Gross margin takeaway
Quarter ended Mar 31, 2026 · FY2026 Q1
Revenue declined from the prior quarter but rose compared to the same quarter last year; gross profit followed a similar pattern. Gross margin improved relative to both the preceding quarter and the year-ago period, and the filing notes an increase in operating cash flows from the prior year.
- The most notable observable driver of the margin improvement is the change in the relationship between cost of revenue and revenue. Sequentially, cost of revenue declined at a greater rate than revenue, contributing to the margin expansion.
- Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, gross margin was higher. Compared to the same quarter one year earlier, gross margin was also higher.
