BYRN Byrna Technologies Inc

Byrna Technologies Inc. (“Byrna” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BYRN), a technology company specializing in the development, manufacture, and sale of innovative less-lethal personal security solutions, today announced that it surpassed 500,000 launchers sold in November 2024. This significant milestone, achieved just five and a half years after the sale of its first launcher in 2019, is a testament to Byrna’s increasing market adoption.

The Byrna HD, the Company's first launcher, was sold on June 1, 2019. In just two and a half years, Byrna reached its first milestone of 100,000 launchers sold in Q4 2021. By Q1 2023, that figure had grown to 250,000. Byrna introduced the Byrna LE launcher in early 2023, and over the past two years, Byrna has doubled its units sold, demonstrating the increasing demand for Byrna’s less-lethal launchers.

“Reaching 500,000 launchers sold in just over five years is a remarkable achievement for Byrna,” said Byrna CEO Bryan Ganz. “Since our first launcher sale in 2019, Byrna has transformed into a company capable of scaling its operations while also raising awareness about less-lethal solutions. I am incredibly proud of our employees for their dedication to reaching this milestone, and we look forward to continuing to provide individuals and law enforcement with innovative security solutions for years to come.”

Byrna’s strategic focus on leveraging celebrity influencers has helped significantly boost brand awareness and revenue growth. This approach contributed to a doubling of annual revenue from Byrna’s fiscal year 2023 to fiscal year 2024, establishing a strong foundation for continued expansion.
