Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 included pre-tax Medicare lab recoveries related to prior years' services of $2.6 million and a swap valuation loss of $2.1 million.
Financial and operating highlights include: -- Cash Flow: Operating cash flow for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $106 million and free cash flow was $92 million. For the rolling 12-month period ended June 30, 2005 operating cash flow was $369 million and free cash flow was $321 million, excluding the tax benefit from stock option exercises and the after-tax benefit of Medicare lab recoveries related to prior years' services. Including those items, the rolling 12-month period operating cash flow was $421 million and free cash flow was $373 million. -- Operating Income: Operating income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, was $107.7 million and $213.7 million, respectively, excluding $2.6 million of Medicare lab recoveries related to prior years' services. -- Operating Income Margins: Operating income margins declined to 16.7%. The primary drivers were higher G&A in the quarter and increased minority interests associated with growth of existing partnerships as well as the number of new partnerships. -- Volume: Total treatments for the second quarter were 1,964,098 or 25,181 treatments per day, an increase of 15.2% per day as compared to the second quarter of last year. Non-acquired treatment growth was 5.5% for the second quarter. -- Center Activity: As of June 30, 2005, we operated or provided administrative services at 706 outpatient centers serving approximately 57,200 patients. During the second quarter we acquired 30 centers, including two centers that were previously minority owned and two centers where we previously provided administrative services. We opened 15 de novo centers. Additionally, we merged the operations of one center into one other existing center and entered into one new management services relationship. Gambro Healthcare Acquisition:
We have reached a preliminary agreement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) staff to divest approximately 70 DaVita and Gambro Healthcare centers, which represents approximately 6% of the combined number of centers and revenues. We are nearing completion with the FTC on the contents of a consent order. We expect to execute a definitive agreement to sell the divested centers in the near future that would allow us to complete a sale of the centers contemporaneously with our closing of the Gambro acquisition. We currently expect to complete the Gambro acquisition during the next thirty to sixty days. Any consent order, including the terms of the divestitures and approval of any buyer of the divested assets, remains subject to formal approval by the Commissioners of the FTC.
Outlook
We are revising our 2005 operating income guidance; operating income is now expected to be up 4% to 6% over 2004. Our previous guidance was for operating income to be up 2% to 6% over 2004. This guidance is exclusive of the effects of the proposed Gambro Healthcare acquisition and related debt financings. We continue to expect the Gambro Healthcare acquisition together with the related debt financings to be dilutive to EPS in the first year, neutral in the second year and accretive thereafter. On a stand alone basis without regard to the acquisition, we would expect our 2006 operating income to be up 0% to 3% over the 2005 level.
DaVita will be holding a conference call to discuss its second quarter results for 2005 on July 28, 2005, at 11:30 AM 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. Factors which could impact future results include the uncertainties associated with governmental regulations, general economic and other market conditions, acquisitions and the risk factors set forth in the Company's SEC filings, including its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

The leverage ratio under the Company's existing senior secured credit agreement is defined as all funded debt plus the face amount of all letters of credit issued, minus cash and cash equivalents, divided by "EBITDA". The leverage ratio determines the interest rate margin payable by the Company under the existing senior secured 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 indentures governing our recently issued Senior Notes. Such calculation is consistent with the definition of "EBITDA" contained in the existing senior secured credit agreement, except that EBITDA under our existing senior secured credit agreement is based on the last twelve-months and is not based on annualized EBITDA, and pro forma incremental "EBITDA" relating to acquisitions is included in the calculation of "EBITDA" under the existing senior secured credit agreement and is not included in the following calculations.

3. Free cash flow and free cash flow, excluding Medicare lab recoveries elated to prior years' services, and tax benefit from stock option exercises:
Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less on-development capital expenditures. We believe free cash flow is a useful djunct to cash flow from operating activities and other measurements under enerally accepted accounting principles in the United States since it is a eaningful measure of our ability to fund acquisition and development ctivities and meet our debt service requirements. Free cash flow is not a easure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting rinciples in the United States and should not be considered as an alternative o cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as an ndicator of cash flows or as a measure of liquidity.
