UiPath, the automation software developer, is set to reduce its workforce by 10%, equivalent to around 420 jobs, as part of a broader restructuring initiative. The company disclosed this information in a filing with the SEC on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Most of these layoffs will be implemented by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2026, which concludes next April.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, UiPath shares dropped approximately 7%, closing at $11.93, and have now lost over half their value this year, despite the Nasdaq\u2019s 23% gain over the same period. The company has been grappling with a significant slowdown in revenue growth since its IPO in 2021, which was one of the largest U.S. software offerings on record.<\/p>\n
In May, UiPath reported better-than-expected fiscal first-quarter earnings but revised its full-year revenue guidance downward. The company now anticipates revenue between $1.4 billion and $1.41 billion, down from the previous forecast of $1.55 billion to $1.56 billion. This new guidance indicates an annual growth of about 7.5%, a stark decline from the 24% growth in the prior year.<\/p>\n
UiPath\u2019s software automates repetitive tasks. In May, the company announced the resignation of CEO Rob Enslin, effective June 1, and the succession by co-founder Daniel Dines, who had stepped down as co-CEO in January. This leadership change caused the stock to plummet by 30%.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, UiPath stated it expects to incur $15 million to $20 million in costs related to the layoffs and total restructuring costs between $17 million and $25 million. The company had previously announced two rounds of job cuts in 2022.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese changes reflect efforts to reshape the organization by streamlining the Company\u2019s structure, particularly in operational and corporate functions, better prioritizing our go-to-market investments and focusing our research and development investments on artificial intelligence and driving innovation across our platform,\u201d UiPath said in Tuesday\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
