    "excerpt": "GitLab Inc. (NASDAQ: GTLB ) reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $286.3 million, up 21% year over year, as gross bookings reached a company record. Annual recurring revenue, or ARR, is the annualized run rate of subscription revenue at period end and excludes professional services. GitLab Inc. (NASDAQ:GTLB) defines Net ARR as the change in ARR between periods on a bookings basis, measured by opportunity close date. Quarterly Net ARR grew more than 40%, which does not mean total ending ARR grew at that rate. Dollar-based net retention was 117%, the same rounded figure as the first quarter. GitLab Inc. (NASDAQ:GTLB) said the underlying rate accelerated sequentially, although it declined from 121% one year earlier. Customers generating more than $100,000 of ARR increased 17% to 1,571. Current remaining performance obligations, or contracted revenue expected to be recognized within 12 months, rose 20% to $744.7 million. Total remaining performance obligations increased 16% to $1.2 billion. Record bookings and management-reported sequential improvement in dollar-based net retention create a credible path to future subscription revenue. First orders more than doubled, while first-order Net ARR grew nearly 40%. Deals worth at least $500,000 increased more than 150%, and the Ultimate tier reached 59% of ARR after growing approximately 35%. AI and consumption products are gaining...",
