Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Nature of Operations

Sumo Logic, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in March 2010. The Company provides, on a cloud-native software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) delivery model, a software analytics platform for reliable and secure cloud-native applications to address the challenges and opportunities presented by digital transformation, modern applications, and cloud computing. The platform helps customers ensure application reliability, secure and protect against modern security threats, and gain insights into their cloud infrastructure.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31. Unless otherwise stated, references to year in these consolidated financial statements relate to the above described fiscal year rather than calendar year.

Initial Public Offering

On September 21, 2020, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”), in which it sold 14,800,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price $22.00 per share. On October 9, 2020, the Company sold an additional 2,220,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $22.00 per share pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. The Company received net proceeds of $342.7 million, after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions and offering costs of $31.8 million. Immediately prior to the IPO, all shares of outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock were converted into 63,761,950 shares of common stock on a one-to-one basis. Redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants also converted into 32,276 warrants to purchase common stock on a one-to-one basis.

Prior to the IPO, all deferred offering costs were capitalized in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred offering costs of $6.5 million, primarily consisting of accounting, legal, and other fees related to the Company’s IPO, were offset against the IPO proceeds upon the closing of the Company’s IPO in September of 2020.
