I am by no means a finance or investing whiz. But the first thing I like to do is skip ahead to the cash flow statement.

In this case https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1653482/000162828021...

The income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow are connected; sides of a triangle.

Each of the three views alone is potentially misleading. But for an initial impression and quick gut check I like to start with cash flow.

60M cash loss in 2021, with over $100M stock based compensation expense. Maybe with Phabricator shutting down they'll see more growth but the last time I used Gitlab it was not comparable to Phabricator's (and Gerrit's) usefulness for large orgs. It's more like a Github clone in the way it functions.
gerrit was a decade ahead of the competition for code review. github is just starting to catch up now to where gerrit was in 2011
Would you mind sharing a ELI5 of how you go about reading these?
