<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U><B>Non-GAAP
Financial Measure</B></U></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">
To supplement Blue Nile&#146;s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Blue Nile uses non-GAAP free cash flow as a measure of
certain components of financial performance. Blue Nile defines non-GAAP free cash flow as net cash
provided by (used in) operating activities less cash outflows for purchases of fixed assets,
including internal use software and website development. Blue Nile&#146;s management does not itself,
nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation
from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Blue Nile&#146;s management believes that non-GAAP free cash flow provides meaningful supplemental
information regarding liquidity. Blue Nile believes that both management and investors benefit
from referring to this non-GAAP measure in assessing the performance of Blue Nile and when planning
and forecasting future periods. Further, management believes that the inclusion of the non-GAAP
free cash flow calculation provides consistency in Blue Nile&#146;s financial reporting and
comparability with similar companies in Blue Nile&#146;s industry. Investors should note, however, that
the non-GAAP financial measures used by Blue Nile may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures,
and may not be calculated in the same manner, as that of other companies. Whenever Blue Nile uses
such a non-GAAP financial measure, it provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to
the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related
GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most
directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">A reconciliation of differences of non-GAAP free cash flow from the comparable GAAP measure of net
cash provided by operating activities is as follows (in thousands):
