Daniel Dines
Thank you, Kelsey, and good afternoon, everyone.
speaker
Kelsey
Thank you for joining us. As always, I want to take a moment to thank our team. and partners for everything you do to make UiPath successful and our customers for placing their trust in us. It was a good start to the fiscal year with first quarter results reflecting our commitment to driving growth at scale coupled with increasing profitability and cash flow. While the broader environment continues to be variable, the level of engagement with prospects and momentum in our large customers gives us confidence in this strategic role automation will continue to play in digital transformation. Turning to the numbers, we ended the quarter with ARR of $1.249 billion, an increase of 28%, driven by net new ARR of $45 million. Excluding FX headwind of $6 million, net new ARR totaled $51 million. First quarter revenue was $290 million, Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, revenue was 297 million and grew 21% year over year. Non-GAAP operating margin increased from negative 4% in the first quarter of last year to positive 17% in the first quarter of this year. A significant acceleration of our path to the 20% plus long-term operating target we laid out at Invest Today. I am very pleased. with the progress we are making to better align the team to customer requirements and the resulting efficiency improvements. Non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow was the first quarter record of $73 million, the first time we delivered positive non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow at the outset of the year. We ended the quarter with approximately 10,850 customers, reflecting our focus on acquiring customers with a high propensity to invest in automation. New customers included Liberty Bank, New York City Health and Hospitals, Vermont Federal Credit Union, and Navya Benefit Solutions. And we are seeing good momentum in our large customers. Customers with one million or more in ARR increased 43% year-over-year to 240. while customers with 100,000 or more in ARR increased to approximately 1,860. Customers choose UiPath because of our market-leading technology and breadth of platform capabilities, which allow for stack consolidation, vendor rationalization, and accelerate ROI, helping them achieve speed and agility while driving efficiency and improving employee and customer experiences. For example, Colgate-Palmolive, with more than 70 automations across various departments, they expanded to broader platform capabilities in the first quarter as they migrate to an integrated platform, consolidate vendor spend, and utilize our governance capabilities. And USilica, which started the UiPath journey with TestSuite, expanded to additional platform capabilities as they look to improve cost saving, productivity, and employee and customer experiences. It has been a busy start to this fiscal year. We launched our new segmentation model, nearly doubled the number of solution accelerators, added SAP solution accelerators to complement our partnership, hosted our annual AI Summit for a record number of participants, introduced our next platform release, 2023.4, announced several strategic partnerships, and strengthened our board and management team. We also recently hosted two incredible events, our first ever UiPath Summit, an exclusive event for our digital C-suite and most forward-thinking customers, and our UiPath Together public sector event in Washington. There were two clear takeaways, a platform-driving, meaningful ROI for our customers, and they want to understand how they can leverage UiPath's platform to deliver the power of generative AI responsibly and at scale. Since inception, our platform has been infused with AI. We offer our customers best-in-class models to read communications, understand documents, and see screens and interfaces. Coupled with this next wave of generative AI, we can help customers make automation even more accessible. across the employees and significantly expand use cases. Equally as important, our automation platform provides the guarantees, guardrails, and governance our customers require to deliver generative AI safely. We are investing.
speaker
Daniel Dines
Like the market, we are moving fast, which Daniel will talk about in a few minutes. AI is not new to UiPath. We are delivering real value to our customers today.
speaker
Kelsey
During the quarter, Grupo Bocho Cario, a UiPath customer since 2022, decided to replace a competitor and migrate the entire automation program to us with a strategic focus on AI as they work to accelerate development and deliver better governance. They also purchased Document Understanding to process invoices and plan to roll it out across other use cases. Another great example is Hyundai Capital, which is innovating the car buying experience for Genesis, Hyundai, and Kia dealerships and their customers by leveraging document understanding to streamline the loan and lease process. Reducing the time it takes to fund loans translates into a better experience for both the dealership and the customer. And with C-Level Sponsorship. They are exploring additional opportunities to further streamline their organization and drive efficiencies to the bottom line using AI and UiPath automation. Our partner ecosystem also continues to play a critical role in our success. During the quarter, we expanded our partnership with Snowflake, launching a pre-built solution for their manufacturing data cloud to instantly connect data to business processes without using complex code. our customers' ability to seemingly integrate across applications. In addition, go-to-market partners expand our reach to customers in a scalable and cost-effective manner. A great example is Kion, the German multinational and UiPath customers in 2019. Working with PwC, Kion continues to scale across the organization as they look to incorporate AI and test suites into the automation program. We also recently announced a partnership with Key Systems, a trusted cloud provider as classified by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, to deliver our end-to-end platform at scale to public sector organizations and large enterprises across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. As part of this partnership, We plan to work with key systems to develop industry-specific offerings for joint customers. One of the first of these is Deutschland Ticket, where key systems and UiPath anticipate helping them manage demand for the new flat-rate transport tickets in Germany. And finally, we announced an expansion of our partnership with SAP to jointly offer automation capabilities to customers. This partnership will help enterprises build a clean core on S400 Cloud, complements SAP Bold Process Automation, enabling organizations to improve efficiency and productivity across SAP and non-SAP workloads. We are pleased to be the premium sponsor for all three of SAP's SAFIRE events in Orlando, Barcelona, and Sao Paulo. And tomorrow, I will join the SAP team on stage at SAFIRE Barcelona to underscore the partnership we now have in place. Our partners are also very excited about the announcement. Very soon, EY America's vice-chair told us that having two alliances within EY's ecosystem that leverage the strengths of UiPath automation platform to help clients drive even more value from their SAP investment makes a lot of strategic sense. There is a significant amount of inbound interest, and I'm convinced that together we can help customers achieve game-changing results. In summary, I am pleased with the progress we have made on our strategic initiatives, which are raising our profile and relevancy not only with our customers, but also with go-to-market and technical partners. That being said, we are mindful of ongoing macroeconomic variability, and we have more work to do, extending our market leadership, helping customers get the most out of automation, and continuing to improve our execution.
speaker
Daniel Dines
And with that, I'll turn the call over to Daniel.
speaker
Daniel
Thanks, Rob. Good afternoon, everyone. We are very excited to have introduced our newest platform release, 2023.4, earlier this month. This release further accelerates our customers' ability to discover, automate, and operate at scale and continues to expand our leadership position in UI, AI, and API automation. Our customers are very excited about this new release. and our plans to use generative AI to further increase adoption of our platform. We believe that generative AI will be a very important part of our enterprise AI foundation, along with domain-specific AI and automation. And it is our platform that will allow us to deliver in a secure and governed manner that enterprise customers require. Generative AI is very powerful, but by itself has a limited scope of capabilities in the enterprise. It can read and generate text, but not take action. AI without automation is like a brain without a body. However, when AI is combined with an enterprise automation platform, it opens a whole new set of use cases and opportunities for customers. Our software robots can already read screens and documents. And now with generative AI, they can answer customer emails, create summaries of complex documents, and respond to support questions. Customers can use these new generative skills to extend existing automations in areas such as customer service and imagine entirely new ones. We also believe Generative AI will democratize access to our platform, making it easier for both knowledge workers and developers to create automations using just natural language descriptions. Generative AI will upskill every employee. One of our biggest competitive advantages in leveraging the power of Generative AI is our long-time investment in AI computer vision. With computer vision, we understand screens from legacy to modern applications, and our knowledge of screens continues to grow exponentially with more than 2 million calls every day to our AI computer vision service in the UiPath Automation Cloud. We are uniquely able to combine this understanding of screens with the cognitive intelligence of generative AI to watch work happen, understand what's being done, and automate it in our enterprise-ready platform. Let me show you a quick video of a research project codenamed Wingman that we are currently working on, which illustrates this. If you are not on the webcast, Please go to our investor relations website for the link.
speaker
Rob
So this is how we expect project women will work. Consider someone who needs to file an expense report. They can start by simply typing create an expense report and email my manager. Using Generative AI, the robot understands what the user is trying to do and makes a high-level plan. With UiPath state-of-the-art computer vision, the robot knows what it sees on the screen and can determine what needs to be done next. The robot will download files, launch applications, click buttons and even identify the correct fields and type into the form. Step by step, the robot will create a workflow that completes the plan. Looking at the workflow, you can see that the robot can also use generative AI to compose an email with context from the expense report and use API automation to send it.
speaker
Daniel
This shows how generative AI and computer vision can create robust workflows without writing any code. As this technology matures from research into products, we expect to extend the capabilities beyond developers to knowledge workers who will be able to simply describe tasks in natural language and have them executed directly by our platform. At our 4x4 user conference in the fall of 2021, I described the potential of generative AI using the phrase semantic automation. I am very pleased to report that our first offering in this space, Clipboard AI, is now in preview. Clipboard AI intelligently transfers data between documents, spreadsheets, and apps. understanding the content and automatically inserting the data into the right places. This use case has the power to transform how people work and is made possible by the depth of our expertise in combining AI computer vision, our own domain-specific models and generative AI. Generative AI also creates a compelling opportunity in automating manual tests. Today, application testing often still requires manual intervention, which makes it slow, unresponsive, and highly repetitive. The opportunity for a combination of generative AI and computer vision prompted through natural language descriptions and delivered through our platform has the potential to meaningfully transform the testing market, and we are well positioned to execute here. Generative AI represents a massive opportunity for UiPath and I am working closely with the team and our customers as we infuse it across our platform and realize its potential. This is why I'm so excited to welcome Kerenan Torel to our board of directors as a former practitioner with C-level technology roles at GSK. Walmart, Baxter International, and Daimler Chrysler, Carinan brings a wealth of experience and the customer perspective, which I believe will benefit the entire company. Before I close and hand the call over to Ashim, I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to UiPath's success. We remain focused on building an enduring Rule of 40 company and are pleased that our first quarter represents another step on that journey. With that, I will turn it over to Ashim.
speaker
Clipboard AI
Thank you, Daniel, and good afternoon, everyone. Unless otherwise indicated, I'll be discussing results on a non-GAAP basis, and all growth rates are year-over-year. I also want to note that since we price and sell in local currency, fluctuations in FX rates impact results. We continue to execute against our strategic imperatives of balanced growth and profitability, which resulted in first quarter revenue outperformance, as well as record non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow. As a result, we are meaningfully increasing both our full year non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow outlook this afternoon. Turning to the first quarter, ARR totaled $1.249 billion, an increase of 28%, driven by net new ARR of $45 million. Excluding the FX headwind of $6 million, net new ARR totaled $51 million. We ended the quarter with approximately 10,850 customers, including great new logos like ASDA, Jubilant Life Sciences, Robert Weed Corporation, TaskRabbit, and TNL. As Rob mentioned, we saw strength in large customers as they continue to increase their UiPath footprint with broader platform adoption and increased consumption. A great example is Tetra Pak, a customer since 2018 who continues to expand on our platform adding additional products this quarter like Document Understanding, Action Center, and Automation Hub as they migrate to the cloud. Our strategy is to focus on customers with higher propensity to invest in automation as we transition our smaller accounts to a distribution channel. AI is also a central part of our strategy and is infused across our platform. A great example is Canon USA. Working with Greenlight Consulting, Canon has built an automation program that leverages document understanding and customized machine learning models to process over 5,000 invoices each month. Automation gives them greater accuracy and efficiency and requires far less need for human interaction, saving their employees over 6,000 hours of manual work annually. Our dollar-based net retention rate for the quarter was 122%. Normalizing for FX, our dollar-based net retention rate was 127%. Dollar-based gross retention of 97% continues to be best in class. Revenue grew to $290 million. Normalizing for the FX headwind of approximately $7 million, revenue grew 21%. Remaining performance obligations increased to $904 million, up 34% year-over-year. FX-adjusted RPO was $891 million. Current RPO increased to $559 million. Turning to expenses, we delivered a strong first quarter total gross margin of 87%. Software gross margin was 93%. First quarter operating expenses were $205 million, reflecting disciplined cost control. We continue to find opportunities to optimize the business, which allows us to both reinvest in growth and increased profitability. We have built a strong foundation to scale the company and will continue to leverage automation and improve operational excellence to grow the business efficiently. Before I move on, please note the year-over-year decrease in G&A reflects both cost efficiencies as well as a reallocation of software expense to other line items. GAAP operating loss of $46 million included $85 million of stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP operating income was $48 million, resulting in a record first quarter operating margin of 17%. The combination of revenue outperformance and disciplined expense management resulted in record first quarter non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow of $73 million. I am very pleased with this achievement, and we expect to be non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow positive every quarter for the remainder of the year. We also have a strong balance sheet, which is an important asset in the current operating environment, with $1.8 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, and no debt. Now, let me turn to guidance, which assumes the overall macroeconomic environment continues to be variable, including in North America, and that we are in the midst of executing our new go-to-market strategy, which includes account segmentation and the transition of smaller customers to distribution partners. For the fiscal second quarter 2024, we expect ARR in the range of $1.301 billion to $1.306 billion, revenue in the range of $279 million to $284 million, non-GAAP operating income to be approximately $10 million, and we expect second quarter basic share count to be approximately 563 million shares. For the fiscal full year 2024, we expect ARR in the range of $1.427 billion to $1.432 billion. Revenue in the range of $1.267 billion to $1.272 billion. Non-GAAP operating income to be approximately $168 million. This translates to a non-GAAP operating margin of 13%. a 700 basis point increase year over year. Before I close, I want to leave you a few final details. First, given our first quarter gross margin outperformance, we now expect gross margin for fiscal year 2024 to be 85%. And finally, we expect fiscal year 2024 non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow of more than $160 million or 13% adjusted free cash flow margin. Looking forward, the team remains focused on delivering growth at scale in a disciplined manner, which allows us to both invest in extending our market leadership while expanding operating margin and increasing adjusted free cash flow. Thank you for joining us today, and we look forward to speaking with many of you during the quarter. With that, I will now turn the call over to the operator. Operator, please poll for questions.

speaker
Terry Tillman
Hey, this is Joe Mirzon for Terry. Thanks for taking the questions. I appreciate it. So you recently announced your new business automation platform with SAP. It sounds like a big deal to us. Can you just explain what drove the decision to make this integration and what you think the opportunity is here?
speaker
Kelsey
Hey, Terry, this is Robert here. Thank you for the question. Look, I'm here in Barcelona with many of SAP's customers, and it's a truly exciting event for us. We have a few sponsors in both Orlando, Barcelona, and Sao Paulo. I think it's best said in terms of a customer. A large global apparel footwear company this morning in Barcelona mentioned why the partnership for them is important. It's basically around the ability to migrate to S4HANA, drive a clean core, accelerate their digital transformation, combining some of SAP's technologies around Signavio, which is process modeling, connected with our UiPath task mining, and driving off the UiPath platform. Together, that global footwear apparel company is working with robots over a couple of thousand hours with the SAP system and seeing significant benefits. Together with customers wanting to move faster, customers wanting to actually see how automation on top of the existing environments, whether they're actually going to go through digital transformation or not. And we believe that our go-to-market organizations on both sides will be able to deliver the value to these customers much, much faster. It's a significant partnership. The feedback we've got from global system integrators has been exceptionally positive. We've mentioned a couple of them, and we've had a lot of positive inbound interest in this partnership with SAP. To get us today, we also have customers that already utilize it in the test suite, the capabilities we have. You can see it, we've mentioned previously with Orica and the benefit space, whatever. So we think at the end of the day, customers are going to see significant benefits by connecting ERP systems, world-class mission-critical ERP systems together with world-class automation systems.
speaker
Terry Tillman
Super helpful. And then just as a follow-up, we recently saw a UiPath product demonstration that used ChatGPT to come up with test scenarios for the test suite. It seems very additive to the platform. Can you just explain at a high level how ChatGPT augments the product and then what your product does that ChatGPT cannot do. Thanks so much.
speaker
Daniel
I'm very excited about the opportunities that generative AI is going to bring to our platform. We are seeing a good opportunity to increase the adoption of our platform by making the existing use cases easier to implement and democratizing access to the platform in the sense that even more and more less technical users can use it. We are building, as part of this project called Wingman, we are building a co-pilot like technology where users can specify in natural language what is the task they want to automate and we use computer vision to read application screens and by combining our own technology with the cognitive power of ChatGPT we can actually create very easy to use workflows that can be deployed and run by our platform. Moreover we feel that in our document understanding business we can accelerate the creation of domain-specific models by training them using generative AI, but then deploy them in a secure and governed manner. So these domain-specific models have the advantage that they are very precise, and they don't hallucinate, and they don't pose business risks. And you mentioned testing. Exploratively, testing was very difficult traditionally to automate because people iterate very fast through building an application and user interface usually changed quite a lot. But now we see the opportunity to have a description of the tests in pure English, like you do for the manual testers. And then by our automation platform that employs computer vision and generative AI, we'll simply explore user interface and will be capable of understanding an application and testing more like a human user that will result in an acceleration of actually implementing a large application because people will test much more often so development cycles will will shorten So all in all, we believe this is an amazing opportunity for our platform, and I want to stress again that the power of it really puts into highlight the power of our computer vision that reads screens, the power of our execution platform that can execute screens through applications, and the power of our end-to-end platform that can orchestrate and deliver automation in an enterprise-grade manner.
speaker
Daniel Dines
Thanks so much.
speaker
Operator
Our next question comes from Raymond Lenshal with Barclays. Please state your question.
speaker
Raymond Lenshal
Thank you, and congrats for another solid quarter, guys. I wanted to stay on that testing theme and actually also the SAP theme from the first question. I'm thinking about testing in an SAP migration environment because as a lot of customers have to go to S4 HANA, a lot of customers need to redo and rethink their customizations, etc. Should that not be a significant opportunity for you guys around uh, testing there and, and work there. And, and, you know, am I dreaming here or do you see that? And what's the opportunity there? And I have one follow-up version.
speaker
Kelsey
Yeah, I'm a Robert here. Um, now when you, when we mentioned, uh, the Erica test suite, uh, announcement, uh, uh, earlier, um, that is in a combination with this 400 migration that they're doing. So we need to go part of that migration. It was also, um, automation on top of, um, on top of S-400 migration with SESI. So we actually have customers today that are actually utilizing significant parts of both platforms. And the opportunity is significant because it also ties in SAP's BTP platform together with S-400 migration. So that's why we feel really confident about it. We also feel like it changes the discussion in front of customers and it drives a significant amount of efficiency in the migration process as well. We've also...
speaker
Raymond Lenshal
um delivered sap heat maps and sap solution accelerators to help move that motion even faster so we do see that as a significant opportunity with our partner sap yeah okay perfect makes sense and then ashim um a great great results on on cost control and what you're doing there and how do we how do you think about your cadence investment cadence there for the reminder of the year in terms of uh kind of controlling costs, but also kind of getting ready for in case things are kind of looking better in the second half of the year with the view on 2024? Like, how do you kind of run the business at the moment? Many things.
speaker
Clipboard AI
Yeah, I think first is we will consistently invest in areas that we see opportunity. That is both in the go-to-market side as well as in product. And you can see that in the results of the roadmap that Daniel talked about in the product and the excitement that we have there. And and deals like the SAP partnership that happen through the investment of time of our resources. So we focus people in the right places with the highest return. We've talked about it. I think we have enough scale now where a big chunk of our base is really scalable globally. You look at our G&A structure, I think we've built the foundation to scale across every single country and support the customers and the strategy that's in place today. And on the go-to-market side, Rob brings a ton of expertise, and the leadership of the go-to-market teams really are constantly looking for the best opportunity. And focusing on customers with the highest propensity to invest automatically leads to better ROIs in terms of the investments we put in. So while I think that we will continue to operate the company efficiently, That efficiently for us means investing in great opportunities and de-emphasizing areas where we don't. And that formula, I think, has shown positive results by you can see not just the generation of free cash flow, but also us raising our overall operating margin guidance here to 13% for the remainder of the year.
speaker
Daniel Dines
Yeah. Okay. Makes sense. Well done. Thank you.
speaker
Operator
Our next question comes from Matthew Hedberg with RBC. Please state your question.
speaker
Matthew Hedberg
Great, guys. Thanks for taking my questions. Rob, maybe I'll start with you. Upselling the platform beyond RPA is clearly a big opportunity for you guys. And when we look at your growth in large customers, it seems like it's showing up there. Can you talk a little bit more about the success you're seeing there moving customers beyond RPA to the broader platform? And what does that do to ARR per customer?
speaker
Kelsey
Yeah, maybe Hashim can also comment on the ARR per customer. But for certain, when you look at our customers above a million, That's improving all the time. I would say, Matt, the discussions we're having with customers today using our North Star model is significant. It's really around how we can help their businesses, how we can help drive efficiency, and how we can help them deal with this environment that we're working in today. So we see lots of opportunity on that. I think Daniel mentioned document understanding, the return on document understanding, the results that we have with customers today in healthcare, healthcare providers and financial institutions is absolutely significant and we see more and more customers expand. And then as customers start to see areas, I would say when we engage in a sales cycle and we're going with test suite and they look at the full platform, We're seeing more and more customers select us because of the platform, the opportunity that it provides. I would say RPA and automation today, the way the companies look at enterprise automation, UiPath is clearly the leader in that space. The partnerships that we've now got in place with big GSIs and big technical partners is making a big difference. I'm very confident of where we're headed with our focus on industries and these partnerships.
speaker
Matthew Hedberg
Great. Thanks. And maybe just, Ashim, following on Ramo's question on margins, obviously super impressive, 9.5% to now 13% for the year. I'm just sort of curious, like, you know, when we think about that longer-term margin progression, you know, how should we think about the cadence beyond this year, which has obviously been pretty dramatic this year so far?
speaker
Clipboard AI
Yeah, I think we're really pleased with the progress and the pace of execution by every single employee of UiPath, frankly, working to both serve our customers and find efficiencies together. We've talked about 20% margin in terms of a long-term operating margin goal. We'll update that at the appropriate time as we see the need to, but we're more than halfway there. We feel really good about that progress. We're committed to being a Rule of 40 company. And I think just continuing that progress is what we're focused on.
speaker
Daniel Dines
Thank you very much.
speaker
Operator
Thank you. And our next question comes from Mark Murphy with JP Morgan. Please state your question.
speaker
Mark Murphy
Hey, this is already on for Mark Murphy. Thanks for taking the question. I wanted to ask, Is there any material portion of your pipeline where you look at it and feel like you're being involved in general AI and LLMs with external products? To be clear, I understand you guys have your own AI and ML products, but specifically if you're kind of seeing any incremental pipeline with adoption of these kind of emerging LLMs. Thanks.
speaker
Clipboard AI
I don't think we look at our pipeline in that vein. When we go around and Rob can talk through the customer portion and the customer stories, Every customer in our pipeline reflects the continued interest and understanding that automation and AI go hand in hand, and the power of generative AI really makes us the right long-term fit for their platform. So we see that in the pipeline in terms of just the continued throughput of the deals and the deals with our largest customers reflecting our strategy. So that's the way we see it. Do we have a specific set of pipeline or deals just around AI? We don't look at it that way. And I don't believe our customers do either.
