BlackBerry Expands Government of Canada Secure Communications Deal
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
BlackBerry renewed a multi-year Canada deal, expanding SecuSUITE and continuing UEM use across agencies.
BlackBerry secure comms revenue hit $67M in Q3, above guidance, driven by UEM renewals and Secusmart growth.
BlackBerry raised secure comms outlook to $247M-$251M and total revenue forecast to $531M-$541M.
BlackBerry Limited (BB - Free Report) has renewed and expanded its long-standing secure communications partnership with the Government of Canada, reinforcing its role as a trusted provider of sovereign security solutions. Under the renewed multi-year agreement signed with Shared Services Canada, the government will continue using BlackBerry UEM while significantly increasing the deployment of BlackBerry SecuSUITE to support mission-critical communications across federal departments and agencies. The deal highlights Canada’s continued trust in BlackBerry as a national partner and underscores its commitment to domestically built technologies that safeguard national security while enabling global export of trusted solutions.
The expanded deployment will see BlackBerry SecuSUITE play a broader role in delivering interception-resistant, government-grade secure voice and messaging services for senior leaders, defense personnel, national security officials and public safety organizations operating in sensitive and high-risk environments. Purpose-built for government use, the platform ensures end-to-end secure communications designed to function in contested settings without relying on consumer messaging applications.
The agreement also aligns with Canada’s broader objective to enhance domestic defense and security capabilities by investing in Canadian-built technologies that protect critical government functions and support export readiness.
With its secure communications solutions trusted by NATO, all G7 governments, most G20 members, and several of the world’s largest banks, BlackBerry continues to play a vital role in protecting national security and maintaining public trust worldwide.
Management highlighted that the agreement reflects BlackBerry’s decades-long experience supporting governments and allies, while strengthening sovereign capabilities and protecting sensitive operations.
The Secure Communications business remains strong, with revenues reaching $67 million in third-quarter fiscal 2026, above guidance. Results were driven by stronger-than-expected UEM renewals and effective navigation of the shutdown, with UEM accounting for just over half of segment revenue, while Secusmart and AtHoc made up the balance. Secusmart grew sequentially, while AtHoc delivered both sequential and annual growth despite its higher exposure to the shutdown. After offloading Cylance, the company is placing greater emphasis on Secure Communications, supported by a stronger financial position.
For the third straight quarter, the company raised its full-year Secure Communications revenue outlook, lifting the range to $247 million–$251 million, with last quarter’s high end now the new low end. For fiscal 2026, the company has lifted the midpoint of its total revenue outlook by $6 million to a new range of $531 million–$541 million.
