Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases—The Company leases its facilities for office space under non-cancelable operating leases with various expiration dates through fiscal 2039. Certain lease agreements include options to renew or terminate the lease, which are not reasonably certain to be exercised and therefore are not factored into the determination of lease payments.

During the nine months ended October 31, 2025, the Company recognized impairment charges of $87.9 million for operating lease right-of-use assets, and $20.8 million for property and equipment, net, primarily relating to the cease-use of its San Mateo office facility. These impairment charges represent the amounts by which the carrying values of the asset groups exceeded their estimated fair values, and were recorded as general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The fair values of the impaired asset groups were estimated using discounted cash flow models (income approach) based on market participant assumptions, including the expected downtime prior to the commencement of future subleases, projected sublease income over the remaining lease periods, and discount rates to reflect the level of risk associated with receiving future cash flows. These assumptions are classified within Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the impaired asset groups are not material.

As of October 31, 2025, the Company had committed $72.3 million for leases signed but not yet commenced based on the exchange rate as of October 31, 2025. These leases will commence on various dates starting in fiscal 2026 with lease terms ranging from 5.3 years to 9.1 years.

In addition, the Company subleases certain of its unoccupied facilities to third parties with various expiration dates through fiscal 2033. Such subleases have all been classified as operating leases. Sublease income is recorded as a reduction to the Company’s operating lease costs. Sublease income was not material for any of the periods presented.
Other Contractual Commitments—Other contractual commitments relate mainly to third-party cloud infrastructure agreements and subscription arrangements used to facilitate the Company’s operations at the enterprise level. There were no material contractual obligations that were entered into during the nine months ended October 31, 2025 that were outside the ordinary course of business.

In November 2025, the Company amended one of its third-party cloud infrastructure agreements effective November 1, 2025 (November 2025 Amendment). Under the amended agreement, the Company has committed to spend at least $530.0 million between November 2025 and October 2030 on cloud infrastructure services with no minimum purchase commitment during any year. The Company is required to pay the difference if it fails to meet the minimum purchase commitment as of October 2030. Up to $100.0 million of such payments can be applied to qualifying spending on cloud infrastructure services for up to one year after October 2030, subject to certain conditions. The Company is no longer required to fulfill the remaining non-cancelable purchase commitment under the agreement prior to the November 2025 Amendment, which totaled $171.3 million as of October 31, 2025.

In November 2025, the Company renewed and expanded its agreement with a third-party AI service provider to support the Company’s AI products. Under the renewal agreement, the Company has committed to spend an aggregate of at least $200.0 million over a three-year contract term that began in December 2025 ($50.0 million, $70.0 million and $80.0 million for the contract years ending November 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively). Services accessed through certain public cloud providers may be applied toward the Company’s contractual spend commitments under this renewal agreement. The Company is required to pay the difference if it fails to meet the minimum purchase commitment during any contract year.

401(k) Plan—The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering all eligible U.S. employees. Contributions to the 401(k) plan are discretionary. The Company did not make any matching contributions to the 401(k) plan for each of the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024.

Legal Matters—On March 23, 2021, a former employee filed a charge with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) claiming that he was terminated in retaliation for engaging in concerted activity protected under the National Labor Relations Act. On September 15, 2023, following a hearing before a NLRB administrative law judge, the administrative law judge issued his ruling in favor of the former employee and ordered that he be awarded certain compensatory and other damages. The Company is appealing the ruling to the Board of the NLRB. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that a loss could ultimately result from an unfavorable outcome and that an estimate of the potential range of loss is between zero and $25 million, plus interest. No material loss accrual was recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, because management believes the likelihood of material loss resulting from this charge is not probable given the further appellate proceedings that are due to take place.

On February 29, 2024, a stockholder class action lawsuit was filed against the Company, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer in the United States District Court in the Northern District of California, alleging violations under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages, attorneys’ fees, expert fees, and other costs. On October 28, 2024, an amended complaint was filed by the lead plaintiff. On December 23, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On January 29, 2025, the lead plaintiff informed the Company that it would seek leave to file a second amended complaint rather than respond to the motion to dismiss. On April 7, 2025, the lead plaintiff filed its second amended complaint. On June 6, 2025, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. On August 5, 2025, the lead plaintiff filed its opposition to the motion to dismiss. On September 19, 2025, the Company filed its reply brief in support of its motion to dismiss. Oral argument on the motion to dismiss is scheduled for December 11, 2025. In addition, since the filing of the class action lawsuit, five additional complaints containing securities derivative claims have been filed against the Company and certain of the Company’s directors and executive officers alleging similar violations. The derivative claims have been stayed pending resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss the class action lawsuit. The Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of loss, with respect to these matters at this time. The Company and the other defendants intend to vigorously defend against the claims in these actions.
On June 13, 2024, a class action was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Montana against the Company alleging that the Company failed to take reasonable measures to secure systems that contained consumer data, thereby allowing threat actors to access and exfiltrate personally identifiable information. In the months that followed, numerous additional class actions making the same or similar allegations were filed in the United States and Canada against the Company and/or customers whose consumer or employee data was exfiltrated. Among other claims, the complaints assert common law claims for negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of implied contract, and unjust enrichment, as well as statutory claims, and seek an unspecified amount of damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, as well as injunctive relief. On October 4, 2024, an order was issued by the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation combining the class actions filed in the United States into a multidistrict litigation in the District of Montana. On February 3, 2025, plaintiffs filed their representative complaint on behalf of the consumer plaintiffs. On February 14, 2025, the Court created a separate financial institution track to represent the interests of certain financial institutions (FI Plaintiffs) and ordered that a separate FI Plaintiff representative complaint be filed. On April 7, 2025, an FI Plaintiff representative complaint was filed. On April 14, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a second amended representative complaint on behalf of the consumer plaintiffs. On May 16, 2025, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended representative complaint on behalf of the consumer plaintiffs. On May 20, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a third amended representative complaint that asserted additional claims against the Company on behalf of individuals impacted by the breach of a Snowflake customer account containing personally identifiable information from the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD Claims). On June 26, 2025, the Company moved to dismiss the FI Plaintiff representative complaint. On July 30, 2025, the Company moved to dismiss the LAUSD Claims. On October 28 and 29, 2025, following oral argument, the Court denied the three motions to dismiss. The Company is currently required to file its answers to the complaints on or before December 15, 2025. In addition to the multidistrict litigation, a class action is pending in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. The Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of loss, with respect to these matters at this time. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims in these actions.

On November 21, 2025, a class action lawsuit was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Montana alleging copyright infringement on behalf of a putative class of individuals and entities that own a United States copyright in any work that was allegedly copied, stored, or used without authorization to train our large language model. The complaint seeks an award of statutory and other damages, attorneys’ fees, and all appropriate legal and equitable relief. The Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of loss, with respect to this matter at this time. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims in this action.

In addition, the Company is involved from time to time in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of these matters, the Company believes that none of its current legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Letters of Credit—As of October 31, 2025, the Company had a total of $23.4 million in cash collateralized letters of credit outstanding, substantially in favor of certain landlords for the Company’s leased facilities. These letters of credit renew annually and expire at various dates through fiscal 2033.

Indemnification—The Company enters into indemnification provisions under agreements with other parties in the ordinary course of business, including business partners, investors, contractors, customers, and the Company’s officers, non-employee directors, and certain employees. The Company has agreed to indemnify and defend the indemnified party for claims and related losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party from actual or threatened third-party claims due to the Company’s activities or non-compliance with certain representations and warranties made by the Company. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these indemnification provisions due to the Company’s limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision. For each of the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, losses recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in connection with the indemnification provisions, where the Company is an indemnifying party, were not material.
