BBW•Build-A-Bear Workshop posted fiscal Q1 revenue of $125.3 million and net income of $18.3 million (adjusted EPS $1.03), topping the consensus 76-cent estimate but missing the $130.1 million sales forecast. Management trimmed its full-year revenue outlook to $530–550 million after weaker store and online traffic offset commercial segment growth.
