Gross margin takeaway

Quarter ended Sep 30, 2023 · FY2023 Q3

Revenue increased compared with both the prior quarter and the same quarter last year. However, cost of revenue also rose, leading to a negative gross profit and a gross margin that weakened sequentially but improved from the prior-year period.

  • The year-over-year improvement in gross margin was driven by revenue growing at a faster pace than cost of revenue. Conversely, the sequential decline resulted from cost of revenue increasing more rapidly than revenue.
  • Compared to the prior quarter, gross margin weakened as the negative margin became more pronounced. Compared to the same quarter last year, gross margin improved as the negative margin narrowed.

What the margin says

Filing-constrained interpretation of margin direction, comparisons, and what to monitor next.

The year-over-year improvement in gross margin was driven by revenue growing at a faster pace than cost of revenue. Conversely, the sequential decline resulted from cost of revenue increasing more rapidly than revenue.

Compared to the prior quarter, gross margin weakened as the negative margin became more pronounced. Compared to the same quarter last year, gross margin improved as the negative margin narrowed.

Monitor the trend in cost of revenue relative to revenue, as the gap between them determines the extent of the negative gross margin.
