What the margin says

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

The primary driver of gross margin improvement was revenue growth outpacing the increase in cost of revenue. Cost of revenue remained relatively stable while revenue rose significantly.

Compared to the prior quarter, gross margin strengthened due to higher revenue and lower cost of revenue. Versus the same quarter last year, gross margin also improved as revenue growth exceeded cost growth.

Monitor cost of revenue trends, as it increased slightly year-over-year but decreased sequentially, which could impact future margin stability.
