NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of the Business
SecureWorks Corp. is a leading global cybersecurity provider of technology-driven solutions singularly focused on protecting the Company’s customers. Except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, all references in this report to “Secureworks,” “we,” “us,” “our” and “Company” refer to SecureWorks Corp. and our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. References to “Dell” refer to Dell Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
The Company has one primary business activity, which is to provide customers with technology-driven cybersecurity solutions. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker, who is the Chief Executive Officer, makes operating decisions, assesses performance and allocates resources on a consolidated basis. There are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations and operating results below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, Secureworks operates its business as a single reportable segment.
On April 27, 2016, the Company completed its initial public offering, or IPO. Upon the closing of the IPO, Dell Technologies Inc., or Dell Technologies, owned, indirectly through Dell and its subsidiaries, all shares of the Company’s outstanding Class B common stock, which as of May 5, 2023 represented approximately 81.4% of the Company's total outstanding shares of common stock and approximately 97.8% of the combined voting power of both classes of the Company's outstanding common stock.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimations that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements and notes. The inputs into certain of the Company’s assumptions and estimations considered the economic implications of the Ukraine/Russia conflict and inflation concerns on the Company’s critical and significant accounting estimates. The condensed consolidated financial statements include assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
For the periods presented, Dell has provided various corporate services to the Company in the ordinary course of business, including finance, tax, human resources, legal, insurance, IT, procurement and facilities-related services. The cost of these services is charged in accordance with a shared services agreement that went into effect on August 1, 2015. For more information regarding the related party transactions, see “Note 10—Related Party Transactions.”
During the periods presented in the financial statements, Secureworks did not file separate federal tax returns, as the Company is generally included in the tax grouping of other Dell entities within the respective entity’s tax jurisdiction. The income tax benefit has been calculated using the separate return method, modified to apply the benefits-for-loss approach. Under this approach, net operating losses or other tax attributes are characterized as realized or as realizable by Secureworks when those attributes are utilized or expected to be utilized by other members of the Dell consolidated group. See “Note 9—Income and Other Taxes” for more information.
Fiscal Year
The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Friday closest to January 31. The Company refers to the fiscal year ending February 2, 2024 and the fiscal year ended February 3, 2023 as fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively. Fiscal 2024 consists of 52 weeks and fiscal 2023 consisted of 53 weeks. In fiscal 2024, each quarter has 13 weeks. In fiscal 2023, each quarter consisted of 13 weeks except for the fourth quarter, which consisted of 14 weeks. Unless otherwise indicated, all changes identified for the current-period results represent comparisons to results for the prior corresponding fiscal periods.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, estimates are used when accounting for revenue arrangements, determining the cost of revenue, allocating cost and estimating the impact of contingencies. In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, estimates are used in determining the valuation and recoverability of assets, such as accounts receivables, inventories, fixed assets, capitalized software, goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets. Estimates are also used in determining the reported amounts of liabilities, such as taxes payable and the impact of contingencies. All estimates also impact the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Actual results could differ from these estimates due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the Ukraine/Russia conflict and impacts of inflation. The Company considered the potential impact of the current economic and geopolitical uncertainty on its estimates and assumptions and determined there was not a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended May 5, 2023. As current economic environment continues to develop, many of the Company’s estimates could require increased judgment and be subject to a higher degree of variability and volatility. As a result, the Company’s estimates may change materially in future periods.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
None.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the three months ended May 5, 2023, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2023.
NOTE 2 — LOSS PER SHARE
Loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss for the periods presented by the respective weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, and excludes any dilutive effects of share-based awards that may be anti-dilutive. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares, including common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and unvested restricted common stock and restricted stock units. The Company applies the two-class method to calculate earnings per share. Because the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock share the same rights in dividends and earnings, earnings per share (basic and diluted) are the same for both classes of common stock. Since losses were incurred in all periods presented, all potential common shares were determined to be anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of loss per common share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

NOTE 3 — CONTRACT BALANCES AND CONTRACT COSTS
The Company derives revenue primarily from subscription revenue and professional services. Subscription revenue is derived from (i) Taegis software-as-a-service, or SaaS, security platform and supplemental Managed Detection and Response, or MDR, services, and (ii) Managed Security Services. Taegis’ core offerings are the security platform, Taegis Extended Detection and Response, or XDR, and the MDR service, ManagedXDR. Managed Security Services are subscription-based arrangements that typically include a suite of security services utilizing the legacy platform. Professional services typically include incident response, adversarial testing services and other security consulting arrangements.
The following table presents revenue by service type (in thousands):
Three Months Ended

Net revenue:
Taegis Subscription Solutions$62,596 $37,216 
Managed Security Services14,663 57,197 
Total Subscription revenue$77,259 $94,413 
Professional Services17,136 26,602 
Total net revenue$94,395 $121,015 
Promises to provide the Company’s subscription-based solutions related to SaaS applications are accounted for as separate performance obligations and managed security services are accounted for as a single performance obligation. Our subscription-based solutions have an average contract term of approximately two years as of May 5, 2023. Performance obligations related to the Company’s professional services contracts are separate obligations associated with each service. Although the Company has multi-year customer relationships for various professional service solutions, the arrangement is typically structured as a separate performance obligation over the contract period and recognized over a duration of less than one year.
The deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, non-cancelable subscription agreements. The Company invoices its customers based on a variety of billing schedules. During the three months ended May 5, 2023, on average, approximately 65% of the Company’s recurring revenue was billed annually in advance and approximately 35% was billed on either a monthly or quarterly basis in advance. In addition, many of the Company’s professional services engagements are billed in advance of service commencement. The deferred revenue balance is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the compounding effects of renewals, invoice duration and invoice timing.
Changes to the Company’s deferred revenue during the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022 are as follows (in thousands):

Remaining Performance Obligation
The remaining performance obligation represents the transaction price allocated to contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and non-cancellable contracts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. The remaining performance obligation consists of two elements: (i) the value of remaining services to be provided through the contract term for customers whose services have been activated, or active; and (ii) the value of subscription-based solutions contracted with customers that have not yet been installed, or backlog. Backlog is not recorded in revenue, deferred revenue or elsewhere in the consolidated financial statements until the Company establishes a contractual right to invoice, at which point backlog is recorded as revenue or deferred revenue, as appropriate. The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC paragraph 606-10-50-14(a) and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.
The Company expects that the amount of backlog relative to the total value of its contracts will change from year to year due to several factors, including the amount invoiced at the beginning of the contract term, the timing and duration of the Company’s customer agreements, varying invoicing cycles of agreements and changes in customer financial circumstances. Accordingly, fluctuations in backlog are not always a reliable indicator of future revenues.
As of May 5, 2023, the Company expects to recognize remaining performance obligations as follows (in thousands):
TotalExpected to be recognized in the next 12 monthsExpected to be recognized in 12-24 monthsExpected to be recognized in 24-36 monthsExpected to be recognized thereafter
Performance obligation - active$244,438 $135,072 $84,458 $24,098 $810

Total$247,317 $136,224 $85,388 $24,876 $829 
Deferred Commissions and Fulfillment Costs
The Company capitalizes a significant portion of its commission expense and related fringe benefits earned by its sales personnel. Additionally, the Company capitalizes certain costs to install and activate hardware and software used in its managed security services, primarily related to a portion of the compensation for the personnel who perform the installation activities. These deferred costs are amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the assets relate.
Changes in the balance of total deferred commission and total deferred fulfillment costs during the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022 are as follows (in thousands):
As of February 3, 2023
Amount capitalizedAmount recognized

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, Secureworks announced the end-of-sale for a number of managed security service offerings effective the first day of fiscal 2023. The Company evaluated these deferred costs as part of a broader asset group for impairment and potential changes to their estimated lives. The Company did not record any impairment losses on the deferred commissions or deferred fulfillment costs and did not identify any material changes to the expense recognition pattern during the three months ended May 5, 2023 or April 29, 2022.

NOTE 4 — GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill relates to the acquisition of Dell by Dell Technologies and represents the excess of the purchase price attributable to Secureworks over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as subsequent business combinations completed by the Company. Goodwill decreased $0.1 million due to foreign currency translation for the three months ended May 5, 2023, compared to February 3, 2023. Goodwill totaled $425.4 million and $425.5 million as of May 5, 2023 and February 3, 2023, respectively.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis during the third fiscal quarter of each fiscal year, or earlier if an indicator of impairment occurs. The Company completed the most recent annual impairment test in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 by assessing goodwill at the reporting unit level, as well as the Company’s indefinite-lived trade name asset at the individual asset level. The Company has one reporting unit.
For the annual impairment review in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company elected to bypass the assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. In electing to bypass the qualitative assessment, the Company proceeded directly to performing a quantitative analysis to determine the fair value of its reporting unit relative to its carrying amount, as well as its indefinite-lived trade name asset at the individual asset level, to determine the amount of impairment loss to be recognized, if any.
The fair value of the reporting unit is generally estimated using a combination of public company multiples and discounted cash flow methodologies. The discounted cash flow and public company multiples methodologies require significant judgment, including estimation of future revenues, gross margins and operating expenses, which are dependent on internal forecasts, current and anticipated economic conditions and trends, selection of market multiples through assessment of the reporting unit’s performance relative to peer competitors, the estimation of the long-term revenue growth rate and discount rate of the Company’s business, and the determination of the Company’s weighted-average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the fair value of the reporting unit, potentially resulting in a non-cash impairment charge.
The fair value of the indefinite-lived trade names is generally estimated using the discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow methodology requires significant judgment, including estimation of future revenue, estimation of the long-term revenue growth rate of the Company’s business and determination of the Company’s weighted-average cost of capital and royalty rates. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, potentially resulting in a non-cash impairment charge.
Based on the results of the annual impairment test, the Company determined that the derived fair values of the reporting unit and indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeded their respective carrying values, which indicated no impairment as of the annual impairment date. Further, no triggering events have transpired since the performance of the quantitative assessment that would indicate a potential impairment occurred during the period through May 5, 2023.
Intangible Assets
The Company’s intangible assets as of May 5, 2023 and February 3, 2023 were as follows:

Amortization expense is included within cost of revenue and general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no impairment charges related to intangible assets during the three months ended May 5, 2023 or April 29, 2022.

NOTE 5 — DEBT
Revolving Credit Facility
SecureWorks, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SecureWorks Corp., is a party to a revolving credit agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell under which the Company obtained a $30 million senior, unsecured revolving credit facility. Effective March 23, 2023, the revolving credit agreement was amended and restated to extend the maturity date from March 23, 2023 to March 24, 2024 and to modify the annual rate at which interest accrues to the applicable Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, plus 1.15%. The amended and restated revolving credit agreement otherwise has terms substantially similar to those of the facility before the amendment and restatement.
Under the facility, up to $30 million principal amount of borrowings may be outstanding at any time. Amounts under the facility may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time during the term of the facility. The proceeds from loans made under the facility may be used for general corporate purposes. The credit agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default. The unused portion of the facility is subject to a commitment fee of 0.35%, which is due upon expiration of the facility. There was no outstanding balance under the credit facility as of May 5, 2023 or February 3, 2023, and there were no amounts borrowed under the credit facility during the three months ended May 5, 2023.
The maximum amount of borrowings may be increased by up to an additional $30 million by mutual agreement of the lender and borrower. The borrower will be required to repay, in full, all of the loans outstanding, including all accrued interest, and the facility will terminate upon a change of control of SecureWorks Corp. or following a transaction in which SecureWorks, Inc. ceases to be a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SecureWorks Corp. The facility is not guaranteed by SecureWorks Corp. or its subsidiaries.

NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Contingencies— From time to time, the Company is involved in claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. The Company reviews the status of such matters at least quarterly and adjusts its liabilities as necessary to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other relevant information. Whether the outcome of any claim, suit, assessment, investigation or legal proceeding, individually or collectively, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will depend on a number of factors, including the nature, timing and amount of any associated expenses, amounts paid in settlement, damages or other remedies or consequences. To the extent new information is obtained and the Company’s views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations or legal proceedings change, changes in accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such a determination is made. As of May 5, 2023, the Company does not believe that there were any such matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Customer-based Taxation Contingencies—Various government entities, or taxing authorities, require the Company to bill its customers for the taxes they owe based on the services they purchase from the Company. The application of the rules of each taxing authority concerning which services are subject to each tax and how those services should be taxed involves the application of judgment. Taxing authorities periodically perform audits to verify compliance and include all periods that remain open under applicable statutes, which generally range from three to four years. These audits could result in significant assessments of past taxes, fines and interest if the Company were found to be non-compliant. During the course of an audit, a taxing authority may question the Company’s application of its rules in a manner that, if the Company were not successful in substantiating its position, could result in a significant financial impact to the Company. In the course of preparing its financial statements and disclosures, the Company considers whether information exists that would warrant disclosure or an accrual with respect to such a contingency.
As of May 5, 2023, the Company is under audit with various state taxing authorities in which rulings related to the taxability of certain of its services are pending. As of May 5, 2023, the Company has recorded an estimated liability of $8.4 million related to such matters. The Company will continue to appeal these rulings, but should the Company not prevail, it could be subject to obligations to pay additional taxes together with associated penalties and interest for the audited tax period, as well as additional taxes for periods subsequent to the tax audit period, including penalties and interest. While Dell does provide an indemnification for certain state tax issues for tax periods prior to August 1, 2015, such indemnification would not cover a material portion of the current estimated liability.
Indemnifications—In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which it agrees to indemnify its customers from certain losses incurred by the customer as to third-party claims relating to the services performed on behalf of the Company or for certain losses incurred by the customer as to third-party claims arising from certain events as defined within the particular contract. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments related to these indemnifications have been immaterial.
Concentrations—The Company sells solutions to customers of all sizes primarily through its sales organization, supplemented by sales through partners. During the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022, the Company had no customer that represented 10% or more of its net revenue.

The SecureWorks Corp. 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan, or the 2016 Plan, provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, unrestricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, other equity-based awards, and cash bonus awards. Awards may be granted under the 2016 Plan to individuals who are employees, officers, or non-employee directors of the Company or any of its affiliates, consultants and advisors who perform services for the Company or any of its affiliates, and any other individual whose participation in the 2016 Plan is determined to be in the best interests of the Company by the compensation committee of the board of directors.
Under the 2016 Plan, during the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022, the Company granted 7,142,257 and 3,650,524 restricted stock units, respectively. The annual restricted stock units granted during these periods vest over a three-year period. Approximately 19% of such awards granted during each of the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022 are subject to performance conditions. The majority of the 7,142,257 restricted stock unit awards made during the three months ended May 5, 2023 are subject to the approval at the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders of an amendment to the 2016 Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable under the plan and thus are not deemed granted or outstanding for accounting purposes.
The Company grants long-term cash awards to certain employees under the 2016 Plan. A portion of the cash awards issued prior to fiscal 2021 were subject to various performance conditions and vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period. The cash awards issued during the three months ended May 5, 2023 and fiscal years ended February 3, 2023 and January 28, 2022 are not subject to any performance conditions and vest in equal installments over a three-year period. The Company granted $0.1 million and no cash awards during the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022, respectively. The Company recognized $0.7 million and $1.4 million of related compensation expense for the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022, respectively.

NOTE 9 — INCOME AND OTHER TAXES
The Company’s loss before income taxes and income tax benefit (in thousands) and effective income tax rate for the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022 was as follows (in thousands, except percentages):    
Three Months Ended

2023		April 29,
2022
Loss before income taxes$(38,098)$(27,053)
Income tax benefit$(7,128)$(5,455)
Effective tax rate18.7 %20.2 %
During the periods presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, the Company did not file separate federal tax returns as the Company generally was included in the tax grouping of other Dell entities within the respective entity’s tax jurisdiction. The income tax benefit has been calculated using the separate return method, modified to apply the benefits-for-loss approach. Under the benefits-for-loss approach, net operating losses or other tax attributes are characterized as realized by the Company when those attributes are utilized by other members of the Dell consolidated group.
Effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the option to deduct research and development, or R&D, expenses in the year incurred and instead requires taxpayers to capitalize R&D expenses, including software development cost, and subsequently amortize such expenses over five years for R&D activities conducted in the United States and over fifteen years for R&D activities conducted outside of the United States.
The Company’s effective tax benefit rate was 18.7% and 20.2% for the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022, respectively. The change in the Company’s effective income tax rate between the periods was primarily attributable to the impact of certain discrete adjustments related to stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1.4 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022, respectively. The change related specifically to the impact of the vesting of certain equity awards for which the fair value on the vesting date was lower than the fair value on the date the equity awards were originally granted. The change in fair value, which is measured by the price of the Class A common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, resulted in a lower actual tax deduction for the three-month periods ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022 than the amounts deducted for financial reporting purposes.
As of both May 5, 2023 and February 3, 2023, the Company had $5.8 million of deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards for state tax returns that are not included with those of other Dell entities. These net operating loss carryforwards began expiring in the fiscal year ended February 3, 2023. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of these net operating loss carryforwards, the Company has provided valuation allowances for the full amount as of May 5, 2023 and February 3, 2023.
Because the Company is included in the tax filings of other Dell entities, management has determined that it will be able to realize the remainder of its deferred tax assets. If the Company becomes ineligible for inclusion in the Dell Technologies consolidated tax group, its ability to benefit from its losses and other tax attributes may be impaired as it would need to file its own Federal and State tax returns without the ability to offset its losses against the profits from the parent. The Company may be required to record a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets that are currently recorded based on the tax sharing agreement with Dell. Currently, net deferred tax assets are approximately $5.9 million. If the Company’s tax provision had been prepared using the separate return method, the unaudited pro forma pre-tax loss, tax benefit and net loss for the three months ended May 5, 2023 would have been $38.1 million, $1.0 million and $37.1 million, respectively, as a result of the recognition of a valuation allowance that would have been recorded on a significant amount of deferred tax assets as well as certain attributes from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that would be lost if not utilized by the Dell consolidated group.
Net deferred tax balances are included in other non-current assets and other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
As of May 5, 2023 and February 3, 2023, the Company had a net operating loss receivable from Dell of $9.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The Company had $4.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of both May 5, 2023 and February 3, 2023.

NOTE 10 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Allocated Expenses
For the periods presented, Dell has provided various corporate services to Secureworks in the ordinary course of business. The costs of services provided to Secureworks by Dell are governed by a shared services agreement between Secureworks and Dell Inc. The total amounts of the charges under the shared services agreement with Dell were $0.8 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022, respectively. Management believes that the basis on which the expenses have been allocated is a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by the Company during the periods presented.
Related Party Arrangements
For the periods presented, related party transactions and activities involving Dell Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries were not always consummated on terms equivalent to those that would prevail in an arm’s-length transaction where conditions of competitive, free-market dealing may exist.
The Company purchases computer equipment for internal use from Dell Inc. and its subsidiaries that is capitalized within property and equipment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Purchases of computer equipment from Dell and EMC Corporation, or EMC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Technologies that provides enterprise software and storage, totaled $0.2 million for each of the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022.
EMC previously maintained a majority ownership interest in VMware, Inc., or VMware, a company that provides cloud and virtualization software and services. The Company’s purchases of annual maintenance services, software licenses and hardware systems for internal use from Dell, EMC and VMware totaled $0.3 million for each of the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022. On November 1, 2021, Dell Technologies completed its spin-off of all shares of common stock of VMware that were beneficially owned by Dell Technologies and its subsidiaries, including EMC, to Dell Technologies’ stockholders. As a result of the spin-off transaction, the businesses of VMware were separated from the remaining businesses of Dell Technologies, although Michael S. Dell, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and majority stockholder of Dell Technologies, continues to serve as Chairman of the Board of VMware.
The Company recognized revenue related to solutions provided to VMware that totaled $0.1 million for each of the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022. In October 2019, VMware acquired Carbon Black Inc., or Carbon Black, a security business with which the Company had an existing commercial relationship. Purchases by the Company of solutions from Carbon Black totaled $1.4 million for each of the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022.
The Company also recognized revenue related to solutions provided to significant beneficial owners of Secureworks common stock, which include Mr. Dell and affiliates of Mr. Dell. The revenues recognized by the Company from solutions provided to Mr. Dell, MSD Capital, L.P. (a firm founded for the purposes of managing investments of Mr. Dell and his family), DFI Resources LLC, an entity affiliated with Mr. Dell, and the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation totaled $67 thousand for each of the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022.
The Company provides solutions to certain customers whose contractual relationships have historically been with Dell rather than Secureworks, although the Company has the primary responsibility to provide the services. Effective August 1, 2015, in connection with the IPO, many of such customer contracts were transferred from Dell to the Company, forming a direct contractual relationship between the Company and the end customer. For customers whose contracts have not yet been transferred or whose contracts were subsequently originated through Dell under a reseller agreement, the Company recognized revenues of approximately $15.0 million and $16.2 million for the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022, respectively. In addition, as of May 5, 2023, the Company had approximately $2.9 million of contingent obligations to Dell related to outstanding performance bonds for certain customer contracts which Dell issued on behalf of the Company. These contingent obligations are not recognized as liabilities on the Company’s financial statements.
As the Company’s customer and on behalf of certain of its own customers, Dell also purchases solutions from the Company. The Company recognized revenues from such purchases of approximately $0.1 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022, respectively.
As a result of the foregoing related party arrangements, the Company has recorded the following related party balances in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of May 5, 2023 and February 3, 2023 (in thousands).

NOTE 12 — REORGANIZATION AND OTHER RELATED COSTS
During the fiscal year ended February 3, 2023, the Company committed to a plan to align its investments more closely with its strategic priorities to meet the expected future needs of the business by reducing the Company’s workforce and implementing certain real estate‑related and other cost optimization actions. Under this plan, the Company intends to rebalance investments across all functions to align with the Company’s top strategic priorities and growth opportunities, such as higher value, higher margin Taegis solutions and other priorities, in order to balance continued growth with improving operating margins over time. For the fiscal year ended February 3, 2023, the Company incurred expenses of approximately $15.5 million under the plan, consisting primarily of severance and other termination benefits, real estate-related expenses, and various other cost saving measures. As of February 3, 2023, the Company had a liability of $8.9 million relating to these charges. During the three months ended May 5, 2023, the Company settled $7.4 million of these charges in cash, reducing the remaining liability to $1.5 million as of May 5, 2023.

Overview
We are a leading global cybersecurity provider of technology-driven solutions singularly focused on protecting our customers.
Our vision is to be the essential cybersecurity company for a digitally connected world. We are the security platform of choice to deliver our holistic approach to security at scale for our customers to achieve their best security outcomes. We combine considerable experience from securing thousands of customers, processing billions of customer events leveraging artificial intelligence and machine-learning in our security platform, and actionable insights from our team of elite researchers, analysts and consultants to create a powerful network effect that provides increasingly strong protection for our customers.
Taegis leverages an open architecture that is designed to process a wide variety of telemetry to see security threats quickly and to leverage our customers’ existing investments. Our solutions collect and process vast amounts of data across the IT ecosystem by integrating a wide array of proprietary and third-party security products. This open-platform approach allows us to aggregate events from a wide range of endpoint, network, cloud and business systems to increase the effectiveness of our solutions.
By aggregating and analyzing data from sources around the world, we offer solutions that enable organizations to:
•prevent security breaches,
•detect malicious activity,
•respond rapidly when a security breach occurs, and
•identify emerging threats.
We believe a platform that supports innovation and collaboration enables the power of the security community to outmaneuver the adversary. Leveraging our extensive security expertise and threat intelligence, we utilize unique insights to extend our XDR platform to defend against cyber attacks.
The integrated approach we have pioneered enables us to deliver a broad portfolio of security solutions to organizations of varying size and complexity. We seek to provide the right level of security for each customer’s particular situation, which evolves as our customers’ organizations grow and change over time. Our flexible and scalable solutions secure the evolving needs of large enterprises as well as small and medium-sized businesses and U.S. state and local government agencies with limited in-house capabilities and resources.
We offer our customers:
•software-as-a-service, or SaaS, solutions,
•managed solutions, and
•professional services, including incident response and adversarial testing services.
21

Our solutions leverage the proprietary technologies, security operations workflows, extensive expertise and knowledge of the tactics, techniques and procedures of the adversary that we have developed over more than two decades. As key elements of our strategy, we seek to:
•be the cloud-native SaaS security platform of choice,
•broaden our reach with security service providers to deliver our security platform globally, and
•empower the global security community to beat the adversary at scale.
Our proprietary Taegis security platform was purpose-built as a cloud-native software platform that combines the power of machine-learning with security analytics and threat intelligence to unify detection and response across endpoint, network, cloud, email and other systems for better security outcomes and simpler security operations. The Taegis software platform is a core element of our SaaS solutions, which leverage workflows designed from our extensive security operations expertise and our integrated orchestration and automation capabilities to increase the speed of response actions.
We offer an integrated suite of technology-driven security solutions enabled by our Taegis software platform and team of highly-skilled security experts. Our technology-driven security solutions offer an innovative approach to prevent, detect and respond to cybersecurity breaches. The platform collects, aggregates, correlates and analyzes billions of events daily from our extensive customer base utilizing sophisticated algorithms to detect malicious activity and deliver security countermeasures, dynamic intelligence and valuable context regarding the intentions and actions of cyber adversaries. Through our Taegis solutions, which are sold on a subscription basis, we provide global visibility and insight into malicious activity, enabling our customers to detect, respond to and effectively remediate threats quickly.
In addition to our Taegis solutions, we offer a variety of professional services to advise customers on a broad range of security and risk-related matters, which include incident response, adversarial testing services and Taegis professional services, to accelerate adoption of our software solutions.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that our future success will depend on many factors, including the adoption of our Taegis solutions by organizations, continued investment in our technology and threat intelligence research, our introduction of new solutions, our ability to increase sales of our solutions to new and existing customers, and our ability to attract and retain top talent. Although these areas present significant opportunities, they also present risks that we must manage to ensure our future success. We operate in an intensely competitive industry and face, among other competitive challenges, pricing pressures within the information security market as a result of action by our larger competitors to reduce the prices of their security prevention, detection and response solutions, as well as the prices of their managed security services. We must continue to manage our investments in an efficient manner and effectively execute our strategy to succeed. If we are unable to address these challenges, our business could be adversely affected.
The key factors affecting our performance include the following:
Adoption of Technology-Driven Solution Strategy. The evolving landscape of applications, modes of communication and IT architectures makes it increasingly challenging for organizations of all sizes to protect their critical business assets, including proprietary information, from cyber threats. New technologies heighten security risks by increasing the number of ways a threat actor can attack a target, by giving users greater access to important business networks and information and by facilitating the transfer of control of underlying applications and infrastructure to third-party vendors. An effective strategy requires the coordinated deployment of a solution across the entire network infrastructure. Our Taegis offerings are designed to facilitate the successful implementation of such a strategy, but continuous investment in, and adaptation of, our technology will be required as the threat landscape continues to evolve rapidly. The degree to which prospective and current customers recognize the mission-critical nature of our technology-driven information security solutions, and subsequently allocate budget dollars to our solutions, will affect our future financial results.
Investment in Our Technology and Threat Intelligence Research. Our software platforms constitute the core of our technology-driven security solutions. They provide our customers with an integrated perspective and intelligence regarding their network environments and security threats. Our software platforms are augmented by our Counter Threat Unit research team, which conducts exclusive research into threat actors, uncovers new attack techniques, analyzes emerging threats and evaluates the risks posed to our customers. Our performance is significantly dependent on the investments we make in our research and development efforts and on our ability to be at the forefront of threat intelligence research and adapt these software platforms to new technologies as well as to changes in existing technologies. This is an area in which we will continue to invest, while leveraging a flexible staffing model to align with solutions development. We believe that investment in our Taegis software platform and solutions will contribute to long-term revenue growth, but the costs of our investment may continue to adversely affect our prospects for near-term profitability.
22

Introduction of New Security Solutions. Our performance is significantly dependent on our ability to continue to innovate and introduce new information security solutions, such as our Taegis solutions, that protect our customers from an expanding array of cybersecurity threats. We continue to invest in solutions innovation and leadership, including by hiring top technical talent and focusing on core technology innovation. In addition, we will continue to evaluate and utilize third-party proprietary technologies, where appropriate, for the continuous development of complementary offerings. We believe that our investment in solutions development will contribute to long-term revenue growth, but this investment may continue to adversely affect our prospects for near-term profitability.
Investments in Expanding Our Customer Base.
Embracing Our Partner Ecosystem. To support future sales, we will need to continue to devote resources to the development of strategic partnerships with our channel partners, technology alliance partners, and system integrators. We have made and plan to continue to make investments in both marketing and go-to-market efforts with our partners. These investments may not result in an increase in revenue or an improvement in our results of operations in the near term, although we do expect both will improve in the long term from these investments.
Deepening Our Customer Relationships. The continued growth of our business also depends in part on our ability to sell additional solutions to our existing customers. As our customers realize the benefits of the solutions they previously purchased, our portfolio of solutions provides us with a significant opportunity to expand these relationships.
Investment in Our People. The difficulty in providing effective information security is exacerbated by the highly competitive environment for identifying, hiring and retaining qualified information security professionals. Our technology leadership, brand, exclusive focus on information security, customer-first culture, and robust training and development program have enabled us to attract and retain highly talented professionals with a passion for building a career in the information security industry. These professionals are led by a highly experienced and tenured management team with extensive IT security expertise and a record of developing successful new technologies and solutions to help protect our customers. We will continue to invest in attracting and retaining top talent to support and enhance our information security offerings.
Key Operating Metrics
Commencing in fiscal 2021, we began transitioning our subscription customers to our Taegis solutions from our non-strategic, lower margin other managed security subscription services. This transition has resulted in a decline in both our total customer base and total annual recurring revenue. We believe the transition of our subscription business to our Taegis solutions is resulting in a higher value, higher margin business. As part of our ongoing transition, we informed our customers early in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 that many of our other managed security subscription services would no longer be available for purchase effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2023, as many of those services offer a natural transition to our Taegis platform. Renewals associated with many of our existing other managed security subscription services were not extended beyond the end of fiscal 2023.
The transition has resulted in the growth of our Taegis portfolio of technology-driven information security solutions offered to customers of all sizes and across all industries. We have achieved this organic growth by re-solutioning existing customers to our Taegis offerings, which generate more average revenue per customer, and through continued expansion in volume and breadth of the Taegis solutions we deploy. The transformation of our Taegis subscription-based model has required ongoing investment in our business, which has contributed to higher net losses. We believe these investments are critical to our long-term success, although they may continue to impact our prospects for near-term profitability.
Relevant key operating metrics are presented below as of the dates indicated and for the fiscal periods then ended.

Taegis Subscription Customer Base and Managed Security Subscription Customer Base. We define our Taegis subscription customer base and managed security subscription customer base as the number of customers who have a subscription agreement for that respective offering as of a particular date. Some customers may have subscription agreements for both security offerings to address their current security needs.
Total Subscription Customer Base. We define our total subscription customer base as the number of unique customers who have a subscription agreement for our Taegis solutions and/or managed security services as of a particular date. We believe that growing our existing customer base and our ability to grow our average subscription revenue per customer represent significant future revenue opportunities for us.
Total Customer Base. We define total customer base as the number of customers that subscribe to our Taegis solutions and managed security services and customers that buy professional and other services from us, as of a particular date.
Total Annual Recurring Revenue. We define total annual recurring revenue as of the measurement date. Changes to recurring revenue may result from the expansion of our offerings and sales of additional solutions to our existing customers, as well as the timing of customer renewals.
Total Average Subscription Revenue Per Customer. Total average subscription revenue per customer is primarily related to the persistence of cyber threats and the results of our sales and marketing efforts to increase the awareness of our solutions. Our customer composition of both enterprise and small and medium sized businesses provides us with an opportunity to expand our professional services revenue. As of May 5, 2023 and April 29, 2022, approximately 47% and 55%, respectively, of our professional services customers subscribed to our Taegis solutions or managed security services.
Net Revenue Retention Rate. Net revenue retention rate is an important measure of our success in retaining and growing revenue from our subscription-based customers. To calculate our revenue retention rate for any period, we compare the annual recurring revenue of our subscription-based customers at the beginning of the fiscal year, or base recurring revenue, to the same measure from that same cohort of customers at the end of the fiscal year, or retained recurring revenue. By dividing the retained recurring revenue by the base recurring revenue, we measure our success in retaining and growing installed revenue from the specific cohort of customers we served at the beginning of the period. Our calculation includes the positive revenue impacts of selling and installing additional solutions to this cohort of customers and the negative revenue impacts of customer or service attrition during the period. The calculation, however, does not include the positive impact on revenue from sales of solutions to any customers acquired during the period. Our net revenue retention rates may increase or decline from period to period as a result of various factors, including the timing of solutions installations and customer renewal rates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use supplemental measures of our performance, which are derived from our financial information, but which are not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, referred to as GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures presented in this management’s discussion and analysis include non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP Taegis Subscription Solutions cost of revenue, non-GAAP Managed Security Services cost of revenue, non-GAAP subscription cost of revenue, non-GAAP professional services cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP Taegis Subscription Solutions gross profit, non-GAAP Managed Security Services gross profit, non-GAAP subscription gross profit, non-GAAP professional services gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP Taegis Subscription Solutions gross margin, non-GAAP Managed Security Services gross margin, non-GAAP subscription gross margin, non-GAAP professional services gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share and adjusted EBITDA. We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to help evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our operating performance and enabling more meaningful period-to-period comparisons.
There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this management’s discussion and analysis. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
The non-GAAP financial measures we present, as defined by us, exclude the items described in the reconciliation below. As the excluded items can have a material impact on earnings, our management compensates for this limitation by relying primarily on GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures supplementally. The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance in isolation from or as a substitute for revenue, subscription revenue, professional services revenue, Taegis Subscription Solutions revenue, Managed Security Services revenue, gross profit, subscription gross profit, professional services gross profit, Taegis Subscription Solutions gross profit, Managed Security Services gross profit, subscription cost of revenue, professional services cost of revenue, Taegis Subscription Solutions cost of revenue, Managed Security Services cost of revenue, operating expense, research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, gross margin, subscription gross margin, professional services gross margin, Taegis Subscription Solutions gross margin, Managed Security Services gross margin, operating income (loss), net income (loss), or earnings (loss) per share in accordance with GAAP, and the non-GAAP financial measures should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The table below presents a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We encourage you to review the reconciliations in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. In future fiscal periods, we may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items. Accordingly, the exclusion of these items and other similar items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual.
The following is a summary of the items excluded from the most comparable GAAP financial measures to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures:
•Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets consists of amortization associated with external software development costs capitalized and acquired customer relationships and technology. In connection with the acquisition of Dell by Dell Technologies in fiscal 2014 and our acquisition of Delve Laboratories Inc. in fiscal 2021, our tangible and intangible assets and liabilities associated with customer relationships and technology were accounted for and recognized at fair value on the related transaction date.
•Stock-based Compensation Expense. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense relates to Secureworks’ equity plan. We exclude such expense when assessing the effectiveness of our operating performance since stock-based compensation does not necessarily correlate with the underlying operating performance of the business.
•Aggregate Adjustment for Income Taxes. The aggregate adjustment for income taxes is the estimated combined income tax effect for the adjustments mentioned above. The tax effects are determined based on the tax jurisdictions where the above items were incurred.

Our Relationship with Dell and Dell Technologies
On April 27, 2016, we completed our IPO. Upon the closing of our IPO, Dell Technologies owned, indirectly through Dell Inc. and Dell Inc.’s subsidiaries, all shares of our outstanding Class B common stock, which as of May 5, 2023 represented approximately 81.4% of our total outstanding shares of common stock and approximately 97.8% of the combined voting power of both classes of our outstanding common stock.
As a majority-owned subsidiary of Dell, we receive from Dell various corporate services in the ordinary course of business, including finance, tax, human resources, legal, insurance, IT, procurement and facilities related services. The costs of these services have been charged in accordance with a shared services agreement that went into effect on August 1, 2015, the effective date of our carve-out from Dell. For more information regarding the allocated costs and related party transactions, see “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 10—Related Party Transactions” in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
During the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements included in this report, Secureworks did not file separate federal tax returns, as Secureworks was generally included in the tax grouping of other Dell entities within the respective entity’s tax jurisdiction. The income tax benefit has been calculated using the separate return method, modified to apply the benefits-for-loss approach. Under the benefits-for-loss approach, net operating losses or other tax attributes are characterized as realized or as realizable by Secureworks when those attributes are utilized or expected to be utilized by other members of the Dell consolidated group. For more information, see “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements —Note 9—Income and Other Taxes” in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Additionally, we participate in various commercial arrangements with Dell, under which, for example, we provide information security solutions to third-party customers with which Dell has contracted to provide our solutions, procure hardware, software and services from Dell, and sell our solutions through Dell in the United States and some international jurisdictions. In connection with our IPO, effective August 1, 2015, we entered into agreements with Dell that govern these commercial arrangements. These agreements generally were initially effective for up to one to three years and include extension and cancellation options. To the extent that we choose to, or are required to, transition away from the corporate services currently provided by Dell, we may incur additional non-recurring transition costs to establish our own stand-alone corporate functions. For more information regarding the allocated costs and related party transactions, see “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 10—Related Party Transactions” in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We generate revenue from the sales of our subscriptions and professional services.
•Subscription Revenue. Subscription revenue primarily consists of subscription fees derived from our Taegis Subscription Solutions and Managed Security Services. Taegis’ core offerings are the security platform, Taegis XDR, and our supplemental MDR service, ManagedXDR. Managed Security Services are subscription-based arrangements that typically include a suite of security services utilizing our legacy platform. Our subscription contracts typically range from one to three years and, as of May 5, 2023, averaged approximately two years in duration. The revenue and any related costs for these deliverables are recognized ratably over the contractual term, beginning on the date on which the tenant is made available to customers.
•Professional Services Revenue. Professional services revenue consists primarily of incident response solutions and adversarial testing services. Professional services engagements are typically purchased as fixed-fee and retainer-based contracts. Professional services customers typically purchase solutions pursuant to customized contracts that are shorter in duration. Revenue from these engagements is recognized under the proportional performance method of accounting. Revenue from time and materials-based contracts is recognized as costs are incurred at amounts represented by the agreed-upon billing rates. In general, these contracts have terms of less than one year.
The fees we charge for our solutions vary based on a number of factors, including the solutions selected, the number of customer devices covered by the selected solutions, and the level of management we provide for the solutions. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, approximately 82% of our revenue was derived from subscription-based arrangements, attributable to Taegis solutions and managed security services, while approximately 18% was derived from professional services engagements. As we respond to the evolving needs of our customers, the relative mix of subscription-based solutions and professional services we provide our customers may fluctuate. International revenue, which we define as revenue contracted through non-U.S. entities, represented approximately 36% and 34% of our total net revenue in the first quarter fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively. Although our international customers are located primarily in the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia and Canada, we provided our Taegis solutions or managed security services to customers across 75 countries as of May 5, 2023.
Over all of the periods presented in this report, our pricing strategy for our various offerings was relatively consistent, and accordingly did not significantly affect our revenue growth. However, we may adjust our pricing to remain competitive and support our strategic initiatives.
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue consists of costs incurred to provide subscription and professional services.
•Cost of Subscription Revenue. Cost of subscription revenue consists primarily of personnel-related expenses associated with maintaining our platforms and delivering managed services to our subscription customers, as well as hosting costs for these platforms. Personnel-related expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and performance-based compensation. Also included in cost of subscription revenue are amortization of equipment and costs associated with hardware utilize
