Fourth Quarter 2021 Results Overview
Revenues for the quarter increased slightly (1.2%) to $11.2 million in Q4 FY21 from $11.0 million in Q4 FY20. Orders received during the quarter increased substantially, however, up 57.4% to $12.0 million in Q4 FY21 from $7.6 million in Q4FY20 as Q4 FY2020 sales included the fulfillment of $3.4 million of backorders received in prior quarters.
Gross profit rose to $5.7 million, or 51.1% of reported net revenue, in Q4 FY21 as compared to gross profit of $4.9 million, or 44.4% of net revenue, in Q4 FY20. The improvement in gross margin was helped by improved operating efficiencies at the factories and the introduction of new higher margin products partially offset by higher inbound freight costs.
Operating expenses rose to $8.8 million in Q4 FY21 from $6.2 million in Q4 FY20 and $6.7 million in Q3 FY21. The increase from Q3 FY21 was due to more than $1.02 million in additional advertising spend as Byrna looks to build brand awareness as well as $1.3 million in severance costs ($0.70 million non-cash) incurred during Q4 FY21 as the Company cut ongoing payroll costs through the elimination of several high paid positions. In addition, the Company incurred $0.25 million in additional variable costs (including credit card processing fees, online sales platform fees and outbound shipping costs) due to higher sales volume.
Net loss in Q4 FY21 was $(3.2) million, or $(0.14) per share, compared to a net loss of $(1.6) million, or $(0.11) per share, in Q4 FY20, due primarily to the higher operating expenses outlined above.
Excluding long-term stock-based compensation and one-time severance costs, non-GAAP adjusted net loss1 for Q4 FY21 was $(1.5) million or $(0.06) per share compared to non-GAAP adjusted net loss2 of $(1.1) million or $(0.06) per share in Q4 FY20.
FY 2021 Full Year Results Overview
Revenues increased 154.5% to $42.2 million in FY 2021 from $16.6 million in FY2020 driven largely by Byrna’s continued advertising and marketing efforts designed to introduce the Byrna brand to a larger audience.
Gross profit rose to $22.9 million, or 54.3% of reported net revenue, (in line with the 53% to 55% guidance) in FY 2021 as compared to gross profit of $7.5 million, or 45.3% of net revenue, in FY 2020. The improvement was due to improved operating efficiencies in both factories as well as higher production volumes in Ft. Wayne which allowed Byrna to amortize factory overhead across a larger number of units. Additionally, margins were helped by the introduction of new higher margin products. At the same time, increased freight costs caused by the global supply chain crisis had a negative impact on margins, particularly in Q4 FY21.
Operating expenses rose to $26.2 million in FY 2021 from $11.8 million in FY 2020 reflecting the general growth of the company and its operations particularly in the area of people costs as the average number of employees approximately doubled from 2020 to 2021.

Net loss in FY 2021 was $(3.3) million, compared to a net loss of $(12.6) million in FY 2020. The net loss in FY 2020 included a non-operating loss of $(6.0) million resulting from the extinguishment of debt. Excluding non-cash stock-based compensation, non-GAAP adjusted net loss3 for FY 2021 was $(0.0) million, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $(3.6) million in FY 2020.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, excluding long-term non-cash stock-based compensation and one-time severance costs, showed a profit of $1.3 million versus a loss of $(2.8) million in FY 2020.

Bryan Ganz, CEO of Byrna, commented “It has been an amazing journey. Just two years ago, Byrna had less than $1.0 million in sales, only 96,000 people had visited our website and we had filled just 968 orders. We had no factory, no advertising budget and just ten employees. Two years later we have seen our sales increase by more than 4,500%. More than 8.6 million people have visited our website and we have filled more than 138,000 orders.
“At the same time, we established two manufacturing facilities on two different continents, bringing the production of both launchers and ammunition in house and we have put into place the people, infrastructure and balance sheet necessary to take Byrna to the next level – and we did all of this in the middle of a pandemic and global supply chain crisis!
“It has not been without its growing pains and there is still much work to do as we strive to improve procedures, enhance quality control processes and expand operations globally, however, on balance, I am extremely proud of what the team at Byrna has been able to accomplish in just a few short years and I look forward to working with this amazing group of people as we pursue our mission of building Byrna into a global brand by saving lives and giving folks the ability to “Live Safe.””
FY 2022 Outlook
Byrna believes that revenues for the first quarter of FY 2022 ("Q1 FY22") ending February 28, 2022, will range between $8.4 and $9.2 million (down from prior guidance of $11.0 to $11.5 million). The reason for the wide range is that Byrna has $1.0 million of orders that we are not sure if we can ship prior to the end of the quarter. For FY 2022 ending November 30, 2022, Byrna is lowering its revenue guidance from $60 - $65 million to $55 - $60 million. The reduction in our Q1 projection and our full year guidance is due to the uncertainties stemming from the global supply chain crisis. This new range reflects year-over-year growth of approximately 36% at the mid-point of the range.
3 See non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this press release for a reconciliation and a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures.
This projected growth is based on the Company's continued increase in brand awareness as evidenced by the increasing number of first time web visitors to Byrna.com coupled with the increasing number of brick and mortar retailers that are carrying the Byrna line of products, tempered somewhat by the current supply chain issues which, during Q1 FY22, has resulted in shortages of the raw materials and components necessary to produce both Byrna’s flagship SD launcher line and the shoulder fired launchers acquired in the Mission acquisition (TCR, Mission-4 and MLR). In addition to production shortfalls that have plagued many of our vendors, we have also been negatively impacted by extended shipping times (despite shipping everything by airfreight this quarter). The combined impact of production shortfalls and extended shipping times has forced several unplanned shutdowns at both Byrna factories during Q1 FY22.
So far in 2021, the Byrna production facility in Ft. Wayne Indiana only was able to produce launchers 23 days (as of February 9th) due to out-of-stock components. As a result, launcher production for Q1 FY22 to date has been just 12,265 units. These unplanned shutdowns resulted in the Byrna SD being out of stock throughout the quarter resulting in empty shelves at our dealers and out-of-stock notifications on our website. Due to the persistent and continuing supply chain issues, Byrna will not be able to build sufficient product to exceed the revised Q1 guidance of $9.2 million.
On a positive note, Byrna expects to have enough raw material and components on hand by the end of this quarter to produce 30,000 units in Q2. This improvement in our inventory situation is the result of (1) a realignment of suppliers including moving production of several critical components to U.S. vendors; and (2) moving beyond the impact of the Christmas holiday and Chinese New Year shutdown periods.
Over the longer term, Byrna is continuing to pursue its “all truck strategy” in which Byrna expects to be able to supply to the Ft. Wayne factory 100% of the components necessary to produce the Byrna SD from US suppliers before the end of this fiscal year. We also expect to have redundant supply of 100% of the components by year-end.
Despite our belief that we will be able to meet our production goals in the coming quarters and despite our efforts to bring on US suppliers for 100% of the inputs, there can be no assurance that the current supply chain issues, which have severely impacted the Company during Q1 FY22, will not continue to negatively impact the Company for several months or quarters to come.
In addition to adversely impacting production, supply chain issues negatively impacted Byrna’s new product development pipeline as suppliers were unable or unwilling to devote machine time to the production of the prototype parts that are necessary in the development of any new product. Turnaround times on prototype parts increased from roughly one week to, in many cases, more than four weeks. As a result, Byrna has not yet been able to release several critical new products including the 7-round magazine, the Byrna SD Pro and Byrna TCR. These delays have had a negative impact on Q1 FY22 sales. We believe that these products will all be in production by the end of the first quarter or very early in the second quarter.
The two new products that we expect to have the greatest impact on sales in FY 2022 are the 12-gauge less-lethal finned projectile and the Byrna LE (Law Enforcement). The 12-gauge round will allow Byrna’s patented and highly effective fin-tailed round projectile to be fired from any 12-gauge shotgun without having to spend more than $1,000 to purchase a dedicated launcher. This will allow the owners of the approximately 100 million shotguns (in the United States alone) to use their existing weapons system to disarm a threat at safe standoff distances without employing lethal force. The shotgun is the most common weapon used for home defense in the U.S. Allowing it to be used in a less-lethal manner could be a game changer when it comes to the widespread acceptance of less-lethal force.
If all goes as planned, Byrna intends to go into production of its less-lethal 12-gauge round in Q3 of 2022, initially producing 100,000 rounds a month. Byrna expects these to retail for approximately $7.00 per round.
The Byrna LE, which is specifically designed for law enforcement requirements, will have greater stopping power than the current Byrna SD range of products. This product, which we also expect to release to the market in Q3 of 2022 will be offered to both law enforcement and civilians. We expect that many owners of the Byrna HD and Byrna SD launchers will upgrade to the faster, more accurate and far more powerful Byrna LE. The Byrna LE will be produced exclusively in the U.S.

Non-GAAP Financial Metrics
In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we provide the following additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP): adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP net loss per share. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help us to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of certain expenses that we exclude in the calculations of the non-GAAP financial measures.
Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business and provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects.
These non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations in the use of non-GAAP measures, because they do not include all the expenses that must be included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment concerning exclusions of items from the comparable non-GAAP financial measure. In addition, other companies may use other non-GAAP measures to evaluate their performance, or may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as comprehensive (loss) income as reported in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income excluding the impact of (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) income tax provision (benefit); (iii) interest (income) expense; (iv) stock-based compensation expense; (v) severance expense; (vi) accretion of debt discounts; (vii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (viii) warrant inducement expense; (ix) other income (forgiveness of PPP loan); and (x) other financing costs. Our Adjusted EBITDA measure eliminates potential differences in performance caused by variations in capital structures (affecting finance costs), tax positions, the cost and age of tangible assets (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the extent to which intangible assets are identifiable (affecting relative amortization expense). The adjustment for other income (forgiveness of PPP loan) was not included in our Adjusted EBITDA metric for the year ended November 30, 2020 because it was not applicable to such period. We also exclude certain one-time and non-cash costs. Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to comprehensive (loss) income the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is as follows (in thousands):

Non-GAAP comprehensive (loss) income is defined as comprehensive (loss) income as reported in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income excluding the impact of (i) stock-based compensation expense; (ii) severance expense (iii) accretion of debt discounts; (iv) loss on extinguishment of debt; (v) warrant inducement expense; (vi) other income (forgiveness of PPP loan); and (vii) other financing costs. Our non-GAAP net income (loss) measure eliminates potential differences in performance caused by certain non-cash and one-time costs. We also provide non-GAAP net income (loss) per share by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) by the average basic or diluted shares outstanding for the period. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP comprehensive (loss) income to comprehensive (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is as follows (in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as comprehensive (loss) income as reported in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income excluding the impact of (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) income tax provision (benefit); (iii) interest (income) expense; (iv) stock-based compensation expense; (v) severance expense; (vi) accretion of debt discounts; (vii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (viii) warrant inducement expense; (ix) other income (forgiveness of PPP loan); and (x) other financing costs. Our Adjusted EBITDA measure eliminates potential differences in performance caused by variations in capital structures (affecting finance costs), tax positions, the cost and age of tangible assets (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the extent to which intangible assets are identifiable (affecting relative amortization expense). The adjustment for other income (forgiveness of PPP loan) was not included in our Adjusted EBITDA metric for the year ended November 30, 2020 because it was not applicable to such period. We also exclude certain one-time and non-cash costs. Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to comprehensive (loss) income the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is as follows (in thousands):
