Gross margin takeaway
Quarter ended Jun 30, 2024 · FY2024 Q2
Revenue grew from the prior quarter and year-ago period, while gross profit rose sequentially but fell year-over-year. Cost of revenue increased in both comparisons, with gross margin improving slightly from the prior quarter but declining compared to the same quarter last year.
- The sequential improvement in gross margin was driven by revenue growth outpacing cost increases, while the year-over-year decline reflects higher cost growth relative to revenue. The filing notes risks related to lower-than-anticipated electric vehicle volumes and a planned transition to a greater mix of electric vehicles, which may be influencing margins.
- Compared to the prior quarter, revenue and gross profit both increased, and gross margin improved slightly. Compared to the same quarter a year ago, revenue increased but gross profit decreased, and gross margin weakened.
