Revenue decreased from the preceding quarter but increased compared to the same quarter a year earlier.

- The strongest observable driver of the gross margin change was the relative movement of cost of revenue compared to revenue. Sequentially, cost of revenue declined less than revenue, and year-over-year, cost of revenue increased more than revenue, directly compressing the margin.
- Compared to the preceding quarter, gross margin weakened as revenue declined more sharply than cost of revenue. Compared to the same quarter a year earlier, gross margin also weakened as revenue growth was outpaced by a larger increase in cost of revenue.

What the margin says
Filing-constrained interpretation of margin direction, comparisons, and what to monitor next.
The strongest observable driver of the gross margin change was the relative movement of cost of revenue compared to revenue. Sequentially, cost of revenue declined less than revenue, and year-over-year, cost of revenue increased more than revenue, directly compressing the margin.
Compared to the preceding quarter, gross margin weakened as revenue declined more sharply than cost of revenue. Compared to the same quarter a year earlier, gross margin also weakened as revenue growth was outpaced by a larger increase in cost of revenue.
Monitor the trend in the relationship between revenue growth and cost of revenue growth, as the margin compression was associated with faster cost increases relative to revenue.
