This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

Build-A-Bear’s dominant mechanic is steady gross-margin expansion offset by rising overhead, with cash generation swinging around reinvestment.
From FY2021 to FY2025, gross margin expanded from53.0% to55.8% , indicating stronger product-level economics. Yet FY2025 net margin was only9.9% , showing that overhead absorption captured much of the gross-profit improvement rather than allowing it to flow through to earnings.
FY2025 operating cash flow reached
The balance sheet became less debt-dependent over the period: debt-to-equity fell from 1.8x in FY2021 to 1.2x in FY2025. Current ratio remained above 1.5x, while shares outstanding fell to 12.6M, so capital returns changed per-share economics even as total equity increased.
