2013. As a percentage of product revenue, cost of product revenue increased to 25% from 20% for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the prior

year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the prior year period. The dollar increase in cost of subscription and service revenue is due to increased payroll

amortization on acquired intangible assets also contributed to the overall increase in cost of subscription and service revenue.
