The company also reported that it had more than 3,000 enterprise customer orders during the third quarter.

BlackBerry raises earnings guidance

Management pronounced that BlackBerry has successfully made the transition from being a hardware company to a software-focused firm.

“BlackBerry is now a software company and the market leader in mobile security,” said BlackBerry Executive Chairman and Chief Executive John Chen in a statement. “We achieved significant milestones in Q3, delivering the highest gross margin in the company’s history for the second consecutive quarter and continuing to transform our infrastructure and operations to support an enterprise software business. These accomplishments drove operating profitability in all business segments and overall positive non-GAAP EPS.”

Chen added that the company is still on track for 30% growth in software and services revenue for the full fiscal year. They also boosted their profit guidance for fiscal 2017, as they now look to be profitable on an adjusted basis for the full year, compared to their previous guidance for between breakeven and a loss of 5 cents per share.
