DAVITA 1st QUARTER 2007 RESULTS
El Segundo, California, April 30, 2007 – DaVita Inc. (NYSE: DVA), today announced results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $76.6 million, or $0.72 per share, as compared with $57.5 million, or $0.55 per share, for the same period of 2006.
Financial and operating highlights include:
| • | Cash Flow: For the rolling 12-months ended March 31, 2007 operating cash flow was $631 million and free cash flow was $515 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, operating cash flow was $88 million and free cash flow was $61 million. |
| • | Operating Income: Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $193 million. |
| • | Volume: Total treatments for the first quarter of 2007 were 3,700,271 or 47,807 treatments per day. Non-acquired treatment growth in the quarter was 4.0% over the prior year’s first quarter. |
| • | Center Activity: As of March 31, 2007, we operated or provided administrative services at 1,308 outpatient dialysis centers serving approximately 104,000 patients, which includes 32 third-party owned centers serving approximately 2,800 patients. During the first quarter of 2007 we opened 11 new centers, discontinued providing administrative services to two third-party owned centers and closed one center. |
| • | Effective Tax Rate: We currently expect the annual effective tax rate for 2007 to be in the range of 39.0% - 40.0%. |
| • | Debt Transactions: During the first quarter of 2007, we issued $400 million of 6 5/8% senior notes due 2013, and used the proceeds to pay down our term loan B. In addition, we amended and restated our existing senior secured credit facilities to, among other things, reduce the interest rate margin on our term loan B by 0.50%, and change certain financial covenants. The new term loan B bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%. In connection with these transactions, we wrote-off deferred financing costs and other costs totaling approximately $4.4 million, which is included in debt expense, representing an after-tax amount of $2.7 million, or $0.02 per share. |
Outlook
We are revising our 2007 operating income guidance: Operating income is now projected to be in the range of $740-$780 million. Our previous guidance was for operating income to be in the range of $700-$760 million. Operating cash flow for 2007 is currently projected to be in the range of $460-$510 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2007 on April 30, 2007 at noon 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, including statements related to our 2007 operating results. Factors which could impact future results include the uncertainties associated with governmental regulations, general economic and other market conditions, accounting estimates and the risk factors set forth in the Company’s SEC filings, including its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. 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, |
| • | possible reductions in private and government payment rates, |
| • | 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 and the subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York, the subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri and DVA Renal Healthcare’s compliance with its corporate integrity agreement, |
| • | our ability to complete and integrate acquisitions of businesses, and |
| • | the successful integration of DVA Renal Healthcare, including its billing and collection operations. |
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.

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 that the presentation of “Consolidated EBITDA” is useful to investors to enhance their understanding of the Company’s leverage ratio under its Credit Agreement.

RECONCILIATIONS FOR NON-GAAP MEASURES
(unaudited)
(dollars in thousands)
1. Operating cash flow, excluding the income tax payment on divested centers:
We believe that operating cash flow excluding the income tax payment on divested centers enhances a user’s understanding of our normal operating cash flows for these periods by providing a measure that is more meaningful because it excludes non-recurring transactions that can cause unusual fluctuations in our operating cash flows and accordingly is more comparable to prior periods and indicative of consistent operating cash flow items. This measure is not a measure of financial performance under United States generally accepted accounting principles 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.

2. Free cash flow and free cash flow, excluding the income tax payment on divested centers:
Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures for routine maintenance and information technology. We believe free cash flow and free cash flow excluding the income tax payment on divested centers are useful adjuncts to cash flow from operating activities and other measurements under United States generally accepted accounting principles, since free cash flow is a meaningful measure of our ability to fund acquisition and development activities and meet our debt service requirements and because free cash flow excluding the income tax payment on divested centers excludes a non-recurring transaction that can cause unusual fluctuations in our free cash flows and accordingly is more comparable to prior periods and indicative of consistent free cash items. Free cash flow and free cash flow excluding the income tax payment on divested centers are not measures of financial performance under United States generally accepted accounting principles 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.
