The shares of Romanian-born robotic processing automation (RPA) company UiPath (NYSE: PATH) closed the trading session on Wednesday 9.6% lower than on the previous day after the company’s first quarterly earnings report since its April listing, according to Romania-Insider.com.

UiPath posted a net loss of USD 239.6 mln for the first quarter of 2021, 4.5 times higher than in the same quarter of last year. However, UiPath reported a 65% increase in revenues to USD 186 mln.

The company’s business performance, measured with the annualized renewal run-rate (ARR) indicator, also improved by 64% to USD 652.6 mln.

For the whole year, UiPath expects an ARR in the range of USD 850-855 mln.
