Gross margin takeaway

Quarter ended Mar 31, 2025 · FY2025 Q1

Revenue and cost of revenue both increased compared to the previous quarter, but gross profit grew more, leading to an improved gross margin. Compared to the same quarter last year, revenue was stable while cost of revenue was lower, resulting in higher gross profit and an improved gross margin.

  • The strongest observable margin driver is the change in cost of revenue relative to revenue. Sequentially, cost of revenue increased at a slower pace than revenue, and year-over-year, cost of revenue decreased while revenue remained steady, both contributing to margin expansion.
  • Current quarter gross margin improved compared to both the immediately preceding quarter and the same quarter one year earlier. The improvement was driven by a more favorable relationship between revenue and cost of revenue.

What the margin says

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

The strongest observable margin driver is the change in cost of revenue relative to revenue. Sequentially, cost of revenue increased at a slower pace than revenue, and year-over-year, cost of revenue decreased while revenue remained steady, both contributing to margin expansion.

Current quarter gross margin improved compared to both the immediately preceding quarter and the same quarter one year earlier. The improvement was driven by a more favorable relationship between revenue and cost of revenue.
