Analysis of third quarter results
Third quarter revenue in the Americas was $332.1 million, an 18 percent increase over the same period of the prior year. This included Brightree revenue of $35.0 million.

Gross margin in the third quarter was 58.3 percent, higher than the prior year’s quarter gross margin of 57.3 percent. The improvement in gross margin compared to prior year’s quarter was due to manufacturing and procurement efficiencies and an incremental contribution from the Brightree acquisition.
