- The most observable driver was the change in cost of revenue: compared to the prior quarter, cost of revenue increased while revenue held flat, directly compressing gross margin. Year over year, cost of revenue grew less than gross profit, supporting margin expansion.
- Gross margin weakened sequentially, as gross profit declined despite stable revenue. Compared to the same quarter last year, gross margin improved, driven by a larger increase in gross profit relative to revenue.
