Gross margin takeaway
Quarter ended Jun 30, 2023 · FY2023 Q2
In the current quarter, revenue decreased compared to both the prior quarter and the same quarter last year, but gross profit improved sequentially due to a larger decline in cost of revenue. Gross margin strengthened significantly from both comparison periods, reflecting a more favorable relationship between cost of revenue and revenue.
- The most notable driver of margin improvement was the reduction in cost of revenue, which fell more sharply than revenue, resulting in higher gross profit despite lower sales.
- Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, revenue was lower while gross profit was higher, leading to an improved gross margin. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, both revenue and gross profit were lower, but the decline in cost of revenue was proportionally greater, resulting in a higher gross margin.
