And with that, I'll turn the call over to John.

Thanks, Tim. Good afternoon, everybody, and thanks for joining the call today. Let me start my review today with the IoT Business Unit. This has been a very good year. Despite a challenging macro environment, BlackBerry IoT closed out the year with strong 16% year-over-year revenue growth to $206 million. This is in line with the outlook range we provided this time last year. QNX has a record year for adding new royalty backlog from design wins. In fact, backlog at the end of fiscal 23 has grown to a new record high of $640,640,000. Going forward, we will report this annually in Q4 rather than in Q1 to enable a more in-depth discussion during our analyst stay, which is typically happen in May. The result is yet more tangible evidence that our strategy for QNX and IoT is really paying off. The business is executing and capitalizing on strong secular trends. The move towards high performance Safety-critical software running on more powerful chipsets is opening up significant opportunities for QNX. In addition to generating royalty backlog, the new design wins also drove near-record levels for pre-production revenue in Q4, that is, revenue from development seat licenses as well as professional services. Furthermore, the IoT business unit delivered a strong 81% gross margin, 8-1, In a quarter, we secure a total of 36 new design wins, with six in auto and 30 in jam. QNX is winning in multiple auto domains. In particular, we continue to perform well in the fast-growing ADARs and the digital cockpit's domain. In addition to auto, in adjacent verticals, we also see similar trends towards high-performance, safety-critical software at the edge. Medical and industrials are among a number of verticals making this transition, and QNX is capitalizing on it. Example this quarter, including a win with the Alba Labs for the real-time medical analyzer and with Corindus Vascular for a robotic stroke treatment application. There were also wins with South Korean Doosan for nuclear power plant controllers and Honeywell for industrial conveyor control units. Some of you on the call today may have joined us either in person or virtually at CES that happened in January. This was a very successful event for the team, with significant interest from and meetings with leading OEMs and Tier 1s. At CES, we also co-host the first Software Defined Vehicle Innovation Awards with MotorTran. This event brought together and celebrated the best and brightest in software development across the auto industry. This was a key marketing event for us. One of our major announcements at CES was that the QNX RTOS is now available in the cloud through the AWS marketplace. This both extends the reach of QNX to AWS developer community and eliminates the need for physical hardware. The initial response has been positive with auto and gem developers assessing QNX from locations around the world. Let me now move to Ivey. This quarter, we made a significant step forward with Ivey, announcing the first design win. Following a successful POC trials, Dong Fang, one of the China's leading automakers, selected a digital carpet solution from tier one supplier Patel. That includes BlackBerry Ivey to run in their Voyeur range of electric vehicles. At CES, the team demonstrated Ivy running on three commercially available platforms, including Bosch, Pateo, and the AWS Graviton. There was particularly strong interest in seeing Ivy running live in the Jeep Grand Cherokee at the booth. Not only was Ivy an important feature of the BlackBerry booth, it was also featured prominently at the AWS booth. Overall, CES generates significant interest for potential new proof of concept trials for IV. Product development remains on track. As we announced at CES, we're targeting this GA, the general availability, that is the GA release in May. This is an important step in scaling the IV go-to-market and POC efforts. The IV ecosystem is also developing well. One of the IV fund investment, Electra Vehicle, a smart battery management application, was successfully included as part of our first IV design win. This quarter, we added a partner specializing in AI power driver monitoring technology aimed at fleet customers called iDrive. iDrive is a California-based company that plans to leverage IV sensor data's to improve driver safety and fleet efficiency. Let me now turn to outlook for this coming fiscal year. Headwinds for the auto production from the macro environment and supply chain challenges persist, although they appear to be easing a bit. Robo light vehicle production, which is a key driver for our royalty revenue, is expected to increase by around 4% in 2023 to around 85 million vehicles. Despite this improvement, production will remain well below the 95 million vehicles in 2018, that is prior to both the pandemic and the supply chain difficulties. Even with these industry-wide challenges, we expect strong growth for BlackBerry IoT this fiscal year and for revenue to be in the range of 240 to 250 million. This translates to 17% or from 17 to 21% year-on-year growth. And it's in line with the outlook given at our analyst's day last May. We see this growth coming from a combination of both ongoing momentum in new design wins, as well as an uptick in royalties. Given the anticipated timing of design wins throughout the year, we see the growth largely weighted to the second half. We expect revenue for Q1 to be in the range of 50 to 53 million. Turning now to the cybersecurity business units. Revenue for the quarter was 88 million. Billing increased sequentially for the third consecutive quarter to 107 million. Gross margin was 59 percent. ARR was 298 million, and the dollar-based net retention rate was 81 percent. This was a challenging quarter for closing large deals in the government space. We saw an elongation of sales cycle in this vertical with additional layers of approval and reviews. In particular, we saw a number of key deals slip into later quarters, and we don't consider those deal loss, but rather delay. Given the product mix of these deals that included mostly perpetual licenses, the impact on this quarter in quarter revenue was significant. However, strong billing growth from others, non-government verticals, including financial services, result in cyber billings increase overall for the third consecutive quarter. You may recall that we recently outlined a strong opportunity that we see for our Cylance products in a mid-market space. From our SMB wins this year, as well as feedback from customers, We learned that having simple but effective turnkey products is the key to scaling this business. Therefore, we productized according to the market needs and launched two new offerings under the headline, More Security, Less Complexity. These new offerings are designed to be simpler to use, more cost-effective, and deliver leading-edge security. The first product is Silence Endpoint. that brings together and augments our suite of sideline standpoint products into one easy-to-use, cost-effective solution. The product leverages our battle-hardened AI engine, along with a major user experience overhaul. This includes an addition of new OneAlert console that combines the XDR data of the XDR data source and machine learning for simple, intuitive, prioritized alert. Sidense Endpoint is also available as a managed service through Sidense Guard MDR. The second product is Sidense Edge, a product that connects users to their work effortlessly and securely right out of the box. Customers can securely access cloud-based SaaS applications as well as gain visibility into how sensitive data is stored and shared. The third development that I'd like to highlight is an exciting point of differentiation of BlackBerry versus our competitors. We integrated our ad hoc critical event management into a guard-managed service to provide unified communications for cyber crisis response, even if communication channels like emails are compromised. We will provide significantly more detail and demonstrate this new product at RSA in San Francisco next month, so please stay tuned. Turning now to UEM. We were delighted when Gartner announced that BlackBerry UEM was the only vendor voted in the top right quadrant by customers for deployment, capabilities, and support. Receiving this recognition based on review for some of the most security conscious customers in the world, demonstrate a level of performance that only BlackBerry can provide. In the market, we're seeing a tailwind from the return to corporate issue devices given concerns around security and lack of control. For customer making this transition, particularly in the financial services, but in other verticals as well, BlackBerry is seen as the go-to, most secure solution in the market, and we see this driving interest. One key competitive advantage for our product is that Microsoft Intune is unable to block specific apps that present a security or privacy risk across all devices where BlackBerry UEM can. On the product development front, we announced new feature for UEM this quarter. This includes being the first in the industry to integrate with the Adobe Experience Manager, enabling secure document signing on mobile that meets the vigorous government security standards. Once again, we secure sales with leading customers in our core regulated vertical, especially government and financial services this quarter. Among those who are able to name are Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, TD Ameritrade, the Bank of Italy, the Swiss National Bank, and the Bank of India. In government, wins including U.S. Air Force, Scottish Government, the U.S. Department of Treasury, the Netherlands Government, SSC, ICT, the Shared Service Center, and the Australian Department of Health and Human Services. Turning now to the outlook for the cyber BU. For the coming fiscal year and allowing factors such as a macro economic backdrop, we expect revenue to be in the range of 425 to 450 million. Correspondingly, we expect buildings to be in the range of 430 to 480 million, an increase of between 7 to 20% year over year. For Q1, we expect the revenue to increase sequentially and be in the range of 100 to 110 million. As was the case in the past quarter, we expect billings to continue to exceed revenue this fiscal year, which is a strong leading indicator of a return to revenue growth. Furthermore, we expect AR to return to sequential growth in the second half of this fiscal year. Moving now to licensing. Last week, we were pleased to announce the patent sale agreement with Key Patent Innovation for up to $900 million. BlackBerry will receive a combination of cash at closing and potential future royalties as a share of profits generated from the portfolio. KPI, whose team is based in Ireland, brings significant experience and expertise for maximizing the value of the patents and with it, the overall deal value for BlackBerry. Importantly, the agreement with KPI has no financing condition, and they have secured all their funding from a leading US-based investment firm with more than $30 billion in assets under management. Adding meaningfully to the overall deal value, BlackBerry will retain approximately 2,000 patents that would have been sold under the previous transaction with Catapult, as well as BlackBerry keeping all existing revenue-generating contracts. Considering all these factors, especially the assessed level of certainty and ability to execute, we consider this deal to have a higher overall value, and that will be the best outcome for our shareholder. The transaction is subject to the standard regulatory approval, and we expected it to close in Q2. Following the completion of the sale, we plan to leverage third parties to opportunistically monetize the remaining patents. However, this is likely to take some time to ramp up, so revenue excluding proceeds from the patent sale is expected to be approximately $5 million per quarter this fiscal year. In the quarter, we recognize $10 million of revenue related to past patent deals. These revenues is not as a result of net new agreements and had no impact on the sale of our patent portfolio. Let me now turn the call over to Steve for more details on our financial.

Thank you, John. As usual, my comments on our financial performance for the fourth quarter will be in non-GAAP terms unless otherwise noted. Total company revenue for the quarter was $151 million. IoT revenue was $53 million, and cybersecurity revenue was $88 million. Software product revenue as a percentage of total revenue remained in the range of 85% to 90%, and professional services made up the balance. The percentage of software product revenue that was recurring increased to around 90% given the delay of some large, mainly perpetual deals that John mentioned earlier. Licensing and other revenue was 10 million. Total company gross margin was 67%. Operating expenses for the fourth quarter were 118 million. These non-GAAP operating expenses exclude 26 million fair value gain on the convertible debentures, 15 million in amortization of acquired intangibles, 9 million in stock compensation expense, and $7 million in restructuring expenses as a result of steps taken in the quarter to streamline costs, including facilities and IT infrastructure. Non-GAAP operating expenses also exclude a $476 million non-cash accounting impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets for the SPARC reporting unit. This represents a non-cash charge of $0.82 to GAAP earnings per share. In accordance with accounting rules, we were required to perform a goodwill impairment review by determining a fair value for all our reporting units, the total of which is required to reconcile to our market capitalization. BlackBerry's market capitalization at the test date had declined year on year, similar to the broad-based market decline over the same period. Further details will be disclosed in our Form 10-K. The non-GAAP operating loss for the fourth quarter was $17 million, and non-GAAP net loss was $13 million. The two-cent non-GAAP basic loss per share for the quarter beat expectations. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the non-GAAP adjustments previously mentioned, was negative $12 million. Total cash, cash equivalents at investments were $487 million as at February 28, 2023. And free cash usage in the quarter reduced to $9 million. In this coming fiscal year, we will be focused on driving towards both profitable growth and being cash flow positive. In our IoT business, we will continue to invest given the relatively high level of visibility we have for growth. On the cyber side, we have identified a clear plan to deliver expansion of both gross margin and operating margin. The outlook for the coming year is for a significantly lower EPS loss and cash flow usage. That concludes my comments, and I'll turn it back to John.

Thank you, Steve. Before we open the line for Q&A, let me recap on the key message from the quarter. This was a strong quarter in the record year for QNX royalty backlog for BlackBerry IoT. We enter FY24 with significant design momentum, and although we still face macroeconomics and supply chain headwind, we expect revenue growth for approximately 20% this coming fiscal year. The cyber business unit was impacted this quarter by elongated sales cycle in government, causing a number of large deals to slip, to later quarters. However, the non-government business drove sequential billing growth for the third consecutive quarter. We expect to deliver revenue growth of approximately 5% and billings growth of approximately 15% this fiscal year and to return to sequential ARR growth for the cybersecurity business, excuse me, for the cybersecurity business unit in the second half. And finally, we enter into a fully funded agreement to sell the non-core patent portfolio for up to $900 million, while also retaining more patents and retaining existing revenue contracts. That concludes my remark. Jason, can you please open the line for Q&A?

Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. To ask a question, please press star 1 on your telephone keypad. Please make sure your line is unmuted. Again, press star 1 to ask a question. We'll pause for just a moment to allow everyone an opportunity to signal for a question. We request that you limit yourself to one question and one follow-up. Our first question comes from Luke Junk from Baird. Please go ahead.

Good afternoon. Thank you for taking the questions. To start, hoping you could expand, please, on where you were able to take costs out of the P&L already this quarter, so OPEX. down sequentially and looking forward, what you envision with respect to your plan to deliver gross margin and operating margin expansion, especially in cybersecurity. Maybe if you could just speak to some specific actions and areas of the cost stack that you're focused on. Thank you.

Okay. We have been focusing on improving gross margin and operating margin for the cyber business for quite some time. And in this past quarter, we just see some of the results. Shifting costs to a lower cost-based area, hiring people in those areas more so than hiring people in a more expensive area is certainly one way of doing that, particularly mostly in the replacement of attrition. And a little bit more disciplined on pricings and discounting has also been put in place. So by and large, you know, we were able to do that. And our plan caused us to continue to do that for this balance of the year, the new fiscal year. And versus the difference between that and, oh, and then we also reduce G&A costs where we can. And we've done a lot. Facility costs and other aspects of it. So many different areas. It's a very concerted effort. Let's see. From an IoT perspective, this is the unit that has been exempt from focusing on that. They are just focusing on growth. And they have, I think they're still going to hire 200 some people this year, or if they could right now, assuming we have the candidates. So those are the kind of the how we allocate capital and spending.

Yeah, thank you for that, John. Very helpful. And then for my Paul, I'm hoping to take a step back and just talk about the bigger picture in IoT and in auto specifically, and just love to get your perspective on the focus of that market going forward from here. One of the clearest takeaways at CES this year walking the floor was the prevalence of just an increase in centralized architectures, which also has very clear implications for auto software and ultimately software-defined vehicles. Can you just speak to where you're finding your auto customers right now in terms of their readiness for a software forward future in auto? And do you think there's an increasing sense of urgency, especially at OEMs, trying to figure out software? Thank you.

Yeah, yeah, very, very much so. I think you said everything is consistent with what we have been learning from customers and analysts also. So you talk to each of the OEM, they all have a strong investment in SDG, I mean, the software-defined vehicle, and approach. And they need foundational software, and they need it from a safety perspective. A number of years back, there were a couple of large OEMs attempted to do the foundational software themselves, and they have all decided to join force with us and work with us directly. And these are the very big names. And we, of course, welcome the partnership. So you look at our win rate, and I don't want to jinx it, but it's extremely, extremely high. In fact, I think our team wins 90% of the deals out there, something like that. And then in addition to that, our... products related to hypervisors, ADARs, related to a cockpit, all very popular wins out there and usage out there. And then I also wanted to say beyond auto, we're also seeing a lot of strong interest. As I said in my script, all the chip technology company is pushing multi-core products. and multiprocessing parallel processing and all that good stuff. And so, and they needed safety and they need a container or container. They need a hypervisor. And so, and, and so we, we seem to have a very good strong track record in the eyes of the customer. So I'm pretty, I'm pretty comfortable that we're going to see continual growth at least for the, for the immediate future. Thank you for that. I'll go ahead and leave it there. Okay, thank you.

Our next question comes from Daniel Chan from TD Securities. Please go ahead.

Hi, thank you. When you're monetizing the remaining patents, are you looking to license them out or are you looking to sell them? If you're looking to license them, should we expect it to be faster and more broadly licensed considering their standards essential patents?

Yeah, it's licensing. So the remaining patent is now in two groups. One is the transactions. One group is the embedded and the cybersecurity patent. And the other group is the mobile patent, mobile phones and related networking patents. So the latter, we will monetize through third party. And probably in some cases, we'll trim the patent down a little bit by selling some. And the former, we haven't really decided the overall plan yet. And of course, we will always be interested in licensing to people, but it's probably not going to be an active process.

Okay, thanks for that, John. And then, John, around this time, five years ago, the board extended your arrangement to lead the company until November this year. Just wondering whether you can share with us what your plans are as we get closer to November.

No, no. We started the conversation between me and the board, so stay tuned on that. We don't have anything to report at this point.

Okay. Thank you.

Sure. Our next question comes from Mike Walkley from Canaccord. Please go ahead. Hi, Mike.

Hey, John. Just want to dig a little bit more into the cybersecurity business. It's great to hear on the SMB side, a simplified approach and a managed response as we hear that more and more. Can you talk about competition within that business and with this new approach, how quickly you get that implemented and is that giving you confidence in ARR returning to growth second half of the year?

Good question. So there's a lot of competition. I think you folks here, different cybersecurity company, all kind of gun in for the SMB. The good things about the SMB market is A, big, and B, they lack the security, the ability to have their own security team normally. So they are very receptive to our MDR solution, our guard solution. And then we're now streamlining these turnkey product set just to make sure that they don't need to have a certain level of capability or knowledge before they could put it in use. Either they use it themselves or they use us to help them to use it. But it is a very popular, you know, I think you're going to hear it from, you already heard it, I'm sure, from most of all the key players. The good news is the market is big, it's growing. I think there's a lot of SMB for the first time take this investment quite seriously because they have to, given what the trend of the cybersecurity world looks like and the ransom world looks like. And there's a lot of white space for replacement of prior technology, the first generation. So with that two combination, the market is big, but the competition is fierce too. I would agree with that.

Okay, that's helpful. And yeah, I think simplified approach is what the S&P is really looking for. Just as my follow-up question, just digging a little more into cybersecurity, is ARR, stable to growing outside the UEM business? And maybe you can update us on UEM, kind of where that is on turning off some customers that you wanted to kind of end of life as you focus more on the large government type deals.

Yeah. UEM has, in the last couple of quarters, AR and the business is stable, which is a good sign. Gave us some level of comfort.

Okay. Thank you. Sure. Our next question comes from Paul Treiber from RBC Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Thanks, and good afternoon. Just since we're on the topic of cybersecurity, could you speak to the traction that you've seen across selling cyber into the UEM base, which is probably large enterprise?

Yeah. Let's see. We see some, but not dominant because our UES, our silent base is typically SMB and our UEM base are typically very large name. But on the other hand, there has been some upsell. I wouldn't, so I would say that is promising, but not very high volume at this point. But however, this is something that we will, we will go do. Um, and, and mostly you're going to have to go after the, you know, the McAfee and the, and the cement tech and the trend micro base.

And what fundamentally has been the challenge? Is it, is it product? Is it, is it pricing? Is it sales? Can you help us better understand that? Yeah.

Three years ago, it was the product. Um, you know, we lack, uh, our EDR was not as up to snuff as everybody else. We have better EPP, but the world wants both. So we, we slipped from that, you know, now it's really more on, on what leverage we could create. Now product is now get back in, in competitive mode. We have some differentiated things that, you know, based on our AI model and the silence or AI model and the lightweight and the and the offline mode and all that. So we have some really strong reasons for people to, customer to take a look at and use. But we need a better attraction in the indirect sales side. Our direct sales people, and after the last year, year plus building and so forth, we feel comfortable that the productivity is there. Then now we need to get some leverage. We need more deals. And the only way that we could do that is to engage the third party better. And that's the number one focus in this year's plan.

That's helpful. And then just one more, if I may, just in regards to IoT, you mentioned very strong win rates. Could you speak to the pricing and how ARPUs are tracking? And, you know, obviously OEMs are hard to sell into. Do you still see opportunities to expand ARPU? You know, like where you were targeting a couple of years ago, I think there was a number of like $25 or so per vehicle out there. Is that still an achievable long-term target?

Absolutely. In fact, I would say to you today, I'm, I, I hope I don't have to eat these words myself. I would say to you today, and I'll explain why too. Today, I have more confidence in a 25 per car output than when I first come up with that as a goal a number of years back. And the reason is now we are basically being accepted as a foundational software for major auto company, like names that I could review like Volvo and and BMWs and Volkswagen, and these are all public information. So they are all standardized on BlackBerry QNX. So when you have a foundational software, and earlier the conversation regarding software-defined vehicle, allow us to upsell modules. And that brings the different type of economics, because in the past, we're talking about one copy, and charge it one time. Now we're talking about building on that platform and upselling. So I think our people are very excited about it. And rightfully so. I see the same trend. Customers are more receptive in buying more adapted modules and then plucked onto the platform. And which, of course, we have safety certification across everything we sell. Thanks for taking the questions.

Our next question comes from Todd Coupland from CIBC. Please go ahead.

Hi, Todd.

Hi, John. Good evening.

I want to follow up on that last ARPU question. Maybe I'll ask it a little differently. When you look at the IoT backlog that you quote, what would be the software per vehicle embedded in that, in the WINS that you have already? Is it high single digits? Is it double digits in that $25 range? Can you give us any color on actually?

Yeah, yeah. So there are a handful of WINS that could push us in that area of $20, $25, but most of them I would say in high single digit and low double digit. Okay.

I mean, obviously, if you're $10 or higher, that's quite a bit higher than just the infotainment OS where you've come from. When would you see production volume of those double-digit type ARPUs starting to kick in?

Well, part of our reason that we feel, I don't know what I should say, comfortable, but we feel okay with our you know, 17 to 20% growth this year. It's because we expect to see some of this, the so-called startup production, the SOP. And so I believe FY25, 26, we have a higher growth number. If you remember, we said a five-year compounded growth rate was 20%. So we came in the first year at 16%. This year is going to be 17 to 20, and so that implies the math says that we'll have to be over 20% the next couple of years.

So what you're saying with that, those handful of higher ARPU deals later in the year, that's what gets you to that, I don't know exactly where the number lands in Q2, but let's call it, 65 to 75 million a quarter implied for Q3 and Q4 if you take your guide at face value.

Yes, that's correct. We map in the production. The only wrinkle is something that will not be within our control. The wrinkle will be a macroeconomics issue of high interest rate. That's slowdown production. A deterioration of supply chain. or chip availability, that will slow down production. That will put a wrinkle on us in the second half. But given everything we know today and all the conversation with the OEMs, the team feel very comfortable, quite comfortable. I'm usually very optimistic, so you have to factor that in. They feel comfortable of delivering what my outlook that I provided earlier.

And baked into the outlook is that $85 million production volume for the market, and then you'll get that higher ARPU even if you don't get back to those 2018 levels?

Yes, that's the math that we base it on. Yes, correct. Okay.

And my second question has to do with the outstanding debentures. What's your thinking on a target balance sheet? With the extra cash from the patent sale, would you... look to repay that debt, or would you look to roll it over?

Just talk about your plans. Our plan is to repay the debt. Repay all of it?

Yep. Now, if somebody wants to roll a small portion over, we will be open to it, but that's not our current planning.

Okay, that's great. Thanks a lot.

Sure. I would like to turn the call back over to John Chen, Executive Chair and CEO of BlackBerry, for closing remarks.

Thank you. Thank you, Jason. Before we end the call today, I'd like to remind you about a few events coming up. Between April 24th and 27th, the BlackBerry will be at RSA Conference, and we'll be demonstrating the new product offerings that I mentioned earlier. So if you happen to be there, please do drop by. On May 17, we'll be hosting a virtual analyst day in which management will provide a comprehensive overview of our long-term strategy, product innovation, market opportunities, go-to-market approach, and of course, the financial outlook. Then on May 23rd, we'll be hosting a retail investor-focused live Q&A in which Giorgio Matteo, the president of BlackBerry Cybersecurity, and Matthias Eriksson, president of BlackBerry IoT, will answer your questions. So please feel free to send them to Tim in advance at investorrelations, one word, pro, at blackberry.com, or you can submit them through the portal on that day. We'll provide more detail on all these events in the coming weeks, so please stay tuned. As always, I thank every one of you for joining today's call, and I hope to speak to you soon.

This concludes today's call. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.
