Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Fiscal Year	Basis of Presentation and Fiscal Year—The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to February 1. Every sixth fiscal year is a 53-week year. Fiscal years 2025 and 2023 both consisted of 52 weeks, with the fourth quarter consisting of 13 weeks, and fiscal year 2024 consisted of 53 weeks, with the fourth quarter consisting of 14 weeks.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Samsara and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such management estimates include, but are not limited to, the fair value of stock-based awards, internal-use software development costs, sales return reserve, accrued liabilities and contingencies, depreciation and amortization periods, lease modification, impairment, and related charges, and accounting for income taxes. Actual results could materially differ from the estimates and assumptions made.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Investments	Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Investments—The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.
Investments	The Company’s investments in marketable debt securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale and are recorded at estimated fair value. The Company determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determination at each balance sheet date and classifies its marketable debt securities as either short-term or long-term based on their remaining contractual maturities. Short-term investments are investments with original or remaining maturities of one year or less at each balance sheet date. Purchase premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method over the life of the related security and such amortization and accretion are included in “Interest income and other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale marketable debt securities are recorded through an allowance for credit losses with a corresponding charge in “Interest income and other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. When identifying and measuring impairment, the Company excludes the applicable accrued interest from both the fair value and amortized cost basis. For available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its entire amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through “Interest income and other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. If neither of these criteria is met, the Company further assesses whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost is due to credit or non-credit related factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. Credit-related unrealized losses are recognized as an allowance on the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding charge in “Interest income and other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Non-credit related unrealized losses and unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in “Interest income and other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. See Note 4,
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable consist of current trade receivables from customers, net of allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is estimated based on the Company’s assessment of the collectibility of accounts receivable by considering various factors, including customer creditworthiness and the related aging of past-due balances, historical write-off experience, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions over the life of the receivable. Management evaluates customer accounts periodically, and accounts receivable deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance for credit losses when identified.
Inventories	Inventories—Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. The Company’s inventory consists of finished goods and raw materials and management assesses the valuation of inventory and periodically writes down the value for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
Property and Equipment, Net	Property and Equipment, Net—Property and equipment, net, are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company uses an estimated useful life of five years for office equipment and furniture and fixtures. The Company uses an estimated useful life of three years to five years for computers. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related asset. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization of fully depreciated property and equipment are removed from the consolidated balance sheets when they are no longer in use.
Leases	Leases—The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception or modification. The Company evaluates the lease terms to determine whether the lease will be accounted for as an operating or finance lease. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current operating lease liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset over the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company does not include any anticipated lease incentives in the recognition of an ROU asset, but rather records the incentive upon receipt. The carrying amount of ROU assets and operating lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company’s accounting for lease terms will include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company accounts for lease terminations when a lease is no longer legally binding and the Company no longer has the right to control the use of the asset. When the conditions for a lease termination are met, the Company recognizes the lease termination by removing the ROU asset and the operating lease liability from its consolidated balance sheet, with a gain or loss recognized for the difference.
Strategic Investments	Strategic Investments—The Company may invest in strategic investments, which consist of non-marketable securities in privately-held companies in which the Company does not have a controlling interest or significant influence. The Company applies the measurement alternative for non-marketable equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values, measuring them at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. For these investments, the Company recognizes remeasurement adjustments, including upward and downward adjustments, and impairments, if any, in “Interest income and other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Strategic investments are subject to periodic impairment analysis, which involves an assessment of both qualitative and quantitative factors, including the investee’s financial metrics, market acceptance of the investee’s product or technology, and the rate at which the investee is using its cash. An impairment loss is recorded when an event or circumstance indicates a decline in value has occurred. If the strategic investment is considered impaired, the Company recognizes an impairment through “Interest income and other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and establishes a new carrying value for the investment.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition—Subscription revenue is generated from subscriptions to access the Company’s Connected Operations Platform. Subscription agreements contain multiple service elements for one or more of the Company’s cloud-based Applications via mobile app(s) or a website that enable data collection and provide access to the cellular network, generally one or more wireless gateways, cameras, sensors and other devices (collectively, “connected devices” or “Internet of Things (“IoT”) devices”), support services delivered over the term of the arrangement and warranty coverage. The Company’s Connected Operations Platform and the related connected device access points are highly interdependent and interrelated, and represent a combined performance obligation, which is recognized over the related subscription period. The Company’s subscription contracts typically have an initial term of three to five years and are generally non-cancelable and non-refundable, subject to limited exceptions under the standard terms of service and other exceptions for public sector customers, who are often subject to annual budget appropriations cycles. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: •Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer—A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods or services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance, and (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for goods or services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company’s contracts are typically evidenced through a signed Company quote or a customer purchase order and Company quote. At contract inception, the Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract and whether the combined or single contract includes more than one performance obligation. •Identification of the performance obligations in the contract—Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the goods or services either on their own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised goods or services, the Company applies judgment to determine whether promised goods or services are capable of being distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised goods or services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. The Company has determined that its integrated solution represents a combined performance obligation as the cloud-based Applications and connected devices, individually, are not distinct within the context of customer contracts because they are highly interdependent and interrelated. In reaching this conclusion, the Company considered the context of the contract and the nature of its promise to provide the customer with actionable insights to manage their operations. Specifically, the Company’s connected devices, including the embedded proprietary firmware, are updated continuously by its Connected Operations Platform using artificial intelligence and machine learning models to improve the capture, aggregation, and enrichment of data by the connected devices. Additionally, the Company’s Connected Operations Platform then utilizes this data to deliver actionable insights that are promised to its customers throughout the term of their subscription to Applications on the Connected Operations Platform. As a result of the highly interdependent and interrelated nature of the integrated service provided, these arrangements are accounted for as a combined performance obligation to the customer. Additionally, the Company has certain accessories sold in connection with its integrated sensor solution, which have been determined to be separate performance obligations. •Determination of the transaction price—The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. Such amounts are stated within the customer contracts. •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 a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) basis. The Company determines SSP based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the SSP is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the SSP taking into consideration available information, such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. •Recognition of revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation—The Company satisfies substantially all of its performance obligations over time. Specifically, the combined cloud-based application and connected device performance obligation and related support services and warranty coverage represent stand-ready performance obligations provided throughout the term the customer has access to the platform. Revenue recognition commences ratably when control of the services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services over the contractual term. Other revenue is generally recognized at a point in time and is earned through the sale of replacement gateways, sensors and cameras, as well as related shipping and handling fees, credit card processing fees, and professional services. For revenue generated from contracts that involve third parties, the Company evaluates whether it is the principal, and reports revenue on a gross basis, or the agent, and reports revenue on a net basis. In this assessment, the Company considers if it obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer, as well as other indicators such as the party primarily responsible for fulfillment, inventory risk, and discretion in establishing price. Deferred Revenue—Deferred revenue represents amounts billed to customers or payments received from customers for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Deferred revenue primarily consists of prepayments made by customers for future periods and, to a lesser extent, the unearned portion of monthly-billed subscription fees. A portion of customer contracts is paid in advance for the full, multi-year term. Additionally, the Company enables its customers to prepay all, or part, of their contractual obligations monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. As a result, the deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of all multi-year, non-cancelable subscription agreements. The current portion of deferred revenue represents the amount that is expected to be recognized within one year of the consolidated balance sheet date.
Cost of Revenue	Cost of Revenue—Cost of revenue consists primarily of the amortization of IoT device costs associated with subscription agreements, third-party cloud and cellular infrastructure costs, customer support costs, warranty costs, and employee-related costs directly associated with our customer support and operations, including salaries, employee benefits and stock-based compensation, amortization of internal-use software development and certain cloud computing implementation costs, expenses related to shipping and handling, packaging, fulfillment, warehousing, write-downs of excess and obsolete inventory, and costs associated with software subscriptions, office facilities, IT-related expenses, and depreciation and amortization of property and equipment. Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract Deferred Commissions—The Company capitalizes commissions paid to sales employees and the related payroll taxes, as well as commissions paid to referral partners, when customer contracts are executed. These costs are recorded as deferred commissions on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company determines whether costs should be deferred based on its sales compensation plans and if the commissions are incremental and would not have been incurred absent the execution of the customer contract. The Company amortizes sales commissions paid on the initial contract over an expected period of benefit, which the Company has determined to be five years. The Company has determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration the terms of its customer contracts, duration of its customer relationships, and the life of its technology. Commissions paid upon the renewal of a contract are amortized as expense ratably over the renewal term. Amortization of these costs is included in sales and marketing expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Connected Devices—For typical sales arrangements, the Company capitalizes the cost of connected devices sold to customers upon shipment and the capitalized cost is recorded as connected device costs, which the Company also refers to as IoT device costs, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company capitalizes connected device costs associated with subscription contracts as contract fulfillment costs where the connected device is not distinct from other undelivered obligations in the customer contract. These costs are directly related to customer contracts, are expected to be recoverable, and enhance the resources used to satisfy the undelivered performance obligations in those contracts. Connected device costs are amortized over a period of benefit of five years. The Company determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration the expected life of the connected device, the connected device’s warranty period, past experience with customers, the duration of the Company’s relationships with its customers, and other available information. Amortization of these costs is included in cost of revenue on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Research and Development	Research and Development—Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee-related costs, including salaries, employee benefits and stock-based compensation, depreciation and other expenses related to prototyping IoT devices, product initiatives, software subscriptions, hosting and cellular-related costs used in research and development, and costs associated with office facilities, IT-related expenses, and depreciation and amortization of property and equipment. The Company continues to focus its research and development efforts on adding new features and products and enhancing the utility of its Connected Operations Platform. The Company capitalizes the portion of its internal-use software development costs that meets the criteria for capitalization.
Internal-Use Software Development and Cloud Computing Arrangement Implementation Costs	Internal-Use Software Development and Cloud Computing Arrangement Implementation Costs—The Company capitalizes qualifying internal-use software development costs related to its Connected Operations Platform. The costs consist of personnel costs (including related benefits and stock-based compensation) that are incurred during the software development stage. Capitalization of costs begins when three criteria are met: (1) the preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, (2) management has authorized and committed project funding, and (3) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. Capitalization ceases when the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, including the completion of all substantial testing. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation operating activities are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are included in property and equipment, net, on the consolidated balance sheets. These costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software, which is two years, on a straight-line basis, which represents the manner in which the expected benefit will be derived. The amortization of costs related to the software is primarily included in cost of revenue on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company also enters into certain cloud-based software hosting arrangements that are accounted for as service contracts. For internal-use software obtained through a hosting arrangement that is in the nature of a service contract, the Company incurs certain implementation costs such as integration, configuration, and software customization, which are consistent with costs incurred during the application development stage for internal-use software. The Company applies the same guidance to determine costs that are eligible for capitalization. Capitalized costs related to the implementation of cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts are included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Other assets, non-current” on the consolidated balance sheets. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the fixed, non-cancelable term of the associated hosting arrangement plus any reasonably certain renewal periods and are included in the same line item on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as the associated hosting arrangement fees.
Advertising and Promotional Costs	Advertising and Promotional Costs—Advertising and promotional costs, which are expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expense
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment at the asset group level, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets or an asset group by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through their undiscounted expected future cash flow. If the future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of these assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation—The Company measures compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on the estimated fair values on the date of grant. The Company’s stock-based awards include stock options, RSUs, and shares issued or to be issued under the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2021 ESPP”). RSUs granted by the Company prior to its IPO in December 2021 had service and performance vesting conditions while stock options, as well as RSUs granted subsequent to its IPO, only have a service vesting condition. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of employee stock options and shares to be issued under the 2021 ESPP has been determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using various inputs, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, estimates of expected volatility, expected term, risk-free rate, and future dividends. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of four years for stock options and approximately the one-year duration of each offering period for shares to be issued under the 2021 ESPP. The fair value of RSUs granted after the IPO is based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of RSUs granted prior to the IPO was determined at the grant date by the Company’s Board of Directors. For RSUs granted prior to the Company’s IPO, which generally has a four-year service condition, expense was recognized when the performance vesting condition was satisfied upon the effective date of the Company’s IPO. At that date, cumulative stock-based compensation expense using the graded vesting method for those RSUs for which the service condition had been satisfied prior to the performance vesting condition was recognized and the remaining expense will be thereafter recognized over the remaining vesting period of the award under a graded vesting method. For RSUs granted subsequent to its IPO, the Company recognizes the expense on a straight-line basis, over the requisite service period. The service condition for these awards is generally a vesting period over four years for RSUs granted through fiscal year 2023 and either three or four years for RSUs granted after fiscal year 2023. The contractual term of the Company’s stock options and RSUs granted prior to its IPO is 10 years and seven years, respectively.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes—The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized. The Company uses a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. A tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority.
Translation of Foreign Currencies	Translation of Foreign Currencies—The Company predominantly uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities and transactions denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency are remeasured into its functional currency using current exchange rates, whereas nonmonetary assets and liabilities are remeasured using historical exchange rates. The Company recognizes gains and losses from such remeasurements within “Interest income and other income, net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period of occurrence. For non-U.S. subsidiaries using local currency as the functional currency, the Company records the translation of their assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date as translation adjustments and includes them as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” on the consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in “Interest income and other income, net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and have not been material for all periods presented.
Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders	Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders—Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. Prior to the automatic conversion of all series of its convertible preferred stock outstanding into Class B common stock upon the completion of the IPO, the Company considered all series of its convertible preferred stock to be participating securities. Under the two-class method, the net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the convertible preferred stock as the holders of its convertible preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company’s losses. Net loss is attributed to common stockholders and participating securities based on their participation rights. Basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders 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, RSUs, shares issued under an employee stock purchase plan, and convertible preferred stock 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, Class B, and Class C common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion rights. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class of common stock. As a result, the basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders are the same for all classes of Samsara’s common stock, on both an individual and combined basis, and therefore are presented together.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements—Fair value accounting is applied for all assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on the reporting date on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company follows the established framework for measuring fair value in accordance with US GAAP. The Company reports financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. The authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3—Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	Concentrations of Credit Risk—Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, investments in marketable debt securities, and trade accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held on deposit with creditworthy domestic institutions. The Company invests its excess cash in low-risk, highly liquid money market funds. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts. The Company also maintains its investments in marketable debt securities with high-quality financial institutions with investment-grade ratings. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security in support of accounts receivable. Allowances are provided for individual accounts receivable when the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, such as in the case of bankruptcy, deterioration in the customer’s operating results, or a change in financial position. If circumstances related to a customer change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted. The Company also considers broader factors in evaluating the sufficiency of its allowances for credit losses, including the length of times receivables are past due, significant one-time events, and historical experience.
Employee Benefit Plan	Employee Benefit Plan—The Company sponsors a qualified 401(k) defined contribution plan covering eligible employees. Eligible participants may contribute a portion of their annual compensation limited to a maximum annual amount set by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company provides dollar-for-dollar matching contributions of each participant’s contributions up to a maximum of 4% of the participant’s eligible compensation under this plan, and participants vest immediately in all contributions.
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies—Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement—In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This standard requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. The ASU does not change the current guidance related to the identification of operating segments, the determination of reportable segments, or the aggregation criteria. Rather, the new guidance introduces additional disclosure requirements and expands those requirements to entities with a single reportable segment, not just entities with multiple reportable segments. This guidance was effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, and subsequent interim periods. The Company adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 and resulted in expanded financial statement disclosures of its segment expenses. See Note 13, “Segment Information,” for further information. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This standard requires further transparency to income tax disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance is effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2026 and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company adopted this guidance on February 2, 2025 and will apply it on a prospective basis, which will result in additional disaggregation of certain tax information within the Company’s income tax footnote disclosure. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted—In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This standard requires disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization. As clarified on the subsequent amendment, ASU No. 2025-01, issued by the FASB in January 2025, this guidance is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending January 29, 2028, and subsequent interim periods. Early adoption is permitted and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of its adoption of this ASU and the impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded they were either not applicable or not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Feb. 01, 2025

Basis of Presentation and Fiscal Year—The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to February 1. Every sixth fiscal year is a 53-week year. Fiscal years 2025 and 2023 both consisted of 52 weeks, with the fourth quarter consisting of 13 weeks, and fiscal year 2024 consisted of 53 weeks, with the fourth quarter consisting of 14 weeks.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Samsara and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such management estimates include, but are not limited to, the fair value of stock-based awards, internal-use software development costs, sales return reserve, accrued liabilities and contingencies, depreciation and amortization periods, lease modification, impairment, and related charges, and accounting for income taxes. Actual results could materially differ from the estimates and assumptions made.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Investments

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Investments—The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.

Investments

The Company’s investments in marketable debt securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale and are recorded at estimated fair value. The Company determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determination at each balance sheet date and classifies its marketable debt securities as either short-term or long-term based on their remaining contractual maturities. Short-term investments are investments with original or remaining maturities of one year or less at each balance sheet date. Purchase premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method over the life of the related security and such amortization and accretion are included in “Interest income and other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Credit losses relating to available-for-sale marketable debt securities are recorded through an allowance for credit losses with a corresponding charge in “Interest income and other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. When identifying and measuring impairment, the Company excludes the applicable accrued interest from both the fair value and amortized cost basis.

For available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its entire amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through “Interest income and other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. If neither of these criteria is met, the Company further assesses whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost is due to credit or non-credit related factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. Credit-related unrealized losses are recognized as an allowance on the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding charge in “Interest income and other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Non-credit related unrealized losses and unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Realized gains and losses are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in “Interest income and other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. See Note 4,

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable consist of current trade receivables from customers, net of allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is estimated based on the Company’s assessment of the collectibility of accounts receivable by considering various factors, including customer creditworthiness and the related aging of past-due balances, historical write-off experience, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions over the life of the receivable. Management evaluates customer accounts periodically, and accounts receivable deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance for credit losses when identified.

Inventories

Inventories—Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. The Company’s inventory consists of finished goods and raw materials and management assesses the valuation of inventory and periodically writes down the value for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and Equipment, Net—Property and equipment, net, are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company uses an estimated useful life of five years for office equipment and furniture and fixtures. The Company uses an estimated useful life of three years to five years for computers. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related asset. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization of fully depreciated property and equipment are removed from the consolidated balance sheets when they are no longer in use.

Leases

Leases—The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception or modification. The Company evaluates the lease terms to determine whether the lease will be accounted for as an operating or finance lease. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current operating lease liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset over the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company does not include any anticipated lease incentives in the recognition of an ROU asset, but rather records the incentive upon receipt. The carrying amount of ROU assets and operating lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company’s accounting for lease terms will include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company accounts for lease terminations when a lease is no longer legally binding and the Company no longer has the right to control the use of the asset. When the conditions for a lease termination are met, the Company recognizes the lease termination by removing the ROU asset and the operating lease liability from its consolidated balance sheet, with a gain or loss recognized for the difference.

Strategic Investments

Strategic Investments—The Company may invest in strategic investments, which consist of non-marketable securities in privately-held companies in which the Company does not have a controlling interest or significant influence.

The Company applies the measurement alternative for non-marketable equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values, measuring them at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. For these investments, the Company recognizes remeasurement adjustments, including upward and downward adjustments, and impairments, if any, in “Interest income and other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Strategic investments are subject to periodic impairment analysis, which involves an assessment of both qualitative and quantitative factors, including the investee’s financial metrics, market acceptance of the investee’s product or technology, and the rate at which the investee is using its cash. An impairment loss is recorded when an event or circumstance indicates a decline in value has occurred. If the strategic investment is considered impaired, the Company recognizes an impairment through “Interest income and other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and establishes a new carrying value for the investment.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition—Subscription revenue is generated from subscriptions to access the Company’s Connected Operations Platform. Subscription agreements contain multiple service elements for one or more of the Company’s cloud-based Applications via mobile app(s) or a website that enable data collection and provide access to the cellular network, generally one or more wireless gateways, cameras, sensors and other devices (collectively, “connected devices” or “Internet of Things (“IoT”) devices”), support services delivered over the term of the arrangement and warranty coverage. The Company’s Connected Operations Platform and the related connected device access points are highly interdependent and interrelated, and represent a combined performance obligation, which is recognized over the related subscription period. The Company’s subscription contracts typically have an initial term of three to five years and are generally non-cancelable and non-refundable, subject to limited exceptions under the standard terms of service and other exceptions for public sector customers, who are often subject to annual budget appropriations cycles. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

•Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer—A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods or services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance, and (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for goods or services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company’s contracts are typically evidenced through a signed Company quote or a customer purchase order and Company quote. At contract inception, the Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract and whether the combined or single contract includes more than one performance obligation.

•Identification of the performance obligations in the contract—Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the goods or services either on their own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised goods or services, the Company applies judgment to determine whether promised goods or services are capable of being distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised goods or services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. The Company has determined that its integrated solution represents a combined performance obligation as the cloud-based Applications and connected devices, individually, are not distinct within the context of customer contracts because they are highly interdependent and interrelated. In reaching this conclusion, the Company considered the context of the contract and the nature of its promise to provide the customer with actionable insights to manage their operations. Specifically, the Company’s connected devices, including the embedded proprietary firmware, are updated continuously by its Connected Operations Platform using artificial intelligence and machine learning models to improve the capture, aggregation, and enrichment of data by the connected devices. Additionally, the Company’s Connected Operations Platform then utilizes this data to deliver actionable insights that are promised to its customers throughout the term of their subscription to Applications on the Connected Operations Platform. As a result of the highly interdependent and interrelated nature of the integrated service provided, these arrangements are accounted for as a combined performance obligation to the customer. Additionally, the Company has certain accessories sold in connection with its integrated sensor solution, which have been determined to be separate performance obligations.

•Determination of the transaction price—The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. Such amounts are stated within the customer contracts.

•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 a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) basis. The Company determines SSP based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the SSP is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the SSP taking into consideration available information, such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

•Recognition of revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation—The Company satisfies substantially all of its performance obligations over time. Specifically, the combined cloud-based application and connected device performance obligation and related support services and warranty coverage represent stand-ready performance obligations provided throughout the term the customer has access to the platform. Revenue recognition commences ratably when control of the services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services over the contractual term.

Other revenue is generally recognized at a point in time and is earned through the sale of replacement gateways, sensors and cameras, as well as related shipping and handling fees, credit card processing fees, and professional services.

For revenue generated from contracts that involve third parties, the Company evaluates whether it is the principal, and reports revenue on a gross basis, or the agent, and reports revenue on a net basis. In this assessment, the Company considers if it obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer, as well as other indicators such as the party primarily responsible for fulfillment, inventory risk, and discretion in establishing price.

Deferred Revenue—Deferred revenue represents amounts billed to customers or payments received from customers for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Deferred revenue primarily consists of prepayments made by customers for future periods and, to a lesser extent, the unearned portion of monthly-billed subscription fees. A portion of customer contracts is paid in advance for the full, multi-year term. Additionally, the Company enables its customers to prepay all, or part, of their contractual obligations monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. As a result, the deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of all multi-year, non-cancelable subscription agreements. The current portion of deferred revenue represents the amount that is expected to be recognized within one year of the consolidated balance sheet date.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of Revenue—Cost of revenue consists primarily of the amortization of IoT device costs associated with subscription agreements, third-party cloud and cellular infrastructure costs, customer support costs, warranty costs, and employee-related costs directly associated with our customer support and operations, including salaries, employee benefits and stock-based compensation, amortization of internal-use software development and certain cloud computing implementation costs, expenses related to shipping and handling, packaging, fulfillment, warehousing, write-downs of excess and obsolete inventory, and costs associated with software subscriptions, office facilities, IT-related expenses, and depreciation and amortization of property and equipment.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

Deferred Commissions—The Company capitalizes commissions paid to sales employees and the related payroll taxes, as well as commissions paid to referral partners, when customer contracts are executed. These costs are recorded as deferred commissions on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company determines whether costs should be deferred based on its sales compensation plans and if the commissions are incremental and would not have been incurred absent the execution of the customer contract. The Company amortizes sales commissions paid on the initial contract over an expected period of benefit, which the Company has determined to be five years. The Company has determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration the terms of its customer contracts, duration of its customer relationships, and the life of its technology. Commissions paid upon the renewal of a contract are amortized as expense ratably over the renewal term. Amortization of these costs is included in sales and marketing expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Connected Devices—For typical sales arrangements, the Company capitalizes the cost of connected devices sold to customers upon shipment and the capitalized cost is recorded as connected device costs, which the Company also refers to as IoT device costs, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company capitalizes connected device costs associated with subscription contracts as contract fulfillment costs where the connected device is not distinct from other undelivered obligations in the customer contract. These costs are directly related to customer contracts, are expected to be recoverable, and enhance the resources used to satisfy the undelivered performance obligations in those contracts.

Connected device costs are amortized over a period of benefit of five years. The Company determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration the expected life of the connected device, the connected device’s warranty period, past experience with customers, the duration of the Company’s relationships with its customers, and other available information. Amortization of these costs is included in cost of revenue on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Research and Development

Research and Development—Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee-related costs, including salaries, employee benefits and stock-based compensation, depreciation and other expenses related to prototyping IoT devices, product initiatives, software subscriptions, hosting and cellular-related costs used in research and development, and costs associated with office facilities, IT-related expenses, and depreciation and amortization of property and equipment. The Company continues to focus its research and development efforts on adding new features and products and enhancing the utility of its Connected Operations Platform. The Company capitalizes the portion of its internal-use software development costs that meets the criteria for capitalization.

Internal-Use Software Development and Cloud Computing Arrangement Implementation Costs

Internal-Use Software Development and Cloud Computing Arrangement Implementation Costs—The Company capitalizes qualifying internal-use software development costs related to its Connected Operations Platform. The costs consist of personnel costs (including related benefits and stock-based compensation) that are incurred during the software development stage. Capitalization of costs begins when three criteria are met: (1) the preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, (2) management has authorized and committed project funding, and (3) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended.

Capitalization ceases when the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, including the completion of all substantial testing. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation operating activities are expensed as incurred.

Capitalized costs are included in property and equipment, net, on the consolidated balance sheets. These costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software, which is two years, on a straight-line basis, which represents the manner in which the expected benefit will be derived. The amortization of costs related to the software is primarily included in cost of revenue on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company also enters into certain cloud-based software hosting arrangements that are accounted for as service contracts. For internal-use software obtained through a hosting arrangement that is in the nature of a service contract, the Company incurs certain implementation costs such as integration, configuration, and software customization, which are consistent with costs incurred during the application development stage for internal-use software. The Company applies the same guidance to determine costs that are eligible for capitalization.

Capitalized costs related to the implementation of cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts are included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Other assets, non-current” on the consolidated balance sheets. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the fixed, non-cancelable term of the associated hosting arrangement plus any reasonably certain renewal periods and are included in the same line item on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as the associated hosting arrangement fees.

Advertising and Promotional Costs

Advertising and Promotional Costs—Advertising and promotional costs, which are expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expense

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment at the asset group level, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets or an asset group by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through their undiscounted expected future cash flow. If the future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of these assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation—The Company measures compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on the estimated fair values on the date of grant. The Company’s stock-based awards include stock options, RSUs, and shares issued or to be issued under the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2021 ESPP”). RSUs granted by the Company prior to its IPO in December 2021 had service and performance vesting conditions while stock options, as well as RSUs granted subsequent to its IPO, only have a service vesting condition. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

The fair value of employee stock options and shares to be issued under the 2021 ESPP has been determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using various inputs, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, estimates of expected volatility, expected term, risk-free rate, and future dividends. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of four years for stock options and approximately the one-year duration of each offering period for shares to be issued under the 2021 ESPP.

The fair value of RSUs granted after the IPO is based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of RSUs granted prior to the IPO was determined at the grant date by the Company’s Board of Directors. For RSUs granted prior to the Company’s IPO, which generally has a four-year service condition, expense was recognized when the performance vesting condition was satisfied upon the effective date of the Company’s IPO. At that date, cumulative stock-based compensation expense using the graded vesting method for those RSUs for which the service condition had been satisfied prior to the performance vesting condition was recognized and the remaining expense will be thereafter recognized over the remaining vesting period of the award under a graded vesting method. For RSUs granted subsequent to its IPO, the Company recognizes the expense on a straight-line basis, over the requisite service period. The service condition for these awards is generally a vesting period over four years for RSUs granted through fiscal year 2023 and either three or four years for RSUs granted after fiscal year 2023.

The contractual term of the Company’s stock options and RSUs granted prior to its IPO is 10 years and seven years, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes—The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized.

The Company uses a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. A tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority.

Translation of Foreign Currencies

Translation of Foreign Currencies—The Company predominantly uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities and transactions denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency are remeasured into its functional currency using current exchange rates, whereas nonmonetary assets and liabilities are remeasured using historical exchange rates. The Company recognizes gains and losses from such remeasurements within “Interest income and other income, net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period of occurrence.

For non-U.S. subsidiaries using local currency as the functional currency, the Company records the translation of their assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date as translation adjustments and includes them as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” on the consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in “Interest income and other income, net” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and have not been material for all periods presented.

Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders—Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. Prior to the automatic conversion of all series of its convertible preferred stock outstanding into Class B common stock upon the completion of the IPO, the Company considered all series of its convertible preferred stock to be participating securities. Under the two-class method, the net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the convertible preferred stock as the holders of its convertible preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company’s losses.

Net loss is attributed to common stockholders and participating securities based on their participation rights. Basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders 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, RSUs, shares issued under an employee stock purchase plan, and convertible preferred stock 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, Class B, and Class C common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion rights. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class of common stock. As a result, the basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders are the same for all classes of Samsara’s common stock, on both an individual and combined basis, and therefore are presented together.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements—Fair value accounting is applied for all assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on the reporting date on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company follows the established framework for measuring fair value in accordance with US GAAP.

The Company reports financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. The authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of Credit Risk—Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, investments in marketable debt securities, and trade accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held on deposit with creditworthy domestic institutions. The Company invests its excess cash in low-risk, highly liquid money market funds. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts. The Company also maintains its investments in marketable debt securities with high-quality financial institutions with investment-grade ratings.

The Company generally does not require collateral or other security in support of accounts receivable. Allowances are provided for individual accounts receivable when the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, such as in the case of bankruptcy, deterioration in the customer’s operating results, or a change in financial position. If circumstances related to a customer change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted. The Company also considers broader factors in evaluating the sufficiency of its allowances for credit losses, including the length of times receivables are past due, significant one-time events, and historical experience.

Employee Benefit Plan

Employee Benefit Plan—The Company sponsors a qualified 401(k) defined contribution plan covering eligible employees. Eligible participants may contribute a portion of their annual compensation limited to a maximum annual amount set by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company provides dollar-for-dollar matching contributions of each participant’s contributions up to a maximum of 4% of the participant’s eligible compensation under this plan, and participants vest immediately in all contributions.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies—Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement—In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This standard requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. The ASU does not change the current guidance related to the identification of operating segments, the determination of reportable segments, or the aggregation criteria. Rather, the new guidance introduces additional disclosure requirements and expands those requirements to entities with a single reportable segment, not just entities with multiple reportable segments. This guidance was effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, and subsequent interim periods. The Company adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 and resulted in expanded financial statement disclosures of its segment expenses. See Note 13, “Segment Information,” for further information.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This standard requires further transparency to income tax disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance is effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2026 and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company adopted this guidance on February 2, 2025 and will apply it on a prospective basis, which will result in additional disaggregation of certain tax information within the Company’s income tax footnote disclosure.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted—In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This standard requires disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization. As clarified on the subsequent amendment, ASU No. 2025-01, issued by the FASB in January 2025, this guidance is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending January 29, 2028, and subsequent interim periods. Early adoption is permitted and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of its adoption of this ASU and the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company has reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded they were either not applicable or not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
