higher Net sales due to higher product shipments during Q2 2024 and higher backlog as of March 31, 2024; and

 

higher Net investment income on investments in U.S. Treasury money market funds due to the repositioning of the portfolio into U.S. Treasury money market funds that occurred during 2023.

Gross margin increased to 59.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 48.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher sales of higher margin products.

higher Net sales driven by operational efficiencies and higher product shipments; and

 

higher Net investment income on investments in U.S. Treasury money market funds due to the repositioning of the portfolio into U.S. Treasury money market funds that occurred during 2023.
