2014-12-19 15:53:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) BlackBerry said revenues for its third quarter to 29 November fell to USD 793 million from 1.2 billion the year before. Hardware contributed 46 percent to revenues, services accounted for another 46 percent and software for 8 percent. Hardware revenue was recognised on 2 million BlackBerry smartphones. The company sold a total of 1.9 million smartphones to end customers. The net loss narrowed to USD 148 million or USD 0.28 per share, from a loss the year before of 332 million or 0.63 per share. The non-GAAP net result went to a profit of USD 6 million or USD 0.01 per share, from a loss the year earlier of 0.02 per share. At the end of fiscal Q3, the company had total cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments of USD 3.1 billion, up by USD 43 million from the previous quarter. The EZ Pass Program resulted in a total of 6.8 million licenses issued for BES10, a 100 percent increase from fiscal Q2, with over 30 percent of total licenses traded in from competitor Mobile Device Management platforms. Going forward, Blackberry expects to maintain its strong cash position, while increasingly looking for opportunities to prudently invest in growth. The company continues to anticipate break-even or better cash flow from operations. As it expands distribution capability, the company continues to target sustainable non-GAAP profitability some time in fiscal 2016.
