Quarter ended Mar 31, 2023 · FY2023 Q1

Revenue increased compared to both the prior quarter and the same quarter last year, while gross profit rose year over year but fell sequentially. The gross margin weakened from the preceding quarter and also declined relative to the year-ago period, as cost of revenue grew at a faster pace than revenue.

  • The gross margin decline was driven by a larger increase in cost of revenue relative to revenue when compared with both the prior quarter and the year-ago quarter.
  • Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, revenue was higher but gross profit was lower, resulting in a weakened gross margin. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, both revenue and gross profit were higher, yet gross margin was lower.

What the margin says

Filing-constrained interpretation of margin direction, comparisons, and what to monitor next.

The gross margin decline was driven by a larger increase in cost of revenue relative to revenue when compared with both the prior quarter and the year-ago quarter.

Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, revenue was higher but gross profit was lower, resulting in a weakened gross margin. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, both revenue and gross profit were higher, yet gross margin was lower.

Monitor the trend in cost of revenue relative to revenue, as its faster growth has compressed gross margin in the current quarter.
