IDEXX's gross margins are structurally challenged by the mix of products sold. A higher proportion of one-time, non-recurring instrument sales compared to recurring, high-margin consumables can compress overall profitability in a given period.
Filing excerpt
Our recurring revenues, most prominently IDEXX VetLab consumables and rapid assay test kits, have significantly higher gross margins than those provided by our instrument sales. Therefore, the sales mix of recurring and non-recurring revenues in a particular period will impact our gross margins.
