The Company defines QNX royalty backlog as estimated future revenue from variable forecasted royalties. The estimate is based on QNX royalty rates and projections of anticipated volumes using historical experience and current customer projections that management believes are reasonable over the expected life of a design. QNX royalty backlog may not be indicative of actual future revenue. Revenue ultimately recognized is subject to several factors, including actual production volumes and potential terminations or modifications of customer contracts.

Many factors could cause BlackBerry s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation: changes in the scope, timing or status of the customer program; delays in development, integration, certification, deployment or commencement of production; actual production volumes differing from current projections; modifications, suspensions or terminations of customer contracts or programs; changes in royalty rates or product configurations; the customer s ability to successfully develop, manufacture and market its vehicles; BlackBerry s and its collaborators ability to develop, integrate, support and enhance Alloy Kore; the dependence of BlackBerry s products and services on interoperability with rapidly changing systems provided by third parties; BlackBerry s dependence in part on its relationships with customers, suppliers, collaborators, resellers and channel partners; intense competition; changes in industry standards, customer requirements, market conditions or technology; adverse macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including trade policies and national security concerns; risks relating to intellectual property, open-source software, product performance, cybersecurity, regulation and litigation; and fluctuations in BlackBerry s quarterly revenue and operating results.

Press ReleaseSeptember 21, 2026
Coretura Selects Alloy Kore to Advance a Unique Software-Defined Vehicle Platform for Its Commercial Vehicle CustomersCoretura, the Joint Venture Between Daimler Truck and Volvo Group, Selects Foundational Software Layer for Its Vehicle OS to Accelerate SDV InnovationSTUTTGART, Germany, WATERLOO, ONTARIO, September 22, 2026 Vector, a leading ecosystem partner for software-defined systems, and QNX, a division of BlackBerry Limited (NYSE BB TSX BB) today announced that Coretura, the software-defined vehicle (SDV) platform company founded by Daimler Truck and Volvo Group, has selected Alloy Kore, the companies jointly developed foundational software layer, to accelerate its vision for the next-generation of software-defined commercial vehicles. The milestone underscores Coretura s pioneering efforts to redefine how commercial vehicles are developed, deployed, and continuously improved through software updates, and marks the first design win for Alloy Kore, reinforcing its role as a trusted foundation for SDV innovation.Leading the Transformation of Commercial Vehicle SoftwareCoretura is building an SDV platform for commercial vehicles, based on one platform and one standard. To advance this mission, Coretura has selected Alloy Kore as the safety-certified software platform foundation within its SDV platform architecture, targeted at high-performance compute (HPC) in the commercial vehicle environment. Coretura was founded to advance mobility at the speed of ideas, said Johan Lund n, CEO, Coretura. We are building one foundation the industry can rely on, so our customers can concentrate their engineering on the applications that bring value to theirs. Selecting Alloy Kore is a deliberate step on that path, and it helps us deliver commercial vehicles that keep getting smarter, safer and more valuable long after launch. Alloy Kore A Strategic Foundation for SDVsThe industry is rapidly advancing toward vehicles powered by hundreds of millions of lines of code, yet today s fragmented development model leads to inefficiencies, integration challenges, and rising costs. Alloy Kore addresses these challenges by combining a safety-certified real-time operating system with a pre-integrated set of common automotive system services into a single, scalable vehicle software foundation for deployment across HPC. The result is significantly reduced integration overhead, faster development cycles, streamlined certification efforts and the ability for OEMs to focus engineering investment on brand differentiation at the application layer.Implementing Alloy Kore The Vector DistributionCoretura selected Alloy Kore through the Vector Distribution, a ready-to-use implementation of the platform. Built on the Alloy Kore architecture, the distribution combines the automotive OS foundation with Vector's middleware, communication, and integration capabilities for deployment in high-performance computing environments. For Coretura, this will provide a validated and production-ready software environment that can

be adapted to the requirements of its commercial vehicle platform while maintaining a consistent software foundation across development programs.From Early Access to First CustomerCoretura s selection of Alloy Kore reflects a wider shift toward shared software foundations, with engineering concentrated where it genuinely differentiates. Coretura represents a bold vision for the future of commercial vehicles, where software drives innovation, and the company s selection of Alloy Kore represents a significant step for the future of software-defined commercial vehicles, said John Wall, President, QNX. Coretura is building the software-defined vehicle platform this industry needs, and they have chosen Alloy Kore as the certified foundational software layer beneath it. That is precisely the role we designed it for. Coretura s decision to adopt Alloy Kore marks an important milestone, not only for our platform, but for the advancement of software-defined commercial vehicles as a whole, said Dr. Matthias Traub, President and Managing Director, Vector. The industry needs an open, production-ready software foundation that helps manage complexity and accelerates innovation. Together with QNX, we developed Alloy Kore for exactly this purpose a scalable foundation that, as part of a software-defined vehicle platform, enables OEMs to deliver differentiation faster and more efficiently.
