- Gross margin expansion is attributed to lower indirect costs, partially offset by higher component costs.

- SG&A expense growth is driven by higher professional fees, credit card processing fees from webstore sales, employee-related expenses, and provisions for credit losses, partially offset by lower marketing expenses.
