DaVita 3rd Quarter 2009 Results
EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- DaVita Inc. (NYSE: DVA) today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Net income attributable to DaVita Inc. for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $110.9 million and $313.0 million, or $1.06 per share and $3.00 per share, respectively. This compares to net income attributable to DaVita Inc. for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 of $93.9 million and $275.8 million, or $0.89 per share and $2.59 per share, respectively.
Financial and operating highlights include:
-- Cash Flow: For the rolling 12 months ended September 30, 2009 operating
cash flow was $713 million and free cash flow was $533 million. For the
three months ended September 30, 2009 operating cash flow was $167
million and free cash flow was $125 million.
-- Operating Income: Operating income for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009 was $245 million and $702 million, respectively, as
compared to $222 million and $646 million, respectively, for the same
periods of 2008.
-- Volume: Total treatments for the third quarter of 2009 were 4,339,195,
or 54,927 treatments per day, representing a per day increase of 6.1%
over the third quarter of 2008. Non-acquired treatment growth in the
quarter was 5.2% over the prior year's third quarter.
-- Effective Tax Rate: Our effective tax rate was 37.0% and 37.2% for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, 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 40.0% for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2009 which was in the range of our previously stated
guidance. Our effective tax rate for 2009 is projected to be in the
range of 36.5% to 37.5% and our 2009 effective tax rate attributable to
DaVita Inc. is still projected to be in a range of 39.5% to 40.5%.
-- Share Repurchases: During the third quarter of 2009, we repurchased a
total of 1,108,784 shares of our common stock for $62.4 million, or an
average price of $56.25 per share. For the first nine months of 2009 we
repurchased a total of 1,853,184 shares of our common stock for $94.4
million, or an average price of $50.93 per share. In addition, we
repurchased 1,049,435 shares of our common stock for $59.1 million, or
an average price of $56.32 per share, from October 1, 2009 through
October 7, 2009. All of these share repurchases were consummated
pursuant to previously announced authorizations by our Board of
Directors. On October 8, 2009, our Board of Directors authorized an
additional $500 million for share repurchases. We have not repurchased
any additional shares of our common stock under this authorization.
Therefore, the total outstanding authorization for share repurchases is
currently $500 million.
-- Center Activity: As of September 30, 2009, we operated or provided
administrative services at 1,513 outpatient dialysis centers serving
approximately 117,000 patients, of which 1,481 centers are consolidated
in our financial statements. During the third quarter of 2009, we
acquired four centers, opened 21 new centers, merged five centers,
closed one center and provided administrative and management services to
one additional third-party owned center.
Outlook
We are raising our operating income guidance range for 2009 from $900-$930 million to $930-$950 million. Also, we may modestly exceed the upper end of our previous operating cash flow guidance of $550-$600 million. Currently we expect our operating income for 2010 to be in the range of $950 million to $1.02 billion. 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, 2009 on November 3, 2009 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 2009 and 2010 operating income, 2009 operating cash flow and 2009 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 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and subsequent quarterly reports 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 ESRD program, including the implementation
of a bundled payment rate system which result in lower reimbursement for
services we provide to Medicare patients,
-- 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.
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 the presentation of "Consolidated EBITDA" is useful to investors to enhance their understanding of the Company's leverage ratio under its Credit Agreement.

1. Effective Income Tax Rates
We believe that reporting the effective income tax rate attributable to DaVita Inc. enhances a user'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 a user to fully understand the related income tax effects on DaVita Inc. operating results. 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 the effective income tax rate.
Effective income tax rate as compared to the effective income tax rate attributable to DaVita Inc. is as follows:

2. 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 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. In addition, free cash flow excluding income distributions to noncontrolling interests also provides a user with an understanding of free cash flows that are attributable to DaVita Inc. 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.
