**BUILD-A-BEAR WORKSHOP REPORTS FOURTH AND RECORD FISCAL 2025 RESULTS; INCREASES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND**

**ST. LOUIS, MO (March 12, 2026)** – Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. (NYSE: BBW) today announced results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 ended January 31, 2026.

● Total revenues were a fourth-quarter record $154.5 million, compared to $150.4 million, and for the fiscal year, total revenues were also a record $529.8 million, compared to $496.4 million

● Pre-tax income for the fourth quarter was $21.5 million, compared to $27.5 million, with an approximate $6 million tariff and related cost impact, and for the fiscal year, pre-tax income was a record $67.2 million, compared to $67.1 million, with an approximate $11 million tariff and related cost impact

● Fourth-quarter diluted earnings per share totaled $1.26 versus $1.62; fiscal year diluted earnings per share totaled a record $3.99 versus $3.80

● For fiscal 2025, the Company returned $39.0 million to shareholders through share repurchases and quarterly dividends

● The Company increased its quarterly dividend by 4.5% to $0.23 per share

● The Company introduces fiscal 2026 guidance, projecting total revenues to grow in the mid-single-digits and pre-tax income ranging from a mid-single-digit decline to low single-digit growth, inclusive of a full year of tariff and related costs, as well as longer-range investments

"We are pleased to report a year of solid revenue expansion, driven by growth across each of our three operating segments. This momentum, even amid external distractions, was further supported by the successful opening of more than 60 net new units across multiple geographies for the second year in a row," commented Sharon Price John, President and Chief Executive Officer of Build-A-Bear Workshop. "Looking ahead, with a strong plan and key infrastructure in place, given we have now surpassed the half-billion-dollar milestone revenue mark this fiscal year, we are focused on further leveraging our success and the power of our brand to drive more incremental business," concluded Ms. John.

Voin Todorovic, Chief Financial Officer of Build-A-Bear Workshop, added, "The company achieved its fifth consecutive year of record revenue and pre-tax income. These results reflect approximately $11 million in tariffs and related costs that we partially offset through continued operational excellence, strong store contribution margins, and actions to further diversify our business model. This consistent performance, together with solid cash flow generation, has enabled us to return more than $170 million to shareholders through stock repurchases and dividends over the past five years."

**Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results**

(13 weeks ended January 31, 2026, compared to the 13 weeks ended February 1, 2025)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Total revenues were $154.5 million and increased 2.7%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Net retail sales were $139.5 million, consistent with the prior year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Consolidated e-commerce demand (online orders fulfilled from either the Company's warehouses or its stores) decreased 13.6%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Commercial and International franchising segment revenues were a combined $15.1 million and increased 37.5%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Pre-tax income was $21.5 million, or 13.9% of total revenues, compared to $27.5 million, or 18.3% of total revenues, in the prior-year quarter. This reflects approximately $6 million in tariffs and related costs, and over $1.2 million combined in increased medical expenses, and labor costs related to minimum wage increases, which was previously shared as part of a full-year estimate. The 440-basis-point reduction in pre-tax margin reflects a 140-basis-point decrease in gross margin, related to tariffs, partially offset by selective price increases, and a 300-basis-point increase in selling, general and administration ("SG&A") expense, from higher total compensation costs, marketing expenses, and additional inflationary pressures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $1.26, compared with $1.62, reflecting lower pre-tax income and a higher income tax rate, partially offset by a reduction in share count.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") of $25.3 million, decreased by 18.9%, and represented 16.3% of total revenues.

**Fiscal Year 2025 Results** 

(52 weeks ended January 31, 2026, compared to the 52 weeks ended February 1, 2025)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Total revenues were $529.8 million and increased 6.7%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Net retail sales were $486.0 million and increased 5.6%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Consolidated e-commerce demand (online orders fulfilled from either the Company's warehouses or its stores) decreased 5.5%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Commercial and International franchising segment revenues were a combined $43.9 million and increased 21.6%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Pre-tax income was $67.2 million, or 12.7% of total revenues, compared to $67.1 million, or 13.5% of total revenues, in the prior year. This reflects approximately $11 million in tariffs and related costs, and $5 million in increased medical and labor costs, largely offset by revenue growth. The 80-basis-point decline in pre-tax margin reflects a 90-basis-point improvement in total gross margin driven by expansion in Retail gross margin from reduced promotional activity, leverage of fixed costs, and selective price increases, partially offset by the impact of tariffs, and a 170-basis-point increase in SG&A expense, from higher total compensation costs and additional inflationary pressures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Diluted EPS of $3.99, compared with $3.80, reflecting higher pre-tax income, a reduction in share count, and a lower income tax rate.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● EBITDA of $81.4 million, increased by 0.4%, and represented 15.0% of total revenues.

**Store Activity**

For the quarter, the Company had net new unit growth of 11 global experience locations, comprising 10 partner-operated and one franchise location. For the year, the Company had net new unit growth of 64 global experience locations, comprising seven corporately-managed, 40 partner-operated, and 17 franchise locations.

At the end of the fiscal year, Build-A-Bear had 662 locations, reflecting 375 corporately-managed, 178 partner-operated, and 109 franchise locations.

**Balance Sheet**

At fiscal year-end, cash and cash equivalents totaled $26.8 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 3.6%, compared with last year. The Company finished the quarter with no borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

For the fourth quarter and fiscal 2025, capital expenditures totaled $12.7 million and $25.5 million, respectively.

Inventory at fiscal year-end totaled $82.2 million, an increase of $12.4 million, or 17.8%, compared with last year, driven by higher tariffs and inventory levels required to support expected increased sales activity. The Company remains comfortable with the level and composition of its inventory.

**Return of Capital to Shareholders**

For the fourth quarter, the Company utilized $10.1 million in cash to repurchase 172,904 shares of its common stock and paid a quarterly cash dividend of $2.8 million to shareholders. For fiscal 2025, the Company utilized $27.5 million in cash to repurchase 508,945 shares of its common stock and paid $11.5 million in quarterly cash dividends to shareholders.

Since the end of the fourth quarter through March 11, the Company has utilized $6.7 million in cash to repurchase an additional 132,230 shares of its common stock. The Company has $55.0 million remaining under the board-authorized $100.0 million stock repurchase program adopted on September 11, 2024.

**2026 Outlook**

The Company issues the following fiscal 2026 outlook:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Total revenue growth on a mid-single-digit percentage basis

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Pre-tax income to range from a mid-single-digit percentage decline to low-single-digit percentage growth, inclusive of approximately $16 million of tariff and related costs, assuming the current 10% tariff rate is in effect for the balance of the year, as well as approximately $3 million in longer-range investments

In addition, for fiscal 2026, the Company currently expects:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Net new unit growth of at least 50 experience locations through a combination of corporately-managed, partner-operated, and franchised business models

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Commercial revenue growth of at least 20%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Capital expenditures in the range of $22 million to $25 million

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Depreciation and amortization to approximate $16 million

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Tax rate to approximate 24%, excluding discrete items

The Company's outlook considers various factors, including tariffs, labor costs, changes in freight expense, and ongoing inflationary challenges. Separately, the Company's outlook does not contemplate any further material changes in tariffs, the macroeconomic conditions, or relevant foreign currency exchange rates. Finally, the Company's outlook does not take into account the potential impact of the current geopolitical environment arising from events in the Middle East.

**Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

In this press release, the Company's financial results are provided both in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and using certain non-GAAP financial measures. In particular, the Company provides historic income adjusted to exclude certain costs, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These results are included as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP because management believes these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in the Company's business and provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core operating results. These measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. These non-GAAP financial measures are defined and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure later in this document.
