The full-year revenue midpoint rises $33 million, or 2.3%, to $1.498 billion, and the operating income midpoint rises $30.5 million, or 23.5%, to $160.5 million. At the midpoints, that implies a 10.7% operating margin, against 8.9% in the prior outlook. The fourth-quarter revenue midpoint of $403 million is 3.3% above the $390 million estimate.

  • Gross margin. Whether non-GAAP gross margin stays near 82% after the 400 basis point decline from a year earlier.
