Income from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 including the valuation gain on the Product Supply Agreement and the gains on the sale of investment securities was $125.0 million and $201.6 million, or $1.17 and $1.89 per share, respectively.
Financial and operating highlights include: * Cash Flow: For the rolling 12-months ended June 30, 2007 operating cash flow was $501 million and free cash flow was $389 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, operating cash flow was $126 million and free cash flow was $102 million. * Operating Income: Operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 excluding the pre-tax valuation gain on the Product Supply Agreement of $55 million, was $206 million and $399 million, respectively. * Volume: Total treatments for the second quarter of 2007 were 3,792,419 or 48,621 treatments per day, as compared to 3,602,567 or 46,187 treatments per day for the second quarter of 2006. Non-acquired treatment growth in the quarter was 4.6% over the prior year's second quarter. * Center Activity: As of June 30, 2007, we operated or provided administrative services at 1,321 outpatient dialysis centers serving approximately 106,000 patients, which includes 32 third-party owned centers serving approximately 3,000 patients. During the second quarter of 2007, we acquired 4 centers, opened 10 new centers, and divested one center. * Effective Tax Rate: We still expect the annual effective tax rate for 2007 to be in the range of 39.0% - 40.0%. Outlook
We are revising our 2007 operating income guidance: operating income is now expected to be in the $790-$820 million range. Our previous guidance was for operating income to be in the range of $740-$780 million. Our operating income guidance for 2008, excluding the impact of any potential Medicare legislation, is projected to be in the range of $790-$850 million. We are entering into a period of unusual earnings uncertainty. Therefore the guidance range for 2008 does not capture as high a percentage of the potential outcomes as usual. 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, 2007 on August 2, 2007 at 5PM 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 2007 and 2008 operating results. Factors which could impact future results include the uncertainties associated with governmental regulations, general economic and other market conditions, accounting estimates and the risk factors set forth in the Company's SEC filings, including its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. 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 commercial payor plans, * possible reductions in private and government payment rates, * changes in pharmaceutical or anemia management 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 resolution of various investigations by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Missouri, the Office of the Inspector General's Office in Houston, Texas, and DVA Renal Healthcare's compliance with its corporate integrity agreement, * our ability to complete and integrate acquisitions of businesses, and * the successful integration of DVA Renal Healthcare's billing and collection operations.
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.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA -- continued (unaudited) (dollars in thousands) Note 1: Calculation of the Leverage Ratio
Under the Company's current 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 the routine acquisitions that occurred during the period. 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.
Rolling 12-months ended June 30, 2007 Income from continuing operations $368,826 Income taxes 238,760 Debt expense including the write-off of deferred financing costs 269,412 Depreciation and amortization 182,535 Minority interests and equity income, net 42,896 Valuation gain on Product Supply Agreement (93,243) Other (2,650) Stock-based compensation expense 31,261 "Consolidated EBITDA" $1,037,797 June 30, 2007 Total debt, excluding debt premium of $5 million $3,703,127 Letters of credit issued 50,131 3,753,258 Less: cash and cash equivalents (396,902) Consolidated net debt $3,356,356 Last twelve months "Consolidated EBITDA" $1,037,797 Leverage ratio 3.23x In accordance with the Company's Credit Agreement, the Company's leverage ratio cannot exceed 5.75 to 1.0 as of June 30, 2007. At that date, the Company's leverage ratio did not exceed 5.75 to 1.0. RECONCILIATIONS FOR NON-GAAP MEASURES (unaudited) (dollars in thousands)
1. Income from continuing operations and net income excluding the valuation gain on the Product Supply Agreement and gains on the sale of investment securities:
We believe that income from continuing operations and net income excluding the valuation gain on the Product Supply Agreement and gains on the sale of investment securities enhances a user's understanding of our normal income from continuing operations and net income for these periods by providing a measure that is more meaningful because it excludes a non- recurring non-cash item that resulted from the termination of our purchase obligation for dialysis machines from Gambro Renal Products Inc. under the Amended Product Supply Agreement and non-recurring gains on the sale of investment securities and accordingly is more comparable to prior periods and indicative of consistent income from continuing operations and net income. 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 income from continuing operations and net income.

2. Operating income excluding the pre-tax valuation gain on the Product Supply Agreement:
We believe that operating income excluding the valuation gain on the Product Supply Agreement enhances a user's understanding of our normal operating income for these periods by providing a measure that is more meaningful because it excludes a non-recurring non-cash item that resulted from the termination of our purchase obligation for dialysis machines from Gambro Renal Products Inc. under the Amended Product Supply Agreement and accordingly is more comparable to prior periods and indicative of consistent operating income items. 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 operating income.

3. Operating cash flow, excluding the income tax payment on divested centers:
We believe that operating cash flow excluding the 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 excludes non-recurring transactions that can cause unusual fluctuations in our operating cash flows and accordingly is more comparable to prior periods and indicative of consistent operating cash flow items. 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 12-Month Period June 30, March 31, June 30, 2007 2007 2006 Cash provided by operating activities $500,977 $631,166 $500,479 Income tax payment on divested centers -- -- 85,328 $500,977 $631,166 $585,807
4. Free cash flow and free cash flow, excluding the income tax payment on divested centers:
Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures for routine maintenance and information technology. We believe free cash flow and free cash flow excluding the income tax payment on divested centers are useful adjuncts to cash flow from operating activities and other measurements under United States generally accepted accounting principles, since free cash flow is a meaningful measure of our ability to fund acquisition and development activities and meet our debt service requirements and because free cash flow excluding the income tax payment on divested centers excludes a non-recurring transaction that can cause unusual fluctuations in our free cash flows and accordingly is more comparable to prior periods and indicative of consistent free cash items. Free cash flow and free cash flow excluding the income tax payment on divested centers are not measures 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.
