BlackBerry Limited (BB-5.11%) has submitted its 10-Q filing for the quarterly period ended November 30, 2024.

The filing reports total revenue of $143 million for the quarter, a decrease from $152 million in the same quarter of the previous year. The decrease is attributed to declines in Secure Communications revenue, partially offset by increases in IoT revenue.

Secure Communications revenue was $74 million, down from $91 million in the previous year, primarily due to a decrease in product revenue from Secusmart and BlackBerry UEM licenses.
