The Canada-based handset maker BlackBerry has reported profit of $98 million for the fourth quarter ended March 2013.

During the quarter under review, the phone manufacturer shipped 6 million smartphones, including about 1 million units of the newly launched smartphone BlackBerry 10. The company also shipped 70,000 PlayBook tablets during the quarter.

Further, the company’s revenue declined from $4.2 billion in the fourth quarter of financial year 2012 to $2.7 billion for the corresponding period in 2013.

For the full-year ending 2012-13, BlackBerry registered a decline in its revenues from $18.4 billion in 2011-2012 to $11.1 billion. The company, however, reported a net loss of $646 million for 2012-2013, against a net profit of $1.2 billion in 2011-2012.
