Executives indicated they anticipate this content to expand on a yearly basis, providing enhanced long-term revenue predictability compared to recent quarters.

Regarding profitability metrics, management highlighted elevated input expenses — including expediting charges and gold pricing — as near-term headwinds. Q3 gross margin guidance holds steady at approximately 44.5%–45.5%.
Inventory levels increased during the quarter, potentially creating margin pressure depending on channel demand dynamics in coming months.
