Blended gross margins remained strong at 68%, while gross margins of Enterprise subscription technologies, including retail revenues, also remained strong at 82%.

Continued scaling of the business model, as the sequential reduction in the company's operating loss of $1.3 million equated to the sequential increase in revenues.

"Red Hat continues to show strong operating performance, including solid growth in cash flows, deferred revenues, and net income, which translates into continued leverage of our business model," stated Kevin Thompson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
