High Gross MarginsSustained gross margins near 72%–77% indicate durable pricing power or low direct costs in the services model. High gross margin provides a structural buffer to absorb SG&A or cyclical downturns, supporting long-term profitability, reinvestment capacity, and dividend sustainability.

Deleveraging enhances resilience to shocks, increases capacity for organic or targeted growth investments, and reduces refinancing risk across the 2–6 month horizon and beyond.

Steady revenue growth supports operating leverage, helps maintain ROE in the mid-teens, and underpins the firm's ability to generate profits and fund strategic initiatives over time.
