What the margin says
Filing-constrained interpretation of margin direction, comparisons, and what to monitor next.
The strongest observable margin driver is the relationship between revenue and cost of revenue: revenue grew faster than cost of revenue compared to the prior quarter, leading to gross margin improvement.
Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, gross margin was higher. Compared to the same quarter one year earlier, gross margin was lower.
Monitor the trajectory of cost of revenue relative to revenue in upcoming quarters, as its increase from the year-ago period contributed to the gross margin decline.
