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 costscost 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, and estimatesassets. Estimates are also used in determining the reported amounts of liabilities, such as taxes payable and the impact of contingencies, all of whichcontingencies. All estimates also impact the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Actual results could differ from these estimates.estimates due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukraine/Russia conflict and impacts of inflation. The Company considered the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and 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 and nine months ended October 28, 2022. As the COVID-19 pandemic and current economic environment continue 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

Compensation - Stock Compensation—In March 2016,Business Combinations – The Company has adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” The guidance requires contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Accounting." The update simplifies the income tax accounting and cash flow presentation related to share-based compensation by requiring the recognition of all excess tax benefits and deficiencies directlyacquirer on the income statement and classification as cash flowsacquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. This update also makes several changes to the accounting for forfeitures and employee tax withholding on share-based compensation. The Company adopted this guidance during the three months ended May 5, 2017Contracts with no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Intangibles - Goodwill and Other—In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which required the Company to determine the implied fair value of goodwill by allocating the reporting unit's fair value to each of its assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit was acquired in a business acquisition. Instead, the updated guidance requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, and recognizing a non-cash impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value with the loss not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The updated guidance is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning in the Company's 2021 fiscal year, with early adoption permitted, and will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard willupdate.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows—In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments - A consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force." The update was issued with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230 and other topics. The update is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning with the Company's 2019 fiscal year, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses—In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." The amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The update is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning with the Company's 2021 fiscal year, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Leases—In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which requires lessees to recognize most lease liabilities on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. The update states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Companies are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The update is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning with the Company's 2020 fiscal year, and early adoption is permitted. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but expects that most of its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new standard and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers—In May 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The objective of the new standard is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The new standard requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also provides guidance on the accounting for costs to fulfill or obtain a customer contract. Further, the new standard requires additional disclosures to help enable users of the financial statements to better understand the nature, amount, timing, risks and judgments related to revenue recognition and related cash flows from contracts with customers.

In August 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of this standard. Public entities are required to adopt the new standard for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented (full retrospective method) or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application in retained earnings (modified retrospective method). The Company currently expects to adopt this standard and its amendments retrospectively to each period presented for the Company's 2019 fiscal year, including interim periods.

The Company expects the adoption of the new standard to impact the accounting for costs to fulfill or obtain a customer contract. The impact may affect both the types of costs deferred and the amortization period of deferred costs. The Company continues to evaluate whether the guidance will have additional impacts on its consolidated financial statements and will also monitor for additional impacts due to anybeen no significant changes to the standard or interpretations that become available.Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2022, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2022.

NOTE 2 — NET LOSS PER SHARE
Net lossLoss 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 as they wouldthat 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.classes of common stock. Since losses were incurred in all periods presented, all potential common shares were determined to be anti-dilutive.

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 (“SaaS”) security platform and (ii) managed security services. Taegis offerings currently include two applications, Extended Detection and Response (“XDR”) and Vulnerability Detection and Response (“VDR”), along with the add-on managed service to supplement the XDR SaaS application, referred to as Managed Detection and Response (“ManagedXDR”). Subscription-based managed security service arrangements typically include a suite of security services, up-front installation fees and maintenance, and they also may include the provision of an associated hardware appliance. Professional services typically include incident response and security and risk consulting solutions.
The following table presents revenue by service type (in thousands):

Total net revenue$110,942 $133,699 $348,139 $407,334 
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 October 28, 2022. Performance obligations related to the Company’s security and risk consulting professional service contracts are separate obligations associated with each service. Although the Company has many multi-year customer relationships for its 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 nine months ended October 28, 2022, on average, approximately 64% of the Company's recurring revenue was billed annually in advance and approximately 36% 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 nine months ended October 28, 2022 and October 29, 2021 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 (“active”); and (ii) the value of subscription-based solutions contracted with customers that have not yet been installed (“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 October 28, 2022, 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

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 nine months ended October 28, 2022 and October 29, 2021 are as follows (in thousands):

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 nine months ended October 28, 2022 or October 29, 2021.

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. There were no additions, adjustments or impairmentsassumed, as well as subsequent business combinations completed by the Company. Goodwill decreased $0.5 million due to goodwill duringforeign currency translation for the periods presented. Accordingly, goodwillnine months ended October 28, 2022, compared to January 28, 2022. Goodwill totaled $416.5$425.4 million and $425.9 million as of November 3, 2017October 28, 2022 and February 3, 2017.

January 28, 2022, 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 itsthe most recent annual impairment test in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 by performing a qualitative assessment ofassessing goodwill at the reporting unit level, as well as the Company’s indefinite-lived trade name asset at the individual asset level. In performing this qualitative assessment,The Company has one reporting unit.
For the annual impairment review in the third quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company evaluated events and circumstances sinceelected to bypass the dateassessment of the last quantitative impairment test including the results of that test, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, key financial metrics and the overall financial performance of the Company. After assessing the totality of the events and circumstances, the Company determined thatqualitative factors to determine whether it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the Secureworksits reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, and, therefore, thatincluding goodwill. In electing to bypass the first and second steps ofqualitative assessment, the Company proceeded directly to performing a quantitative goodwill impairment test were unnecessary. Further,to measure the fair value of its reporting unit relative to its carrying amount, and to determine the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized, if any.
The fair value of the goodwill 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 goodwill reporting unit, potentially resulting in a non-cash impairment charge.
The fair value of the indefinite-lived trade names is generally estimated using discounted cash flow methodologies. The discounted cash flow methodology requires significant judgment, including estimation of future revenue, the estimation of the long-term revenue growth rate of the Company’s business and the 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 indicates no triggering events have subsequently transpired that would indicate a potential impairment as of November 3, 2017.

NOTE 56 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal ContingenciesFrom 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'sCompany’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'sCompany’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 November 3, 2017,October 28, 2022, the Company does not believe that there were any such matters that, individually or in the aggregate, couldwould have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Client-basedCustomer-based Taxation ContingenciesVarious government entities ("(“taxing authorities"authorities”) require the Company to bill its clientscustomers 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'sCompany’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 October 28, 2022, the Company is under audit with various state taxing authorities in which rulings related to the taxability of certain of its services are pending. During the three months ended October 28, 2022, the Company paid $2.6 million relating to such matters. As of October 28, 2022, the Company has recorded an estimated liability of $6.2 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 clientscustomers from certain losses incurred by the clientcustomer as to third-party claims relating to the services performed on behalf of the Company or for certain losses incurred by the clientcustomer 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 clientscustomers of all sizes primarily through its direct sales organization, supplemented by sales through channel partners. TheDuring the three and nine months ended October 28, 2022 and October 29, 2021, the Company had no clientcustomer that represented 10% or more of its net revenuerevenue.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2017 includes a discrete impact for the three-month period of approximately $0.3 million primarily relating to lower research and development tax credits than originally estimated. The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended November 3, 2017 also includes expense of approximately $0.8 million relating 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.

During the periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements,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.

Net deferredEffective for tax balances are included in other non-current assetsyears beginning on or after January 1, 2022, the Tax Cuts and other non-current liabilitiesJobs Act of 2017 eliminated the option to deduct research and development (“R&D”) expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statementsyear 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 Financial Position.the United States. If Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code is not modified, repealed or deferred to a future date by the United States Congress, then the Company will have taxable income in the near-term delaying Dell’s utilization of the Company’s net operating losses to future years.

The Company's effective tax benefit rate was 23.2% and 22.3% for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2022, respectively, and 20.3% and 21.3% for the three and nine months ended October 29, 2021, 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 $0.1 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2022, respectively, and $(0.5) million and $(0.4) million for the three and nine months ended October 29, 2021, 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 for both the three and nine month periods ended October 28, 2022 and higher than the fair value for both the three and nine month periods ended October 29, 2021 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 both the three and nine month periods ended October 28, 2022 and a higher actual tax deduction for both the three and nine months ended October 29, 2021 than the amounts deducted for financial reporting purposes.
As of November 3, 2017each of October 28, 2022 and February 3, 2017,January 28, 2022, the Company had $3.0$5.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively, 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, 2017.January 28, 2022. 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 November 3, 2017October 28, 2022 and February 3, 2017.January 28, 2022. Because the Company is included in the tax filings of certain other Dell entities, management has determined that it will be able to realize the remainder of its deferred tax assets. 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 nine months ended November 3, 2017October 28, 2022 would have been $57.9$95.8 million, $7.6$4.3 million and $50.3$91.5 million, respectively, as a result of the recognition of a valuation allowance that would have been recorded on certaina significant amount of deferred tax assets.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.

COVID-19
In December 2019, a novel strain of the coronavirus, COVID-19, was reported in mainland China. The World Health Organization declared the outbreak to constitute a “pandemic” on March 11, 2020. This led to a significant disruption of normal business operations globally, as businesses, including Secureworks, implemented modifications to protect employees by restricting travel and directing employees to work-from-home, in some instances as required by federal, state and local authorities. While we instituted a global work-from-home policy beginning in March 2020, we did not incur significant disruptions in our business operations or a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or capital resources for the three and duration of security breaches through proactive client preparation, rapid containment and thorough event analysis followed by effective remediation. We continuously evaluate potential investments and acquisitions of businesses, services and technologies that could complement our existing offerings.nine months ended October 28, 2022. We have experienced a single organization responsible for the delivery of our security solutions, which enables us to respond quickly to our clients' evolving needs and help them secure themselves against cyber attacks.

The fees we chargelimited reduction in customer demand for our solutions vary basedthat we believe is attributable to COVID-19, which may impact our results in future periods.
We continue to actively monitor the impacts and potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in all aspects of our business. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our future operational and financial performance will depend on various developments, including the duration and spread of variations of the virus, effectiveness and acceptance of vaccines deployed to contain the virus, impact on our employees, customers and vendors, impact on our customers’ liquidity and our volume of sales, and length of our sales cycles, none of which can be predicted with certainty. The pandemic might further curtail customer spending, lead to delayed or deferred purchasing decisions, lengthen sales cycles and result in delays in receiving customer or partner payments. These effects, individually or in the aggregate, could have a numbermaterial negative impact on our future results of operations and financial condition. Due to our subscription-based business model, any such effects of COVID-19 may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that our future success will depend on many factors, including the adoption of our Taegis solutions selected,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:
Transition to Taegis Solutions. Commencing in fiscal 2021, we began transitioning customers away from non-strategic other managed security subscription services to Taegis subscription solutions. In line with this transition strategy, we informed 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 are not expected to extend beyond the end of fiscal 2023. Although we believe this business transition will enable us to offer security services with higher profit margins, we will continue to incur substantial costs in connection with the transition and, during the transition period, we could lose competitive bids to other cybersecurity solutions providers for the sale of such services.
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 client devices coveredways 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 cyber defense strategy requires the coordinated deployment of multiple products and solutions tailored to an organization’s specific security needs. Our integrated suite of solutions, including our new Taegis offerings, is 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 security platform and solutions will contribute to long-term revenue growth, but such investment may continue to adversely affect our prospects for near-term profitability.
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 cannot be certain that we will realize increased revenue from our solutions development initiatives. We believe that our investment in solutions development will contribute to long-term revenue growth, but such investment may continue to adversely affect our prospects for near-term profitability.

Investments in Expanding Our Customer Base and Deepening Our Customer Relationships. To support future sales, we will need to continue to devote resources to the development of our global sales force. We have made and plan to continue to make significant investments in expanding our go-to-market efforts with direct sales, channel partners and marketing. Any investments we make in our sales and marketing operations will occur before we realize any benefits from such investments. The investments we have made, or intend to make, to strengthen our sales and marketing efforts may not result in an increase in revenue or an improvement in our results of operations. Although we believe our investment in sales and marketing will help us improve our results of operations in the long term, the resulting increase in operating expenses attributable to these sales and marketing functions may continue to affect our profitability in the near term. 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 selectedhighly 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 the level of management we provide for the solutions. Over all of the periods presented, approximately 80% ofretaining top talent to support and enhance our revenue was derived from subscription-based solutions, attributable to managedinformation security contracts, while approximately 20% was derived from professional services engagements. As we respond to the evolving needs of our clients, the relative mix of subscription-based solutions and professional services we provide our clients may fluctuate.

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. Despite these declines, our gross profit has remained relatively stable and our gross margins have increased. 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, early in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we announced 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 platforms. Renewals associated with many of our existing other managed security subscription services are not expected to extend beyond the end of fiscal 2023.
In recent years, we have experienced broadThe transition has resulted in the growth acrossof our Taegis portfolio of intelligence-driventechnology-driven information security solutions being providedoffered to customers of all sizes of clients.and across all industries. We have achieved much of this organic growth by providing solutionsre-solutioning existing customers to large enterprise clients,our Taegis offerings, which generate substantially more average revenue than our smallper customer, and medium-sized business, or SMB clients, and by continually expanding thethrough continued expansion in volume and breadth of the securityTaegis solutions that we provide to all clients.

Total average subscription revenue per client arecustomer 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. Additionally, our clientOur customer composition of both enterprise and SMB companiessmall and medium sized businesses provides us with an opportunity to expand our professional services revenue.
Monthly Recurring Revenue. We define monthly recurring revenue as the monthly value As of October 28, 2022 and October 29, 2021, approximately 51% and 59%, respectively, of our subscription contracts as of a particular date. Because we use monthly recurring revenue as a leading indicator of future annual revenue, we include operational backlog. We define operational backlog as the monthly recurring revenue associated with pending contracts, which are contracts that have been sold but for which the service period has not yet commenced. Our increase in monthly recurring revenue has been driven primarily byprofessional services customers subscribed to our continuing ability to expand our offerings and sell additionalTaegis solutions to existing clients, as well as by growth in our client base. Overall, we expect monthly recurring revenue to continue to grow as we retain and expand our client base, and as our clients extend the use of our solutions over time.or managed security services.

Net Revenue Retention Rate. OurNet revenue retention rate is an important measure of our success in retaining and growing revenue from our subscription-based clients.customers. To calculate our revenue retention rate for any period, we compare the monthlyannual recurring revenue excluding operational backlog of our subscription-based client basecustomers at the beginning of the fiscal year which we call our base(base recurring revenue,revenue) to the monthly recurring revenue excluding operational backlogsame measure from that same cohort of clientscustomers at

the end of the period, which we call our retainedfiscal year (retained recurring revenue.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 clientscustomers 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 clientscustomers and the negative revenue impacts of clientcustomer or service attrition during the period. However, theThe calculation, however, does not include the positive impact on revenue from sales of solutions to any clientscustomers acquired during the period. Our net revenue retention rates may declineincrease or increasedecline from period to period as a result of severalvarious factors, including the timing of solutionsolutions installations and clientcustomer renewal rates.


Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we revised our calculation to exclude operational backlog as we believe the revised approach provides a more meaningful indication of the retention of reported revenues. Under the prior calculation methodology, our revenue retention rate was 96% for the three months ended October 28, 2016.

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'smanagement’s discussion and analysis include non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP subscription cost of revenue, non-GAAP professional services cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP subscription gross profit, non-GAAP professional services gross profit, non-GAAP 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 loss,income (loss), non-GAAP net loss,(loss) income, non-GAAP net loss(loss) earnings 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.

In particular, we have excluded the impact of certain purchase accounting adjustments related to a change in the basis of deferred revenue for the acquisition of Dell by Dell Technologies in fiscal 2014. We believe it is useful to exclude such purchase accounting adjustments related to the foregoing transactions as this deferred revenue generally results from multi-year service contracts under which deferred revenue is established upon sale and revenue is recognized over the term of the contract. Pursuant to the fair value provisions applicable to the accounting for business combinations, GAAP requires this deferred revenue to be recorded at its fair value, which is typically less than the book value. In presenting non-GAAP earnings, we add back the reduction in revenue that results from this revaluation on the expectation that a significant majority of these service contracts will be renewed in the future and therefore the revaluation is not helpful in predicting our ongoing revenue trends. We believe that this non-GAAP financial adjustment is useful to investors because it allows investors to (1) evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, and (2) compare past and future reports of financial results of our Company as the revenue reduction related to acquired deferred revenue will not recur when related service contracts are renewed in future periods.

There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this management'smanagement’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.

Non-GAAP revenue,The non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share,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, gross margin,profit, subscription cost of revenue, professional services cost of revenue, operating expense, research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, operating loss orincome (loss), net loss preparedincome (loss), earnings (loss) per share in accordance with GAAP and 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:
Impact of Purchase Accounting. The impact of purchase accounting consists primarily of purchase accounting adjustments related to a change in the basis of deferred revenue related to the acquisition of Dell by Dell Technologies in fiscal 2014.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets consists of amortization ofassociated with external software development costs capitalized and acquired customer relationships and acquired technology. In connection with the acquisition of Dell by Dell Technologies in fiscal 2014 alland 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. Accordingly, amortization of intangible assets consists of amortization associated with intangible assets recognized in connection with this transaction.

Stock-based Compensation. Compensation Expense. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense relates to both the Dell Technologies and SecureworksSecureworks' equity plans.plan. We exclude such expensesexpense when assessing the effectiveness of our operating performance since stock-based compensation does not necessarily correlate with the underlying operating performance of the business.

Other. Other includes professional fees incurred by us in connection with our IPO and amounts expensed in the settlement of a legal matter. We are excluding these expenses for the purpose of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures presented below because we believe these items are outside of our ordinary course of business and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our current operating performance or comparisons to our past operating performance.

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 February 8, 2011, we were acquired by Dell Inc. On October 29, 2013, Dell was acquired by Dell Technologies Inc. (formerly known as Denali Holding Inc.), a parent holding corporation. For the purposes of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we elected to utilize pushdown accounting for the acquisition of Dell by Dell Technologies. On April 27, 2016, we completed our IPO, as further described below.IPO. Upon the closing of our IPO, Dell Technologies owned, indirectly through Dell Inc. and Dell Inc.'s’s subsidiaries, no shares of our outstanding Class A common stock and all shares of our outstanding Class B common stock, which as of November 3, 2017October 28, 2022 represented approximately 86.3%82.7% of our total outstanding shares of common stock and approximately 98.4%97.9% of the combined voting power of both classes of our outstanding common stock.

Since acquiring us in 2011,As a majority-owned subsidiary of Dell, has provided us withwe 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. Through the first two quarters of fiscal 2016, the costs of such services were allocated to us based on the most relevant allocation method to the service provided, primarily based on relative percentage of total net sales, relative percentage of headcount, or specific identification. We believe the basis on which the expenses were allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by us during the periods presented. Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, theThe 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.

During the periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, Secureworks did not file separate federal tax returns, as Secureworks was generally was included in the tax grouping of other Dell entities within the respective entity'sentity’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 expectexpected to be utilized by other members of the Dell consolidated group. For more information, see "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 7—Statements —Note 9—Income and Other Taxes" in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

As a majority owned subsidiary of Dell,Additionally, we have participatedparticipate in various commercial arrangements with Dell, under which, for example, we provide information security solutions to third-party clientscustomers 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.

The commercial agreements set the terms and conditions for transactions between Dell and us, while our shared services agreement with Dell sets the terms and conditions for certain administrative functions that continue to be provided by Dell. These agreements generally arewere 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. As of November 3, 2017, we have established a substantial portion of our stand-alone corporate functions.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Benefit
Our effective tax benefit rate after discrete items, was 34.7%23.2% and 43.8%22.3% for the three months ended November 3, 2017 and October 28, 2016, respectively, and 34.4% and 39.1% for the nine months ended November 3, 2017 and October 28, 2016, respectively. Before discrete items, our effective tax rate was 36.7% for both the three months and nine months ended November 3, 2017, respectively. The decrease in the Company's effective income tax rateOctober 28, 2022, respectively, and 20.3% and 21.3% for the three months ended November 3, 2017 compared to the effective income tax rate for the threeand nine months ended October 28, 201629, 2021, respectively. The change in effective tax rate between the periods was primarily attributable to the impact of certain adjustments related to the vesting of stock-based compensation awards and the recognition of additional tax benefits relatedrelating to research and development tax credits during the third quarter of fiscal 2017 and a decrease in tax benefits related to research and development tax credits during the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease in the Company's effective income tax rate for the nine months ended November 3, 2017 compared to the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended October 28, 2016 was also attributable to the vesting of certain equity

awards during the nine months ended November 3, 2017, of which the fair value on the vesting date was lower than the fair value on the date the equity awards were originally granted. This 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 than was deducted for financial reporting purposes. Additionally, the Company's effective income tax rate has declined due to a change in the mix of geographic activity.

credits.
We calculate a provision for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized by identifying the temporary differences arising from the different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. We provide valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, where appropriate. We file U.S. federal returns on a consolidated basis with Dell and we expect to continue doing so until such time if any,(if any) as we are deconsolidated for tax purposes with respect to the Dell consolidated group. According to the terms of the tax matters agreement between Dell Technologies and Secureworks that went into effect on August 1, 2015, Dell Technologies will reimburse us for any amounts by which our tax assets reduce the amount of tax liability owed by the Dell group on an unconsolidated basis. For a further discussion of income tax matters, see "Notes“Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 7—9—Income and Other Taxes" in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Liquidity and Capital Commitments and Contractual Cash Obligations
Overview
Following our IPO, our capital structure and sources of liquidity changed significantly from our historical capital structure. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents which include the net proceeds from our IPO not yet invested in our business, and our accounts receivable will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our material cash requirements, including to fund our business and meet our obligations for at least 12 months.months from the filing date of this report and for the foreseeable future thereafter. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the rate of expansion of our workforce, the timing and extent of our expansion into new markets, the timing of introductions of new functionality and enhancements to our solutions, potential acquisitions of complementary businesses and technologies, continuing market acceptance of our solutions, and general economic and market conditions. We may need to raise additional capital or incur indebtedness to continue to fund our operations in the future or to fund our needs for less predictable strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions. In addition to our $30 million revolving credit facility from Dell, described below, sources of financing may include arrangements with unaffiliated third parties, depending on the availability of capital, the cost of funds and lender collateral requirements. On March 28, 2017, the original term of our facility with Dell was extended on the same terms for an additional one-year term ending on April 21, 2018.

We invoice our clients based on a variety of billing schedules. In general, we bill approximately 48% of our recurring revenue in advance and approximately 52% on either a monthly or a quarterly basis. Invoiced accounts receivable generally are collected over a period of 30 to 120 days. The increase in accounts receivable was due to increased revenue as well as the timing of submission of invoices to our clients during our implementation of a new enterprise accounting software system. Additionally, the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 had 14 weeks as compared to 13 weeks for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and thus reflected an additional week of collections that resulted in a lower accounts receivable balance as of February 3, 2017. We regularly monitor our accounts receivable for collectability and believe that we are adequately reserved for expected credit losses. We monitor the aging of our accounts receivable and continue to take actions to reduce our exposure to credit losses.

We began fiscal 2018 with a net payable to Dell of $10.2 million. On a continuing basis, we incur liabilities to Dell for charges under the various commercial agreements in place and for costs Dell continues to pay directly on our behalf, such as the cost of Secureworks employee benefits provided for under the Dell benefit plans. Offsetting these liabilities, we charge to, or through, Dell for sales to our clients that we make through Dell legal entities or for services we provide directly to Dell. As of November 3, 2017, the amount due to Dell had increased to approximately $18.0 million. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, we began settling in cash our related party balances with Dell and will continue doing so on a quarterly basis.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our expenses in international locations and payments made by clients in those locations generally are denominated in the currencies of the countries in which our operations are located. Our results of operations and cash flows have been and will continue to be subject to fluctuations because of changes in global inflation and foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Euro, the British Pound, the Romanian Leu, the Japanese Yen, the Australian Dollar and the Canadian Dollar, which are the currencies of countries where we currently have our most significant international operations. Our expenses in international locations are generally denominated in the currencies of the countries in which our operations are located.
As our international operations grow, we may begin to use foreign exchange forward contracts as a strategy to partially mitigate the impact of fluctuations in net monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies.
