What the margin says

The margin change was driven by the relationship between revenue and cost of revenue: revenue rose sequentially but cost of revenue rose more, while year-over-year revenue fell much more than cost of revenue.

Sequentially, gross margin weakened as revenue growth was outpaced by cost of revenue growth. Year-over-year, gross margin weakened considerably as revenue fell while cost of revenue declined only modestly.

Monitor the trend in cost of revenue relative to revenue, as it has been the key factor in margin compression.
