BlackBerry reports 2Q profit

Cybersecurity software and services company BlackBerry has reported a profit of $US19 million, beating Wall Street's expectations.

BlackBerry has reported fiscal second-quarter net income of $US19 million, after reporting a loss in the same period a year earlier.

The Canadian company said it had net income of 4 cents per basic share. On a diluted basis - assuming conversion of the company's convertible debentures - the loss was 7 cents per share. Adjusted for one-time gains and costs, income was 5 cents per share.

The results beat Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of five analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for a loss of 1 cent per share.

The cybersecurity software and services company posted revenue of $US238 million in the period. Its adjusted revenue was $US249 million.

BlackBerry expects full-year adjusted revenue in the range of $US920 million to $US950 million.

BlackBerry shares have increased 44 per cent since the beginning of the year. The stock has risen 26 per cent in the past 12 months.
