Byrna Technologies Reports Impressive Preliminary Fourth Quarter Revenues
Byrna Technologies Inc. (“Byrna” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BYRN), is making significant strides in the personal security sector, highlighted by its preliminary financial results for the recent fiscal fourth quarter. The technology company, known for its innovative less-lethal personal security solutions, reported total revenue of $28 million for the quarter, marking an impressive 79% increase from the previous year’s figure of $15.6 million.
Strong Financial Growth
The Company’s full-year revenue estimates also paint a promising picture, projected to reach $85.8 million, which more than doubles the $42.6 million recorded in fiscal year 2023. This surge in revenue can be largely attributed to Byrna’s effective marketing strategies and the holiday season sales boost.
Robust E-Commerce Performance
Byrna's e-commerce efforts soared, contributing $8.9 million more than in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, with e-commerce representing 76% of the total sales for the quarter. Production capacity was ramped up accordingly, with over 55,000 launchers manufactured, allowing Byrna to meet the escalating demand while ensuring sufficient inventory ahead of a strong December.
Factors Contributing to Growth
Successful Holiday Sales
The strategic timing of marketing campaigns around holiday season sales, such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday, coupled with Byrna’s commitment to enhancing customer fulfillment operations, has significantly bolstered revenue. Although orders from these promotional days will be reflected in the subsequent quarter, the potential impact on Byrna's future revenue is expected to be substantial.
Global Market Expansion
International sales have also seen an uptick, generating an additional $1 million, including $43,000 from Byrna’s new partnership with Byrna LATAM. This development underscores Byrna’s strategy to expand its footprint beyond the domestic market, tapping into international demand for less-lethal security solutions.

CEO Bryan Ganz expressed a strong outlook on the Company’s trajectory, stating, “This year, we solidified our position as the leader in the personal less-lethal self-defense product category.” He emphasized the success of Byrna’s marketing initiatives in enhancing brand visibility and the normalization of less-lethal products as a practical alternative to traditional firearms.
