TORRANCE, Calif.
DaVita Inc.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020729/DAVITALOGO ) Financial and operating highlights include: -- For the rolling 12 months ended June 30, 2003, before considering recoveries of $59 million in 2002 related to prior years' lab billings, operating cash flow was $324 million and free cash flow was $277 million. -- Operating cash flow for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 was $79 million and $159 million, respectively. Free cash flow for the same periods was $69 million and $139 million, respectively. -- Operating income for the three and six months was $83 million and $162 million, respectively. Operating income excluding depreciation, amortization and minority interests was $103 million and $201 million, respectively (previously described as EBITDA). -- Total treatments for the second quarter were 1,579,580, an increase of 6.2% compared to the second quarter of last year. Non-acquired treatment growth was 3.4%, with acquisitions contributing the additional 2.8% to treatment growth. -- Second quarter dialysis revenue per treatment was approximately $302, compared to $291 in the second quarter of last year, an increase of 3.8%. -- As of June 30, 2003, we provided dialysis services at 539 outpatient centers serving approximately 47,000 patients. During the second quarter we acquired 11 centers and opened eight de novo centers. We also closed two centers. Included in this patient and center count are approximately 3,300 patients in 29 centers under management arrangements. Capital structure: -- During the quarter we called our 5 5/8% convertible notes, resulting in their conversion into 4.9 million shares of common stock on July 15, 2003. -- On July 15, 2003 we completed a refinancing of our senior credit facilities resulting in lower interest rates, additional borrowing of $200 million and modification of certain covenants. -- The additional borrowings will be used to redeem a portion of our outstanding 7% convertible notes, as previously announced on July 16, 2003. Guidance: -- We are updating our 2003 operating income guidance. It was $300 to $320 million. It is now $315 to $330 million. -- Our current expectation for 2004 is that operating income will be relatively flat from 2003. -- We have changed our primary guidance metric from EBITDA to operating income to simplify compliance with the SEC's new Regulation G.
DaVita will be holding a conference call to discuss its second quarter 2003 results on August 1, 2003, at 1:30 PM Eastern Daylight 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 press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe provide useful information to investors by excluding certain nonrecurring expenses and prior period recoveries and by allowing consistency and comparability in our financial reporting to prior periods for which these non-GAAP measures were previously reported. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but are not a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Included in this press release is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.
This release also contains forward-looking statements. Factors which could impact future results include the uncertainties associated with governmental regulation, general economic and other market conditions, and the risk factors set forth in the Company's SEC filings, including its Form 10-Q for the year ended March 31, 2003. The forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these risks and uncertainties.
These risks include those relating to:
-- the concentration of profits generated from PPO and private indemnity
patients and from ancillary services including the administration of
pharmaceuticals,
-- possible reductions in private and government reimbursement rates,
-- changes in pharmaceutical practice patterns or reimbursement policies,
-- the Company's ability to maintain contracts with physician medical
directors, and
-- legal compliance risks, such as those associated with the ongoing
review of the Company's Florida laboratory subsidiary by its Medicare
carrier and the Department of Justice, and the ongoing review by the
US Attorney's Office and HHS Office of Inspector General in
Philadelphia.

4. Free cash flow
Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities
less non-development capital expenditures.We believe free cash flow
is a useful adjunct to cash flow from operating activities and other
measurements under generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States since it is a meaningful measure of our ability to fund
development activities and meet our debt service requirements. Free
cash flow is not a measure of financial performance under generally
accepted accounting principlesin the United States 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.
