Financial and operating highlights include:

  • Cash Flow: For the year ended December 31, 2011 operating cash flow was $1,180 million and free cash flow was $855 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2011 operating cash flow was $151 million and free cash flow was $32 million.
  • Operating Income: Operating income for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011 was $330 million and $1,155 million, respectively, which for the year ended December 31, 2011, excludes the pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $24 million. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2011 including this item was $1,131 million.Operating income for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2010 was $255 million and $997 million, respectively.
  • Volume: Total U.S. treatments for the fourth quarter of 2011 were 5,227,167, or 66,167 treatments per day, representing a per day increase of 12.4% over the fourth quarter of 2010. Non-acquired treatment growth in the quarter was 4.4% over the prior year’s fourth quarter. Our normalized non-acquired treatment growth in the quarter was 4.8% over the prior year’s fourth quarter.
  • Effective Tax Rate: Our effective tax rate was 34.1% and 35.4% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, 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 38.0% and 39.6% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, respectively. We currently expect our 2012 effective tax rate attributable to DaVita Inc. to be in the range of 40.0% to 41.0%.
  • Center Activity: As of December 31, 2011, we operated or provided administrative services at 1,809 outpatient dialysis centers located in the United States serving approximately 142,000 patients and 11 outpatient dialysis centers that are located in three countries outside of the United States. A total of 1,784 centers are consolidated in our financial statements, of which eight centers are located outside of the United States. During the fourth quarter of 2011, we acquired and opened a total of 45 centers, and divested two centers in connection with the acquisition of DSI.

Outlook

Our operating income guidance for 2012 is still expected to be in the range of $1,200 million to $1,300 million. We also expect our operating cash flows for 2012 to be in the range of $950 million to $1,050 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.

We will be holding a conference call to discuss our results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011 on February 16, 2012 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, within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements related to our 2012 operating income, our 2012 operating cash flows and our 2012 expected effective tax rate attributable to DaVita Inc. Factors that 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 annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011 and subsequent quarterly reports to be filed 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 under the Medicare End Stage Renal Disease program or other government-based programs,
  • the impact of health care legislation that was enacted in the United States in March 2010,
  • 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,
  • current or potential investigations by various government entities and related government or private-party proceedings,
  • continued increased competition from large and medium-sized dialysis providers that compete directly with us,
  • our ability to complete any acquisitions, mergers or dispositions that we might be considering or announce, or integrate and successfully operate any business we may acquire, and
  • expansion of our operations and services to markets outside the United States, or to businesses outside of dialysis.

We base our forward-looking statements on information currently available to us at the time of this release, and 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.

For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see attached reconciliation schedules. (2) Consolidated percentages of revenue are comprised of the dialysis and related lab services business, other ancillary services and strategic initiatives, as well as stock-based compensation expenses. (3) The quarters ended December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, excludes $7.8 million and $8.3 million, respectively, of debt discounts associated with our Term Loan B and our Term Loan A-2 that are not actually outstanding debt principal. The quarter ended December 31, 2010, excludes $8.4 million of a debt discount associated with our Term Loan B that is not actually outstanding debt principal. (4) The Term Loan A-2 and Term Loan B are subject to LIBOR floors of 1.00% and 1.50%, respectively. Because LIBOR, as of December 31, 2011, was lower than either of these floors, the interest rates on the Term Loan A-2 and the Term Loan B are treated as “fixed” for purposes of the table above. We have included both of these Term loans in the fixed rate totals in the table above until such time as the LIBOR-based component of our interest rate exceeds 1.00% on the Term Loan A-2 and 1.50% on the Term Loan B. at such time, we will then be subject to LIBOR-based interest rate volatility on the LIBOR variable component of our interest rate on all of the Term Loan A-2, as well as for the Term Loan B, but limited to a maximum rate of 4.00% on $1.25 billion of outstanding principal debt on the Term Loan B. The remaining $483 million outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan B is subject to LIBOR-based interest rate volatility above a floor of 1.50%.   DAVITA INC.

Note 1: Calculation of the Leverage Ratio

 

Under the Company’s 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 routine acquisitions that occurred during the period.

1. Income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc. excluding an after-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge and after-tax debt refinancing and redemption charges and diluted income from continuing operations per share attributable to DaVita Inc. excluding an after-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge and after-tax debt refinancing and redemption charges.

 

We believe that income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc. excluding an after-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge and after-tax debt refinancing and redemption charges enhances a user’s understanding of our normal income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc. and diluted income from continuing operations per share attributable to DaVita Inc. for these periods by providing a measure that is more meaningful because it excludes: (1) a non-cash goodwill impairment charge that resulted from a decrease in the implied fair value of goodwill below its carrying amount associated with our infusion therapy business during the second quarter of 2011 and (2) charges that resulted from the refinancing of our Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the redemption of the aggregate principal amounts of our outstanding 6 ⅝% senior notes due 2013 and the aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 7 ¼% senior subordinated notes due 2015, as well as a partial redemption of $200 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 6⅝% senior notes due 2013 that occurred in the second quarter of 2010 and accordingly, is more comparable to prior periods and indicative of consistent income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc. and diluted income from continuing operations per share attributable to DaVita Inc. These measures are not measures of financial performance under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative to income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc. and diluted income from continuing operations per share attributable to DaVita Inc.

2. Operating income excluding a pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge.

 

We believe that operating income excluding a pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge 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-cash goodwill impairment charge that resulted from a decrease in the implied fair value of goodwill below its carrying amount associated with our infusion therapy business during the second quarter of 2011 and accordingly, is more comparable to prior periods and indicative of consistent operating income. This measure is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income.

3. Effective Income Tax Rates.

 

We believe that reporting the effective income tax rate attributable to DaVita Inc. enhances an investor’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 an investor to fully understand the related income tax effects on DaVita Inc.’s operating results. This is not a measure under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the effective income tax rate calculated in accordance with GAAP.

 

Effective income tax rate as compared to the effective income tax rate attributable to DaVita Inc. is as follows:

4. 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 GAAP, 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 provides an investor with an understanding of free cash flows that are attributable to DaVita Inc. Free cash flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP 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.
