What the margin says

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

The net improvement in gross margin from the preceding quarter was driven by a larger decline in cost of revenue relative to the decline in revenue. This helped reduce the gross loss, although the margin remained negative.

Compared to the preceding quarter, revenue was slightly lower and cost of revenue was lower, leading to a smaller gross loss and a higher gross margin. Compared to the same quarter one year earlier, revenue was higher but cost of revenue increased more sharply, resulting in a larger gross loss and a lower gross margin.

Monitor the trajectory of cost of revenue relative to revenue, as cost of revenue increased at a faster pace year-over-year, widening the gross loss.
