DENVER, Feb. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. (NYSE: DVA) today announced results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2013. Income for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 and adjusted income for the year ended December 31, 2013 from continuing operations attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. was $212.3 million and $817.6 million, or $0.99 per share and $3.81 per share, respectively.

Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 was $173.8 million and $612.6 million, or $0.84 per share and $3.13 per share, respectively, excluding transaction expenses associated with the acquisition of HCP, debt refinancing charges and a legal settlement and related expenses. Income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 including these items was $156.3 million and $536.2 million, or $0.76 per share and $2.74 per share, respectively.

Financial and operating highlights include:

    --  Cash Flow: For year ended December 31, 2013, operating cash flow was
        $1.773 billion and free cash flow was $1.366 billion. Our operating cash
        flow for the year ended December 31, 2013 benefited from growth in
        earnings, primarily from a full year of operations of HCP and the timing
        of income tax payments. For the three months ended December 31, 2013,
        operating cash flow was $354 million and free cash flow was $205
        million. For a definition of free cash flow see Note 4 to the
        reconciliations of non-GAAP measures.






    --  Operating / Adjusted Operating Income: Operating income for the quarter
        ended December 31, 2013 and adjusted operating income for the year ended
        December 31, 2013 was $484 million and $1.898 billion, respectively.
        Adjusted operating income for the year ended December 31, 2013 excluded
        a loss contingency reserve, a contingent earn-out obligation adjustment
        and an adjustment to reduce a tax asset associated with the HCP
        acquisition escrow provisions. Operating income for the year ended
        December 31, 2013 including these items was $1.550 billion.Operating
        income for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 included approximately
        $8.5 million of dialysis center level impairments and the write-off of
        certain other assets, primarily due to the 2014 and 2015 reductions in
        Medicare's ESRD payment rates for drug utilization that was mandated by
        the American Taxpayer Relief Act, which led to a decrease in the
        assessment of the estimated fair value of certain dialysis
        centers.Adjusted operating income for the quarter and year ended
        December 31, 2012 was $408 million and $1.414 billion, respectively,
        excluding transaction expenses associated with the acquisition of HCP
        and a legal settlement and related expenses. Operating income for the
        quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 including these items was $388
        million and $1.297 billion, respectively.




    --  Volume: Total U.S. dialysis treatments for the fourth quarter of 2013
        were 6,106,166, or 76,711 treatments per day, representing a per day
        increase of 6.3% over the fourth quarter of 2012. Non-acquired treatment
        growth in the quarter was 4.7% over the fourth quarter of 2012.
        Normalized non-acquired treatment growth in the quarter was 5.2% over
        the fourth quarter of 2012.The number of member months for which HCP
        provided capitated care during the fourth quarter of 2013 was
        approximately 2.3 million representing an increase of 8.1% as compared
        to the fourth quarter of 2012, inclusive of growth contributed from
        acquisitions. These calculations include data prior to our merger with
        HCP on November 1, 2012.




    --  Effective Tax Rate: Our effective tax rate was 35.7% and 33.9% for the
        quarter and year ended December 31, 2013, respectively. 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 39.0% and 38.0% for
        the quarter and year ended December 31, 2013, respectively. The adjusted
        effective tax rate attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. for
        the year ended December 31, 2013, excluding a contingent earn-out
        obligation adjustment, a loss contingency reserve and an income tax
        adjustment related to the reduction in a tax asset associated with the
        HCP acquisition escrow provisions, was 39.4%. We expect our 2014
        effective tax rate attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. to be
        in the range of 40.0% to 41.0%.


    --  Loss Contingency Reserve:  We have agreed to a framework for a global
        resolution with government officials for both the 2010 and the 2011 U.S.
        Attorney Physician Relationship Investigations.  The final settlement
        remains subject to negotiation of specific terms and we anticipate it
        will be finalized in the coming months.  The settlement will include the
        payment of approximately $389 million, an amount previously announced
        and reserved, entry into a corporate integrity agreement (which is
        standard in these types of settlements), the appointment of an
        independent compliance monitor, and the imposition of certain other
        business restrictions related to a subset of our joint venture
        arrangements. We have agreed to unwind a limited subset of joint
        ventures that were created through partial divestiture to nephrologists,
        and agreed not to enter into this type of partial divestiture joint
        venture with nephrologists in the future. Our updated guidance
        incorporates the estimated impact of the settlement.
    --  Center Activity: As of December 31, 2013, we provided dialysis services
        to a total of approximately 168,000 patients at 2,147 outpatient
        dialysis centers, of which 2,074 centers are located in the United
        States and 73 centers are located in ten countries outside of the United
        States. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we acquired 5 dialysis
        centers and opened a total of 28 dialysis centers in the United States.
        We also acquired 8 dialysis centers outside of the United States.

Outlook

    --  We are updating our consolidated operating income guidance for 2014 to
        now be in the range of $1.725 billion to $1.860 billion. Our previous
        consolidated operating income guidance for 2014 was in the range of
        $1.675 billion to $1.850 billion.
    --  We are also updating our operating income guidance for our dialysis
        services and related ancillary businesses including our corporate level
        expenses, commonly referred to as Kidney Care, for 2014 to now be in the
        range of $1.475 billion to $1.550 billion. Our previous operating income
        guidance for Kidney Care for 2014 was in the range of $1.425 billion to
        $1.540 billion.
    --  We also expect our operating income for HCP for 2014 to be in the range
        of $250 million to $310 million.
    --  We expect our consolidated operating cash flow for 2014 to be in the
        range of $1.450 billion to $1.550 billion.

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. Our consolidated operating cash flow amounts for 2014 exclude any potential payment of the loss contingency reserve.

We will be holding a conference call to discuss our results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013 on February 11, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The dial in number for the U.S. is (800) 399-4406 and for international is (937) 528-2121. 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 within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements related to our guidance and expectations for our 2014 consolidated operating income, our 2014 dialysis services and related ancillary businesses operating income, HCP's 2014 operating income, our 2014 operating cash flows and our 2014 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, 2012, our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, our subsequent quarterly reports to be filed on Form 10-Q, or 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 health care reform legislation that was enacted in the
        United States in March 2010,
    --  the impact of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) 2014
        Medicare Advantage benchmark structure,
    --  the impact of the American Taxpayer Relief Act,
    --  the impact of disruptions in federal government operations and funding,
    --  changes in pharmaceutical or anemia management practice patterns,
        payment policies, or pharmaceutical pricing,
    --  legal compliance risks, including our continued compliance with complex
        government regulations and current or potential investigations by
        various government entities and related government or private-party
        proceedings, including risks relating to the resolution of the 2010 and
        2011 U.S. Attorney Physician Relationship Investigations such as
        restrictions on our business and operations required by a corporate
        integrity agreement and other settlement terms, and the financial impact
        thereof,
    --  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,
    --  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 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,
    --  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 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.

            exclude $17.7 million, $18.6

            discounts associated with

            Loan B-2.


    (4)     The Term Loan B and Term Loan
            B-2 are subject to LIBOR
            floors of 1.50% and 1.00%,
            respectively. Because actual
            LIBOR, for all periods
            presented above, was lower
            than either of these
            embedded LIBOR floors, the
            interest rates on the Term
            Loan B and the Term Loan B-
            2 are set at their
            respective floors. At such
            time as the actual LIBOR-
            based variable component of
            our interest rate exceeds
            1.50% on the Term Loan B and
            1.00% on the Term Loan B-2,
            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, as well as for
            the Term Loan B-2. However,
            we are limited to a maximum
            rate of 2.50% on $1.25
            billion of outstanding
            principal debt on the Term
            Loan B and $1.49 billion of
            outstanding principal debt
            on the Term Loan B-2 as a
            result of interest rate cap
            agreements. The remaining
            $448 million outstanding
            principal balance of the
            Term Loan B is subject to
            LIBOR-based interest rate
            volatility above a floor of
            1.50%. The remaining $149
            million outstanding
            principal balance of the
            Term Loan B-2 is subject to
            LIBOR-based interest rate
            volatility above a floor of
            1.00%.

    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

    We believe that income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. excluding a loss contingency reserve, a contingent earn-out obligation
     adjustment, transaction expenses associated with the acquisition of HCP, debt refinancing charges and a legal settlement and related expenses, which are all net of related tax,
     enhances a user's understanding of our normal income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. and diluted income from continuing operations per
     share attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. for these periods by providing a measure that is meaningful because it excludes unusual amounts that include a loss
     contingency reserve related to the 2010 and 2011 U.S. Attorney Physician Relationship Investigations, an adjustment to HCP's contingent earn-out obligation, transaction
     expenses associated with the acquisition of HCP, debt refinancing charges related to the amendment of our credit agreement and the repayment of our Term Loan A-2, a legal
     settlement and related expenses associated with a legal settlement that we reached to settle federal program claims relating to our historical Epogen practices and accordingly,
     is comparable to prior periods and indicative of consistent income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. and diluted income from continuing
     operations per share attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. These measures are not measures of financial performance under United States generally accepted accounting
     principles (GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative to income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. and diluted income from

    In addition, we have excluded amortization of intangible assets associated with acquisitions from our adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita HealthCare
     Partners Inc. and from our adjusted diluted income from continuing operations 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 remeasurement of acquired intangible assets associated with our acquisitions to fair value, and accordingly is indicative of consistent income
     from continuing operations attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. and diluted income from continuing operations per share attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc.
     These measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita
     HealthCare Partners Inc. and diluted income from continuing operations per share attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc.

    2. Operating income excluding a pre-tax loss contingency reserve, a pre-tax contingent earn-out obligation adjustment, pre-tax transaction expenses associated with the
     acquisition of HCP, a pre-tax legal settlement and related expenses and an adjustment to reduce a tax asset associated with the HCP acquisition escrow provisions.


    We believe that operating income excluding a pre-tax loss contingency reserve, a pre-tax contingent earn-out obligation adjustment, pre-tax transaction expenses associated
     with the acquisition of HCP, a pre-tax legal settlement and related expenses and an adjustment to reduce a tax asset associated with the HCP acquisition escrow provisions
     enhances a user's understanding of our normal operating income for these periods by providing a measure that is meaningful because it excludes unusual amounts that include a
     loss contingency reserve related to the 2010 and 2011 U.S. Attorney Physician Relationship Investigations, an adjustment for HCP's contingent earn-out obligation, transaction
     expenses associated with the acquisition of HCP, legal settlement and related expenses to settle federal program claims relating to our historical Epogen practices and an
     adjustment to reduce a tax asset associated with the HCP acquisition escrow provisions that was established as a receivable to offset any potential tax liabilities, and
     accordingly, is comparable to prior periods and indicative of consistent operating income. This measure is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be
     considered as an alternative to operating income.

    3. Effective Income Tax Rates


    We believe that reporting the effective income tax rate attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. as well
     as the adjusted effective income tax rate attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc., excluding a loss
     contingency reserve, a contingent earn-out obligation adjustment and an adjustment to reduce a tax asset
     associated with the HCP acquisition escrow provisions, enhances an investor's understanding of DaVita
     HealthCare Partners Inc.'s effective income tax rate and DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc.'s adjusted effective
     income tax rate for the periods presented because it excludes noncontrolling owners' income that primarily
     relates to non-tax paying entities, unusual amounts that include a loss contingency reserve related to the
     2010 and 2011 U.S. Attorney Physician Relationship Investigations, a contingent earn-out obligation adjustment
     and an income tax adjustment which is offset by a corresponding reduction in a tax asset associated with the
     HCP acquisition escrow provisions that was established as a receivable to offset any potential tax liabilities,
     and is meaningful to an investor to fully understand the related income tax effects on DaVita HealthCare


    Effective income tax rate as compared to the effective income tax rate attributable to DaVita HealthCare
     Partners Inc. is as follows:

    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 agreement with hospitals, HCP does not assume the direct financial risk for
     institutional (hospital) services, 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 those cases, 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 Per Member Per Month (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

DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. 4th Quarter 2013 Results

PR Newswire

DENVER, Feb. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. (NYSE: DVA) today announced results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2013. Income for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 and adjusted income for the year ended December 31, 2013 from continuing operations attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. was $212.3 million and $817.6 million, or $0.99 per share and $3.81 per share, respectively. Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2013 excluded a loss contingency reserve and a contingent earn-out obligation adjustment. Income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2013 including these items was $620.2 million, or $2.89 per share.

Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 was $173.8 million and $612.6 million, or $0.84 per share and $3.13 per share, respectively, excluding transaction expenses associated with the acquisition of HCP, debt refinancing charges and a legal settlement and related expenses. Income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 including these items was $156.3 million and $536.2 million, or $0.76 per share and $2.74 per share, respectively.

Financial and operating highlights include:

  • Cash Flow: For year ended December 31, 2013, operating cash flow was $1.773 billion and free cash flow was $1.366 billion. Our operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2013 benefited from growth in earnings, primarily from a full year of operations of HCP and the timing of income tax payments. For the three months ended December 31, 2013, operating cash flow was $354 million and free cash flow was $205 million. For a definition of free cash flow see Note 4 to the reconciliations of non-GAAP measures.

  • Operating / Adjusted Operating Income: Operating income for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 and adjusted operating income for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $484 million and $1.898 billion, respectively. Adjusted operating income for the year ended December 31, 2013 excluded a loss contingency reserve, a contingent earn-out obligation adjustment and an adjustment to reduce a tax asset associated with the HCP acquisition escrow provisions. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2013 including these items was $1.550 billion.

    Operating income for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 included approximately $8.5 million of dialysis center level impairments and the write-off of certain other assets, primarily due to the 2014 and 2015 reductions in Medicare's ESRD payment rates for drug utilization that was mandated by the American Taxpayer Relief Act, which led to a decrease in the assessment of the estimated fair value of certain dialysis centers.

    Adjusted operating income for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 was $408 million and $1.414 billion, respectively, excluding transaction expenses associated with the acquisition of HCP and a legal settlement and related expenses. Operating income for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 including these items was $388 million and $1.297 billion, respectively.

  • Volume: Total U.S. dialysis treatments for the fourth quarter of 2013 were 6,106,166, or 76,711 treatments per day, representing a per day increase of 6.3% over the fourth quarter of 2012. Non-acquired treatment growth in the quarter was 4.7% over the fourth quarter of 2012. Normalized non-acquired treatment growth in the quarter was 5.2% over the fourth quarter of 2012.

    The number of member months for which HCP provided capitated care during the fourth quarter of 2013 was approximately 2.3 million representing an increase of 8.1% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2012, inclusive of growth contributed from acquisitions. These calculations include data prior to our merger with HCP on November 1, 2012.

  • Effective Tax Rate: Our effective tax rate was 35.7% and 33.9% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2013, respectively. 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 39.0% and 38.0% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2013, respectively. The adjusted effective tax rate attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2013, excluding a contingent earn-out obligation adjustment, a loss contingency reserve and an income tax adjustment related to the reduction in a tax asset associated with the HCP acquisition escrow provisions, was 39.4%.

    We expect our 2014 effective tax rate attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. to be in the range of 40.0% to 41.0%.

  • Loss Contingency Reserve:  We have agreed to a framework for a global resolution with government officials for both the 2010 and the 2011 U.S. Attorney Physician Relationship Investigations.  The final settlement remains subject to negotiation of specific terms and we anticipate it will be finalized in the coming months.  The settlement will include the payment of approximately $389 million, an amount previously announced and reserved, entry into a corporate integrity agreement (which is standard in these types of settlements), the appointment of an independent compliance monitor, and the imposition of certain other business restrictions related to a subset of our joint venture arrangements. We have agreed to unwind a limited subset of joint ventures that were created through partial divestiture to nephrologists, and agreed not to enter into this type of partial divestiture joint venture with nephrologists in the future. Our updated guidance incorporates the estimated impact of the settlement.

  • Center Activity: As of December 31, 2013, we provided dialysis services to a total of approximately 168,000 patients at 2,147 outpatient dialysis centers, of which 2,074 centers are located in the United States and 73 centers are located in ten countries outside of the United States. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we acquired 5 dialysis centers and opened a total of 28 dialysis centers in the United States. We also acquired 8 dialysis centers outside of the United States.

Outlook

  • We are updating our consolidated operating income guidance for 2014 to now be in the range of $1.725 billion to $1.860 billion. Our previous consolidated operating income guidance for 2014 was in the range of $1.675 billion to $1.850 billion.
  • We are also updating our operating income guidance for our dialysis services and related ancillary businesses including our corporate level expenses, commonly referred to as Kidney Care, for 2014 to now be in the range of $1.475 billion to $1.550 billion. Our previous operating income guidance for Kidney Care for 2014 was in the range of $1.425 billion to $1.540 billion.
  • We also expect our operating income for HCP for 2014 to be in the range of $250 million to $310 million.
  • We expect our consolidated operating cash flow for 2014 to be in the range of $1.450 billion to $1.550 billion.

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. Our consolidated operating cash flow amounts for 2014 exclude any potential payment of the loss contingency reserve.

We will be holding a conference call to discuss our results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013 on February 11, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The dial in number for the U.S. is (800) 399-4406 and for international is (937) 528-2121. 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 within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements related to our guidance and expectations for our 2014 consolidated operating income, our 2014 dialysis services and related ancillary businesses operating income, HCP's 2014 operating income, our 2014 operating cash flows and our 2014 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, 2012, our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, our subsequent quarterly reports to be filed on Form 10-Q, or 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 health care reform legislation that was enacted in the United States in March 2010,
  • the impact of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) 2014 Medicare Advantage benchmark structure,
  • the impact of the American Taxpayer Relief Act,
  • the impact of disruptions in federal government operations and funding,
  • changes in pharmaceutical or anemia management practice patterns, payment policies, or pharmaceutical pricing,
  • legal compliance risks, including our continued compliance with complex government regulations and current or potential investigations by various government entities and related government or private-party proceedings, including risks relating to the resolution of the 2010 and 2011 U.S. Attorney Physician Relationship Investigations such as restrictions on our business and operations required by a corporate integrity agreement and other settlement terms, and the financial impact thereof,
  • 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,
  • 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 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,
  • 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 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.

Consolidated percentages of revenues are comprised of the dialysis and related lab services business, HCP's business and other ancillary services and strategic initiatives, and in case of general and administrative expenses, includes other certain corporate support and related long-term incentive compensation, transaction expenses associated with the acquisition of HCP and an adjustment to reduce a tax asset associated with the HCP acquisition escrow provisions.

The reported balance sheet amounts at December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, exclude $17.7 million, $18.6 million and $21.5 million, respectively, of debt discounts associated with our Term Loan B and Term Loan B-2.



(4)

The Term Loan B and Term Loan B-2 are subject to LIBOR floors of 1.50% and 1.00%, respectively. Because actual LIBOR, for all periods presented above, was lower than either of these embedded LIBOR floors, the interest rates on the Term Loan B and the Term Loan B-2 are set at their respective floors. At such time as the actual LIBOR-based variable component of our interest rate exceeds 1.50% on the Term Loan B and 1.00% on the Term Loan B-2, 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, as well as for the Term Loan B-2. However, we are limited to a maximum rate of 2.50% on $1.25 billion of outstanding principal debt on the Term Loan B and $1.49 billion of outstanding principal debt on the Term Loan B-2 as a result of interest rate cap agreements. The remaining $448 million outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan B is subject to LIBOR-based interest rate volatility above a floor of 1.50%. The remaining $149 million outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan B-2 is subject to LIBOR-based interest rate volatility above a floor of 1.00%.

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.

Income from continuing operations and diluted income from continuing operations per share attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. excluding a loss contingency reserve, a contingent earn-out obligation adjustment, transaction expenses associated with the acquisition of HCP, debt refinancing charges and a legal settlement and related expenses, which are all net of related tax


We believe that income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. excluding a loss contingency reserve, a contingent earn-out obligation adjustment, transaction expenses associated with the acquisition of HCP, debt refinancing charges and a legal settlement and related expenses, which are all net of related tax, enhances a user's understanding of our normal income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. and diluted income from continuing operations per share attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. for these periods by providing a measure that is meaningful because it excludes unusual amounts that include a loss contingency reserve related to the 2010 and 2011 U.S. Attorney Physician Relationship Investigations, an adjustment to HCP's contingent earn-out obligation, transaction expenses associated with the acquisition of HCP, debt refinancing charges related to the amendment of our credit agreement and the repayment of our Term Loan A-2, a legal settlement and related expenses associated with a legal settlement that we reached to settle federal program claims relating to our historical Epogen practices and accordingly, is comparable to prior periods and indicative of consistent income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. and diluted income from continuing operations per share attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc.

2. Operating income excluding a pre-tax loss contingency reserve, a pre-tax contingent earn-out obligation adjustment, pre-tax transaction expenses associated with the acquisition of HCP, a pre-tax legal settlement and related expenses and an adjustment to reduce a tax asset associated with the HCP acquisition escrow provisions.


We believe that operating income excluding a pre-tax loss contingency reserve, a pre-tax contingent earn-out obligation adjustment, pre-tax transaction expenses associated with the acquisition of HCP, a pre-tax legal settlement and related expenses and an adjustment to reduce a tax asset associated with the HCP acquisition escrow provisions enhances a user's understanding of our normal operating income for these periods by providing a measure that is meaningful because it excludes unusual amounts that include a loss contingency reserve related to the 2010 and 2011 U.S. Attorney Physician Relationship Investigations, an adjustment for HCP's contingent earn-out obligation, transaction expenses associated with the acquisition of HCP, legal settlement and related expenses to settle federal program claims relating to our historical Epogen practices and an adjustment to reduce a tax asset associated with the HCP acquisition escrow provisions that was established as a receivable to offset any potential tax liabilities, and accordingly, is comparable to prior periods and indicative of consistent operating income. This measure is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income.


Operating income excluding a pre-tax loss contingency reserve, a pre-tax contingent earn-out obligation adjustment, pre-tax transaction expenses associated with the acquisition of HCP, a pre-tax legal settlement and related expenses and an adjustment to reduce a tax asset associated with the HCP acquisition escrow provisions:

3. Effective Income Tax Rates


We believe that reporting the effective income tax rate attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. as well as the adjusted effective income tax rate attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc., excluding a loss contingency reserve, a contingent earn-out obligation adjustment and an adjustment to reduce a tax asset associated with the HCP acquisition escrow provisions, enhances an investor's understanding of DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc.'s effective income tax rate and DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc.'s adjusted effective income tax rate for the periods presented because it excludes noncontrolling owners' income that primarily relates to non-tax paying entities, unusual amounts that include a loss contingency reserve related to the 2010 and 2011 U.S. Attorney Physician Relationship Investigations, a contingent earn-out obligation adjustment and an income tax adjustment which is offset by a corresponding reduction in a tax asset associated with the HCP acquisition escrow provisions that was established as a receivable to offset any potential tax liabilities, and is meaningful to an investor to fully understand the related income tax effects on DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc.'s operating results. These are not measures under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the effective income tax rate calculated in accordance with GAAP.


Effective income tax rate as compared to the effective income tax rate attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. is as follows:

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 agreement with hospitals, HCP does not assume the direct financial risk for institutional (hospital) services, 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 those cases, 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 Per Member Per Month (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 to 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. "Total care dollars under management" is a non-GAAP measure.
