DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Description of the Business SecureWorks Corp. (individually and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Secureworks” or the “Company”) is a leading global cybersecurity provider of technology-driven security solutions singularly focused on protecting the Company’s customers by outpacing and outmaneuvering adversaries. On April 27, 2016, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”). Upon the closing of the IPO, Dell Technologies Inc. (“Dell Technologies”) owned, indirectly through Dell Inc. and Dell Inc.’s subsidiaries (Dell Inc., individually and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Dell”) all shares of the Company’s outstanding Class B common stock, which as of January 28, 2022 represented approximately 83.1% of the Company’s total outstanding shares of common stock and approximately 98.0% of the combined voting power of both classes of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company has one primary business activity, which is to provide customers with technology-driven information security 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. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The Company’s 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 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 coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic on the Company’s critical and significant accounting estimates. The 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 14—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 12—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 years ended January 28, 2022, January 29, 2021 and January 31, 2020, as fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively. Fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 each consisted of 52 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 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 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 purchase price allocation for business combinations. 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations. Actual results could differ from these estimates due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company considered the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its estimates and assumptions and determined there was not a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2022. As the COVID-19 pandemic 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 the pandemic continues to evolve, the Company’s estimates may change materially in future periods.
