WRAP Opens Q3 with $1.2 Million in International Orders, Reaffirms 100% Revenue Growth Target for 2026 Following Landmark Federal Declassification Ruling
Orders across Brazil and India, expanding international adoption, growing repeat customer demand and favorable regulatory tailwinds reinforce WRAP's transition toward broader commercial scale
MIAMI, July 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wrap Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: WRAP) (“WRAP” or the “Company”), a global public safety technology company delivering intelligent detection, orchestration and response solutions designed for the next generation of autonomous public safety, today announced that it has entered the third quarter of 2026 with momentum, driven by international orders from customers in Brazil and India, which management believes provides an early commercial foundation for the quarter and reflects growing worldwide demand for the Company’s non-lethal public safety technologies.
The orders reflect continued expansion across the Company’s international markets and represent commercial activity already secured as WRAP entered the quarter — independent of the increased inbound interest the Company has experienced following the recent landmark Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”) ruling classifying the BolaWrap® 150 as an instrument of restraint rather than a firearm or an “any other weapon.”
Management believes the convergence of expanding international adoption, repeat customer demand, and a more favorable regulatory environment positions WRAP for what could be one of the Company’s most significant quarters to date.
Momentum from International Orders to Open Q3
WRAP received international orders totaling approximately $1.2 million to open the third quarter. In Brazil, distributors placed orders on behalf of two public safety agencies, and a distributor in India placed an additional order. These orders were booked as WRAP entered the third quarter, with the associated revenue expected to be recognized in the period.
These bookings underscore continued international adoption of the BolaWrap 150. Management believes repeat purchasing activity across the Company’s international base is particularly meaningful, as it reflects customers moving beyond initial evaluations to expand deployments following operational experience with the product.
Landmark ATF Ruling Removes a Longstanding Regulatory Barrier
On June 15, 2026, the ATF issued Ruling 2026-2, formally classifying the BolaWrap 150 as an instrument of restraint rather than a firearm or an “any other weapon” (AOW). The ruling supersedes prior ATF classifications and, in management’s view, removes a longstanding federal classification that previously complicated procurement, distribution, and adoption in certain markets.
Management believes the decision may simplify procurement, policy adoption, and deployment while further differentiating BolaWrap from traditional pain-compliance and higher-force alternatives. In the days following the ruling, WRAP has experienced increased interest from both domestic and international customers and believes the decision could represent an important catalyst for future adoption.
The Company further believes the ruling provides meaningful federal recognition of BolaWrap’s role as an instrument of restraint while reinforcing WRAP’s broader mission to equip officers with a non-lethal option designed to create time, distance, and tactical advantage before encounters escalate to higher levels of force.
International Commercial Momentum
WRAP continues to expand commercial activity internationally through new customer acquisitions, repeat orders, product evaluations, and a growing distribution network.
Brazil has emerged as one of WRAP’s fastest-growing international markets, with recent follow-on orders supporting broader deployment across multiple public safety agencies and additional evaluations that management believes may advance toward procurement.
In India, a distributor order booked to open the third quarter establishes a commercial foothold in one of the world’s largest public safety markets and may create additional opportunities across South Asia.
More broadly, WRAP continues to build its international channel through experienced regional partners that provide localized sales, training, deployment, and long-term customer support.
2026 Growth Outlook
WRAP reaffirms its previously stated target of approximately 100% year-over-year revenue growth in 2026, reflecting management’s current expectations regarding international adoption, repeat customer activity, improving regulatory conditions, and a growing commercial pipeline.
“We are entering the third quarter with meaningful commercial momentum already in place,” said Scot Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of WRAP. “Opening the quarter with significant international orders is encouraging on its own, but what matters more is what those orders represent — repeat customers expanding their deployments and new markets adopting our technology, independent of the additional interest generated by the ATF’s decision.”
“For years, BolaWrap operated under a federal classification that did not reflect what the product actually is. The ATF’s recognition of BolaWrap as an instrument of restraint removes a real barrier and aligns federal policy with how agencies use our technology every day. Combined with expanding global demand, we believe this may position WRAP for a strong second half of 2026, and reinforces our conviction that WRAP is building a differentiated public safety technology platform positioned for long-term growth.”
