Thank you, Kelsey, and good afternoon, everyone. We continue to have very good momentum in our third quarter as ARR increased 58% year-over-year to $818 million driven by net new ARR of $92 million. Our continued growth at scale is fueled by our market leading end-to-end automation platform. Automation fundamentally changes how employees experience work and businesses interact with customers and partners. I continue to hear from customers that UiPath automation platform is one of the most important technologies in their digital transformation roadmap, driving operational efficiencies, generating revenue, and creating significant competitive advantages, as Forrester put it in their predictions 2022 automation report. Automation is emerging out of the back office to become a potent enabler of new business and operating models. Companies with advanced automation programs will obliterate not merely beat the competition. Automation also presents a truly strategic solution for the kinds of challenges presented by secular trends like the global labor shortage and supply chain constraints. For example, Hana Bank, one of the top three banks in South Korea, had the twin goal of reducing menial tasks done by employees and preparing for future labor shortages. They started by automating tasks which yielded not only cost reduction, but more efficient HR management, then moved to cross bank mega processes and have recently entered the fourth phase of deployment. All in Hana Bank has applied automation to 80 processes, an estimated saving of around 1.5 million hours per year. Now, turning to the quarter, I am pleased with our results which reflect our constant focus on customer success. At the end of the third quarter, we had more than 9630 customers, including new logos, like [Chegg Inc., Dr. Oetker] (ph), Colgate University, Loblaw Companies and Aspen Medical. On the expansion side, we now have 1363 customers that…

Thank you, Daniel, and thank you everyone for joining us today. As Daniel said, we are very pleased with our third quarter as we again delivered meaningful growth at scale. We had strong adoption across our platform, including our core product portfolio and automation cloud, as well as new product offerings, and added great new customers like Prudential, Hermes, Breakthrough Beverage Group, [indiscernible] and Sprout Mortgage. We also helped the EPA start their RPA journey and their office of their technology solutions. At the same time, we continued to drive market leading expansion rates across our customer base. For example, Isbank, the largest private bank in Turkey has successfully automated nearly 400 processes across 42 departments in two years. This has translated to 15 million transactions handled with savings of 600,000 working hours annually. They are also deploying UiPath process mining and AI technologies with chatbots. We are also working with companies like Seiko Holdings and Canon which I've successfully implemented RPA and are expanding use cases to enable greater automation across their organizations. Rather than diving into the P&L, I'm going to change things up a little bit. First, I'm going to focus on the relationship between ARR and revenue. Then I'll give you some color around Q3 and provide guidance, then we will take questions. Fiscal third quarter revenue grew 50% to $220.8 million, reflecting the strength in the business we closed the third quarter with ARR of $818.4 million of 58%, year-over-year. Net new ARR was $91.9 million up 42%. We have the highly recurring subscription business driven by a true land and expand model with customers deploying more robots, adopting more platform products, and expanding use cases as they realize the considerable value of automation. We run the business and evaluate our performance based on ARR.…

Thank you. At this time, we will be conducting a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from the line of Keith Weiss with Morgan Stanley. Please proceed with your question.

Excellent. Thank you, guys for taking the question and very nice quarter. I have one question for Ashim and maybe I get clarification question and one broader picture question for Daniel. Ashim, thank you so much for taking this through that ARR [assimilation] (ph), I thought this slide was really great. It really illuminates kind of sort of why ARR is the right metric to look at. When we're thinking about net new ARR addition this quarter. A year ago, I believe you had some pull forwards. You had certain really strong growth against a tough comp because you have pulled forward from Q4 into Q3. Was there any one-time items or any pull forwards of ARR into this quarter that we should be aware of? Or is this quarter pretty clean. And then, on the revenue side of the equation, a good explanation of how sort of contract durations and the like, and the type of the contracts impacts revenues, any particular impacts in terms of changing contract durations, or billing durations that occurred this quarter, that might have changed, like the revenue or the billings that we should be aware of?

Hey, Keith, great to hear from you. And I hope all's well. Just in terms of the first question, no, there was no significant item that was a pull forward in any which way or that was -- can be considered from other quarters. So it's a very clean quarter, on the ARR front in particular. And then, in terms of the question around duration, billing duration will continue to contract for us. And we've talked about this multiple times in terms of just our focus now with the cash in the bank, that we are going to prioritize, more one-year deals and reduce our dependency on multi-year prepaid deals from a cash flow standpoint, that trend continued in the quarter. It's just gradual, every single quarter, and we're happy actually and very deliberate in the intention on it. With regard to contract duration, there was nothing significant that I would say is to be called out for this quarter. In particular, duration as a whole is going to be volatile, because the way that we drive the business to ARR allows for customer choice to drive and customer economics to drive the decision on contract duration, versus our internal teams pushing it. So duration moves with every single quarter, and there is no one or two deals in particular, you see just kind of a relatively normal quarter with the mix of deals, falling the way customers have driven up.

Thank you. Our next question comes from a line of Phil Winslow with Credit Suisse. Please proceed with your question.

Thanks for taking my question and congrats on the strong quarter and outlook. Question for you, Daniel. A quick question, follow up to you Ashim. Daniel. I mean, obviously, we've tracked your company for almost four years now. And one thing that’s really jumped out at us is how you’ve expanded your platform, what you call the tapestry? Obviously, we've seen a lot of consolidation partnership announced across the RPA industry process mining for the past call it three to six months here. Wondering if you could help us understand your competitive landscape, how this tapestry differentiates you and how this expanded platform is helping you out with customers.

Thank you for the question. In the last quarter, we have not seen any material moves in terms of the competitive landscape. And I would start by pointing to the first IDC MarketScape report that put us in a very clear leadership position. And I would quote them saying that when it comes to real enterprise automation, real scale enterprise automation, customers are choosing UiPath. And this is, of course, because we offer an end-to-end platform that is suitable from small use cases to the most complex use cases. And indeed, we have this tapestry that we believe it's what helps our customers drive adoption from the process discovery, which is becoming really driver of growth and helping the adoption to building automation for both professional developers and citizen developers to a strong analytic platform and to our engagement layer, which is basically our low code, no code app platform, which is really dedicated to automation and integration use cases. So I would, finish my answer, saying that automation is really becoming the critical piece of accelerating digital transformation. We are the clear leader, and we continue to win deals in very large scores, because of our technology and our platform.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Raimo Lenschow with Barclays. Please proceed with your question.

Thank you, and congrats for me as well. Daniel, can you talk a little bit about what you see in your customer conversations around the increased need for automation just coming from the tight labor market? So, what we are hearing in our calls is that you just can't hire a lot of people just to do repeatable kind of jobs, so you’re kind of forced to automate? Is that coming through already in your customer conversations? That will be interesting. And Ashim just quickly on the dollar net retention, is there any commentary, maybe I missed it in the call, I only heard the gross retention. But any comment around how that was tracking? Thank you.

This is a great point. Even yesterday, I had a face-to-face discussion with a large investment banking company. And one of the highlights was really, that they are facing almost like 40% attrition in the bank, which is really huge. So we basically talked about how can we partner in order to offer the new guys out of college, the best working environments? How can we offer them, the best technologies out there, people want to join companies that are models that put them in the driving seat that gives them the technology to help them avoid this repetitive menial tasks that make a lot of people to really quit in large masses. So I believe this is really a great opportunity for us in the coming quarters. And one of the customers that I mentioned in during the script is Hana Bank. And really they've done already, a lot of investments in automations, because they anticipated this tight talent market and this is their approach.

And just in terms of dollar base net retention rate, Raimo, we see that there's really no material change from our last quarter. As we've talked about in the past, we will release the actual number periodically, we continue to feel very strong and confident about our execution and our customers execution. And that continued expansion rate is something we feel very, very confident and strong about as a company.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Brad Sills with Bank of America. Please proceed with your question.

Oh, great. Thanks, guys for taking my question. And I'll echo that congratulations on a nice quarter. One of the things that struck me in the press release that you just put out today on the partnership with Accenture, and also your comments with PwC partnership is company wide deployment. When we think of UiPath, we think of that kind of rinse and repeat departmental expansion that you guys have been executing so well on. Are you seeing more company-wide deals come into the pipeline? How does that global aside channel help with that type of activity? Thank you.

Well, I can say that among our customers that are over a million in ARR, for us, all of them without exceptions, are using our platform -- are using various products part of our platform. So this is not only -- it's not something marginal, this is really something that we are seeing more and more. Our growth products that are basically part of our tapestry is one of the highest growth if not, the highest growth technology within our platform. So that's definitely a growth driver for us. It's the usage of the entire platform.

And then, just Brad, the other thing we see is, we do see continued momentum, I talked about our dollar base net retention rate being very strong. One of the drivers of that is cross company deals where multiple functions are finding automation. And I think that's a really important thing as a former customer to just emphasize as people continue to learn about UiPath is our platform is horizontal. So we were talking to CHROs, CEOs, customer call center leaders, CEOs across the board even CROs in terms of how they want to use automation. And our best customers are using are able to replicate what they do in one function and replicate those wins across functions, and that is really a core part of our dollar-based net retention rate and why we have conviction about the size of our TAM.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Michael Turits with KeyBanc. Please proceed with your question.

Hey, guys, thanks. Perhaps another take on Keith's question, you commented that you'd see seasonality in net new ARR, I thought of is really bookings, I guess in Q1. So, I mean, the standard reason that was pretty clear since you didn't see it last year was the pull forward that more typically you would see stronger bookings in the fourth quarter from an ARR perspective?

Yes, generally what we see right now is definitely momentum between second half and first half. When I look at the pipeline today, I'm encouraged between fourth quarter in terms of the emergence of the fourth quarter seasonality that we talked about. So yes, I see that seasonality as a potential here. One thing I'll just address because, just anticipating the question behind the question is related to our guidance, our guidance philosophy continues to be to guide what I see in front of us today and we'll continue to execute and drive the company, we feel very bull -- we feel very confident about not just our execution, but the dynamics of our pipeline and the response of our customers. Daniel, I don't know if you want to talk further just in terms of what you're seeing in the market around that.

Yes, it's, we are very pleased with what we are seeing in front of us. We are seeing a strong Q4, it's, the demand is there, we are seeing really very engaged partners, so overall, we are very pleased with the direction where our business is going.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Alex Zukin with Wolfe Research. Please proceed with your question.

Hey guys, thanks for taking the question. Maybe just a question around pipeline and then just a clarification on the retention rate. New business and specifically, and the return of in-person events, the conference in Vegas, all the things that you're doing, how has that impacted the pipeline, any material change to the pipe now versus a year ago heading into for 4Q? And then maybe just a clarification, the fact that it wasn't a material change in terms of NRR, it was a pretty wide variance between NRR in Q1 of 131% and Q2 of 144%. So I just want to understand is it within that range between those two numbers, is it lower, is it higher, would be good kind of to get that?

Well, the partial return to normal face to face meetings, it's a very welcome novelty for us. We made the bold decision to have our annual forward meeting in person. And I can tell you that besides an acceleration in pipeline, it's been a great acceleration in the energy of the company seeing happy customers, happy partners talking about how important this technology is for them. It's really -- it -- I think it gave us the real energy to push forward this Q3 and we're really into great stuff into the Q4. I personally have started traveling quite a bit in Europe and in the U.S., and that's -- that makes a difference way in-person we are capable of presenting and articulating our vision to large customers establishing sea level connections, and this is one of the particularity of our technology. We need an executive sponsor in order to go big enterprise wide. So the return to normal face to face is only going to help us. Now I let Ashim comment more a bit on NRR.

Yes. So, Alex, just one thing I'd like to correct is, first quarter was not 131%, it was greater than 145% is the way that we talked about it in some of the questions and calls. So really when you look at where we have been, that has been relatively consistent all year and no material change. And I always like to emphasize the operational pieces, we continue to execute very strongly because the demand for automation is high within our customers, high ROIs drive a lot of interest from internal executives, we continue to see it, and it speaks to our land-and-expand model. So, first quarter was in line with what we've talked about at 145% plus, and we've materially not changed since our numbers throughout the year here.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Mark Murphy with JPMorgan. Please proceed with your question.

Yes, thank you, I'll add my congrats. So Daniel, at your User Conference in Las Vegas, one of your partners was saying that this market in the past was a three-horse race and the two of the horses got broken legs. And there were so many stories of Blue Prism and automation anywhere customers migrating to UiPath, I'm just wondering if you can shed some light on whether you have a little extra tailwind from that type of activity? And then, Ashim just going back to Michael Turits' question, the comment about Q1 seasonality emerging in net new ARR. I believe consensus is already modeling that, I know we certainly have lower net new ARR in Q1. Can you just clarify if any, are you signaling that some kind of a change is needed or do you think it's kind of reflected already?

Mark, indeed, we are engaging in a few replacement deals of both automation anywhere in Blue Prism, especially within large financial institution. There are territories, particularly, I would say like in the Nordics, Canada, in U.S., where they are withdrawing their presence significantly. In the same time, I would not necessarily call it like a tailwind. Our -- the untapped opportunity in this market is huge for us, where our growth is not coming from replacement of our existing competitors, but really by delighting our customers, evolving our platform, getting new customers, this is really our driver of growth.

And then Mark just no -- to be very clear, no, I'm not signaling anything that is different from what I'm seeing out there in terms of the models that I've come across. I would say given our discussions on seasonality, especially last fourth quarter between 3Q, 4Q and 1Q of our -- of the past 12 months, I just think it never hurts to repeat things. And this is our first cycle as a public company crossing between years, so I just wanted to make sure that everybody knew where I stood and how the business looks at seasonality now and what we're seeing as our business matures.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Matt Hedberg with RBC Capital. Please proceed with your question.

Hi, yes, this is Anisha [ph] for Matt Hedberg. Thanks for taking my question and congrats on the strong quarter. Maybe double clicking on the question on demand environment, during Q2 earnings call, you noted the impact on COVID thus far as neutral. With the new Omicron variant, have you baked in any conservatism in your fiscal '22 guidance?

I think it's a bit too early to tell if the new variant is having an impact were -- not on the business. We continue to say and to see that COVID is net neutral to us. It was -- COVID is a bit of a headwind to new logos and it's a tailwind to adoption across a few other industries in existing customers. When the COVID will end, we see real market opportunity for us to drive growth across all industries, all sectors.

And then just in terms of our guidance, I hesitate to use the word conservatism as I talk about. As we approach these calls, I -- the guidance that we provide is based on what I see in front of us, I don't handicap it. I have not handicapped it in any way for Omni to answer that question directly. I just really look and evaluate the data that I have in my hands today and that is the basis of our guidance.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Bryan Bergin with Cowen. Please proceed with your question.

Hi, good afternoon. Thank you. A question for you on the sales force, I'm curious if you've seen any challenges being caused by talent tightness in the market? And are you on plan as it relates to targeted sales force additions as you begin to plan for fiscal '23?

We have invested throughout this year on our sales force. We are seeing -- we are not seeing right now significant pressure on our ability to attract talent. We have great brands out there, we have a fantastic culture inside the company, our compensation is top notch, so we are really bullish in our capability of attracting talent.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Terry Tillman with Truist. Please proceed with your question.

Hi, thanks. This is Joe Meares on for Terry. Appreciate you taking the question. There's been a lot of press releases from you and your partners in terms of working together, and you guys spoke at length earlier in the call about the Accenture and PwC partnerships, I think you're up to 4,900 now. So it's the two-part question. Are these partnerships more helpful with landing new customers or for expansions? And then the second part is where do you think you are in terms of the productivity curve of your relationships with these partners so far? Thanks so much.

Well, I would like to answer starting with the second question, where I think this is an extremely positive momentum that we are seeing with major GSIs. We're talking with a few of them about building significant practices in UiPath. And when I -- what I mean by significant practices is like, top five, top 10 practices for them, this is truly important. In relation to the first question, we are seeing they're helping us in both adoption with existing customers and getting net new logos. Of course, we are seeing that our top 20 partners more helpful in expansion with the existing customers and the long tail of partners are a bit more helpful in getting net new logos, but overall, they are helpful on both fronts.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Keith Bachman with Bank of Montreal. Please proceed with your question.

Yes, many thanks. Daniel, I wanted to revisit with you on the competitive landscape. Could you speak specifically to Microsoft and how you see Microsoft as a competitor both now and over the course of the next year or two? And the dynamics that I was thinking about in terms of UiPath as a pure-play vendor with cross functionality in many different application areas versus Microsoft more of a Microsoft centric versus -- but Microsoft has pretty deep reach, you mentioned a few times that you're trying to get access to senior level management. And so just hoping you could speak broadly about Microsoft and some of the underlying trends as you see them unfolding over the next year or so? Many thanks.

Speaking about the current situation, as I said before, IDC has underscored very well where we are. In terms of real enterprise traction, UiPath is really the only tangible choice for enterprises that want to go from small to complex across different divisions that want a really high level of penetration. Our own data, if we take into account the deals where Microsoft is participating versus the deals where Microsoft is not participating, we are not seeing material changes in our winning rate. So right now currently, I can say Microsoft has -- doesn't have a meaningful impact on our ability to win customers. What is going to happen in the next couple of years, first of all, I would like to make a case that Microsoft is focused with their RPA mostly on citizen developer and personal productivity. This is a small part of our overall TAM. So I don't see that in the coming years, Microsoft investment and competing with us will materially derail us from our growth trajectory that we are seeing and we are building right now.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Kirk Materne with Evercore. Please proceed with your question.

Yes, thanks very much and congrats on the quarter. Daniel, I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about your thought process on verticalization, not of the product, but of your go-to-market efforts, meaning as you start to talk to companies about going deeper with automation, I would think having an understanding of those industries at a greater level of depth would be helpful in terms of maybe accelerating those conversations. I realized that's hopefully what your partners are aiding you with. But I was curious how much of that you think UiPath should take on when you think about your next steps in go-to-market, maybe not next year, but over the next few years? Thanks.

Well, one of the best business decision that we made a couple of years ago was to create our industry expertise group. So we hired across a few verticals, people that really are capable of speaking customer language and articulate how technology is helping them. We have built also value engineering that is industry-specific. So that was instrumental for us in lending key deals across financial services, healthcare, and public sector especially. We continue to invest across particularly these three industries. And we are also investing in partners specialized in these areas. So it's really a good point. But at this time, we don't see a need to verticalize our products specific to industries, but for -- from a go-to-market perspective, we are looking very closely into how can we better address customers, particularly across these three industries that I mentioned.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Ari Terjanian with Cleveland Research Company. Please proceed with your question.

Good afternoon, and thanks for taking the question. Just had a question about investments into next year, I saw it seems like OpEx decelerated a little bit more this quarter. How are you thinking about hiring into next year, both from R&D and sales and marketing, and any kind of specific areas you're prioritizing, should we expect similar pace of growth or any ramp-up as you try to address this large market opportunity ahead of you? Thanks.

I can tell you our strategy for hiring into R&D was higher like there is no tomorrow. We are joking internally saying we don't have a budget for R&D. And I'm really happy to tell you that despite the pressure in the market, Q3 was one of our best quarter for hiring into R&D. Now on a more general terms, I continue to say we really invest across the company, particularly in go-to-market where we invest in field, we invest in velocity, and velocity is one of our best performing things out there in terms of sales productivity, we invest in customer success to continue our great adoption story, and we invest in partners, because we are ultimately a partner-led business. So it's, at this point, we are not seeing reasons to be very concerned about our hiring ability. As I said before, we have a great brand out there, we have a great comp, our position, we are the leader in the market that changes how people live and work, people believe in our destiny, and ultimately, we have also an amazing internal culture as it's really expressed by our own employees.

And then just in terms of the metrics really quick, when we say that OpEx is decelerating, I want to remind everybody that when you look at sales and marketing expense for the quarter, it would seem from a reported basis that were down 13%, please remember that there was an accounting change related to commissions, and on a pro forma basis when you adjust for that, we are actually up 42% year-over-year, which speaks to the investments that Daniel was talking about. And R&D is up 46%, we continue to build out in support, et cetera. Right now, while we're committed to long-term operating margins that we've talked about of 20% plus, our priority right now is investment. And we've talked about being roughly cash flow neutral, we're not afraid to go a little plus or minus against that. We look at the TAM as early, we look at our market position as leading, and so with that confidence, we will continue to invest in both our go-to-market and our R&D business to scale the company. We look at that cycle to continue through next year. And you can see that even with the investments that we've talked about within our earlier call, within the earnings call around our partner ecosystem -- partners and our ecosystem.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Michael Turrin with Wells Fargo Securities. Please proceed with your question.

Hey there, good afternoon. Thanks for taking the question. Ashim, just following on to some of the seasonality questions and comments, is there anything else you can add from a large deal perspective? Maybe just how you approach guiding for larger deals in particular, and maybe as part of that you can also just help level set and remind us what the cadence of use case or broader expansion most often looks like, is that typically an annual conversation and that's also what goes into the second half versus first half seasonal shape you're expecting or just any additional context on those you mentioned still relatively early in your public company journey, I think it's all useful context? Thank you.

Yes, great, Mike, I appreciate the question. When I think about seasonality and large deals, one is the definition of large deal in our -- in -- given our accounting is different between revenue and incremental ARR. So as I think about large deals from an incremental ARR standpoint, I continue to be pleased with the pipeline and demand. We haven't fully highlighted it, but our million dollar plus customers continues to grow, and we see continued momentum in large scale customers throughout fourth quarter. The second piece of that is from a revenue standpoint, fourth quarter, we anticipate to be -- have the most deal activity in terms of there, so duration is going to be something we keep an eye on. Like I said, I really do -- we don't drive duration from a business standpoint in terms of actively from a metric standpoint that really becomes customer and economics driven. In this environment, I would say our pipeline is dynamic even at this stage in the quarter and we'll continue to monitor that as we go through there as we close the rest of the quarter and as we really kind of enter into the final stages there. So I see good momentum, but I can't predict that really well. In terms of the -- and when I say I can't predict it really well, meaning like in terms of duration and understanding the impact of that. The last thing is in terms of the cadence, we talked about this and we could refer back to the second quarter earnings call, we talked about the life -- the contract to-date or the life to-date value of our customers, many of our customers buy quarterly, it's nothing that they wait for their annual cycle to grow. Really, what defines when a customer is -- expands is when they start seeing those bursts of ROI that come. For many of our customers that actually can come two to three months out and then continue to come as they go across departments. And for other of our customers, depending on their implementation journey, they may be using some of the early pieces of their purchases and then wait for their renewal. So more often than not, we see multiple buying patterns, but multiple points in the year of when customers buy, and that again speaks to the strength of our land-and-expand model that's there.

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the end of the question-and-answer session. I will now turn the call over to Ashim Gupta for closing remarks.

Just one thing I -- this is Ashim, just before I turn it over to Daniel to close, we've got a lot of questions coming in around RPO. So just for everyone to hear, I want to just state the numbers clearly and so everybody can jot them down for those who had questions. Total RPO for the quarter was $579.5 million, and that's up 80% year-over-year. Current RPO was $359.3 million, and that is up 69% year-over-year. So I just wanted to clarify that. With that, I'll turn it to Daniel to close.

I want to thank you all very much for participating in this afternoon's call. I also want to thank the UiPath team for their hard work, our partners for their dedication to our customers and our shareholders for your ongoing support. We hope you have a happy and healthy holiday season and look forward to speaking with many of you throughout the quarter. Thank you.

This concludes today's conference, and you may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation and have a wonderful day.
