prior-period condensed consolidated financial statements to correct these errors.
The following tables summarize the revisions of previously-issued condensed consolidated financial statements (in thousands) for the periods presented:
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss
Three Months Ended October 31, 2024 Nine Months Ended October 31, 2024
As Previously Reported Adjustment As Revised As Previously Reported Adjustment As Revised
Other income, net $ 4,992 $ ( 193 ) $ 4,799 $ 5,457 $ ( 287 ) $ 5,170
Loss before income taxes ( 11,154 ) ( 193 ) ( 11,347 ) ( 80,477 ) ( 287 ) ( 80,764 )
Benefit from income taxes ( 39,421 ) 269 ( 39,152 ) ( 66,131 ) 801 ( 65,330 )
Net income (loss) $ 28,267 $ ( 462 ) $ 27,805 $ ( 14,346 ) $ ( 1,088 ) $ ( 15,434 )
Net income (loss) attributable to GitLab 29,565 ( 462 ) 29,103 ( 12,130 ) ( 1,088 ) ( 13,218 )
Foreign currency translation adjustments ( 5,637 ) ( 155 ) ( 5,792 ) ( 8,183 ) ( 165 ) ( 8,348 )
Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to GitLab $ 23,999 $ ( 617 ) $ 23,382 $ ( 19,461 ) $ ( 1,253 ) $ ( 20,714 )
Impacted financial statement line items appearing in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity have also been revised accordingly. Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the above periods were not impacted by this immaterial correction of an error. However, net loss was revised, as shown above, with an offset to the prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued expenses and other current liabilities captions within operating activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Accordingly, a revision table for the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows is not included.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (“Subtopic 350-40”): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This ASU amends the guidance in ASC 350-40 to reflect that software is not always developed in a linear manner, removing all references to development stages and adding new guidance on how to evaluate whether the probable-to-complete threshold has been met. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

On October 28, 2024, the Company paid $ 187.7 million to satisfy the tax assessment issued by the DTA, including accrued interest, which reflected the BAPA negotiations and the agreement to reduce the rate of tax on the gain from the transfer of economic IP rights. As a result of the BAPA and the DTA assessment, the 2015 through 2017 tax years are closed for GitLab B.V., the Company’s Netherlands subsidiary. Pursuant to the terms in the BAPA, the Company has filed amended returns for the 2018 through 2023 fiscal years.
The Company's provision for income taxes is based on its worldwide estimated annualized effective tax rate, except for jurisdictions for which a loss is expected for the year and no benefit can be realized for those losses, jurisdictions for which forecasted pre-tax income or loss cannot be estimated, and the tax effect of discrete items occurring during the period. The tax for jurisdictions that are excluded from the worldwide estimated annual effective tax rate is calculated separately.
Under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, the determination of the Company’s ability to recognize its deferred tax asset requires an assessment of both negative and positive evidence when determining the Company’s ability to recognize its deferred tax assets. As in prior years, the Company maintained that it was not more likely than not that the Company could recognize deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions. All attributes agreed upon in the BAPA, including U.S. federal and state tax net operating losses (“NOLs”) and credits, as well as Netherlands NOLs, are not yet recognized due to the determination that they are not more likely than not to be realized. The evidence evaluated by the Company included operating results during the most recent three-year period and future projections. More weight was given to historical results than to expectations of future profitability, which are inherently uncertain. Certain entities’ net losses in recent periods represented sufficient negative evidence to require a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. This valuation allowance will be evaluated periodically and could be reversed partially or totally if business results have sufficiently improved to support realization of deferred tax assets.
As of October 31, 2025 , unrecognized tax benefits were $ 30.2 million, of which $ 10.4 million would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. As of January 31, 2025, the unrecognized tax benefits were $ 25.6 million, of which $ 9.5 million would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the timing of the remaining long-term payments or the amount by which the liability will increase or decrease.
It is the Company's policy to classify accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. Accrued interest and penalties were $ 6.6 million as of October 31, 2025 and $ 5.3 million as of January 31, 2025, respectively.

As of October 31, 2025 , the Company’s U.S. federal 2018 through 2024 tax years were open and subject to potential examination in one or more jurisdictions. In addition, in the United States, any net operating losses or credits that were generated in prior years but not yet fully utilized in a year that is closed under the statute of limitations may also be subject to examination. The Company’s Netherlands tax years are currently open from tax years 2018 to 2024, subject to adjustments as a result of the recently negotiated BAPA. The Company believes that it has adequately reserved for the outcome of the BAPA. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from all existing and potential examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. The Company continues to monitor the progress of ongoing discussions with tax authorities and the effect, if any, of the expected expiration of the statute of limitations in various taxing jurisdictions.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
The Company’s purchase oblig ations of $ 242.6 million as of October 31, 2025 , represent third-party non-cancelable hosting infrastructure agreements, subscription arrangements and other commitments used in the ordinary course of business to meet operational requirements. During the nine months ended October 31, 2025, we entered into two new cloud infrastructure agreements. The first is a five-year agreement with $ 130 million in total minimum commitments, with annual amounts ranging from $ 17.3 million to $ 36.3 million. The second is a one-year contract with $ 42.5 million in annual minimum commitments.
Loss Contingencies
In accordance with ASC 450, Loss Contingencies, the Company accrues for contingencies when losses become probable and reasonably estimable. Accordingly, the Company has recorded an estimated liability related to certain labor matters regarding its use of contractors in certain foreign countries. As of October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, the estimated liability relating to these matters was $ 1.6 million and $ 1.4 million recorded in other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.
Warranties and Indemnifications
The Company enters into service level agreements with customers which warrant defined levels of uptime and support response times and permit those customers to receive credits for prepaid amounts in the event that those performance and response levels are not met. To date, the Company has not experienced any significant failures to meet defined levels of performance and response. In connection with the service level agreements, the Company has not incurred any significant costs and has not accrued any liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which the Company agrees to provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the breach of such agreements, intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties, and other liabilities relating to or arising from the Company’s platform or the Company’s acts or omissions. In these circumstances, payment may be conditional on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, the Company’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments.
In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify its directors and executive officers for costs associated with any fees, expenses, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by any of these

persons in any action or proceeding to which any of those persons is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of the person’s service as a director or officer, including any action by the Company, arising out of that person’s services as the Company’s director or officer or that person’s services provided to any other company or enterprise at the Company’s request. The Company maintains director and officer insurance coverage that may enable the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.
Legal Proceedings
GitLab Securities Class Action and Shareholder Derivative Cases
On September 4, 2024, a putative class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Dolly v. GitLab et al., Case No. 24-cv-06244-EKL (“Dolly”), naming the Company and certain of its officers. The complaint purports to assert claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), SEC Rule 10b-5, and Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act, on behalf of persons and entities who acquired our common stock between June 5, 2023 and June 3, 2024 (the “Class Period”). Plaintiff alleges that, during the Class Period, defendants made material misrepresentations or omissions regarding, among other things, the Company’s use of AI features and ability to monetize the Company’s AI capabilities that artificially inflated the Company’s stock price. Plaintiff seeks, among other things, damages in an unspecified amount, as well as fees and costs. Plaintiff amended his complaint on February 5, 2025 and March 7, 2025, and we moved to dismiss the second amended complaint in April 2025. On August 14, 2025, the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss with leave for the Plaintiff to amend and refile a third amended complaint. On September 8, 2025, the Plaintiff filed a stipulation stating that he had decided not to file an amended complaint or to appeal the motion to dismiss order, and asked the Court to dismiss his claims with prejudice and enter final judgment in favor of the defendants.
Three putative shareholder derivative cases have been filed containing allegations based on or similar to those in the securities class action. The cases were filed on February 14, 2025, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Preciado v. Sijbrandij et al., Case No. 25-cv-01597 (“Preciado”); on February 19, 2025 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Jones v. Sijbrandij et al., Case No. 25-cv-01735 (“Jones”); and on March 28, 2025 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Lianto v. Sijbrandij et al., Case No. 25-cv-02924 (“Lianto”). Each of the three cases are allegedly brought on the Company’s behalf. Each of the lawsuits name the Company as a nominal defendant, and also certain of the Company’s officers and current and former members of the Company’s board of directors. The Jones complaint purports to assert claims under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act as well as breach of fiduciary duty, while the Preciado and Lianto complaints purport to assert those claims as well as unjust enrichment and related corporate torts. The complaints seek to recover unspecified damages and other relief on the Company’s behalf. As of May 2025, proceedings in each of these three putative shareholder derivative cases have been stayed during the pendency of the Dolly matter.
Based on the preliminary nature of the proceedings in these derivative actions, the outcomes remain uncertain and the Company cannot estimate the potential impact, if any, on its business or financial statements at this time.
In addition to the shareholder matters described above, the Company is, and from time to time may become, involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not presently a party to any legal proceedings that in the opinion of management, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results.
Defending such proceedings is costly and can impose a significant burden on management and team members. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

14. Subsequent Event
On November 25, 2025, the Company entered into a Right of First Refusal Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kilo Code, Inc. (“Kilo”), an affiliate of Sytse Sijbrandij, the executive chair of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company's Audit Committee reviewed and approved the Agreement.
The Agreement grants the Company a right of first refusal, for certain cash consideration, if Kilo receives a bona fide third-party acquisition proposal that it intends to accept or negotiate exclusively before August 24, 2026. The Company has 10 business days after receiving the offer to exercise its right to pursue the transaction on substantially matching terms. If the Company declines, Kilo may proceed with the third party.
