Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

SENTINELONE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

SentinelOne, Inc. (SentinelOne, the Company, we, our, or us) was incorporated in January 2013 in the State of Delaware. We are a cybersecurity provider that delivers an artificial intelligence-powered platform to enable autonomous cybersecurity defense. Our headquarters is located in Mountain View, California with various other global office locations.

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (US). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SentinelOne and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fiscal Year

Our fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022 refer to the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, January 31, 2023 and January 31, 2022, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation, the period of benefit for deferred contract acquisition costs, useful lives of long-lived assets and intangibles, the valuation of intangibles acquired as part of a business combination, and accounting for income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment and Geographic Information

We have a single operating and reportable segment. Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing financial performance. For information regarding our revenue and long-lived assets by geography, see Note 3, Revenue and Contract Balances, and Note 14, Geographic Information, respectively.

Foreign Currency

During fiscal 2022, we changed the functional currency of certain subsidiaries from their respective local currency to the US dollar. The change in functional currency is due to increased exposure to the US dollar as a result of a change in facts and circumstances in the primary economic environment in which these subsidiaries operate. The effects of the change in functional currency were not significant to our consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent to the change, our reporting currency and the functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the US dollar. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and were not material for any periods presented.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

SENTINELONE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for the subscriptions and services. We apply the following five-step approach to recognize revenue:

(i)Identification of the Contract, or Contracts, with the Customer—We determine that we have a contract with a customer when the contract is approved, the payment terms for the services can be identified, each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred can be identified, the customer has the ability and intent to pay, and the contract has commercial substance. We apply judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intent to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, credit and financial information of the customer.

We sell through our indirect relationships with our channel partners or direct relationships with end customers through our internal sales force. Apart from certain sales arrangements where channel partners are determined to be our customers, we have concluded that the end customer is our customer.

(ii)Identification of the Performance Obligations in the Contract—Performance obligations in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to a customer that are both capable of being distinct, where the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, we apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

We have concluded that our contracts with customers do not contain warranties that give rise to a separate performance obligation.

(iii)Determination of the Transaction Price—The transaction price is the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled from a customer in exchange for providing the subscriptions and services. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in our judgment, it is probable that no significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will occur.

Some of our end customers are entitled to receive service level commitment credits, in which we may be contractually obligated to provide partial refunds, and in rare instances, each representing a form of variable consideration. We have historically not experienced any significant incidents affecting the defined guarantees of performance levels or service response affecting the defined guarantees of performance levels or service response rates, and accordingly, estimated refunds related to service level commitment credits in the consolidated financial statements were not material during fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022.

None of our contracts contain a significant financing component. The transaction price excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as sales taxes.

(iv)Allocation of the Transaction Price to the Performance Obligations in the Contract—If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling price (SSP). Certain arrangements include variable consideration that is typically a function of transaction volume or another usage-based measure. Depending upon the structure of a particular arrangement, we may allocate the variable amount to each distinct service period within the series (i.e. direct allocation).

(v)Recognition of Revenue when, or as, Performance Obligations are Satisfied—Revenue is recognized when control of the related performance obligation is transferred to the customer in an

SENTINELONE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for the subscriptions or services.

We generate substantially all of our revenue from subscriptions to our Singularity Platform. Our Singularity Platform delivers artificial intelligence-powered threat prevention, detection, and response capabilities, enabling an automatic protection against a full spectrum of cyber threats. We built our Singularity Platform to be deployed as a cloud service or in private and hybrid clouds. Customers can extend the functionality of their subscription to our platform by subscribing to additional Singularity Modules. The nature of our promise to the customer under the subscription is to stand ready to provide protection for the duration of the contractual term. As a result, we recognize revenue for these performance obligations ratably over the contractual term. Premium support and maintenance and other Singularity Modules are distinct from subscriptions and are recognized ratably over the term as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Certain arrangements include variable consideration related either to transaction volume or another usage-based measure. Depending upon the structure of a particular arrangement, we i) recognize revenue as each distinct service period is performed, ii) recognize the estimate of variable consideration ratably over the period to which it relates, or iii) apply the ‘right to invoice’ practical expedient and recognize revenue based on the amount invoiced to the customer during the period.

We generally invoice our customers upfront upon signing for the entire term of the contract, periodically, or in arrears. Most of our subscription contracts have a term ofone tothree years. Our payment terms typically range between 30 to 45 days. The invoiced amounts are treated as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets and are recognized ratably over the term of the contract beginning on the date the customer is given access to our platform. Our contracts are generally non-cancelable over the contractual term.

Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations

Our contracts with customers may contain multiple promised services consisting of subscriptions to our Singularity Platform, premium support and maintenance, and other Singularity Modules that are distinct and accounted for separately. The transaction price is allocated to separate performance obligations on a relative SSP basis. Our best evidence for SSP is the price we charge for the subscription or service when we sell it separately in similar circumstances to similar customers. In instances where performance obligations do not have observable standalone sales, we utilize available information that may include, but is not limited to, product groupings or applying the expected cost-plus margin approach to estimate the price we would charge if the service was sold separately.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of third-party cloud infrastructure expenses incurred in connection with the hosting and maintenance of our platform, personnel-related costs associated with our customer support and services organization, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of capitalized internal-use software, software and subscription services used by our customer support and services team, and allocated overhead costs.

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, unless they qualify for recognition as capitalized internal-use software. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation, consulting fees, software and subscription services, third-party cloud infrastructure expenses incurred in developing our platform and modules, and allocated overhead costs.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising expenses were $18.5 million, $12.3 million, and $8.4 million for fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

SENTINELONE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based awards issued to employees, directors, and non-employee consultants based on the fair value of the awards at grant date. The fair value of stock option awards granted and rights to purchase shares under our employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) are generally estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock-based compensation expense for awards with only service-based vesting conditions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Forfeitures are accounted for in the period in which they occur.

We granted certain awards that have both service-based vesting conditions and performance-based vesting conditions. For these awards, we recognize stock-based compensation expense on a graded basis over the total requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of performance tranches where it is probable that the performance-based vesting conditions will be achieved.

We also granted stock option awards with service-based, performance-based, and market-based vesting conditions to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. For these awards, stock-based compensation expense is recognized using the accelerated attribution method over the requisite implied service period when it is probable the performance-based vesting condition will be achieved.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the US and other foreign jurisdictions.

We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as from net operating loss carryforwards, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

A valuation allowance is established if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations, and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.

We recognize income tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if we believe that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. We recognize penalties and accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense, in the consolidated statements of operations.

Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

We compute basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders using the two-class method required for participating securities. We consider our redeemable convertible preferred stock, restricted common stock, and shares issued upon the early exercise of stock options subject to repurchase to be participating securities. Under the two-class method, net loss is not allocated to redeemable convertible preferred stock, restricted common stock, and early exercised stock options as the holders do not have a contractual obligation to share in our losses.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may consist of amounts invested in money market funds and certificates of deposit. Restricted cash consists of indemnity escrow funds related to acquisitions and collateralized letters of credit established in connection with lease agreements for our office facilities. Restricted cash, current and non-current, are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets.

SENTINELONE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash to the total of these amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

As of January 31,
20242023
Cash and cash equivalents$256,651$137,941
Restricted cash, current61,26461,264
Restricted cash, non-current4,1713,201
$322,086$202,406

Investments

We determine the appropriate classification of our investments at the time of purchase and reevaluate such determination at each balance sheet date. Investments not considered cash equivalents, and with maturities of one year or less from the consolidated balance sheet date, are classified as short-term investments. Investments with maturities greater than one year from the consolidated balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments. We classify our investments as available-for-sale securities. Our investments are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, if any, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). When evaluating whether an investment's unrealized losses are related to credit factors, we review factors such as the extent to which fair value is below its cost basis, any changes to the credit rating of the security, adverse conditions specifically related to the security, changes in market interest rates and our intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell, before recovery of cost basis. We invest in highly rated securities with a weighted average maturity of 18 months or less. In addition, our investment policy limits the amount of our credit exposure to any one issuer and requires investments to be investment grade, with the primary objective of preserving capital and maintaining liquidity. Fair values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio.

We did not identify any credit losses on investments as of January 31, 2024 and 2023. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined on a specific identification method and are recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments during fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022 were not significant.

Strategic Investments

Our strategic investments consist of non-marketable equity and debt investments in privately held companies. We elect to apply the measurement alternative and record non-marketable equity investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Non-marketable debt securities are recorded at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

Strategic investments are included within long-term investments on our consolidated balance sheets and adjustments to their carrying amounts are recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. During fiscal 2024, the Company recognized impairment charges of $0.8 million and realized gains of $3.5 million on its non-marketable strategic investments. Impairment charges and realized gains on strategic investments were recognized in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. There were no material events or circumstances impacting the carrying amount of our strategic investments during fiscal 2023 and 2022.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The carrying amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheets for accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and accrued payroll and benefits approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature.

SENTINELONE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, investments, and accounts receivable. We maintain our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions mainly in the US and Israel. We have not experienced any credit losses relating to our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments. For accounts receivable, we are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonpayment by customers to the extent of the amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. We perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral.

Channel partners that represented 10% or more of accounts receivable, net for the periods presented were as follows:

As of January 31,
20242023
Channel partner A26%20%
Channel partner B12%*
Channel partner C10%*
* Less than 10%

There were no end customers that represented 10% or more of accounts receivable as of January 31, 2024 or 2023.

The only channel partner that represented 10% or more of our total revenue for the periods presented was as follows:

Year Ended January 31,
202420232022
Channel partner A19%18%18%

There were no end customers that represented 10% or more of total revenue for fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and are non-interest bearing. We have a well-established collection history from our channel partners and end customers. We periodically evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable and provide an allowance for doubtful accounts as necessary, based on the age of the receivable, expected payment ability, and collection experience. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance was $0.7 million and $0.8 million as of January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Deferred Contract Acquisition Costs

We capitalize sales commissions and associated payroll taxes, and certain incentives (such as referral fees) paid to partners, that are incremental to obtaining a customer contract, which are recorded as deferred contract acquisition costs on the consolidated balance sheets. Sales commissions for the renewal of a contract are not considered commensurate with commissions paid for the initial contracts, given the substantive difference in commission rates in proportion to their respective contract values. Commissions paid, including certain incentives paid to partners, on a new contract are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated period of benefit offour years, while commissions paid on renewal contracts are amortized over the average contractual term of the renewal. We determine the estimated period of benefit based on both quantitative and qualitative factors, including the duration of our relationships with customers and the estimated useful life of our technology. Amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs is included in sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

SENTINELONE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We periodically review these deferred contract acquisition costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could impact the period of benefit. We did not recognize any impairment of deferred contract acquisition costs during fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Estimated Useful Life
Office furniture and equipment5 years
Computers, software, and electronic equipment3 years
Capitalized internal-use software4 years
Leasehold improvementsShorter of useful life or remaining term of lease

Costs for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Capitalized Internal-Use Software

We capitalize certain internal-use software development costs related to our cloud platform. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development and post-development are expensed as incurred. Internal and external costs incurred during the development phase, if direct, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for our intended use. We also capitalize costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized internal-use software is included in property and equipment and is amortized to cost of revenue on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Including Goodwill and Intangible Assets)

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the asset group. In fiscal 2024, we recorded a $2.4 million impairment loss related to our excess facilities. No impairment loss was recorded during fiscal 2023 and 2022.

Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. The impairment test consists of a qualitative assessment to determine if the quantitative assessment is required. Goodwill impairment is recognized when the quantitative assessment results in the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeding its fair value, net of related income tax effect, in which case an impairment charge is recorded to goodwill to the extent the carrying value exceeds the fair value, limited to the amount of goodwill. We did not recognize any impairment of goodwill during fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022.

SENTINELONE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Business Combinations

We account for our acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain identifiable assets include, but are not limited to, the selection of valuation methodologies, forecasted revenue, discount rates, and useful lives. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Acquisition costs, such as legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 4, Acquisitions, for additional information regarding our acquisitions.

Leases

In accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases, we determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception by evaluating various factors, including if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration and other facts and circumstances. Operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, which is the non-cancelable period stated in the contract adjusted for any options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

Lease payments consist of the fixed payments under the arrangement, less any lease incentives, such as tenant improvement allowances. Variable costs, comprised of maintenance and utilities based on actual usage, are not included in the measurement of operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities and are expensed when the event determining the amount of variable consideration to be paid occurs. When the implicit rate of the leases is not determinable, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We account for lease components and non-lease components as a single lease component. In addition, we do not recognize operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities for leases with lease terms of 12 months or less.

In addition, we sublease certain of our unoccupied facilities to third parties. We recognize sublease income on a straight-line basis over the sublease term.

We did not have any material finance leases during fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of a segment's profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of the ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is also permitted. This ASU

SENTINELONE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

will likely result in us including the additional required disclosures when adopted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. This ASU will result in the required additional disclosures being included in our consolidated financial statements, once adopted.

  1. REVENUE AND CONTRACT BALANCES

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table summarizes revenue by geography based on the shipping address of end customers who have contracted to use our platform for the periods presented (in thousands, except percentages):

Year Ended January 31,
202420232022
Amount% of RevenueAmount% of RevenueAmount% of Revenue
US$397,88564%$276,44365%$140,03468%

Total$621,154100%$422,179100%$204,799100%

No single country other than the US represented 10% or more of our revenue during fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Substantially all of our sales are fulfilled through channel partners, including distributors, resellers, managed security service providers, and others.

Contract Balances

Contract assets consist of unbilled accounts receivable, which arise when a right to consideration for our performance under the customer contract occurs before invoicing the customer. The amount of unbilled accounts receivable included within accounts receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets was $3.8 million and $1.5 million as of January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, which represents invoices billed in advance of performance under a contract. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue over the contractual period. The deferred revenue balance was $514.5 million and $406.3 million as of January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We recognized revenue of $305.7 million, $195.9 million and $95.5 million for fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, that was included in the corresponding contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Our contracts with customers typically range fromone tothree years. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents non-cancelable contract revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced in future periods.

For consumption and usage-based agreements with non-cancelable commitments, remaining performance obligations are determined based on the ratable recognition of the remaining commitment over the remaining contract term. The amount and timing of revenue recognition are generally dependent on customers’ future consumption, which is inherently variable at the customers’ discretion.

As of January 31, 2024, our remaining performance obligations were $896.2 million, of which we expect to recognize 87% as revenue over the next 24 months, with the remainder to be recognized thereafter.

SENTINELONE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Capitalized contract costs were $125.8 million and $93.4 million as of January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Amortization expense of contract costs was $48.7 million, $36.4 million, and $21.7 million for fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We periodically review deferred contract acquisition costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could impact the period of benefit. We did not recognize any impairment of deferred contract acquisition costs during fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022.

  1. ACQUISITIONS

KSG

On November 8, 2023, we completed our acquisition of Krebs Stamos Group LLC (KSG), a Washington D.C.-based privately held strategic advisory group. The purchase price of $13.9 million for all of the outstanding membership interests of KSG consisted of all cash and has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.

We recorded $4.8 million of net identifiable assets in our consolidated balance sheet as of the KSG acquisition date, of which $3.2 million was related to intangible assets. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired has been assigned to goodwill in the amount of $9.1 million. The goodwill in this transaction is primarily attributable to expected operational synergies and the assembled workforce. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, which will be amortized to sales and marketing expense on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life offour years. The results of operations of KSG have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, and would not have had a material impact on our combined results of operation if the acquisition had occurred on February 1, 2022. The estimates and assumptions regarding the fair value of certain tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the valuation of intangible assets acquired, income taxes, and goodwill are subject to change as we obtain additional information during the measurement period, which usually lasts for up to one year from the acquisition date.

In connection with the acquisition, we also granted PSUs under our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. For further details, refer to Note 10, Stock-Based Compensation. As the shares are subject to post-acquisition employment, we are accounting for them as post-acquisition compensation expense.

Attivo

On May 3, 2022, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Attivo Networks, Inc. (Attivo), an identity security and lateral movement protection company (the Attivo acquisition). Attivo expands our coverage of critical attack surfaces. Identity is an adjacent security solution that complements our core endpoint solution. The Attivo acquisition closed on May 3, 2022 and has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.

We had post-combination expense with a fair value of $32.9 million that was not included in the total purchase consideration, which is comprised of 307,396 shares of restricted common stock with an aggregate fair value of $10.0 million, and 378,828 assumed options with an aggregate fair value of $11.5 million. Restricted common stock and assumed options will be recognized as stock-based compensation expense. In addition, in connection with the acquisition, certain employees who were promised compensation related to their previous employment agreements will be paid $11.4 million in cash based on continued employment which will be recognized on a straight-line basis as acquisition-related compensation costs. All post-combination expense is expected to be recognized through May 2026. Post-combination compensation expense is subject to adjustment based on continuing service obligations to us of certain stockholders of Attivo.

In connection with the Attivo acquisition, we also granted RSUs and PSUs under our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. For further details, refer to Note 10, Stock-Based Compensation.

(1) Consideration calculated using the fair value of our common stock

The valuation of intangible assets acquired are included in Note 7, Intangible Assets.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired has been assigned to goodwill. Goodwill represents the future benefits resulting from the Attivo acquisition that will enhance the value of our product for both new and existing customers and strengthen our competitive position. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

We incurred $5.5 million of transaction expenses in connection with the Attivo acquisition during fiscal 2023. $3.2 million of these costs were recorded as general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations, with the remainder allocated to purchase price consideration. No transaction expenses in connection with the acquisition were recorded during fiscal 2024.

Scalyr

On February 6, 2021, we executed a merger agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Scalyr, Inc.

As part of the merger agreement, we entered into non-compete agreements with the founder and the co-founder of Scalyr with a term ofthree years and a fair value of $0.7 million. The fair value of the non-compete agreements was excluded from the purchase consideration and the net assets acquired, resulting in purchase consideration of $124.6 million.

  1. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We measure fair value based on a three-level hierarchy, maximizing the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs, as follows:

Level 1: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on observable inputs such as quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on inputs from quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the overall fair value measurement.

There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022. As of January 31, 2024, all of our investments will mature within two years.

As of January 31, 2024, we determined that the declines in the market value of our investment portfolio were not driven by credit related factors. During the years ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, we did not recognize any losses on our investments due to credit related factors. As of January 31, 2024, we had $2.1 million in continuous unrealized loss positions for more than twelve months on securities with a total fair value of $437.2 million.

The tables above do not include the Company’s strategic investments in non-marketable debt and equity securities, which are recorded at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer (measurement alternative) and were $16.1 million and $12.5 million as of January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

During the year ended January 31, 2024, the Company recognized impairment charges on its non-marketable strategic investments of $0.8 million. During the year ended January 31, 2024, the Company recognized realized gains of $3.5 million on its non-marketable strategic investments. Impairment charges and realized gains on strategic investments were recognized in other income (expense), net. The fair value was estimated on a non-recurring basis based on Level 3 inputs.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

In May 2021, our board of directors and in June 2021, our stockholders approved our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (2021 Plan) as a successor to our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (2013 Plan) and 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (2011 Plan) with the purpose of granting stock-based awards to employees, directors, officers and consultants, including stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (RSUs), and performance stock units (PSUs). A total of 35,281,596 shares of Class A common stock were initially available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. Our compensation committee administers the 2021 Plan. The number of shares of our Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan is subject to an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning on February 1, 2022, equal to the lesser of: (i) five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of all classes of our common stock as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year or (ii) such other amount as our board of directors may determine.

The 2013 Plan and 2011 Plan (together, the Prior Plans) were terminated in June 2021, in connection with the adoption of our 2021 Plan, and stock-based awards are no longer granted under the Prior Plans. However, the Prior Plans will continue to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards previously granted thereunder. Any shares underlying stock options that are expired, canceled, forfeited or repurchased under the Prior Plans will be automatically transferred to the 2021 Plan and be available for issuance as Class A common stock.

As such, we have not recorded any stock-based compensation expense and have no unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to these PSUs.

In November 2023, we granted 312,686 PSUs with a grant date fair value of $5.4 million subject to service-based and performance-based vesting conditions to retain the services of certain former KSG employees. These PSUs will vest 100% upon the achievement of certain financial performance and integration milestone events, subject to the employees’ continued service to us from the grant date through the milestone events or target dates.

There were no options granted during fiscal 2024 and 2023. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during fiscal 2022 was $13.14 per share.

The aggregate intrinsic value is the difference between the exercise price and the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $170.1 million, $173.0 million and $333.7 million, respectively.

As of January 31, 2024, we had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested options of $51.8 million that is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 1.85 years.

Milestone Options

In March 2021, we granted 1,404,605 options to purchase shares of common stock subject to service-based, performance-based, and market-based vesting conditions to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer under the 2013 Plan. These stock options will vest 100% upon the occurrence of i) our IPO (the performance-based vesting condition), which was completed in June 2021, and ii) the achievement of a certain market capitalization target (the market-based vesting condition), subject to the executive’s continued service to us from the grant date through the milestone event. As of January 31, 2024, the market capitalization target has not yet been achieved, and therefore, these milestone options remain unvested. For these options, we used a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value at the grant date and the implied service period.

We recorded stock-based compensation expense related to these milestone options of $3.6 million, $3.6 million, and $3.1 million during fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. As of January 31, 2024, we had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested milestone options of $9.1 million, that is expected to be recognized over the remaining implied service period of 2.6 years.

Restricted Common Stock

In connection with the Attivo acquisition, we issued restricted Class A common stock to Attivo’s employees. We recorded stock-based compensation expense related to these restricted shares in connection with the Attivo acquisition of $0.7 million and $1.0 million during fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of January 31, 2024, we had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to this unvested restricted common stock of $0.3 million.

In connection with the Scalyr acquisition, we granted 1,315,099 shares of restricted common stock.

As of January 31, 2024, this restricted common stock has fully vested.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

In May 2021, our board of directors, and in June 2021, our stockholders approved our ESPP, which became effective on the date of effectiveness of our Final Prospectus, or June 29, 2021. The ESPP initially reserved and authorized the issuance of up to a total of 7,056,319 shares of common stock to eligible employees. The number of shares reserved for issuance and sale under the ESPP will automatically increase on the first day of each fiscal year, starting on February 1, 2022 for the firstten calendar years after the first offering date, in an amount equal to (i)1% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of all class our common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) such other amount as the administrator of the ESPP may determine. The ESPP generally provides forsix-month offering periods beginning January 6 and July 6 of each year, with each offering period consisting of singlesix-month purchase periods, except for the initial offering period which began on July 1, 2021, and ended on July 5, 2023. On each purchase date, eligible employees will purchase the shares at a price per share equal to 85% of the lesser of i) the fair market value of our common stock as of the beginning of the offering period or ii) the fair market value of our common stock on the purchase date, as defined in the ESPP, except for the initial offering period that had a 24-month look back to the IPO price of $35.

We recognized stock-based compensation expense related to ESPP of $11.7 million, $12.7 million, and $5.5 million during fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Modifications

During fiscal 2024 and 2023, certain members of our management team converted to non-employee consultants or to positions that no longer provide substantive service to the Company (Management Transitions). The Management Transitions have been accounted for as modifications, under which, the exercise period of certain vested awards has been extended and a certain number of unvested awards will vest through the end of the agreements entered into in connection with the Management Transitions.

During fiscal 2024 and 2023, we recognized an incremental charge of $6.2 million and $4.5 million, respectively, related to the Management Transitions.

  1. RESTRUCTURING

In June 2023, we announced a restructuring plan (the Plan) as a result of a review of current strategic priorities, resource allocation, and cost reduction intended to reduce operating costs, improve operating margins and continue advancing our ongoing commitment to profitable growth. The Plan includes a reduction of our workforce by approximately 5%, or approximately 100 full-time employees. We incurred approximately $7.4 million in charges in connection with the Plan in fiscal 2024, which consists of $5.4 million in charges related to severance payments and employee benefits, $2.4 million of impairment charges related to excess facilities, $0.7 million related to inventory write-offs, offset partially by $1.1 million in savings related to the reversal of certain stock-based compensation expense. Note that the charges related to inventory write-offs are recognized as cost of sales and not restructuring operating expenses in our consolidated financial statements of operations. These costs were paid as of January 31, 2024. The actions associated with the Plan are expected to be fully complete by the end of fiscal 2025, subject to finalizing the disposition of certain office space.

Based upon available objective evidence, we believe it is more likely than not that the US and Israel net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, we have established a valuation allowance for the US and Israel gross deferred tax assets. As of January 31, 2024 and 2023, we had a valuation allowance of $341.0 million and $291.8 million, respectively, against our deferred tax assets. During fiscal 2024 and 2023, total valuation allowance increased by $49.2 million and $72.8 million, respectively, primarily due to additional net operating losses.

SENTINELONE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of January 31, 2024, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $721.2 million, which will begin to expire in 2031, and state net operating loss carryforwards of $390.6 million, which will begin to expire in 2025. We also had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $202.8 million, which do not expire.

In addition, we had federal research and development credit carryforwards of $5.9 million, which will begin to expire in 2037, and state research and development credit carryforwards of $2.9 million, which do not expire.

Federal and state tax laws impose substantial restrictions on the utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards in the event of an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, our ability to utilize these carryforwards may be limited as a result of such ownership change. Such a limitation could result in the expiration of carryforwards before they are utilized. The carryforwards are currently subject to a valuation allowance.

Foreign withholding taxes have not been provided for the cumulative undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of us as of January 31, 2024 and 2023 due to our intention to permanently reinvest such earnings. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable.

We file income tax returns in the US federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Our tax years generally remain open and subject to examination by federal, state, or foreign tax authorities. We are currently under examination by the Israel Tax Authorities for the 2017 through 2021 tax years. We are not currently under audit in any other tax jurisdictions.

The changes in the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits consisted of the following (in thousands):

As of January 31,
202420232022
Balance at beginning of year$1,013$566$534
Gross increases for tax positions of current year1,02744732
Gross increases for tax positions of prior year157——
Balance at end of year$2,197$1,013$566

We recognize interests and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. We do not anticipate that its total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change during the next 12 months.

  1. NET LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents to the extent they are dilutive. For purposes of this calculation, stock options, restricted common stock, RSUs, PSUs, shares purchased pursuant to our ESPP, and early exercised stock options are considered to be common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as their effect is anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting, conversion, and transfer rights. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class of common stock and the

resulting basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders are, therefore, the same for both Class A and Class B common stock on both an individual and combined basis.

  1. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Contingencies

From time to time, we may be a party to various legal proceedings and subject to claims in the ordinary course of business.

SENTINELONE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Securities Litigation

On June 6, 2023, a securities class action was filed against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, in the Northern District of California, captioned Johansson v. SentinelOne, Inc., Case No. 4:23-cv-02786. The suit is brought on behalf of an alleged class of stockholders who purchased or acquired shares of the Company’s Class A common stock between June 1, 2022 and June 1, 2023. The complaint alleges that defendants made false or misleading statements about the Company's business, operations and prospects, including its annual recurring revenues and internal controls, and purports to assert claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. A substantially similar suit was filed on June 16, 2023 in the same court against the same defendants asserting the same claims, captioned Nyren v. SentinelOne, Inc., Case No. 4:23-cv-02982. On October 4, 2023, the court issued an order consolidating both cases under the caption In re SentinelOne, Inc. Securities Litigation Case No. 4:23-cv-02786 and appointing a lead plaintiff. Lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint on December 18, 2023. Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint on February 16, 2024. We believe the case is without merit and intend to defend the suit vigorously.

Fortis Litigation

In September 2023, Fortis Advisors LLC (Fortis), in its capacity as the representative for the stockholders of Attivo, filed an action against the Company in Delaware Chancery Court asserting claims arising out of the Attivo Acquisition. The case is captioned Fortis Advisors LLC v. SentinelOne, Inc., Case No. 2023-0946-VLM.

In June 2023, the Company sent a letter to Fortis seeking indemnification for certain claims, including for breaches by Attivo of its representations and warranties in the merger agreement. Fortis is now seeking a declaratory judgment that the Company is not entitled to indemnification for the claims it has asserted, and that Fortis should recover the funds held in escrow. Fortis also alleges that the Company breached its representations and warranties in the merger agreement because its SEC filings allegedly contained materially false or misleading statements about the Company’s annual recurring revenues. The Company believes Fortis’ claims are without merit and intends to defend the suit vigorously. On November 3, 2023, the Company filed its answer to Fortis’ complaint. On the same day, the Company filed counterclaims against Fortis, in its capacity as the representative of the stockholders of Attivo, based on Attivo’s breach of several of its representations, warranties and covenants in the merger agreement. The Company’s counterclaims seek an order directing Fortis to comply with its contractual obligations to release funds set aside to indemnify the Company for its losses and any additional damages in excess of the indemnity fund.

Derivative Litigation

On January 10, 2024, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed, naming the Company’s Board of Directors, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer as defendants, and the Company as nominal defendant. The action was filed in the United States District Court, District of Delaware, and is captioned Stochevski v. Weingarten, et al., Case No. 4:24-cv-00024. The complaint alleges that the director and officer defendants breached their fiduciary duties by making or failing to correct false or misleading statements about the Company’s business, operations and prospects, including its annual recurring revenues and internal controls.

We believe that there are no other pending or threatened legal proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Warranties and Indemnification

Our services are generally warranted to deliver and operate in a manner consistent with general industry standards that are reasonably applicable and materially conform with our documentation under normal use and circumstances. Our contracts generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if our products or services infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights.

We also offer a limited warranty to certain customers, subject to certain conditions, to cover certain costs incurred by the customer in case of a cybersecurity breach. We have a cybersecurity liability policy that may cover

SENTINELONE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

our customers’ actual damages. We have not incurred any material costs related to such obligations and have not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the consolidated balance sheets as of January 31, 2024 and 2023.

In addition, we also indemnify certain of our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities that may arise while they are serving in good faith in their company capacities. We maintain director and officer liability insurance coverage that would generally enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.

  1. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

Our US employees participate in a 401(k) defined contribution plan sponsored by us. Contributions to the plan are discretionary. We made $2.6 million and $2.8 million in matching contributions for fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. There wereno matching contributions for fiscal 2022.

Israeli Severance Pay

Israeli labor law generally requires payment of severance pay upon dismissal of an employee or upon termination of employment in certain other circumstances. Pursuant to Section 14 of the Severance Compensation Act, 1963 (Section 14), all of our employees in Israel are entitled to monthly deposits made in their name with insurance companies, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary.

These payments release us from any future severance payment obligation with respect to these employees; as such, any liability for severance pay due to these employees and the deposits under Section 14 are not recorded as an asset on our consolidated balance sheets. For fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022, we recorded $3.5 million, $3.9 million, and $3.7 million, respectively, in severance expenses related to these employees.

  1. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 1, 2024, we completed the acquisition of PingSafe Pte. Ltd. (PingSafe) to provide customers better automation across their entire cloud footprint. We acquired 100% of the shares of PingSafe for total consideration of approximately $57.5 million in cash and 2,354,607 shares of our Class A common stock, subject to customary adjustments set forth in the purchase agreement.

On February 1, 2024, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Stride Security Ltd. (Stride), a security automation company. The aggregate consideration for the Stride acquisition is approximately $7.5 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments. In addition, approximately $7.5 million will be earned over three years, subject to continued employment.

The PingSafe and Stride acquisitions will be accounted for as business combinations in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations and, accordingly, the total purchase price will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values on the date of acquisition. We are currently working on the preliminary purchase price allocations and expect them to be completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
