Business Wire

3 days ago

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UiPath, Inc. (NYSE: PATH), a global leader in agentic automation, today announced financial results for its first quarter fiscal 2026 ended April 30, 2025.
'I'm pleased with our first quarter results, highlighted by ARR of $1.693 billion, up 12 percent year-over-year, a reflection of our improved execution and the meaningful ROI our customers are realizing through our automation platform,' said Daniel Dines, UiPath Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "This was a milestone quarter for UiPath, marked by the launch of our agentic automation platform, a meaningful step forward in our product evolution. We're encouraged by the early response from customers, partners, and the broader ecosystem, which underscores the growing interest in agentic automation as a key part of the enterprise automation journey. As we continue to bring this next generation of capabilities to market, we remain confident in our strategy, our differentiation, and the opportunity ahead.'
First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Highlights
Revenue of $357 million increased 6 percent year-over-year.
ARR of $1.693 billion as of April 30, 2025 increased 12 percent year-over-year.

Non-GAAP gross margin was 84 percent

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities
Financial Outlook
'We delivered a strong start to the year, with first quarter results exceeding our guidance on both the top and bottom line, and achieving significant year-over-year expansion in non-GAAP operating margin,' said Ashim Gupta, UiPath Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. 'As we look to the remainder of the year, we remain focused on executing our strategy, investing in innovation and maintaining operational discipline to drive sustainable growth and profitability.'
For the second quarter fiscal 2026, UiPath expects:
Revenue in the range of $345 million to $350 million
ARR in the range of $1.715 billion to $1.720 billion as of July 31, 2025
Non-GAAP operating income of approximately $40 million
For the full year fiscal 2026, UiPath expects:
Revenue in the range of $1.549 billion to $1.554 billion
ARR in the range of $1.820 billion to $1.825 billion as of January 31, 2026
Non-GAAP operating income of approximately $305 million
Reconciliation of non-GAAP operating income guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from this non-GAAP measure; in particular, the effects of stock-based compensation expense specific to equity compensation awards that are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price. We expect the variability of the above charges to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Further information on risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from our guidance and other forward-looking statements can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 24, 2025, and other filings and reports that we may file from time to time with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
Key Performance Metric
Annualized Renewal Run-rate (ARR) is the key performance metric we use in managing our business because it illustrates our ability to acquire new subscription customers and to maintain and expand our relationships with existing subscription customers. We define ARR as annualized invoiced amounts per solution SKU from subscription licenses and maintenance and support obligations assuming no increases or reductions in customers' subscriptions. ARR does not include the costs we may incur to obtain such subscription licenses or provide such maintenance and support. ARR also does not reflect nonrecurring rebates payable to partners (upon establishing sufficient history of their nonrecurring nature), the impact of nonrecurring incentives (such as one-time discounts provided under sales promotional programs), and any actual or anticipated reductions in invoiced value due to contract non-renewals or service cancellations other than for certain reserves (for example those for credit losses or disputed amounts). ARR does not include invoiced amounts associated with perpetual licenses or professional services. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue, which is impacted by contract start and end dates and duration. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue as ARR is an operating metric and is not intended to replace these items.
Dollar-based net retention rate represents the rate of net expansion of our ARR from existing customers over the preceding 12 months. We calculate dollar-based net retention rate as of a period end by starting with ARR from the cohort of all customers as of 12 months prior to such period end (Prior Period ARR). We then calculate the ARR from these same customers as of the current period end (Current Period ARR). Current Period ARR includes any expansion and is net of any contraction or attrition over the preceding 12 months but does not include ARR from new customers in the current period. We then divide total Current Period ARR by total Prior Period ARR to arrive at dollar-based net retention rate. Dollar-based net retention rate may fluctuate based on the customers that qualify to be included in the cohort used for calculation and may not reflect our actual performance.
Investors should not place undue reliance on ARR or dollar-based net retention rate as an indicator of future or expected results. Our presentation of these metrics may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures that are derived from the consolidated financial statements, but that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). This earnings press release includes financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC, including non-GAAP cost of licenses, non-GAAP cost of subscription services, non-GAAP cost of professional services and other, non-GAAP gross profit and margin, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating income and margin, and non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude:
stock-based compensation expense;
amortization of acquired intangibles;
employer payroll tax expense related to employee equity transactions;
restructuring costs;
charitable donation of Class A common stock; and
in the case of non-GAAP net income, estimated tax adjustments associated with the add-back items, as applicable.
Additionally, this earnings release presents non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow, which is calculated by adjusting GAAP operating cash flows for the impact of purchases of property and equipment, cash paid for employer payroll taxes related to employee equity transactions, net payments/receipts of employee tax withholdings on stock option exercises, and cash paid for restructuring costs.
UiPath uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, by excluding the effects of items that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of our operations, and as a supplement to GAAP measures. UiPath believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial results with other companies in UiPath's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies. The information below provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. We encourage investors to consider our GAAP results alongside our supplemental non-GAAP measures, and to review the reconciliation between GAAP results and non-GAAP measures that is included at the end of this earnings press release. This earnings press release and any future releases containing such non-GAAP reconciliations can also be found on the Investor Relations page of UiPath's website at https://ir.uipath.com.
