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 January 31, 2026, which was filed with the SEC on March 16, 2026.
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 normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement, except as disclosed herein, of the Company’s financial position as of May 2, 2026 and the results of operations for the three months ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, and cash flows for the three months ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2026 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 2, 2026 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 2027 consists of 52 weeks and fiscal year 2026 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.
Certain prior period balance sheet amounts have been combined into other line items to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders’ equity.
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.
Significant Accounting Policies—There were no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended May 2, 2026.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement—In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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. The Company adopted the ASU 2025-05, effective February 1, 2026, on a prospective basis and elected the practical expedient. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
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 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. 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.
