Net income attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $183 million, or $0.85 per share.

Financial and operating highlights include:


  • Cash Flow: For the rolling twelve months ended March 31, 2015, operating cash flow was $1.450 billion and free cash flow was $1.028 billion. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, operating cash flow was $410 million and free cash flow was $320 million. Operating cash flow and free cash flow for the rolling twelve months ended March 31, 2015 was negatively impacted by approximately $269 million of after-tax payments made in connection with the settlement of the 2010 and 2011 U.S. Attorney Physician Relationship Investigations during the fourth quarter of 2014.

  • Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Income: Adjusted operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $431 million excluding an accrual of an estimated loss contingency of $495 million. Operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015, including this item was $(64) million.

    Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $441 million.

  • Adjusted Diluted Net Income Per Share: Adjusted net income attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2015, excluding the amortization of intangible assets associated with acquisitions and an accrual of an estimated loss contingency, net of tax impacts, was $213 million, and adjusted diluted net income per share was $0.98.

    Adjusted net income attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2014, excluding the amortization of intangible assets associated with acquisitions, net of tax impacts, was $208 million, and adjusted diluted net income per share was $0.97.

  • Vainer Private Civil Suit: During the first quarter of 2015, we reached an agreement in principle with the plaintiffs in the Vainer private civil suit pursuant to which the Court stayed the litigation and the plaintiffs withdrew their motion for further sanctions. While the specific terms of settlement have not yet been finalized, we have accrued an estimated loss contingency of $495 million related to this matter, or $298 million after-tax. The $495 million consists of a settlement amount of $450 million and attorney fees and other costs of $45 million. Negotiations are ongoing and until all parties have entered into a definitive final agreement, we can make no assurances about the specific settlement terms, including monetary and nonmonetary terms, or whether the Vainer suit ultimately will settle for an amount that is not greater than the amount of the estimated loss contingency.

  • Volume: Total U.S. dialysis treatments for the first quarter of 2015 were 6,262,635, or 81,758 treatments per day, representing a per day increase of 4.5% over the first quarter of 2014. Non-acquired treatment growth in the first quarter of 2015 was 3.9% over the first quarter of 2014 and normalized non-acquired treatment growth in the first quarter of 2015 was 4.5% over the first quarter of 2014.

    The number of member months for which HCP provided capitated care during the first quarter of 2015 was approximately 2.5 million representing an increase of 5.6% as compared to the first quarter of 2014, inclusive of growth contributed from acquisitions.

  • Effective Tax Rate: Our effective tax rate was 53.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. 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 HealthCare Partners Inc. was 43.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The adjusted effective tax rate attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. excluding an estimated loss contingency was 37.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

    We are updating our 2015 effective tax rate attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. to now be approximately 39.0% to 40.0%. Our previous expected 2015 effective tax rate attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. was 39.5% to 40.5%.

  • Center Activity: As of March 31, 2015, we provided dialysis services to a total of approximately 181,000 patients at 2,290 outpatient dialysis centers, of which 2,197 centers are located in the United States and 93 centers are located in ten countries outside of the United States. During the first quarter of 2015, we opened a total of 18 new dialysis centers, acquired one dialysis center, and closed two dialysis centers in the United States. We also opened two new dialysis centers outside of the United States.

  • Share Repurchases: During the first quarter of 2015, we repurchased a total of 891,429 shares of our common stock for $70 million, or an average price of $78.60 per share. In addition, in April 2015, we repurchased a total of 175,710 shares of our common stock for $14 million, or an average price of $79.96 per share.

    On April 14, 2015, our Board of Directors approved additional share repurchases in the amount of $726 million. These recently approved share repurchases are in addition to the approximately $274 million remaining under our Board of Directors' prior share repurchase approval announced on November 4, 2010. As a result, we now have a total of $1.0 billion in outstanding authorizations available for share repurchases. These share repurchase authorizations have no expiration dates.

  • Issuance of New Senior Notes: In April 2015, we issued $1.500 billion 5.0% Senior Notes due 2025 (the 5.0% Senior Notes). The 5.0% Senior Notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. The 5.0% Senior Notes are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries. The proceeds from the 5.0% Senior Notes are being used to repurchase all of the outstanding principal balances of the $775 million 6 ⅝% Senior Notes due 2020 through a combination of a tender offer and a redemption process, to pay fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes, which may include future acquisitions and share repurchases.

Outlook

  • We are updating our consolidated operating income for 2015 to now be in the range of $1.800 billion to $1.925 billion.

    Our previous consolidated operating income guidance for 2015 was in the range of $1.750 billion to $1.900 billion.

  • We are updating our operating income for Kidney Care for 2015 to now be in the range of $1.575 billion to $1.650 billion.

    Our previous operating income guidance for Kidney Care for 2015 was in the range of $1.525 billion to $1.625 billion.

  • We still expect our operating income for HCP for 2015 to be in the range of $225 million to $275 million.

  • We still expect our consolidated operating cash flow for 2015 to be in the range of $1.500 billion to $1.700 billion.

The above projected ranges exclude the accrual of the estimated loss contingency, or any potential settlement payment, related to the Vainer Private Civil Suit.

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 and webcast to discuss our results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015 on May 5, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The earnings discussion will be immediately followed by our Capital Markets Day. To join the presentation by conference call, please dial (888) 950-9401 from the U.S. or (517) 308-9354 from outside the U.S., and refer to the "Capital Markets" call and provide the operator with your name and company affiliation. To join the presentation via webcast, please visit our web-site at investors.davitahealthcarepartners.com. A replay of the presentation will be available on DaVita's official web page for the following 30 days. There will be no telephone replay.

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements related to our guidance and expectations for our 2015 consolidated operating income, our 2015 Kidney Care operating income, HCP's 2015 operating income, our 2015 consolidated operating cash flows and our 2015 effective tax rate attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. Factors that could impact future results include the uncertainties associated with the risk factors set forth in our SEC filings, including our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, our subsequent quarterly and annual reports, and our current reports on Form 8-K. The forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these risks and uncertainties.

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, 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, which may result in the loss of revenues or patients,
  • a reduction in government payment rates under the Medicare End Stage Renal Disease program or other government-based programs,
  • the impact of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) 2015 Medicare Advantage benchmark structure,
  • risks arising from potential federal and/or state legislation that could have an adverse effect on our operations and profitability,
  • changes in pharmaceutical or anemia management practice patterns, payment policies, or pharmaceutical pricing,
  • legal compliance risks, including our continued compliance with complex government regulations including compliance with 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 settlement terms, and the financial impact thereof,
  • continued increased competition from large- and medium-sized dialysis providers that compete directly with us,
  • 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, or to businesses outside of dialysis and HealthCare Partners' (HCP) business,
  • our ability to complete acquisitions, mergers or dispositions that we might be considering or announce, or to integrate and successfully operate any business we may acquire or have acquired, including HCP, or to expand our operations and services to markets outside the United States,
  • the variability of our cash flows,
  • 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,
  • loss of key HCP employees, potential disruption from the HCP transaction making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships with customers, partners, associated physicians and physician groups, hospitals and others,
  • the risk that laws regulating the corporate practice of medicine could restrict the manner in which HCP conducts its business,
  • the risk that the cost of providing services under HCP's agreements may exceed our compensation,
  • the risk that reductions in reimbursement rates, including Medicare Advantage rates, and future regulations may negatively impact HCP's business, revenue and profitability,
  • the risk that HCP 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 HCP's healthcare provider networks could have an adverse effect on HCP's business operations and profitability,
  • the risk that reductions in the quality ratings of health maintenance organization plan customers of HCP could have an adverse effect on HCP's business, or
  • the risk that health plans that acquire health maintenance organizations may not be willing to contract with HCP or may be willing to contract only on less favorable terms.

We base our forward-looking statements on information currently available to us at the time of this release, and except as required by law 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. For the reasons stated in the reconciliation schedules, we believe our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information for investors.

The reported balance sheet amounts at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, excludes $15.6 million and $16.2 million, respectively, of a debt discount associated with our Term Loan B. In addition, the reported balance sheet amounts at March 31, 2014 exclude $16.7 million of debt discounts associated with our then existing Term Loan B and Term Loan B-2.



(4)

The Term Loan B is subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75%. Because actual LIBOR, for all periods presented above, was lower than this embedded LIBOR floor, the interest rate on the Term Loan B is set at its respective floor. At such time as the actual LIBOR-based variable component of our interest rate exceeds 0.75% on the Term Loan B, 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 B. However, we are limited to a maximum rate of 2.50% on $2.75 billion of outstanding principal debt on the Term Loan B as a result of interest rate cap agreements. The remaining $739 million outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan B is subject to LIBOR-based interest rate volatility above a floor of 0.75%.

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, 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 investors to enhance their understanding of the Company's leverage ratio under its Credit Agreement.

In addition, we have excluded amortization of intangible assets associated with acquisitions from our adjusted net income attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. and from our adjusted diluted net income per share attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. as we believe this presentation enhances a user's understanding of our operating results for these periods by providing a different reflection of the Company's operating performance since it excludes the amortization of intangible assets that relate to the fair value measurement of acquired intangible assets associated with our acquisitions to fair value, and accordingly is indicative of consistent net income excluding amortization of acquired intangibles, attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. and diluted net income per share attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc.

4.  Free cash flow


Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less 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 distributions to noncontrolling interests provides an investor with an understanding of free cash flows that are attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners 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.

5.  Total care dollars under management


In California, as a result of our managed care administrative services agreements with hospitals, HCP does not assume the direct financial risk for institutional (hospital) services in most cases, but is responsible for managing the care dollars associated with both the professional (physician) and institutional services being provided for the Per Member Per Month (PMPM) fee attributable to both professional and institutional services. In cases where HCP does not assume the direct financial risk, HCP recognizes the surplus of institutional revenue less institutional expense as HCP net revenue. In addition to revenues recognized for financial reporting purposes, HCP measures its total care dollars under management, which includes the PMPM fee payable to third parties for institutional (hospital) services where HCP manages the care provided to its members by the hospitals and other institutions, which are not included in GAAP revenues. HCP uses total care dollars under management as a supplement to GAAP revenues as it allows HCP to measure profit margins on a comparable basis across both the global capitation model (where HCP assumes the full financial risk for all services, including institutional services) and the risk sharing models (where HCP operates under managed care administrative services agreements where HCP does not assume the full risk). HCP believes that presenting amounts in this manner is useful because it presents its operations on a unified basis without the complication caused by models that HCP has adopted in its California market as a result of various regulations related to the assumption of institutional risk. Total care dollars under management is not a measure of financial performance computed in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenues calculated in accordance with GAAP. Total care dollars under management includes PMPM payments received from third parties that are recorded net of expenses in our accounting records. The following table reconciles total care dollars under management to medical revenues to the periods indicated.
