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 provider of intelligence-driven information security solutions singularly focused on protecting the Company's clients from cyber attacks. The Company's solutions enable organizations of varying size and complexity to fortify their cyber defenses to prevent security breaches, detect malicious activity in near real time, prioritize and respond rapidly to security incidents and predict emerging threats. On February 8, 2011, the Company was acquired by Dell Inc. (individually and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Dell" or "Parent"). On October 29, 2013, Dell was acquired by Dell Technologies Inc., formerly known as Denali Holding Inc. ("Dell Technologies"), a parent holding corporation. For the purposes of the accompanying financial statements, the Company elected to utilize pushdown accounting for the acquisition of Dell by Dell Technologies. On April 27, 2016, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO"). Upon the closing of the IPO, Dell Technologies owned, indirectly through Dell Inc. and Dell Inc.'s subsidiaries, no shares of the Company's outstanding Class A common stock and all outstanding shares of the Company's outstanding Class B common stock, which as of August 3, 2018 represented approximately 85.6% of the Company's total outstanding shares of common stock and approximately 98.3% 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 clients with intelligence-driven information security solutions. The Company's chief operating decision maker, who is the President and Chief Executive Officer, makes operating decisions, assesses performance, and allocates resources on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, Secureworks operates its business as a single reportable segment. 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 ("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 9 —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 8 —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 2, 2018 included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2018 (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 February 1, 2019 and the fiscal year ended February 2, 2018 as fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, respectively. Both fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 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. Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements During the fiscal year ended February 2, 2018, the Company revised its balance sheet as of and for the period ended February 3, 2017 as a result of the correction of an error related to prepaid expenses for which the Company had been invoiced, but for which cash had not been remitted. This error resulted in an overstatement of other current assets and accounts payable balances in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and had a corresponding impact to the changes in the balances in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, with no impact on the cash used in operating activities, for the period ended February 3, 2017. The error had no impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Management has concluded that the impact of the misstatement was not material to the previously issued financial statements. Additional information concerning the effect of this revision on the previously issued consolidated financial statements is provided in Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the Annual Report. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Compensation - Stock Compensation —In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-09, "Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting." The amendments in this update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The Company adopted this guidance during the three months ended May 4, 2018 with no material impact on its condensed 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 adoption of this standard had no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Revenue from Contracts with Customers —The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, "Revenue From Contracts With Customers" ("ASC 606") effective February 3, 2018 using the full retrospective method. The cumulative effect of the adoption was recognized as a decrease to accumulated deficit of $51.8 million on February 2, 2018 and impacted certain other prior period amounts. Certain amounts and disclosures set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been updated to comply with the new ASC 606 standard. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Except for the accounting policies for revenue, deferred revenue, deferred commissions and deferred installation costs updated as a result of adopting ASC 606 (including Subtopic 340-40), there have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as of and for the three and six months ended August 3, 2018, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report. Revenue Recognition —Secureworks derives revenue primarily from two sources: (1) subscription revenue related to managed security and threat intelligence solutions; and (2) professional services, including security and risk consulting and incident response solutions. Subscription-based arrangements typically include security solutions, the associated hardware appliance, up-front installation fees and maintenance agreements, which are all typically recognized over the life of the related agreement. The Company has determined that hardware appliances and the related maintenance agreement included in the subscription-based solutions arrangements are incapable of being distinct within the context of the contract as they are required to access the Company's Counter Threat Platform. Moreover, any related installation fees are non-refundable and also incapable of being distinct within the context of the contract. Therefore, the Company has deemed these arrangements as a single performance obligation within the context of a typical subscription-based arrangement. The revenue and any related costs for these deliverables are recognized ratably over the contract term, beginning on the date on which service is made available to clients. Amounts that have been invoiced, but for which the above revenue recognition criteria have not been met, are included in deferred revenue. Professional services consist primarily of fixed-fee and retainer-based contracts. Revenue from these engagements is recognized using an input method over the contract term. The Company reports revenue net of any revenue-based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on, and concurrently with, specific revenue-producing transactions. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: • Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer— A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and the parties are committed to perform and, (iii) payment terms can be identified and collection of substantially all consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for goods or services that will be transferred is deemed probable based on the customer's intent and ability to pay. Contracts entered into for professional services and subscription-based solutions near or at the same time are generally not combined as a single contract for accounting purposes, since neither the pricing nor the services are interrelated. • Identification of the performance obligations in the contract— Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both (i) capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the goods or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and (ii) distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. When promised goods or services are incapable of being distinct, the Company accounts for them as a combined performance obligation. With regard to a typical contract for subscription-based solutions, the performance obligation represents a series of distinct services that will be accounted for as a single performance obligation. In a typical professional services contract, the Company has a separate performance obligation associated with each service. The Company is generally acting as a principal in each subscription-based and professional services arrangement and, thus, recognizes revenue on a gross basis. • Determination of the transaction price— The total transaction price is primarily fixed in nature as the consideration is tied to the specific services purchased by the customer, which constitutes a series for delivery of the solutions over the duration of the contract. For professional services contracts, variable consideration exists in the form of rescheduling penalties and expense reimbursements; no estimation is required at contract inception, since variable consideration is allocated to the applicable period. • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract— The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the performance obligation's standalone selling price. Standalone selling price is determined by considering all information available to the Company, such as historical selling prices of the performance obligation, geographic location, overall strategic pricing objective, market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. • Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies performance obligation— The Company recognizes revenue over time using a time-elapsed output method to measure progress (i.e., ratable recognition) for the subscription-based performance obligation over the contract term. For any upgraded installation services, which the Company has determined represent a performance obligation separate from its subscription-based arrangements, revenue is recognized over time using hours elapsed over the service term as an appropriate method to measure progress. For the performance obligation pertaining to professional services arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue over time using an input method based on time (hours or days) incurred to measure progress over the contract term. As indicated above, the Company has one primary business activity, which is to provide clients with intelligence-driven information security solutions. The Company's chief operating decision maker, who is the President and 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, the Company is considered to be in a single reportable segment and operating unit structure. The following table presents revenue by service type (in thousands): Three Months Ended August 3, 2018 Three Months Ended August 4, 2017 Six Months Ended August 3, 2018 Six Months Ended August 4, 2017 Managed Security Services revenue $ 98,435 $ 91,511 $ 197,135 $ 180,420 Security and Risk Consulting revenue 30,343 24,729 57,804 49,498 Total revenue $ 128,778 $ 116,240 $ 254,939 $ 229,918 Deferred Revenue (Contract Liabilities) —Deferred revenue represents amounts contractually billed to customers or payments received from customers for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Deferred revenue that is expected to be recognized within one year is recorded as short-term deferred revenue and the remaining portion is recorded as long-term deferred revenue. The Company has determined that its contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of the Company's invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing its solutions, not to receive financing from customers or to provide customers with financing. Examples of such terms include invoicing at the beginning of a subscription term with revenue recognized ratably over the contract period. Deferred Commissions and Deferred Fulfillment Costs —The Company accounts for both costs to obtain a contract for a customer, which are defined as costs that the Company would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained, and contract costs by capitalizing and systematically amortizing the assets on a basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the assets relate. These costs generate or enhance resources used in satisfying performance obligations that directly relate to contracts. Applying the practical expedient guidance, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the incremental costs of obtaining contracts that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. The Company's customer acquisition costs are primarily attributable to sales commissions and related fringe benefits earned by the Company's sales force and such costs are considered incremental costs to obtain a contract. Sales commissions for initial contracts are deferred and amortized taking into consideration the pattern of transfer to which assets relate and may include expected renewal periods where renewal commissions are not commensurate with the initial commission period. The Company recognizes the deferred commissions on a straight-line basis over the life of the customer relationship (estimated to be seven years ) in sales and marketing expenses. These assets are classified as non-current, and included in other non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. As of August 3, 2018 and February 2, 2018 , the amount of deferred commissions included in other non-current assets was $59.6 million and $57.2 million , respectively. Additionally, the Company incurs 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. The Company makes judgments regarding the fulfillment costs to be capitalized. Specifically, the Company capitalizes direct labor and associated fringe benefits using standards developed from actual costs and applicable operational data. The Company updates the information quarterly for items such as the estimated amount of time required to perform such activity. The Company capitalizes and amortizes these fulfillment costs on a straight-line basis over the economic life of the services, or approximately four years, in cost of revenue. As of August 3, 2018 and February 2, 2018 , the amount of deferred fulfillment costs included in other non-current assets was $11.0 million and $10.2 million , respectively. ASC 606 Adoption and Revision Impact to Previously Reported Results The Company adjusted its condensed consolidated financial statements from amounts previously reported due to the retrospective adoption of ASC 606 and the revision discussed above. Select unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position line items which reflect the adoption of ASC 606 are as follows (in thousands): February 2, 2018 Adjustments for Adoption of February 2, 2018 (as reported) ASC 606 (as adjusted) Current assets: Other current assets $ 42,163 $ (1,612 ) $ 40,551 Total current assets 302,496 (1,612 ) 300,884 Other non-current assets 4,677 67,392 72,069 Total assets $ 991,301 $ 65,780 $ 1,057,081 Current liabilities: Deferred revenue $ 139,632 $ (1,935 ) $ 137,697 Total current liabilities 244,523 (1,935 ) 242,588 Other non-current liabilities 52,681 15,774 68,455 Total liabilities 312,152 13,839 325,991 Stockholders' equity: Accumulated deficit (188,936 ) 51,774 (137,162 ) Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (137 ) 167 30 Total stockholders' equity $ 679,149 $ 51,941 $ 731,090 Select unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations line items which reflect the retrospective adoption of ASC 606 are as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended August 4, 2017 Adjustments for Adoption of Three Months Ended August 4, 2017 (as reported) ASC 606 (as adjusted) Net revenue $ 116,123 $ 117 $ 116,240 Cost of revenue 56,325 (418 ) 55,907 Gross margin 59,798 535 60,333 Total operating expenses 78,451 (2,187 ) 76,264 Operating loss (18,653 ) 2,722 (15,931 ) Interest and other, net (425 ) 5 (420 ) Income tax benefit (6,960 ) 880 (6,080 ) Net loss $ (12,118 ) $ 1,847 $ (10,271 ) Net loss per common share (basic and diluted) $ (0.15 ) $ 0.02 $ (0.13 ) Six Months Ended August 4, 2017 Adjustments for Adoption of Six Months Ended August 4, 2017 (as reported) ASC 606 (as adjusted) Net revenue $ 229,716 $ 202 $ 229,918 Cost of revenue 110,267 (747 ) 109,520 Gross margin 119,449 949 120,398 Total operating expenses 158,503 (3,178 ) 155,325 Operating loss (39,054 ) 4,127 (34,927 ) Interest and other, net (1,074 ) 5 (1,069 ) Income tax benefit (13,774 ) 1,326 (12,448 ) Net loss $ (26,354 ) $ 2,806 $ (23,548 ) Net loss per common share (basic and diluted) $ (0.33 ) $ 0.04 $ (0.29 ) Select unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows line items which reflect the retrospective adoption of ASC 606 and the impact of the revision discussed above are as follows (in thousands): Six Months Ended August 4, 2017 Adjustments for Adoption Adjustments for Six Months Ended August 4, 2017 (as reported) of ASC 606 Revision (as adjusted) Cash flows from operating activities: Net loss $ (26,354 ) $ 2,806 $ — $ (23,548 ) Adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities: Effects of exchange rate changes on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies 1,456 (7 ) — 1,449 Income tax benefit (15,098 ) 2,650 — (12,448 ) Changes in assets and liabilities: Other assets 606 (3,923 ) (697 ) (4,014 ) Accounts payable (269 ) — 697 428 Deferred revenue 13,819 (202 ) — 13,617 Accrued and other liabilities (8,930 ) (1,324 ) — (10,254 ) Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ (8,415 ) $ — $ — $ (8,415 ) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements 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. 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-to-use assets upon adoption. |
