Gross margin takeaway

Quarter ended Sep 30, 2023 · FY2023 Q3

Revenue remained stable compared to the prior quarter, but gross profit decreased and cost of revenue increased, resulting in a lower gross margin. Compared to the same quarter one year earlier, revenue, gross profit, and gross margin all decreased, while cost of revenue stayed relatively unchanged.

  • The gross margin weakened sequentially, as the increase in cost of revenue outpaced the flat revenue, reducing gross profit. On a year-over-year basis, the decline in gross profit and margin was driven by lower revenue while cost of revenue remained at a similar level.
  • Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, gross margin was lower, driven by a slight increase in cost of revenue and a decrease in gross profit. Versus the same quarter a year ago, revenue, gross profit, and gross margin were all lower, while cost of revenue was similar.
