BlackBerry Ltd. reported a third-quarter profit of US$13.7 million, up from a loss of US$10.5 million during the same period a year earlier.

The Waterloo-based software company, which keeps its books in U.S. dollars, said Thursday that its earnings per share came in at two cents US, flat compared with the prior year quarter.

BlackBerry says its revenue reached US$141.8 million for the period ended Nov. 30, down from US$143.6 million during the third quarter last year.

John Giamatteo, BlackBerry CEO, says in a press release that the company’s QNX segment reached an all-time high for revenue.

QNX segment revenue came in at US$68.7 million, rising 10 per cent from US$62.3 million a year earlier.

Giamatteo says the company’s higher-than-expected overall revenue, coupled with ongoing cost discipline efforts, helped it achieve its strongest profitability in nearly four years during the quarter.
