The 4Q numbers for BlackBerry just hit the wires. You can read the full release here. but I’ll hit the key highlights for you:

  • Blackberry 4Q GAAP loss was $423-million (U.S.) or 80 cents per share. On an adjusted basis, the loss was $42-million or 8 cents a share. This is compared to a loss of 67 cents the previous quarter. Analysts were expecting a loss of 55 to 57 cents a share.
  • BlackBerry 4Q revenue was $976 million. The street was expecting $1.11 billion. This is down from $2.7-billion a year ago.
  • BlackBerry 4Q Gross Margin was 56.7%.
  • BlackBerry 4Q has $2.7 billion in the bank. In line with analysts estimates. However, that’s down from US$3.2-billion at the end of 3Q.
  • BlackBerry says about 2.3 million BlackBerry 7 Devices Sold Through To End Customers in 4Q.
