Gross margin remains solid at 61.2%, indicating a reasonably efficient core offering.
Profitability
TTM margins remain negative, with operating margin at -8.3% and net margin at -12.4%.

Scalability
Asset turnover is strong at 1.17 and fixed-asset turnover is very high at 20.4, suggesting the business can generate meaningful sales from its asset base.
