Gross margin takeaway

Quarter ended Jun 30, 2023 · FY2023 Q2

Revenue and gross profit both declined compared with the prior quarter and the same quarter last year, while cost of revenue increased relative to both periods. As a result, gross margin weakened sequentially and year-over-year.

  • The most observable driver of the margin change is the relationship between cost of revenue and revenue: cost of revenue rose while revenue fell, causing gross profit to contract more than proportionally.
  • Compared with the immediately preceding quarter, revenue was slightly lower, gross profit was lower, and cost of revenue was higher, leading to a weaker gross margin. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, revenue and gross profit were lower, cost of revenue was higher, and gross margin was also weaker.

What the margin says

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

The most observable driver of the margin change is the relationship between cost of revenue and revenue: cost of revenue rose while revenue fell, causing gross profit to contract more than proportionally.

Compared with the immediately preceding quarter, revenue was slightly lower, gross profit was lower, and cost of revenue was higher, leading to a weaker gross margin. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, revenue and gross profit were lower, cost of revenue was higher, and gross margin was also weaker.

Monitor the trend in cost of revenue, as its increase relative to revenue was the primary observable factor in the margin decline.
