**BUILD-A-BEAR WORKSHOP REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2026 RESULTS**

**ST. LOUIS, MO (May 28, 2026)** – Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. (NYSE: BBW) today announced results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 ended May 2, 2026.

● First-quarter total revenues were $125.3 million, compared to $128.4 million

● First-quarter pre-tax income was $23.9 million, compared to $19.6 million; adjusted pre-tax income was $16.9 million <sup>1</sup>

● First-quarter diluted earnings per share ("EPS") totaled $1.45, compared to $1.17; adjusted EPS totaled $1.03<sup>1</sup>

● For the first quarter of 2026, the Company returned $14.2 million to shareholders through share repurchases and quarterly dividends

● The Company updates its fiscal 2026 revenue and pre-tax income outlook, incorporating revised sales expectations and tariff refund

"Although there were positive highlights for the period, given a more uncertain economic environment, with consumer traffic posing a challenge, our results were lower-than-expected for the quarter. While we are taking steps to address this, our focus remains on executing the strategic initiatives designed to leverage the power of the Build-A-Bear brand as we transition to Chris Hurt's leadership," commented Sharon Price John, President and Chief Executive Officer of Build-A-Bear Workshop.

Chris Hurt, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Executive Officer-elect of Build-A-Bear Workshop, added, "Looking to the balance of the year, we remain focused on continuing to drive long-term growth by increasing the number of experience locations across the globe, including the back-half grand opening of our new multi-level store in Orlando, and expanding our wholesale business. Even with that, when reflecting on our less-than-expected first quarter direct-to-consumer performance and the overall economic environment, we have chosen to lower our annual revenue guidance, while, notably, still maintaining a range above last year's record result. Separately, given the tariff refund, we have simultaneously increased our pre-tax outlook."

Voin Todorovic, Chief Financial Officer of Build-A-Bear Workshop, concluded, "Supported by the continued strong profitability and diversification of our business, solid cash flow generation and disciplined capital allocation enabled us to return $46 million to shareholders over the past 12 months through share repurchases and quarterly dividends, including over $14 million in the first quarter."

**First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results**

(13 weeks ended May 2, 2026, compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Total revenues were $125.3 million and decreased 2.4%

● Net retail sales were $113.5 million and decreased 5.1%

● Consolidated e-commerce demand (online orders fulfilled from either the Company's warehouses or its stores) decreased 26.1%

● Commercial and international franchise revenues were a combined $11.8 million and increased 34.1%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Pre-tax income was $23.9 million, or 19.0% of total revenues, compared to $19.6 million, or 15.3% of total revenues, in the prior-year quarter. The 370-basis point increase in pre-tax margin reflects a 700-basis-point increase in gross margin, including a 560 basis-point benefit from the $7 million International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") tariff refund related to prior fiscal year costs, with the remaining 140-basis-points primarily driven by selective price increases, and deleverage from higher occupancy costs. These gains were partially offset by a 310-basis-point increase in selling, general, and administrative expense ("SG&A"), mainly from higher total compensation costs, general inflationary pressures, and longer-range investments, as well as lower interest income. Excluding the $7 million tariff refund related to prior fiscal year costs, adjusted pre-tax income was $16.9 million,<sup>1</sup> or 13.5% of revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Diluted EPS of $1.45, compared with $1.17, reflecting higher pre-tax income and a lower share count, partially offset by a higher income tax rate. Excluding the $7 million impact from the tariff refund related to prior fiscal year costs, adjusted EPS totaled $1.03.<sup>1</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") was $27.8 million, increased by 20.2%, and represented 22.2% of total revenues. Excluding the $7 million impact from the tariff refund related to prior fiscal year costs, adjusted EBITDA was $20.8 million, representing 16.6% of total revenues.<sup>1</sup>

**Store Activity**

For the quarter, the Company delivered net new unit growth of seven global experience locations, comprised of one corporately-managed location, three partner-operated locations, and three franchise locations. At the end of the quarter, Build-A-Bear had 669 global locations, comprised of 376 corporately-managed locations, 181 partner-operated locations, and 112 franchise locations.

**Balance Sheet**

At the end of the first quarter, cash and cash equivalents totaled $26.2 million, a decrease of $18.1 million, or 40.9%, compared to $44.3 million at the end of the first quarter last year. The Company finished the quarter with no borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

------

Inventory at quarter end was $77.8 million, an increase of $5.6 million, or 7.7%, mainly driven by tariffs, as well as inventory levels required to support expected increases in sales activity. The Company remains comfortable with the level and composition of its inventory.

For the first quarter, capital expenditures totaled $6.9 million, compared to $2.9 million last year.

**Return of Capital to Shareholders**

For the first quarter, the Company utilized $11.4 million in cash to repurchase 248,118 shares of common stock and paid shareholders a $2.9 million quarterly cash dividend.

Since the end of the first quarter through May 27, the Company has utilized $3.3 million in cash to repurchase an additional 89,966 shares of its common stock. The Company has $47.0 million remaining under the board-authorized $100.0 million stock repurchase program adopted on September 11, 2024.

**2026 Outlook**

The Company updates its 2026 outlook, decreasing revenue and revising pre-tax income guidance.

Specifically, for fiscal 2026 the Company now expects:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Total revenue of $530 million to $550 million

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Pre-tax income of $72 million to $78 million

This updated pre-tax income outlook reflects an approximately $13 million IEEPA tariff refund, partially offset by lower-than-expected operating performance. Excluding the approximately $7 million impact from the tariff refund related to prior fiscal year costs, for fiscal 2026 the Company expects adjusted pre-tax income of $65 million to $71 million.<sup>1</sup>

Our outlook also reflects approximately $10 million of ongoing Section 122 tariffs and related costs, assuming the current 10% tariff rate remains 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 continues to expect:

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

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

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Income 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 the geopolitical environment, macroeconomic conditions, relevant foreign currency exchange rates, or tariffs, including the timing and amount of tariff refund recoveries.

------

**Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

In this press release, the Company's financial results are provided 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.
