Compared to the prior quarter, revenue and gross profit were higher, cost of revenue was slightly higher, and gross margin improved. Versus the same quarter last year, revenue was lower, but gross profit was higher and cost of revenue was lower, resulting in a higher gross margin.
Monitor the trend in cost of revenue relative to revenue, as well as the effect of the company's change in accounting for amortization of intangibles, which may affect comparability.
