Gross margin takeaway

Quarter ended Sep 30, 2024 · FY2024 Q3

Revenue rose sequentially and year-over-year, while cost of revenue increased at a slightly faster pace than gross profit relative to the prior year. As a result, gross margin weakened compared to the same quarter one year earlier, though it remained largely stable from the preceding quarter.

  • Gross profit increased both sequentially and year-over-year, supported by higher revenue, but cost of revenue grew at a proportionally faster rate year-over-year, compressing the margin.
  • Compared to the prior quarter, revenue and gross profit were both higher, and gross margin was essentially unchanged. Versus the same quarter last year, revenue and gross profit were higher, but gross margin was lower, reflecting a greater rise in cost of revenue.

What the margin says

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

Gross profit increased both sequentially and year-over-year, supported by higher revenue, but cost of revenue grew at a proportionally faster rate year-over-year, compressing the margin.

Compared to the prior quarter, revenue and gross profit were both higher, and gross margin was essentially unchanged. Versus the same quarter last year, revenue and gross profit were higher, but gross margin was lower, reflecting a greater rise in cost of revenue.

Monitor the trend in cost of revenue relative to revenue, as its faster year-over-year growth rate contributed to the margin decline.
