Gross margin takeaway
Quarter ended Apr 30, 2025 · FY2025 Q2
Revenue, cost of revenue, and gross profit all increased compared with the prior quarter and the same quarter last year. Despite gross profit growing at a slightly slower rate than revenue, gross margin remained relatively stable, narrowing only marginally from both comparison periods.
- Revenue growth was the primary observable driver of gross profit expansion, as cost of revenue rose less rapidly than revenue both sequentially and year-over-year. This allowed gross profit to increase while gross margin held largely steady.
- Sequentially, revenue increased while cost of revenue rose at a slightly faster pace, causing gross margin to edge lower. Compared with the same quarter one year earlier, revenue and gross profit were higher, and gross margin improved modestly.

What the margin says
Filing-constrained interpretation of margin direction, comparisons, and what to monitor next.
Revenue growth was the primary observable driver of gross profit expansion, as cost of revenue rose less rapidly than revenue both sequentially and year-over-year. This allowed gross profit to increase while gross margin held largely steady.
Sequentially, revenue increased while cost of revenue rose at a slightly faster pace, causing gross margin to edge lower. Compared with the same quarter one year earlier, revenue and gross profit were higher, and gross margin improved modestly.
Monitor the relationship between revenue and cost of revenue growth rates, as a continued narrowing of the gap could pressure gross margin.
