Management is still prioritizing R&D-heavy investment, with research and development at 83.2% of revenue.
Execution
Gross profit margin remains very strong at 116.3%, indicating the core economics of the product remain favorable.
Operating performance is still deeply negative, with operating margin at -92.7% and operating cash flow margin at -81.3%.
Working capital remains positive at $357.4M, but the cash conversion cycle is still unfavorable at -87.7 days.
