What the margin says
Filing-constrained interpretation of margin direction, comparisons, and what to monitor next.
The strongest observable driver of gross margin improvement is the relationship between revenue growth and cost of revenue growth. Revenue increased more than cost of revenue, leading to a higher gross margin.
Sequentially, revenue increased while gross profit was stable, resulting in a slightly improved gross margin. Year-over-year, revenue and gross profit both increased, and gross margin improved.
Monitor cost of revenue trends, as the company's filing notes risks from supply chain disruption and inflationary pressures that could affect costs.
