Exhibit 99.1

Related to Forward-Looking Statements
Certain
items
in
this
presentation
and
in
today’s
discussion,
including
matters
relating
to
revenue,
net
income,
Adjusted
EBITDA,
cash earnings, cash earnings per diluted share and percentages or calculations using these measures, acquisitions, capital
structure or growth rates and other financial measurements and non-financial statements in future periods, constitute forward-
looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking
statements are based on management's current views with respect to future results and are subject to risks and uncertainties.
These statements are not guarantees of future performance.  Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by
forward-looking
statements.
National
Financial
Partners
Corp.
(“NFP”
or
the
“Company”)
refers
you
to
its
filings
with
the
SEC,
including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed on February 13, 2012, for additional
discussion of these risks and uncertainties as well as a cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements.  Forward-
looking statements made during this presentation speak only as of today's date.  NFP expressly disclaims any obligation to update
or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Related to Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company analyzes its performance using historical and forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures called cash
earnings, 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; the after-
tax impact of change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables recorded in accordance with purchase accounting that
have
been
subsequently
adjusted
and
recorded
in
the
consolidated
statements
of
operations;
the
after-tax
impact
of
management contract buyouts 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, net; the accelerated
vesting of certain RSUs; any change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables recorded in accordance with purchase
accounting that have been subsequently adjusted and recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and the
expense related to management contract buyouts. Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed as a substitute for net
income. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their GAAP counterparts for the periods presented
herein is provided in the Company’s quarterly financial supplement for the period ended June 30, 2012, which is
available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s Web site at www.nfp.com.

Reconciliation: Net Income to Cash Earnings

assets; the after-tax impact of non-cash interest; the after-tax impact of change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables recorded in accordance with purchase accounting that have been subsequently adjusted
and recorded in the consolidated statements of operations; the after-tax impact of management contract buyouts and the after-tax impact of certain non-recurring items.

Increases in operating cash flow from both organic growth and acquisitions offset by:

(plan period 10/10-12/11)
2Q12: payments of $13.0 million for legal settlement and other payments, expect to be reimbursed  for a
significant portion in 2H12; and unfavorable timing differences in working capital
