Black Diamond, Inc. (NASDAQ:BDE) Files An 8-K Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On May 8, 2017, the Registrant issued a press release announcing
results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017 (the Press
Release). A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit
99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Press Release contains the non-GAAP measures: (i) net income
(loss) before non-cash items and related income (loss) per
diluted share, and adjusted net income (loss) before non-cash
items and related income (loss) per diluted share, and (ii)
earnings before interest, taxes, other income, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA), and adjusted EBITDA. The Company also
believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP measures,
i.e.: (i) net income (loss) before non-cash items and related
income (loss) per diluted share, and adjusted net income (loss)
before non-cash items and related income (loss) per diluted
share, and (ii) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, 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, along with the nearest
GAAP measures, a baseline for modeling future earnings
expectations. The non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable
GAAP financial measures in the financial tables within the Press
Release. The Registrant cautions that non-GAAP measures should be
considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the
Registrants reported GAAP results. Additionally, the Registrant
notes that there can be no assurance that the above referenced
non-GAAP financial measures are comparable to similarly titled
financial measures used by other publicly traded companies

The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K
and the Press Release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 shall not
be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act
of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by
reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific
reference in such filing.
