DAVITA 2nd QUARTER 2010 RESULTS

Denver, Colorado, August 2, 2010 – DaVita Inc. (NYSE: DVA) today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Net income attributable to DaVita Inc. for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 excluding after-tax debt redemption charges of $2.5 million, or $0.02 per share, was $110.4 million and $219.8 million, or $1.06 and $2.10 per share, respectively. This compares to net income attributable to DaVita Inc. for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 of $105.8 million and $202.0 million, or $1.02 and $1.94 per share, respectively.

Net income attributable to DaVita Inc. for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, including debt redemption charges, was $107.9 million and $217.3 million, or $1.04 and $2.08 per share, respectively.

Financial and operating highlights include:

 

 

Cash Flow:  For the rolling twelve months ended June 30, 2010 operating cash flow was $878 million and free cash flow was $692 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 operating cash flow was $296 million and free cash flow was $250 million.

 

 

Operating Income:  Operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $242 million and $485 million, respectively, as compared to $236 million and $457 million, respectively, for the same period of 2009.

 

 

Volume:  Total treatments for the second quarter of 2010 were 4,462,565, or 57,212 treatments per day, representing a per day increase of 5.5% over the second quarter of 2009. Non-acquired treatment growth in the quarter was 4.1% over the prior year’s second quarter.

 

 

Effective Tax Rate:  Our effective tax rate was 36.6% and 36.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. This effective tax rate is impacted by the amount of third party owners’ income attributable to non-tax paying entities. The effective tax rate attributable to DaVita Inc. was 39.75% and 40.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, which was within the range of our previously stated guidance. Our effective tax rate for 2010 is still projected to be in the range of 36.5% to 37.5% and our 2010 effective tax rate attributable to DaVita Inc. is still projected to be in a range of 39.5% to 40.5%.

 

 

Senior Notes:    On June 7, 2010, we redeemed $200 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 6 5/8% senior notes due 2013 at a price of 101.656% plus accrued interest. As a result of this transaction, we incurred pre-tax debt redemption charges as discussed above of $4.1 million, which includes the call premium and the net write-off of other deferred financing costs.

 

 

Share Repurchases:    During the first six months of 2010, we repurchased a total of 1,587,160 shares of our common stock for $100 million, or an average price of $63.04 per share. As a result of these transactions, the remaining balance in our current authorization for share repurchases is approximately $400 million.

 

 

Center Activity:  As of June 30, 2010, we operated or provided administrative services at 1,582 outpatient dialysis centers serving approximately 122,000 patients, of which 1,551 centers are consolidated in our financial statements. During the second quarter of 2010, we acquired 23 centers, opened 18 new centers, closed one center and sold one center.

Outlook

We are narrowing our operating income guidance for 2010 to a range of $970 million to $1,020 million. We are also revising our operating cash flow guidance for 2010. Our operating cash flow is now projected to be in the range of $725 million to $825 million. Our previous operating cash flow guidance for 2010 was in the range of $675 million to $725 million. These projections and the underlying assumptions involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those described below, and actual results may vary significantly from these current projections.

DaVita will be holding a conference call to discuss its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010 on August 2, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The dial in number is (800) 399-4406. A replay of the conference call will be available on DaVita’s official web page, www.davita.com, for the following 30 days.

This release contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements related to our 2010 operating income, operating cash flow, our expected effective tax rate and the expected effective tax rate attributable to DaVita Inc. Factors which could impact future results include the uncertainties associated with governmental regulations, general economic and other market conditions, competition, accounting estimates, the variability of our cash flows and the risk factors set forth in our SEC filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 and subsequent quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these risks and uncertainties.

These risks and uncertainties include those relating to:

 

   

the concentration of profits generated from commercial payor plans,

 

   

continued downward pressure on average realized payment rates from commercial payors, which may result in the loss of revenue or patients,

 

   

a reduction in the number of patients under higher-paying commercial plans,

 

   

a reduction in government payment rates or changes to the structure of payments under the Medicare End Stage Renal Disease program or other government-based programs, including, for example, the implementation of a bundled payment rate system which will lower reimbursement for services we provide to Medicare patients, and the impact of health care reform legislation that was enacted in the U.S. in March 2010,

 

   

changes in pharmaceutical or anemia management practice patterns, payment policies, or pharmaceutical pricing,

 

   

our ability to maintain contracts with physician medical directors,

 

   

legal compliance risks, including our continued compliance with complex government regulations,

 

   

the resolution of ongoing investigations by various federal and state governmental agencies, and

 

   

continued increased competition from large and medium-sized dialysis providers that compete directly with us.

We base our forward-looking statements on information currently available to us at the time of this release, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changes in underlying factors, new information, future events or otherwise.

This release contains non-GAAP financial measures. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see the attached reconciliation schedules. For the reasons stated in the reconciliation schedules, we believe our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information for investors.

Note 1: Calculation of the Leverage Ratio

Under the Company’s current Senior Secured Credit Facilities (Credit Agreement), the leverage ratio is defined as all funded debt plus the face amount of all letters of credit issued, minus cash and cash equivalents, divided by “Consolidated EBITDA”. The leverage ratio determines the interest rate margin payable by the Company for its term loan A and revolving line of credit under the Credit Agreement by establishing the margin over the base interest rate (LIBOR) that is applicable. The following leverage ratio was calculated using “Consolidated EBITDA” as defined in the Credit Agreement. The calculation below is based on the last twelve months of “Consolidated EBITDA”, pro forma for the routine acquisitions that occurred during the period. The Company’s management believes the presentation of “Consolidated EBITDA” is useful to investors to enhance their understanding of the Company’s leverage ratio under its Credit Agreement.

1. Net income attributable to DaVita Inc. excluding debt redemption charges and diluted earnings per share attributable to DaVita Inc. excluding debt redemption charges.

We believe that net income attributable to DaVita Inc. excluding debt redemption charges and diluted earnings per share attributable to DaVita Inc. excluding debt redemption charges enhances a user’s understanding of our normal net income attributable to DaVita Inc. and diluted earnings per share attributable to DaVita Inc. for these periods by providing a measure that is more meaningful because it excludes an unusual charge that resulted from the redemption of $200 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 6 5/8% senior notes due 2013 and accordingly, is more comparable to prior periods and indicative of consistent net income attributable to DaVita Inc. and diluted earnings per share attributable to DaVita Inc. These measures are not measures of financial performance under United States generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to DaVita Inc. and diluted earnings per share attributable to DaVita Inc.

2.    Effective Income Tax Rates

We believe that reporting the effective income tax rate attributable to DaVita Inc. enhances an investor’s understanding of DaVita’s effective income tax rate for the periods presented because it excludes noncontrolling owners’ income that primarily relates to non-tax paying entities and accordingly is more comparable to prior periods presentations regarding DaVita’s effective income tax rate and is more meaningful to an investor to fully understand the related income tax effects on DaVita Inc.’s operating results. This is not a measure under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as an alternative to the effective income tax rate calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Effective income tax rate as compared to the effective income tax rate attributable to DaVita Inc. is as follows:

3.  Free cash flow

Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less income distributions to noncontrolling interests and capital expenditures for routine maintenance and information technology. We believe free cash flow is a useful adjunct to cash flow from operating activities and other measurements under GAAP, since free cash flow is a meaningful measure of our ability to fund acquisition and development activities and meet our debt service requirements. In addition, free cash flow excluding income distributions to noncontrolling interests provides an investor with an understanding of free cash flows that are attributable to DaVita Inc. Free cash flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, as an indicator of cash flows or as a measure of liquidity.
