Gross margin takeaway
Quarter ended Apr 1, 2023 · FY2023 Q3
Revenue decreased compared to both the prior quarter and the same quarter last year, while cost of revenue also fell from the prior quarter but rose year over year. The larger decline in revenue relative to cost changes resulted in a weaker gross margin compared to both periods.
- The primary observable driver is the disproportionate decline in revenue relative to cost of revenue, which compressed gross margin. The year-over-year increase in cost of revenue despite lower revenue further pressured profitability.
- Compared to the preceding quarter, gross margin weakened as revenue decreased more rapidly than cost of revenue. Against the same quarter one year earlier, gross margin also weakened, driven by both lower revenue and higher cost of revenue.
