4Q12 Earnings Presentation

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 income; 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, or reversal of previously-recognized expenses related to, 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 income 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 December 31, 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
(1)
Cash earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company defines 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 income; the after-tax impact of management contract buyouts and the after-tax impact of certain non-recurring items.
