Action:ReiteratedDate:04/14/26
The score is held back primarily by weak cash-flow conversion (negative TTM operating and free cash flow) and very bearish technicals (price far below all major moving averages with negative MACD). Earnings-call commentary adds caution due to a materially weaker Q2 outlook and declining ecommerce conversion, while profitability improvements and a low-debt balance sheet provide partial support despite a high P/E and no dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Strong revenue growth & high gross margin
Sustained top-line scaling combined with a ~60% gross margin supports durable unit economics across channels. High product margins provide structural cushion to absorb marketing or retail mix shifts, enabling reinvestment in distribution and R&D while preserving profitability as the business scales.
Negative Factors
Negative cash-flow conversion
Reported profits are not converting into cash, reflecting working-capital strain and investment timing. Persistent negative operating and free cash flow increases financing risk, could force capital raises or constrain inventory and marketing plans, and reduces margin of error during execution phases.

The FlyByrna Technologies Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Apr 09, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 14, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Neutral
The call reflects a mix of progress and near-term challenges. Positive operational momentum includes 11% revenue growth, rapid retail and dealer expansion, strong in-store performance for the CL platform, and an effective new site tool that converts at ~2x the site average. However, the company faces meaningful short-term headwinds: ecommerce conversion and AOV have declined, profitability measures (net income and adjusted EBITDA) fell YoY, cash balances decreased ~38%, inventory remains elevated at ~$33M, and management expects Q2 to be down materially YoY. Management outlined clear remediation plans (marketing message pivot, merchandising, manufacturing efficiencies, inventory reduction) and is focused on profitable growth, but near-term results are expected to be variable while execution improves.Positive Updates
Revenue Growth
Net revenue for Q1 FY2026 was $29.0M, an 11% increase from $26.2M in Q1 FY2025, driven by expansion across dealer and chain-store channels.
Negative Updates
Ecommerce Conversion Decline
Byrna.com conversion fell materially in Q1: average daily sessions in Jan/Feb/Mar were ~37k/40k/34.5k while conversion dropped to ~0.68%/0.64%/0.54% (vs. ~0.94% in Apr 2025 and ~1.17% in May 2025), and average order value has come under pressure.

Company Guidance
Management said Q2 is developing “materially below” expectations and will be meaningfully down year‑over‑year (noting last year’s Q2 included ~$2.7M of CL launch load‑ins versus expected Q2 retail load‑ins >$300k), so the company will stop pre‑announcing early revenue; Q1 results were net revenue $29.0M (+11% vs $26.2M), gross profit $17.4M (60% margin), operating expenses $16.5M, net income $0.8M, adjusted EBITDA $2.2M, cash and equivalents $9.6M, and inventory $33.1M. Digital metrics showed average daily sessions of ~37k/40k/34.5k in Jan/Feb/Mar with conversion ~0.68%/0.64%/0.54% (vs ~0.94% in Apr‑25 and ~1.17% in May‑25); the new “Find the Right Launcher” quiz has >30k completions and converts at ~2× site average. Retail traction included company store sales +16% YoY in March with conversion up from the low‑60s to high‑60s, combined CL/CLXL ≈80% of launcher sales in company stores in March and CL ≈40% of unit sales for the quarter; premier dealers +60% YoY and top‑20 dealers +55% YoY. The company entered 2026 with ~900 chain stores / ~1.5k total stores, is targeting ~2k total locations by year‑end (initial Academy rollout ~50 stores in Q2 with a 200–250 store target, Murdoch’s 14 stores in Q2 targeting ~30 by year‑end), expects H2 gross‑margin expansion (mix, modest price increases, manufacturing efficiencies), a next‑gen modular platform in 2027, and free cash flow “in the mid‑teens” while prioritizing inventory reduction and profitable growth.Byrna Technologies Financial Statement Overview
