1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Basis of Presentation and Preparation

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). They do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of BlackBerry Limited (the “Company”) for the year ended February 28, 2025 (the “Annual Financial Statements”), which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these interim consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended May 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending February 28, 2026. The consolidated balance sheet at February 28, 2025 was derived from the audited Annual Financial Statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the Annual Financial Statements.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions with respect to the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates and any such differences may be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Certain of the comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation, including for facilities discussed below. In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company reclassified all expenses associated with its facilities within General and administrative expenses, whereas previously these costs were allocated amongst the functional expense areas of the business based on assumptions of usage of those facilities by the functional areas.

The impact of the change on previously issued financial statements was as follows for the three months ended May 31, 2024:


	Three Months Ended
			Revised
	May 31, 2024	Impact of change	May 31, 2024
Cost of sales	47.8	(1.5)	46.3
Gross margin	96.5	1.5	98.0
Research and development	41.5	(2.3)	39.2
Sales and marketing	37.9	(1.1)	36.8
General and administrative	39.9	4.9	44.8

The Company is organized and managed as three reportable operating segments: QNX, Secure Communications, and Licensing, as further discussed in Note 11.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no material changes to the Company’s accounting policies or critical accounting estimates from those described in the Annual Financial Statements.

Accounting Standards Adopted During Fiscal 2026

The Company has not adopted any new standards to date during fiscal 2026.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” on the topic of income taxes. The standard requires additional disclosure for income taxes. These requirements include: (i) requiring a public entity to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation; (ii) disclosure of additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate); (iii) annual disclosure of the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes; (iv) annual disclosure of the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received); (v) annual disclosure of income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign; and (vi) annual disclosure of income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. For public entities, the guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will adopt this guidance in its annual reporting for fiscal 2026 on a prospective basis and is in the process of evaluating the new requirements. As a result, the Company has not yet determined the impact this new ASU will have on its disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 to amend the codification on “Expense Disaggregation Disclosure” (Subtopic 220-40): Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income”. The standard requires additional disclosure on specific expense categories included in the expense captions presented on the statements of operations. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company will adopt this guidance in fiscal 2028 and is in process of evaluating the new requirements. As a result, the Company has not yet determined the impact this new ASU will have on its disclosures.

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company determined that the assets and liabilities constituting its Cylance business, which consisted of the Company’s artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning-based cybersecurity solutions previously acquired on February 21, 2019, met the criteria requiring classification as held for sale as specified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360 Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”) and met the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations under ASC 205 Presentation of Financial Statements.

On February 3, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Cylance endpoint security assets and related liabilities to Arctic Wolf Networks, Inc. (“Arctic Wolf”). In connection with the sale, the Company recognized a gain on disposal of discontinued operations before taxes of $10.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.

The financial results of Cylance are presented as “loss from discontinued operations, net of tax” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and have been removed from the presentation of results from continuing operations. The following table represents the financial results of Cylance for the three months ended May 31, 2024:

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS, CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS

Fair Value

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, non-performance risk and credit risk. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value into three levels:

•Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

BlackBerry Limited

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of United States dollars, except share and per share data, and except as otherwise indicated (unaudited)

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at amounts that approximate their fair values (Level 2 measurement) due to their short maturities.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

In determining the fair value of investments held, the Company primarily relies on an independent third-party valuator for the fair valuation of securities. The Company also reviews the inputs used in the valuation process and assesses the pricing of the securities for reasonableness after conducting its own internal collection of quoted prices from brokers. Fair values for all investment categories provided by the independent third-party valuator that are in excess of 0.5% from the fair values determined by the Company are communicated to the independent third-party valuator for consideration of reasonableness. The independent third-party valuator considers the information provided by the Company before determining whether a change in their original pricing is warranted.

When the Company concludes that there is a significant financing component included within a contract with a customer due to timing differences between the fulfillment of certain performance obligations and the receipt of payment for those performance obligations, the Company determines the present value of the future consideration utilizing the discount rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between the customer and the Company at contract inception based upon the credit characteristics of the customer receiving financing in the contract.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company re-measures the fair value of non-marketable equity investments for which it utilizes the measurement alternative, and long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, operating lease ROU assets, intangible assets and goodwill if an impairment or observable price adjustment is recognized in the current period.

Non-Marketable Equity Investments Measured Using the Measurement Alternative

Non-marketable equity investments measured using the measurement alternative include investments in privately held companies without readily determinable fair values in which the Company does not own a controlling interest or have significant influence. Equity investments in private companies are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair value of non-marketable equity investments are classified within Level 3 when the Company estimates fair value using significant unobservable inputs such as when the investment is remeasured due to impairment and changes resulting from the issuance of new equity by an investee in an orderly transaction for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

During the three months ended May 31, 2024, the Company exited certain leased facilities and recorded a pre-tax and after-tax impairment charge of $3.5 million related to the operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and property, plant and equipment associated with those facilities. The impairment was determined by comparing the fair value of the impacted ROU asset to the carrying value of the asset as of the impairment measurement date, as required under ASC 360, using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the ROU asset was based on the estimated sublease income for certain facilities taking into consideration the estimated time period it will take to obtain a sublessor, the applicable discount rate and the sublease rate, which are considered unobservable inputs. The Company conducts an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revises its assumptions and estimates as appropriate as new or updated information becomes available. The fair value measurement of ROU impaired assets is classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

______________________________

(1) Cost basis for equity investments in private companies includes the effect of returns of capital and impairment.

As at May 31, 2025, the Company had non-marketable equity investments without readily determinable fair value of $58.8 million (February 28, 2025 - $58.9 million) including common shares of Arctic Wolf received as partial consideration for the sale of its Cylance endpoint security assets and liabilities to Arctic Wolf. During the three months ended May 31, 2025, the Company did not record any adjustment to the carrying value of non-marketable equity investments without readily determinable fair value resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar securities which have been included in investment income, net on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations (May 31, 2024 - upward adjustments of $1.2 million). As of May 31, 2025, the Company has recorded a cumulative impairment of $3.0 million to the carrying value of certain other non-marketable equity investments without readily determinable fair value (February 28, 2025 - $3.0 million).

There were no realized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities for the three months ended May 31, 2025 and May 31, 2024.

The Company has restricted cash and cash equivalents, consisting of cash and securities pledged as collateral to major banking partners in support of the Company’s requirements for letters of credit and a performance bond that the Company was required to post to support a government contract. These letters of credit support certain leasing arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business and are for terms ranging from one month to seven years. The Company is legally restricted from accessing these funds during the term of the leases for which the letters of credit have been issued and during the term of the government contract; however, the Company can continue to invest the funds and receive investment income thereon.

4. CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET DETAILS

Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowance

The current estimated credit losses (“CECL”) for accounts receivable as at May 31, 2025 were $6.0 million (February 28, 2025 - $6.6 million).

The Company also has long-term accounts receivable included in Other long-term assets. The CECL for long-term accounts receivable is estimated using the probability of default method and the default exposure due to limited historical information. The exposure to default is represented by the assets’ amortized carrying amount at the reporting date.

Beginning balance as of February 29, 2024	$	6.0
Prior period provision for expected credit losses	5.3
Write-offs charged against the allowance	(4.7)
Ending balance of the allowance for credit loss as at February 28, 2025	6.6

Current period recovery for expected credit losses	(0.5)
Write-offs charged against the allowance	(0.1)

Ending balance of the allowance for credit loss as at May 31, 2025	$	6.0

The allowance for credit losses as at May 31, 2025 consists of $0.6 million (February 28, 2025 - $1.1 million) relating to CECL estimated based on days past due and region and $5.4 million (February 28, 2025 - $5.5 million) relating to specific customers that were evaluated separately.

There were two customers that comprised more than 10% of accounts receivable as at May 31, 2025 (February 28, 2025 - two customers comprised more than 10%).

For the three months ended May 31, 2025, amortization expense related to intangible assets amounted to $4.2 million (three months ended May 31, 2024 - $11.0 million).

Total additions to intangible assets for the three months ended May 31, 2025 amounted to $1.2 million (three months ended May 31, 2024 - $1.5 million). During the three months ended May 31, 2025, additions to intangible assets primarily consisted of payments for intellectual property relating to patent maintenance and registration fees.

Based on the carrying value of the identified intangible assets as at May 31, 2025, and assuming no subsequent impairment of the underlying assets, the annual amortization expense for the remainder of fiscal 2026 and each of the five succeeding years is expected to be as follows: fiscal 2026 - $7.1 million; fiscal 2027 - $5.7 million; fiscal 2028 - $5.0 million; fiscal 2029 - $3.9 million; fiscal 2030 - $3.7 million and fiscal 2031 - $2.8 million.

Other accrued liabilities include restructuring programs, current portion, accrued vendor liabilities, accrued director fees, and payroll withholding taxes, among other items, none of which were greater than 5% of the current liabilities balance in any of the periods presented.

Restructuring

During fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, the Company commenced restructuring programs with the objective of reducing its annual costs and expenses relating to Secure Communications. Other charges and cash costs may occur as programs are implemented or changes are completed.

The following table sets forth the activity in the Company’s restructuring program liabilities:


	Employee Termination Benefits		Facilities Costs		Total



Balance as at February 29, 2024	$	16.8	4.3		21.1
Charges incurred	21.3		4.8		26.1
Cash payments made	(31.0)		(5.8)		(36.8)
Balance as at February 28, 2025	7.1		3.3		10.4
Charges incurred	2.2		0.7		2.9
Cash payments made	(5.9)		(1.6)		(7.5)
Balance as at May 31, 2025	$	3.4	$	2.4	$	5.8

Current portion	$	3.4	$	1.5	$	4.9
Long-term portion	—		0.9		0.9
	$	3.4	$	2.4	$	5.8

The long-term portion of the restructuring liabilities is recorded by measuring the remaining payments at present value using an effective interest rate of 4.8%, and the Company recorded interest expense over time to arrive at the total face value of the remaining payments.

The restructuring charges included employee termination benefits and facilities costs. Total charges incurred for the three months ended May 31, 2025 and May 31, 2024 were $2.9 million and $7.3 million, respectively, recorded within General and administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

5. INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended May 31, 2025, the Company’s net effective income tax expense rate was approximately 61% compared to a net effective income tax expense rate of 22% for the three months ended May 31, 2024. The Company’s income tax rate reflects the change in unrecognized income tax benefit, if any, and the fact that the Company has a significant valuation allowance against its deferred income tax assets; in particular, any change in loss carry forwards or research and development credits, amongst other items, is offset by a corresponding adjustment of the valuation allowance. The Company’s net effective income tax rate also reflects the geographic mix of earnings in jurisdictions with different income tax rates.

The Company’s total unrecognized income tax benefits as at May 31, 2025 were $19.6 million (February 28, 2025 - $19.5 million). As at May 31, 2025, $19.2 million of the unrecognized income tax benefits have been netted against deferred income tax assets and $0.4 million has been recorded within income taxes payable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company is subject to ongoing examination by tax authorities in certain jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company regularly assesses the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse outcomes to determine the adequacy of the provision for income taxes as well as the provisions for indirect and other taxes and related penalties and interest. While the final resolution of audits is uncertain, the Company believes the ultimate resolution of these audits will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

6. LONG-TERM NOTES

On January 29, 2024, the Company issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.00% senior convertible unsecured notes (the “Notes”) in an offering to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Notes are due on February 15, 2029 unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. Each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes is convertible into 257.5826 common shares of the Company based on the initial conversion rate, for a total of 52 million common shares at a price of $3.88 per share, subject to adjustments. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 15, 2028, the Notes will be convertible only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods, and thereafter, at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding February 15, 2029. The Company may satisfy any conversions of the Notes by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, its common shares or a combination of cash and its common shares, at the Company’s election (or, in the case of any Notes called for redemption that are converted during the related redemption period, solely its common shares). Covenants associated with the Notes include general corporate maintenance, existence and reporting requirements. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2024.

The Company had recorded the Notes, including the debt itself and all embedded derivatives, at cost less debt issuance costs of $6.0 million and presents the Notes as a single hybrid financial instrument. No portion of the embedded derivatives required bifurcation from the host debt contract.

The following table summarizes the change in the Notes for the three months ended May 31, 2025:


	Carrying Amount



Balance as at February 28, 2025	$	195.3
Amortization of debt issuance costs	0.3
Balance as at May 31, 2025	$	195.6

The Company’s estimate of the fair value of the Notes as at May 31, 2025 is $259.8 million (February 28, 2025 - $289.5 million).

For the three months ended May 31, 2025, the Company recorded interest expense related to the Notes of $1.5 million which has been included in investment income, net on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations (three months ended May 31, 2024 - $1.5 million).

On May 8, 2025, the Company announced that it received acceptance from the Toronto Stock Exchange with respect to a normal course issuer bid to purchase for cancellation up to 27.9 million common shares of the Company, or approximately 4.7% of the outstanding public float at May 5, 2025. The NCIB commenced on May 12, 2025, and will terminate on the earliest of May 11, 2026, such date as the Company may determine, or the date on which the maximum number of common shares that may be purchased under the NCIB has been reached. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any common shares under the NCIB. During the three months ended May 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 2.6 million common shares at a cost of $10.0 million. The Company recorded a reduction of $12.8 million to capital stock and the amount paid below the per share paid-in capital of the common shares of $2.8 million was recorded to deficit. All common shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the normal course issuer bid have been canceled.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(a)Letters of Credit

The Company had $13.5 million in collateralized outstanding letters of credit in support of certain leasing arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business as of May 31, 2025. The Company has posted a performance bond as collateral to support a government contract for the term of the agreement. See the discussion of restricted cash in Note 3.

(b)Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is involved in litigation in the normal course of its business, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. The Company is subject to a variety of claims (including claims related to patent infringement, purported class actions and other claims in the normal course of business) and may be subject to additional claims either directly or through indemnities against claims that it provides to certain of its partners and customers. In particular, the industry in which the Company competes has many participants that own, or claim to own, intellectual property, including participants that have been issued patents and may have filed patent applications or may obtain additional patents and proprietary rights for technologies similar to those used by the Company in its products. The Company has received, and may receive in the future, assertions and claims from third parties that the Company’s products infringe on their patents or other intellectual property rights. Litigation has been, and will likely continue to be, necessary to determine the scope, enforceability and validity of third-party proprietary rights or to establish the Company’s proprietary rights. Regardless of whether claims against the Company have merit, those claims could be time-consuming to evaluate and defend, result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources and subject the Company to significant liabilities.

Management reviews all of the relevant facts for each claim and applies judgment in evaluating the likelihood and, if applicable, the amount of any potential loss. Where a potential loss is considered probable and the amount is reasonably estimable, provisions for loss are made based on management’s assessment of the likely outcome. Where a range of loss can be reasonably estimated with no best estimate in the range, the Company records the minimum amount in the range. The Company does not provide for claims for which the outcome is not probable or claims for which the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated. Any settlements or awards under such claims are provided for when reasonably determinable.

As of May 31, 2025, with the exception of the Canadian employment class action settlement discussed below, there are no other material claims for which the Company has assessed the potential loss as both probable to result and reasonably estimable; therefore, no accrual has been made. Further, there are claims outstanding for which the Company has assessed the potential loss as reasonably possible to result; however, an estimate of the amount of loss cannot reasonably be made. There are many reasons that the Company cannot make these assessments, including, among others, one or more of the following: the early stages of a proceeding does not require the claimant to specifically identify the patent claims that have allegedly been infringed or the products that are alleged to infringe; damages sought are unspecified, unsupportable, unexplained or uncertain; discovery has not been started or is incomplete; the facts that are in dispute are highly complex; the difficulty of assessing novel claims; the parties have not engaged in any meaningful settlement discussions; the possibility that other parties may share in any ultimate liability; and the often slow pace of litigation.

The Company has included the following summaries of certain of its legal proceedings though they do not meet the test for accrual described above.

Between October and December 2013, several purported class action lawsuits and one individual lawsuit were filed against the Company and certain of its former officers in various jurisdictions in the U.S. and Canada alleging that the Company and certain of its officers made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s financial condition and business prospects and that certain of the Company’s financial statements contain material misstatements. The individual lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed and the consolidated U.S. class actions were dismissed in September 2022 following final approval of the Stipulation of Settlement executed effective June 7, 2022.

On July 23, 2014, the plaintiff in the putative Ontario class action (Swisscanto Fondsleitung AG v. BlackBerry Limited, et al.) filed a motion for class certification and for leave to pursue statutory misrepresentation claims. On November 17, 2015, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice issued an order granting the plaintiffs’ motion for leave to file a statutory claim for misrepresentation. On December 2, 2015, the Company filed a notice of motion seeking leave to appeal this ruling. On November 15, 2018, the Court denied the Company’s motion for leave to appeal the order granting the plaintiffs leave to file a statutory claim for misrepresentation. On February 5, 2019, the Court entered an order certifying a class comprised persons (a) who purchased BlackBerry common shares between March 28, 2013, and September 20, 2013, and still held at least some of those shares as of September 20, 2013, and (b) who acquired those shares on a Canadian stock exchange or acquired those shares on any other stock exchange and were a resident of Canada when the shares were acquired. Notice of class certification was published on March 6, 2019. The Company filed its Statement of Defence on April 1, 2019. Discovery is proceeding and the Court has not set a trial date.

Other contingencies

As at May 31, 2025, the Company has recognized $25.0 million (February 28, 2025 - $20.5 million) in funds from claims filed with the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada relating to its Strategic Innovation Fund (“SIF”) program’s investment in QNX. A portion of this amount may be repayable in the future under certain circumstances if certain terms and conditions are not met by the Company, which is not probable at this time.

(c)Litigation Settlements

On March 17, 2017, a putative employment class action was filed against the Company in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Parker v. BlackBerry Limited). The Statement of Claim alleges that actions the Company took when certain of its employees decided to accept offers of employment from Ford Motor Company of Canada amounted to a wrongful termination of the employees’ employment with the Company. The claim sought (i) an unspecified quantum of statutory, contractual, or common law termination entitlements; (ii) punitive or breach of duty of good faith damages of CAD$20 million, or such other amount as the Court finds appropriate, (iii) pre- and post- judgment interest, (iv) attorneys’ fees and costs, and (v) such other relief as the Court deems just. The Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion to certify the class action on May 27, 2019. The Company commenced a motion for leave to appeal the certification order on June 11, 2019. The Court denied the motion for leave to appeal on September 17, 2019. The Company filed its Statement of Defence on December 19, 2019. The parties participated in a mediation on November 9, 2022, which did not result in an agreement. The matter had a trial date of June 2, 2025. The parties attended a pre-trial conference on December 4, 2024. At a further pretrial conference on January 24, 2025, the parties reached a settlement in principle for approximately $2.8 million or CDN $4.0 million inclusive of all fees and costs. On February 18, 2025, the parties settled the matter for CDN $4.0 million inclusive of all fees and costs, subject to Court approval. On March 10, 2025, the Company paid the settlement amount into a trust held by the plaintiffs’ counsel. A settlement approval hearing is scheduled for July 30, 2025.

(d)Indemnifications

The Company enters into certain agreements that contain indemnification provisions under which the Company could be subject to costs and damages, including in the event of an infringement claim against the Company or an indemnified third party. Such intellectual property infringement indemnification clauses are generally not subject to any dollar limits and remain in effect for the term of the Company’s agreements. To date, the Company has not encountered material costs as a result of such indemnifications.

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its current and former directors and executive officers. Under these agreements, the Company agreed, subject to applicable law, to indemnify its current and former directors and executive officers against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by such individuals in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action that could arise by reason of their status as directors or officers. The Company maintains liability insurance coverage for the benefit of the Company, and its current and former directors and executive officers. The Company has not encountered material costs as a result of such indemnifications in the current period.

11. REVENUE AND SEGMENT DISCLOSURES

The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by the CODM for making decisions and assessing performance as a source of the Company’s reportable operating segments. The CODM, who is the CEO of the Company, makes decisions and assesses the performance of the Company using three operating segments.

The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. The Company does not specifically allocate assets to operating segments for internal reporting purposes.

Segment Disclosures

With the sale of the Cylance business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, and the classification of the business as discontinued operations as discussed in Note 2, the Company is organized and managed as three operating segments: QNX, Secure Communications, and Licensing. Prior period comparatives have been recast to reflect this change in reportable operating segments.

The following table shows information by reportable operating segment for the three months ended May 31, 2025 and May 31, 2024:


	For the Three Months Ended

______________________________

(1) A reconciliation of total segment gross margin to consolidated pre-tax income from continuing operations is set forth below.

QNX consists of BlackBerry® QNX®, BlackBerry® Certicom®, BlackBerry Radar®, and other QNX applications. QNX revenue is generated predominantly through software licenses, commonly bundled with support, maintenance and professional services and through volume-based royalties.

Secure Communications consists of BlackBerry® UEM, BlackBerry® AtHoc® and BlackBerry® SecuSUITE®. The Company’s endpoint management platform includes BlackBerry® UEM, BlackBerry® Dynamics™, and BlackBerry® Workspaces solutions. Secure Communications revenue is generated predominantly through software licenses, commonly bundled with support, maintenance and professional services.

Licensing consists of the Company’s intellectual property arrangements and settlement awards.

The following table reconciles total segment gross margin for the three months ended May 31, 2025 and May 31, 2024 to the Company’s consolidated totals:

12. CASH FLOW AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

(a) Certain consolidated statements of cash flow information related to interest and income taxes paid is summarized as follows:


	Three Months Ended

Interest paid during the period	$	1.5	$	1.5
Income taxes paid during the period	1.7		6.8

(b) Additional Information

Foreign exchange

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than its functional currency, the U.S. dollar. The majority of the Company’s revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was transacted in U.S. dollars. Portions of the revenue were denominated in Canadian dollars, euros and British pounds. Other expenses, consisting mainly of salaries and certain other operating costs, were incurred primarily in Canadian dollars, but were also incurred in U.S. dollars, euros and British pounds. At May 31, 2025, approximately 9% of cash and cash equivalents, 18% of accounts receivable and 84% of accounts payable were denominated in foreign currencies (February 28, 2025 – 19%, 29% and 71%, respectively). These foreign currencies primarily include the Canadian dollar, euro and British pound. As part of its risk management strategy, the Company maintains net monetary asset and/or liability balances in foreign currencies and engages in foreign currency hedging activities using derivative financial instruments, including currency forward contracts and currency options. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Interest rate risk

Cash and cash equivalents and investments are invested in certain instruments with fixed interest rates of varying maturities. Consequently, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk as a result of holding investments of varying maturities and the significant financing components within certain revenue contracts with customers. The fair value of investments, as well as the investment income derived from the investment portfolio, will fluctuate with changes in prevailing interest rates. The Company also has significant financing components within certain revenue contracts with customers and is exposed to interest rate risk as a result of discounting the future payments from customers with a fixed interest rate. The Company also has outstanding Notes with a fixed interest rate, as described in Note 6. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as a result of the Notes. The Company does not currently utilize interest rate derivative instruments.

Credit risk

The Company is exposed to market and credit risk on its investment portfolio. The Company is also exposed to credit risk with customers, as described in Note 4. The Company reduces this risk from its investment portfolio by investing in liquid, investment-grade securities and by limiting exposure to any one entity or group of related entities. As at May 31, 2025, no single issuer represented more than 43% of the total cash, cash equivalents and investments (February 28, 2025 - no single issuer represented more than 47% of the total cash, cash equivalents and investments), with the largest such issuer representing bearer deposits, term deposits and cash balances with one of the Company’s banking counterparties.

In addition, as partial consideration for the sale of its Cylance endpoint security assets and liabilities to Arctic Wolf, as described in Note 2, the Company is owed a delayed cash payment one year following the closing. This deferred consideration is included as “Other Receivables” and is approximately $38.6 million as at May 31, 2025. The Company is exposed to risk related to potential non-payment of the deferred cash consideration from Arctic Wolf.

Liquidity risk

Cash, cash equivalents, and investments were $381.9 million as at May 31, 2025. As partial consideration for the sale of its Cylance endpoint security assets and liabilities to Arctic Wolf, the Company received common shares of Arctic Wolf with an estimated fair value of $24.6 million. The common shares of Arctic Wolf are illiquid securities without a public market and, as such, they cannot be readily sold or exchanged for cash. The Company may not be able to sell these shares at desired times or prices, which could negatively impact its financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s management remains focused on efficiently managing working capital balances and managing the liquidity needs of the business. Based on its current financial projections, the Company believes its financial resources, together with expected future operating cash generating and operating expense reduction activities, should be sufficient to meet funding requirements for current financial commitments and future operating expenditures not yet committed, and should provide the necessary financial capacity for the foreseeable future.

______________________________

(1)Prior to the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company’s Secure Communications segment included the Company’s Cylance® cybersecurity solutions business and was reported as the Cybersecurity segment. As a result of the Cylance sale in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, Cylance is no longer reported alongside UEM, SecuSuite and AtHoc as the Cybersecurity segment, and those three businesses are now reported separately from Cylance as the Secure Communications segment. The financial results of Cylance are presented as “loss from discontinued operations, net of tax” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and have been removed from the presentation of results from continuing operations. Prior period comparatives have been recast to reflect this change.

(2)Diluted earnings (loss) per share on a U.S. GAAP basis for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 does not include the dilutive effect of the Notes (as defined in “Financial Condition - Debt Financing and Other Funding Sources”), as to do so would be anti-dilutive. Diluted loss per share on a U.S. GAAP basis for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 does not include the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation as to do so would be anti-dilutive. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Company’s calculation of the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.

The following tables show information by operating segment for the three months ended May 31, 2025 and May 31, 2024. The Company reports segment information in accordance with U.S. GAAP, pursuant to the Financial Standards Accounting Board’s Accounting Standard Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting, based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for making decisions and assessing performance of the Company’s reportable operating segments. The measure of segment profit or loss disclosed by the Company in the Consolidated Financial Statements under the “management” approach in reviewing the results of the Company’s operating segments is segment adjusted gross margin. Additionally, the following table includes the additional measures of segment profit or loss used by the CODM which is segment adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s operating segments.

Restructuring charges - Restructuring charges relate to employee termination benefits, facilities, streamlining many of the Company’s centralized corporate functions into Secure Communications and QNX specific teams, and other costs pursuant to programs to reduce the Company’s annual expenses amongst R&D, infrastructure and other functions and do not reflect expected future operating expenses, are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance, and may not be meaningful when comparing the Company’s operating performance against that of prior periods.

Financial Highlights

The Company had $381.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments as of May 31, 2025 (February 28, 2025 - $410.3 million).

In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company recognized revenue of $121.7 million and net income of $1.9 million, or $0.00 basic and diluted earnings per share, on a U.S. GAAP basis (first quarter of fiscal 2025 - revenue of $123.4 million and net loss of $41.4 million, or $0.07 basic and diluted loss per share).

The Company recognized adjusted net income of $12.3 million, and adjusted earnings of $0.02 per share, on a non-GAAP basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 (first quarter of fiscal 2025 - adjusted net loss of $14.3 million, and adjusted loss of 0.02 per share). See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and information contained in this MD&A is presented on that basis. On June 24, 2025, the Company announced financial results for the three months ended May 31, 2025, which included certain non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, including adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin percentage, adjusted operating expense, adjusted corporate operating costs, adjusted corporate operating costs excluding amortization, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings (loss) per share, adjusted research and development expense, adjusted sales and marketing expense, adjusted general and administrative expense, adjusted amortization expense, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted operating income (loss) margin percentage, adjusted EBITDA margin percentage and free cash flow (usage).

In the Company’s internal reports, management evaluates the performance of the Company’s business on a non-GAAP basis by excluding the impact of certain items below from the Company’s U.S. GAAP financial results. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios provide management, as well as readers of the Company’s financial statements, with a consistent basis for comparison across accounting periods and are useful in helping management and readers understand the Company’s operating results and underlying operational trends. Non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios exclude certain amounts as described below:

•Restructuring charges. The Company believes that restructuring charges relating to employee termination benefits, facilities, streamlining many of the Company’s centralized corporate functions into Secure Communications and QNX specific teams, and other costs pursuant to programs to reduce the Company’s annual expenses amongst R&D, infrastructure and other functions do not reflect expected future operating expenses, are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance, and may not be meaningful when comparing the Company’s operating performance against that of prior periods.

•Stock compensation expenses. Equity compensation is a non-cash expense and does not impact the ongoing operating decisions taken by the Company’s management.

•Amortization of acquired intangible assets. When the Company acquires intangible assets through business combinations, the assets are recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. Such acquired intangible assets depreciate over time and the related amortization will recur in future periods until the assets have been fully amortized. This is not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance, and may not be meaningful when comparing the Company’s operating performance against that of prior periods.

•Long-lived asset impairment charge. The Company believes that long-lived asset impairment charges do not reflect expected future operating expenses, are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance, and may not be meaningful when comparing the Company’s operating performance against that of prior periods.

•Litigation settlements. The Company believes that litigation settlements do not reflect expected future operating expenses, are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance, and may not be meaningful when comparing the Company’s operating performance against that of prior periods.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, the impacts of these items are reflected in the Company’s income statement. However, the Company believes that the provision of supplemental non-GAAP measures allows investors to evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s business using the same evaluation measures that management uses, and is therefore a useful indication of the Company’s performance or expected performance of future operations and facilitates period-to-period comparison of operating performance. As a result, the Company considers it appropriate and reasonable to provide, in addition to U.S. GAAP measures, supplementary non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items from the presentation of its financial results.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP based measures with most directly comparable U.S. GAAP based measures for the three months ended May 31, 2025 and May 31, 2024

Readers are cautioned that adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin percentage, adjusted operating expense, adjusted corporate operating costs, adjusted corporate operating costs excluding amortization, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings (loss) per share, adjusted research and development expense, adjusted sales and marketing expense, adjusted general and administrative expense, adjusted amortization expense, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted operating income (loss) margin percentage, adjusted EBITDA margin percentage and free cash flow (usage) and similar measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Key Metrics

The Company regularly monitors a number of financial and operating metrics, including the following key metrics, in order to measure the Company’s current performance and estimated future performance. Readers are cautioned that Secure Communications annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) and Secure Communications dollar-based net retention rate (“DBNRR”) do not have any standardized meaning and are unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Comparative breakdowns of certain key metrics for the three months ended or as at May 31, 2025 and May 31, 2024 are set forth below.


For the Three Months Ended (in millions)	May 31, 2025			May 31, 2024			Change



Secure Communications Annual Recurring Revenue	$	209		$	211		$	(2)



Secure Communications Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate	92		%	93		%	(1		%)

Secure Communications Annual Recurring Revenue

The Company defines ARR as the annualized value of all subscription, term, maintenance, services, and royalty contracts that generate recurring revenue as of the end of the reporting period. The Company uses ARR as an indicator of business momentum for the Secure Communications business.

Secure Communications ARR was approximately $209 million as at May 31, 2025 and increased compared to $208 million as at February 28, 2025 and decreased compared to $211 million as at May 31, 2024.

Secure Communications Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate

The Company calculates the Secure Communications DBNRR as of period end by first calculating the Secure Communications ARR from the customer base as at 12 months prior to the current period end (“Prior Period ARR”). The Company then calculates the Secure Communications ARR for the same cohort of customers as at the current period end (“Current Period ARR”). The Company then divides the Current Period ARR by the Prior Period ARR to calculate the DBNRR.

Secure Communications DBNRR was 92% as at May 31, 2025 and decreased compared to 93% as at February 28, 2025 and 93% as at May 31, 2024.

	100.0		%	100.0		%

QNX

The increase in QNX revenue of $4.3 million was primarily due to an increase of $3.4 million in development seat revenue, an increase of $1.7 million in royalty revenue and an increase of $1.2 million in BlackBerry Radar revenue, partially offset by a decrease of $2.0 million in professional services.

The Company previously stated that it expected QNX revenue to be in the range of $51 million to $55 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. QNX revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $57.5 million due to better than expected development seat revenue.

The Company expects QNX revenue to be in the range of $55 million to $60 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

Secure Communications

The decrease in Secure Communications revenue of $4.7 million was primarily due to a decrease of $3.0 million in Secusmart product revenue and a decrease of $2.7 million in BlackBerry UEM product revenue, partially offset by an increase of $1.0 million in professional services and an increase of $0.5 million in BlackBerry AtHoc.

The Company previously stated that it expected Secure Communications revenue to be in the range of $50 million to $54 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

The Company now expects Secure Communications revenue to be in the range of $234 million to $244 million in fiscal 2026 due to stronger than expected performance in the first quarter of the fiscal year and an increase in the pipeline of opportunities.

The Company expects Secure Communications revenue to be in the range of $54 million to $59 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

Licensing

The decrease in Licensing revenue of $1.3 million was primarily due to a decrease in revenue from the Company’s existing intellectual property licensing arrangements.

The Company previously stated that it expected Licensing revenue to be approximately $6 million in each of the four quarters of fiscal 2026. Licensing revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $4.7 million due to the reason stated above.

Total BlackBerry Revenue

The Company previously stated that it expected total BlackBerry revenue to be approximately $107 million to $115 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Total BlackBerry revenue was $121.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, better than expected due to the reasons noted above in “Revenue by Segment”.

The Company expects total BlackBerry revenue to be in the range of $115 million to $125 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

The Company previously stated that it expected total BlackBerry revenue to be in the range of $504 million to $534 million in fiscal 2026. The Company now expects total BlackBerry revenue to be in the range of $508 million to $538 million in fiscal 2026 due to the change in expectation for Secure Communications revenue stated above.

Other regions	20.1		%	19.1		%
	100.0		%	100.0		%

North America Revenue

The decrease in North America revenue of $1.4 million was primarily due to a decrease of $2.2 million in QNX royalty revenue, a decrease of $2.1 million in BlackBerry UEM product revenue and a decrease of $0.7 million in professional services, partially offset by an increase of $2.9 million in QNX development seat revenue and an increase of $1.0 million in BlackBerry Radar.

Europe, Middle East and Africa Revenue

The decrease in Europe, Middle East and Africa revenue of $1.2 million was primarily due to a decrease of $2.9 million relating to Secusmart product revenue, a decrease of $0.5 million in professional services and a decrease of $0.3 million in BlackBerry UEM product revenue, partially offset by an increase of $2.0 million in QNX royalty revenue and an increase of $0.7 million in QNX development seat revenue.

Other Regions Revenue

The increase in Other regions revenue of $0.9 million was primarily due to an increase of $1.9 million in QNX royalty revenue, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in BlackBerry UEM product revenue and a decrease of $0.3 million in professional services.

Gross Margin

Consolidated Gross Margin

Consolidated gross margin increased by $0.3 million to $90.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 (first quarter of fiscal 2025 - $90.0 million). The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue from QNX due to the reasons discussed above in “Revenue by Segment”, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from Secure Communications and Licensing revenue, as the cost of sales for most software and services products does not significantly fluctuate based on business volume.

Consolidated Gross Margin Percentage

Consolidated gross margin percentage increased by 1.3% to 74.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 ((first quarter of fiscal 2025 -72.9%). The increase was primarily due to a change in mix specifically a higher gross margin contribution from QNX.

Adjusted amortization expense decreased by $0.6 million to $2.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $2.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 primarily due to the lower cost base of assets.

Amortization included in Cost of Sales

Amortization expense relating to certain intangible assets employed in the Company’s licensing operations was $1.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and was consistent with the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Investment Income, Net

Investment income, net, which includes the interest expense from the Notes, was $2.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and decreased by $1.1 million from investment income, net of $4.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest income on significant financing components within certain revenue contracts with customers, partially offset by a higher yield on cash and investments.

Income Taxes

For the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company’s net effective income tax expense rate was approximately 61.2% (first quarter of fiscal 2025 - net effective income tax expense rate of approximately 22.5%). The Company’s net effective income tax rate reflects the change in unrecognized income tax benefits, if any, and the fact that the Company has a significant valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets; in particular, any change in loss carry forwards or research and development credits, amongst other items, was offset by a corresponding adjustment of the valuation allowance. The Company’s net effective income tax rate also reflects the geographic mix of earnings in jurisdictions with different income tax rates.

Net Income (Loss)

The Company’s net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $1.9 million, or $0.00 basic and diluted earnings per share on a U.S. GAAP basis (first quarter of fiscal 2025 - net loss $41.4 million, or $0.07 basic and diluted loss per share). The period over period change of $43.3 million was primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses, as described above in “Operating Expenses” and an increase in gross margin percentage, as described above in “Consolidated Gross Margin Percentage”, partially offset by a decrease in revenue, as described above in “Revenue by Segment”.

Adjusted net income was $12.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, or $0.02 adjusted basic earnings per share (first quarter of fiscal 2025 - adjusted net loss of $14.3 million, or 0.02 adjusted basic loss per share). The increase in adjusted net income of $26.6 million was primarily due to the same reasons described above on a U.S. GAAP basis.

The Company previously stated that it expected adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of break-even to $7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Adjusted EBITDA was $16.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 due to QNX and Secure Communications exceeding the top end of their expected ranges.

The Company previously stated that it expected non-GAAP EPS to be in the range of ($0.01) to breakeven in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Non-GAAP EPS was $0.02 in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 due to QNX and Secure Communications exceeding the top end of their expected ranges.

The Company previously stated that it expected operating cash usage to be in the range of $20 million to $30 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Operating cash usage was $18.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

The Company expects adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $8 to $14 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company previously stated that it expected adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $69 million to $84 million in fiscal 2026 as a whole. The Company now expects adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $72 million to $87 million in fiscal 2026 as a whole due to the change in expectation for Secure Communications adjusted EBITDA, as described above in “Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA by Segment”.

The Company expects non-GAAP EPS to be in the range of breakeven to $0.01 in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

The Company expects operating cash usage to be in the range of $5 million to $15 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company expects to generate positive operating cash flow in the second half of the fiscal year.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of expected adjusted EBITDA and expected non-GAAP basic EPS for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 to the most directly comparable expected GAAP measures because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty, among other things, restructuring charges and impairment charges and, accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 596.3 million common shares for basic earnings per share and 600.8 million common shares for diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 (first quarter of fiscal 2025 - 589.8 million common shares for basic and diluted loss per share). The weighted average number of shares outstanding includes the cumulative effects of share repurchases pursuant to the NCIB (as defined below) during the quarter ended May 31, 2025.

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents, and investments decreased by $28.4 million to $381.9 million as at May 31, 2025 from $410.3 million as at February 28, 2025, primarily due to changes in working capital.

A comparative summary of cash, cash equivalents, and investments is set out below:


	As at (in millions)
	May 31, 2025		February 28, 2025		Change
Cash and cash equivalents	$	276.0	$	266.7	$	9.3

The table below summarizes the current assets, current liabilities, and working capital of the Company:


	As at (in millions)
	May 31, 2025		February 28, 2025		Change
Current assets	$	533.2	$	591.5	$	(58.3)
Current liabilities	253.4		344.3		(90.9)
Working capital	$	279.8	$	247.2	$	32.6

Current Assets

The decrease in current assets of $58.3 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was primarily due to a decrease of $43.8 million in accounts receivable, net of allowance and a decrease of $40.5 million in short term investments, partially offset by an increase of $13.3 million in other current assets, an increase of $9.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $3.3 million in other receivables and an increase of $0.1 million in income taxes receivable.

At May 31, 2025, accounts receivable, net of allowance was $129.9 million, a decrease of $43.8 million from February 28, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the collection of a significant receivable from the Government of Malaysia and lower revenue recognized over the three months ended May 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended February 28, 2025, partially offset by a reclassification from long-term receivable to accounts receivable and an increase in days sales outstanding to 115 days at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from 102 days at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.

At May 31, 2025, other current assets were $43.3 million, an increase of $13.3 million from February 28, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $8.2 million in prepaid professional services, an increase of $1.9 million in prepaid rent, an increase of $1.6 million in prepaid software, an increase of $0.8 million in deferred commissions and an increase of $0.7 million in prepaid insurance.

At May 31, 2025, other receivables were $51.7 million, an increase of $3.3 million from February 28, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $3.1 million in SIF claims.

At May 31, 2025, income taxes receivable were $1.7 million, an increase of $0.1 million from February 28, 2025. The increase was primarily due to tax installments and prepayments required in certain taxable jurisdictions.

Current Liabilities

The decrease in current liabilities of $90.9 million at the end of the first quarter of 2026 from the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was primarily due to a decrease of $42.9 million in accrued liabilities, a decrease of $25.9 million in accounts payable and a decrease of $25.2 million in deferred revenue, current, partially offset by an increase of $3.1 million in income taxes payable.

Accrued liabilities were $83.3 million at the end of the first quarter of 2026, reflecting a decrease of $42.9 million compared to February 28, 2025, which was primarily due to a decrease of $22.9 million in variable incentive plan accrual, a decrease of $4.2 million in restructuring cost accrual, a decrease of $3.8 million in legal costs accrual, a decrease of $2.9 million in output VAT accrual, a decrease of $2.9 million in operating lease liability, current and a decrease of $2.7 million in deferred share unit liability.

Accounts payable were $5.2 million, reflecting a decrease of $25.9 million from February 28, 2025, which was primarily due to the timing of payments.

Deferred revenue, current was $136.3 million, which reflects a decrease of $25.2 million compared to February 28, 2025 that was attributable to a decrease of $19.4 million in deferred revenue, current related to BlackBerry UEM, a decrease of $4.4 million in deferred revenue, current related to BlackBerry AtHoc, and a decrease of $1.4 million in deferred revenue, current related to QNX.

Income taxes payable were $28.6 million, reflecting an increase of $3.1 million from February 28, 2025, which was primarily due to changes in the quarterly tax provision.

Cash flows for the three months ended May 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2024 were as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended
	(in millions)
	May 31, 2025		May 31, 2024		Change
Net cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	(18.0)	$	(15.1)	$	(2.9)
Investing activities	38.5		(27.2)		65.7
Financing activities	(8.8)		1.5		(10.3)
Effect of foreign exchange loss on cash and cash equivalents	0.5		—		0.5
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	12.2	$	(40.8)	$	53.0

Operating Activities

The increase in net cash flows used in operating activities of $2.9 million primarily reflects the changes in working capital.

Investing Activities

During the three months ended May 31, 2025, cash flows provided by investing activities were $38.5 million and included cash provided by transactions involving the acquisition of short-term and long-term investments, net of the proceeds on sale or maturity in the amount of $40.6 million, offset by cash used in the acquisition of intangible assets of $1.2 million and the acquisition of property, plant and equipment of $0.9 million. For the same period in the prior fiscal year, cash flows used in investing activities were $27.2 million and included cash used in transactions involving the acquisitions of short-term and long-term investments, net of the proceeds on sale or maturity in the amount of $24.4 million, offset by cash used in the acquisition of intangible assets of $1.5 million, the acquisition of property, plant and equipment $1.4 million, and the proceeds on sale of property, plant and equipment of $0.1 million.

Financing Activities

The increase in cash flows used in financing activities was $10.3 million for the first three months of fiscal 2026 primarily due to a repurchase of common shares of $10.0 million pursuant to the NCIB and a decrease of $0.3 million in common shares issued upon the exercise of stock options and under the employee share purchase plan.

On May 8, 2025, the Company announced that it received acceptance from the Toronto Stock Exchange with respect to a normal course issuer bid to purchase for cancellation up to 27,855,153 common shares of the Company, or approximately 4.7% of the outstanding public float at May 5, 2025. The NCIB commenced on May 12, 2025, and will terminate on the earliest of May 11, 2026, such date as the Company may determine, or the date on which the maximum number of common shares that may be purchased under the NCIB has been reached. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any common shares under the NCIB. During the three months ended May 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 2.6 million common shares at a cost of $10.0 million.

Debt Financing and Other Funding Sources

See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s $200 million aggregate principal amount of 3.00% senior convertible unsecured notes issued in January 2024 (the “Notes”).

The Company has $13.5 million in collateralized outstanding letters of credit in support of certain leasing arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information concerning the Company’s restricted cash.

Cash, cash equivalents, and investments were $381.9 million as at May 31, 2025. The Company’s management remains focused on maintaining appropriate cash balances, efficiently managing working capital balances and managing the liquidity needs of the business. Based on its current financial projections, the Company believes its financial resources, together with expected future operating cash generating and operating expense reduction activities, should be sufficient to meet funding requirements for current financial commitments and future operating expenditures not yet committed, and should provide the necessary financial capacity for the foreseeable future.

Contractual and Other Obligations

The following table sets out aggregate information about the Company’s contractual and other obligations and the periods in which payments are due as at May 31, 2025:


	(in millions)
	Total		Short-term (next 12 months)		Long-term (>12 months)
Operating lease obligations	$	43.1	$	15.3	$	27.8
Purchase obligations and commitments	59.2		59.2		—
Debt interest and principal payments	224.0		6.0		218.0
Total	$	326.3	$	80.5	$	245.8

Total contractual and other obligations as at May 31, 2025 increased by $13.5 million as compared to the February 28, 2025 balance of $312.8 million, which was attributable to an increase in purchase obligations and commitments, partially offset by a decrease in operating lease obligations.

The Company does not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no changes to the Company’s accounting policies or critical accounting estimates from those described under “Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates” in the Annual MD&A.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is engaged in operating and financing activities that generate risk in three primary areas:

Foreign Exchange

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than its functional currency, the U.S. dollar. The majority of the Company’s revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was transacted in U.S. dollars. Portions of the revenue were denominated in Canadian dollars, euros and British pounds. Expenses, consisting mainly of salaries and certain other operating costs, were incurred primarily in Canadian dollars, but were also incurred in U.S. dollars, euros and British pounds. At May 31, 2025, approximately 9% of cash and cash equivalents, 18% of accounts receivables and 84% of accounts payable were denominated in foreign currencies (February 28, 2025 – 19.0%, 29% and 71%, respectively). These foreign currencies primarily include the Canadian dollar, euro and British pound. As part of its risk management strategy, the Company maintains net monetary asset and/or liability balances in foreign currencies and engages in foreign currency hedging activities using derivative financial instruments, including currency forward contracts and currency options. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes. If overall foreign currency exchange rates to the U.S. dollar uniformly weakened or strengthened by 10% related to the Company’s net monetary asset or liability balances in foreign currencies at May 31, 2025 (after hedging activities), the impact to the Company would be immaterial.

The Company regularly reviews its currency forward and option positions, both on a stand-alone basis and in conjunction with its underlying foreign currency exposures. Given the effective horizons of the Company’s risk management activities and the anticipatory nature of the exposures, there can be no assurance these positions will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in currency exchange rates. Further, the recognition of the gains and losses related to these instruments may not coincide with the timing of gains and losses related to the underlying economic exposures and, therefore, may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and operating results.

Interest Rate

Cash and cash equivalents and investments are invested in certain instruments with fixed interest rates of varying maturities. Consequently, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk as a result of holding investments of varying maturities and the significant financing components within certain revenue contracts with customers. The fair value of investments, as well as the investment income derived from the investment portfolio, will fluctuate with changes in prevailing interest rates. The Company also has significant financing components within certain revenue contracts with customers and is exposed to interest rate risk as a result of discounting the future payments from customers with a fixed interest rate. The Company also has outstanding Notes with a fixed interest rate, as described in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as a result of the Notes. The Company does not currently utilize interest rate derivative instruments.

Credit and Customer Concentration

The Company, in the normal course of business, monitors the financial condition of its customers and reviews the credit history of each new customer. The Company establishes an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) that corresponds to the specific credit risk of its customers, historical trends and economic circumstances. The ACL as at May 31, 2025 was $6.0 million (February 28, 2025 - $6.6 million). There were two customers that comprised more than 10% of accounts receivable as at May 31, 2025 (February 28, 2025 - two customers that comprised more than 10%). During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the percentage of the Company’s receivable balance that was past due decreased by 11.2% compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Although the Company actively monitors and attempts to collect on its receivables as they become due, the risk of further delays or challenges in obtaining timely payments of receivables from resellers and other distribution partners exists. The occurrence of such delays or challenges in obtaining timely payments could negatively impact the Company’s liquidity and financial condition. There was one customer that comprised 13% of the Company’s revenue in the three months ended May 31, 2025 (three months ended May 31, 2024 - one customer that comprised 13% of the Company’s revenue).

Market values are determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio. The Company assesses declines in the value of individual investments for impairment to determine whether the decline is other-than-temporary. The Company makes this assessment by considering available evidence including changes in general market conditions, specific industry and individual company data, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition, the near-term prospects of the individual investment and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the debt securities to maturity.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of May 31, 2025, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended May 31, 2025, no changes were made to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

On May 8, 2025, the Company announced the initiation of a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) share buyback program, which was approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange. The program allows for the repurchase of up to 27,855,153 of the Company’s common shares, representing approximately 4.7% of the outstanding public float as of the close of business on May 5, 2025.

The NCIB commenced on May 12, 2025, and will terminate on the earliest of May 11, 2026, such date as the Company may determine, or the date on which the maximum number of common shares that may be purchased under the NCIB has been reached.

Purchases under the NCIB may be made through the Toronto Stock Exchange, other Canadian stock exchanges, the New York Stock Exchange, and/or alternative trading systems in Canada and the United States. Subject to regulatory approval, purchases may also be made by the Company by way of private agreements or share repurchase programs under issuer bid exemption orders issued by securities regulatory authorities.

Any common shares purchased through the NCIB will be cancelled.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

Rule 10b5-1 and Non-Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements

During the three months ended May 31, 2025, neither the Company or any of its officers or directors adopted or terminated trading arrangements for the sale of the Company’s common shares.
