(GTLB), a software development platform, is set to IPO soon. At the midpoint, the firm would have a valuation of $8.2 billion and earn our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newconstructs.com\/stock-rating-methodology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unattractive<\/a>&nbsp;rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GitLab is a subscription based SAAS company with a large total addressable market (TAM), which may entice investors. However, the firm sells to only a tiny portion of its TAM and is competing against some of the largest technology companies in the world. With worst-in-class fundamentals and an already overpriced valuation, we have significant concerns regarding the stock&#8217;s profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe the stock is worth less, approximately 91% below the midpoint of the expected price range. An $8 billion valuation implies that GitLab will achieve very optimistic milestones, including reversing a downward trend in profits, growing revenue by more than 17x, and nearly tripling its current market share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With only ~21 months of cash to cover its current cash burn rate, GitLab\u2019s current owners need this IPO to help the company avoid bankruptcy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-freemium-model-is-not-profitable\"><strong>Freemium Model Is Not Profitable<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>GitLab\u2019s model for growing revenue is based on the freemium model: gain users with a free version of its software and convert those users to paying members. As of June 2021, GitLab had 30 million free users with just 15,356 paying users.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, GitLab has converted less than 1% of its user base, which is well below the average&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rockcontent.com\/blog\/freemium-conversion-rate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">estimated freemium conversion rate<\/a>&nbsp;of 2-5%. Most of these converted users are also on lower priced, less profitable plans. GitLab notes that it has 3,632 \u201cbase customers\u201d, which generate more than $5,000 in annual recurring revenue (ARR). It discloses only 383 customers generating $100,000+ in ARR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This model has proven capable of driving revenue growth, as GitLab\u2019s revenue grew 87% year-over-year (YoY) in fiscal 2021. However,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newconstructs.com\/education-core-earnings-earnings-distortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Core Earnings<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newconstructs.com\/gitlab-another-overpriced-tech-company\/#_ftn1\">[1]<\/a>&nbsp;fell from -$125 million to -$213 million over the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Figure 1: GitLab\u2019s Revenue &amp; Core Earnings: 2019-2020<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"266\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/newconstrcuts_10-14-21_1.png\" alt=\"GitLab\u2019s Revenue &amp; Core Earnings: 2019-2020\" class=\"wp-image-107084 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/newconstrcuts_10-14-21_1.png 630w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/newconstrcuts_10-14-21_1-300x127.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 630px; aspect-ratio: 630\/266;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources: New Constructs, LLC and company filings<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GitLab\u2019s strategy is clearly focused on growing its top line and forgoing profitability for now. While GitLab\u2019s net operating profit after-tax (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newconstructs.com\/education-net-operating-profit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NOPAT<\/a>) margin improved slightly from -158% in fiscal 2020 to -141% in fiscal 2021, it remains highly negative. Additionally, the firm\u2019s return on invested capital (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newconstructs.com\/return-on-invested-capital-roic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ROIC<\/a>) declined from -41% to -76% over the same time. GitLab\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newconstructs.com\/education\/education-close-the-loopholes\/education-economic-earnings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">economic earnings<\/a>, the true measure of cash flows, declined from -$149 million in fiscal 2020 to -$229 million in fiscal 2021. Despite growing its top line, GitLab is destroying shareholder value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Small Share of a Large Market<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>GitLab operates in the highly competitive infrastructure software market, which the firm notes in its S-1 is estimated to be worth $328 billion in 2021 and grow to $458 billion in 2024, or 12% compounded annually. Such a large TAM may entice investors looking for another tech growth story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Gitlab recognizes that it cannot provide products to the entire TAM and, instead, aims to serve $43 billion of the industry in 2021 and $55 billion in 2024. At its current run rate revenue<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newconstructs.com\/gitlab-another-overpriced-tech-company\/#_ftn2\">[2]<\/a>&nbsp;of $233 million, Gitlab has just 0.5% share of its \u201cserviceable\u201d market in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we narrow in on the Global DevOps segment of the infrastructure software market, the expected CAGR is higher, but the addressable market is much smaller. Global Industry Analysts&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/global-devops-market-to-reach-17-8-billion-by-2026--301323923.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">projects<\/a>&nbsp;the Global DevOps market will grow by 20% compounded annually through 2026 to reach $18 billion. Regardless of the addressable market, Gitlab\u2019s IPO valuation implies it will take significant share and grow much faster than either of these market projections, as we\u2019ll show below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click here to read the full article &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newconstructs.com\/gitlab-another-overpriced-tech-company\/\">GitLab: Another Overpriced Tech Company<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article originally published on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newconstructs.com\/gitlab-another-overpriced-tech-company\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">October 8, 2021.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Disclosure: David Trainer, Kyle Guske II, Alex Sword, and Matt Shuler receive no compensation to write about any specific stock, style, or theme.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Follow us on&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewConstructs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Twitter<\/em><\/a><em>,&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/newconstructsllc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Facebook<\/em><\/a><em>,&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/new-constructs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>LinkedIn<\/em><\/a><em>, and&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/stocktwits.com\/dtrainer_NewConstructs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>StockTwits<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;for real-time alerts on all our research.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newconstructs.com\/gitlab-another-overpriced-tech-company\/#_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a>&nbsp;Only Core Earnings enable investors to overcome the flaws in legacy fundamental research, as proven by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/papers.ssrn.com\/sol3\/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3467814\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Journal of Financial Economics<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newconstructs.com\/gitlab-another-overpriced-tech-company\/#_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a>&nbsp;Gitlab calculates run rate revenue as revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2021 multiplied by 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newconstructs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/IPOReport_GitLabGTLB_2021-10-08.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to download a PDF of this report.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GitLab\u2019s model for growing revenue is based on the freemium model: gain users with a free version of its software and convert those users to paying members.
