Quarter ended Jun 30, 2023 · FY2023 Q2

This quarter, revenue increased compared to the immediately preceding quarter, but gross profit declined, causing gross margin to weaken. Compared to the same quarter one year ago, revenue was lower, gross profit was lower, yet gross margin improved due to cost of revenue declining more as a share of revenue.

  • Gross margin weakened sequentially as cost of revenue increased more than proportionally to the rise in revenue. On a year-over-year basis, the margin strengthened because the decline in cost of revenue was proportionally greater than the decline in revenue.
  • Sequentially, revenue was higher, but cost of revenue was also higher and grew faster, resulting in a lower gross profit and a weakened gross margin. Year-over-year, revenue and gross profit were both lower, but gross margin improved because cost of revenue fell as a larger share of total revenue.
