Price Performance Analyst's Risk Assessment

LOW MEDIUM HIGH


Our risk assessment considers PATH’s unique combination
of a differentiated user interface, ML/AI capabilities, and
complementary solutions, including task mining, which we
think is difficult to replicate. Potential offsets include
internally developed solutions from existing/future
customers and share loss to other large software
conglomerates (i.e., Microsoft’s Power Automate platform).
A steep drop-off in global demand for automation
solutions or reduced effectiveness of its “land and expand”
strategy could result in reduced operating performance.

past engineer at Microsoft, originally started a business process outsourcing (BPO) firm called DeskOver, C. M. Eschenbach M. Lira
which eventually was changed to UiPath in 2013 following a more centralized view on robotic process
automation (RPA). The company completed its initial public offering in April 2021 and began trading on the D. D. Springer O. Etzioni

FINANCIAL TRENDS. UiPath generates revenues from the sale of software licenses (57% in FY 21),
maintenance and support for licenses (38%), and professional services (5%). Total revenues grew by 81% to
$607.6 million in FY 21, driven primarily by expansion of existing customers (75% of the total increase) and
newly landed customers (other 25%). PATH’s total customer count rose 32.5% to 7,968 customers in FY 21
and included 80% of the Fortune 10 and 63% of the Fortune Global 500.
Gross margin widened to 89% in FY 21, from 82% in FY 20, primarily due to higher recognized revenues
from increased adoption of software offerings. Sales and marketing (S&M) declined 21% in FY 21 driven by
a decline in travel, sales events, and trade conference expenses. Net losses totaled $92.4 million in FY 21,
down from $519.9 million in FY 20. Operating cash flow came in at $29.2 million in FY 21, from a use of cash
of $359.4 million the year prior. As of January 31, 2021, the company’s balance sheet was in good shape,
with a net cash position of $440M ($20M in debt and $460M in cash).
PATH manages its business based on annualized renewal run-rate (ARR), which swelled by 65% to $580.4
million in FY 21, from $351.4 million in FY 20. Notably, the company also points to other key performance
indicators (KPIs) to monitor its financial progress, which includes dollar-based net expansion rate (i.e.,
yearly growth of annual recurring revenue divided by customer base over last twelve months), which was
145% in FY 21 and slightly down from 153% in FY 20.

Analyst Research Notes and other Company News

March 31, 2022


09:53 AM ET... CFRA Maintains Buy Rating on Shares of UiPath Inc. (PATH
23.63****):
PATH printed FQ4 (Jan-Q) results yesterday after market close (3/30) that featured
a top and bottom-line beat, but its FY 23 revenue outlook of $1.075B to $1.085B
(vs. $1.118B expected) came up short and is leading shares sharply lower this
morning. PATH attributed the lower revenue target to paused business in Russia
($25M-$30M) and FX headwinds ($10M-$15M). Additionally, deal slippage in
European regions also led to the more tempered outlook, but we would point out
that increasing competition, not a stall in expansion across larger customers were
driving factors, leading us to believe setbacks are temporary while clients assess
business continuity plans of their own. FQ4 revenues were $290M (+39% Y/Y),
compared to consensus of $283M, and adj-EPS of $0.05 topped consensus by
$0.03. Our 12-month target of $34 (from $63) is derived by using a blended DCF
analysis (60% weighting) and EV/revenue multiple (40% weighting). We expect PATH
to deliver an adj-EPS of $0.01 (from $0.11) in FY 23 and $0.09 in FY 24. / David Holt

December 09, 2021


10:59 AM ET... CFRA Maintains Buy Rating on Shares of UiPath Inc. (PATH
46.62****):
PATH printed FQ3 (Oct-Q) results yesterday after the close (12/8), highlighted by a
top and bottom-line beat, and a sequential revenue target that cleared
expectations. Initial commentary around FY 23 was also encouraging, with seasonal
tailwinds forming around net new client momentum. Key performance metrics are
also shaping up well, with a net retention rate (NRR) holding steady at ~145% and
remaining performance obligations (RPO) of $579.5M (+80% Y/Y), as both lean
toward the notion that broadening customer expansion seems likely, especially as
PATH benefits from tight labor markets and its leading competitive positioning in
enterprise automation. Oct-Q revenues were $221M (+50% Y/Y), compared to
consensus of $209M, and breakeven adj-EPS was better than consensus by $0.04.
Our 12-month target of $63 (from $69) is derived by using a blended DCF analysis
(60% weighting) and EV/revenue multiple (40% weighting). We expect PATH to
deliver an adj-EPS of $0.06 (from $0.04) in FY 22 and $0.11 (from $0.05) in FY 23. /
David Holt

September 16, 2021


12:19 PM ET... CFRA Initiates Coverage on Shares of UiPath with a Buy Rating (PATH
55.89****):
Our 12-month blended target of $69 is derived by using a two-stage DCF analysis
(60% weighting) and EV/revenue multiple (40% weighting). We estimate PATH will
post an EPS of $0.04 in FY 22 and $0.05 in FY 23, as the company favors landing
and expanding new and existing customers over the medium-term. Shares have
experienced pressure since going public in April 2021 due to questions around
competitive dynamics and near-term revenue interruptions temporarily masking
secular growth opportunities in robotic process automation (RPA). However, we
think recent investor apprehension presents an opportunity, given its severely
underpenetrated install base (5% currently), and proxies measuring future growth
potential (annualized renewal run-rate or ARR, which rose 60% in July-Q) make a
strong case for increased client expansion in future periods as the company fully
scales new products (e.g., task mining). PATH’s industry-best gross margin profile
and strides toward consistent profitability add to our bullish tone. / David Holt

a regional index (MSCI AC Asia Pacific Index, MSCI AC Europe Index or S&P 500® EV - Enterprise Value
Index)), based on a 12-month time horizon. STARS was designed to help FCF - Free Cash Flow
investors looking to put their investment decisions in perspective. Data used to FFO - Funds From Operations
