Management Commentary

  • “We delivered revenue of $424 million… ARR of $1.666 billion… These results included an impact from the ongoing geopolitical climate… the transition in the government that began in January impacted the timing of deal closures” — Daniel Dines .
  • “Agentic orchestration provides real differentiation… orchestrate teams of specialized agents… working in tandem with robots… while avoiding vendor lock-in” — Daniel Dines .
  • “Fourth quarter revenue grew to $424 million… ARR totaled $1.666 billion… Non-GAAP operating income… record non-GAAP operating margin of 32%” — Ashim Gupta .
  • “We are going to monetize our agents and the Agentic orchestration via a consumption-based model… announce… as we plan to enter GA towards the end of April, beginning of May” — Daniel Dines .
  • “We ended the year with over $975 million in cloud ARR, up over 50% year-over-year… customers continue to adopt our AI product, and plan their Agentic road maps” — Ashim Gupta .

Q&A Highlights

  • Macro/public sector: Management highlighted procurement moratoriums and administrative transition effects in U.S. federal; delays across geographies (Canada cited) and broader macro uncertainty tightening budgets and deal approvals .
  • Agentic monetization: Agents and Agentic Orchestration to be priced consumption-based, with details coming at GA (end-April/early-May); near-term contribution to FY2026 revenue expected to be limited as adoption builds .
  • AI attach and adoption: AI product attach ~20% overall and >85% for $1M+ ARR customers; customers starting with POCs, some moving to larger deployments rapidly; three customers in limited GA to push agents to production .
  • Cloud migration: Both net-new and migrations driving cloud ARR growth; innovation pace and Agentic capabilities accelerating cloud adoption .
  • Guidance mechanics: H1 FY2026 revenue ≈$665M and net new ARR ≈$48M; FY gross margin ≈85%; adjusted FCF ≈$370M; stronger H2 seasonality expected .

Estimates Context

  • S&P Global/Capital IQ consensus estimates for Q4 FY2025 were unavailable due to data access limits; therefore, explicit comparisons to Wall Street consensus cannot be provided at this time. Values retrieved from S&P Global*.
  • Relative performance vs internal guidance: prior Q3 guide for Q4 revenue was $422–$427M, and non-GAAP operating income ≈$100M; PATH delivered $423.646M revenue and $134.042M non-GAAP operating income, while ARR ended at $1.666B vs guided $1.669–$1.674B .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Execution strengthened: Record non-GAAP margins (32%) and robust Q4 cash generation ($145M adjusted FCF) underscore a structurally improved cost base and operating rigor .
  • Agentic differentiation: UiPath’s ability to orchestrate agents, robots, and people across legacy and modern apps is a core moat; early traction (~3,000 agents) and upcoming consumption-based pricing could inflect monetization in FY2026–FY2027 .
  • Cloud momentum: Cloud ARR ≈$975M (+50% YoY) evidences migration tailwinds; expect sustained mix shift with a modest (~2pt) revenue headwind in FY2026 from SaaS timing .
  • Near-term caution: Macro volatility and U.S. public sector procurement transitions drive conservative Q1/H1 outlook; investors should expect seasonality with stronger H2 and track federal normalization .
  • AI attach and upsell: >85% attach among $1M+ ARR customers points to durable upsell potential in large accounts; watch for increased cross-sell of Autopilot, Communications Mining, IDP, and Agentic Testing .
  • Partnerships as accelerants: Deepening ties with Microsoft and Deloitte and SAP integration can shorten cycles and expand TAM for end-to-end process automation .
  • Corporate actions: Ongoing buybacks and CEO 10b5-1 plan (up to 5M shares; <5% of holdings) are relevant to float and sentiment; monitor execution against FY2026 targets and potential impact of any insider selling cadence .
