We recognize cost of revenue in the same manner that the related revenue is recognized.

Cost of product revenue consists primarily of costs paid to third party manufacturers, labor costs, shipping costs, amortization expense related to internal-use software, and stock-based compensation expense.

Cost of subscription revenue consists primarily of labor costs, shipping costs, amortization expense related to internal-use software, depreciation expense related to leased units, and stock-based compensation expense.

Our gross profit is calculated based on the difference between our revenues and cost of revenues. Gross margin is the percentage obtained by dividing gross profit by our revenue. Our gross profit and gross margin are, or may be, influenced by a number of factors, including:

• Market conditions that may impact our pricing;

• Product mix changes between established products and new products;

• Our cost structure for manufacturing operations, including contract

manufacturers, relative to volume, and our product support obligations;

• Our ability to maintain our costs on the components that go into the
