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

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, http://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.
This release contains non-GAAP financial measures. For reconciliations of
these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable measure calculated

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. 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.

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.
