Recent Business Highlights

UiPath completed its initial public offering (IPO): The offering consisted of 27,474,393 shares of its Class A common stock at a price to the public of $56.00 per share, which consisted of 13,000,000 shares issued and sold by UiPath and 14,474,393 shares sold by the selling stockholders. Net proceeds from the IPO totaled $692.4 million, and UiPath did not receive any proceeds from the shares sold by the selling stockholders. UiPath is listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “PATH”.
Released UiPath Platform 21.4: As previously announced, highlights of this platform release include three new products and over 100 major customer driven new features and deeper integrations across every pillar of our end-to-end platform. Innovations include the all-new Automation Ops, designed to help customers manage and govern high scale deployments of the UiPath Studio family of products and Attended Robots enterprise-wide. New AI-powered capabilities were also introduced to speed the discovery and prioritization of processes to automate, led by the general availability of Task Mining. Other upgrades included a seamless user experience across the platform and the continued rapid expansion of Automation Cloud™. We have over 5,000 customers and partners registered for our 21.4 Release Show and 15,000 developers are expected to join UiPath DevCon next week.
Acquired Cloud Elements to bring together Ui Automation and Computer Vision with API Management: With the March 2021 acquisition of Cloud Elements, a pioneering API integration platform, UiPath will be able to offer both enterprise-grade user interface (UI) and application programming interface (API) based automation capabilities in a single platform. This means that UiPath customers now have the flexibility to automate processes using an optimal mix of UI and API-based automation.
Expanded technology partnership: UiPath and Tableau launched a Tableau Activity which allows customers to easily utilize data produced or retrieved by robotic automations in their Tableau reports and the UiPath extension for Tableau which triggers a robot directly from a Tableau report or dashboard.
Recognized as a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Robotic Process Automation, Q1 2021: Among the 14 vendors evaluated, UiPath earned the highest ranking in each of three categories: Current Offering, Strategy, and Market Presence. The Company also received the highest possible scores in the criteria of product vision; performance; supporting products and services; partner ecosystem; delivery model; enterprise RPA customers; enterprise customers; and product revenue.
Delivered COVID-19 Aid: Supported Oxygen for India with a contribution of over $1 million in corporate and employee donations to send and distribute oxygen supplies throughout the country.
Appointed new Chief People Officer and first Chief Culture Officer: UiPath appointed Bettina Koblick, most recently Chief People Officer (CPO) at ServiceMax, as its Chief People Officer, and Andreea Baciu, interim UiPath CPO, as UiPath’s first Chief Culture Officer. Both appointees bring significant experience from software companies of varied scale and stage.
Expanded mission to democratize automation and drive diversity in the technology industry: The UiPath Academic Alliance partnered with seven Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to train students on RPA. These partnerships with HBCUs are intended to bring workforce development opportunities, along with the skills, training, and knowledge to not only thrive in digitally-led work environments, but to also shape them. To date, UiPath Academic Alliance has partnered with more than 750 academic institutions globally.

Financial Outlook

For the fiscal second quarter 2022, UiPath expects:

ARR in the range of $702 million and $704 million
Revenue in the range of $180 million and $185 million
Non-GAAP operating loss in the range of $(35) million and $(25) million

For the fiscal full year 2022, UiPath expects:

ARR in the range of $850 million and $855 million

Reconciliation of non-GAAP operating loss 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 measures and 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.

Partial Early Lock-Up Release

UiPath announced today that a partial early lock-up release will occur immediately prior to the opening of trading on June 10, 2021 with respect to its shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, pursuant to the terms of certain lock-up agreements entered into by UiPath’s directors and executive officers, the selling stockholders, and certain other stockholders with the underwriters of UiPath’s initial public offering.

Pursuant to the terms of the lock-up agreements, the lock-up restrictions automatically end with respect to 30% of certain securities owned as of March 31, 2021 by the selling stockholders and UiPath’s directors, certain executive officers, employees, former employees, and certain other stockholders. The lock-up restrictions will continue to apply with respect to all remaining securities subject to the lock-up agreements.

We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act and are making this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our financial guidance for the second fiscal quarter and full year fiscal 2022, the estimated addressable market opportunity for our platform, the successful integration of new features into our platform, and the success of our collaborations with third parties. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially or such uncertainties could cause adverse effects on our results. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties related to: (1) our recent rapid growth may not be indicative of our future growth; (2) our limited operating history; (3) our ability to successfully manage our growth; (4) our ability and the ability of our platform to satisfy and adapt to customer demands; (5) our business depends on our existing customers renewing their licenses and purchasing additional licenses and products from us and our channel partners; (6) our ability to attract and retain customers; (7) the competitive markets in which we participate; (8) general market, political, economic, and business conditions; (9) our ability to maintain and expand our distribution channels; (10) our reliance on third-party providers of cloud-based infrastructure; and (11) the potential impact that the COVID-19 pandemic and any related economic downturn could have on our or our customers’ businesses, financial condition and results of operations.

Further information on risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from our guidance can be found in the final prospectus for our initial public offering, dated April 20, 2021 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 21, 2021, and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that will be filed for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2021.

Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements

Key Performance Metric and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Annualized Renewal Run-rate (ARR) is a 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 obligations assuming no increases or reductions in the subscriptions. ARR does not include the costs we may incur to obtain such subscription licenses or provide such maintenance and does not reflect any actual or anticipated reductions in invoiced value due to contract non-renewals or service cancellations other than for specific bad debt or disputed amounts. Additionally, though we use ARR as a forward-looking metric in the management of our business, it does not include invoiced amounts reported as perpetual licenses or professional services revenue in our consolidated statement of operations, and is not a forecast of future revenue, which can be impacted by contract start and end dates, duration, and renewal rates. Investors should not place undue reliance on ARR as an indicator of future or expected results. Our definition of ARR may differ from the definition used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.

This earnings press release includes the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC, including non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit and margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating loss and margin, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share and non-GAAP free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude:

· stock-based compensation expense;

· amortization of acquired intangibles;

· employer payroll tax expense related to employee equity transactions;

· in the case of non-GAAP net loss, the associated tax adjustments with the related add-backs; and

· in the case of free cash flow, purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of software development costs.

UiPath uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating UiPath’s ongoing operational performance. 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. On-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). We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplementary information in evaluating our performance. 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 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.
