Revenue increased compared with both the prior quarter and the same quarter one year earlier, while gross profit was higher than the prior quarter but unchanged from a year ago. Cost of revenue rose relative to both periods, and gross margin weakened slightly versus both the prior quarter and the year-ago quarter.

  • Gross profit grew at a slower pace than revenue when compared with the prior quarter, and was flat year over year despite higher revenue, indicating that cost of revenue absorbed a larger share of sales. The strongest observable driver is the relationship between revenue growth and cost growth, with cost increasing more than revenue on a sequential basis.
