Frequently asked questions
What is Build-A-Bear Workshop Inc's revenue?
Build-A-Bear Workshop Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $526.71M. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is BBW?
In its most recent fiscal year, BBW ran a gross margin of 55.80%, an operating margin of 12.20%, and a net margin of 9.85%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does BBW generate?
BBW produced $39.51M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is BBW's balance sheet healthy?
BBW holds $26.75M in cash and equivalents against — in long-term debt, on $155.03M of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
