The increase in revenue compared to the prior quarter is primarily due to an increase in average revenue per release due to the mix of releases disseminated as well as an increase in revenue from our webcasting business. · Gross Margin - Gross margin for Q4 2025 was $4.5M, or 77% of revenue, compared to $4.4M, or 75% of revenue, in Q4 2024 and $4.3M, also 75% of revenue in Q3 2025.
