• Strong Revenue Growth

  Net revenue increased by 37.7% to $118.1 million for fiscal year 2025, driven by higher wholesale dealer and distributor sales (up 108.4%) and continued growth in direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales (up 16.3%).

• Improved Operating Profit

  Profit from operations increased by $5.1 million, or 77.5%, to $11.8 million in fiscal year 2025, reflecting strong sales growth despite increased operating expenses.

• New $20 Million Credit Facility Secured

  Subsequent to the fiscal year-end, on February 3, 2026, the company entered into a $20 million senior secured credit facility with Texas Capital Bank, consisting of a $5 million revolving credit facility and a $15 million delayed draw term loan facility, collateralized by substantially all company assets.

• Shift to Cash Usage in Operations

  Cash used in operating activities was $1.6 million for fiscal year 2025, a notable shift from $11.7 million provided in the prior year, primarily due to planned inventory investments and an $8.0 million increase in accounts receivable.

The annual 10-K filing reveals Byrna Technologies Inc. achieved substantial revenue growth of 37.7% to $118.1 million and a 77.5% increase in operating profit to $11.8 million for fiscal year 2025. This growth was driven by expanded distribution channels, new product launches, and enhanced marketing strategies. A key development is the new $20 million senior secured credit facility, which significantly bolsters the company's liquidity and provides capital for future Permitted Acquisitions, addressing the shift to cash usage in operating activities ($1.6 million used in 2025, primarily due to planned inventory investments and increased accounts receivable). While net income decreased due to a change in tax provision, the underlying operational performance improved. Investors should note the upcoming leadership transitions, including the COO's departure and the CEO's expiring employment agreement, which introduce some uncertainty. Additionally, the adoption of 10b5-1 trading plans by the CFO and an entity associated with the CEO for selling shares represents a notable insider disposition, though pre-planned. The new credit facility is a strong positive, providing financial flexibility for continued growth.
