Greetings, and welcome to the Build-A-Bear Workshop’s Fourth Quarter 2022 Earnings Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A question-and-answer session will follow the formal presentation. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded.
It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Allison Malkin of ICR. Thank you. You may begin.
Allison Malkin
Good morning. Thank you for joining us. With me today are Sharon Price John, CEO; and Voin Todorovic, CFO. For today's call, Sharon will begin with the discussion of our first quarter fiscal 2022 performance and update the progress we have made on our key priorities. After Voin will review the financials in more detail and introduce our guidance, we will then open the call to take your questions. We ask that you limit your questions to one question and one follow-up. This way we can get to everyone's questions during this one hour call. Feel free to re-queue if you have further questions.
Members of the media, who may be on our call today should contact us after this conference call with your questions. Please note, the call is being recorded and broadcast live via the Internet. The earnings release is available on the Investor Relations portion of our corporate website. A replay of both our call and webcast will be available later today on the IR site.
I will remind everyone that forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors, including those set forth in the Risk Factors section in the company's annual report on Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to revise any forward-looking statements.
And now, I would like to turn the call over to Sharon.
Sharon Price John
Thank you, Allison. Good morning. And thanks for joining us on our fiscal 2022 earnings call following the completion of our fourth quarter.
Fiscal 2022 was successful on multiple fronts and we finished the year on a high note with the key fourth quarter performance, achieving growth in revenue and an increase in pre-tax income of over 30% versus the prior year.
