How is Matterport doing?

Example output:

Introduction.
[1] “我们最近的增长势头强劲，从2018年12月31日到2022年12月31日，我们的订阅者已经增长了约49倍。在2021年12月31日结束的年度约1.112亿美元的基础上，我们的收入在2022年12月31日结束的年度增长了约22%，达到了约1.361亿美元。”
[2] “由于2022财年全球供应链的困扰和增加的成本，我们在2021年12月31日结束的年度6000万美元的基础上，2022年12月31日结束的年度的毛利润减少了8.1百万美元或14%，降至了5180万美元。”
[3] “我们的净美元扩展率为103%，这是在2022年12月31日结束的三个月内实现的，这显示了我们平台的高用户粘性和良好的增长前景。”

ANSWER.
Despite supply chain issues that led to a dip in gross profit in 2022,[2] Matterport's strong growth in subscriber numbers and revenue in recent years,[1] as well as its demonstrated high user stickiness and growth potential[3] suggests that this company's growth is generally quite solid.
