What the margin says
Filing-constrained interpretation of margin direction, comparisons, and what to monitor next.
Gross profit grew in absolute terms, but the gross margin percentage declined sequentially because the cost of revenue increased more relative to revenue than it did in the prior quarter. The year-over-year comparison shows gross margin improved as revenue growth outpaced the rise in cost of revenue over the longer period.
Compared to the prior quarter, revenue, gross profit, and cost of revenue were higher while gross margin was slightly lower. Compared to the same quarter one year ago, all four metrics were higher, with gross margin improved.
Monitor whether the trend of cost of revenue increasing at a faster rate than revenue continues, as it may affect the stability of the gross margin.
