June in one page: growth held, margin slipped, cash is fine
- Revenue $412K +6% vs May
- Gross margin 58% down 2 pts
- Cash runway 4.1 months steady
What happened
Revenue landed at $412K, up 6% on May and 11% on last June. Growth came from the two largest service lines; the third shrank for the second straight month. Gross margin gave back two points, and all of it traces to one line: subcontractor cost on the largest jobs, which ran 9% over the rate you priced in January.
Why it matters
At this pace the margin slip costs roughly $8K a month, which is most of what the new hire was budgeted to cost. Fix the subcontractor rate or reprice the affected jobs and the hire pays for itself. Ignore it and Q3 gets tight without anything feeling wrong day to day.
What to do about it
Three decisions this month, in priority order. First, reprice the two open bids that still carry the January rate...
