Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Revenue and Segment Disclosures REVENUE AND SEGMENT DISCLOSURES
The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by the CODM for making decisions and assessing performance as a source of the Company’s reportable operating segments. The CODM, who is the CEO of the Company, makes decisions and assesses the performance of the Company using three operating segments.
The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. The Company does not specifically allocate assets to operating segments for internal reporting purposes.
Segment Disclosures
With the sale of the Cylance business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, and the classification of the business as discontinued operations as discussed in Note 2, the Company is organized and managed as three operating segments: QNX, Secure Communications, and Licensing. Prior period comparatives have been recast to reflect this change in reportable operating segments.
The following table shows information by reportable operating segment for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2025 and November 30, 2024:
