REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the stockholders 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, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2025, 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, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 26, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
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 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. 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.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Revenue Recognition — Refer to Notes 2 and 3 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company generates most of its revenue by selling subscriptions to its Singularity Platform. This includes subscription, premium support and maintenance, and other Singularity Modules, which are distinct performance obligations and are recognized (i) ratably over the subscription term as the performance obligations are satisfied, (ii) based on transaction volume, or (iii) based on certain usage-based measures. To determine the amount and pattern of revenue recognition, management identifies and evaluates the relevant contractual terms in its customer contracts based on its accounting policy (collectively “contract terms and conditions”).
83
Table of Contents
Given the significance of the proper identification and evaluation of contract terms and conditions to the amount and pattern of revenue recognition, performing audit procedures to evaluate whether management properly identified the relevant contract terms and conditions that impact the amount and pattern of revenue recognition required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the evaluation of management’s identification of the relevant contract terms and conditions that impact the amount and pattern of revenue recognition included the following, among others:
• We assessed management’s significant accounting policies related to revenue recognition for compliance with Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers .
• We selected a sample of recorded revenue transactions and contracts entered during the year and performed the following procedures:
◦ Obtained and read customer source documents and the contract, including master agreements and related amendments, to evaluate if relevant contract terms and conditions have been appropriately identified by management.
◦ Evaluated the appropriateness of management’s determination of the impact of those terms and conditions on the amount and pattern of revenue recognition.

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business
SentinelOne, Inc. (SentinelOne, the Company, we, our, or us) was incorporated in January 2013 in the State of Delaware. 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.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (U.S.). 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 2025, 2024 and 2023 refer to the fiscal years ended January 31, 2025, January 31, 2024 and January 31, 2023, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
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, stock-based compensation, the period of benefit for deferred contract acquisition costs, useful lives of long-lived assets and intangibles, the valuation of intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, and accounting for income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 is regularly provided with financial information on a consolidated basis as reported in our consolidated statements of operations. Our CODM uses consolidated net loss to assess financial performance and allocate resources. This financial metric is used by the CODM to make key operating decisions, such as the determination of the rate at which we seek to grow global operating margin and the allocation of budget between various departments. For information regarding our revenue and long-lived assets by geography, see Note 3, Revenue and Contract Balances, and Note 14, Geographic Information, respectively.
Foreign Currency
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 In fiscal 2025 and 2023, we recorded $ 1.2 million and $ 2.1 million, respectively, in foreign currency transaction losses. In fiscal 2024, we recorded $ 0.1 million in foreign currency transaction gains.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers .
Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of the 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 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.
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 2025, 2024 and 2023.
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 standalone selling price (SSP). Certain arrangements include variable consideration that is typically a function of transaction volume or another usage-based measure. Depending upon the structure of a particular arrangement, we
91
Table of Contents
SENTINELONE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
may allocate the variable amount to each distinct service period within the series (i.e., direct allocation).
(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 most of our revenue by selling 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.
Certain arrangements include variable consideration related either to transaction volume or another usage-based measure. Depending upon the structure of a particular arrangement, we (i) recognize revenue as each distinct service period is performed, (ii) recognize the estimate of variable consideration ratably over the period to which it relates, or (iii) apply the ‘right to invoice’ practical expedient and recognize revenue based on the amount invoiced to the customer during the period.
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.
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 acquired intangible assets, amortization of capitalized internal-use software, software and subscription services used by our customer support and services team, inventory-related costs, and allocated facilities and IT 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-
92
Table of Contents
SENTINELONE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
party cloud infrastructure expenses incurred in developing our platform and modules, and allocated facilities and IT 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 $ 23.8 million, $ 18.5 million, and $ 12.3 million for fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based awards issued to employees, directors, and non-employee consultants 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 service-based vesting conditions and performance-based vesting conditions. For these awards, we recognize stock-based compensation expense on a graded basis over the total requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of performance tranches where it is probable that the performance-based vesting conditions will be achieved.
We also granted stock option awards with service-based, performance-based, and market-based vesting conditions to certain executives. 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 U.S. 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 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.
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 income tax expense 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 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 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 may consist of amounts invested in money market funds, U.S. treasury securities, commercial paper and certificates of deposit. Restricted cash consists of indemnity escrow funds related to acquisitions, and 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,
2025 2024
Cash and cash equivalents $ 186,574 $ 256,651
Restricted cash, current 3,244 61,264
Restricted cash, non-current 3,484 4,171
$ 193,302 $ 322,086
Investments
We determine the appropriate classification of our investments at the time of purchase and reevaluate such determination at each balance sheet date. Investments not considered cash equivalents, and with maturities of one year or less from the consolidated balance sheet date, are classified as short-term investments. Investments with maturities greater than one year from the consolidated balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments. We classify our investments as available-for-sale securities. Our investments are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, if any, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). When evaluating whether an investment's unrealized losses are related to credit factors, we review factors such as the extent to which fair value is below its cost basis, any changes to the credit rating of the security, adverse conditions specifically related to the security, changes in market interest rates and our intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell, before recovery of cost basis. We invest in highly rated securities with a weighted average maturity of 18 months or less. In addition, our investment policy limits the amount of our credit exposure to any one issuer and requires investments to be investment grade, with the primary objective of preserving capital and maintaining liquidity. Fair values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio.
We did not identify any credit losses on investments as of January 31, 2025 and 2024. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined on a specific identification method and are recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments during fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023 were not significant.
Strategic Investments
Our strategic investments consist of non-marketable equity and debt investments in privately held companies. We elect to apply the measurement alternative and record non-marketable equity 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 long-term investments on our consolidated balance sheets and adjustments to their carrying amounts are recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Receivables related to strategic investments are classified as prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

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 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, investments, and accounts receivable. We maintain our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and 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 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.
Channel partners that represented 10% or more of accounts receivable, net for the periods presented were as follows:

There were no end customers that represented 10% or more of total revenue for fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023.
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. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance was $ 0.3 million and $ 0.7 million as of January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Deferred Contract Acquisition Costs
We capitalize sales commissions and associated payroll taxes, and certain incentives (such as referral fees) paid to partners, that are incremental to obtaining a customer contract, which are recorded as deferred contract acquisition
95

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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, including certain incentives paid to partners, 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 average 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 2025, 2024 and 2023.
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 estimated 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 assets 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. In fiscal 2024, we recorded a $ 2.4 million impairment loss related to our excess facilities. No impairment loss was recorded during fiscal 2025 and 2023.
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 2025, 2024 and 2023.

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, forecasted revenue, 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 4, Acquisitions, for additional information regarding our acquisitions.
Leases
In accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases , 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, comprised of 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 incremental borrowing rate 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 2025, 2024 and 2023.

No single country other than the U.S. represented 10% or more of our revenue during fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Substantially all of our sales are fulfilled through channel partners, including distributors, resellers, managed security service providers, and others.
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 $ 5.5 million and $ 3.8 million as of January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
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 $ 572.1 million and $ 514.5 million as of January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We recognized revenue of $ 402.2 million, $ 305.7 million and $ 195.9 million for fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, that was included in the corresponding contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.
For consumption and usage-based contracts with non-cancelable commitments, remaining performance obligations are determined based on the ratable recognition of the remaining commitment over the remaining contract term. The amount and timing of revenue recognition are generally dependent on customers’ future consumption, which is inherently variable at the customers’ discretion.
As of January 31, 2025, our remaining performance obligations were $ 1,169.1 million, of which we expect to recognize 85 % as revenue over the next 24 months following January 31, 2025, with the remainder to be recognized thereafter.
Capitalized contract costs were $ 150.1 million and $ 125.8 million as of January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Amortization expense of contract costs was $ 66.6 million, $ 48.7 million, and $ 36.4 million for fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 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 not recognize any impairment of deferred contract acquisition costs during fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023.
ACQUISITIONS
Fiscal 2025 Acquisitions
PingSafe
On February 1, 2024, we completed our acquisition of PingSafe Pte. Ltd. (PingSafe) to provide customers with a fully integrated platform that drives better automation across their entire cloud footprint. We acquired 100 % of the shares of PingSafe for total consideration of approximately $ 59.2 million in cash and 2,354,607 shares of our Class A common stock. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC Topic 805).
The purchase price of the acquisition amounted to $ 83.0 million, which was primarily allocated to intangible assets of $ 11.3 million and goodwill of $ 72.9 million. We had post-combination expense with a fair value of $ 46.9 million that was not included in the purchase price for the acquisition, which is comprised of 1,497,212 shares of restricted common stock with an aggregate fair value of $ 41.2 million, and 214,976 assumed options with an aggregate fair value of $ 5.7 million of post-combination expense and $ 0.2 million included in the purchase price. Restricted common stock and assumed options will be recognized as stock-based compensation expense. All post-combination expense is expected to be recognized through February 2028. Post-combination compensation expense is subject to adjustment based on continuing service obligations to us of certain stockholders of PingSafe.
In connection with the acquisition of PingSafe, we also granted restricted stock units (RSUs) under our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. For further details refer to Note 10, Stock-Based Compensation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The purchase price of the acquisition amounted to $ 7.5 million, which was primarily allocated to developed technology of $ 0.4 million and goodwill of $ 7.3 million. 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. Developed technology will be amortized to cost of revenue on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of five years .
Additional Acquisition-related Information
We incurred $ 2.1 million and $ 0.6 million of transaction expenses related to the PingSafe and Stride acquisitions, respectively. The costs were recorded as general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.
The goodwill acquired in both acquisitions are not tax deductible in local jurisdictions. The results of operations of PingSafe and Stride have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of each acquisition and would not have had a material impact on our combined results of operations if the acquisitions had occurred on February 1, 2023.
The pro forma impact of the PingSafe and Stride business combinations during the fiscal 2025 was not material to our historical consolidated operating results and is therefore not presented, except for stock-based compensation expense related to restricted common stock issued in connection with the acquisition of PingSafe as disclosed in Note 10, Stock-Based Compensation. During fiscal 2025, we recorded $ 16.2 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the PingSafe acquisition.
Fiscal 2024 Acquisition
KSG
On November 8, 2023, we completed our acquisition of Krebs Stamos Group LLC (KSG), a Washington D.C.-based privately held strategic advisory group. The purchase price of $ 13.9 million for all of the outstanding membership interests of KSG consisted of all cash and has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805.
We recorded $ 4.8 million of net identifiable assets in our consolidated balance sheet as of the KSG acquisition date, of which $ 3.2 million was related to intangible assets. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired has been assigned to goodwill in the amount of $ 9.1 million. The goodwill in this transaction is primarily attributable to expected operational synergies and the assembled workforce. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, which will be amortized to sales and marketing expense on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of four years . The results of operations of KSG have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, and would not have had a material impact on our combined results of operation if the acquisition had occurred on February 1, 2022.
In connection with the acquisition, we also granted performance stock units (PSUs) under our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, which were later canceled and exchanged for RSUs in fiscal 2025. For further details, refer to Note 10, Stock-Based Compensation. As the shares are subject to post-acquisition employment, we are accounting for them as post-acquisition compensation expense.
Fiscal 2023 Acquisition
Attivo
On May 3, 2022, we acquired 100 % of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Attivo Networks, Inc. (Attivo), an identity security and lateral movement protection company (the Attivo acquisition). Attivo expands our coverage of critical attack surfaces. Identity is an adjacent security solution that complements our core endpoint solution. The Attivo acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805.

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.

There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023. As of January 31, 2025, all of our investments will mature within two years .
As of January 31, 2025, we determined that the declines in the market value of our investment portfolio were not driven by credit related factors. During fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, we did not recognize any losses on our investments due to credit related factors. As of January 31, 2025, we had $ 1.2 million in continuous unrealized loss positions for more than twelve months on securities with a total fair value of $ 15.0 million.
The tables above do not include the Company’s strategic investments in non-marketable debt and equity securities, which are recorded at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer and were $ 23.2 million and $ 16.1 million as of January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
During fiscal 2025 and 2023, the Company incurred no impairment charges on its non-marketable strategic investments. During fiscal 2024, the Company incurred impairment charges on its non-marketable strategic investments of $ 0.8 million. During fiscal 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized realized gains of $ 0.3 million and $ 3.5 million, respectively, and on its non-marketable strategic investments. No realized gains were recognized during fiscal 2023. Impairment charges and realized gains on strategic investments were recognized in other income (expense), net.

9. COMMON STOCK
We have two classes of common stock: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. In connection with our 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 prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act (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). The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to grant stock-based awards to employees, directors, officers and consultants, including stock options, restricted stock awards, RSUs, and PSUs. 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.
The 2013 Plan and 2011 Plan (together, the Prior Plans) were terminated in June 2021, in connection with the adoption of our 2021 Plan, and stock-based awards are no longer granted under the Prior Plans. However, the Prior Plans will continue to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards previously granted thereunder. Any shares underlying stock options that are expired, canceled, forfeited, or repurchased under the Prior Plans will be automatically transferred to the 2021 Plan and be available for issuance as Class A common stock.

The financial performance metrics were not achieved and were cancelled during fiscal 2025. As such, we have not recorded any stock-based compensation expense and have no unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to these PSUs.
In November 2023, we granted 312,686 PSUs with a grant date fair value of $ 5.4 million subject to service-based and performance-based vesting conditions to retain the services of certain former KSG employees (such PSUs, the Original PSUs). During fiscal 2025, we cancelled the Original PSUs. In exchange for the cancelled Original PSUs, the employees were granted RSUs subject to only service-based vesting conditions.

As of January 31, 2025, we had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested options of $ 23.3 million that is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 1.34 years.
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 former Chief Financial Officer under the 2013 Plan. These stock options will vest 100 % upon the occurrence of (i) our IPO (the performance-based vesting condition), which was completed in June 2021, and (ii) the achievement of a certain market capitalization target (the market-based vesting condition), subject to the executive’s continued service to us from the grant date through the milestone event. During fiscal 2025, our former Chief Financial Officer's employment was terminated, resulting in the cancellation of certain milestone options. As of January 31, 2025, the market capitalization target has not yet been achieved, and therefore, these milestone options remain unvested. For these options, we used a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value at the grant date and the implied service period.
We recorded stock-based compensation expense related to these milestone options of $ 2.6 million, $ 3.6 million, and $ 3.6 million during fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As of January 31, 2025, we had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested milestone options of $ 5.2 million, that is expected to be recognized over the remaining implied service period of 1.56 years.
Restricted Common Stock
In connection with the acquisition of PingSafe, we issued 1,497,212 shares of restricted Class A common stock. We recorded stock-based compensation expense related to these restricted shares of $ 13.7 million in fiscal 2025. As of January 31, 2025, we had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to this unvested restricted common stock of $ 27.5 million that is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 0.75 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
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 a single six-month purchase period, except for the initial offering period which began on July 1, 2021, and ended on July 5, 2023. On each purchase date, eligible employees will purchase the shares at a price per share equal to 85 % of the lesser of (i) the fair market value of our common stock as of the beginning of the offering period or (ii) the fair market value of our common stock on the purchase date, as defined in the ESPP, except for the initial offering period that had a 24-month look back to the IPO price of $ 35 .
The following table summarizes the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of employee stock purchase rights using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the periods presented:

We recognized stock-based compensation expense related to ESPP of $ 8.7 million, $ 11.7 million, and $ 12.7 million during fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Modifications & Accelerations
During fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, certain members of our management team converted to non-employee consultants or to positions that no longer provide substantive service to the Company (Management Transitions). These Management Transitions have been accounted for as modifications or accelerations, under which the exercise period of certain vested awards has been extended, and a certain number of unvested awards will vest through the end of the agreements entered into in connection with the Management Transitions.
During fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recognized incremental and accelerated charges of $ 9.7 million, $ 6.2 million and $ 4.5 million, respectively, related to the Management Transitions.
11. RESTRUCTURING
In June 2023, we announced a restructuring plan (Plan) as a result of a review of current strategic priorities, resource allocation, and cost reduction intended to reduce operating costs, improve operating margins and continue advancing our ongoing commitment to profitable growth. The Plan includes a reduction of our workforce by approximately 5 %, or approximately 100 full-time employees. We incurred approximately $ 7.4 million in charges in connection with the Plan in fiscal 2024, consisting of $ 5.4 million in charges related to severance payments and employee benefits, $ 2.4 million of impairment charges related to excess facilities, $ 0.7 million related to inventory write-offs, offset partially by $ 1.1 million in savings related to the reversal of certain stock-based compensation expense. Note that the charges related to inventory write-offs were recognized as cost of revenue and not

Based upon available objective evidence, we believe it is more likely than not that the U.S. and Israel net 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, 2025 and 2024, we had a valuation allowance of $ 382.0 million and $ 341.0 million, respectively, against our deferred tax assets. During fiscal 2025 and 2024, total valuation allowance increased by $ 41.0 million and $ 49.2 million, respectively, primarily due to additional net operating losses and capitalized research and development.
As of January 31, 2025, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $ 772.4 million, which will begin to expire in 2031, and state net operating loss carryforwards of $ 447.9 million, which will begin to expire in 2027. We also had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $ 93.3 million, which do not expire.
In addition, we had federal research and development credit carryforwards of $ 9.9 million, which will begin to expire in 2037, and state research and development credit carryforwards of $ 4.3 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 ours as of January 31, 2025 and 2024 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.
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 2017 through 2021 tax years. We are not currently under audit in any other tax jurisdictions.
The changes in the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits consisted of the following (in thousands):

We recognize interests and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. We do not anticipate that its total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change during the next 12 months.
The Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) introduced Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Pillar Two rules that impose a global minimum tax rate of 15% on multi-national corporations. The rules are effective for the Company’s financial year beginning February 1, 2024. Numerous countries have enacted or substantively enacted legislation to implement these rules. While we did not have an impact from Pillar Two on our tax provision or effective tax rate as of the year ended January 31, 2025, we continue to monitor evolving Pillar Two and other tax legislation in the jurisdictions in which we operate.
In 2022, we began negotiating a bilateral Advance Pricing Agreement (APA) with the United States Internal Revenue Service and the Israeli Tax Authorities (ITA), covering various transfer pricing matters for intercompany transactions, with the primary issue relating to the valuation of the intergroup utilization of our Israeli subsidiary’s intellectual property. The proposed APA would cover our fiscal years ended or ending January 31, 2022 through January 31, 2026. An APA, if obtained, would provide us with a more predictable future business operating model, ensure certainty to timing and amounts of cash tax payments, and preclude the relevant tax authorities from making certain transfer pricing adjustments within the scope of these agreements. While this effort is ongoing, the process of negotiating has been lengthy and may take more time to resolve. As of January 31, 2025, the APA remains an ongoing process with no framework for a settlement or resolution yet to be finalized. By its nature, a concluded APA is a tri-party agreement between the two competent tax authorities and the taxpayer, and therefore, a successful resolution of such requires compromise by all three parties in order to achieve such aforementioned certainty and conclusion, and accordingly there can be no assurance that the APA process will be successful. Alternatively, the APA process could be terminated without an agreed upon resolution. In such case, the ITA may initiate an audit of these agreements and transactions, the result of which could be a potential tax assessment. In this case, we intend to exhaust all administrative and judicial remedies necessary to resolve the matter, as necessary, which could be another lengthy process.
We believe that the tax positions we have taken on our Israeli filed tax returns related to these intercompany transactions are sustainable and meet the more likely than not criteria for recognition and measurement, prescribed by ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes . We believe that our transfer pricing for these intercompany transactions are on arm’s-length terms, our assumptions, judgements, and estimates are reasonable, and the transactions are characterized appropriately based upon U.S. and OECD guidance and Israeli law. As such, we have not recorded any reserves for this matter as of January 31, 2025. There can be no assurance that this matter will be resolved in our favor, and any taxes, penalties, settlements or adverse judgments relating to this matter could materially and adversely impact our business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flows.
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, stock options, restricted common stock, RSUs, PSUs, shares purchased pursuant to our ESPP, and early exercised stock options 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 an 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.
Securities Litigation
On June 6, 2023, a securities class action was filed against us, our Chief Executive Officer and our former Chief Financial Officer, in the Northern District of California, captioned Johansson v. SentinelOne, Inc., Case No. 4:23-cv-02786. The suit is brought on behalf of an alleged class of stockholders who purchased or acquired shares of the Company’s Class A common stock between June 1, 2022 and June 1, 2023. The complaint alleged that defendants made false or misleading statements about our business, operations and prospects, including its annual recurring revenues and internal controls, and purports to assert claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). A substantially similar suit was filed on June 16, 2023 in the same court against the same defendants asserting the same claims, captioned Nyren v. SentinelOne, Inc., Case No. 4:23-cv-02982. On October 4, 2023, the court issued an order consolidating both cases under the caption In re SentinelOne, Inc. Securities Litigation Case No. 4:23-cv-02786 and appointing a lead plaintiff. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint. On July 2, 2024, the District Court granted defendants’ motion, dismissing the consolidated complaint with leave for plaintiff to amend the complaint. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on August 1, 2024. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on September 16, 2024. The motion has been fully briefed and the court has not yet ruled on the motion. We believe the case is without merit and defendants intend to defend the suit vigorously.
Derivative Litigation
On January 10, 2024, Plaintiff Walter Stochevski, derivatively on behalf of SentinelOne, filed a shareholder derivative complaint against SentinelOne and certain of its current and former directors and officers in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, which was subsequently transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges claims based on events similar to those in the securities class action and asserts causes of action against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, and for making false and misleading statements about our business, operations, and prospects in violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act. This matter has been consolidated with Newman , below, under the caption In re SentinelOne, Inc. Stockholder Derivative Litigation, Case No. 4:24-cv-01934, and both matters are stayed.
On March 29, 2024, Plaintiff Joel Newman, derivatively on behalf of SentinelOne, filed a shareholder derivative complaint against SentinelOne and certain of its current and former directors and officers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging claims based on events similar to those in the securities class action and the Stochevski action, above, and asserting causes of action against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and control person claims under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. This matter has been consolidated with Stochevski , above, under the caption In re SentinelOne, Inc. Stockholder Derivative Litigation, Case No. 4:24-cv-01934, and both matters are stayed.
Fortis Litigation
In September 2023, Fortis Advisors LLC (Fortis), in its capacity as the representative for the stockholders of Attivo, filed an action against the Company in Delaware Chancery Court asserting claims arising out of the Attivo Acquisition. The case is captioned Fortis Advisors LLC v. SentinelOne, Inc., Case No. 2023-0946-VLM.
In June 2023, the Company sent a letter to Fortis seeking indemnification for certain claims, including for breaches by Attivo of its representations and warranties in the merger agreement. In its complaint, Fortis sought a declaratory judgment that the Company was not entitled to indemnification for the claims it had asserted, and that Fortis should recover the funds held in escrow. Fortis also alleged that the Company breached its representations and warranties in
117

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
the merger agreement because its SEC filings allegedly contained materially false or misleading statements about the Company’s annualized recurring revenues. The Company believes Fortis’ claims were without merit. On November 3, 2023, the Company filed its answer to Fortis’ complaint. On the same day, the Company filed counterclaims against Fortis, in its capacity as the representative of the stockholders of Attivo, based on Attivo’s breach of several of its representations, warranties and covenants in the merger agreement. The Company’s counterclaims sought an order directing Fortis to comply with its contractual obligations to release funds set aside to indemnify the Company for its losses and any additional damages in excess of the indemnity fund. In November 2024, the action was voluntarily dismissed by both parties after a confidential settlement was reached.
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. We have a cybersecurity liability policy that may cover our customers’ actual damages. We have not incurred any material costs related to such obligations and have not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the consolidated balance sheets as of January 31, 2025 and 2024.
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 liability 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. We made $ 2.7 million, $ 2.6 million and $ 2.8 million in matching contributions for fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
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 2025, 2024, and 2023, we recorded $ 3.4 million, $ 3.5 million, and $ 3.9 million, respectively, in severance expenses related to these employees.
