Traditionally, the company’s revenue growth was primarily driven by high sales and marketing expenses, which were almost 50% of total revenue last year. This is likely to continue this quarter. The company’s non-GAAP Operating Margins have been improving for the past two years, and will likely continue to do so, as evidenced by the company’s full year margin guidance which implies expansion of 125-150 basis points.
