DAVITA 2nd QUARTER 2008 RESULTS
El Segundo, California, August 4, 2008 – DaVita Inc. (NYSE: DVA) today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was $95.0 million and $181.9 million, or $0.90 per share and $1.70 per share, respectively. This compares to net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 of $88.7 million and $165.2 million, or $0.83 per share and $1.55 per share, respectively, which exclude a valuation gain on the Company’s alliance and product supply agreement with Gambro and exclude after-tax gains on the sale of investment securities.
Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 including the valuation gain on the Company’s alliance and product supply agreement with Gambro and including after-tax gains on the sale of investment securities was $125.0 million and $201.6 million, or $1.17 per share and $1.89 per share, respectively.
Financial and operating highlights include:
| • | Cash Flow: For the rolling 12 months ended June 30, 2008 operating cash flow was $545 million and free cash flow was $446 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 operating cash flow was $135 million and free cash flow was $114 million. |
| • | Operating Income: Operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was $206 million and $402 million, respectively, as compared to $206 million and $399 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2007, which exclude a pre-tax valuation gain of $55 million on the product supply agreement. |
| • | Volume: Total treatments for the second quarter of 2008 were 4,018,763 or 51,523 treatments per day, representing a per day increase of 6.0% over the second quarter of 2007. Non-acquired treatment growth in the quarter was 4.5% over the prior year’s second quarter. |
| • | Effective Tax Rate: The effective tax rate was 38.0% and 38.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. As a result of realizing certain tax benefits during the second quarter of 2008 we are lowering the range of our projected 2008 annual effective tax rate to 38.5%-39.5%. We currently project our 2009 effective tax rate to return to around 40.0%. |
| • | Share Repurchases: During the second quarter of 2008 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008, we repurchased a total of 2,778,853 and 3,461,353 shares, respectively, of our common stock for $137.2 million and $169.7 million, or an average price of $49.35 and $49.02 per share, respectively, pursuant to previously announced Board authorizations. We have not repurchased any additional shares of our common stock subsequent to June 30, 2008. |
| • | Center Activity: As of June 30, 2008, we operated or provided administrative services at 1,401 outpatient dialysis centers serving approximately 109,000 patients, of which 1,378 centers are consolidated in our financial statements. During the second quarter of 2008, we acquired 6 centers, opened 12 new centers, merged 2 centers, closed 4 centers, and discontinued providing administrative services to 1 center. |
Outlook
We are narrowing our operating income guidance for 2008 to a range of $800-$840 million. Our operating income for 2009 is currently projected to be in the range of $820-$880 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, 2008 on August 4, 2008 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, including statements related to our 2008 and 2009 operating results and our 2009 expected effective tax rate. Factors which could impact future results include the uncertainties associated with governmental regulations, general economic and other market conditions, competition, accounting estimates and the risk factors set forth in the Company’s SEC filings, including its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. 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, and possible reductions in 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 compliance with the corporate integrity agreement applicable to the dialysis centers acquired from Gambro Healthcare and assumed in connection with such acquisition, and |
| • | the resolution of ongoing investigations by various federal and state governmental agencies. |
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.

1. Net income excluding the valuation gain on the alliance and product supply agreement (the Product Supply Agreement) and gains on the sale of investment securities:
We believe that net income excluding the valuation gain on the Product Supply Agreement and gains on the sale of investment securities enhances a user’s understanding of our normal net income for these periods by providing a measure that is more meaningful because it excludes a non-recurring non-cash item that resulted from the termination of our purchase obligation for dialysis machines from Gambro Renal Products Inc. under the Amended Product Supply Agreement and non-recurring gains on the sale of investment securities and accordingly is more comparable to current and prior periods and indicative of consistent net income. 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 net income.

2. Operating income excluding the pre-tax valuation gain on the Product Supply Agreement:
We believe that operating income excluding the valuation gain on the Product Supply Agreement enhances a user’s understanding of our normal operating income for these periods by providing a measure that is more meaningful because it excludes a non-recurring non-cash item that resulted from the termination of our purchase obligation for dialysis machines from Gambro Renal Products Inc. under the Amended Product Supply Agreement and accordingly is more comparable to prior periods and indicative of consistent operating income 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 operating income.

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.
