DAVITA 3rd QUARTER 2007 RESULTS

El Segundo, California, November 1, 2007 – DaVita Inc. (NYSE: DVA), today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Income from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $94.5 million and $296.1 million, or $0.88 and $2.76 per share, respectively.

Income from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 excluding after-tax gains from insurance settlements and after-tax gains on the sale of investment securities was $89.3 million, or $0.83 per share, as compared with $69.9 million, or $0.66 per share, for the same period of 2006.

Income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 excluding after-tax gains from insurance settlements, the after-tax valuation gain on the Company’s product supply agreement with Gambro Renal Products and after-tax gains on the sale of investment securities was $254.6 million, or $2.38 per share, as compared with $192.0 million or $1.82 per share for the same period of 2006.

Financial and operating highlights include:

 

 

Cash Flow: For the rolling 12-months ended September 30, 2007 operating cash flow was $500 million and free cash flow was $396 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, operating cash flow was $96 million and free cash flow was $74 million.

 

 

Operating Income: Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $212 million including pre-tax gains from insurance settlements of $6.8 million, and was $206 million excluding these items. Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $667 million including pre-tax gains from insurance settlements of $6.8 million, and the pre-tax valuation gain on the Company’s product supply agreement with Gambro Renal Products of $55 million, and was $605 million excluding these items.

 

 

Volume: Total treatments for the third quarter of 2007 were 3,842,763 or 49,266 treatments per day, as compared to 3,668,999 or 46,443 treatments per day for the third quarter of 2006. Non-acquired treatment growth in the quarter was 5.2% over the prior year’s third quarter.

 

 

Center Activity: As of September 30, 2007, we operated or provided administrative services at 1,344 outpatient dialysis centers serving approximately 106,500 patients, of which 1,307 centers are consolidated in our financial statements. Of the remaining 37 centers, we own minority interests in 4 centers and provide administrative services to 33 centers, in which we have no ownership interest. These 37 centers serve approximately 3,400 patients. In the fourth quarter of 2007, we will discontinue providing administrative services to 20 of these centers with approximately 2,300 patients. During the third quarter of 2007, we acquired 6 centers, opened 18 new centers, closed one center, and provided administrative services to one additional center.

 

 

Effective Tax Rate: We still expect the annual effective tax rate for 2007 to be in the range of 39.0% - 40.0%.


Outlook

Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2007 is expected to be in the range of $190-200 million. We are narrowing our operating income for 2007 to a range of $800-810 million. Our operating income guidance for 2008, excluding the impact of any potential Medicare legislation, is still projected to be in the range of $790-850 million, however, we believe at this time that operating income is more likely to be in the lower end of the range for 2008. We are entering into a period of unusual earnings uncertainty. Therefore the guidance range for 2008 does not capture as high a percentage of the potential outcomes as usual. 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2007 on November 1, 2007 at 5PM 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 and 2008 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-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. 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 the structure of and payment rates under the Medicare ESRD Program which may further reduce Medicare 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 DVA Renal Healthcare’s compliance with its corporate integrity agreement,

 

   

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

 

   

the successful integration of DVA Renal Healthcare’s 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.

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.

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.

1. Income from continuing operations and net income excluding gains from insurance settlements, the valuation gain on the product supply agreement and gains on the sale of investment securities:

Income from continuing operations and net income excluding gains from insurance settlements, the valuation gain on the product supply agreement and gains on the sale of investment securities held by us, excludes certain unusual or non-recurring items in order to present a measure of income from continuing operations and net income that is more reflective of the normal day-to-day operations of our business. Gains from insurance settlements relates to insurance proceeds from Hurricane Katrina and from a fire that destroyed one of our centers. The valuation gain on the product supply agreement with Gambro Renal Products reflects a non-recurring, non-cash item that resulted from the modification of the product supply agreement, which resulted in the termination of our obligation to purchase dialysis machines from Gambro Renal Products Inc. under that agreement. Gains on the sale of investment securities related to the sale of our common stock in NxStage. We believe that the exclusion of each of these items enhances a user’s understanding of our normal operations and performance and that the adjusted amounts of income from continuing operations and net income are more comparable to prior periods and therefore more indicative of our performance for purposes of period over period comparison. Our management eliminates these items when evaluating our operating performance. These measures are not measures of financial performance under United States generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to income from continuing operations and net income.

2. Operating income excluding pre-tax gains from insurance settlements, and the pre-tax valuation gain on the product supply agreement:

Operating income excluding gains from insurance settlements, and the valuation gain on the product supply agreement, excludes certain unusual or non-recurring items in order to present a measure of operating income that is more reflective of the normal day-to-day operations of our business.

3. Free cash flow

Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less 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 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. Free cash flow 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.
