Blackberry company RIM reports $125m loss
Blackberry manufacturer Research in Motion (RIM) has reported a quarterly loss, due in part to falling revenues on the back of weak smartphone shipments.
The Canadian company made a net loss for the three months to 3 March of $125m (£78m), compared with a profit of $934m a year earlier.
Revenues fell to $4.2bn from $5.2bn.
The firm also suggested it would refocus on the corporate market rather than on individual consumers.
It also announced the resignation of former co-chief executive Jim Balsillie.
Chief technology officer David Yacht will also be standing down.
Shares in the company fell as much as 9% in after-hours trading following the trading statement. They have fallen by 80% over the past year.
Shipments of BlackBerry smartphones in the quarter fell to 11.1 million, down 21% from the previous three-month period.
