Gross margin takeaway
Quarter ended Jul 1, 2023 · FY2023 Q2
Revenue and gross profit both increased compared to the immediately preceding quarter, while cost of revenue rose at a slower rate, leading to an improvement in gross margin. Comparable data from the same quarter one year earlier is not available for gross profit, cost of revenue, or gross margin.
- Revenue grew more than cost of revenue on a sequential basis, which was the primary observable factor behind the gross margin improvement.
- Compared to the preceding quarter, revenue and gross profit were higher, cost of revenue was higher, and gross margin improved. Comparison with the year-ago quarter is limited because gross profit, cost of revenue, and gross margin are missing for that period.

What the margin says
Filing-constrained interpretation of margin direction, comparisons, and what to monitor next.
Revenue grew more than cost of revenue on a sequential basis, which was the primary observable factor behind the gross margin improvement.
Compared to the preceding quarter, revenue and gross profit were higher, cost of revenue was higher, and gross margin improved. Comparison with the year-ago quarter is limited because gross profit, cost of revenue, and gross margin are missing for that period.
Monitor the trajectory of cost of revenue relative to revenue in future quarters to assess whether the margin improvement is sustained.
