What the margin says

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

The primary driver of the negative gross margin is that cost of revenue substantially exceeds revenue, and this gap widened in the current quarter relative to both prior periods.

Compared to the preceding quarter, revenue was slightly lower while cost of revenue was higher, leading to a weaker gross profit and a more negative gross margin. Compared to the same quarter one year earlier, revenue was higher but cost of revenue increased even more, resulting in a further weakened gross margin.

Monitor the trajectory of cost of revenue relative to revenue, as the widening gap continues to pressure gross margin.
