The trademarks included herein are the property of the owners thereof and are used for reference purposes only. Such use should
not be construed as an endorsement of the platform and products of Samsara.
This presentation also includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which have not been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to,
and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of
limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other
companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all
of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. Please see the Appendix for
reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP equivalents.
Our adjusted revenue is defined as revenue excluding the impact of an additional week of revenue in Q4 FY24 by multiplying Q4
FY24 revenue by 13/14. Since our Q4 FY24 was a 14-week fiscal quarter instead of a typical 13-week fiscal quarter, we believe
that adjusted revenue and adjusted revenue growth rate enable comparability across periods. Our non-GAAP gross profit is
defined as gross profit excluding the effect of stock-based compensation expense-related charges, including the amortization of
deferred stock-based compensation expense for capitalized software and employer taxes on employee equity transactions,
included in cost of revenue and non-GAAP gross margin is defined as non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of total revenue.
We believe that non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin provide useful information to our management and investors
and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of operations. We define
non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, and non-GAAP general and
administrative expense as sales and marketing expense, research and development expense, and general and administrative
expense, respectively, excluding the effect of stock-based compensation expense-related charges, including employer taxes on
employee equity transactions. Non-GAAP sales and marketing margin, non-GAAP research and development margin, and
non-GAAP general and administrative margin are defined as non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and
development expense, and non-GAAP general and administrative expense, respectively, as a percentage of total revenue.
Non-GAAP operating income (loss) is defined as income (loss) from operations excluding the effect of stock-based
compensation expense-related charges, including the amortization of deferred stock-based compensation expense for
capitalized software and employer taxes on employee equity transactions, lease modification, impairment, and related charges,
and legal settlements. Non-GAAP operating margin is defined as non-GAAP operating income (loss) as a percentage of total
revenue. We believe that non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP operating income (loss) provide our management and
investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of
operations. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities reduced by cash used for purchases
of property and equipment. Free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow as a percentage of total revenue. Adjusted free
cash flow is defined as free cash flow excluding the cash impact of non-recurring capital expenditures associated with the
build-out of our corporate office facilities in San Francisco, California, net of tenant allowances, and legal settlements. Adjusted
free cash flow margin is calculated as adjusted free cash flow as a percentage of total revenue. We believe that these measures
are useful in evaluating liquidity and provide information to management and investors about our ability to fund future operating
needs and strategic initiatives by excluding the impact of non-recurring events.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance financial measures to corresponding GAAP guidance financial measures is not available
on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and potential variability of expenses, such as
stock-based compensation expense-related charges and timing of capital expenditures, that may be incurred in the future and
cannot be reasonably determined or predicted at this time. It is important to note that these factors could be material to our
results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP.
Disclaimer and Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and

and expand the Applications used by our customers, our ability to attract new customers, our future financial performance,
including trends in revenue and annual recurring revenue (“ARR”), annual contract value (“ACV”), net retention rate, costs of
revenue, gross profit or gross margin, operating expenses, customer counts, non-GAAP financial measures (such as adjusted
revenue, adjusted revenue growth rate, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, free cash flow, adjusted free cash
flow, and adjusted free cash flow margin), our ability to achieve or maintain profitability, the demand for our products or for
solutions for connected operations in general, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, geopolitical tensions involving China, the conflict in
Israel and Gaza, the emergence of pandemics and epidemics, and other macroeconomic conditions globally on our and our
customers’, partners’ and suppliers’ operations and future financial performance, possible harm caused by silicon component
shortages and other supply chain constraints, the length of our sales cycles, possible harm caused by a security breach or
other incident affecting our or our customers’ assets or data, our ability to compete successfully in competitive markets, our
ability to respond to rapid technological changes, and our ability to continue to innovate and develop new Applications. The
forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those

Annual Contract Value (ACV)
We define ACV as the annualized value of a customer's total contract value for
Samsara products as of the measurement date.
Net New ACV (NN ACV)
Net New ACV is calculated as the incremental annual contract value, through upsells,
cross-sells or new business, that is recognized in a given reporting period and was
not present as of the beginning of the reporting period.
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)
We define ARR as the annualized value of subscription contracts that have
commenced revenue recognition as of the measurement date.
Net New ARR (NN ARR)
Net New ARR is calculated as the difference between the annualized value of
subscription contracts that have commenced revenue recognition as of the end of
the reporting period and the annualized value of subscription contracts that have
commenced revenue recognition as of the end of the prior reporting period.
Adjusted Revenue / Adjusted Revenue Growth Rate
Q4 FY24 was a 14-week fiscal quarter instead of a typical 13-week fiscal quarter. To
enable comparability across periods, adjusted revenue and adjusted revenue growth
rate are calculated by multiplying Q4 FY24 revenue by 13/14 to remove the impact of
an additional week of revenue in Q4 FY24.
Customer
We define a customer as an entity that has an ARR of greater than $1,000 at the end
of a reporting period.
Definitions / Methodology
Core Customer
We define a core customer as an entity that has an ARR of greater than $10,000 at
the end of a reporting period.
Large Customer
We define a large customer as an entity that has an ARR of greater than $100,000
at the end of a reporting period.
Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate
We calculate our dollar-based net retention rate as of a period end by starting with
the ARR from the specified cohort of customers as of 12 months prior to such
period-end, or the Prior Period ARR. We then calculate the ARR from these same
customers as of the current period-end, or the Current Period ARR. Current Period
ARR includes any expansion, and is net of contraction or attrition over the last 12
months, but excludes ARR from new customers in the current period, as well as
any ARR associated with paid trials. We then divide the total Current Period ARR
by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the point-in-time dollar-based net
retention rate. We then calculate the weighted average of the trailing 12-month
point-in-time dollar-based net retention rates to arrive at the dollar-based net
retention rate.
In calculating the dollar-based net retention rate for core customers and for
$100K+ ARR customers, we look at the cohort of customers with a Prior Period
ARR greater than $0 who have met or exceeded $10,000 ARR in the case of core
customers, or $100,000 ARR in the case of $100K+ ARR customers, during their
lifetime as a Samsara customer.
