According to the recent SEC filing, the company achieved a gross margin of $126 million, which is an 88% increase compared to the previous year. Net income reached $117 million, with a record margin of 67%. Adjusted EBITDA also saw significant growth, reaching $121 million at a margin of 69%, up over 2000 basis points year-over-year.
