The standout driver was BlackBerry's QNX division, which delivered $63.10 million in revenue, up 15% year-over-year, and achieved a "Rule of 40" quarter, with the unit's momentum reinforced by the general availability of the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor development kit integrated with QNX OS for Safety 8. Total adjusted gross margins expanded four percentage points year-over-year to approximately 75%, while operating cash flow swung positive to $3.40 million from negative $16.00 million a year ago, a leaner cost structure paying off. Management raised its full-year FY2026 revenue guidance to $519–541 million and lifted adjusted EBITDA guidance to $82–101 million, reflecting growing confidence in both core divisions.
Key Takeaways
- • QNX division achieved 'Rule of 40' quarter with 15% YoY revenue growth and 32% adjusted EBITDA margin
- • Total company GAAP and adjusted gross margin expanded 4 percentage points year-over-year to 75%
- • Operating expenses reduced year-over-year from $86.4 million to $85.1 million
- • Secure Communications ARR increased YoY and sequentially to $213 million
- • Secure Communications adjusted gross margin expanded 5 percentage points YoY to 66%
