According to Kevin Williams, CFO, "as we discussed last quarter when we provided guidance for fiscal 2015, we commented on the fact that we had and were continuing to make significant investments in both infrastructure and technology as well as increased personnel in specific areas. This is evidenced by the increased personnel cost in both cost of sales and operating expenses noted above as well as the increase in non-cash expenses (primarily depreciation & amortization) noted in the above table. Operating margin for the quarter was 25.9% which is slightly better than the guidance provided of flat with fiscal 2014, which was 25.8%"
