Exhibit 99.1

Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. Exceeds Guidance With Pre-tax Income of $9.2 Million in Fiscal 2020 Fourth Quarter

  • Fourth quarter GAAP pre-tax income of $9.2 million, a 20.8% increase compared to the prior year period
  • Fourth quarter total revenue of $93.7 million, a 10.4% decrease compared to the prior year period
  • Fourth quarter e-commerce demand increases 104% compared to the prior year period
  • At year end, consolidated cash balance was $34.8 million, up $8.1 million from fiscal 2019 year-end, with no borrowings on the Company’s credit facility

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 10, 2021--Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. (NYSE: BBW) today reported results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2020 ended January 30, 2021. The Company noted that the actions that were taken to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic combined with the disciplined execution of its stated strategy, inclusive of the acceleration of its digital transformation initiatives, led to growth in pre-tax income for the fiscal 2020 fourth quarter as compared to the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter.

The Company’s total revenues also exceeded guidance, although still representing a decline compared to the prior year, largely driven by ongoing negative impact of the pandemic on its retail store operations as well as commercial and international franchising revenue. The negative impact in corporately-managed stores included a significant decline in traffic with an 18% reduction in store operating days driven by the forced closure of all of the Company’s locations in Europe for two-thirds of the quarter and a reduction of approximately 25% in operating hours in North America as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

Sharon Price John, Build-A-Bear Workshop President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “During a year with great global disruption, I am proud of our organization’s ability to rapidly respond and make the changes needed to deliver $9.2 million in pre-tax profit in the fourth quarter, an increase of over 20% compared to the prior year and exceeding previously issued guidance, as well as a stronger year-end cash position. Although there were challenges, we were able to accelerate important long-term strategic initiatives including moving forward with our digital transformation and rapidly evolving our retail model and capabilities while simultaneously managing our financial stability and liquidity.

“As we begin fiscal 2021, our operations continue to be negatively impacted by the pandemic with persistent temporary store closures affecting direct-to-consumer as well as commercial and international franchising revenue while e-commerce demand continues to be very strong across geographies fueled by Valentine’s product performance and the initial response to our Easter assortment. As we look forward, we are excited to announce plans to launch a product collection based on the highly popular Nintendo Switch game, Animal Crossing™: New Horizons, later this quarter. Separately, as announced yesterday, through our agreement with Sony Picture Worldwide Acquisitions, we anticipate a fall release of Honey Girls, a live-action film inspired by one of our popular proprietary intellectual properties and product lines. We remain focused on the advancement of our key strategies with the goal to deliver profitable growth as the macro-environment stabilizes,” concluded Ms. John continued.


Fourth Quarter 2020 Highlights (13 weeks ended January 30, 2021 compared to the 13 weeks ended February 1, 2020):

  • Total revenues were $93.7 million compared to $104.6 million in the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter reflecting:
    • Net retail sales of $91.9 million, an 8.7% decline from the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter with an 18% reduction in store operating days driven by temporary store closures, fewer operating hours and capacity limitations;
    • Consolidated e-commerce demand (orders generated online to be fulfilled from either the Company’s warehouse or its stores) rose 104% compared to the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter;
    • Commercial and international franchise revenues were $1.8 million compared to $3.9 million in the 2019 fiscal fourth quarter reflecting pandemic related operating closures; and
    • Total revenues included positive impact of $1.1 million related to the update of the Company’s gift card breakage rate due to lower redemptions versus historical averages.
  • Gross profit margin was 50.1% compared to 50.4% in the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter. These results include negative impact from non-cash asset impairment costs and rent recorded for the Company’s European stores for the full quarter despite the locations being closed for two-thirds of the period. Positive benefits include the impact related to gift card breakage with no associated costs and reduced occupancy expenses due to prior renegotiations of lease terms in the Company’s real estate portfolio;
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $37.8 million, a decrease of $7.4 million compared to the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter primarily due to lower payroll as a result of reduced store operating hours, lower corporate expenses as part of the Company’s cost containment initiatives, the positive impact of currency fluctuations, and a significant reduction of store marketing expense due to pandemic related store closures and capacity limitations. The reduction in SG&A reflects approximately $1.1 million in one-time benefits in the quarter;
  • GAAP pre-tax income was $9.2 million, a $1.6 million improvement compared to the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter, or a $0.4 million increase over the prior period on an adjusted basis (see reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results);
  • Income tax expense was $321,000, reflecting the Company’s valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. This compares to income tax expense of $1.4 million in the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter; and
  • Net income was $8.8 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.2 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter; on an adjusted basis, net income increased $1.4 million to $0.47 per diluted share (see reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results).

Fiscal Year 2020 Highlights (52 weeks ended January 30, 2021 compared to the 52 weeks ended February 1, 2020):

  • Total revenues were $255.3 million compared to $338.5 million in the 2019 fiscal year, reflecting:
    • Net retail sales of $249.2 million, a 23.0% decrease from the 2019 fiscal year with a 33.4% decline in store operating days driven by temporary store closures, reduced operating hours and capacity limitations;
    • E-commerce demand rose 133% compared to 2019 fiscal year; and
    • Commercial and international franchise revenues were $6.1 reflecting pandemic related operating closures.
  • Pre-tax loss was $21.8 million, compared to pre-tax income of $1.6 million in the 2019 fiscal year;
  • Income tax expense was $2.8 million, compared to income tax expense of $1.3 million in the 2019 fiscal year; and
  • Net loss was $24.6 million, or ($1.65) per share, as compared to net income of $0.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share in the 2019 fiscal year.

Store Activity:
As of January 30, 2021, the Company had 354 corporately-managed stores with select locations continuing to be temporarily closed by government mandated restrictions. While the Company’s response to the pandemic included renegotiating over 90% of its corporately-managed store leases in fiscal 2020, it maintains a high level of lease optionality with over 75% of locations having a lease event within the next three years.

Separately, locations associated with the Company’s third-party retail model with relationships that include Carnival Cruise Lines, Great Wolf Lodge Resorts, Landry’s, and Beaches Family Resorts, as well as international franchise locations, were either closed or operated under restrictions for a portion of the 2020 fiscal year.

Balance Sheet:
As of January 31, 2021, total cash totaled $34.8 million, a 30% increase over the prior year-end. The Company ended the fiscal year with no borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

Total inventory at year-end was $46.9 million, down 12.1% from fiscal 2019 year-end. For fiscal 2020, capital expenditures totaled $5.0 million and depreciation and amortization were $13.2 million.

Fiscal Year 2021 Expectations:
For fiscal 2021, the Company currently expects EBITDA to be higher than fiscal 2019 EBITDA of $15.3 million. The Company also expects to achieve EBITDA in the range of $20-$30 million by fiscal 2023. This outlook assumes the reopening of the Company’s European locations by the end of the first quarter and no additional significant closures due to government mandates in fiscal 2021 as well as a more stable economic and retail environment in fiscal 2022 and beyond.

In addition, for fiscal 2021, the Company currently expects capital expenditures to approximate $5 - $10 million and for depreciation and amortization to be in the range of $13 - $14 million.

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 and income per diluted share adjusted to exclude certain costs and accounting adjustments, 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.
