Troubled smartphone maker Blackberry has reported a net loss of $5.9bn (£3.5bn) for its latest financial year.
However, in the three months to 1 March it recorded a smaller-than-expected loss of $423m, compared with a loss of $4.4bn in the previous quarter.
The company said it was pleased with its fourth quarter performance, and that it was on "a path to returning to growth and profitability".
Boss John Chen said the firm was moving to a "sounder financial footing".

During the financial year, the company's losses included $934m on unsold Z10 smartphones, and restructuring costs of $512m.
Fourth quarter revenues fell to $976m, below analysts' expectations of $1.1bn.
As part of its turnaround plan the firm is focusing on its services arm, and is also putting renewed emphasis on its keyboard devices.
Mr Chen was appointed as interim chief executive in November 2013.

Blackberry's shares fell nearly 5% on Friday, reversing initial gains of over 5%.
