BlackBerry seeks to expand aggressively outside the automotive sector through the General Embedded Market (GEM) segment, which currently represents 20% of QNX revenue, targeting the robotics, physical AI, and industrial automation markets. These efforts were culminated by winning a significant deal with Johnson & Johnson to power a new AI-backed smart heart pump using the secure QNX OS operating system. Additionally, the company relies on its close strategic partnerships with silicon giants such as ARM, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm to strengthen its position as a core, trusted software platform for advanced physical AI systems and robotics.
The Secure Communications segment underwent a major transformation to return to a growth path for the first time in six years, achieving revenues of $72.5 million in the fourth quarter, representing an 8% year-over-year growth and exceeding expectations by 12%. This recovery was driven by increasing demand for digital sovereignty and defense spending, particularly sales of the encrypted Secusmart platform to the German government and the expansion of the multi-year contract with Shared Services Canada. The segment also succeeded in securing new contracts and renewals with prestigious entities such as the German Federal Bank (Bundesbank), the Council of the European Union, the US Air Force, and the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
