What the margin says
Filing-constrained interpretation of margin direction, comparisons, and what to monitor next.
The strongest observable margin driver is the relationship between revenue and cost of revenue: revenue increased while cost of revenue rose more sharply, compressing gross margin.
Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, gross margin was lower despite higher revenue, as cost of revenue increased at a faster rate. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, gross margin also weakened, with revenue higher but cost of revenue rising more substantially.
Monitor the trajectory of cost of revenue relative to revenue, as its faster growth has been the primary factor behind the margin decline.
