The company has no debt. Total assets were $2.3 billion, with stockholders' equity of $1.3 billion. Inventories increased to $55.0 million from $38.9 million at fiscal year-end, driven by a rise in finished goods. Connected device costs (current and non-current) grew to $393.6 million, reflecting continued investment in hardware deployed with subscriptions.

Deferred revenue totaled $754.7 million. Operating lease liabilities were $75.6 million, with future minimum lease payments of $87.3 million through 2031 and thereafter. The company had $15.8 million in letters of credit outstanding.

Capital expenditures (property and equipment purchases) totaled $20.7 million for the nine months ended November 1, 2025, representing 1.8% of revenue. Internal-use software costs capitalized were $22.2 million. The company's primary capital allocation is reinvestment in the business, as evidenced by growth in connected device costs and deferred commissions.

Segment / Geographic Mix (if disclosed at note level)

Samsara operates as a single reportable segment. The CODM uses consolidated operating loss and net income to evaluate performance. For the nine months ended November 1, 2025, subscription revenue was $1,151.6 million (98.1% of total revenue) and other revenue was $22.7 million. Geographically, the United States contributed $1,007.2 million (85.8% of revenue), while other countries accounted for $167.1 million. No individual country other than the U.S. exceeded 10% of total revenue. Long-lived assets (property, equipment, and operating lease ROU assets) were concentrated in the U.S. at $130.6 million.

Cash Flow Quality

Cash Flow Quality

For the nine months ended November 1, 2025, Samsara reported a net loss of $31.2M, a significant improvement from a net loss of $143.7M in the prior-year period. Operating cash flow (CFO) was $166.5M, more than double the $77.8M reported a year ago, reflecting strong cash generation relative to net income. The primary driver was stock-based compensation expense of $236.1M (up from $208.9M), along with favorable working capital changes, particularly a $65.8M increase in deferred revenue and a $5.6M decrease in prepaid expenses.

Capital expenditures (capex) totaled $20.7M, up from $14.8M, representing a capex intensity of approximately 12.4% of CFO. Free cash flow (not explicitly stated) would be CFO less capex, or roughly $145.8M. The company did not repurchase shares or pay dividends during the period.

Investing activities consumed $134.7M, driven by net purchases of investments ($112.8M net of maturities and sales). Financing activities provided $17.9M, primarily from equity compensation plan proceeds. Overall, cash and restricted cash increased by $50.6M to $296.4M. No unusual one-time items were noted; the cash flow profile reflects a maturing business with improving operating leverage and continued investment in growth.
