SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – (August 8, 2011) – Black Diamond, Inc. (NASDAQ: BDE) (the “Company” or “Black Diamond”), a leading provider of outdoor recreation equipment and active lifestyle products, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Net loss totaled $0.8 million or $(0.04) per share;
 
 
§
Adjusted net income before non-cash items totaled $1.3 million or $0.06 per diluted share; and
 
 
§
Adjusted EBITDA totaled $1.1 million.

Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results
 
Total sales in the second quarter of 2011 increased 19% to $28.3 million compared to pro forma sales of $23.7 million in the second quarter of 2010. The pro forma prior year sales include the results of Black Diamond Equipment and Gregory Mountain Products prior to their acquisitions by the Company in May 2010. The growth in sales for the second quarter of 2011 was attributable to the successful launch of a number of new products and the increased sales and marketing efforts of existing products.

Gross margin in the second quarter of 2011 was 38.9%, compared to pro forma gross margin of 39.8% in the prior year quarter. The 0.9% decrease in gross margin was primarily attributed to a higher percentage of international distributor sales, which have lower overall margins.

Net loss in the second quarter of 2011 was $0.8 million or $(0.04) per share, which included $2.1 million of non-cash items. Excluding these items, adjusted net income before non-cash items was $1.3 million or $0.06 per diluted share. See the reconciliation from net income to net income before non-cash items, adjusted net income before non-cash items and related earnings per share table below for a comparison to the year-ago period.

Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, other income, depreciation, amortization and non-cash equity compensation) in the second quarter of 2011 was $1.1 million, which excludes $1.0 million of non-cash equity compensation from EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, other income, depreciation, and amortization). See the reconciliation from net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA table below for a comparison to the year-ago period.

At June 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.7 million, compared to $2.8 million at December 31, 2010. Total long-term debt including the current portion of long-term debt was $31.0 million at June 30, 2011, which included $15.5 million outstanding on the Company’s $35 million line of credit, and a discounted value of $14.5 million on the Company’s 5% subordinated notes, as well as $1.0 million in other debt. The face value of the 5% subordinated notes is $22.6 million.
 
Stockholders’ equity was $166.0 million or $7.61 per share based on 21.8 million shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2011.

Management Commentary
 
“This was a strong second quarter for Black Diamond as we achieved double-digit sales growth over the same year-ago quarter and exceeded the growth rate of an already healthy outdoor equipment industry,” said Peter Metcalf, president and CEO of Black Diamond. “These results were driven by our successful launch of a number of new products, solid sales and marketing execution, and continued investment in our operational platform. In fact, we believe that this quarter’s performance is the result of proactive steps we made two years ago to invest in product development and establish a flexible and dynamic supply chain to meet our current growth needs.”

“The Company did NOT incur any restructuring or merger and integration expenses in the second quarter, as promised, reflecting the completion of the Gregory integration during the first quarter.  Roughly one year into this acquisition we believe that we have achieved the projected cost savings and are now squarely focused on delivering the sales benefits by seeking to bring Gregory on to the Black Diamond platform in Europe.”
 
“We believe in the American experience and our power to innovate and develop outstanding products. As we continue through the second half of 2011, we intend to remain steadfast in our strategy of investing in product design and development to deliver the high quality, performance products demanded by our retail partners and loyal customers. In the prior twelve months, we have added approximately 50 new jobs to support our business and future growth initiatives. Our new vice president of Gregory has positioned the brand to be ready for its next phase of growth and product line expansion. Our new director of apparel is diligently advancing our entry into the technical apparel market and we expect to remain on track for a fall 2013 initial launch. We expect to continue to leverage our global operational platform as we pursue our organic and acquisition strategies designed to build Black Diamond into one of the world’s most respected outdoor recreational equipment and active lifestyle companies.”
 
2011 Outlook Update
 
Black Diamond has increased its fiscal year 2011 guidance and now expects sales to range between $140 - $145 million.

Net Operating Loss (NOL)
 
The Company estimates that it has available net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $225.8 million, after application of the limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”). The Company’s common stock is subject to a Rights Agreement dated February 7, 2008, designed to assist in limiting the number of 5% or more owners and thus reduce the risk of a possible “change of ownership” under Section 382 of the Code. Any such “change of ownership” under these rules would limit or eliminate the ability of the Company to use its existing NOLs for federal income tax purposes. There is no guaranty, however, that the Rights Agreement will achieve the objective of preserving the value of the NOLs.

Statement Regarding the Presentation of Results
 
The Company, formerly named Clarus Corporation, closed its acquisitions of Black Diamond Equipment and Gregory Mountain Products on May 28, 2010.  Black Diamond Equipment is considered the Predecessor Company for financial reporting purposes.  The prior year combined financial results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 represent the results of the Company and the Predecessor but exclude the results of Gregory Mountain Products.  We believe prior year pro forma results, which include the Company, Black Diamond Equipment and Gregory Mountain Products for the full three-month period ending June 30, 2010 are the most useful and instructive comparison, particularly pro forma sales and pro forma gross margin.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
 
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The earnings press release contains the non-GAAP measures, combined and pro forma sales and gross profit, net income before non-cash items and adjusted net income before non-cash items and related earnings per share, and earnings before interest, taxes, other income, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and adjusted EBITDA. The Company also believes that presentation of certain non-GAAP measures, i.e., combined and pro forma sales and gross profit, net income before non-cash items, and EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, provides useful information for the understanding of its ongoing operations and enables investors to focus on period-over-period operating performance, and thereby enhances the user's overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance relative to past performance and provides, to the nearest GAAP measures, a better baseline for modeling future earnings expectations. Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP financial measures in the financial tables within this press release. The Company cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company's reported GAAP results. Additionally, the Company notes that there can be no assurance that the above referenced non-GAAP financial measures are comparable to similarly titled financial measures by other publicly traded companies.
