REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of SentinelOne, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SentinelOne, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of January 31, 2021 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2021 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business
SentinelOne, Inc. (SentinelOne, we, our, or us) was incorporated in January 2013 in the State of Delaware. On March 29, 2021, we amended our certificate of incorporation to change our name from Sentinel Labs, Inc. to SentinelOne, Inc. We are a cybersecurity provider that delivers an artificial intelligence-powered platform to enable autonomous cybersecurity defense. Our headquarters is located in Mountain View, California with various other global office locations.
Initial Public Offering and Private Placement
In July 2021, we completed our initial public offering (IPO) and a concurrent private placement, in which we issued and sold an aggregate of 41,678,568 shares of our Class A common stock at $ 35 per share, including 5,250,000 shares issued upon the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares and 1,428,568 shares issued pursuant to the private placement. We received net proceeds of approximately $ 1.4 billion after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and deferred offering costs.
Upon closing of the IPO, all 167,058,113 shares of our then-outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock automatically converted into an aggregate of 169,787,200 shares of Class B common stock. All of our redeemable convertible preferred stock converted on a one-to-one basis, other than 31,405,183 shares of our then-outstanding Series E redeemable preferred stock, which converted into 34,134,270 shares of Class B common stock.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SentinelOne and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fiscal Year
Our fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020 refer to the fiscal years ended January 31, 2022, January 31, 2021 and January 31, 2020, respectively.
Forward Stock Split
On February 6, 2020, we effected a one-to-three forward stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock. The par values of common stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock were not adjusted as a result of the stock split. All references to shares of common stock, options, warrants, and redeemable convertible preferred stock and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the forward stock split for the periods presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of our common stock prior to our IPO in June 2021, stock-based compensation, the period of benefit for deferred contract acquisition costs, standalone selling prices (SSP) for each performance obligation, useful lives of long-lived assets, the incremental borrowing rate (IBR) used for operating lease liabilities, and accounting for income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
92
Table of Contents
SENTINELONE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require increased judgment. These estimates and assumptions may change in future periods and will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements as new events occur and additional information becomes known. To the extent our actual results differ materially from those estimates and assumptions, our future financial statements could be affected.
Segment and Geographic Information
We have a single operating and reportable segment. Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing financial performance. For information regarding our revenue and long-lived assets by geography, see Notes 3 and 14, respectively.
Foreign Currency
During fiscal 2022, we changed the functional currency of certain subsidiaries from their respective local currency to the U.S. dollar. The change in functional currency is due to increased exposure to the U.S. dollar as a result of a change in facts and circumstances in the primary economic environment in which these subsidiaries operate. The effects of the change in functional currency were not significant to our consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent to the change, our reporting currency and the functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and were not material for any periods presented.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for the subscriptions and services. We apply the following five-step approach to recognize revenue:
(i) Identification of the Contract, or Contracts, with the Customer —We determine that we have a contract with a customer when the contract is approved, the payment terms for the services can be identified, each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred can be identified, the customer has the ability and intent to pay, and the contract has commercial substance. We apply judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intent to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, credit and financial information of the customer.
We sell through our indirect relationships with our channel partners or direct relationships with end customers through our internal sales force. Apart from certain sales arrangements where channel partners are determined to be our customers, we have concluded that the end customer is our customer.
(ii) Identification of the Performance Obligations in the Contract —Performance obligations in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to a customer that are both capable of being distinct, where the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, we apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
93
Table of Contents
SENTINELONE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have concluded that our contracts with customers do not contain warranties that give rise to a separate performance obligation.
(iii) Determination of the Transaction Price —The transaction price is the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled from a customer in exchange for providing the subscriptions and services. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in our judgment, it is probable that no significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will occur.
Some of our end customers are entitled to receive service level commitment credits, in which we may be contractually obligated to provide partial refunds, and in rare instances, each representing a form of variable consideration. We have historically not experienced any significant incidents affecting the defined guarantees of performance levels or service response affecting the defined guarantees of performance levels or service response rates, and accordingly, estimated refunds related to service level commitment credits in the consolidated financial statements were not material during fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020.
None of our contracts contain a significant financing component. The transaction price excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as sales taxes.
(iv) Allocation of the Transaction Price to the Performance Obligations in the Contract —If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative SSP.
(v) Recognition of Revenue when, or as, Performance Obligations are Satisfied —Revenue is recognized when control of the related performance obligation is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for the subscriptions or services.
We generate substantially all of our revenue from subscriptions to our Singularity Platform. Our Singularity Platform delivers artificial intelligence-powered threat prevention, detection, and response capabilities, enabling an automatic protection against a full spectrum of cyber threats. We built our Singularity Platform to be deployed as a cloud service or in private and hybrid clouds. Customers can extend the functionality of their subscription to our platform by subscribing to additional Singularity Modules. The nature of our promise to the customer under the subscription is to stand ready to provide protection for the duration of the contractual term. As a result, we recognize revenue for these performance obligations ratably over the contractual term. Premium support and maintenance and other Singularity Modules are distinct from subscriptions and are recognized ratably over the term as the performance obligations are satisfied.
We generally invoice our customers upfront upon signing for the entire term of the contract, periodically, or in arrears. Most of our subscription contracts have a term of one to three years. Our payment terms typically range between 30 to 45 days. The invoiced amounts are treated as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets and are recognized ratably over the term of the contract beginning on the date the customer is given access to our platform. Our contracts are generally non-cancelable over the contractual term.
Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations
Our contracts with customers may contain multiple promised services consisting of subscriptions to our Singularity Platform, premium support and maintenance, and other Singularity Modules that are distinct and accounted for separately. The transaction price is allocated to separate performance obligations on a relative SSP basis. Our best evidence for SSP is the price we charge for the subscription or service when we sell it separately in similar circumstances to similar customers. In instances where performance obligations do not have observable standalone sales, we utilize available information that may include, but is not limited to, product groupings or applying the expected cost-plus margin approach to estimate the price we would charge if the service was sold separately.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of third-party cloud infrastructure expenses incurred in connection with the hosting and maintenance of our platform, personnel-related costs associated with our customer support and services organization, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation, amortization of capitalized internal-use software, software and subscription services used by our customer support and services team, and allocated overhead costs.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, unless they qualify for recognition as capitalized internal-use software. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation, consulting fees, software and subscription services, third-party cloud infrastructure expenses incurred in developing our platform and modules, and allocated overhead costs.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising expenses were $ 7.8 million, $ 6.2 million, and $ 4.2 million, for fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based awards issued to employees and directors based on the fair value of the awards at grant date. The fair value of stock option awards granted and rights to purchase shares under our employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) are generally estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock-based compensation expense for awards with only service-based vesting conditions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Forfeitures are accounted for in the period in which they occur.
We granted certain awards that have both a service-based and achievements of certain milestones. We recognize stock-based compensation expense on a graded basis over the total requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the performance tranches related to these performance milestone options.
We also granted stock option awards with a service-based, performance-based, and market-based vesting conditions to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, These stock options will vest 100% upon the occurrence of our IPO (the performance-based vesting condition) and the achievement of certain milestone events and our share price targets (the market-based vesting conditions), subject to the executive’s continued service to us from the grant date through the milestone events. For these options, we used a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value at the grant date and the implied service period. For these awards, stock-based compensation expense is recognized using the accelerated attribution method over the requisite implied service period when it is probable the performance-based vesting condition will be achieved.
Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions.
We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as from net operating loss carryforwards, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
A valuation allowance is established if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations, and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We recognize income tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if we believe that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. We recognize penalties and accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of other income (expense), net and interest expense, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations.
Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
We compute basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders using the two-class method required for participating securities. We consider our redeemable convertible preferred stock, restricted common stock, and shares issued upon the early exercise of stock options subject to repurchase to be participating securities. Under the two-class method, net loss is not allocated to redeemable convertible preferred stock, restricted common stock, and early exercised stock options as the holders do not have a contractual obligation to share in our losses.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of amounts invested in money market funds. Restricted cash consists of collateralized letters of credit established in connection with lease agreements for our office facilities. Restricted cash, current and non-current, are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash to the total of these amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):
As of January 31,
2022 2021
Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,669,304 $ 395,472
Restricted cash, current — 946
Restricted cash, non-current 2,747 2,694
$ 1,672,051 $ 399,112
Short-Term Investments
We determine the appropriate classification of our investments at the time of purchase and reevaluate such determination at each balance sheet date. We classify our investments as available-for-sale securities and present them within current assets as we may liquidate these investments at any time for use in our current operations or for any other purpose. Our investments are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, if any, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Unrealized gains and losses and decline in value that are considered to be other-than-temporary are recognized in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. We did not identify any investments with other-than-temporary impairments as of January 31, 2022 and 2021. Realized gains and losses on the sale of short-term investments are determined on a specific identification method and are recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. There were no realized gains or losses on the sale of short-term investments during fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020.
Strategic Investments
Our strategic investments consist of non-marketable equity investments in privately held companies. We elect to apply the measurement alternative and record these investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Strategic investments are included within other assets on our consolidated balance sheets and adjustments to their carrying amounts are recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. There were no material events or circumstances impacting the carrying amount of our strategic investments during fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020.

Deferred Offering Costs
Prior to the IPO, all deferred offering costs were capitalized in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred offering costs of $ 7.6 million, primarily consisting of accounting, legal, and other fees related to our IPO, were offset against the IPO proceeds upon the closing of our IPO in July 2021.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The carrying amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheets for cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and accrued payroll and benefits approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. We maintain our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions mainly in the U.S. and Israel. We have not experienced any credit losses relating to our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments. For accounts receivable, we are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonpayment by customers to the extent of the amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. We perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral.
The only channel partner that represented 10% or more of accounts receivable, net for the periods presented was as follows:
As of January 31,
2022

2022 2021 2020
Channel partner A 18 % 19 % 19 %
Channel partner B * 13 % 14 %
*Less than 10%
There were no end customers that represented 10% or more of total revenue for fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and are non-interest bearing. We have a well-established collection history from our channel partners and end customers. We periodically evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable and provide an allowance for doubtful accounts as necessary, based on the age of the receivable, expected payment ability, and collection experience. As of January 31, 2022 and 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts was not material.
Deferred Contract Acquisition Costs
97
Table of Contents
SENTINELONE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We capitalize sales commissions and associated payroll taxes that are incremental to obtaining a customer contract, which are recorded as deferred contract acquisition costs on the consolidated balance sheets. Sales commissions for the renewal of a contract are not considered commensurate with commissions paid for the initial contracts, given the substantive difference in commission rates in proportion to their respective contract values. Commissions paid on a new contract are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated period of benefit of four years , while commissions paid on renewal contracts are amortized over the contractual term of the renewal. We determine the estimated period of benefit based on both quantitative and qualitative factors, including the duration of our relationships with customers and the estimated useful life of our technology. Amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs is included in sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
We periodically review these deferred contract acquisition costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could impact the period of benefit. We did not recognize any impairment of deferred contract acquisition costs during fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Estimated Useful Life
Office furniture and equipment 5 years
Computers, software, and electronic equipment 3 years
Capitalized internal-use software 4 years
Leasehold improvements Shorter of useful life or remaining term of lease
Costs for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Capitalized Internal-Use Software
We capitalize certain internal-use software development costs related to our cloud platform. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development and post-development are expensed as incurred. Internal and external costs incurred during the development phase, if direct, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for our intended use. We also capitalize costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized internal-use software is included in property and equipment and is amortized to cost of revenue on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Including Goodwill and Intangible Assets)
Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the asset group. No impairment loss was recorded during fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020.
Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. The impairment test consists of a qualitative assessment to determine if the quantitative assessment is required. Goodwill impairment is recognized when the quantitative assessment results in the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeding its fair value, net of related income tax effect, in which case an impairment charge is recorded to goodwill to the extent the carrying value exceeds the fair value, limited to the amount of goodwill. We did not recognize any impairment of goodwill during fiscal 2022.

Business Combinations
We account for our acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain identifiable assets include, but are not limited to, the selection of valuation methodologies, future expected cash flows, discount rates, and useful lives. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Acquisition costs, such as legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 17 for additional information regarding our acquisitions.
Leases
In accordance with ASC 842, we determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception by evaluating various factors, including if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration and other facts and circumstances. Operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, which is the non-cancelable period stated in the contract adjusted for any options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.
Lease payments consist of the fixed payments under the arrangement, less any lease incentives, such as tenant improvement allowances. Variable costs, such as maintenance and utilities based on actual usage, are not included in the measurement of operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities and are expensed when the event determining the amount of variable consideration to be paid occurs. When the implicit rate of the leases is not determinable, we use an IBR based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
We account for lease components and non-lease components as a single lease component. In addition, we do not recognize operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities for leases with lease terms of 12 months or less.
In addition, we sublease certain of our unoccupied facilities to third parties. We recognize sublease income on a straight-line basis over the sublease term.
We did not have any material finance leases during fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement s
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes . This guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in Topic 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates, and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill and the allocation of consolidated income taxes to separate financial statements of entities not subject to income tax. We early adopted this guidance on August 1, 2021, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . This ASU simplifies the measurement of goodwill by eliminating step two of the two-step impairment test. Step two measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. This ASU requires an entity to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. We adopted this guidance on February 1, 2021, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which provides new authoritative guidance with respect to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. This update changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments by introducing a current expected credit loss (CECL) model. The CECL model is a more forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses, requiring entities to estimate and record losses expected over the remaining contractual life of an asset. We adopted this guidance on February 1, 2021, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers . The new guidance requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606 as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. The guidance is effective for us on February 1, 2023. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity , which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Among other changes, ASU 2020-06 removes the liability and equity separation model for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature, and as a result, after adoption, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and convertible preferred stock will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and the inclusion of the effect of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares, except for certain liability-classified share-based payment awards. The guidance is effective for us on February 1, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Contract Balances
Contract assets consist of unbilled accounts receivable, which arise when a right to consideration for our performance under the customer contract occurs before invoicing the customer. The amount of unbilled accounts receivable included within accounts receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets was $ 1.5 million as of both January 31, 2022 and 2021.
Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, which represents invoices billed in advance of performance under a contract. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue over the contractual period. The deferred revenue balance was $ 262.0 million and $ 141.8 million as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We recognized revenue of $ 95.5 million, $ 53.8 million and $ 25.9 million for fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, that was included in the corresponding contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Our contracts with customers typically range from one to three years . Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents non-cancelable contract revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced in future periods.
As of January 31, 2022, our remaining performance obligations were $ 345.4 million, of which we expect to recognize 90 % as revenue over the next 24 months, with the remainder to be recognized thereafter.
We periodically review deferred contract acquisition costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could impact the period of benefit. We did no t recognize any impairment of deferred contract acquisition costs during fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020. .
4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We measure fair value based on a three-level hierarchy, maximizing the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs, as follows:
Level 1: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on observable inputs such as quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on inputs from quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the overall fair value measurement.

10. COMMON STOCK
We have two classes of common stock: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. In connection with the IPO, we amended and restated our certificate of incorporation and authorized 1,500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 300,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. The shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting rights. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to twenty votes. Class A and Class B common stock each have a par value of $ 0.0001 per share, and are referred to collectively as our common stock throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive any dividends as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors.
Shares of Class B common stock may be converted to Class A common stock at any time at the option of the stockholder. Shares of Class B common stock automatically convert to Class A common stock at the earlier of: (i) the date specified by a vote of the holders of 66 2/3% of the then outstanding shares of Class B common stock, (ii) seven years from the date of our Final Prospectus, or June 29, 2028, (iii) the first date following the completion of our IPO on which the number of shares of outstanding Class B common stock (such calculations shall include shares of Class B common stock subject to outstanding stock options) held by Tomer Weingarten, including certain permitted entities that Mr. Weingarten controls, is less than 25 % of the number of shares of outstanding Class B common stock (such calculation shall include shares of Class B common stock subject to outstanding stock options) that Mr. Weingarten originally held as of the date of our Final Prospectus, (iv) the date fixed by our board of directors, following the first date following the completion of our IPO when Mr. Weingarten is no longer providing services to us as an officer, employee, consultant or member of our board of directors, (v) the date fixed by our board of directors following the date on which, if applicable, Mr. Weingarten is terminated for cause, as defined in our restated certificate of incorporation, and (vi) the date that is 12 months after the death or disability, as defined in our restated certificate of incorporation, of Mr. Weingarten.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan
In May 2021, our board of directors and in June 2021, our stockholders approved our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (2021 Plan) as a successor to our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (2013 Plan) and 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (2011 Plan) with the purpose of granting stock-based awards to employees, directors, officers and consultants, including stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (RSUs). A total of 35,281,596 shares of Class A common stock were initially available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. Our compensation committee administers the 2021 Plan. The number of shares of our Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan is subject to an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning on February 1, 2022, equal to the lesser of: (i) five percent ( 5 %) of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of all classes of our common stock as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year or (ii) such other amount as our board of directors may determine.

2013 Equity Incentive Plan
Our 2013 Plan was adopted by our board of directors in June 2013 and approved by our stockholders in July 2013. The 2013 Plan provides for the grant of stock-based awards to employees, officers, directors, and other service providers.
Options granted under the 2013 Plan expire ten years from the date of grant. The options generally vest 25 % on the first anniversary of the grant date and monthly over the course of the following three years .

Performance Milestone Options
In February 2021, we granted 1,243,636 performance milestone options to purchase shares of common stock under the 2013 Plan. The performance milestone options are subject to service-based vesting conditions and achievements of certain milestones. We recognize compensation cost on a graded basis over the total requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the performance tranches related to these performance milestone options. The grant-date fair value of the performance milestone options was $ 10.25 , $ 10.37 , and $ 10.49 per share for each of the performance tranches using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We assess the probability that the performance condition will be met for each of the performance tranches at the end of each reporting period, and recognize cumulative expense only for the performance tranches that are assessed to be probable of vesting.
During fiscal 2022, we recorded $ 12.8 million of stock-based compensation expense. As of January 31, 2022, we had fully recognized stock-based compensation expense related to performance milestone options.
Milestone Options
In March 2021, we granted 1,404,605 options to purchase shares of common stock subject to service-based, performance-based, and market-based vesting conditions to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer under the 2013 Plan. These stock options will vest 100 % upon the occurrence of our IPO (the performance-based vesting condition) and the achievement of certain milestone events and our share price targets (the market-based vesting conditions), subject to the executive’s continued service to us from the grant date through the milestone events. For these options, we used a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value at the grant date and the implied service period.
During fiscal 2022, we recorded $ 3.1 million of stock-based compensation expense. As of January 31, 2022, we had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested milestone options of $ 16.3 million, that is expected to be recognized over the remaining implied service period of 4.6 years.
Restricted Common Stock
In connection with the Scalyr acquisition, we granted 1,315,099 shares of restricted common stock with a fair value of $ 14.59 per share at the time of grant, that vest over a period of two years . During fiscal 2022, we recorded $ 10.9 million of stock-based compensation expense. As of January 31, 2022, we had unrecognized stock-based

compensation expense related to this unvested restricted common stock of $ 8.7 million that is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period of 1.0 years.
2011 Stock Incentive Plan
As part of the Scalyr acquisition, we assumed 2,138,347 options to purchase shares of common stock under the 2011 Plan, at a weighted-average exercise price of $ 1.74 per share and weighted-average fair value of $ 13.10 per share, of which 681,332 options remained outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $ 1.72 per share as of January 31, 2022. As of January 31, 2022, 148,499 options were vested and exercisable with a weighted-average exercise price of $ 1.72 per share. The aggregate grant-date fair value of options vested during fiscal 2022 was $ 10.8 million. The total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to these options was $ 4.1 million, that is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years. During fiscal 2022, 1,386,381 options were exercised with an aggregate intrinsic value of $ 33.4 million.
Secondary Stock Sales
In May 2021, we facilitated a secondary sale of our common stock. Under the terms of the sale, certain preferred stock investors purchased 85,403 shares of common stock from an employee at $ 23.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $ 2.0 million. We did no t recognize any stock-based compensation expense during fiscal 2022 in connection with this sale.
In June 2021, we facilitated certain secondary sales of our common stock. Under the terms of the sales, certain preferred stock investors purchased 305,724 shares of common stock from certain employees at prices ranging from $ 21.00 to $ 52.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $ 8.7 million. The stock-based compensation expense recognized in connection with these sales were not material.
Common Stock Subject to Repurchase
Common stock purchased by employees pursuant to an early exercise of stock options are not deemed, for accounting purposes, to be outstanding until those shares vest according to their respective vesting schedules and accordingly, the consideration received for early exercises are initially recorded as a liability and reclassified to common stock and additional paid-in capital as the underlying awards vest. These unvested shares may be repurchased by us in case of employment termination at the price paid by the purchaser for such shares. As of January 31, 2022 and 2021, the balance of common stock subject to repurchase was not material.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
We estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions:
Expected term – We determine expected term based on the average period the options are expected to remain outstanding using the simplified method, calculated as the midpoint of the options’ vesting term and contractual expiration period, until sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior becomes available.
Expected volatility – Since there is little trading history of our common stock, expected volatility is estimated based on the historical volatilities of a group of comparable publicly traded companies.
Risk-free interest rate – The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields for a period that corresponds with the expected term of the award.
Dividend yield – As we do not currently issue dividends and do not expect to issue dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, the expected dividend yield is zero .
Fair value of underlying common stock – Prior to the completion of our IPO, the fair value of our common stock was determined by the board of directors by considering a number of objective and subjective factors

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In May 2021, our board of directors, and in June 2021, our stockholders approved our ESPP, which became effective on the date of effectiveness of our Final Prospectus, or June 29, 2021. The ESPP initially reserved and authorized the issuance of up to a total of 7,056,319 shares of common stock to eligible employees. The number of shares reserved for issuance and sale under the ESPP will automatically increase on the first day of each fiscal year, starting on February 1, 2022 for the first ten calendar years after the first offering date, in an amount equal to (i) 1 % of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of all class our common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) such other amount as the administrator of the ESPP may determine. The ESPP generally provides for six-month offering periods beginning January 6 and July 6 of each year, with each offering period consisting of single six-month purchase periods, except for the initial offering period which began on July 1, 2021, and will end on July 5, 2023 and the second offering period will begin on January 6, 2022. On each purchase date, eligible employees will purchase the shares at a price per share equal to 85 % of the lesser of (1) the fair market value of our common stock as of the beginning of the offering period or (2) the fair market value of our common stock on the purchase date, as defined in the ESPP except for the initial offering period that has a 24-months look back to the IPO price of $ 35 .

Based upon available objective evidence, we believe it is more likely than not that the net U.S. and Israel deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, we have established a valuation allowance for the U.S. and Israel gross deferred tax assets. As of January 31, 2022 and 2021, we had a valuation allowance of $ 219.0 million and $ 86.0 million, respectively, against our deferred tax assets. During fiscal 2022 and 2021, total valuation allowance increased by $ 132.9 million and $ 28.0 million, respectively, primarily due to additional net operating losses.
As of January 31, 2022, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $ 436.8 million, which will begin to expire in 2031, and state net operating loss carryforwards of $ 268.9 million, which will begin to expire in 2023. We also had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $ 281.9 million, which do not expire.
In addition, we had federal research and development credit carryforwards of $ 1.1 million, which will begin to expire in 2037, and state research and development credit carryforwards of $ 1.1 million, which do not expire.
Federal and state tax laws impose substantial restrictions on the utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards in the event of an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, our ability to utilize these carryforwards may be limited as a result of such ownership change. Such a limitation could result in the expiration of carryforwards before they are utilized. The carryforwards are currently subject to a valuation allowance.
Foreign withholding taxes have not been provided for the cumulative undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of us as of January 31, 2022 and 2021 due to our intention to permanently reinvest such earnings. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable.
As of January 31, 2022 and 2021, we do not have any material uncertain tax positions. As of and for fiscal 2022 and 2021, no interest and penalties have been accrued with respect to unrecognized tax benefits.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Our tax years generally remain open and subject to examination by federal, state, or foreign tax authorities. We are currently under examination by the Israel Tax Authorities for the 2016 through 2020 tax years. We are not currently under audit in any other tax jurisdictions.

13. NET LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents to the extent they are dilutive. For purposes of this calculation, redeemable convertible preferred stock, stock options, restricted common stocks, RSUs, ESPP, early exercised stock options, and common stock warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as their effect is anti-dilutive for all periods presented.
The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting, conversion, and transfer rights. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class of common stock and the resulting basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders are, therefore, the same for both Class A and Class B common stock on both individual and combined basis.
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Contingencies
From time to time, we may be a party to various legal proceedings and subject to claims in the ordinary course of business.
BlackBerry Litigation
Starting in October 2019, BlackBerry Corp. and its subsidiary Cylance, Inc. (BlackBerry) filed a total of nine proceedings ( seven lawsuits and two arbitrations) against us and certain former BlackBerry employees who joined our company. In these proceedings, BlackBerry alleges that it has viable legal claims as a result of its former employees joining us. Many of these proceedings have now been dismissed. The status of each of the currently pending proceedings is discussed below. We have defended against these claims and expect to continue to defend against these claims.
BlackBerry Corp., et al. v. Coulter, et al. On October 17, 2019, BlackBerry commenced an action captioned BlackBerry Corp., et al. v. Coulter, et al., No. 953-10-19 (Vt. Super. Ct.) (Vermont Action) against Chris Coulter, an employee on our Vigilance services team. On October 23, 2019, BlackBerry filed an amended complaint that added us as a defendant. The amended complaint asserts claims against us for conspiracy, tortious interference with contract, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duties, and misappropriation of trade secrets. The court entered a preliminary injunction order enjoining Mr. Coulter from working for us through February 2021. As a result of the court’s order, Mr. Coulter chose to seek other employment and is no longer employed by us. On January 15, 2021, the court entered an order narrowing the scope of the case and limiting the claims against us in order to avoid conflict with a similar action that was previously filed in California and was dismissed. The Vermont Action is currently pending. On October 25, 2019, BlackBerry commenced an action captioned BlackBerry Corp., et al v. Coulter, et al., No. 2019-0854-JTL (Del. Ch.) against Mr. Coulter and us in Delaware Chancery Court. The court stayed this case pending resolution of the Vermont Action, and on February 7, 2020, BlackBerry voluntarily dismissed without prejudice all claims against Mr. Coulter and us. On December 3, 2019, BlackBerry initiated a largely duplicative action in arbitration solely against Mr. Coulter administered by JAMS, an alternative dispute resolution provider. That arbitration action, however, was dismissed on or about March 30, 2021, with JAMS informing us that they had closed their files on this matter on April 30, 2021.
BlackBerry Corp., et al. v. Page, et al. On November 18, 2019, BlackBerry commenced an action captioned BlackBerry Corp., et al. v. Page, et al., No. 2019-CP-07-2552 (S.C. Cir. Ct.) against Barnaby Page, a go-to-market employee, and us, in a South Carolina state court. The complaint asserts claims against us for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duties, tortious interference with contract, and misappropriation of trade secrets. Following initial discovery, on August 27, 2020, we and Mr. Page filed a joint motion for judgment on the pleadings. Following initial discovery, the parties agreed to stipulate to a dismissal of this lawsuit without prejudice, and a dismissal order was entered by the court on January 31, 2022.

Blackberry Corp. et al. v. Sentinel Labs, Inc., et al. On January 16, 2020, BlackBerry commenced the action captioned, BlackBerry Corp., et al. v. Sentinel Labs, Inc., et al., No. 20CV361950 (Cal. Super. Ct. Santa Clara Cnty.) (Current California Action), against us and unnamed “Doe” defendants, asserting claims against us for trade secret misappropriation and unfair business practices. We filed counterclaims that, in part, seek to invalidate any agreements allegedly supporting BlackBerry’s claims against its former employees. On December 14, 2020, we filed a motion requesting that BlackBerry sufficiently identify any trade secrets it alleges we misappropriated in accordance with California law. On February 12, 2021, the court granted that motion in part, including striking BlackBerry’s expert testimony, and limiting the scope of discovery to customer lists and sales-related information. On March 15, 2021, BlackBerry re-filed a statement identifying its trade secrets to pursue broader claims and discovery. In response, on April 5, 2021, we again filed a motion requesting that BlackBerry sufficiently identify any trade secrets under California law. On June 2, 2021, the court granted the motion in our favor, absent a few discrete areas permitted by the court. On July 2, 2021, Blackberry filed its third amended trade secret identification. In response, on July 16, 2021, we submitted a motion challenging these claims. In its third trade secret statement, in response to our motion again challenging the sufficiency of its trade secret disclosures, Blackberry voluntarily dropped various claims. The parties are currently in the early stages of discovery over the revised trade secret disclosures approved by the court on August 31, 2021. We continue to litigate this action, including actively pursuing our counterclaims against them.
BlackBerry Corp., et al. v. Quinn, et al. On February 17, 2020, BlackBerry commenced the action captioned BlackBerry Corp., et al. v. Quinn, et al., No. D-1-GN-20-00096 (Tex. Civ. Ct. – Travis Cnty.) against Sean Quinn, a go-to-market employee, and us, in Texas state court. On August 8, 2020, we and Mr. Quinn moved to stay or dismiss the case in light of the overlapping issues between this case and the Current California Action. On September 21, 2020, the court stayed this case pending resolution of the Current California Action. This lawsuit remains stayed and is pending in abeyance before the Texas court.
We have not recorded any accruals for loss contingencies associated with these legal proceedings, determined that an unfavorable outcome is probable, nor have we determined that the amount or range of any possible loss is reasonably estimable. We believe that there are no other pending or threatened legal proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Warranties and Indemnification
Our services are generally warranted to deliver and operate in a manner consistent with general industry standards that are reasonably applicable and materially conform with our documentation under normal use and circumstances. Our contracts generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if our products or services infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights.
We also offer a limited warranty to certain customers, subject to certain conditions, to cover certain costs incurred by the customer in case of a cybersecurity breach on us. We have entered into an insurance policy to cover our potential liability arising from this limited warranty arrangement. We have not incurred any material costs related to such obligations and have not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the consolidated financial statements as of January 31, 2022 and 2021.
In addition, we also indemnify certain of our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities that may arise while they are serving in good faith in their company capacities. We maintain director and officer insurance coverage that would generally enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.
16. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
Our U.S. employees participate in a 401(k) defined contribution plan sponsored by us. Contributions to the plan are discretionary. There were no matching contributions by us for fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020.

Israeli Severance Pay
Israeli labor law generally requires payment of severance pay upon dismissal of an employee or upon termination of employment in certain other circumstances. Pursuant to Section 14 of the Severance Compensation Act, 1963 (Section 14), all of our employees in Israel are entitled to monthly deposits made in their name with insurance companies, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary.
These payments release us from any future severance payment obligation with respect to these employees; as such, any liability for severance pay due to these employees and the deposits under Section 14 are not recorded as an asset on our consolidated balance sheets. For fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, we recorded $ 3.7 million, $ 2.7 million, and $ 1.7 million, respectively, in severance expenses related to these employees.
17. ACQUISITIONS
On February 6, 2021, we executed a merger agreement to acquire 100 % of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Scalyr, a leading cloud-native, cloud-scale data analytics platform. This acquisition allows us to advance our data ingestion, search, and retention capabilities. This acquisition closed on February 9, 2021. The aggregate consideration transferred was $ 125.3 million, of which $ 5.0 million was paid in cash, $ 106.2 million was comprised of 7,277,214 shares of common stock, and $ 14.1 million was comprised of assumed options to purchase 2,138,347 shares of common stock. As part of the merger agreement, we entered into non-compete agreements with the founder and the co-founder of Scalyr with a term of three years and a fair value of $ 0.7 million. The fair value of the non-compete agreements was excluded from the purchase consideration and the net assets acquired, resulting in purchase consideration of $ 124.6 million.
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition were recorded at their fair value on the date of acquisition as follows (in thousands):
Amount
Cash and cash equivalents $ 699
Accounts receivable 3,665
Restricted cash 444
Prepaid expense 277
Intangible assets 17,150
Goodwill 108,193
Accounts payable ( 412 )
Deferred revenue ( 5,041 )
Other liabilities ( 347 )
Total purchase consideration $ 124,628
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired has been assigned to goodwill. Goodwill represents the future benefits as a result of the acquisition that will enhance our product available to both new and existing customers and increase our competitive position. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The following table sets forth the amounts allocated to the intangible assets identified and their estimated useful lives as of the date of acquisition:
Fair Value Useful Life
(in thousands) (in years)
Developed technology $ 15,500 7
Customer relationships 1,500 2
Trademarks 150 2
Total intangible assets acquired $ 17,150
The fair value assigned to the developed technology was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method of the income approach. The fair value assigned to the customer relationships was determined using the distributor method under the income approach, which includes estimates of customer attrition rates. The intangible assets acquired are expected to be amortized over their useful lives on a straight-line basis.
As part of the consideration transferred, we withheld 1,317,079 shares of our common stock with a fair value of $ 14.59 per share at the time of grant (Holdback Shares) and $ 0.4 million of cash related to certain obligations, including indemnification for potential breach of general representations and warranties of the sellers. The Holdback Shares and cash are expected to be released 18 months from the acquisition closing date, subject to claims for any obligations.
In connection with the acquisition, we granted 1,315,099 shares of restricted common stock that vest over a period of two years contingent on continued employment, for which stock-based compensation expense will be recognized ratably over the vesting period.
There was no other contingent consideration or cash consideration expected to be paid out subsequent to the acquisition. The results of operations of Scalyr have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
We incurred $ 1.4 million of transaction costs in connection with the acquisition during fiscal 2022. These costs were recorded as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information summarizes the results of operations of SentinelOne and Scalyr as if the acquisition occurred on February 1, 2020 (in thousands):
Year Ended January 31,
2022 2021
Revenue $ 204,874 $ 101,875
Net loss $ ( 262,145 ) $ ( 171,321 )
Our consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date to the period ended January 31, 2022 includes revenue and net income of Scalyr of $ 13.4 million and $ 0.2 million, respectively. The pro forma results reflect certain adjustments for the amortization of acquired intangible assets, adjustments to revenue resulting from the fair value adjustment to deferred revenue, recognition of stock-based compensation, and acquisition-related costs. Such pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisition been completed on the date indicated, nor is it indicative of our future operating results.
18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 15, 2022, we signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire 100 % of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Attivo Networks, Inc. (Attivo), a leading identity security and lateral movement protection company. The aggregate consideration will be approximately 58 % cash and approximately 42 % in shares of our Class A common stock for a total consideration of $ 616.5 million, subject to adjustments. The number of shares to be issued in connection with the stock consideration will be based on a fixed value of $ 40.49 per share, which
