Management Discussion
- Revenue increased by $526.0 million, or 48%, in fiscal 2023, compared to fiscal 2022. The increase was driven primarily by an increase in users and sales of additional subscriptions to existing customers, which contributed $440.6 million in additional revenue. The remainder of the increase was primarily attributable to the addition of new customers, as we increased our customer base by 14%.
- Cost of revenue increased by $120.6 million, or 50%, in fiscal 2023, compared to fiscal 2022. The overall increase was driven primarily by the expanded use of our cloud platform by existing and new customers, which led to an increase of $68.2 million for data center and equipment related costs for hosting and operating our cloud platform. Additionally, our employee-related expenses increased by $41.8 million, inclusive of an increase of $15.3 million in stock-based compensation expense, driven primarily by a 25% increase in headcount in our customer support and cloud operations organizations. The remainder of the increase was primarily attributable to increased expenses of $7.4 million in facility and IT services.
- Gross margin remained flat at 78% for fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 as our cost of providing our services were proportionately offset by growth in our revenue.
