BLACKBERRY FIRM PROFITS BEAT EXPECTATIONS

Baku, September 17 (AZERTAC). Shares in Blackberry-maker Research in Motion (RIM) rose more than 4% in after-hours trade after the firm posted stronger-than-expected profits, according to BBC News.

Net profit for the three months to August rose to $796.7m from $475.6m a year earlier.

The company has recently been involved in a row over data security in India and the Middle East.

This was partly to blame for the firm adding fewer subscribers than expected in the quarter, RIM said.

But RIM`s co-chief executive Jim Balsillie said he believed the disputes would be successfully resolved.

“I`m optimistic that a positive and constructive outcome can be achieved.”

Revenues rose 31% to $4.62bn. Analysts had forecast revenues of $4.47bn.
