Gross margin takeaway
Quarter ended Mar 31, 2025 · FY2025 Q1
Revenue decreased from the prior quarter but increased compared to the same quarter last year. Gross profit declined sequentially, yet it turned positive versus the negative gross profit a year earlier, resulting in a gross margin that weakened from the prior quarter but improved year over year.
- The strongest observable margin driver is the shift from a negative gross profit in the year-ago quarter to a positive gross profit this quarter, as revenue exceeded cost of revenue. This change is the primary factor behind the improved gross margin relative to the same quarter last year.
- Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, revenue and gross profit were lower, while cost of revenue also decreased but at a smaller proportion, leading to a weakened gross margin. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, revenue and gross profit were higher, and cost of revenue increased, but the gross margin improved from negative to positive.

Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, revenue and gross profit were lower, while cost of revenue also decreased but at a smaller proportion, leading to a weakened gross margin. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, revenue and gross profit were higher, and cost of revenue increased, but the gross margin improved from negative to positive.
