<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">On February 14, 2013, the Registrant issued
a press release announcing preliminary results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012 (the &ldquo;Press Release&rdquo;).
A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Press Release contains the non-GAAP
measure: adjusted gross margin. The Registrant believes that presentation of certain non-GAAP measures, i.e.: adjusted gross
margin, provide 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 Registrant's current financial performance
relative to past performance and provides, to the nearest GAAP measures, a better baseline for modeling future earnings expectations.
The Registrant defines adjusted gross margin to mean gross margin plus the impacts related to the sale of inventory that was recorded
at fair value in purchase accounting. The Registrant cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not
as a substitute for, the Registrant's reported GAAP results. Additionally, the Registrant notes that there can be no assurance
that the above referenced non-GAAP financial measure is comparable to similarly titled financial measures used by other publicly
traded companies.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>SALT LAKE CITY, Utah &ndash; (February 14, 2013)</B> <B>&ndash; </B>Black
Diamond, Inc. (NASDAQ: BDE) (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo; or &ldquo;Black Diamond&rdquo;), a global leading supplier
of innovative, high performance, outdoor and action sport equipment as well as aspirational active outdoor lifestyle
products, reported preliminary results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012. The Company has also
provided its outlook for 2013.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Based on preliminary unaudited information, Black Diamond
expects to report fourth quarter 2012 total sales of approximately  $48.4 million, up approximately 33% from $36.3 million in
the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily attributed to the contribution of POC Sweden AB (&ldquo;POC&rdquo;) and
PIEPS Holding GmbH (&ldquo;PIEPS&rdquo;) and their respective subsidiaries, which were acquired in the second half of 2012.
Total sales were offset by $0.4 million of inventory repurchased and not recognized as revenue from Gregory Mountain
Products&rsquo; Japanese distributor, Kabushiki Kaisha A&amp;F (&ldquo;A&amp;F&rdquo;), as part of the A&amp;F
distribution agreement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">For the year ended December 31, 2012, Black
Diamond expects to report total sales of approximately  $175.5 million, up approximately 20% from $145.8 million in 2011. The
growth in sales was supported by the introduction of new and innovative products, as well as the addition of POC and PIEPS.
Total sales were offset by $1.0 million of inventory repurchased as part of the previously mentioned A&amp;F distribution
agreement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2012 is expected to
be around 36.0% compared to 39.2% in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2012 includes approximately
$1.2 million (or 2.5% of expected total sales) for inventory fair value of purchase accounting adjustments related to the
acquisitions of POC and PIEPS. In connection with the Company&rsquo;s conference call announcing actual results for the
fourth quarter and full year 2012, the Company expects to present a reconciliation table of adjusted gross margin excluding
these purchase accounting adjustments from its  fourth quarter of 2012 financial results, and anticipates adjusted gross
margin to experience a small decline from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to a higher level of discount activity in
response to a challenging start to the 2012 winter season.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Gross margin for the full year of 2012 is expected to be around
38.0% compared to 38.7% in 2011. Gross margin in 2012 includes approximately $2.3 million (or 1.3% of expected total sales) for
the previously mentioned purchase accounting adjustments. In connection with the Company&rsquo;s conference call announcing actual results for the fourth quarter
and full year 2012, the Company expects to present a reconciliation table of adjusted gross
margin excluding these purchase accounting adjustments from its full year 2012 financial results, and anticipates adjusted gross
margin will reflect an improvement from 2011 primarily attributed to the shift in mix toward higher margin products as well as
the inclusion of both POC and PIEPS.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&ldquo;2012 was a milestone year for Black Diamond as we initiated
our acquisition strategy, successfully introduced our new apparel line to the trade and assumed greater control over our manufacturing
and distribution,&rdquo; said Peter Metcalf, president and CEO of Black Diamond. &ldquo;While we achieved record sales, they were
affected by the mild winter weather in North America during the holiday shopping season, adding to existing economic uncertainties
in both the U.S. and Europe that made for a more cautious consumer.</P>

share in a majority of our product categories, which reflects the proactive investments we&rsquo;ve been making in our infrastructure

the consumer has returned to purchase more of our seasonal products. Meanwhile, our early spring 2013 bookings have been strong.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&ldquo;In 2013,&rdquo; concluded Metcalf, &ldquo;we will continue
to invest in our strategic growth initiatives. This includes the next two seasonal launches of our apparel line and further development
of our new ski manufacturing facility. These initiatives, among others, are designed to support substantially greater revenue, which we believe will increase our operating leverage and accelerate
earnings in the coming years. As one of the most respected and leading

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company reports its financial results in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (&ldquo;GAAP&rdquo;). This press release contains the non-GAAP measure: adjusted
gross margin. The Company believes that presentation of certain non-GAAP measures, i.e.: adjusted gross margin, provide 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. The Company defines adjusted
gross margin to mean gross margin plus the impacts related to the sale of inventory that was recorded at fair value in purchase
accounting. 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
measure is comparable to similarly titled financial measures used by other publicly traded companies.</P>
