It's expected to begin trading Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker \"PATH.\"</p><p>UiPath originally filed for its IPO on March 26   have opted for a direct listing instead.</p><p>The New York-based company originally said it was registering up to 24.5 million shares, at a range of $43 to $50 a share, to raise up to $1.22 billion. On Monday, it hiked the range to between $52 and $54 a share  and increased the number of shares it planned to offer.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a>, J.P. Morgan, B of A Securities, Credit Suisse, Barclays, and Wells Fargo Securities are among the underwriters.</p><p><b>Here are five things to know about UiPath:</b></p><p><b>The 'humble' company notes rapid expansion</b></p><p>In the S-1, UiPath Chief Executive, Chairman and co-founder Daniel Dines wrote about his company having \"humility\" as a core value, in that it allows its developers to listen and adapt quickly to the needs of the customer. Founded in Bucharest, Romania, in 2005, the company was incorporated in Delaware six years ago after working its way up from \"10 people in an apartment in Romania,\" Dines wrote.</p><p>\"We went against the rules of perfecting the business model first in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> territory, and instead we rapidly expanded globally to the United States, Europe, and Asia simultaneously,\" the CEO wrote in a letter.</p><p>At a current annualized renewal run rate, or ARR, of $580 million, UiPath bills itself as \"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the fastest-growing modern enterprise software companies ever.\" ARR is a metric often used by software-as-a-service companies to show how much revenue the company can expect based on subscriptions.</p><p>While UiPath notes International Data Corp. sees the automation software market at $17 billion in 2020, with an expected rise to $30 billion by 2024, the company said its \"fully automated enterprise\" software gives it a current market opportunity of more than $60 billion.</p><p><b>CEO holds most of the cards</b></p><p>Since 2015, UiPath has raised about $2 billion in eight funding rounds, according to Crunchbase. That funding doesn't appear to have bought much voting power in the company, though.</p><p>UiPath's Class B shares carry 35 votes, while Class A shares -- being offered in the IPO -- carry one vote. The S-1 filing revealed that CEO Dines holds 100% of the Class B shares and 6.5% of the Class A shares, for 88.1% of the voting power.</p><p>The only entity that comes close to that is venture-capital firm Accel, which began building its stake in 2017, and now claims about 101 million Class A shares, or 24% of those shares, for 3.1% of the voting power. Earlybird Management, with 9.5% of Class A shares, commands 1.2% of the votes.</p><p><b>The company has reined in expenses</b></p><p>For the fiscal year 2021 ended Jan. 30, the company booked $607.6 million in revenue for a loss of $92.4 million, compared with $336.2 million in revenue for a loss of $519.9 million in fiscal 2020. In 2018, UiPath reported fiscal 2019 revenue of $148.5 million and a loss of $261.6 million.</p><p>As revenue rose 81% for fiscal 2021, UiPath reduced sales and marketing costs by 21%, research and development costs by 16%, and general and administrative expenses by 10%.</p><p><b>No specific plans for the funds</b></p><p>If underwriters exercise all option for shares in the offering, UiPath expects to bring in net proceeds of about $1.34 billion, based on a $56 stock price. With about $357.7 million in ready cash on the books as of Jan. 31, the company isn't earmarking raised capital for any specific use.</p><p>\"As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering,\" the company said in its April 19 filing. \"However, we currently intend to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses, and capital expenditures.\"</p><p><b>COVID-19 boosted diverse customer base</b></p><p>As of Jan. 31, the company claimed having nearly 8,000 customers, with 63% of the those in the Fortune Global 500. About 1,000 of those customers account for more than $100,000 in ARR apiece, UiPath said. The company highlighted such customers as Adobe Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">$(ADBE)$</a>, Applied Materials Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMAT\">$(AMAT)$</a>, Chevron Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVX\">$(CVX)$</a>, Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CMG\">$(CMG)$</a>, CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRWD\">$(CRWD)$</a>, CVS Health Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVS\">$(CVS)$</a> and Uber Technologies Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UBER\">$(UBER)$</a>.</p><p>That's compared with the 700-or-so customers the company claimed in 2018.</p><p>The company's current customer base is spread out enough where one customer can't upset revenue significantly.  \"No customer or channel partner accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the year-ended January 31, 2021,\" according to the S-1.</p><p>Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic helped. On Jan. 31, 2020, the company said it had about 6,000 customers, so during the year of the pandemic alone, UiPath grew its number of customers by 33%.</p><p>\"As the pandemic persisted, global demand for automation continued to accelerate as automation became essential for business execution and performance in a remote working environment,\" UiPath said.</p><p>\"While the pandemic may have accelerated the adoption of automation, the need for organizations to address extraordinary cost pressures, preserve and grow revenue, and adapt to ever-evolving end-customer needs illustrates the durability of the demand for digital transformation and the resilience and power of automation in even the most challenging times,\" according to the company.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

It's expected to begin trading Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker \"PATH.\"UiPath originally filed for its IPO on March 26   have opted for a direct listing instead.The New York-based company originally said it was registering up to 24.5 million shares, at a range of $43 to $50 a share, to raise up to $1.22 billion. On Monday, it hiked the range to between $52 and $54 a share  and increased the number of shares it planned to offer.Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, B of A Securities, Credit Suisse, Barclays, and Wells Fargo Securities are among the underwriters.Here are five things to know about UiPath:The 'humble' company notes rapid expansionIn the S-1, UiPath Chief Executive, Chairman and co-founder Daniel Dines wrote about his company having \"humility\" as a core value, in that it allows its developers to listen and adapt quickly to the needs of the customer. Founded in Bucharest, Romania, in 2005, the company was incorporated in Delaware six years ago after working its way up from \"10 people in an apartment in Romania,\" Dines wrote.\"We went against the rules of perfecting the business model first in one territory, and instead we rapidly expanded globally to the United States, Europe, and Asia simultaneously,\" the CEO wrote in a letter.At a current annualized renewal run rate, or ARR, of $580 million, UiPath bills itself as \"one of the fastest-growing modern enterprise software companies ever.\" ARR is a metric often used by software-as-a-service companies to show how much revenue the company can expect based on subscriptions.While UiPath notes International Data Corp. sees the automation software market at $17 billion in 2020, with an expected rise to $30 billion by 2024, the company said its \"fully automated enterprise\" software gives it a current market opportunity of more than $60 billion.CEO holds most of the cardsSince 2015, UiPath has raised about $2 billion in eight funding rounds, according to Crunchbase. That funding doesn't appear to have bought much voting power in the company, though.UiPath's Class B shares carry 35 votes, while Class A shares -- being offered in the IPO -- carry one vote. The S-1 filing revealed that CEO Dines holds 100% of the Class B shares and 6.5% of the Class A shares, for 88.1% of the voting power.The only entity that comes close to that is venture-capital firm Accel, which began building its stake in 2017, and now claims about 101 million Class A shares, or 24% of those shares, for 3.1% of the voting power. Earlybird Management, with 9.5% of Class A shares, commands 1.2% of the votes.The company has reined in expensesFor the fiscal year 2021 ended Jan. 30, the company booked $607.6 million in revenue for a loss of $92.4 million, compared with $336.2 million in revenue for a loss of $519.9 million in fiscal 2020. In 2018, UiPath reported fiscal 2019 revenue of $148.5 million and a loss of $261.6 million.As revenue rose 81% for fiscal 2021, UiPath reduced sales and marketing costs by 21%, research and development costs by 16%, and general and administrative expenses by 10%.No specific plans for the fundsIf underwriters exercise all option for shares in the offering, UiPath expects to bring in net proceeds of about $1.34 billion, based on a $56 stock price. With about $357.7 million in ready cash on the books as of Jan. 31, the company isn't earmarking raised capital for any specific use.\"As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering,\" the company said in its April 19 filing. \"However, we currently intend to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses, and capital expenditures.\"COVID-19 boosted diverse customer baseAs of Jan. 31, the company claimed having nearly 8,000 customers, with 63% of the those in the Fortune Global 500.

It's expected to begin trading Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker \"PATH.\"</p><p>UiPath originally filed for its IPO on March 26   have opted for a direct listing instead.</p><p>The New York-based company originally said it was registering up to 24.5 million shares, at a range of $43 to $50 a share, to raise up to $1.22 billion. On Monday, it hiked the range to between $52 and $54 a share  and increased the number of shares it planned to offer.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a>, J.P. Morgan, B of A Securities, Credit Suisse, Barclays, and Wells Fargo Securities are among the underwriters.</p><p><b>Here are five things to know about UiPath:</b></p><p><b>The 'humble' company notes rapid expansion</b></p><p>In the S-1, UiPath Chief Executive, Chairman and co-founder Daniel Dines wrote about his company having \"humility\" as a core value, in that it allows its developers to listen and adapt quickly to the needs of the customer. Founded in Bucharest, Romania, in 2005, the company was incorporated in Delaware six years ago after working its way up from \"10 people in an apartment in Romania,\" Dines wrote.</p><p>\"We went against the rules of perfecting the business model first in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> territory, and instead we rapidly expanded globally to the United States, Europe, and Asia simultaneously,\" the CEO wrote in a letter.</p><p>At a current annualized renewal run rate, or ARR, of $580 million, UiPath bills itself as \"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the fastest-growing modern enterprise software companies ever.\" ARR is a metric often used by software-as-a-service companies to show how much revenue the company can expect based on subscriptions.</p><p>While UiPath notes International Data Corp. sees the automation software market at $17 billion in 2020, with an expected rise to $30 billion by 2024, the company said its \"fully automated enterprise\" software gives it a current market opportunity of more than $60 billion.</p><p><b>CEO holds most of the cards</b></p><p>Since 2015, UiPath has raised about $2 billion in eight funding rounds, according to Crunchbase. That funding doesn't appear to have bought much voting power in the company, though.</p><p>UiPath's Class B shares carry 35 votes, while Class A shares -- being offered in the IPO -- carry one vote. The S-1 filing revealed that CEO Dines holds 100% of the Class B shares and 6.5% of the Class A shares, for 88.1% of the voting power.</p><p>The only entity that comes close to that is venture-capital firm Accel, which began building its stake in 2017, and now claims about 101 million Class A shares, or 24% of those shares, for 3.1% of the voting power. Earlybird Management, with 9.5% of Class A shares, commands 1.2% of the votes.</p><p><b>The company has reined in expenses</b></p><p>For the fiscal year 2021 ended Jan. 30, the company booked $607.6 million in revenue for a loss of $92.4 million, compared with $336.2 million in revenue for a loss of $519.9 million in fiscal 2020. In 2018, UiPath reported fiscal 2019 revenue of $148.5 million and a loss of $261.6 million.</p><p>As revenue rose 81% for fiscal 2021, UiPath reduced sales and marketing costs by 21%, research and development costs by 16%, and general and administrative expenses by 10%.</p><p><b>No specific plans for the funds</b></p><p>If underwriters exercise all option for shares in the offering, UiPath expects to bring in net proceeds of about $1.34 billion, based on a $56 stock price.

This may involve restaurants and bars, department stores, theme parks, shopping malls and underground arcades, though the final decision on what should shut down would be made with the central government.</p><p>Osaka Gov. Hirofumi Yoshimura told reporters that he has already conveyed this policy to the government. At a COVID-19 countermeasures meeting in Osaka on Tuesday, Yoshimura suggested that three weeks to a month would be an appropriate time frame for the emergency.</p><p>Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga is weighing the request but stopped short of making a decision on Tuesday evening. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is also considering asking the central government to declare a new state of emergency in the capital.</p><p>Osaka, Tokyo, and eight other prefectures are already subject to \"quasi-states of emergency,\" based on special laws. Under quasi-states of emergency, prefectural governments can request or order restaurants and bars to close early, and impose fines of up to 200,000 yen ($1,848) on businesses that refuse to comply without justification.</p><p>But the quasi-states of emergency are set to become full states of emergency as the earlier restrictions have failed to slow the spread of COVID-19 and it becomes increasingly difficult to secure hospital beds. States of emergency will also enable prefectures to request or order businesses to close or to shorten their business hours. Fines for failure to comply rise as high as 300,000 yen under a full emergency declaration.</p><p>A state of emergency could also broaden operating restrictions beyond restaurants and bars. \"We have been asking the public for many things, such as avoiding going out as much as possible ... but that has not been enough,\" Yoshimura told reporters on Tuesday before making the official request to the central government. Yoshimura said he is considering ordering the closure of shopping malls in the hope that \"there would be less movement of people, if there was no reason to go out to the city center.\"</p><p>The government and municipalities will determine which sectors should be subject to closure requests. Supporting measures will also be considered, including financial compensation for businesses that comply with closure requests.</p><p>Osaka residents will also be asked to avoid unnecessary outings. The prefectural government will ask companies to slash the number of commuters by encouraging working from home.</p><p>Osaka Prefecture has asked restaurants and bars to close by 8 p.m., citing high infection risks. But COVID-19 cases have continued to rise since the quasi-state of emergency was declared on April 5. The number of new cases has exceeded 1,000 for six straight days since April 13, hitting a record 1,220 on Sunday. The prefecture's hospital beds for COVID-19 patients with severe symptoms are more than 90% full, raising doubts over whether those who require medical treatment will be able to get it.</p><p>Hyogo Gov. Toshizo Ido is also considering asking the government to declare a state of emergency in the western Japanese prefecture, saying it would follow the lead of neighboring Osaka. Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike is preparing to do the same later this week. More prefectures could follow suit.</p><p>COVID-19 cases have continued to rise in Tokyo as well. And with many people expected to return home or travel during the Golden Week holidays starting next week, experts say the government should take more stringent measures, including asking more businesses to close.</p><p>A state of emergency was first declared by former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe last April. Suga in January declared a second one, ordering restaurants and bars to close early. Earlier emergency declarations did not ask restaurants and bars to close.</p><p>Investors in Tokyo reacted negatively to reports of stricter COVID-19 containment measures on Tuesday, with the benchmark Nikkei Stock Average diving more than 600&nbsp;points, or 2.2%, at one point, over fears of another wave of infections and the economic damage of additional emergency declarations.

This may involve restaurants and bars, department stores, theme parks, shopping malls and underground arcades, though the final decision on what should shut down would be made with the central government.Osaka Gov. Hirofumi Yoshimura told reporters that he has already conveyed this policy to the government. At a COVID-19 countermeasures meeting in Osaka on Tuesday, Yoshimura suggested that three weeks to a month would be an appropriate time frame for the emergency.Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga is weighing the request but stopped short of making a decision on Tuesday evening. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is also considering asking the central government to declare a new state of emergency in the capital.Osaka, Tokyo, and eight other prefectures are already subject to \"quasi-states of emergency,\" based on special laws. Under quasi-states of emergency, prefectural governments can request or order restaurants and bars to close early, and impose fines of up to 200,000 yen ($1,848) on businesses that refuse to comply without justification.But the quasi-states of emergency are set to become full states of emergency as the earlier restrictions have failed to slow the spread of COVID-19 and it becomes increasingly difficult to secure hospital beds. States of emergency will also enable prefectures to request or order businesses to close or to shorten their business hours. Fines for failure to comply rise as high as 300,000 yen under a full emergency declaration.A state of emergency could also broaden operating restrictions beyond restaurants and bars. \"We have been asking the public for many things, such as avoiding going out as much as possible ... but that has not been enough,\" Yoshimura told reporters on Tuesday before making the official request to the central government. Yoshimura said he is considering ordering the closure of shopping malls in the hope that \"there would be less movement of people, if there was no reason to go out to the city center.\"The government and municipalities will determine which sectors should be subject to closure requests. Supporting measures will also be considered, including financial compensation for businesses that comply with closure requests.Osaka residents will also be asked to avoid unnecessary outings. The prefectural government will ask companies to slash the number of commuters by encouraging working from home.Osaka Prefecture has asked restaurants and bars to close by 8 p.m., citing high infection risks. But COVID-19 cases have continued to rise since the quasi-state of emergency was declared on April 5. The number of new cases has exceeded 1,000 for six straight days since April 13, hitting a record 1,220 on Sunday. The prefecture's hospital beds for COVID-19 patients with severe symptoms are more than 90% full, raising doubts over whether those who require medical treatment will be able to get it.Hyogo Gov. Toshizo Ido is also considering asking the government to declare a state of emergency in the western Japanese prefecture, saying it would follow the lead of neighboring Osaka. Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike is preparing to do the same later this week. More prefectures could follow suit.COVID-19 cases have continued to rise in Tokyo as well. And with many people expected to return home or travel during the Golden Week holidays starting next week, experts say the government should take more stringent measures, including asking more businesses to close.A state of emergency was first declared by former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe last April. Suga in January declared a second one, ordering restaurants and bars to close early. Earlier emergency declarations did not ask restaurants and bars to close.Investors in Tokyo reacted negatively to reports of stricter COVID-19 containment measures on Tuesday, with the benchmark Nikkei Stock Average diving more than 600 points, or 2.2%, at one point, over fears of another wave of infections and the economic damage of additional emergency declarations.
