Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company's financial statements. 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 costs of these services are charged in accordance with a shared services agreement that went into effect on August 1, 2015. For more information regarding the charges for these services and related party transactions, see "Note 11—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 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. See "Note 10—Income and Other Taxes" for more information.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals and disclosures considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended February 1, 2019 included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2019 (the "Annual Report").

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 January 31, 2020 and the fiscal year ended February 1, 2019 as fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively. Both fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 have 52 weeks, and each quarter has 13 weeks.

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 costs 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, goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets, and estimates are used in determining the reported amounts of liabilities, such as taxes payable and the impact of contingencies, all of which also impact the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recently Adopted/Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Leases—The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," effective February 2, 2019. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842 "Leases" requires lessees to recognize operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, representing their right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. The guidance also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective method and utilized the optional transition method under which the Company will continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative period presented. In addition, Secureworks elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which permits the following: (i) carry forward the historical lease classification, (ii) not separate lease components from non-lease components within the Company's facility lease contracts, (iii) not present comparative periods but rather record a cumulative catch-up during fiscal 2020, and (iv) allow the Company to elect, by asset class, not to record on the balance sheet a lease whose term is twelve months or less including reasonably certain renewal options.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software—In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in such cloud computing arrangements with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. 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. Entities may choose to adopt the new guidance prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its 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 will have a material impact 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Except for the accounting policies for leases, updated as a result of adopting ASC 842, there have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the nine months ended November 1, 2019, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report.

Leases—The Company determines if any arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception based on whether or not the Company has the right to control the asset during the contract period and other facts and circumstances. Secureworks is the lessee in a lease contract when the Company obtains the right to control the asset. Operating leases are included in the line items operating lease right-of-use assets, net; accrued and other; and operating lease liabilities, non-current in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company determines the lease term by assuming the exercise of renewal options that are reasonably certain. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, Secureworks uses the Company's incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of future payments. When the Company's contracts contain lease and nonlease components, the Company accounts for both components as a single lease component. Refer to "Note 7 —Leases" for further discussion.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures fair value within the guidance of the three-level valuation hierarchy. This hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The categorization of a measurement within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:


•	Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities


•	Level 2 - Other observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

•

Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs
