Q1 Results

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $3.1 billion, up 15% from $2.7 billion in the previous
quarter and up 9% from $2.8 billion in the same quarter of fiscal 2013. The revenue breakdown for the
quarter was approximately 71% for hardware, 26% for service and 3% for software and other revenue.
During the quarter, the Company shipped 6.8 million BlackBerry smartphones and approximately
100,000 BlackBerry PlayBook tablets.

GAAP loss from continuing operations for the quarter was $84 million, or $0.16 per share diluted,
compared with a GAAP income from continuing operations of $94 million, or diluted earnings per share
of $0.18, in the prior quarter and GAAP loss from continuing operations of $510 million, or $0.97 per share diluted, in the same quarter last year.

Adjusted loss from continuing operations for the first quarter was $67 million, or $0.13 per share diluted. Adjusted loss from continuing operations and adjusted diluted loss per share exclude the impact of pre-tax charges of $26 million ($17 million on an after tax basis) related to the Cost Optimization and Resource Efficiency (“CORE”) program. This impact on GAAP loss from continuing operations and diluted loss per share from continuing operations are summarized in the table below.

The total of cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments was $3.1 billion as of June 1,
2013, compared to $2.9 billion at the end of the previous quarter, an increase of approximately $200
million from the prior quarter. Cash flow from operations in the first quarter was approximately $630
million. Uses of cash included intangible asset additions of approximately $335 million and capital
expenditures of approximately $83 million.

“During the first quarter, we continued to focus our efforts on the global roll out of the BlackBerry 10
platform,” said Thorsten Heins, President and CEO of BlackBerry. “We are still in the early stages of this launch, but already, the BlackBerry 10 platform and BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 are proving
themselves to customers to be very secure, flexible and dynamic mobile computing solutions. Over the
next three quarters, we will be increasing our investments to support the roll out of new products and
services, and to demonstrate that BlackBerry has established itself as a leading and vibrant player in next generation mobile computing solutions for both consumer and enterprise customers.”

Outlook
The smartphone market remains highly competitive, making it difficult to estimate units, revenue and
levels of profitability. Throughout the remainder of fiscal 2014, the Company will invest in BlackBerry
10 smartphone launches, and the roll out of BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, to continue to establish the new BlackBerry 10 platform in the marketplace. The Company will also invest resources to evolve
BlackBerry Messenger into a leading cross platform mobile social messaging application, and launch
other revenue initiatives associated with new services and emerging mobile computing opportunities. Based on the competitive market dynamics and these investments, the company anticipates it will generate an operating loss in the second quarter. The company will also continue to implement the cost savings and process-improving initiatives it started last year, in order to drive greater efficiency throughout the company, and redirect capital from these savings to areas of investment that will drive
future revenue growth.
