BYRN News & Events

The Company also ended the quarter with approximately $1.1 million in backlog, slightly above typical first-quarter levels due to shipment timing at quarter-end. Conn Davis, who was appointed Chief Executive Officer on March 3, 2026, stated, "Our first quarter results reflect Byrna's typical post-holiday seasonal pattern while continuing to demonstrate year-over-year growth. Byrna's mission is grounded in providing personal safety solutions that help people protect themselves while reducing the likelihood of lethal outcomes. As awareness of effective less-lethal options continues to grow, Byrna remains focused on advancing the category through innovative and highly effective solutions. I am excited to build on the strong foundation established by Bryan Ganz and the team as we continue to expand awareness of both the category and the Byrna brand, supported by continued expansion in retail distribution, a growing product portfolio, continued operational scale, and broader reach for our message."

Byrna Technologies (BYRN) announced that Bryan Ganz is retiring as Chief Executive Officer, CEO, and as a member of the Company's Board of Directors. Following an extensive search process, with the assistance of a leading independent search firm, the Byrna Board has appointed Conn Davis to succeed Ganz and join the Board as a Director, effective immediately. To facilitate a smooth transition, Ganz will serve as an advisor to support the incoming CEO for up to six months. Additionally, as part of Byrna's broader leadership succession strategy, TJ Kennedy, who has served as a Director since September 2025, has been elected to succeed Herbert Hughes as Chair of the Board. Hughes will continue to serve as a Director on the Board. Davis most recently served in a series of executive leadership positions at MasterBrand (MBC)

Reports Q4 revenue $35.2M, consensus $34.92M. Byrna CEO Bryan Ganz stated: "In 2025, we scaled Byrna from a largely direct-to-consumer business model, driven by conservative-leaning celebrity endorsers, into a diversified multi-platform model focused on reaching a broader audience through our nationwide dealer base. This was supported in large part by our expansion from roughly 300 chain store locations at the beginning of 2025 to approximately 900 chain store locations at the end of the year. In addition to these national and well-known chain stores, Byrna is carried at approximately 600 additional brick-and-mortar locations comprised of distributors, independent dealers, premier dealers, show dealers, and Company-owned retail stores, bringing our total footprint to more than 1,500 locations where you can touch, feel (and often shoot) a Byrna before you buy."
