Back when RIM announced its first quarter fiscal 2010 results, we brought you a summary and we’ll be doing the same for this coming quarter. If you personally have money invested in RIM, I would recommend listening anyways.
On September 24th, 2009, RIM will be reporting results for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 after the close of the market. A conference call and live webcast will be held beginning at 5 pm ET, which can be accessed by dialing 800-733-7571 or by logging on at www.rim.com/investors/events/index.shtml.
A replay of the conference call will also be available at approximately 7 pm by dialing 416-640-1917 and entering passcode 21289982#. This replay will be available until midnight ET October 8, 2009.

With the aid of Rogers’ Q2 financial report and some trusty pie chart skills, some folks at Wireless North put together the numbers which constitute Rogers’ $75 average monthly revenue per user.
General overhead, shiny offices, salaries etc: $30
Cost of sales (Direct costs, electricity bill for those towers etc.): $7.69
Marketing (You might have seen some): $7.44
Depreciation (Infrastructure cost of the network): $6.06
Debt (interest on loans for past spectrum auctions and investments): $3.55
Profit (before taxes): $27.89
Yep, a little over a third of that monthly bill goes right into Ted’s coffers. Just a friendly reminder before anyone gets too angry at Telus or Bell for charging for incoming SMS messages.

Chalk it up to poor forecasts, issues with iPhone pricing, or less than stellar subscriber numbers, but Rogers’ 12% earnings increase last quarter did little to assuage stockholders. Stock price is down to around $34 from $39 last week despite making $CAN 364 million last quarter versus $CAN 299 million last year. Unfortunately, wireless additions were down to 92,000 versus 133,000 last year, but this doesn’t take into account the full punch of the iPhone, and you can bet that the BlackBerry Bold will be pushing Q3 numbers in a good direction as well.

So the quarterly results are clearly hurting RIM’s stock, which dove to $116 this morning, but some analysts agree that the mediocre Q1 report is just a calm before the Storm Thunder. A lot of new products are on the way from RIM which demand R&D and marketing dollars now for successful launches later this year, causing many to brush off this quarter’s performance. Of course, the confirmed AT&T delay makes us wonder how much wind the 3G iPhone will take out of the BlackBerry Bold’s sails. What do you guys think? Is this just a slump before the big show, or a sign of the End of Days for RIM? Do lower stock prices make now a perfect time to buy?

You would think that gaining 107% growth on last year’s revenue would be something worth bragging about, but apparently analysts were expecting a little more from Research in Motion in the Q1 earnings report issued yesterday, and as a result shares dropped 7.8% overnight. Subscribers were up by 2.3 million, totaling 16 million, and revenue hit $2.24 billion for the quarter. Analysts were expecting $2.27 billion – not what you’d call a dramatic failure of expectations, but it seems like you either blow the expectations out of the water, or you disappoint… There’s not much gray area in between. Spending was a little higher due to BlackBerry Bold marketing, and the incoming 3G iPhone has stockholders a little shakey. Last week RIM’s stock hit a lofty $147, so this is a bit of a downer to follow up with, but c’mon, the Bold is coming up this quarter, which will do its fair share of impressing.
Full Q1 numbers behind the jump…

The numbers are in, and they’re peachy as ever. Revenue was up to $1.88 billion for the quarter and $6.01 billion for the year, both doubled from the same time last year. 2.18 new subscribers were added, capping out the total BlackBerry users at 14 million, which lines up nicely with their updated forcast issued back in February. Investors were looking forward to the report, and by the sounds of it, they weren’t disappointed.

Canaccord Adams has an optimistic outlook for RIM’s quarterly report coming out tonight, claiming results will exceed expectations. There’s high a volume of orders out there for the recently-launched CDMA Curve, slated to do go out across three carriers, which should push sales well into the next quarter. As for the competition? “[Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek] sees no credible threats to RIM’s dominance in this segment, saying Nokia is ’still nowhere’ in enterprise and Apple’s iPhone has ‘failed to make a dent’ despite recent enterprise-related announcements.” The Financial Post also alludes to a clamshell BlackBerry. I dunno about you guys, but I haven’t heard a peep about that. Considering it was mentioned in the same breath as “touchscreen”, it might be worth shrugging off as wishful thinking.

The results are in, and they’re peachy as ever. Revenue was up 22% from last quarter to $1.67 billion, with $1.8 – $1.87 billion forecasted for next quarter. RIM’s stock has been enjoying a jump, having climbed $12.12 to $119.11 in early trading. 1.65 million new subscribers came in and 3.9 million devices shipped out during the 3 months leading up to December 1st. With such good news, we can brush off the iPhone a little more soundly, along with their 1.1 million units sold last quarter.

In case you’ve forgotten, RIM’s conference call is tonight at 5 PM EST. ABI Research is guessing that BlackBerry will have cornered 10% of the smartphone market after this quarter, second only to Nokia. RIM’s stock took a nice jump this morning, showing some investor confidence despite a few shaky weeks. These calls tend to be pretty optimisic, but question period could bring up some issues hint at RIM’s direction for the new year. We’ll be sure to give you guys the low-down first thing tomorrow morning.
