- Gross profit increased to $4.46 million, a 17.8% increase from $3.79 million, with gross margin improving to 63.6%, reflecting improved scale and favorable revenue mix.
- The increase in revenue and gross margin was primarily due to disciplined execution and operating leverage across geographies.
