Gross margin takeaway
Quarter ended Sep 30, 2023 · FY2023 Q3
Revenue was slightly higher than both the prior quarter and the same quarter last year, while gross profit improved compared with both periods. Cost of revenue increased sequentially but declined year over year, resulting in a gross margin that strengthened relative to both the previous quarter and the year-ago period.
- The gross margin improved because gross profit grew faster than revenue, while cost of revenue rose less than proportionally compared with the sequential revenue increase. The year-over-year improvement was driven by a decline in cost of revenue alongside revenue that remained stable.
- Compared with the immediately preceding quarter, revenue and gross profit were higher, and cost of revenue was also higher, while gross margin improved. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, revenue was stable, gross profit was higher, cost of revenue was lower, and gross margin improved.

What the margin says
Filing-constrained interpretation of margin direction, comparisons, and what to monitor next.
The gross margin improved because gross profit grew faster than revenue, while cost of revenue rose less than proportionally compared with the sequential revenue increase. The year-over-year improvement was driven by a decline in cost of revenue alongside revenue that remained stable.
Compared with the immediately preceding quarter, revenue and gross profit were higher, and cost of revenue was also higher, while gross margin improved. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, revenue was stable, gross profit was higher, cost of revenue was lower, and gross margin improved.
Monitor the trajectory of cost of revenue, which decreased year over year but increased sequentially, as its relative movement will continue to directly influence gross margin.
