BYRN · CIK 0001354866
What Byrna Technologies, Inc. told the SEC could break it.
Byrna's disclosures center on supply-chain dependence for its personal-security devices. Its kits hinge on projectile and ammunition availability, some of it from sole-source suppliers (projectiles were historically sole-sourced from South Africa), so an interruption could delay shipments — a dependency it has begun reducing by internalizing U.S. projectile manufacturing. It also imports some product components from China and other countries, leaving it exposed to U.S. tariffs that could force price increases or margin-sharing. On the demand side, credit exposure is concentrated, with two customers accounting for about 47% of accounts receivable as it leans further into wholesale and retail channels.

Regulatory & policy
- tariffs on Chinese-imported componentsmedium
Byrna imports some product components from China and other countries; U.S. tariffs on those imports may force price increases or margin sharing and disrupt its supply chain and expanding international sales.
“These tariffs currently affect some of the components of our products we import from China and other countries, and we may be required to raise our prices on those products due to the tariffs or share the cost of such tariffs with our customers, which could harm our operating performance.”
Sole-source dependency
- sole-source projectiles/ammunition componentsmedium
Byrna's kits depend on projectile/ammunition availability, some of which comes from sole-source suppliers (projectiles were historically sole-sourced from South Africa); unavailability would delay kit shipments. The company has begun internalizing U.S. projectile manufacturing to reduce this dependency.
“Sale of our personal security devices and kits depends on the continued availability of our ammunition, some of which is dependent on sole source suppliers. Our introductory product is purchased most often as a “kit” including the Byrna SD and CL launchers and samples of our various projectiles. Unavailability of projectiles could delay shipment of kits and materially and adversely affect our operations.”
