2026 outlook
- Revenue100% revenue growth for 2026
- NoteBased on currently available information, we are not updating that prior target.
- NoteThe nature of our business can result in material changes to the ultimate timing on recognizing revenue so our final revenue for 2026 may differ materially from our current expectations.
What drove it
- Second-quarter revenue more than doubled year over year and product sales continued to accelerate.
- Gross margin expanded to approximately 75% in the second quarter, compared to approximately 48% in the prior-year period.
- The ATF classified BolaWrap 150 as an instrument of restraint and rescue, and not a firearm or weapon under applicable federal statutes.
- The company identified 11 active programs that can support BolaWrap, body-worn cameras, de-escalation training, and virtual-reality training.
- The company made a strategic investment in Frenel Imaging Ltd. to anchor the detection layer of its new WrapShield platform.
Concerns
- Total operating expenses were $3.8 million, compared to $3.3 million in the prior-year period, with the increase primarily reflecting higher non-cash share-based expense.
- The company reported a net loss of $(2.3) million for the second quarter.
- The prior-year quarter included a $0.9 million non-cash loss from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities that did not recur.
- The company stated that lengthy evaluation and sales cycles and budget and procurement constraints of government and law-enforcement customers are risks.
- Management stated that final revenue for 2026 may differ materially from current expectations because revenue-recognition timing can change materially.
What to watch
- Execution against management's target of 100% revenue growth for 2026, which management did not update.
- Commercial follow-through from the ATF classification and prospective private-sector organizations, following dozens of conversations reported by the company.
- Development, integration, commercialization, and market adoption of WrapShield and the company's counter-UAS initiatives.
- The timing and scale of international orders and agency-wide BolaWrap deployments.
- Continued gross-margin performance, operating losses, and capital resources.
Balance sheet and cash flow
- Cash and cash equivalents were $4.8 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $3.5 million at December 31, 2025.
- Total liabilities were reduced to $2.0 million at June 30, 2026, from $3.9 million at December 31, 2025, reflecting the termination of the Company’s former office lease.
- Net cash used in operating activities improved 27% to $(3.7) million, compared to $(5.0) million in the prior-year period.
Analysis
Wrap reported second-quarter total revenue of $2.1 million, up 103% from $1.0 million in the prior-year period. Gross profit increased 217% to $1.5 million, and gross margin expanded to approximately 75% from approximately 48%. For the first six months, total revenue increased 78% to $3.2 million, while product sales increased to $2.6 million from $0.4 million.
The profitability trend improved alongside the revenue growth. Loss from operations improved 21% to $(2.3) million from $(2.9) million, and net loss improved 39% to $(2.3) million from $(3.7) million. The comparison includes a prior-year $0.9 million non-cash loss from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities that did not recur. Operating expenses rose to $3.8 million from $3.3 million, primarily due to higher non-cash share-based expense.
Liquidity and cash consumption also improved on the figures reported. Cash and cash equivalents were $4.8 million at June 30, 2026, versus $3.5 million at December 31, 2025. Total liabilities were $2.0 million, down from $3.9 million, reflecting termination of the former office lease. First-six-month net cash used in operating activities improved 27% to $(3.7) million from $(5.0) million.
The operating narrative centers on the subsequent ATF classification of BolaWrap 150 as an instrument of restraint and rescue rather than a firearm or weapon, which management says opens private-security applications. Management also cited WrapShield, its strategic investment in Frenel Imaging Ltd., and 11 identified active funding programs as avenues into public safety, homeland security, defense, sensing, border security, and counter-UAS markets.
Management reiterated, rather than updated, its prior target of 100% revenue growth for 2026. It explicitly cautioned that sales cycles and revenue-recognition timing can cause final 2026 revenue to differ materially from current expectations. The principal reported items to monitor are whether the higher product-sales base converts into sustained revenue, whether the gross-margin expansion persists, and whether reduced operating cash use continues while the company funds its platform expansion.
