GitLab’s second-quarter revenue jumps 21% as AI demand drives bookings

GitLab's second-quarter revenue surged 21% year-over-year, reaching $286.3 million, as demand for its software development and security platform surged due to the growing adoption of artificial intelligence. The company's adjusted earnings per diluted share remained steady at 24 cents, while adjusted operating income rose to $42.6 million.

GitLab's push to capitalize on AI in software development is evident in its first-order growth exceeding 100% year-over-year and net annual recurring revenue growth exceeding 40%. The company also reported a strong customer expansion, with the number of customers generating more than $100,000 in annual recurring revenue increasing by 17% to 1,571, and those generating more than $5,000 growing by 8% to 11,114.

GitLab's investment in AI capabilities, such as the GitLab Orbit platform and GitLab Secrets Manager, has shown promising results, with internal testing indicating the unified context graph enabling AI agents to respond up to 11 times faster and with up to 45% fewer hallucinations.
