        Attorney Physician Relationship Investigations during the fourth quarter
        of 2014.

    --  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

        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 5/8% 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.

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.

                     these non-GAAP financial measures
                     to their most comparable measure
                     calculated and presented in

                     are comprised of the dialysis and
                     related lab services business,
                     HCP's business and other ancillary
                     services and strategic initiatives.
                     General and administrative expenses
                     includes certain corporate support
                     and related long-term incentive
                     compensation.


             (3)    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.

    We believe that adjusted net income
     attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners
     Inc. excluding an accrual of an estimated loss
     contingency, net of related tax, enhances a
     user's understanding of our normal net income
     attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners
     Inc. and adjusted diluted net income per share
     attributable to DaVita HealthCare Partners
     Inc. for these periods by providing a measure
     that is meaningful because it excludes an
     unusual amount that was accrued for an
     estimated loss contingency related to the
     Vainer Private Civil Suit, and accordingly, is
     comparable to prior periods and indicative of

     HealthCare Partners Inc. These measures are

    2.   Operating income excluding a pre-tax
     accrual of an estimated loss contingency


    We believe that operating income excluding a
     pre-tax accrual of an estimated loss
     contingency enhances a user's understanding of
     our normal operating income for these periods
     by providing a measure that is meaningful
     because it excludes an unusual amount that was
     accrued for an estimated loss contingency
     related to the Vainer Private Civil Suit 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 an
     estimated loss contingency, 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 and unusual amounts that
     include an estimated loss contingency related
     to the Vainer Private Civil Suit, and,
     therefore, 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.

         RECONCILIATIONS FOR NON-GAAP MEASURES

                      (unaudited)

                 (dollars in thousands)


    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.
