For the definitions of non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc., see the note titled "Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Current items impacting operating income:

Advocacy costs:  During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred advocacy costs of $45 million in countering union policy efforts, including ballot initiatives. These costs are included in the U.S. dialysis and related lab services segment in general and administrative expenses.

Equity compensation:  During the third quarter of 2018, the Company adopted a retirement policy which applies to outstanding equity awards which resulted in additional stock-based compensation expense in the quarter of $23 million related to modification charges and net acceleration of expense. This expense is included in the corporate administrative support segment.

Non-GAAP adjustments to operating income:

Restructuring charges:  In connection with our planned transition of our pharmacy business' customer service and fulfillment functions to third parties and the winding down of our distribution operation, we recognized restructuring charges of $11 million in the third quarter of 2018, which are included in general and administrative expense, as well as additional asset impairment charges of $6 million during the third quarter of 2018.

APAC JV goodwill impairment charge:  During the third quarter of 2018 we also recognized a reduction in equity earnings of $6 million as a result of goodwill impairment charges recognized by our Asia Pacific joint venture (APAC JV).

Proposition 8:  Proposition 8, a California statewide ballot initiative, was proposed by the Service Employees International Union - United Healthcare Workers West and sought to limit the amount of revenue dialysis providers can retain from caring for commercial patients by requiring rebates to insurers and taking into account only a portion of the costs incurred by dialysis providers. Proposition 8 was not approved in the November 2018 election.

Pending sale of DMG:  As previously announced in December 2017, we entered into an agreement to sell our DaVita Medical Group (DMG) division to Optum, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group Inc. The transaction is subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. As a result, the DMG business is classified as held for sale and its results of operations are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. During the third quarter of 2018, we recorded a $216 million charge on our DMG business which included a $98 million valuation adjustment and $118 million in related tax expense on this held for sale business based on an updated assessment of fair value, which includes inputs such as the transaction itself, risks and timing, and performance of the business.

Volume:  Total U.S. dialysis treatments for the third quarter of 2018 were 7,377,277, or 94,580 treatments per day, representing a per day increase of 4.0% over the third quarter of 2017. Normalized non-acquired treatment growth in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the third quarter of 2017 was 3.3%.

Effective income tax rate:  Our effective income tax rate on income from continuing operations was 31.1% and 26.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. These effective income tax rates are impacted by the amount of third party owners' income attributable to non-tax paying entities. The effective income tax rate on income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc. was 41.4% and 30.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Our effective income tax rate on income from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was impacted by the impairment charges, net loss (gain) on business ownership changes and restructuring charges related to our pharmacy business. Excluding these items from their respective periods, our effective income tax rate on adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc. for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 would have been 38.0% and 30.9%, respectively. Our effective income tax rate on adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc. was impacted during these periods by the non-deductible advocacy costs and additional non-deductible expenses related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, partially offset by the return to provision adjustments.

Center activity:  As of September 30, 2018, we provided dialysis services to a total of approximately 226,000 patients at 2,876 outpatient dialysis centers, of which 2,625 centers were located in the United States and 251 centers were located in 10 countries outside of the United States. During the third quarter of 2018, we opened a total of 47 new dialysis centers, acquired three dialysis centers, and closed five centers in the United States. We also closed two dialysis centers outside of the United States.

Share repurchases:  During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we repurchased a total of 4,849,051 shares of our common stock for approximately $344 million at an average price of $70.86 per share. We have not repurchased any shares of our common stock subsequent to September 30, 2018. As of November 5, 2018, we have repurchased a total of 16,844,067 shares of our common stock for approximately $1,154 million at an average price of $68.48 per share during 2018.

On July 11, 2018, our Board of Directors approved an additional share repurchase authorization in the amount of approximately $1,390 million. This authorization was in addition to the approximately $110 million remaining at that time under our Board of Directors' prior share repurchase authorization approved in October 2017. As of November 5, 2018, we have a total of approximately $1,356 million in outstanding Board repurchase authorizations remaining under our stock repurchase program. These share repurchase authorizations have no expiration dates.

Outlook

The following forward-looking measures and the underlying assumptions involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those described below, and actual results may vary significantly from these current forward-looking measures. We do not provide guidance for Kidney Care consolidated operating income or effective income tax rate on income from continuing operations on a GAAP basis nor a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. The following non-GAAP financial measures do not include certain items, including goodwill and other asset impairment charges, restructuring charges, gain (loss) on ownership changes and foreign currency fluctuations.

  • We now expect our Kidney Care adjusted consolidated operating income for 2018 to be in the range of $1.5 billion to $1.525 billion.
    Our previous guidance for our Kidney Care adjusted consolidated operating income for 2018 was in the range of $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion.
  • We still expect our operating cash flow from continuing operations for 2018 to be in the range of $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion.
  • We now expect our 2018 effective income tax rate on income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc. to be approximately 30.5% to 31.5%.
    Our previous guidance for our 2018 effective income tax rate on income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc. was approximately 28.5% to 29.5%.

We will be holding a conference call to discuss our results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018 on November 7, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. To join the conference call, please dial (877) 918-6630 from the U.S. or (517) 308-9042 from outside the U.S., and provide the operator the password 'Earnings'. A replay of the conference call will be available on our website at investors.davita.com for the following 30 days.

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As used in this press release, the term "adjusted" refers to non-GAAP measures as follows, each as reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure as presented in the non-GAAP reconciliations in the notes to this press release: (i) for income measures, the term "adjusted" refers to operating performance measures that exclude certain items such as impairment charges, (gain) loss on ownership changes, restructuring charges, and gains and charges associated with settlements; and (ii) the term "effective income tax rate on adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc." represents the Company's effective tax rate excluding applicable non-GAAP items and noncontrolling owners' income, which primarily relates to non-tax paying entities.

These non-GAAP or "adjusted" measures are presented because management believes these measures are useful adjuncts to GAAP results. However, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered alternatives to the corresponding measures determined under GAAP.

Specifically, we use adjusted operating income, adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc. and adjusted diluted net income from continuing operations per share attributable to DaVita Inc. to compare and evaluate our performance period over period and relative to competitors, to analyze the underlying trends in our business, to establish operational budgets and forecasts and for incentive compensation purposes. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to management, investors and analysts in evaluating our performance over time and relative to competitors, as well as in analyzing the underlying trends in our business. We also believe these presentations enhance a user's understanding of our normal consolidated operating income by excluding certain items which we do not believe are indicative of our ordinary results of operations. As a result, adjusting for these amounts allows for comparison to our normalized prior period results.

In addition, the effective income tax rate on income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc. excludes noncontrolling owners' income, which primarily relates to non-tax paying entities, and the effective income tax rate on adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc. excludes noncontrolling owners' income and certain non-deductible and other charges which we do not believe are indicative of our ordinary results. Accordingly, we believe these adjusted effective income tax rates are useful to management, investors and analysts in evaluating our performance and establishing expectations for income taxes incurred on our ordinary results attributable to DaVita Inc.

Finally, free cash flow from continuing operations represents net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less distributions to noncontrolling interests and capital expenditures for routine maintenance and information technology from continuing operations. We believe this non-GAAP measure is useful to management, investors and analysts as an adjunct to cash flow from operating activities from continuing operations and other measures under GAAP, since free cash flow from continuing operations is meaningful for assessing our ability to fund acquisition and development activities and meet our debt service obligations.

It is important to bear in mind that these non-GAAP "adjusted" measures are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, nor as substitutes for, their most comparable GAAP measures.

Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures presented herein to their most comparable GAAP measures are included at Notes 2, 3, 4 and 5 at the end of this press release.

DaVita Inc. and its representatives may from time to time make written and oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PSLRA"), including statements in this release, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), reports to stockholders and in meetings with investors and analysts. All such statements in this release, during the related presentation or other meetings, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements and as such are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for "forward-looking statements" provided by the PSLRA. Without limiting the foregoing, statements including the words "expect," "intend," "will," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "we are confident that," "forecast," "guidance," "outlook," "goals," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these risks and uncertainties. All forward-looking statements in this release are based on information available to us on the date of this presentation. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of our guidance, the assessment of the underlying assumptions or other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changed circumstances, new information, future events or otherwise.

These forward-looking statements could include but are not limited to statements related to our guidance and expectations for our 2018 Kidney Care adjusted consolidated operating income, our 2018 operating cash flows from continuing operations, our 2018 effective income tax rate on income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc., our expected costs associated with countering union policy efforts, including ballot initiatives, our expectations regarding the pending DMG sale transaction, our expectations related to our stock repurchase program, and uncertainties associated with the other risk factors set forth in our most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the other risks discussed in our subsequent reports filed with the SEC from time to time.

Our actual results could differ materially from any forward-looking statements due to numerous factors that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of those risk factors in our SEC filings relating to:

  • the concentration of profits generated by higher-paying commercial payor plans for which there is continued downward pressure on average realized payment rates, and a reduction in the number of patients under such plans, including as a result of restrictions or prohibitions on the use and/or availability of charitable premium assistance, which may result in the loss of revenues or patients, or our making incorrect assumptions about how our patients will respond to any change in financial assistance from charitable organizations;
  • the extent to which the ongoing implementation of healthcare exchanges or changes in or new legislation, regulations or guidance, or enforcement thereof, including among other things those regarding the exchanges, results in a reduction in reimbursement rates for our services from and/or the number of patients enrolled in 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 the Medicare Advantage benchmark structure;
  • risks arising from potential and proposed federal and/or state legislation, regulation or ballot or other initiatives, including healthcare-related and labor-related legislation, regulation or ballot or other initiatives;
  • the impact of the changing political environment and related developments on the current health care marketplace and on our business, including with respect to the future of the Affordable Care Act, the exchanges and many other core aspects of the current health care marketplace;
  • uncertainties related to the impact of federal tax reform legislation;
  • changes in pharmaceutical practice patterns, reimbursement and payment policies and processes, or pharmaceutical pricing, including with respect to calcimimetics;
  • legal compliance risks, such as our continued compliance with complex government regulations and the provisions of our current corporate integrity agreement and current or potential investigations by various government entities and related government or private-party proceedings, and restrictions on our business and operations required by our corporate integrity agreement and other current or potential settlement terms and the financial impact thereof and our ability to recover any losses related to such legal matters from third parties;
  • continued increased competition from dialysis providers and others, and other potential marketplace changes;
  • our ability to reduce administrative expenses while maintaining targeted levels of service and operating performance, including our ability to achieve anticipated savings from our recent restructurings;
  • our ability to maintain contracts with physician medical directors, changing affiliation models for physicians, and the emergence of new models of care introduced by the government or private sector that may erode our patient base and reimbursement rates, such as accountable care organizations, independent practice associations and integrated delivery systems;
  • our ability to complete acquisitions, mergers or dispositions that we might announce or be considering, on terms favorable to us or at all, or to integrate and successfully operate any business we may acquire or have acquired, or to successfully expand our operations and services in markets outside the United States, or to businesses outside of dialysis;
  • noncompliance by us or our business associates with any privacy laws or any security breach by us or a third party involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information;
  • the variability of our cash flows;
  • the risk that we may not be able to generate sufficient cash in the future to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs, and the risk that we may not be able to refinance our indebtedness as it becomes due, on terms favorable to us or at all;
  • factors that may impact our ability to repurchase stock under our stock repurchase program and the timing of any such stock repurchases, including market conditions, the price of our common stock, our cash flow position, borrowing capacity and leverage ratios, and legal, regulatory and contractual requirements;
  • the risk that we might invest material amounts of capital and incur significant costs in connection with the growth and development of our international operations, yet we might not be able to operate them profitably anytime soon, if at all;
  • risks arising from the use of accounting estimates, judgments and interpretations in our financial statements;
  • impairment of our goodwill, investments or other assets;
  • the risks and uncertainties associated with the timing, conditions and receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions of the DMG sale transaction and continued disruption in connection with the DMG sale transaction making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships;
  • risks and uncertainties related to our ability to complete the DMG sale transaction on the terms set forth in the equity purchase agreement or at all;
  • uncertainties related to our liquidity following the close of the DMG sale transaction and our planned subsequent entry into new external financing arrangements, which may be less than we anticipate;
  • uncertainties related to our use of the proceeds from the DMG sale transaction and other available funds, including external financing and cash flow from operations, which may be used in ways that may not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock;
  • risks related to certain contractual restrictions on the conduct of DMG's business while the DMG sale transaction is pending and certain post-closing contractual obligations;
  • the risk that laws regulating the corporate practice of medicine could restrict the manner in which DMG conducts its business;
  • the risk that the cost of providing services under DMG's agreements may exceed our compensation;
  • the risk that any reductions in reimbursement rates, including Medicare Advantage rates, and future regulations may negatively impact DMG's business, revenue and profitability;
  • the risk that DMG may not be able to successfully establish a presence in new geographic regions or successfully address competitive threats that could reduce its profitability;
  • the risk that a disruption in DMG's healthcare provider networks could have an adverse effect on DMG's business operations and profitability;
  • the risk that reductions in the quality ratings of health plans DMG serves or healthcare services that DMG provides could have an adverse effect on DMG's business; and
  • the risk that health plans that acquire health maintenance organizations may not be willing to contract with DMG or may be willing to contract only on less favorable terms.

DAVITA INC.
SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA-continued
(unaudited)
(dollars in thousands)

Note 1: Calculation of the Leverage Ratio

Under the 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, including short-term investments, 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. The Company's management believes the presentation of "Consolidated EBITDA" is useful to users to enhance their understanding of the Company's leverage ratio under its Credit Agreement. The leverage ratio calculated by the Company is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered a substitute for debt to net income attributable to DaVita Inc., net income attributable to DaVita Inc. or total debt as determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company's calculation of its leverage ratio might not be calculated in the same manner as, and thus might not be comparable to, similarly titled measures by other companies.
