UiPath Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Financial Results

UiPath, Inc. (NYSE: PATH), a global leader in business orchestration and automaton, today announced financial results for its first quarter fiscal 2027 ended April 30, 2026.

"We delivered a strong start to the fiscal year, with ARR growing 12 percent year-over-year to $1.901 billion,” said Daniel Dines, UiPath Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "One year into general availability, our agentic products are moving from pilot to production, with customers standardizing on UiPath as the orchestration and automation execution layer for their enterprise AI transformation. The launch of UiPath for Coding Agents marks the next step in that journey, accelerating time to value, and driving the deeper platform adoption that reinforces our position as the long-term business orchestration and automation platform for enterprise AI.”

First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Financial Highlights

• Revenue of $418 million increased 17 percent year-over-year.
• ARR of $1.901 billion as of April 30, 2026 increased 12 percent year-over-year.
• Net new ARR of $49 million.
• Dollar based net retention rate of 109 percent.
• GAAP gross margin was 82 percent.
• Non-GAAP gross margin was 83 percent.
• GAAP operating income was $28 million.
• Non-GAAP operating income was $92 million.
• Net cash flow from operations was $132 million.
• Non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow was $130 million.
• Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $1.42 billion as of April 30, 2026.

“I am pleased with our first quarter results, exceeding our guidance across all key financial metrics,” said Ashim Gupta, UiPath Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. “We also achieved first quarter GAAP profitability for the first time in company history, demonstrating our continued operational discipline across the business. The momentum we are seeing in our business orchestration and automation platform reinforces our confidence in both our strategy and long-term opportunity.”

Financial Outlook

For the second quarter fiscal 2027, UiPath expects:

• Revenue in the range of $395 million to $400 million
• ARR in the range of $1.929 billion to $1.934 billion as of July 31, 2026
• Non-GAAP operating income of approximately $75 million

For the full year fiscal 2027, UiPath expects:

• Revenue in the range of $1.776 billion to $1.781 billion
• ARR in the range of $2.058 billion to $2.063 billion as of January 31, 2027
• Non-GAAP operating income of approximately $430 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.

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 condensed 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;
• change in fair value of contingent consideration; and
• in the case of non-GAAP net income, release of valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and 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.
