quarter ended April&nbsp;2, 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Blue Nile reported net sales of $50.7&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to net sales
of $44.1&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2005, an increase of 14.9%. Net income in the first
quarter totaled $2.4&nbsp;million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to $2.6&nbsp;million, or $0.14 per
diluted share, in the prior year. In the first quarter of 2006, the Company adopted the new
accounting requirements, SFAS 123R, related to expensing stock-based compensation, which reduced
net income by $0.03 per diluted share.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Non-GAAP free cash flow increased 53.9% to $29.6&nbsp;million for the trailing twelve month period ended
April&nbsp;2, 2006, compared to $19.2&nbsp;million for the trailing twelve month period ended April&nbsp;3, 2005.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased 47.4% to $31.1&nbsp;million for the trailing twelve
month period ended April&nbsp;2, 2006, compared to $21.1&nbsp;million for the trailing twelve month period
ended April&nbsp;3, 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;Our first quarter net sales growth reflects our focus on providing an exceptional experience
for our customers,&#148; said Mark Vadon, Chief Executive Officer. &#147;We are pleased with the sales
growth we achieved in the first quarter, despite the challenging cost environment for online
marketing, while performing at a high level of execution for our customers and operating
efficiently throughout the business. Our trailing twelve month free cash flow results at the end
of the first quarter highlight the strong cash flow generation capabilities of our business model.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Mr.&nbsp;Vadon added, &#147;Through the balance of 2006, we will focus on enhancing the Blue Nile customer
experience and building upon our market leadership position in online diamond and jewelry
retailing. We will remain disciplined in our focus on profitable growth.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Blue Nile also announced that it repurchased 187,400 shares of its common stock during the quarter
ended April&nbsp;2, 2006 for $6.1&nbsp;million. On February&nbsp;7, 2006, Blue Nile announced that its Board of
Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $100&nbsp;million of the Company&#146;s common stock over 24

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U><B>Non-GAAP Financial Measures</B></U><BR>
To supplement Blue Nile&#146;s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (&#147;GAAP&#148;), Blue Nile uses non-GAAP free cash flow and non-GAAP net
income as measures of certain components of financial performance. Blue Nile defines non-GAAP free
cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash outflows for purchases of fixed
assets, including internal use software and website development, and defines non-GAAP net income as
GAAP net income excluding SFAS 123R stock-based compensation expense and the related income tax
effect. 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. Investors should also note 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 non-GAAP financial measures,
it provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely applicable GAAP
financial measures. 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 measures.
</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.
</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):
