  • Revenue grew faster than cost of revenue relative to both the prior quarter and the year-ago period, which lifted gross profit and expanded gross margin. The strongest observable driver was the divergence between revenue growth and cost of revenue growth.
  • Compared with the immediately preceding quarter, gross margin improved, driven by higher revenue and gross profit with a relatively smaller increase in cost of revenue. Relative to the same quarter one year earlier, gross margin also increased, supported by stronger revenue and gross profit versus cost of revenue growth.

What the margin says

Filing-constrained interpretation of margin direction, comparisons, and what to monitor next.

Revenue grew faster than cost of revenue relative to both the prior quarter and the year-ago period, which lifted gross profit and expanded gross margin. The strongest observable driver was the divergence between revenue growth and cost of revenue growth.

Compared with the immediately preceding quarter, gross margin improved, driven by higher revenue and gross profit with a relatively smaller increase in cost of revenue. Relative to the same quarter one year earlier, gross margin also increased, supported by stronger revenue and gross profit versus cost of revenue growth.

Monitor whether revenue growth continues to outpace cost of revenue growth in future quarters, as this relationship directly drives gross margin direction.
