RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Allocated Expenses

For the periods presented, Dell has provided various corporate services to SecureWorks in the ordinary course of business, including finance, tax, human resources, legal, insurance, IT, procurement and facilities-related services. Dell also has provided SecureWorks with the services of a number of its executives and employees. For the first two quarters of fiscal 2016, the costs of such services were allocated to the Company based on the allocation method most relevant to the service provided, primarily based on relative percentage of total net sales, relative percentage of headcount or specific identification. Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the costs of services provided to SecureWorks by Dell were governed by a shared services agreement between SecureWorks and Dell Inc. or its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The total amount of the charges under the shared services agreement with Dell and allocations from Dell were $1.1 million and $3.8 million for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016, respectively, and $1.5 million and $7.0 million for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2015, respectively. The amounts for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2015 included $0.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of fees for professional services directly related to a legal proceeding discussed in "Note 5—Commitments and Contingencies" that was settled during fiscal year 2016. These cost allocations are reflected primarily within general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Management believes that the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by the Company during the periods presented.

The Company’s historical financial statements do not purport to reflect what the Company's results of operations, financial position, equity, or cash flows would have been if the Company had operated as a stand-alone public company during the periods presented.

Related Party Arrangements

For the periods presented, related party transactions and activities involving Dell 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 certain enterprise hardware systems from Dell and Dell’s wholly-owned subsidiaries in order to provide security solutions to the Company’s clients. For the first two quarters of fiscal 2016, the expenses associated with these transactions reflect Dell’s costs and are included in cost of revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, expenses associated with these transactions are intended to approximate arm’s-length pricing pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated master commercial customer agreement with a subsidiary of Dell Inc. that went into effect on August 1, 2015. Purchases of systems from Dell totaled $0 and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016, respectively, and $4.4 million and $9.7 million for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2015, respectively.

The Company also purchases computer equipment for internal use from Dell that was capitalized within property and equipment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. For the first two quarters of fiscal 2016, these purchases were made at Dell’s cost. Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, these purchases were made at pricing that is intended to approximate arm’s-length pricing. Purchases of computer equipment from Dell totaled $0.2 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016, respectively, and $0.2 million and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2015, respectively.

On September 7, 2016, EMC Corporation (“EMC”), a company that provides enterprise software and storage, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Technologies. EMC maintains a majority ownership interest in a subsidiary, VMware, Inc. (“VMware”), a company that provides cloud and virtualization software and services. The Company's purchases of annual maintenance services for hardware systems for internal use from EMC and VMware under contracts entered into by the Company before Dell acquired EMC, totaled $0.3 million between September 7, 2016 and October 28, 2016. Maintenance expense related to such services by EMC and VMware totaled $0.1 million for the same period.

The Company recognized revenue related to solutions provided to principal stockholders of Dell Technologies consisting of Michael S. Dell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dell Technologies and Dell Inc., the Susan Lieberman Dell Separate Property Trust (a separate property trust for the benefit of Mr. Dell’s wife) and MSD Capital, L.P. (a firm founded for the purposes of managing investments of Mr. Dell and his family). The revenues recognized by the Company from solutions provided to Mr. Dell, the Susan Lieberman Dell Separate Property Trust and MSD Capital totaled $0 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2015, respectively.

The Company provides solutions to certain clients whose legal contractual relationship has historically been with Dell rather than SecureWorks, although the Company is the primary obligor and carries credit and inventory risk in these arrangements. Effective on 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 client contracts were transferred from Dell to the Company, forming a direct legal contractual relationship between the Company and the end client. For clients whose contracts have not yet been transferred, the Company recognized revenues of approximately $10.1 million and $28.8 million for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016, respectively.

As the Company’s client and on behalf of certain of its own clients, Dell also purchases solutions from the Company. Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, in connection with the effective date of the Company’s commercial agreements with Dell, the Company began charging Dell for these services at pricing that is intended to approximate arm’s-length pricing, in lieu of the prior cost recovery arrangement. Such revenues totaled approximately $5.9 million and $15.8 million for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016, respectively, and $3.0 million for the three months ended October 30, 2015.

As a result of the foregoing related party arrangements beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company has recorded the following related party balances in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company began settling in cash its related party balances with Dell resulting in a net intercompany payable at October 28, 2016.

Cash Management

Dell utilizes a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. For the period presented prior to August 1, 2015, Dell funded the Company’s operating and investing activities as needed and transferred the Company’s excess cash at its discretion. This arrangement is not reflective of the manner in which the Company would have been able to finance the Company’s operations had the Company been a stand-alone business separate from Dell during the nine months ended October 30, 2015. Cash transfers to and from Dell’s cash management accounts for the nine months ended October 30, 2015 are reflected within additional paid in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity.
