Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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 May 3, 2025 and the results of operations for the three months ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024, and cash flows for the three months ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 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 months ended May 3, 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—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—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 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.
Significant Accounting Policies—There were no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended May 3, 2025.
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 Company’s income tax footnote disclosure.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet AdoptedIn 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.
