Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation and Fiscal Year
Basis of Presentation and Fiscal Year—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on March 25, 2025.
In management’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of November 1, 2025 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024, and cash flows for the nine months ended November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 1, 2025 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future interim or annual period.
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 year 2030 is the Company’s next 53-week fiscal year, with the fourth quarter consisting of 14 weeks. Fiscal year 2026 consists of 52 weeks and fiscal year 2025 consisted of 52 weeks.
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation—The condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such management estimates include, but are not limited to, the period of benefit for connected device costs and deferred commissions, collectability of receivables, inventory valuation, capitalization and useful lives of internal-use software costs, timing and amount of legal contingencies, and accounting for income taxes. Actual results could materially differ from the estimates and assumptions made.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement—In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This standard requires further transparency to annual income tax disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026 and will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company adopted this guidance on February 2, 2025, which will result in additional annual disaggregation of certain tax information within the 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 impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This standard provides a practical expedient for calculating current expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets by assuming that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change for the remaining life of the asset. This guidance is effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning February 1, 2026, and interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted and must be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software. ASU 2025-06 removes all references to software development stages and requires capitalization of software costs when management has committed to the software project and it is probable the software will be completed and perform its intended use. This guidance is effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning January 30, 2028, and interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. This standard enhances consistency in interim reporting for all entities by clarifying interim disclosure requirements and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with GAAP. This guidance is effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning January 30, 2028, and interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted and must be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Concentrations of Credit Risk—The Company maintains its investments in marketable debt securities with high-quality financial institutions with investment-grade ratings.
Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
The Company reports financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, using 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.
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.
Other revenue is generally recognized at a point in time and is earned through the sale of replacement IoT devices, shipping and handling fees, and professional services.
Net Loss Per Share, Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share, Basic and Diluted
For purposes of calculating net income (loss) per share, the Company continues to use the two-class method. As Class A, Class B, and Class C common stock have identical liquidation and dividend rights, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class of common stock. As a result, the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are the same for all classes of Samsara’s common stock, on both an individual and combined basis, and therefore are presented together.
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for the effects of dilutive shares of common stock, which consist of outstanding stock options, RSUs, and ESPP obligations. The potentially dilutive shares of common stock are computed using the treasury stock method. The effects of outstanding stock options, RSUs, and ESPP obligations are excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive.
