Build-A-Bear reported Q1 FY26 revenue of $125.3 million, a 2.4% decline year-over-year, driven by a 26.1% drop in e-commerce and a 5.1% decline in net retail sales. Pre-tax income rose to $23.9 million from $19.6 million, largely due to a $7 million IEEPA tariff refund; adjusted pre-tax income fell to $16.9 million. Diluted EPS was $1.45 vs $1.17 prior year, with adjusted EPS at $1.03. The company lowered FY26 revenue guidance to $530M-$550M and pre-tax income to $72M-$78M, citing uncertain economic conditions and consumer traffic challenges.
