SECUREWORKS CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of the Business
SecureWorks Corp. (individually and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Secureworks" or the "Company") is a leading global provider of intelligence-driven information security solutions singularly focused on protecting the Company's customers from cyber attacks.
On April 27, 2016, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO"). Upon the closing of the IPO, Dell Technologies Inc. ("Dell Technologies"), a parent holding corporation, owned, indirectly through Dell Inc. (individually and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Dell") and Dell Inc.'s subsidiaries, no shares of the Company's outstanding Class A common stock and all outstanding shares of the Company's outstanding Class B common stock, which as of May 3, 2019 represented approximately 85.9% of the Company's total outstanding shares of common stock and approximately 98.4% of the combined voting power of both classes of the Company's outstanding common stock.
The Company has one primary business activity, which is to provide customers with intelligence-driven information security solutions. The Company's chief operating decision maker, who is the President and Chief Executive Officer, makes operating decisions, assesses performance, and allocates resources on a consolidated basis. There are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations and operating results below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, Secureworks operates its business as a single reportable segment.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company's financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
For the periods presented, Dell has provided various corporate services to the Company in the ordinary course of business, including finance, tax, human resources, legal, insurance, IT, procurement and facilities-related services. The costs of these services are charged in accordance with a shared services agreement that went into effect on August 1, 2015. For more information regarding the charges for these services and related party transactions, see "Note 11—Related Party Transactions."
During the periods presented in the financial statements, Secureworks did not file separate federal tax returns, as the Company is generally included in the tax grouping of other Dell entities within the respective entity's tax jurisdiction. The income tax benefit has been calculated using the separate return method, modified to apply the benefits for loss approach. Under the benefits for loss approach, net operating losses or other tax attributes are characterized as realized or as realizable by Secureworks when those attributes are utilized or expected to be utilized by other members of the Dell consolidated group. See "Note 10—Income and Other Taxes" for more information.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals and disclosures considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended February 1, 2019 included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2019 (the "Annual Report").
Fiscal Year
The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Friday closest to January 31. The Company refers to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020 and the fiscal year ended February 1, 2019 as fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively. Both fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 have 52 weeks, and each quarter has 13 weeks.

SECUREWORKS CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, estimates are used when accounting for revenue arrangements, determining the cost of revenue, allocating costs and estimating the impact of contingencies. In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, estimates are used in determining the valuation and recoverability of assets, such as accounts receivables, inventories, fixed assets, goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets, and estimates are used in determining the reported amounts of liabilities, such as taxes payable and the impact of contingencies, all of which also impact the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Leases—The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," effective February 2, 2019. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842 "Leases" requires lessees to recognize operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, representing their right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. The guidance also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective method and utilized the optional transition method under which the Company will continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative period presented. In addition, Secureworks elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which permits the following: a) carry forward the historical lease classification, b) not separate lease components from non-lease components within the Company's facility lease contracts, c) not present comparative periods but rather record a cumulative catch-up during fiscal 2020, and d) allow the Company to elect, by asset class, not to record on the balance sheet a lease whose term is twelve months or less including reasonably certain renewal options. As a result of the adoption for the fiscal year beginning February 2, 2019, the Company recorded initial operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, all related to real estate, of $28.0 million and $31.8 million, respectively.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Except for the accounting policies for leases, updated as a result of adopting ASC 842, there have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the three months ended May 3, 2019, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report.
Leases—The Company determines if any arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception based on whether or not the Company has the right to control the asset during the contract period and other facts and circumstances. Secureworks is the lessee in a lease contract when the Company obtains the right to control the asset. Operating leases are included in the line items operating lease right-of-use assets, net; accrued and other; and operating lease liabilities, non-current in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company determines the lease term by assuming the exercise of renewal options that are reasonably certain. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, Secureworks uses the Company's incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. When the Company's contracts contain lease and nonlease components, the Company accounts for both components as a single lease component. Refer to "Note 7 —Leases" for further discussion.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software—In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in such cloud computing arrangements with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The updated guidance is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning in the Company's 2021 fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. Entities may choose to adopt the new guidance prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other—In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test,

SECUREWORKS CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

which required the Company to determine the implied fair value of goodwill by allocating the reporting unit's fair value to each of its assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit was acquired in a business acquisition. Instead, the updated guidance requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, and recognizing a non-cash impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, with the loss not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The updated guidance is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning in the Company's 2021 fiscal year, with early adoption permitted, and will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses—In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." The amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The update is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning with the Company's 2021 fiscal year, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 — LOSS PER SHARE
Loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss for the periods presented by the respective weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, and excludes any share-based awards that may be anti-dilutive. Diluted loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares, including common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and unvested restricted common stock and restricted stock units. The Company applies the two-class method to calculate earnings per share. Because the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock share the same rights in dividends and earnings, earnings per share (basic and diluted) are the same for both classes. Since losses were incurred in all periods presented, all potential common shares were determined to be anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of loss per common share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

NOTE 3 — CONTRACT BALANCES AND CONTRACT COSTS

Promises to provide services related to the Company's managed security subscription-based solutions are accounted for as a single performance obligation over an average period of two years. Performance obligations related to the Company's security and risk consulting professional service contracts are separate obligations associated with each service. Although the Company has many multi-year customer relationships for its various professional services, the arrangement is typically structured as separate performance obligations over the contract period and recognized over a duration of less than one year.

Deferred revenue represents the aggregate amount of billing in advance of service delivery. Therefore, the Company invoices its customers based on a variety of billing schedules. The deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, non-cancelable subscription agreements. During the three months ended May 3, 2019, on average, approximately half of the Company's recurring revenue was billed in advance. In addition, many of the Company's professional services engagements are billed in advance of service commencement. The deferred revenue balance is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the compounding effects of renewals, invoice duration and invoice timing.

Changes to the Company's deferred revenue during the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018 are as follows (in thousands):

* Certain prior period amounts have been adjusted as a result of the adoption of the accounting standard for revenue recognition set forth in ASC 606.
Remaining Performance Obligation
The remaining performance obligation represents the transaction price allocated to contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and non-cancellable contracts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. The remaining performance obligation consists of two elements: (i) the value of remaining services to be provided through the contract term for customers whose services have been activated ("active"); and (ii) the value of services contracted with customers that have not yet been installed ("backlog"). Backlog is not recorded in revenue, deferred revenue or elsewhere in the condensed consolidated financial statements until the Company establishes a contractual right to invoice, at which point it is recorded as revenue or deferred revenue, as appropriate. The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC paragraph 606-10-50-14(a) and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.
The Company expects that the amount of backlog relative to the total value of its contracts will change from year to year due to several factors, including the amount invoiced at the beginning of the contract term, the timing and duration of the Company's customer agreements, varying invoicing cycles of agreements and changes in customer financial circumstances. Accordingly, fluctuations in backlog are not always a reliable indicator of future revenues.

Deferred Commissions and Fulfillment Costs
The Company capitalizes a significant portion of its commission expense and related fringe benefits earned by its sales personnel. Additionally, the Company capitalizes certain costs to install and activate hardware and software used in its managed security services, primarily related to a portion of the compensation for the personnel who perform the installation activities. These deferred costs are amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the assets relate.

The Company did not record any impairment losses on the deferred commissions or deferred fulfillment costs during the three months ended May 3, 2019.
NOTE 4 — GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill relates to the acquisition of Dell by Dell Technologies and represents the excess of the purchase price attributable to Secureworks over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. There were no additions, adjustments or impairments to goodwill during the periods presented. Accordingly, goodwill totaled $416.5 million as of May 3, 2019 and February 1, 2019.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis during the third fiscal quarter of each fiscal year, or earlier if an indicator of impairment occurs. The Company completed the most recent annual impairment test in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 by performing a quantitative assessment of goodwill at the reporting unit level. In performing this quantitative assessment, the Company, using a combination of discounted cash flows and market approach (comparable market prices) to determine fair value of the reporting unit, compared the fair value to its carrying value. The assumptions used in the valuation are consistent with those which the Company believes hypothetical market participants would use. On a quarterly basis, between each annual impairment test, the Company assesses various quantitative and qualitative factors that may be indicative of an impairment. Based on the Company's most recent evaluation, there were no indications of a potential impairment as of May 3, 2019.

On November 2, 2015, SecureWorks, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SecureWorks Corp., entered into a revolving credit agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Inc. under which the Company obtained a $30 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. This facility was initially available for a one-year term beginning on April 21, 2016 and was extended on the same terms for successive one-year terms ending on March 27, 2019. During the three months ended May 3, 2019, the facility was amended and restated to extend the maturity date to March 26, 2020 and to increase the annual rate at which interest accrues to the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.50%. All other terms remained substantially the same.
Under the facility, up to $30 million principal amount of borrowings may be outstanding at any time. Amounts under the facility may be borrowed, repaid, and reborrowed from time to time during the term of the facility. The proceeds from loans made under the facility may be used for general corporate purposes. The credit agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default. The unused portion of the facility is subject to a commitment fee of 0.35%, which is due upon expiration of the facility.
The maximum amount of borrowings may be increased by up to an additional $30 million by mutual agreement of the lender and borrower. The borrower will be required to repay, in full, all of the loans outstanding, including all accrued interest, and the facility will terminate upon a change of control of SecureWorks Corp. or following a transaction in which SecureWorks, Inc. ceases to be a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SecureWorks Corp. The facility is not guaranteed by SecureWorks Corp. or its subsidiaries. There was no outstanding balance under the credit facility as of May 3, 2019 or February 1, 2019.
NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal ContingenciesFrom time to time, the Company is involved in claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. The Company reviews the status of such matters at least quarterly and adjusts its liabilities as necessary to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other relevant information. Whether the outcome of any claim, suit, assessment, investigation or legal proceeding, individually or collectively, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will depend on a number of factors, including the nature, timing and amount of any associated expenses, amounts paid in settlement, damages or other remedies or consequences. To the extent new information is obtained and the Company's views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations or legal proceedings change, changes in accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such a determination is made. As of May 3, 2019, the Company does not believe that there were any such matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Customer-based Taxation ContingenciesVarious government entities ("taxing authorities") require the Company to bill its customers for the taxes they owe based on the services they purchase from the Company. The application of the rules of each taxing authority concerning which services are subject to each tax and how those services should be taxed involves the application of judgment. Taxing authorities periodically perform audits to verify compliance and include all periods that remain open under applicable statutes, which generally range from three to four years. These audits could result in significant assessments of past taxes, fines and interest if the Company were found to be non-compliant. During the course of an audit, a taxing authority may question the Company's application of its rules in a manner that, if the Company were not successful in substantiating its position, could result in a significant financial impact to the Company. In the course of preparing its financial statements and disclosures, the Company considers whether information exists that would warrant disclosure or an accrual with respect to such a contingency.
Indemnifications—In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which it agrees to indemnify its customers from certain losses incurred by the customer as to third-party claims relating to the services performed on behalf of the Company or for certain losses incurred by the customer as to third-party claims arising from certain events as defined within the particular contract. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments related to these indemnifications have been immaterial.
Concentrations—The Company sells solutions to customers of all sizes primarily through its direct sales organization, supplemented by sales through channel partners. The Company had no customer that represented 10% or more of its net revenue for the three months ended May 3, 2019 or May 4, 2018.
NOTE 7 — LEASES
The Company recorded operating lease costs of approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended May 3, 2019. The Company also incurred short-term and variable lease costs of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended May 3, 2019. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $1.3 million during the three months ended May 3, 2019.

NOTE 8 — STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

On September 26, 2018, the Company's board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program, under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $15 million of the Company's Class A common stock through September 30, 2019. On March 26, 2019, the board of directors expanded the repurchase program to authorize the repurchase up to an additional $15 million of the Company's Class A common stock through May 1, 2020. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or in other types of transactions. The timing and amount of any repurchases under the program will be determined by management based upon market conditions and other factors. During the three months ended May 3, 2019, the Company repurchased 38,380 shares of Class A common stock at an average price of $23.72, for an aggregate cost of $0.9 million. As of May 3, 2019, $15.6 million remained available for further purchases under the stock repurchase program.
NOTE 9 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND OTHER LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE INCENTIVES
The Company's board of directors adopted the SecureWorks Corp. 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan") effective April 18, 2016. The 2016 Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, unrestricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, other equity-based awards, and cash bonus awards. Awards may be granted under the 2016 Plan to individuals who are employees, officers, or non-employee directors of the Company or any of its affiliates, consultants and advisors who perform services for the Company or any of its affiliates, and any other individual whose participation in the 2016 Plan is determined to be in the best interests of the Company by the compensation committee of the board of directors. During Fiscal 2019, the 2016 Plan was amended to increase the total shares of Class A common stock available for issuance by an additional 4,000,000 shares.
Under the 2016 Plan, the Company granted 1,158,276 and 1,602,953 restricted stock units during the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018, respectively. The Company granted 175,000 and 405,000 restricted stock awards during the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018, respectively. The annual restricted stock unit and restricted stock awards granted during fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 vest over a three-year period and approximately 50% of such awards are subject to performance conditions.
In March 2017, the Company began granting long-term performance cash awards to certain employees under the 2016 Plan. The employees who receive these performance cash awards do not receive equity awards as part of the long-term incentive program. The long-term performance cash awards are subject to various performance conditions and vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period. During the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018, the Company granted $6.6 million and $15.7 million, respectively, of these awards. The Company recognized $1.7 million and $1.5 million of related compensation expense for the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018, respectively.

NOTE 10 — INCOME AND OTHER TAXES

During the periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company did not file separate federal tax returns as the Company generally was included in the tax grouping of other Dell entities within the respective entity's tax jurisdiction. The income tax benefit has been calculated using the separate return method, modified to apply the benefits-for-loss approach. Under the benefits-for-loss approach, net operating losses or other tax attributes are characterized as realized by the Company when those attributes are utilized by other members of the Dell consolidated group.
Our effective tax benefit rate was 41.8% and 19.1% for the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018, respectively. The change in the Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended May 3, 2019 compared with the effective income tax rate for the three months ended May 4, 2018 was primarily attributable to the impact of certain discrete adjustments related to stock-based compensation expense. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended May 3, 2019 also includes the discrete impact of approximately $2.2 million relating to the impact of the vesting of certain equity awards for which the fair value on the vesting date was higher than the fair value on the date the equity awards were originally granted. This change in fair value, which is measured by the price of the Class A common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, resulted in a higher actual tax deduction than was deducted for financial reporting purposes.
As of May 3, 2019 and February 1, 2019, the Company had $4.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively, of deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards for state tax returns that are not included with those of other Dell entities. These net operating loss carryforwards began expiring in the fiscal year ended February 1, 2019. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of these net operating loss carryforwards, the Company has provided valuation allowances for the full amount as of May 3, 2019 and February 1, 2019. Because the Company is included in the tax filings of other Dell entities, management has determined that it will be able to realize the remainder of its deferred tax assets. If the Company's tax provision had been prepared using the separate return method, the unaudited pro forma pre-tax loss, tax benefit and net loss for the three months ended May 3, 2019 would have been $14.2 million, $0.3 million and $13.9 million, respectively, as a result of the recognition of a valuation allowance that would have been recorded on certain deferred tax assets as well as certain attributes from the U.S. Tax Reform Act that would be lost if not utilized by the Dell consolidated group.
Net deferred tax balances are included in other non-current assets and other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
As of May 3, 2019 and February 1, 2019, the Company had $14.1 million and $6.9 million, respectively, of a net operating loss tax receivable from Dell. The Company had $7.6 million and $7.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of May 3, 2019 and February 1, 2019, respectively.
NOTE 11 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Allocated Expenses
For the periods presented, Dell has provided various corporate services to Secureworks in the ordinary course of business. The costs of services provided to Secureworks by Dell are governed by a shared services agreement between Secureworks and Dell Inc. or its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The total amounts of the charges under the shared services agreement with Dell were $1.6 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018, respectively. Management believes that the basis on which the expenses have been allocated is a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by the Company during the periods presented.

Related Party Arrangements
For the periods presented, related party transactions and activities involving Dell Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries were not always consummated on terms equivalent to those that would prevail in an arm's-length transaction where conditions of competitive, free-market dealing may exist.
The Company purchases computer equipment for internal use from Dell that is capitalized within property and equipment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. These purchases were made at pricing that is intended to approximate arm's-length pricing. Purchases of computer equipment from Dell and EMC Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell ("EMC"), totaled $1.4 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018, respectively.
EMC, a company that provides enterprise software and storage, maintains a majority ownership interest in a subsidiary, VMware, Inc. ("VMware"), that provides cloud and virtualization software and services. The Company's purchases of annual maintenance services, software licenses and hardware systems for internal use from Dell, EMC and VMware totaled $0.8 million and $0.3 million and for the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018, respectively.
The Company recognized revenue related to solutions provided to other subsidiaries of Dell, consisting of RSA Security LLC, Pivotal Software, Inc and Boomi, Inc. The revenue recognized by the Company for security solutions provided to these entities totaled $26 thousand and $0.1 million for the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018, respectively. Purchases by the Company from these subsidiaries totaled $56 thousand and $28 thousand for the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018, respectively.
The Company recognized revenue related to solutions provided to significant beneficial owners of Secureworks, which include Michael S. Dell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dell Technologies and Dell Inc. and Silver Lake Partners III, L.P. The revenues recognized by the Company from solutions provided to Mr. Dell, MSD Capital, L.P. (a firm founded for the purposes of managing investments of Mr. Dell and his family), DFI Resources LLC, a related party, and the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation, as well as Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., totaled $0.1 million for both the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018.
The Company provides solutions to certain customers whose contractual relationship has historically been with Dell rather than Secureworks, although the Company has the primary responsibility to provide the services. Effective August 1, 2015, upon the creation of new subsidiaries to segregate some of the Company's operations from Dell's operations, as described in "Note 1—Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation," many of such customer contracts were transferred from Dell to the Company, forming a direct contractual relationship between the Company and the end customer. For customers whose contracts have not yet been transferred and for contracts subsequently originated through Dell under a reseller agreement, the Company recognized revenues of approximately $14.8 million and $12.7 million for the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018, respectively.
As the Company's customer and on behalf of certain of its own customers, Dell also purchases solutions from the Company at pricing that is intended to approximate arm's-length pricing. Such revenues totaled approximately $3.3 million and $5.0 million and for the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018, respectively.
As a result of the foregoing related party arrangements, the Company has recorded the following related party balances in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of May 3, 2019 and February 1, 2019. The Company settles in cash its related party balances with Dell on a quarterly basis.

The Company measures fair value within the guidance of the three-level valuation hierarchy. This hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The categorization of a measurement within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Other observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This management's discussion and analysis is based upon the financial statements of Secureworks which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended February 1, 2019 included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 28, 2019, which we refer to as the Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed in "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report.
Our fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Friday closest to January 31. We refer to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020 and the fiscal year ended February 1, 2019 as fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively. Fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 each have 52 weeks, and each quarter has 13 weeks. All percentage amounts and ratios presented in this management's discussion and analysis were calculated using the underlying data in thousands. Unless otherwise indicated, all changes identified for the current-period results represent comparisons to results for the prior corresponding fiscal periods.
Except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, (1) all references to "Secureworks," "we," "us," "our" and "our Company" in this management's discussion and analysis refer to SecureWorks Corp. and our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, (2) all references to "Dell" refer to Dell Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and (3) all references to "Dell Technologies" refer to Dell Technologies Inc., the ultimate parent company of Dell Inc.
Overview
We are a leading global provider of intelligence-driven information security solutions singularly focused on protecting our customers from cyber attacks. We combine visibility from thousands of customers, machine learning and automation from our industry-leading SecureWorks Counter Threat PlatformTM, and actionable insights from our team of elite researchers and analysts to create a powerful network effect that provides increasingly strong protection for our customers. By aggregating and analyzing data from various sources around the world, we prevent security breaches, detect malicious activity in real time, respond rapidly and predict emerging threats.
Our mission is to unlock the value of our customers' security investments by simplifying their complex security operations and amplifying their defenses. Through our vendor-neutral approach, we create integrated and comprehensive solutions by proactively managing the collection of "point" products deployed by our customers to address specific security issues and provide supplemental solutions where gaps exist in our customers' defenses. We customize the right level of security for each customer's unique situation, which evolves as the customer's organization grows and changes.
We have pioneered an integrated approach that delivers a broad portfolio of information security solutions to organizations of varying size and complexity. Our flexible and scalable solutions support the evolving needs of the largest, most sophisticated enterprises staffed with in-house security experts, as well as small and medium-sized businesses and government agencies with limited in-house capabilities and resources.
Our solutions enable organizations to:
prevent security breaches by fortifying their cyber defenses,
detect malicious activity,
respond rapidly to security breaches, and
predict emerging threats.
Our solutions leverage the proprietary technologies, processes and extensive expertise and knowledge of the tactics, techniques, and procedures of the adversary that we have developed over more than 19 years. Key elements of our strategy include:
maintain and extend our technology leadership,
expand and diversify our customer base,
deepen our existing customer relationships, and
attract and retain top talent.
Our intelligence-driven information security solutions offer an innovative approach to prevent, detect, respond to and predict cybersecurity breaches. Through our managed security services, which are sold on a subscription basis, we provide global visibility and insight into malicious activity, enabling our customers to detect and effectively remediate threats quickly. Threat

19



intelligence, which is typically deployed as part of our managed security services, delivers early warnings of vulnerabilities and threats along with actionable information to help prevent any adverse impact. In addition to these solutions, we also offer a variety of professional services, which include security and risk consulting and incident response. Through security and risk consulting, we advise customers on a broad range of security and risk-related matters. Incident response minimizes the impact and duration of security breaches through proactive customer preparation, rapid containment and thorough event analysis followed by effective remediation. We continuously evaluate potential investments and acquisitions of businesses, services and technologies that could complement our existing offerings. We have a single organization responsible for the delivery of our security solutions, which enables us to respond quickly to our customers' evolving needs and help them secure themselves against cyber attacks.
The fees we charge for our solutions vary based on a number of factors, including the solutions selected, the number of customer devices covered by the selected solutions, and the level of management we provide for the solutions. In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, approximately 75% of our revenue was derived from subscription-based solutions, attributable to managed security contracts, while approximately 25% was derived from professional services engagements. As we respond to the evolving needs of our customers, the relative mix of subscription-based solutions and professional services we provide our customers may fluctuate.
Key Operating Metrics
In recent years, we have experienced broad growth across our portfolio of intelligence-driven information security solutions being provided to all sizes of customers. We have achieved much of this growth by providing solutions to large enterprise customers, which generate substantially more average revenue than our small and medium-sized business, or SMB, customers and by continually expanding the volume and breadth of the security solutions that we provide to all customers. This has resulted in steady growth in our average revenue per customer. This growth has required continuous investment in our business, resulting in net losses. We believe these investments are critical to our success, although they may continue to impact our profitability.
We believe the operating metrics described below provide further insight into the long-term value of our subscription agreements and our ability to maintain and grow our customer relationships. Relevant key operating metrics are presented below as of the dates indicated and for the quarterly periods then ended:

Subscription Customer Base. We define our subscription customer base as the number of customers who subscribe to our managed security solutions as of a particular date. We believe that growing our existing customer base and our ability to grow our average subscription revenue per customer represent significant future revenue opportunities for us.

Total Customer Base. We define our total customer base as the number of customers that subscribe to our managed security solutions as well as customers that buy professional and other services from us, as of a particular date.

Annual and Monthly Recurring Revenue. We define recurring revenue as the value of our subscription contracts as of a particular date. Because we use recurring revenue as a leading indicator of future annual revenue, we include operational backlog. We define operational backlog as the recurring revenue associated with pending contracts, which are contracts that have been sold but for which the service period has not yet commenced. Our increase in recurring revenue has been driven primarily by our continuing ability to expand our offerings and sell additional solutions to existing customers, as well as by growth in our customer base. Overall, we expect both annual and monthly recurring revenue to continue to grow as we retain and expand our customer base, and as our customers extend the use of our solutions over time.

Average Subscription Revenue Per Customer. The increase in our average subscription revenue per customer is primarily related to the persistence of cyber threats and the results of our sales and marketing efforts to increase the awareness of our solutions. Additionally, our customer composition of both enterprise and SMB companies provides us with an opportunity to

20



expand our professional services revenue.

Revenue Retention Rate. Our revenue retention rate is an important measure of our success in retaining and growing revenue from our subscription-based customers. To calculate our revenue retention rate for any period, we compare the monthly recurring revenue excluding operational backlog of our subscription-based customer base at the beginning of the fiscal year, which we call our base recurring revenue, to the monthly recurring revenue excluding operational backlog from that same cohort of customers at the end of the period, which we call our retained recurring revenue. By dividing the retained recurring revenue by the base recurring revenue, we measure our success in retaining and growing installed revenue from the specific cohort of customers we served at the beginning of the period. Our calculation includes the positive revenue impacts of selling and installing additional solutions to this cohort of customers and the negative revenue impacts of customer or service attrition during the period. However, the calculation does not include the positive impact on revenue from sales of solutions to any customers acquired during the period. Our revenue retention rates may decline or increase from period to period as a result of several factors, including the timing of solution installations and customer renewal rates.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use supplemental measures of our performance, which are derived from our financial information, but which are not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures presented in this management's discussion and analysis include non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share and adjusted EBITDA. We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to help evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our operating performance and enabling more meaningful period-to-period comparisons.
In particular, we have excluded the impact of certain purchase accounting adjustments related to a change in the basis of deferred revenue for the acquisition of Dell by Dell Technologies in fiscal 2014. We believe it is useful to exclude such purchase accounting adjustments related to the foregoing transactions as this deferred revenue generally results from multi-year service contracts under which deferred revenue is established upon sale and revenue is recognized over the term of the contract. Pursuant to the fair value provisions applicable to the accounting for business combinations, GAAP requires this deferred revenue to be recorded at its fair value, which is typically less than the book value. In presenting non-GAAP earnings, we add back the reduction in revenue that results from this revaluation on the expectation that a significant majority of these service contracts will be renewed in the future and therefore the revaluation is not helpful in predicting our ongoing revenue trends. We believe that this non-GAAP financial adjustment is useful to investors because it allows investors to (1) evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, and (2) compare past and future reports of financial results of our Company as the revenue reduction related to acquired deferred revenue will not recur when related service contracts are renewed in future periods.
There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this management's discussion and analysis. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
Non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share, as defined by us, exclude the items described in the reconciliation below. As the excluded items can have a material impact on earnings, our management compensates for this limitation by relying primarily on GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures supplementally. The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance in isolation from or as a substitute for revenue, gross margin, research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, operating income (loss) or net income (loss) prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The table below presents a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We encourage you to review the reconciliations in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. In future fiscal periods, we may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items. Accordingly, the exclusion of these items and other similar items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual.

21



The following is a summary of the items excluded from the most comparable GAAP financial measures to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures:
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets consists of amortization of customer relationships and acquired technology. In connection with the acquisition of Dell by Dell Technologies in fiscal 2014, all of our tangible and intangible assets and liabilities were accounted for and recognized at fair value on the transaction date. Accordingly, amortization of intangible assets consists of amortization associated with intangible assets recognized in connection with this transaction.
Stock-based Compensation Expense. Non-cash stock-based compensation relates to both the Dell Technologies and Secureworks equity plans. We exclude such expenses when assessing the effectiveness of our operating performance since stock-based compensation does not necessarily correlate with the underlying operating performance of the business.
Aggregate Adjustment for Income Taxes. The aggregate adjustment for income taxes is the estimated combined income tax effect for the adjustments mentioned above. The tax effects are determined based on the tax jurisdictions where the above items were incurred.

Our Relationship with Dell and Dell Technologies
On April 27, 2016, we completed our IPO, as further described below. Upon the closing of our IPO, Dell Technologies owned, indirectly through Dell Inc. and Dell Inc.'s subsidiaries, no shares of our outstanding Class A common stock and all shares of our outstanding Class B common stock, which as of May 3, 2019 represented approximately 85.9% of our total outstanding shares of common stock and approximately 98.4% of the combined voting power of both classes of our outstanding common stock.
As a majority-owned subsidiary of Dell, we receive from Dell various corporate services in the ordinary course of business, including finance, tax, human resources, legal, insurance, IT, procurement and facilities related services. The costs of these services have been charged in accordance with a shared services agreement that went into effect on August 1, 2015, the effective date of our carve-out from Dell. For more information regarding the allocated costs and related party transactions, see "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11—Related Party Transactions" in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
During the periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, Secureworks did not file separate federal tax returns, as Secureworks generally was included in the tax grouping of other Dell entities within the respective entity's tax jurisdiction. The income tax benefit has been calculated using the separate return method, modified to apply the benefits for loss approach. Under the benefits for loss approach, net operating losses or other tax attributes are characterized as realized or as realizable by Secureworks when those attributes are utilized or expect to be utilized by other members of the Dell consolidated group. For more information, see "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements —Note 10—Income and Other Taxes" in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Additionally, we participate in various commercial arrangements with Dell, under which, for example, we provide information security solutions to third-party customers with which Dell has contracted to provide our solutions, procure hardware, software and services from Dell, and sell our solutions through Dell in the United States and some international jurisdictions. In connection with our IPO, effective August 1, 2015, we entered into agreements with Dell that govern these commercial arrangements. These agreements generally were initially effective for up to one to three years and include extension and cancellation options. To the extent that we choose to or are required to transition away from the corporate services currently provided by Dell, we may incur additional non-recurring transition costs to establish our own stand-alone corporate functions. For more information regarding the allocated costs and related party transactions, see "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11—Related Party Transactions" in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We sell managed security solutions and threat intelligence solutions on a subscription basis and various professional services, including security and risk consulting and incident response solutions. Our managed security subscription contracts typically range from one to three years and, as of May 3, 2019, averaged two years in duration. The revenue and any related costs for these deliverables are recognized ratably over the contract term, beginning on the date on which service is made available to customers. Professional services customers typically purchase solutions pursuant to customized contracts that are shorter in duration. In general, these contracts have terms of less than one year. Professional services consist primarily of fixed-fee and retainer-based contracts. Revenue from these engagements is recognized under the proportional performance method of accounting. Revenue from time-and materials-based contracts is recognized as costs are incurred at amounts represented by the agreed-upon billing rates.
The fees we charge for our solutions vary based on a number of factors, including the solutions selected, the number of customer devices covered by the selected solutions, and the level of management we provide for the solutions. In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, approximately 75% of our revenue was derived from subscription-based solutions, attributable to managed security contracts, while approximately 25% was derived from professional services engagements. As we respond to the evolving needs of our customers, the relative mix of subscription-based solutions and professional services we provide our customers may fluctuate. International revenue, which we define as revenue contracted through non-U.S. entities, represented approximately 25% of our total net revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and 20% of our total net revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Although our international customers are located primarily in the United Kingdom, Japan, and Canada, we provided managed security services to customers across 53 countries as of May 3, 2019.
Over all of the periods presented in this report, our pricing strategy for our various offerings was relatively consistent, and accordingly did not significantly affect our revenue growth. However, we may adjust our pricing to remain competitive and support our strategic initiatives.

24



During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, a significant portion of the contract with Bank of America, N.A., a large customer, was amended and extended for two more years. During the term of the extended contract, the mix of services is expected to be different from the mix in prior periods and the total anticipated value of services may be lower than in prior periods.
Gross Margin
We operate in a challenging business environment, where the complexity and number of cyber attacks are constantly increasing. Accordingly, initiatives to drive the efficiency of our Counter Threat Platform and the continued training and development of our employees are critical to our long-term success. Gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by these factors as well as others, including the mix of solutions sold, the mix between large and small customers, timing of revenue recognition and the extent to which we expand our counter threat operations centers.
Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits and performance-based compensation for employees who maintain our Counter Threat Platform and provide solutions to our customers, as well as perform other critical functions. Also included in cost of revenue are amortization of equipment and costs associated with hardware provided to customers as part of their subscription services, amortization of technology licensing fees, amortization of intangible assets, fees paid to contractors who supplement or support our solutions, maintenance fees and overhead allocations. As our business grows, the cost of revenue associated with our solutions may fluctuate.
We operate in a high-growth industry and have experienced significant revenue growth since our inception. Accordingly, we expect our gross margin to increase in absolute dollars. We continue to invest in initiatives to drive the efficiency of our business to increase gross margin as a percentage of total revenue. However, as we balance revenue growth and efficiency initiatives, gross margin as a percentage of total revenue may fluctuate from period to period.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Our operating costs and expenses consist of research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses.
Research and Development, or R&D, Expenses. Research and development expenses include compensation and related expenses for the continued development of our solutions offerings, including a portion of expenses related to our threat research team, which focuses on the identification of system vulnerabilities, data forensics and malware analysis. R&D expenses also encompass expenses related to the development of prototypes of new solutions offerings and allocated overhead. Our customer solutions have generally been developed internally. We operate in a competitive and highly technical industry. Therefore, to maintain and extend our technology leadership, we intend to continue to invest in our R&D efforts by hiring more personnel to enhance our existing security solutions and to add complementary solutions.
Sales and Marketing, or S&M, Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses include salaries, sales commissions and performance-based compensation, benefits and related expenses for our S&M personnel, travel and entertainment, marketing and advertising programs (including lead generation), customer advocacy events, and other brand-building expenses, as well as allocated overhead. As we continue to grow our business, both domestically and internationally, we will invest in our sales capability, which will increase our sales and marketing expenses in absolute dollars.
General and Administrative, or G&A, Expenses. General and administrative expenses include primarily the costs of human resources and recruiting, finance and accounting, legal support, information management and information security systems, facilities management, corporate development and other administrative functions, and are partially offset by allocations of information technology and facilities costs to other functions.
Interest and Other, Net
Interest and other, net consists primarily of the effect of exchange rates on our foreign currency-denominated asset and liability balances and interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents. All foreign currency transaction adjustments are recorded as foreign currency gains (losses) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. To date, we have had minimal interest income.
Income Tax Benefit
Our effective tax benefit rate was 41.8% and 19.1% for the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018, respectively. The change in the Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended May 3, 2019 compared with the effective income tax rate for the three months ended May 4, 2018 was primarily attributable to the impact of certain discrete adjustments related to stock-based compensation expense. We calculate a provision for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized by identifying the temporary differences arising from the different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. We provide valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, where appropriate. We file U.S. federal returns on a consolidated basis with Dell and we expect to continue doing so until such time (if any) as we

25



are deconsolidated for tax purposes with respect to the Dell consolidated group. According to the terms of the tax matters agreement between Dell Technologies and Secureworks that went into effect on August 1, 2015, Dell Technologies will reimburse us for any amounts by which our tax assets reduce the amount of tax liability owed by the Dell group on an unconsolidated basis. For a further discussion of income tax matters, see "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 10—Income and Other Taxes" in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Non-GAAP financial measures as a percentage of revenue are calculated based on non-GAAP revenue.
Three months ended May 3, 2019 compared to the three months ended May 4, 2018
Revenue
Net revenue, which we refer to as revenue, increased $6.7 million, or 5.3%, for the three months ended May 3, 2019. The revenue increase resulted primarily from revenue generated by professional services, including the Company's incident response and other long-term consulting arrangements. Revenue attributable to our subscription-based solutions represented approximately 74.6% of total revenue for the three months ended May 3, 2019. Our existing customers continued to increase their contracted subscriptions for our solutions, with average revenue per customer increasing 7% year over year.
Revenue for certain services provided to or on behalf of Dell under our commercial agreements with Dell totaled approximately $3.3 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018, respectively. For more information regarding the commercial agreements, see "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11—Related Party Transactions" in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
We primarily generate revenue from sales in the United States. However, for the three months ended May 3, 2019, international revenue, which we define as revenue contracted through non-U.S. entities, increased to $32.5 million, or 25.9%, from the three months ended May 4, 2018. Currently, our international customers are primarily located in the United Kingdom, Japan, and Canada. We are focused on continuing to grow our international customer base in future periods.
Gross Margin
Our total gross margin increased $4.4 million, or 6.7%, for the three months ended May 3, 2019. As a percentage of revenue, our gross margin increased 70 basis points to 52.7% for the three months ended May 3, 2019. Gross margin on a GAAP basis

26



includes amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding these adjustments, gross margin increased $4.4 million, or 6.3%, for the three months ended May 3, 2019. As a percentage of revenue, our non-GAAP gross margin increased 60 basis points to 55.5% for the three months ended May 3, 2019. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of revenue on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis during the three months ended May 3, 2019 was primarily attributable to improvement in both our subscription-based solutions and professional services margins as we continue to focus on delivering comprehensive higher-value security solutions and driving scale and operational efficiencies.

See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Research and Development Expenses. R&D expenses increased $0.3 million, or 1.3%, for the three months ended May 3, 2019. As a percentage of revenue, R&D expenses decreased 70 basis points to 17.0% for the three months ended May 3, 2019. On a non-GAAP basis, R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased 70 basis points to 16.2% for the three months ended May 3, 2019. The increase in R&D expenses on a dollar basis was primarily attributable to increased compensation and benefits, and other technology related costs for the continued development of our solutions offerings, including the development of a new application framework.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. S&M expenses increased $2.5 million, or 7.1%, for the three months ended May 3, 2019. As a percentage of revenue, S&M expenses increased 50 basis points to 28.8% for the three months ended May 3, 2019. On a non-GAAP basis, S&M expenses as a percentage of revenue increased 40 basis points to 28.2% for the three months ended May 3, 2019. The increases in S&M expenses as a percentage of revenue were primarily attributable to sales cost associated with the new offerings launched in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 in partnership with Dell.
General and Administrative Expenses. G&A expenses decreased $1.6 million, or 6.2%, for the three months ended May 3, 2019. As a percentage of revenue, G&A expenses decreased 220 basis points to 17.8% for the three months ended May 3, 2019. On a non-GAAP basis, G&A expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased 190 basis points to 13.1% for the three months ended May 3, 2019 due to improved operating leverage. The decreases in G&A expenses on a dollar basis were primarily attributable to a decrease in outside legal and audit fees, as well as lower bad debt expense compared to the prior period.
Operating Loss
Our GAAP operating loss was $14.5 million for the three months ended May 3, 2019. As a percentage of revenue, our operating loss decreased to 10.9% for the three months ended May 3, 2019. The decrease in our GAAP operating loss on a dollar basis was primarily attributable to increased gross margin and lower general and administrative costs, which were partially offset by increased sales and marketing costs in our business. Operating loss on a GAAP basis includes amortization of intangible assets

27



and stock-based compensation expense. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding these charges, our operating loss as a percentage of revenue improved to 2.0% for the three months ended May 3, 2019. The changes in our non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating loss as a percentage of revenue during the three months ended May 3, 2019 were attributable to the same drivers as above.
Interest and Other, Net
Our interest and other, net was $0.3 million of income for the three months ended May 3, 2019 compared with $0.5 million for the prior period. The changes primarily reflected the effects of foreign currency transactions and related exchange rate fluctuations.
Income Tax Benefit
Our income tax benefit was $5.9 million, or 41.8%, of our pre-tax loss during the three months ended May 3, 2019. The increase in the effective tax benefit rate was primarily attributable to the impact of certain discrete adjustments related to stock-based compensation expense in the current period.
Net Loss
Our net loss of $8.3 million decreased $5.5 million, or 40.2%, for the three months ended May 3, 2019. Net loss on a non-GAAP basis was $1.9 million, which represented a decrease of $2.7 million, or 58.5% from the three months ended May 4, 2018. The changes in net loss were attributable to our improved operating results and the higher income tax benefit recognized in the current period.
Liquidity and Capital Commitments
Overview
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents together with our accounts receivable will provide us with sufficient liquidity to fund our business and meet our obligations for at least 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the rate of expansion of our workforce, the timing and extent of our expansion into new markets, the timing of introductions of new functionality and enhancements to our solutions, potential acquisitions of complementary businesses and technologies, continuing market acceptance of our solutions, and general economic conditions. We may need to raise additional capital or incur indebtedness to continue to fund our operations in the future or to fund our needs for less predictable strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions. In addition to our $30 million revolving credit facility from Dell, described below, sources of financing may include arrangements with unaffiliated third parties, depending on the availability of capital, the cost of funds and lender collateral requirements.

During the three months ended May 3, 2019, on average, 57% of our recurring revenue was billed in advance and approximately 43% was billed on either a monthly or a quarterly basis. Invoiced accounts receivable generally are collected over a period of 30 to 120 days. The decrease in accounts receivable as of May 3, 2019, reflected increased collection activity, partially offset by an increase in revenue. We regularly monitor our accounts receivable for collectability, particularly in markets where economic conditions remain uncertain, and continue to take actions to reduce our exposure to credit losses. As of May 3, 2019 and February 1, 2019, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $5.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts was due to overall improvement in our longer-aged receivables balances. Based on our assessment, we believe we are adequately reserved for credit risk.

Revolving Credit Facility
SecureWorks, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, has a revolving credit agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Inc. under which we have a $30 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. Effective March 26, 2019, the facility was amended and restated to extend the maturity date to March 26, 2020 and to increase the annual rate at which interest accrues to the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.50%. Under the facility, up to $30 million principal amount of borrowings may be outstanding at any time. The maximum amount of borrowings may be increased by up to an additional $30 million by mutual agreement of the lender and borrower. The proceeds from loans made under the facility may be used for general corporate purposes. The facility is not guaranteed by us or our subsidiaries. There was no outstanding balance under the facility as of May 3, 2019 or February 1, 2019.
The unused portion of the facility is subject to a commitment fee of 0.35%, which is due upon expiration of the facility. For additional information about the facility, see "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5—Debt" in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Operating Activities Cash used in operating activities totaled $3.0 million and $18.4 million for the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018, respectively. The improvement in our operating cash flows was primarily driven by improved operating results as well as the decrease in our net accounts receivable balance due to improved collection rates, partially offset by the overall decrease in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities, as well as by our net transactions with Dell. We expect that our future transactions with Dell will be a source of cash over time as we anticipate that our charges to Dell will continue to exceed Dell's charges to us, although the timing of charges and settlements may vary from period to period.
Investing Activities — Cash used in investing activities totaled $7.0 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018, respectively. For the periods presented, investing activities consisted primarily of capital expenditures for property and equipment to support our data center and facility infrastructure as well as certain capitalized cost related to the development of our new security software application.
Financing Activities — Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $8.4 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended May 3, 2019 and May 4, 2018, respectively. The usage in the three months ended May 3, 2019 reflected employee tax withholding payments of $7.5 million on restricted stock awards paid by us, and our repurchase of $0.9 million of our Class A common stock pursuant to our stock repurchase program. The usage in the three months ended May 4, 2018 reflected employee tax withholding payments of $2.0 million on restricted stock awards paid by us and payments of long-term financing arrangements of $1.6 million, including an intercompany obligation of $1.1 million with a Dell subsidiary.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of May 3, 2019, we were not subject to any obligations pursuant to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Critical Accounting Policies
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the requirements of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for a complete financial statement presentation. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the

29



opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals and disclosures considered necessary for a fair interim presentation have been included. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
As described in "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 1Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation," we have adopted the new lease accounting guidance set forth in ASC 842. Management assessed the critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report and determined that, other than the change in recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, there were no changes to our critical accounting policies or our estimates associated with those policies during the three months ended May 3, 2019.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 1—Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation" in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a description of recently issued accounting pronouncements and our expectation of their impact, if any, on our financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our results of operations and cash flows have been and will continue to be subject to fluctuations because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Euro, the British Pound, the Romanian Leu and the Canadian Dollar, the currencies of countries where we currently have our most significant international operations. Our expenses in international locations are generally denominated in the currencies of the countries in which our operations are located.
As our international operations grow, we may begin to use foreign exchange forward contracts to partially mitigate the impact of fluctuations in net monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures    
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined below under SEC rules, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange of 1934, or Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
In connection with the preparation of this report, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 3, 2019. Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of May 3, 2019.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures which (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets, (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, (c) provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with appropriate authorization of management and the board of directors, and (d) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended May 3, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information

30



Item 1A. Risk Factors
We have discussed risks affecting us under "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2019 filed with the SEC on March 28, 2019. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks facing us. There are additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial that may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On September 27, 2018, the Company announced a stock repurchase program, under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $15 million of our Class A common stock through September 30, 2019. On March 26, 2019, our board of directors expanded the repurchase program to authorize the repurchase of up to an additional $15 million of the Class A common stock through May 1, 2020.

(c)Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by the Lender to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and payable hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest then due and payable hereunder, (ii) then, to pay principal then due and payable hereunder, and (iii) then, to pay other amounts then due and payable under this Agreement.

10.2.    No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

10.3.    Expenses, Etc.

(a)Costs and Expenses. The parties shall pay their own expenses with respect this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice from the Lender, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights




in connection with this Agreement, including such expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loans.

10.4.    Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement may be modified or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and the Lender, and any provision of this Agreement may be waived only by the Lender.
10.5.    Successors and Assigns.

(a)Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender, and the Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except as permitted by this Section 10.5 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the respective Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)Assignments by Lender. The Lender may at any time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Commitment and the Loans) with the prior written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that no such consent shall be required for an assignment to an Affiliate of the Lender, or, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person. In the event of any such assignment, the Lender and the assignee or assignees may enter such intercreditor arrangements as they may determine to be necessary or advisable for the purpose of determining voting rights and similar issues hereunder. From and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of the Lender under this Agreement, and the Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be




entitled to the benefits of Sections 5 and 10.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.

(c)Certain Pledges. The Lender may at any time pledge or assign as collateral all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of the Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

10.6.    Survival. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 5 and 10 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitment and, in the case of any assignment by the Lender of any interest in the Commitment or Loans hereunder, shall survive, in the case of any event or circumstance that occurred prior to the effective date of such assignment, the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that the Lender may cease to be the “Lender” hereunder. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a notice of any Loan, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty.

10.7.    Captions. The section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

10.8.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
10.9.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Service of Process and Venue.

(a)Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the applicable laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas.

(b)Submission to Jurisdiction. The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Texas sitting in Travis County and of the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, and any applicable appellate court, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims with respect to any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Texas State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its property in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c)Alternative Process. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Lender to serve any such process or summonses in any other manner permitted by applicable law.





(d)Waiver of Venue, Etc. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

10.10.    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

10.13.    No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower acknowledges that the Lender has no fiduciary relationship with, or fiduciary duty to, the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. This Agreement does not create a joint venture among the parties.

Exhibit 10.4



SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

This Separation Agreement and Release (“Agreement”) sets forth the mutual agreement of Dell Technologies Inc. (“Dell”), SecureWorks Inc. (“SecureWorks”), for itself, its subsidiaries, parents and related entities (collectively, Dell, SecureWorks and such related entities, the “Company”) and Wayne Jackson (“Executive”) regarding the subject matters addressed below.
1.Separation Date. Executive’s employment with SecureWorks will end on January 31, 2020 or such earlier date as provided in this Agreement (the “Separation Date”). Until the Separation Date, Executive will continue to serve as the Chief Financial Officer until a new Chief Financial Officer is named and assumes the role. After a new Chief Financial Officer is named, Executive will remain as a Senior Vice President of Finance to support the transition to the new Chief Financial Officer and other duties (not inconsistent with Executive’s historical roles and position with the Company) as assigned by the Chief Executive Officer. During this transition period Executive may provide such services at SecureWorks’ Atlanta office or remotely, at his option. Executive will receive continued compensation and benefits, consistent with current levels through to the Separation Date.
a.
If at any time prior to January 31, 2020 Executive is terminated by SecureWorks, other than in a termination described in paragraph 2, the Separation Date will be the effective date of such termination, and Executive will be eligible to receive the severance benefits described in this Agreement.
b.
If Executive voluntarily resigns prior to January 31, 2020 but after a new Chief Financial Officer is named, the Separation Date will be the effective date of such resignation, and Executive will be eligible to receive the severance benefits described in this Agreement.
c.
If Executive voluntarily resigns prior to January 31, 2020 and prior to a new Chief Financial Officer being named, the Separation Date will be the effective date of such resignation, and Executive will not be eligible to receive any, and will forfeit all, severance benefits described in this Agreement.
d.
If a new Chief Financial Officer is not named prior to January 31, 2020, an interim Chief Financial Officer will be named, and Executive will have no further duties after January 31, 2020 and will be eligible to receive the severance benefits described in this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, through to the Separation Date, Executive will continue to be compensated consistent with his current compensation level, and will continue to participate in and to be entitled to all other compensation, benefits and perquisites under the plans, programs, agreements and policies applicable to him as a SecureWorks executive employee, consistent with current levels, including, without limitation, any such arrangements providing compensation, benefits, accelerated vesting, severance and/or any other entitlements in the event of a change in control or similar transaction or event.
2.Continued Employment. During the period of continued employment through to the Separation Date, Executive will act in good faith and in a professional manner and abide by the non-disparagement provision set forth in paragraph 13. Nothing in this Agreement confers upon Executive a right to be a continuing employee of SecureWorks, or imposes on SecureWorks an obligation to continue Executive’s employment relationship. If Executive violates any of the terms of this Agreement, any of the



        
 

        

provisions of Executive’s employment or other agreements with SecureWorks, or SecureWorks’ Code of Conduct or any other SecureWorks’ policy generally applicable to employees of Executive’s level and position and any such violation is a material violation that would cause harm to the Company, SecureWorks may terminate Executive’s employment. If Executive’s employment is terminated before January 31, 2020 by SecureWorks for one of the foregoing reasons, Executive will not be eligible to receive any, and will forfeit all, severance benefits described in this Agreement. Executive’s rights, if any, to any benefit under SecureWorks’ health and welfare or retirement plans, or to any equity grants, will be governed by the applicable plan, program, policy or equity agreement.
3.Consideration from SecureWorks. If Executive signs this Agreement and does not revoke it during the Revocation Period (defined in paragraph 18), and except as provided in paragraphs 1.c. and 2, SecureWorks will provide Executive with the following good and valuable consideration:
a.
Severance Pay. If SecureWorks receives an Effective Final Release from Executive, SecureWorks will pay Executive severance pay (“Severance Pay”) in the amount of twelve (12) months of his current base salary, payable in four (4) substantially equal quarterly installments, with the first such installment payable on the last day of the third month following the Separation Date, and each subsequent installment payable on the last day of the third month following each payment. These payments will not include 401(k) or any other benefits-related deductions. However, all applicable taxes will be withheld.
b.
Short-Term Incentive Plan Payments. If SecureWorks receives an Effective Final Release from Executive, SecureWorks will pay Executive an additional Severance Pay equal to a prorated short-term incentive plan award payout. This payout amount will be calculated using:
i.
A payout modifier of 75% if the Separation Date is prior to January 31, 2020; otherwise a payout modifier of 100%.
ii.
A proration factor based on the number of days in the fiscal year that Executive was employed by the Company through to the Separation Date.
iii.
Executive’s base salary on the Separation Date (or his base salary on the date of this Agreement, if higher).
iv.
A plan target for Executive’s grade of 55%.
v.
An assumed corporate performance modifier and an individual performance modifier of 100% if the Separation Date is prior to January 31, 2020; otherwise the actual corporate performance modifier for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020 (or, if the actual corporate performance modifier is not determinable by the payment date described below, an estimate of such actual corporate performance modifier) and an individual modifier of 100%.
Amounts payable under this paragraph 3.b. will be paid to Executive through direct deposit (if available) within thirty (30) business days after the Separation Date.
c.
Long-Term Incentive Plan Payments. If SecureWorks receives an Effective Final Release from Executive, and if Executive holds unvested long-term incentive grants which are due to vest within ninety (90) days after the Separation Date, SecureWorks


        

will pay an additional severance pay equal to a prorated portion of the value of such grants. This payout amount will be calculated using the following calculation formula as applicable:
i.
Stock Options: 75% TIMES the number of shares of SecureWorks common stock (“Common Stock”) due to vest under the option grant within ninety (90) days after Executive’s Separation Date TIMES the difference between (x) and (y), where (x) is average closing price for a share of Common Stock for the week prior to the week that includes the Separation Date, and (y) is the option exercise price per share of Common Stock under the option. If this value is negative, it will be excluded from the payment calculation.
ii.
Restricted (and Performance Based) Stock: 75% TIMES the number of shares of Common Stock to vest within ninety (90) days after Executive’s Separation Date TIMES the average closing price for a share of Common Stock for the week prior to the week that includes the Separation Date.
Amounts payable under this paragraph 3.c. will be paid to Executive through direct deposit (if available) within thirty (30) business days after the Separation Date.
d.
COBRA. If SecureWorks receives an Effective Final Release from Executive, and if Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents are enrolled in a SecureWorks health, dental, and/or vision plan and Executive elects COBRA coverage for which Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents are eligible within the enrollment period, SecureWorks will pay the premiums for eighteen (18) months of benefits continuation under COBRA. All premiums for any benefits continuation under COBRA following that 18-month period shall be Executive’s sole responsibility.
e.
Effect of No Release or No Final Release. Executive agrees that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, in any SecureWorks’ applicable plan, program or policy governing health and welfare and retirement plans and, with respect to equity grants, in any equity award agreement, Executive is not entitled to receive from SecureWorks payment or distribution of any amounts of cash compensation (including, but not limited to, base salary, bonuses or severance pay), benefits, perquisites or property of any type after the Separation Date. If Executive does not sign this Agreement or if Executive revokes this Agreement during the Revocation Period described in paragraph 18, or if Executive does not sign the final release and deliver to SecureWorks an Effective Final Release, the only amount payable shall be such amounts as are required by applicable law, payments in accordance with Executive’s rights, if any, to any benefits under SecureWorks’ health and welfare or retirement plans and payments in accordance with Executive’s rights, if any, to equity grants as set out the applicable equity award agreement(s).
f.
Section 409A Compliance. The payments and benefits payable pursuant to this Agreement are intended either to be exempt from Internal Revenue Section 409A (“Section 409A”) as payments that would fall within the “short-term deferral period” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) or to comply with the provisions of Section 409A. This Agreement shall be interpreted to avoid any penalty or sanctions under Section 409A. Accordingly, all provisions herein, or incorporated by reference, shall be construed and interpreted to the maximum extent permitted to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A and, if necessary, any such provision shall


        

be deemed amended to comply with Section 409A and regulations thereunder. In connection therewith:
i.
It is intended that each installment of the payments and benefits hereunder shall be treated as a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A.
ii.
To the extent that payments and benefits under this Agreement are deferred compensation subject to Section 409A and are contingent upon Executive’s taking any employment-related action, including without limitation execution (and non-revocation) of another agreement, such as a release agreement, and the period within which such action(s) may be taken by Executive would begin in one calendar year and expire in the following calendar year, then such amounts or benefits shall be paid in such following calendar year.
iii.
If as of the Separation Date, Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B) or any successor provision thereto), then with regard to any payment or provision of benefit that is subject to Section 409A as deferred compensation and is due upon or as a result of Executive’s “separation from service,” notwithstanding any contrary provision under this Agreement, such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided, to the extent making or providing such payment or benefit would result in additional taxes or interest under Section 409A, until the date with is the earlier of (A) expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from such “separation from service,” and (B) the date of Executive’s death (the “Delay Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this section (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to Executive in a lump-sum, and any remaining payments and benefit due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them in this Agreement.
iv.
While this Agreement is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A, neither SecureWorks nor the Company makes or has made any representation, warranty or guarantee of any federal, state or local tax consequences of Executive’s entitlements under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, under Section 409A.
4.Complete Release.
a.
Release. Executive hereby fully releases the Company and all of its owners, partners, shareholders, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys, subsidiaries, joint ventures, and affiliates (and agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, and attorneys of such subsidiaries and affiliates) (collectively, "Released Parties"), from any and all known or unknown claims or demands he may have against any of them. Executive expressly waives any and all claims, whether asserted on an individual or class action basis, against the Released Parties including but not limited to all claims arising out of any contract, express or implied, and whether executory or not, any covenant of good faith and fair dealing, express or implied, any tort (whether intentional or negligent, including claims arising out of the negligence or gross negligence by the Released Parties and claims of express or implied defamation by the Released Parties), and any federal, state, or other governmental statute, regulation, or ordinance, including, without limitation, those


        

relating to qui tam, employment discrimination, termination of employment, payment of wages or provision of benefits, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”), the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (“USERRA”), the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Act, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”), and the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Executive further releases any and all claims that he may have under State law and any other claim under Federal law. Executive represents that he has not assigned to any other person any of such claims and that he has the full right to grant this release. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, SecureWorks and Executive agree that Executive is not waiving any claims that may arise in the future under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, any claim for benefits under the SecureWorks Inc. 401(k) Plan, the Comprehensive Welfare Benefits Plan, or the SecureWorks Inc. Retiree Medical Plan.
b.
Final Release. On or about the Separation Date, SecureWorks will provide to Executive a release agreement having substantially the same terms and scope as the release terms described in paragraphs 4.a., 6, 7 or 8. The final release will also have a consideration period of at least 21 days, and a revocation period of at least seven (7) days after such final release is signed by Executive. If Executive signs and does not revoke the final release during its revocation period, the final release will constitute an “Effective Final Release,” and SecureWorks will provide Executive with the payments and benefits described in paragraph 3, unless Executive’s employment termination is effected under paragraph 1.c. or 2, in which case no amounts shall be payable to Executive under paragraph 3.
c.
Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 4, the releases described in this Agreement do not waive and will not be construed to waive, release or otherwise affect any indemnification, defense or other protections, rights or benefits that Executive may have or be entitled to, at the Separation Date or in the future, with respect to Executive’s activities during his employment with SecureWorks, under any policies of insurance, such as a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy, under any by-law(s) or policy(ies) of SecureWorks or under state law.
5.Participation in Government Matters. Nothing in this Agreement, including the compete release and non-disparagement sections, restricts or prohibits Executive from communicating with, providing testimony before, providing confidential information to, or filing or cooperating in a claim or investigation directly with a self-regulatory authority or a governmental agency or entity (without the need to seek SecureWorks’ prior approval), including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Justice, the Securities Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General (collectively, the “Regulators”), or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state or federal law or regulation or receiving an award from any Regulator that provides awards for providing information. However, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Executive is waiving Executive’s right to receive any individual monetary relief from the Company resulting from such claims.
6.Release of Unknown Claims. For the purpose of implementing a full and complete release, Executive expressly acknowledges that the release that he gives in this Agreement is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, claims that he did not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of the


        

effective date of this Agreement, regardless of whether knowledge of such claims, or the facts upon which they might be based, would materially have affected the settlement of this matter, and that the consideration given under the Agreement was also for the release of those claims and contemplates the extinguishment of any such unknown claims. In furtherance of this settlement, Executive waives any right he may have under California Civil Code Section 1542 (and other similar statutes and regulations), which section reads as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.
7.Compensation Paid. Executive represents, warrants, and agrees that all forms of compensation and other monies, including paychecks, paid to Executive by SecureWorks to date have been accurately calculated, have represented the proper amounts due to Executive, and have been based on SecureWorks' merit-based compensation system. The consideration set forth in paragraph 3 of this Agreement is consideration for the complete release and the Effective Final Release and is in excess of what Executive is entitled to receive. If Executive or someone on Executive’s behalf claims any entitlement to further compensation from SecureWorks, Executive agrees that SecureWorks is entitled to full offset of the amounts set forth in this Agreement.
8.Non-Admission of Liability. SecureWorks and Executive understand and agree that they are entering into this Agreement to, among other things, resolve any claims or differences that may exist between them. By entering into this Agreement, neither SecureWorks nor Executive admits any liability or wrongdoing.
9.Future Employment. Executive agrees that Executive has no right to future employment at the Company. Executive understands that former SecureWorks employees may only be rehired in exceptional circumstances in SecureWorks’ sole discretion. Executive further expressly waives and opts out of all future claims, whether asserted on an individual or class action basis, against any Released Party related to a decision not to hire Executive.
10.Company Documents, Information, or Property. Executive agrees that, on or before the Separation Date, Executive will have returned to SecureWorks any and all documents relating to the Company or its business operations (and any and all copies thereof, whether in paper form or electronic form), computer equipment, badges, credit cards, and any other property of the Company in Executive’s possession or control. Executive represents and agrees that Executive will not take, nor has Executive taken, any such documents or property from the control or premises of the Company and that if, at any time after the Separation Date, Executive should come into possession of any such documents or property, Executive will return such documents or property to SecureWorks immediately.
11.Employment and Other Agreements. Executive agrees that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of agreements that Executive previously entered into with SecureWorks, and that are intended to survive Executive’s termination, remain in full force and effect. In connection therewith:
a.
As a material inducement to SecureWorks to enter into this Agreement, Executive reaffirms Executive’s intent to comply with Executive’s post-employment obligations to SecureWorks under such agreements. By way of example, the post-termination terms and conditions of an Executive’s long-term incentive and equity award agreements remain in full force and effect, and Executive may require under such agreement to return shares of stock, share value, option proceeds, or cash award payments if he


        

engages in certain conduct detrimental to the Company, including after the Separation Date.
b.
For purposes of the restrictive covenants that Executive agreed to when executing the Protection of Sensitive Information, Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Agreement, the definition of a “Direct Competitor” in paragraph 4 of that agreement, is revised to mean any entity or other business concern that offers or plans to offer products or services designed to protect business customers from information security risks (i.e., managed cyber security). For large organizations with broad business offerings beyond those of SecureWorks’ products and services (such as IBM and Verizon), the definition of Direct Competitor is intended to refer to a competing business unit (or units) within such company, and excludes other business units within any such company that do not directly compete with SecureWorks’ products and services so long as Executive does not provide direct support or consultation to the competing business unit (or units). In addition, under paragraph 5 of that agreement, Executive will be able to request that the restrictions be modified by SecureWorks to allow him to accept a position with a company that might otherwise be prohibited.
12.Non-disparagement.
a.
Executive. Executive agrees that, except as may be required by law or court order Executive will not, directly or indirectly, make any statement, oral or written, or perform any act or omission which is or could be detrimental in any material respect to the reputation or goodwill of SecureWorks or any other Released Party. Executive understands that Executive’s compliance with a subpoena or other legally compulsive process or Executive’s participation as a witness in any lawsuit will not be a violation of this provision.
b.
Company. In the event SecureWorks is contacted regarding Executive, SecureWorks agrees to follow its policy and only disclose Executive’s dates of employment with SecureWorks and the last position held and will not authorize anyone to make or issue any additional statement, oral or written, which is or could be detrimental in any material respect to the reputation of Executive. Executive understands that SecureWorks’ compliance with a subpoena or other legally compulsive process or its participation in any lawsuit will not be a violation of this provision.
13.Cooperation. Executive agrees that Executive will give SecureWorks Executive’s full cooperation in connection with any claims, lawsuits, or proceedings that relate in any manner to Executive’s conduct or duties at SecureWorks or that are based on facts about which Executive obtained personal knowledge while employed at SecureWorks or is alleged to have such knowledge. In return, SecureWorks agrees to reimburse Executive for direct and reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred with respect to rendering such cooperation unless prohibited by applicable law or rule of ethical or professional conduct.

Exhibit 10.5


Addendum No. 1 to
Amendment No. 1 to
Amended and Restated Reseller Agreement

Dell Inc., for itself and its Subsidiaries other than SecureWorks, Inc., (“Reseller”) and SecureWorks, Inc., for itself and its Subsidiaries (“Spyglass”) hereby enter into this Addendum No. 1 (“Addendum”) as of the date of last signature below (“Addendum Effective Date”) for the purpose of amending Amendment No. 1, dated as of January 23, 2019 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Amended and Restated Reseller Agreement, dated as of October 28, 2015 (as amended to date, the “Reseller Agreement”).

WHEREAS, Dell Marketing LP, a Texas limited partnership, on behalf of Reseller and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than Spyglass) (collectively, “Dell”), Spyglass, and CrowdStrike, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CS”) are parties to an agreement (including any amendments, addenda or riders, the “Tri-Party Agreement”) pursuant to which Dell may sell certain products and services of Spyglass and/or CS (the “Solutions”) to Clients; and

WHEREAS, the Parties entered into Amendment No. 1 to clarify the understandings under the Reseller Agreement with respect to sales of Solutions under the Tri-Party Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and obligations contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

RELATIONSHIP TO AMENDMENT NO. 1. This Addendum forms part of and is incorporated into Amendment No. 1. Amendment No. 1 shall remain in effect and unchanged except to the extent provided in this Addendum. In case of any conflict between this Addendum and Amendment No. 1, the provisions of this Addendum shall control with regard to the subject matter set forth herein.

1. INCORPORATED DEFINITIONS. Unless specifically stated otherwise in this Addendum, all terms defined in the Reseller Agreement shall have the same meaning when used in this Addendum.

2. CHANGES TO AMENDMENT NO. 1. The parties agree to add the following Exhibit as Exhibit 2 to Amendment No. 1:

3. EXHIBIT 2: VENDOR FUNDED HEADCOUNT (“VFH”):

Spyglass and Reseller agree to the following terms which shall govern the application of funding for VFH (“Funds”) under the Reseller Agreement. The terms and conditions governing fiscal year (“FY”) 2020 are set forth in Exhibit 2-A. For the purposes of this Addendum, Dell’s fiscal year 2020 is, Quarter 1 – February 2019 through April 2019, Quarter 2 – May 2019 through July 2019, Quarter 3 – August 2019 through October 2019 and Quarter 4 – November 2019 through January 2020. Future FY VFH exhibits, or intra-year amendments to a FY VFH exhibit, if any, shall be added as new Exhibits, e.g., FY 2021 will be Exhibit 2-B. Each future FY FVH exhibit, or intra-year amendments to a FY VFH exhibit, shall supersede the immediately preceding FY FVH exhibit as of the effective date of such future FY FVH exhibit, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Spyglass agrees to fund $[***] ([***] dollars) per annum to Reseller in FY 2020. In FY 2020, Funds will be remitted in the amount of $[***] in Quarter 1, $[***] in Quarter 2, $[***] in Quarter 3 and $[***] in Quarter 4 according to Section 7 of the Reseller Agreement (Payment Terms). The first installment of $[***] shall commence in Q1FY 2020 which begins on February 2nd, 2019.


 

 



These funds will be entirely applied to VFH and associated travel and expenses. In exchange, approximately 60% of Dell Security Sales Rep’s variable compensation will be weighted toward Spyglass and CrowdStrike Solutions and Services sold pursuant to the Tri-Party Agreement, the intent being to incentivize the sale of these Solutions and Services. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations set forth in this Addendum shall apply only to sales by Reseller's Security Sales team and shall not apply to any other sales by Reseller.
 
The VFH terms for FYs subsequent to FY 2020, including the amount of Funds in relation thereto, shall be agreed by the parties in writing.








































 
         


 



EXHIBIT 2-A:

FY20 Reseller-Spyglass VFH Terms and Conditions:
A. This VFH Program (“Program”) is an agreement related to the sale of Services and Solutions in the Tri-Party Agreement.
B. Reseller and Spyglass shall meet quarterly to assess performance. If both parties desire, they may make changes to the Program if mutual agreement is signed in writing by both parties.
C. The intent of the quarterly performance assessments is to review and track sales performance pursuant to the Tri-Party Agreement. To support these assessments, at least as frequently as once per quarter, Reseller will provide compensation plans (which shall include sales and product modifiers). Spyglass may request related backup documentation relative to Dell’s current or past immediate quarter’s marketing activities. Such a request must be made within 90 days after the conclusion of a fiscal quarter. Such documentation includes compensation plans, sales, product modifiers, and travel expense invoices.
D. The Program cannot be changed without mutual agreement from both parties.
