Gross margin takeaway
Quarter ended Sep 30, 2024 · FY2025 Q1

- The strongest observable margin driver is the increase in cost of revenue relative to revenue. Cost of revenue rose while revenue declined sequentially, and increased more than revenue year-over-year, pressuring gross margin.
- Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, gross margin weakened due to a combination of lower revenue and higher cost of revenue. Compared to the same quarter one year earlier, gross margin also weakened, as revenue increased but cost of revenue increased to a greater extent.

What the margin says
Filing-constrained interpretation of margin direction, comparisons, and what to monitor next.
The strongest observable margin driver is the increase in cost of revenue relative to revenue. Cost of revenue rose while revenue declined sequentially, and increased more than revenue year-over-year, pressuring gross margin.
Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, gross margin weakened due to a combination of lower revenue and higher cost of revenue. Compared to the same quarter one year earlier, gross margin also weakened, as revenue increased but cost of revenue increased to a greater extent.
Monitor the trend of cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue, as it has risen relative to both the prior quarter and the year-ago quarter.
