Gross margin takeaway

Quarter ended Mar 31, 2023 · FY2023 Q1

Revenue decreased from the prior quarter, while cost of revenue remained relatively stable, resulting in a lower gross profit and a weakened gross margin. Compared to the same quarter one year earlier, revenue increased but cost of revenue increased at a faster pace, leading to a slightly lower gross margin.

  • The relationship between cost of revenue and revenue shifted unfavorably: cost of revenue held steady while revenue fell sequentially, and year-over-year cost of revenue grew more than revenue.
  • Sequentially, gross margin weakened as revenue declined and cost of revenue was nearly flat. Year-over-year, gross margin was slightly lower despite higher revenue, because cost of revenue increased more.
