Gross margin takeaway
Quarter ended Dec 31, 2025 · FY2025 Q4
Revenue decreased sequentially and year-over-year, while cost of revenue remained high, resulting in a gross loss and a significantly weakened gross margin compared to both prior periods. The negative gross margin reflects that cost of revenue exceeded revenue for the quarter.
- The shift from a positive gross margin in both the preceding quarter and the year-ago quarter to a negative margin is the most notable change, with cost of revenue exceeding revenue.
- Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, revenue was lower and cost of revenue was higher, causing gross profit to turn from positive to negative and gross margin to weaken sharply. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, revenue was also lower while cost of revenue increased, leading to a similar weakening in gross profit and gross margin.

What the margin says
Filing-constrained interpretation of margin direction, comparisons, and what to monitor next.
The shift from a positive gross margin in both the preceding quarter and the year-ago quarter to a negative margin is the most notable change, with cost of revenue exceeding revenue.
Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, revenue was lower and cost of revenue was higher, causing gross profit to turn from positive to negative and gross margin to weaken sharply. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, revenue was also lower while cost of revenue increased, leading to a similar weakening in gross profit and gross margin.
Monitor whether cost of revenue can be reduced in future periods to restore a positive gross margin.
