What the margin says
Filing-constrained interpretation of margin direction, comparisons, and what to monitor next.
The most observable driver of margin improvement is the combination of higher revenue and lower cost of revenue, which together expanded gross profit at a faster rate than revenue growth.
Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, gross margin strengthened as revenue rose and cost of revenue fell. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, gross margin also improved, driven by a larger increase in gross profit relative to revenue.
Monitor whether the trend of declining cost of revenue can be sustained while revenue continues to grow.
