The Company has non-cancelable minimum guaranteed purchase commitments for various data, hosting and software services as of January 31, 2025 as follows:
Cash Collateral Agreements
In April 2023, the Company entered into cash collateral agreements with Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First Citizens Bank, in lieu of a letter of credit facility, which are associated with certain leases. Approximately $1.3 million is outstanding on these cash collateral agreements as of January 31, 2025 and 2024, which the Company has therefore classified within restricted cash. As of January 31, 2025, $0.7 million of this restricted cash is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and $0.6 million is recorded within other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of January 31, 2024, all of the restricted cash was recorded within other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets, due to its long-term nature.
Starting in 2023, the Company has entered into cash collateral agreements with J.P. Morgan Bank in lieu of a letter of credit facility, through which approximately $6.9 million and $5.4 million is outstanding as of January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of January 31, 2025, $1.0 million of this restricted cash is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and $5.9 million is recorded within other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of January 31, 2024, all of the restricted cash was recorded within other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets, due to its long-term nature.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company, various subsidiaries, and certain current and former officers may be named as defendants in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings arising from the normal course of business. The Company also may become involved with contract issues and disputes with customers. With respect to litigation in general, based on the Company’s experience, management believes that the amount of damages claimed in a case are not a meaningful indicator of the potential liability. Claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of cases.
The Company makes a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. In management’s opinion, resolution of all current matters is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. However, if an unfavorable ruling were to occur in any specific period, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations for that period. At January 31, 2025, the Company had no provision for liability under existing litigation.
On August 13, 2024, a putative securities class action (the “Securities Action”) was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Boshart v. Sprinklr, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:24-cv-06132, naming the Company and certain of its officers as defendants. On November 22, 2024, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff for the putative class and changed the case title to In re Sprinklr, Inc. Securities Litigation. On January 24, 2025, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint asserting claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, on behalf of a putative class comprised of those who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities between March 29, 2023 and June 5, 2024 (the “Class Period”). The amended complaint alleges that the defendants misled investors during the putative Class Period, including by failing to disclose risks associated with Sprinklr Service, one of its product suites, and that the Company was focusing resources on Sprinklr Service rather than other product suites, and primarily seeks compensatory damages for all affected members of the putative class. On March 17, 2025, the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. Briefing on the motion to dismiss is scheduled to be completed by June 2, 2025. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit. Given the nature of the case, including that the proceedings are in their early stages, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the case or estimate the range of potential loss, if any.
On March 18, 2025, a stockholder derivative action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Coffey v. Thomas, et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-022422-UA. The complaint names the Company as a nominal defendant and purports to bring claims on behalf of the Company against certain of our current and former directors and officers for alleged violations of the federal securities laws and breaches of their fiduciary duties, among other claims, in relation to substantially the same factual allegations as those made in the Securities Action. The complaint primarily seeks to recover for the Company compensatory damages, restitution, and equitable relief in the form of certain corporate governance reforms
Other Contractual Commitments
The Company also has agreements in place related to its operating leases that impact its cash requirements. See Note 8, Leases for additional information.
