Filing receipts
“Service gross margin increased 0.3 percentage points during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by service revenue growth outpacing labor costs increase, partially offset by increased costs related to the continued expansion of our data center and cloud services.”
