Commercial Segment revenues were approximately 70 percent of total revenues and were down 0.2 percent year-over-year.

The decrease was mainly attributable to revenue declines from Defense and Intelligence and Federal Civilian agencies, partially offset by increases in revenues from National Security agencies and other customers.

Current wording

Commercial Segment revenues were approximately 70 percent of total revenues and were up 1.2 percent year-over-year.

Gross margin for the Commercial Segment was down 90 basis points year-over-year, primarily driven bybusiness mix related to a smaller contribution from some of our higher-margin solutions including permanent placement revenues, as well as changes in foreign currency exchange rates primarily related to our delivery center in Mexico.

Contributing to the compression was (i) a lower mix of high-margin permanent placement revenues, (ii) changes in foreign currency exchange rates primarily related to our delivery center in Mexico, and (iii) a shift in solutions mix, with stronger growth in certain cloud and infrastructure services that carry lower gross margins than other offerings in our portfolio.
