Product gross profit rose $151.8 million, aided not only by demand but by ongoing manufacturing efficiency and automation initiatives that reduced material, labor, and overhead costs. Management cites enhanced manufacturing processes and increased automation as contributors to improved product margins despite higher product warranty costs. These operational improvements are positioned to partially offset input cost pressures and support scalability for larger projects such as hyperscaler deployments. The improvements likely underpin gross margin expansion in the product segment.
