Byrna Technologies Announces Preliminary Fiscal Record Third Quarter Revenues of $28.2 Million, Up 35% From Fiscal Q3 2024

Expanding Retail Presence and Dramatic Increase in Web Traffic Drive Strong Momentum for Byrna Heading Into Upcoming Holiday Fourth Quarter

ANDOVER, Mass., September 4, 2025 - Byrna Technologies Inc. (Byrnaor theCompany) (Nasdaq: BYRN), a personal defense technology company specializing in the development, manufacture, and sale of innovative less-lethal personal security solutions, today announced select preliminary financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended August 31, 2025.

Preliminary Third Quarter Results

Based on preliminary unaudited results, Byrna expects total revenue for the fiscal third quarter of 2025 to be $28.2 million, representing a 35% increase from $20.9 million in the fiscal third quarter of 2024. The year-over-year growth was driven largely by strong dealer and chain store sales; however, Byrna saw year-over-year gains in every segment of the business. While the third quarter is typically a seasonally lighter period for the personal security products category, Byrna’s expanding retail footprint, international growth, and increasing brand visibility drove this strong year-over-year sales increase.

Management Commentary

“In the third quarter, Byrna delivered strong growth on the back of continued momentum in the dealer and chain store channel,” said Bryan Ganz, CEO of Byrna. “In addition to this strong showing in brick-and-mortar and international sales, Byrna saw a significant sales spike toward the end of August across all domestic channels due to our innovative AI-supported marketing approach that has dramatically expanded the number of consumers we are reaching.

“This was particularly evident on our e-commerce channel, where average daily sessions on Byrna.com jumped from about 36,000 in July to about 52,000 in August, a 45% month-over-month increase. At the same time, average daily sessions on Amazon jumped from about 15,000 in July to about 23,000 in August. We believe that this surge in sessions has the potential to drive growth in future quarters, similar to the jump in sessions we saw in the fourth quarter of 2023 when we introduced our celebrity endorsement model.

“While this surge in sessions did not translate immediately into increased sales due to the lag time between consumers’ initial introduction to Byrna and their purchase decision, by the end of August, we began to see a noticeable lift in sales as our online conversion rate strengthened toward the historical average. During the final ten days of August, our online conversion rate climbed 57% compared to the prior 10-day period, reaching 0.9%. This performance drove sales up 47% even as sessions held steady at an average of about 56,000 per day.

“This performance bodes well for Byrna as we enter the all-important holiday fourth quarter. With sessions and organic search at an all-time high and Byrna products now offered in more than 1,000 chain store locations, Byrna believes it has the potential to set a new revenue record in Q4.”
