| Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 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 2027 and 2026 refer to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027 and the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, 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, stock-based compensation, 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, realizability of deferred income tax assets, reserves for unrecognized income tax benefits, and impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets. 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 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. Segment Reporting The Company derives revenue globally and manages its business activities on a consolidated basis. The Company’s primary offering is GitLab, an intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps 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 consolidated statements of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. The Company presents financial information about geographical mix of revenue in “Note 3. Revenues” of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
