Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are discussed in greater scope and detail in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to such policies during the three months ended April 30, 2024.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP may be condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024, which are included in the 2024 Form 10-K.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for the fair presentation of our financial information. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of UiPath, Inc. and its subsidiaries in which we hold a controlling financial interest. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
The results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2025 or for any other future interim or annual period.
Fiscal Year
Our fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal year 2025, for example, refer to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2025.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the amounts of revenue and expenses reported during the period. We evaluate estimates based on historical and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, certain aspects of revenue recognition, expected period of benefit for deferred contract acquisition costs, allowance for credit losses, fair value of financial assets and liabilities, fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, useful lives of long-lived assets, capitalized software development costs, carrying value of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities, incremental borrowing rates for operating leases, amount of stock-based compensation expense, timing and amount of contingencies, costs related to our restructuring actions, uncertain tax positions, and valuation allowance for deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of our non-U.S. subsidiaries is the local currency. Asset and liability balances denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates, while revenue and expenses are translated using average monthly exchange rates. Differences are included in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the exchange rate at the time of the transaction and subsequent gains and losses related to changes in the foreign currency are included in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized foreign currency transaction gains (losses) of $2.8 million and $(0.8) million, respectively.
Concentration of Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts receivable.
We maintain our cash balance at financial institutions that management believes are high-credit, quality financial institutions, where our deposits, at times, exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limits. As of April 30, 2024 and January 31, 2024, 95% and 91%, respectively, of our cash and cash equivalents were concentrated in the U.S., European Union (“EU”) countries, and Japan.
The selection of investments in marketable securities is governed by our investment policy. The policy aims to emphasize principles of safety and liquidity, with the overall objective of earning an attractive rate of return while limiting exposure to risk of loss and avoiding inappropriate concentrations. We use this policy to guide our investment decisions as it stipulates, among other things, a list of eligible investment types, minimum ratings and other restrictions for each type, and overall portfolio composition constraints.
With regard to accounts receivable, we extend differing levels of credit to customers based on creditworthiness, do not require collateral deposits, and when necessary maintain reserves for potential credit losses based upon the expected collectability of accounts receivable. We manage credit risk related to our customers by performing periodic evaluations of creditworthiness and applying other credit risk monitoring procedures. Significant customers are those that represent 10% or more of our total revenue for the period or accounts receivable at the balance sheet date. For the three months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue. As of April 30, 2024 and January 31, 2024, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of our accounts receivable.
