More importantly, the build-to-order strategy allowed for better manufacturing utilization as well as increasing prices resulting in Non-GAAP gross margins expanding to 30.9% from 26.1% last quarter and 19.5% last year. Manufacturing adjustments made during the downturn is resulting in 30%+ gross margin at 1/3rd lower revenue. This provides strong earnings leverage.
