Byrna Technologies Reports Strong Direct-to-Consumer Prime Day and July 4th Sales, Growth in Brick & Mortar Presence Underscores Omnichannel Growth Momentum
ANDOVER, Mass., July 23, 2025 - Byrna Technologies Inc. ("Byrna" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: BYRN), a personal defense technology company specializing in the development, manufacture, and sale of innovative less-lethal personal security solutions, today announced notable sales momentum across its e-commerce channels during Amazon's Prime Day sale and the July 4th holiday promotional period on Byrna.com.
Amazon Prime Day sales increased 28% year-over-year, while Byrna.com sales during the July 4th period rose 18%. These recent results build on Byrna's record Q2 2025 revenue of $28.5 million and reflect rising brand awareness and sustained year-over-year growth in consumer demand for Byrna's products, including the newly released Compact Launcher (CL). While this year's Prime Day ran for four days instead of the typical two, this growth highlights a broader trend in which Amazon.com sales are growing at a faster pace than Byrna.com sales.
This shift points to evolving consumer preferences and the growing traction Byrna is gaining on Amazon, which is playing an increasingly important role in the Company's DTC and omnichannel strategy. In Q2 2023, Amazon represented just 12% of Byrna's online sales. That share increased to 27% by the end of Q2 2025 and has reached 34% in Q3 2025 to date.
Byrna's strong e-commerce performance is bolstered by Byrna's ongoing expansion into big-box retailers. At the end of 2024, Byrna's products were available in 289 chain store locations, a 74% increase from 166 locations offering Byrna at the end of 2023. With the recently announced additions to the big-box stores carrying Byrna, the Company expects to be in more than 500 retail chain locations by the end of Q3 2025 (August 31, 2025). Based on projections provided by these retailers, Byrna expects that number to grow to over 800 big-box locations by fiscal year-end 2025 (November 30, 2025), a 177% increase in just twelve months. This growing retail presence is expected to provide a powerful new growth engine in the second half of 2025 and beyond.
"Our strong performance during Prime Day and July 4th, and the growth of our dealer footprint reflects the sustained expansion of our total addressable market," said Byrna CEO Bryan Ganz. "Demand across our direct-to-consumer channels remains strong, complemented by significant sales growth from our continued retail store expansion. We see that many of our customers are first visiting our website to find the nearest Byrna dealer where they can try the Byrna launcher before buying. With a 60% conversion ratio when people test fire the Byrna launcher, versus a 1.0% conversion ratio when people shop online, we expect to see sales in our Brick & Mortar locations grow more rapidly than DTC sales, particularly when it comes to first time customers. Together, our complementary DTC and retail channels are creating meaningful momentum as we enter the back half of the year."
As Byrna advances its omnichannel presence, the Company remains focused on increasing brand visibility in the rapidly growing personal safety market. To support this effort, Byrna plans to further invest in television advertising and broaden its reach through additional partnerships with celebrity influencers.
