Income from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 included incremental after-tax stock-based compensation expense of $2.8 million and $5.6 million or $0.02 and $0.05 per share, respectively, related to SFAS No. 123®. Net income including discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $63.2 million and $120.7 million or $0.60 and $1.14 per share, respectively.
Financial and operating highlights include: -- Cash Flow: Operating cash flow for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $256 million and free cash flow was $227 million. For the rolling 12-months ended June 30, 2006 operating cash flow was $572 million and free cash flow was $482 million, in each case excluding the tax benefit from stock option exercises and an $85 million income tax payment associated with the divestiture of centers in conjunction with the Gambro Healthcare acquisition. Including these items, operating cash flow for the rolling 12-months was $500 million and free cash flow was $411 million. -- Operating Income: Operating income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006, was $172 million and $334 million, respectively. -- Volume: Total treatments for the second quarter were 3,602,567 or 46,187 treatments per day, as compared to 3,501,032 or 45,468 treatments per day for the first quarter of 2006. Non-acquired treatment growth in the quarter was 4.1% over the prior year's quarter. -- Center Activity: As of June 30, 2006, we operated or provided administrative services at 1,255 outpatient centers serving approximately 100,000 patients. During the second quarter of 2006 we acquired 8 centers, including one center where we previously provided management services, opened 10 new centers and closed 3 centers. Outlook
We are revising our 2006 operating income guidance; operating income is now expected to be in the $670-700 million range. Our previous guidance was for operating income to be in the $600-680 million range. 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.
DaVita will be holding a conference call to discuss its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 on August 2, 2006 at 12 p.m. noon 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, including statements related to our 2006 operating results. 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, 2006. 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 preferred provider organizations and private indemnity patients, -- possible reductions in private and government payment rates, -- changes in pharmaceutical 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 and the ongoing review by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the OIG, the subpoena from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York, the subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Missouri and DVA Renal Healthcare's (formerly known as Gambro Healthcare, Inc.) compliance with its corporate integrity agreement, -- our ability to complete and integrate acquisitions of businesses, and -- the successful integration of DVA Renal Healthcare, including its billing and collection operations.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA-continued (unaudited) (dollars in thousands) Note 1: Calculation of the Leverage Ratio Under the Company's current credit agreement (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 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 the DVA Renal Healthcare acquisition and related divestitures as well as other routine acquisitions. The Company's management believes that the presentation of "Consolidated EBITDA" is useful to investors to enhance their understanding of the Company's leverage ratio under its Credit Agreement.

At that date, the Company's leverage ratio did not exceed 6.0 to 1.0. DAVITA INC. RECONCILIATIONS FOR NON-GAAP MEASURES (unaudited) (dollars in thousands) 1. Operating cash flow, excluding tax benefit from stock option exercises and income tax payment on divested centers: We believe that operating cash flow excluding tax benefit from stock option exercises and income tax payment on divested centers enhances a user's understanding of our normal operating cash flows for these periods by providing a measure that is more meaningful because it is comparable to prior periods and indicative of consistent operating cash flow items, and because it excludes certain non-recurring transactions that can cause unusual fluctuations in our operating cash flows. This measure is not a measure of financial performance under United States generally accepted accounting principles 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. Rolling Six months 12-Month ended Period June 30, ended Q2 2006 Q1 2006 2006 Q2 2005 Q2 2006 Cash (used in) provided by operating activities $256,090 $(23,564) $232,526 $106,195 $500,479 Less: Tax benefit from stock option exercises (591) (983) (1,574) (10,753) (14,212) Income tax payment on divested centers -- 85,328 85,328 -- 85,328 $255,499 $60,781 $316,280 $95,442 $571,595 2. Free cash flow and free cash flow, excluding tax benefit from stock option exercises and income tax payment on divested centers: Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less 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 United States generally accepted accounting principles, since it is a meaningful measure of our ability to fund acquisition and development activities and meet our debt service requirements. Free cash flow is not a measure of financial performance under United States generally accepted accounting principles 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.
