NEW YORK, NY – May 2, 2011 – National Financial Partners Corp. (NYSE: NFP), a leading provider of benefits, insurance and wealth management services, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011. In addition, NFP announced that it has completed an amendment to its credit agreement and its Board has authorized a $50.0 million share repurchase.
Commenting on today’s announcements, Jessica M. Bibliowicz, chairman, president and chief executive officer, said, “We are committed to executing a balanced capital allocation strategy that focuses on strategic acquisitions, reinvestment in our existing businesses and a $50 million share repurchase program.”
Ms. Bibliowicz continued, “In the first quarter 2011, we continued to see solid results in our Corporate Client Group, strength in our Advisor Services Group and wealth management businesses and challenges in life insurance. For the quarter, we reported revenue growth of 3.5% and organic revenue growth of 5.1%.”
First Quarter 2011 Results - Consolidated
NFP reported first quarter 2011 net income of $6.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with net income of $7.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
First quarter 2011 cash earnings was $18.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared with $22.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in the first quarter 2010. Net income and cash earnings include the impact of the interim effective tax rate for the first quarter 2011, which was higher than the first quarter 2010, due to changes in uncertain tax positions and tax return adjustments. The quarter was also impacted by changes in incentive plans for principals. Cash earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation of net income to this non-GAAP financial measure is provided in the attached tables.
Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter 2011 was $24.0 million with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.3%, compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $27.6 million with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12.3% in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation of net income to this non-GAAP financial measure is provided in the attached tables.
Revenue was $233.3 million in the first quarter 2011, an increase of $8.0 million, or 3.5%, compared with $225.3 million in the first quarter 2010. This increase was driven primarily by the Corporate Client Group and the Advisor Services Group. Organic revenue grew 5.1% in the first quarter 2011, compared with the prior year period, and included positive contributions from all three business segments.
Total operating expenses were $220.3 million, compared with $209.7 million in the prior year period, which were driven by increases in commissions and fees expense, compensation expense and management fees, partially offset by a decrease in non-compensation expense.
Cash flow from operations for the first quarter 2011 was $(5.9) million compared with cash flow from operations of $4.9 million in the first quarter 2010.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company analyzes its performance using historical and forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures called cash earnings and cash earnings per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and percentages or calculations using these measures. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional meaningful methods of evaluating certain aspects of the Company’s operating performance from period to period on a basis that may not be otherwise apparent under GAAP. Cash earnings is defined as net income excluding amortization of intangibles, depreciation, the after-tax impact of the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, the after-tax impact of non-cash interest expense and the after-tax impact of certain non-recurring items. Cash earnings per diluted share is calculated by dividing cash earnings by the number of weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the period indicated. Cash earnings and cash earnings per diluted share should not be viewed as substitutes for net income and net income per diluted share, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding income tax expense, interest income, interest expense, gain on early extinguishment of debt, other, net, amortization of intangibles, depreciation, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, (gain) loss on sale of businesses, the pre-tax impact of the accelerated vesting of certain RSUs and any change in estimated contingent consideration amounts recorded in accordance with purchase accounting that have been subsequently adjusted and recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed as a substitute for net income. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their GAAP counterparts is provided in the attached tables and the Company’s quarterly financial supplement for the period ended March 31, 2011, which is available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s Web site at www.nfp.com.
Organic Revenue Growth
The Company uses organic revenue growth as a comparable revenue measurement for future periods. The Company excludes the first twelve months of revenue generated from new acquisitions and the revenue derived from businesses fully disposed of in each period presented. With respect to sub-acquisitions, the Company establishes an internal revenue generation expectation (the “acquired revenue”) of a new sub-acquisition. During the first twelve months immediately following the sub-acquisition, the Company reduces the acquired revenue amount from the actual revenue generated by the sub-acquisition and includes the revenue growth above or below acquired revenue within the organic growth percentage. With respect to situations where a significant portion of a business' assets have been disposed, the Company reduces the prior year’s comparable revenue proportionally to the percentage of assets that have been disposed to facilitate an equitable organic growth comparison.

Additional factors are set forth in NFP’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the SEC on February 10, 2011.
