What the margin says
Filing-constrained interpretation of margin direction, comparisons, and what to monitor next.
The gross margin weakened sequentially and year-over-year, driven by a proportionally larger decline in gross profit relative to revenue. The cost of revenue decreased less than revenue on a sequential basis, compressing margin.
Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, revenue, gross profit, and cost of revenue were all lower, and gross margin declined. Compared to the same quarter one year earlier, revenue was slightly higher but gross profit was lower, and gross margin weakened.
Monitor the trajectory of cost of revenue relative to revenue, as its slower decline sequentially contributed to margin compression.
