Your onerous work, dedication, and progressive spirit are the driving forces behind our success, and I am unable to wait to see what we accomplish collectively in 2025. We reported a powerful near the fiscal 12 months, exceeding our steerage throughout each top- and bottom-line metrics, pushed by demand for the depth and breadth of our platform and the group’s concentrate on buyer success, which is on the core of every little thing we do. Our momentum additionally reinforces my confidence within the strategic position we play for our clients and the investments we’re making in our future. We delivered fourth quarter web new ARR of $86 million, ending the 12 months with complete ARR of $1.464 billion, a rise of twenty-two% 12 months over 12 months, and report quarterly income of $405 million, up 31% 12 months over 12 months.
On the underside line, fourth quarter non-GAAP working margin was a report 27%. This drove fiscal 12 months non-GAAP working margin to 18%, a rise of over 1,100 foundation factors 12 months over 12 months.

Our enterprise automation platform is the muse to ship that worth throughout each group.
We make AI actionable, unlocking the promise of this subsequent evolution in expertise. And I consider that the mixture of AI and automation is the strategic change enabler for our clients. For instance, a number one U.S.-based monetary companies agency and one among our prime 25 clients began their automation journey with RPA in 2018 and have since adopted our full platform. This consists of Course of Mining, Doc Understanding, and Check Suite.
As their automation program has expanded throughout enterprise strains, they’ve over 15,000 robots in manufacturing, with automations throughout a number of thousand processes. And as a part of a seven-figure fourth quarter deal, they plan to deploy Communications Mining of their company funding banking, business banking, and HR departments.

The worth of our enterprise automation platform has by no means been extra evident to regional companions, international SIs, and go-to-market companions like SAP, who perceive the facility of AI mixed with automation and the worth it offers to our joint clients. Our SAP partnership is progressing properly, and we’re happy with the momentum and pipeline technology throughout geographies.

Past Indosat’s inside use, we’re forming a strategic go-to-market collaboration, increasing our presence in Indonesia to empower native companies to revolutionize operations and equip staff to concentrate on higher-value duties. And in partnership with a GSI, we supported TD Financial institution by means of our North Star program to create a listing of prime automation alternatives throughout numerous strains of enterprise targeted on enhancing buyer expertise, empowering colleagues, optimizing controls, and driving productiveness and price efficiencies. Because of this, they expanded their UiPath deployment within the quarter as they give the impression of being to speed up and scale their automation program throughout the financial institution. We additionally not too long ago introduced a first-of-its-kind co-innovation market collaboration between UiPath and Deloitte.
Deloitte’s Good Finance for Progress Corporations leverages automations constructed by UiPath and customised by Deloitte into value-driven packages tailor-made for the wants of early stage, progressive firms which require pace and agility. And at last, we proceed to deepen our partnership with Microsoft to construct best-in-class automation experiences and integrations. This brings AI-powered automation to clients utilizing Microsoft Azure. We see alternatives to broaden this collaboration to speed up our joint clients’ transfer to the cloud with AI-infused trade options and enterprise modernization with Microsoft.
This quarter, we have now some notable joint wins, together with an growth deal on Microsoft’s market. This features a British multinational firm which is within the strategy of migrating to the cloud whereas rising their automation program.

This resulted in considerably fewer operational incidents and enabled them to maintain their advanced IT panorama working easily. We anticipate returns like these to be additional accelerated with the introduction of our newest innovation, Autopilot, our latest set of AI-powered experiences that leverage generative AI, specialised AI, and automation throughout the platform.

Expansions are pushed by the fast time to ROI and the broad applicability of our automation. At Fujitsu, automation has revolutionized their enterprise operations globally throughout their accounting, HR, and IT departments. With C-level sponsorship they’re incorporating the UiPath platform into their companywide digital transformation venture together with automating mission-critical methods akin to Salesforce, ServiceNow, and SAP. Fourth quarter income grew to $405 million, a rise of 31% 12 months over 12 months.
We had good linearity within the quarter as we benefited from a powerful calendar 12 months shut and demand from our enterprise clients. Please keep in mind that underneath ASC 606, income development charges differ quarter to quarter relying on timing of license deliveries and renewals. Taking a look at income on a trailing twelve month foundation, our income and ARR development continues to be aligned. Whole income for the fiscal 12 months 2024 was $1.3 billion, a rise of 24% 12 months over 12 months.

Fourth quarter total gross margin was 89%, pushed by value management and efficiencies. Software program gross margin was 92%. Fourth quarter working bills had been $250 million highlighting the leverage in our enterprise and our dedication to expense administration and working self-discipline. We ended the 12 months with 4,035 complete staff.
Within the fourth quarter, we achieved our first quarter of GAAP profitability as a public firm, delivering working revenue of $15 million.

I’m actually happy with our adjusted non-GAAP free money move technology for the fourth quarter and full 12 months. Fourth quarter non-GAAP adjusted free money move was $146 million.
And for the complete fiscal 12 months, non-GAAP adjusted free money move was $309 million.

Now, turning to steerage, I will begin with some shade. We’re initiating full 12 months steerage for ARR, income, and non-GAAP working revenue above present expectations. Beginning on the highest line, because the enterprise has grown previous $1 billion, it has matured right into a constant seasonal sample with the second half of the 12 months being stronger than the primary. It is a reflection of our renewal portfolio which is weighted to our fourth quarter, according to different firms within the software program trade, and our rising U.S.
Federal vertical. Because of this, we anticipate first half income to be roughly $675 million, first half web new ARR to be roughly $105 million, and second half web new ARR and income to mirror comparable seasonality as fiscal 12 months 2024. On the underside line, as I discussed earlier, we considerably outperformed our non-GAAP working margin expectations, which we laid out at the start of this fiscal 12 months. And I am actually pleased with the group for this achievement.
We now have a powerful enterprise mannequin with excessive gross margins and growing economies of scale which, when mixed with our disciplined working cadence, we anticipate to ship appreciable shareholder worth over time. Our platform is extremely differentiated, and clients are making significant commitments to UiPath. We do not simply enable clients to make use of AI, we allow them to take motion. We consider there may be large alternative in entrance of us, and we plan to proceed to make strategic investments in expertise, like IDP and generative AI, in addition to our go-to-market assets to assist seize this massive and rising market.
With this because the background, we plan to ship development and profitability in fiscal 12 months 2025, with our aim of driving at the very least 100 foundation factors of non-GAAP working margin growth 12 months over 12 months. Turning to the specifics of our information which assumes the macroeconomic atmosphere continues to be variable.

Lastly, we’re dedicated to managing stock-based compensation. And for fiscal 12 months 2025, we anticipate dilution to be roughly 3% 12 months over 12 months.

And I’d say you may extrapolate that globally. We now have each — we have now an answer that’s actually relevant in markets which are involved about sovereignty. You recognize, you’re taking the French for example, the place we’re in a position to deploy in a cloud-based mannequin to their liking, their deployment mannequin alternative.
