With greater than 70 automations throughout varied departments, they expanded to broader platform capabilities within the first quarter as they migrate to an built-in platform, consolidate vendor spend, and make the most of our governance capabilities.
And U.S. Silica, which began their UiPath journey with Check Suite, expanded to extra platform capabilities as they give the impression of being to enhance price financial savings, productiveness, and worker and buyer experiences.

Since inception, our platform has been infused with AI. We provide our prospects best-in-class fashions to learn communications, perceive paperwork, and see screens and interfaces.
Coupled with this subsequent wave of generative AI, we might help prospects make automation much more accessible throughout their workers and considerably broaden use instances. Equally as necessary, our automation platform gives the ensures, guardrails, and governance that prospects require to ship generative AI safely. We’re investing. Just like the market, we’re transferring quick, which Daniel will speak about in a couple of minutes.
AI just isn’t new to UiPath. We’re delivering actual worth to our prospects at present. Throughout the quarter, Grupo Boticario, a UiPath buyer since 2022, determined to switch a competitor and migrate their total automation program to us with a strategic deal with AI as they work to speed up growth and ship higher governance. Additionally they bought Doc Understanding to course of invoices and plan to roll it out throughout different use instances.

That being stated, we’re conscious of ongoing macroeconomic variability, and we’ve extra work to do, extending our market management, serving to prospects get probably the most out of automation, and persevering with to enhance our execution.

Daniel Dines — Co-Founder and Co-Chief Govt Officer
Thanks, Rob. Good afternoon, everybody. We’re very excited to have launched our latest platform launch, 2023.4, earlier this month. This launch additional accelerates our prospects’ capability to find, automate, and function at scale and continues to broaden our management place in UI, AI, and API automation.
Our prospects are very enthusiastic about this new launch and our plans to make use of generative AI to additional enhance adoption of our platform. We imagine that generative AI can be a vital a part of our enterprise AI basis, together with domain-specific AI and automation. And it’s our platform that can permit us to ship in a safe and ruled method that enterprise prospects require. Generative AI may be very highly effective, however by itself has a restricted scope of capabilities within the enterprise.
It might learn and generate textual content however not take motion. AI with out automation is sort of a mind and not using a physique. Nonetheless, when AI is mixed with an enterprise automation platform, it opens a complete new set of use instances and alternatives for patrons. Our software program robots can already learn screens and paperwork.
And now, with generative AI, they will reply buyer emails, create summaries of advanced paperwork, and reply to assist questions. Prospects can use these new generative expertise to increase current automations in areas reminiscent of customer support and picture solely new ones. We additionally imagine generative AI will democratize entry to our platform, making it simpler for each information staff and builders to create automations utilizing simply pure language descriptions. Generative AI will upskill each worker.
Certainly one of our greatest aggressive benefits in leveraging the ability of generative AI is our longtime funding in AI Laptop Imaginative and prescient. With Laptop Imaginative and prescient, we perceive screens, from legacy to fashionable functions. And our information of screens continues to develop exponentially with greater than 2 million calls day-after-day to our AI Laptop Imaginative and prescient service within the UiPath Automation Cloud. We’re uniquely capable of mix this understanding of screens with the cognitive intelligence of generative AI to look at work occur, perceive what’s being accomplished, and automate it in our enterprise-ready platform.
Let me present you a fast video of a analysis undertaking codenamed Wingman that we’re presently engaged on, which illustrates this. In case you are not on the webcast, please go to our investor relations web site for the hyperlink. This exhibits how generative AI and laptop imaginative and prescient can create sturdy workflows with out writing any code. As this expertise matures from analysis into merchandise, we anticipate to increase the capabilities past builders to information staff who will be capable of merely describe duties in pure language and have them executed instantly by our platform.
At our FORWARD IV consumer convention within the fall of 2021, I described the potential of generative AI utilizing the phrase semantic automation. I’m more than happy to report that our first providing on this area, Clipboard AI, is now in preview. Clipboard AI intelligently transfers information between paperwork, spreadsheets, and apps, understanding the content material, and robotically inserting the information into the suitable locations. This use case has the ability to remodel how individuals work and is made potential by the depth of our experience in combining AI Laptop Imaginative and prescient, our personal domain-specific fashions, and generative AI.
Generative AI additionally creates a compelling alternative in automating guide assessments. Right now, software testing usually nonetheless requires guide intervention, which makes it gradual, unresponsive, and extremely repetitive. The chance for a mix of generative AI and Laptop Imaginative and prescient prompted by way of pure language descriptions and delivered by way of our platform has the potential to meaningfully rework the testing market, and we’re well-positioned to execute right here. Generative AI represents a large alternative for UiPath, and I’m working carefully with the crew and our prospects as we infuse it throughout our platform and notice its potential.
For this reason I am so excited to welcome Karenann Terrell to our board of administrators. As a former practitioner with C-level expertise roles at GSK, Walmart, Baxter Worldwide, and DaimlerChrysler, Karenann brings a wealth of expertise and a buyer perspective, which I imagine will profit your complete firm. Earlier than I shut and hand the decision over to Ashim, I wish to thank everybody who has contributed to UiPath’s success. We stay targeted on constructing an everlasting Rule of 40 firm and are happy that our first quarter represents one other step on that journey.
With that, I’ll flip it over to Ashim.
Ashim Gupta — Chief Monetary Officer

I additionally wish to be aware that since we worth and promote in native foreign money, fluctuations in FX charges influence outcomes. We proceed to execute our — in opposition to our strategic imperatives of balanced development and profitability, which resulted in first quarter income outperformance, in addition to document non-GAAP working margin and non-GAAP adjusted free money move.
Because of this, we’re meaningfully growing each our full 12 months non-GAAP working revenue and non-GAAP adjusted free money move outlook this afternoon. Turning to the primary quarter.

Working with Greenlight Consulting, Canon has constructed an automation program that leverages Doc Understanding and customised machine-learning fashions to course of over 5,000 invoices every month.
Automation provides them larger accuracy and effectivity and requires far much less want for human interplay, saving their workers over 6,000 hours of guide work yearly. Our dollar-based internet retention price for the quarter was 122%. Normalizing for FX, our dollar-based internet retention price was 127%.

We proceed to seek out alternatives to optimize the enterprise, which permits us to each reinvest in development and enhance profitability. Now we have constructed a robust basis to scale the corporate and can proceed to leverage automation and enhance operational excellence to develop the enterprise effectively. Earlier than I transfer on, please be aware, the year-over-year lower in G&A displays each price efficiencies, in addition to a reallocation of software program expense to different line gadgets.
GAAP working lack of $46 million included $85 million of stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP working revenue was $48 million, leading to a document first quarter working margin of 17%. The mixture of income outperformance and disciplined expense administration resulted in document first quarter non-GAAP adjusted free money move of $73 million.

We even have a robust stability sheet, which is a crucial asset within the present working atmosphere, with $1.8 billion in money, money equivalents, and marketable securities, and no debt.

First, given our first quarter gross margin outperformance, we now anticipate gross margin for fiscal 12 months 2024 to be 85%.
And eventually, we anticipate fiscal 12 months 2024 non-GAAP adjusted free money move of greater than $160 million or 13% adjusted free money move margin. Trying ahead, the crew stays targeted on delivering development at scale in a disciplined method, which permits us to each spend money on extending our market management whereas increasing working margin and growing adjusted free money move.

However now, we see the chance to have an outline of the assessments in pure English such as you do for the guide testers, after which by our automation platform that employs Laptop Imaginative and prescient and generative AI, we’ll merely discover the consumer interface and we’ll be able to understanding an software and testing extra like a human consumer. That can end in an acceleration of really implementing a big software as a result of individuals will take a look at rather more usually. So, growth cycles will shorten. So, all in as soon as, we imagine that is a tremendous alternative for our platform.

Look, once you take a look at the best way we take a look at enterprise AI, and we’re getting a major quantity of discussions with our prospects, you must return to domain-specific AI. Within the domain-specific AI, we have had, , years, years of labor on this area that our prospects, whether or not or not it’s Activity Mining, Doc Understanding, our Laptop Imaginative and prescient expertise. And do not forget Communication Mining as nicely.
So, we have years of understanding in that. We spoke about Clipboard AI beforehand on generative AI. Prospects actually wish to perceive how we are able to profit them sooner or later with automation and the way these two go hand in hand. And I believe that is going to be one thing that UiPath will proceed to evolve actually, actually quick within the subsequent month.
And I might imagine that we’re seen as a frontrunner — a thought chief on this area as nicely. I imply, Daniel, do you wish to make some feedback on that?
Daniel Dines — Co-Founder and Co-Chief Govt Officer
Yeah. As I stated, it is — I actually imagine that from a strategic standpoint, AI growth will comply with a bit like, , our human mind growth. Now we have a really highly effective cognitive engine, however we’ve loads of specialised fashions, if I can say so, that assist us to do many duties on autopilot. As an illustration, if I wish to attempt to study tennis, initially, I am coaching utilizing my cognitive understanding the sport.
However then I’ll play on autopilot as a result of it is rather more efficient, it is extra exact. It is really a lot much less intensive when it comes to assets that it requires. So, clearly, that is going to be the mannequin that can prevail within the enterprise world. And for this reason I imagine we’ve an intensive moat right here, we have — primarily based on our Laptop Imaginative and prescient expertise, and truly, our capability to execute actions on screens, which is a really arduous factor to do reliably.
So, it is a part of our IP for the previous 15 years. In a approach, I actually imagine that generative AI, it is precisely the lacking piece for RPA to essentially go to the following degree of adoption.

And I believe North America is one thing we commented on, , within the lastearnings name
So, from that, these are simply the dynamics, and I might say that is fairly constant. Nothing else that I might spotlight. Rob, I do not know if you wish to add on to that.
Rob Enslin — Co-Chief Govt Officer
I paused on that one. I did not — I do not suppose there’s a lot to spotlight. I might say that it is persistently variable. I might say the identical dialogue is going down with prospects once you speak about our Northstar modeling, the place we’re talking to prospects concerning the broader automation platform.
It is progressing very properly in each the U.S. or the Americas and in EMEA. We’re fairly happy with the progress there. And we are going to proceed to work on the progress in APJ.
However the market circumstances, I might say, are variable persistently.
Sanjit Singh — Morgan Stanley — Analyst

What does that imply from a pricing perspective? So, as you guys incorporate this expertise, do you’re feeling such as you had been — you’d be capable of press on the pricing lever given the potential productiveness enhancements that you could be extract or ship to prospects?
Daniel Dines — Co-Founder and Co-Chief Govt Officer
Yeah. This can be a huge tailwind for us. And it will positively influence all areas of our platform as a result of, in the end, we are going to infuse generative AI throughout our platform. And this principally will — with the elevated adoption of our expertise, I believe the generative AI can pay in a approach for itself.
And we are going to promote extra robots. We’ll promote extra paperwork processing. We’ll promote extra AI models. So, I believe it will mirror fairly properly into our current worth mannequin.
Sanjit Singh — Morgan Stanley — Analyst
