BlackBerry has some good news for investors this morning. First, in their Q1 results that were just released [Warning: PDF], BlackBerry revenue for fiscal Q1 2015 was $966 million, down $10 million or 1 per cent from $976 million in the previous quarter. Second, cash and investments that the company held went up to $3.1 billion up from $2.7 billion in the prior quarter. The net result was this according to the press release:
GAAP net income for the first quarter was $23 million, or $0.04 earnings per share (“EPS”). The net income includes non-cash income associated with the change in the fair value of the Debentures of $287 million (the “Q1 Fiscal 2015 Debentures Fair Value Adjustment”) and pre-tax restructuring charges of $226 million related to the Cost Optimization and Resource Efficiency (“CORE”) program. Excluding these items, adjusted loss for the first quarter was $60 million, or $0.11 per share. These impacts on GAAP net income and EPS are summarized in the table below
BlackBerry sold 1.6 million smartphones this quarter which is up 300,000 units from the year ago period. So it suggests that they’re not burning through cash and John Chen has righted the ship. At least for this quarter. Let’s see if this becomes a trend.
For what it’s worth, investors like the news as BlackBerry stock is up in pre-market activity as I type this.
