There are significant uncertainties associated with estimating revenue, many of which take several years to resolve. These estimates are subject to ongoing insurance coverage changes, geographic coverage differences, differing interpretations of contract coverage and other payor issues, as well as patient issues, including determination of applicable primary and secondary coverage, changes in patient insurance coverage and coordination of benefits. As these estimates are refined over time, both positive and negative adjustments to revenue are recognized in the current period.

Dialysis patient service revenues. Revenues are recognized based on the Company’s estimate of the transaction price the Company expects to collect as a result of satisfying its performance obligations. Dialysis patient service revenues are recognized in the period services are provided based on these estimates. Revenues consist primarily of payments from government and commercial health plans for dialysis services provided to patients. The Company maintains a usual and customary fee schedule for its dialysis treatments and related lab services; however, actual collectible revenue is normally recognized at a discount from the fee schedule.

Other revenues. Other revenues consist of revenues earned by the Company's non-dialysis ancillary services as well as fees for management and administrative services to outpatient dialysis businesses that the Company does not consolidate. Other revenues are estimated in the period services are provided. The Company's integrated kidney care (IKC) revenues include revenues earned under risk-based arrangements, including value-based care (VBC) arrangements. Under its VBC arrangements, the Company assumes full or shared financial risk for the total medical cost of care for patients below or above a benchmark. The benchmarks against which the Company incurs profit or loss on these contracts are typically based on the underlying premiums paid to the insuring entity (the Company's counterparty), with adjustments where applicable, or on trended or adjusted medical cost targets.

3. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Weighted average common shares outstanding include restricted stock unit awards that are no longer subject to forfeiture because the recipients have satisfied either the explicit vesting terms or retirement eligibility requirements.

Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of outstanding stock-settled stock appreciation rights and unvested stock units as computed under the treasury stock method.

	$	20,426	$	38,063	$	58,489	$	82,879	$	39,143	$	122,022

Debt securities. The Company's short-term debt investments are principally bank certificates of deposit with contractual maturities longer than three months but shorter than one year. The Company's long-term debt investments are bank time deposits with contractual maturities longer than one year. These debt securities are accounted for as held-to-maturity and recorded at amortized cost, which approximated their fair values at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Equity securities. The Company holds certain equity investments that have readily determinable fair values from public markets. The Company's remaining short-term and long-term equity investments are held within a trust to fund existing obligations associated with the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plans.

Accumulated impairment charges	—		(121,215)		(121,215)
	$	6,416,825	$	689,417	$	7,106,242

The Company did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

The Company's operations continue to be impacted by the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. While the Company does not currently expect a material adverse impact to its business as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there can be no assurance that the magnitude of the cumulative impacts of the pandemic, including certain conditions and developments in the U.S. and global economies, labor market conditions, inflation and monetary policies that may have been intensified by the pandemic, will not have a material adverse impact on one or more of the Company's businesses.

Developments, events, changes in operating performance and other changes in key circumstances since the dates of the Company’s last annual goodwill impairment assessments have not caused management to believe it is more likely than not that the fair values of any of the Company's reporting units would be less than their respective carrying amounts as of June 30, 2023. Except for the Company's Germany kidney care reporting unit as described further in Note 10 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 10-K, none of the Company's various other reporting units were considered at risk of significant goodwill impairment as of June 30, 2023.

6. Equity method and other investments

The Company maintains equity method and other minor investments in the private securities of certain other healthcare and healthcare-related businesses, comprised as follows:


	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Mozarc Medical Holdings LLC	$	359,757
APAC joint venture	101,200		$	99,141
Other equity method partnerships	118,467		116,403
Adjusted cost method and other investments	13,845		15,564
	$	593,269	$	231,108

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 the Company recognized equity investment income of $15,274 and $16,187, respectively, from its equity method investments in nonconsolidated dialysis partnerships. The Company also recognized equity investment losses from other equity method investments of $15,568 and $1,538 in other (loss) income during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

On May 25, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with Medtronic, Inc. and one of its subsidiaries (collectively, Medtronic) to form a new, independent kidney care-focused medical device company (Mozarc Medical Holding

(dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)

LLC, or Mozarc) via a deconsolidating partial interest sale from Medtronic to the Company, which closed effective April 1, 2023. The Company holds a 50% voting equity interest in Mozarc and Medtronic holds the other 50% voting equity interest. The Company does not maintain a controlling financial interest in Mozarc and therefore accounts for this investment on the equity method, with equity method income or loss recognized in Other income (loss), net, on a one-month lag.

At the closing, the Company made an estimated purchase price payment, including certain transaction cost adjustments, to Medtronic of $44,651, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments, and contributed certain other non-cash assets to Mozarc with an estimated value of $14,000. In addition, the Company agreed to pay Medtronic additional consideration of up to $300,000 if certain regulatory, commercial and financial milestones are achieved between 2024 and 2028. At close, the Company and Medtronic also each contributed an additional $224,415 in cash to Mozarc to fund its development initiatives.

The Company’s investment in Mozarc was recorded at an initial estimate of $371,026, which represents the sum of the cash amounts paid and contributed for the Company’s investment in Mozarc, the estimated fair value of the non-cash assets contributed, the estimated fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration payable to Medtronic for its interest in Mozarc of $86,300, and direct costs incurred to complete this transaction. The foregoing estimates are based upon the best information available to management but remain subject to change based on finalization of post-closing purchase price adjustments yet to be completed between the parties and finalization of related third-party valuation reports. As of June 30, 2023, the book value of the Company's contingent consideration payable to Medtronic approximates its estimated fair value.

The recorded value of the Company's equity method investment in Mozarc, and its prospective equity method income (or loss) from that investment, remain subject to finalization of fair value estimates for the following based on third-party valuation reports: the Company's non-cash assets contributed to Mozarc, the Company's contingent consideration payable to Medtronic, and valuation of Mozarc's underlying net assets, including its intangible assets, fixed assets, leases and certain working capital items, some of which are pending final quantification for certain post-closing purchase price adjustments.

See Note 9 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 10-K for further description of the Company's other equity method investments.

7. Long-term debt

(2)Outstanding Term Loan A-1 and the new Revolving line of credit balances are due on April 28, 2028, unless any of Term Loan B-1 remains outstanding 91 days prior to the Term Loan B-1 maturity date, in which case the outstanding Term Loan A-1 and the new Revolving line of credit balances become due at that 91 day date (May 13, 2026).

(3)At March 31, 2023, the interest rate on the Company's then-existing credit facilities was LIBOR plus an interest rate margin in effect of 1.75% for the prior Term Loan A and prior revolving line of credit.

(4)The interest rate presented for acquisition obligations and other notes payable is their weighted average interest rate based on the current fixed and variable interest rate components in effect as of June 30, 2023.

(5)Financing lease obligations are measured at their approximate present values at inception. The interest rate presented is the weighted average discount rate embedded in financing leases outstanding.

(6)As of June 30, 2023, the carrying amount of the Company's senior secured credit facilities have been reduced by a discount of $2,961 and deferred financing costs of $36,819, and the carrying amount of the Company's senior notes have been reduced by deferred financing costs of $33,847 and increased by a debt premium of $13,074. As of December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of the Company's senior secured credit facilities were reduced by a discount of $3,497 and deferred financing costs of $18,816, and the carrying amount of the Company's senior notes were reduced by deferred financing costs of $36,203 and increased by a debt premium of $14,018.

Scheduled maturities of long-term debt at June 30, 2023 were as follows:


2023 (remainder of the year)	$	52,244
2024	$	115,626
2025	$	129,805
2026	$	2,660,615
2027	$	113,373
2028	$	1,298,981
Thereafter	$	4,389,184

On April 3, 2023, the Company entered into the Second Amendment (the Second Amendment) to its senior secured credit agreement (the Credit Agreement). The Second Amendment modifies the Credit Agreement to, among other things, transition the interest pricing on Term Loan B-1 from LIBOR + 1.75% to a forward-looking term rate (Term SOFR) based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) + 1.75% plus an additional credit spread adjustment (CSA), provided that this adjusted rate shall never be less than 0.00%, as well as to update the successor interest rate provisions in the Credit Agreement with respect to Term Loan B-1. As of June 30, 2023, the CSA for all tranches outstanding on the Company's Term Loan B-1 was 0.11%. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04 and ASU No. 2022-06 regarding reference rate reform during the second quarter and applied one of their practical expedients to treat the amendment of Term Loan B-1 as a non-substantial modification.

On April 28, 2023 (Third Amendment Effective Date), the Company entered into the Third Amendment (the Third Amendment, and together with the Second Amendment, the Amendments) to the Credit Agreement. The Third Amendment modifies the Credit Agreement to, among other things, refinance its Term Loan A and revolving line of credit with a secured Term Loan A-1 facility in the aggregate principal amount of $1,250,000 and a secured revolving line of credit in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,500,000 (the foregoing referred to as the new Term Loan A-1 and new revolving line of credit, respectively).

The new Term Loan A-1 and new revolving line of credit initially bear interest at Term SOFR, plus a CSA of 0.10% and an interest rate margin of 2.00%, which is subject to adjustment depending upon the Company's leverage ratio under the Credit Agreement, as amended, and which can range from 1.25% to 2.25%, provided that this adjusted rate shall never be less than 0.0%. The new Term Loan A-1 requires amortizing quarterly principal payments beginning on September 30, 2023 of $7,813 per quarter for the first four payments, $15,625 per quarter for the fifth through sixteenth payments, $23,438 per quarter for the seventeenth through nineteenth payments, with the balance due on April 28, 2028. The new revolving line of credit has a five-year term. However, under the Third Amendment, Term Loan A-1 and the new revolving line of credit become due if any of Term Loan B-1 remains outstanding 91 days prior to the Term Loan B-1 maturity date, in which case the Term Loan A-1 balance and any outstanding balance on the new revolving line of credit become due at that 91 day date (May 13, 2026).

Borrowings under the Company's senior secured credit facilities are guaranteed and secured by substantially all of DaVita Inc.'s and certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries' assets and rank senior to all unsecured indebtedness. Borrowings under the new Term Loan A-1, Term Loan B-1 and new revolving line of credit rank equal in priority for that security and related subsidiary guarantees under the facility's terms. The Credit Agreement, as amended, contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants such as various restrictions or limitations on permitted amounts of investments (including acquisitions), share repurchases, payment of dividends, and redemptions and incurrence of other indebtedness. Many of these restrictions and limitations will not apply as long as the Company’s leverage ratio calculated in accordance with the Amendments is below 4.00:1.00. In addition, the Amendments require compliance with a maximum leverage ratio covenant, tested quarterly, of 5.00:1.00 through June 30, 2026 and 4.50:1.00 thereafter.

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the new Term Loan A-1 and initial borrowing of $400,000 on the new revolving line of credit to pay off the remaining principal balance outstanding and accrued interest and fees on its prior Term Loan A and prior revolving line of credit in the amount of $1,602,199. The remaining borrowings added cash to the balance sheet for general corporate purposes.

In addition to the prepayments described above, during the first six months of 2023, the Company made regularly scheduled and other principal payments under its senior secured credit facilities totaling $54,011 on its prior Term Loan A and $43,330 on Term Loan B-1.

As a result of the transactions described above, the Company recognized debt prepayment and refinancing charges of $7,962 in the second quarter of 2023 comprised partially of fees incurred for this transaction and partially of deferred financing costs written off for the portion of debt considered extinguished and reborrowed as a result of the repayment of all principal balances outstanding on the Company's prior Term Loan A and prior revolving line of credit. For the portion of the debt that was considered extinguished and reborrowed, the Company recognized constructive financing cash outflows and financing cash inflows on the statement of cash flows of $434,393 and $150,000 for the Term Loan A and prior revolving line of credit, respectively, even though no funds were actually paid or received. Another $715,019 of the debt considered extinguished in this refinancing represented a non-cash financing activity.

After June 30, 2023, the Company's 2019 interest rate cap agreements described below have the economic effect of capping the Company's maximum exposure to SOFR variable interest rate changes on equivalent amounts of the Company's floating rate debt, including all of Term Loan B-1 and a portion of new Term Loan A-1. The remaining $367,501 outstanding principal balance of new Term Loan A-1 and the $285,000 balance outstanding on the revolving line of credit are subject to SOFR-based interest rate volatility. These cap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges and, as a result, changes in their fair values are reported in other comprehensive income. The original premiums paid for the caps are amortized to debt expense on a straight-line basis over the term of each cap agreement starting from its effective date. These cap agreements do not contain credit risk-contingent features.

In the second quarter of 2023 the Company entered into several forward interest rate cap agreements, described below, that have the economic effect of capping the Company's exposure to SOFR variable interest rate changes on specific portions of the Company's floating rate debt (2023 cap agreements). These 2023 cap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges and, as a result, changes in their fair values will be reported in other comprehensive income. These 2023 cap agreements have notional amounts that amortize downward over time, do not contain credit-risk contingent features, and become effective and expire as described in the table below.

Finally, during and as of the end of the second quarter, the Company transitioned the variable rate base on its senior secured credit facilities and related hedging interest rate caps from LIBOR to SOFR. This transition involved a SOFR-to-LIBOR rate mismatch between this debt and the 2019 interest rate caps for a portion of this quarter, but the Company’s interest rate hedges remained highly effective throughout the transition and thereafter.

This transition was accomplished through the Amendments to the Credit Agreement for the Company's senior secured credit facility debt and, for the Company's 2019 interest rate caps outstanding, through the the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA)'s Interbank Offered Rate (IBOR) Fallbacks Supplement and IBOR Fallbacks Protocol which were established in anticipation of the cessation of LIBOR. That ISDA protocol incorporated fallbacks for derivatives linked to LIBOR which facilitated their transition to a replacement reference rate. The Company has adhered to this ISDA protocol and as of June 30, 2023 has transitioned all of its LIBOR-based derivative exposure to SOFR.

(2)Effective January 1, 2025, the maximum rate of 4.00% decreases to 3.75% for these interest rate caps.

See Note 10 for further details on amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss and recorded as debt expense (offset) related to the Company’s interest rate cap agreements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

As a result of the variable rate cap from the Company's 2019 interest rate cap agreements, the Company’s weighted average effective interest rate on its senior secured credit facilities at the end of the second quarter of 2023 was 4.90%, based on the current margins in effect for its senior secured credit facilities as of June 30, 2023, as detailed in the table above.

The Company’s weighted average effective interest rate on all debt, including the effect of interest rate caps and amortization of debt discount, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 4.67% and 4.61% and as of June 30, 2023 was 4.66%.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s interest rates were fixed and economically fixed on approximately 52% and 92% of its total debt, respectively.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $1,215,000 available and $285,000 drawn on its $1,500,000 revolving line of credit under its senior secured credit facilities. Credit available under this revolving line of credit is reduced by the amount of any letters of credit outstanding under the facility, of which there were none as of June 30, 2023. The Company also had letters of credit of approximately $151,395 outstanding under a separate bilateral secured letter of credit facility as of June 30, 2023.

8. Commitments and contingencies

The majority of the Company’s revenues are from government programs and may be subject to adjustment as a result of: (i) examination by government agencies or contractors, for which the resolution of any matters raised may take extended periods of time to finalize; (ii) differing interpretations of government regulations by different Medicare contractors or regulatory authorities; (iii) differing opinions regarding a patient’s medical diagnosis or the medical necessity of services provided; and (iv) retroactive applications or interpretations of governmental requirements. In addition, the Company’s revenues from commercial payors may be subject to adjustment as a result of potential claims for refunds, as a result of government actions or as a result of other claims by commercial payors.

The Company operates in a highly regulated industry and is a party to various lawsuits, demands, claims, qui tam suits, governmental investigations (which frequently arise from qui tam suits) and audits (including, without limitation, investigations or other actions resulting from its obligation to self-report suspected violations of law) and other legal proceedings, including, without limitation, those described below. The Company records accruals for certain legal proceedings and regulatory matters to the extent that the Company determines an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s total recorded accruals with respect to legal proceedings and regulatory matters, net of anticipated third party recoveries, were immaterial. While these accruals reflect the Company’s best estimate of the probable loss for those matters as of the dates of those accruals, the recorded amounts may differ materially from the actual amount of the losses for those matters, and any anticipated third party recoveries for any such losses may not ultimately be recoverable. Additionally, in some cases, no estimate of the possible loss or range of loss in excess of amounts accrued, if any, can be made because of the inherently unpredictable nature of legal proceedings and regulatory

matters, which also may be impacted by various factors, including, without limitation, that they may involve indeterminate claims for monetary damages or may involve fines, penalties or non-monetary remedies; present novel legal theories or legal uncertainties; involve disputed facts; represent a shift in regulatory policy; are in the early stages of the proceedings; or may result in a change of business practices. Further, there may be various levels of judicial review available to the Company in connection with any such proceeding.

The following is a description of certain lawsuits, claims, governmental investigations and audits and other legal proceedings to which the Company is subject.

Certain Governmental Inquiries and Related Proceedings

2016 U.S. Attorney Texas Investigation: In February 2016, DaVita Rx, LLC (DaVita Rx), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, received a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Northern District of Texas. The government conducted a federal False Claims Act (FCA) investigation concerning allegations that DaVita Rx presented or caused to be presented false claims for payment to the government for prescription medications, as well as an investigation into the Company’s relationships with pharmaceutical manufacturers. After its investigation, the government and the named states declined to intervene in the matter, and on April 5, 2023, the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas, entered an order unsealing the complaint in the matter of U.S. ex rel. Grenon v. DaVita Rx, LLC et al. The complaint was not served on the Company. On May 31, 2023, the private party relator filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of all claims. On June 1, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas dismissed the matter without prejudice.

2017 U.S. Attorney Colorado Investigation: In November 2017, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Colorado informed the Company of an investigation it was conducting into possible federal healthcare offenses involving DaVita Kidney Care, as well as several of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. In addition to DaVita Kidney Care, the matter currently includes an investigation into DaVita Rx, DaVita Laboratory Services, Inc. (DaVita Labs), and RMS Lifeline Inc. (Lifeline). In each of August 2018, May 2019, and July 2021, the Company received a CID pursuant to the FCA from the U.S. Attorney's Office relating to this investigation. In May 2020, the Company sold its interest in Lifeline, but the Company retained certain liabilities of the Lifeline business, including those related to this investigation. The Company is continuing to cooperate with the government in this investigation.

2020 U.S. Attorney New Jersey Investigation: In March 2020, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of New Jersey served the Company with a subpoena and a CID relating to an investigation being conducted by that office and the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The subpoena and CID request information on several topics, including certain of the Company’s joint venture arrangements with physicians and physician groups, medical director agreements, and compliance with its five-year Corporate Integrity Agreement, the term of which expired October 22, 2019. In November 2022, the Company learned that, on April 1, 2022, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey notified the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey of its decision not to elect to intervene in the matter of U.S. ex rel. Doe v. DaVita Inc. and filed a Stipulation of Dismissal. On April 13, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey dismissed the case without prejudice. On October 12, 2022, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania notified the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, of its decision not to elect to intervene at this time in the matter of U.S. ex rel. Bayne v. DaVita Inc., et al. The court then unsealed an amended complaint, which alleges violations of federal and state False Claims Acts, by order dated October 14, 2022. In May 2023, the private party relator served the Company with a second amended complaint. On July 14, 2023, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint.

2020 California Department of Insurance Investigation: In April 2020, the California Department of Insurance (CDI) sent the Company an Investigative Subpoena relating to an investigation being conducted by that office. CDI issued a superseding subpoena in September 2020 and an additional subpoena in September 2021. Those subpoenas request information on a number of topics, including but not limited to the Company’s communications with patients about insurance plans and financial assistance from the American Kidney Fund (AKF), analyses of the potential impact of patients’ decisions to change insurance providers, and documents relating to donations or contributions to the AKF. The Company is continuing to cooperate with CDI in this investigation.

2023 District of Columbia Office of Attorney General Investigation: In January 2023, the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia issued a CID to the Company in connection with an antitrust investigation into the AKF. The CID covers the period from January 1, 2016 to the present. The CID requests information on a number of topics, including but not

limited to the Company’s communications with AKF, documents relating to donations to the AKF, and communications with patients, providers, and insurers regarding the AKF. The Company is cooperating with the government in this investigation.

* * *

Although the Company cannot predict whether or when proceedings might be initiated or when these matters may be resolved (other than as may be described above), it is not unusual for inquiries such as these to continue for a considerable period of time through the various phases of document and witness requests and ongoing discussions with regulators and to develop over the course of time. In addition to the inquiries and proceedings specifically identified above, the Company frequently is subject to other inquiries by state or federal government agencies, many of which relate to qui tam complaints filed by relators. Negative findings or terms and conditions that the Company might agree to accept as part of a negotiated resolution of pending or future government inquiries or relator proceedings could result in, among other things, substantial financial penalties or awards against the Company, substantial payments made by the Company, harm to the Company’s reputation, required changes to the Company’s business practices, an impact on the Company's various relationships and/or contracts related to the Company's business, exclusion from future participation in the Medicare, Medicaid and other federal health care programs and, if criminal proceedings were initiated against the Company, members of its board of directors or management, possible criminal penalties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Other Proceedings

2021 Antitrust Indictment and Putative Class Action Suit: On July 14, 2021, an indictment was returned by a grand jury in the U.S. District Court, District of Colorado against the Company and its former chief executive officer in the matter of U.S. v. DaVita Inc., et al. alleging that purported agreements entered into by DaVita's former chief executive officer not to solicit senior-level employees violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act. On April 15, 2022, a jury returned a verdict in the Company’s favor, acquitting both the Company and its former chief executive officer on all counts. On April 20, 2022, the court entered judgments of acquittal and closed the case. On August 9, 2021, DaVita Inc. and its former chief executive officer were added as defendants in a consolidated putative class action complaint in the matter of In re Outpatient Medical Center Employee Antitrust Litigation in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois. This class action complaint asserts that the defendants violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act and seeks to bring an action on behalf of certain groups of individuals employed by the Company between February 1, 2012 and January 5, 2021. On September 26, 2022, the court denied the Company's motion to dismiss. The Company disputes the allegations in the class action complaint, as well as the asserted violations of the Sherman Act, and intends to defend this action accordingly.

Additionally, from time to time the Company is subject to other lawsuits, demands, claims, governmental investigations and audits and legal proceedings that arise due to the nature of its business, including, without limitation, contractual disputes, such as with payors, suppliers and others, employee-related matters and professional and general liability claims. From time to time, the Company also initiates litigation or other legal proceedings as a plaintiff arising out of contracts or other matters.

* * *

Other than as may be described above, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcomes of the various legal proceedings and regulatory matters to which the Company is or may be subject from time to time, including those described in this Note 8, or the timing of their resolution or the ultimate losses or impact of developments in those matters, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenues, earnings and cash flows. Further, any legal proceedings or regulatory matters involving the Company, whether meritorious or not, are time consuming, and often require management’s attention and

result in significant legal expense, and may result in the diversion of significant operational resources, may impact the Company's various relationships and/or contracts related to the Company's business or otherwise harm the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or reputation.

* * *

Other Commitments

The Company also has certain potential commitments to provide working capital funding, if necessary, to certain nonconsolidated dialysis businesses that the Company manages and in which the Company owns a noncontrolling equity interest or which are wholly-owned by third parties of approximately $9,696.

12. Fair values of financial instruments

The Company measures the fair value of certain assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests subject to put provisions (redeemable equity interests classified as temporary equity) based upon certain valuation techniques that include observable or unobservable inputs and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing these assets, liabilities, temporary equity and commitments. The Company has also classified assets, liabilities and temporary equities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the appropriate fair value hierarchy levels as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).

The following table summarizes the Company’s assets, liabilities and temporary equities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023:


	Total		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Assets
Investments in equity securities	$	38,063	$	38,063	$	—	$	—
Interest rate cap agreements	$	134,554	$	—	$	134,554	$	—
Liabilities
Contingent earn-out obligations for acquisitions	$	23,499	$	—	$	—	$	23,499
Temporary equity
Noncontrolling interests subject to put provisions	$	1,423,549	$	—	$	—	$	1,423,549

For a reconciliation of changes in noncontrolling interests subject to put provisions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, see the consolidated statement of equity.

Investments in equity securities represent investments in various open-ended registered investment companies (mutual funds) and common stocks and are recorded at fair value estimated based on reported market prices or redemption prices, as applicable. See Note 4 for further discussion.

Interest rate cap agreements are recorded at fair value estimated from valuation models utilizing the income approach and commonly accepted valuation techniques that use inputs from closing prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as other relevant observable market inputs at quoted intervals such as current interest rates, forward yield curves, implied volatility and credit default swap pricing. The Company does not believe the ultimate amount that could be realized upon settlement of these interest rate cap agreements would be materially different from the fair value estimates currently reported. See Note 7 for further discussion.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had contingent earn-out obligations associated with business acquisitions that could result in the Company paying the former owners a total of up to approximately $55,970 if certain performance targets or quality margins are met over the next one year to five years. The estimated fair value measurements of these contingent earn-out obligations are primarily based on unobservable inputs, including key financial metrics such as projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), revenue and other key performance indicators. The estimated fair values of these contingent earn-out obligations are remeasured as of each reporting date and could fluctuate based upon any significant changes in key assumptions, such as changes in the Company's credit risk adjusted rate that is used to discount obligations to present value.

The estimated fair value of noncontrolling interests subject to put provisions is based principally on the higher of either estimated liquidation value of net assets or a multiple of earnings for each subject dialysis partnership, based on historical earnings, revenue mix, and other performance indicators that can affect future results. The multiples used for these valuations are derived from observed ownership transactions for dialysis businesses between unrelated parties in the U.S. in recent years, and the specific valuation multiple applied to each dialysis partnership is principally determined by its recent and expected revenue mix and contribution margin. As of June 30, 2023, an increase or decrease in the weighted average multiple used in these valuations of one times EBITDA would change the estimated fair value of these noncontrolling interests by approximately $180,000. See Notes 17 and 24 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 10-K

for further discussion of the Company’s methodology for estimating the fair value of noncontrolling interests subject to put obligations.

The Company's fair value estimates for its senior secured credit facilities and senior notes are based upon quoted bid and ask prices for these instruments, typically a level 2 input. See Note 7 for further discussion of the Company's debt.

Other financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, other accrued liabilities, lease liabilities and debt. The balances of financial instruments other than debt and lease liabilities are presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2023 at their approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of their settlements.

13. Segment reporting

The Company’s operating divisions are comprised of its U.S. dialysis and related lab services business (its U.S. dialysis business), its U.S. IKC business, its U.S. other ancillary services and its international operations (collectively, its ancillary services), as well as its corporate administrative support.

The Company’s separate operating segments include its U.S. dialysis and related lab services business, its U.S. IKC business, its U.S. other ancillary services, its kidney care operations in each foreign sovereign jurisdiction, and its equity method investments in each of the Asia Pacific joint venture (APAC JV) and Mozarc. The U.S. dialysis and related lab services business qualifies as a separately reportable segment, and all other operating segments have been combined and disclosed in the other segments category. See Note 25 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 10-K for further description of how the Company determines and measures results for its operating segments.

14. New accounting standards

New standards recently adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU No. 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another rate that is expected to be discontinued. The amendments in this ASU were effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company could elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extended the election date to December 31, 2024. Effective January 1, 2022 certain LIBOR tenors that do not affect the Company, including the one-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR rate, ceased or became non-representative. The remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR tenors ceased or became non-representative effective July 1, 2023. This change will have no impact on the Company's ability to borrow. The application of this ASU did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. See Note 7 for further discussion of the Company's debt.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-looking statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains statements that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws and as such are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for "forward-looking statements" provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements could include, among other things, statements about our balance sheet and liquidity, our expenses and expense offsets, revenues, billings and collections, availability or cost of supplies, treatment volumes, mix expectation, such as the percentage or number of patients under commercial insurance, DaVita's response to and the continuing impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S. and global economies, labor market conditions, and overall impact on our patients and teammates, as well as other statements regarding our future operations, financial condition and prospects, expenses, strategic initiatives, government and commercial payment rates, expectations related to value-based care, integrated kidney care and Medicare Advantage (MA) plan enrollment, and our ongoing stock repurchase program. All statements in this report, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, statements including the words "expect," "intend," "will," “could,” "plan," "anticipate," "believe" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on DaVita's current expectations and are based solely on information available as of the date of this report. DaVita undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changed circumstances, new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. Actual future events and results could differ materially from any forward-looking statements due to numerous factors that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties.

The following should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Company Overview

Our principal business is to provide dialysis and related lab services to patients in the United States, which we refer to as our U.S. dialysis business. We also operate our U.S. integrated kidney care (IKC) business, our U.S. other ancillary services, and our international operations, which we collectively refer to as our ancillary services, as well as our corporate administrative support. Our U.S. dialysis business is a leading provider of kidney dialysis services in the U.S. for patients suffering from chronic kidney failure, also known as end stage renal disease (ESRD) or end stage kidney disease (ESKD).

General Economic and Marketplace Conditions

Developments in general economic and market conditions could have a material adverse impact on our patients, teammates, physician partners, suppliers, business, operations, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and/or liquidity. Many of these external factors and conditions are interrelated, including, among other things, inflation, rising interest rates, labor market conditions, wage pressure, the continuing impact of COVID-19 on the mortality rates of our patients and other ESRD or CKD patients and supply chain challenges. Certain of these impacts could be further intensified by concurrent global events such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has continued to drive sociopolitical and economic uncertainty in Europe and across the globe.

Operational and Financial Impacts

In the second quarter of 2023, we saw a second consecutive period of quarter over quarter improvements in treatment volume due primarily to a higher patient census. These census gains were in part driven by improvements in the negative impact of COVID-19 on the mortality rates of our patients as the pandemic continues to subside. On a full year over full year basis, we continue to experience a negative impact on revenue and treatment volume due to the cumulative and compounding negative impact of the pandemic on the mortality rates of our patients and the associated adverse impact on our patient census. We expect that this impact will likely continue to negatively impact our revenue and non-acquired growth for a period of time after mortality rates normalize due to the compounding impact of mortalities, among other things. New admission rates, future revenues and non-acquired growth could also continue to be negatively impacted over time to the extent that the CKD population experiences elevated mortality levels due to the pandemic. There remains significant uncertainty as to the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our treatment volumes, in part due to, among other things, the indeterminate severity and duration of the pandemic and the complexity of factors that may drive elevated mortality rates in the ESRD and CKD patient populations, new admissions volumes and missed treatment rates over time. Depending on the ultimate severity and duration of the pandemic, the magnitude of these cumulative impacts could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Ongoing global economic conditions, such as general labor, supply chain and inflationary pressures have also increased, and will continue to increase, our expenses, including, among others, staffing and labor costs. While we continue to experience elevated levels of compensation year to date compared to the prior year primarily due to increased wage rates and headcount, we have experienced improvement in labor costs, primarily due to decreased utilization of contract labor. We expect certain of these increased staffing and labor costs to continue, including, among others, increased training costs, and the cumulative impact of these costs could be material. In addition, potential staffing shortages or disruptions, if material, could ultimately lead to the unplanned closures of certain centers or adversely impact clinical operations, and may otherwise have a material adverse impact on our ability to provide dialysis services or the cost of providing those services, among other things. In the second quarter, we also saw a continued elevated level of effort and cost needed to procure certain of our equipment and clinical supplies, including dialysis supplies.

The cost inflation trends described above have put pressure on our existing cost structure, and as noted above, we expect that certain of those increased costs will persist as inflationary and supply chain pressures and challenging labor market conditions continue. During the second quarter, we continued to implement cost savings opportunities to help mitigate these cost and volume pressures. These include, among other things, anticipated cost savings related to certain general and administrative cost efficiencies, such as ongoing initiatives that increase our use of third party service providers to perform certain activities, including, among others, finance and accounting functions as well as related information technology functions; initiatives relating to clinic optimization and initiatives for capacity utilization improvement; and procurement opportunities. We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, charges in connection with the continued implementation of certain of these initiatives, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully execute these initiatives or that they will achieve expectations or succeed in helping offset the impact of these challenging conditions. Any failure on our part to adjust our business and operations in this manner, to adjust to other marketplace developments or dynamics or to appropriately implement these initiatives in accordance with applicable legal, regulatory or compliance requirements could adversely impact our ability to provide dialysis services or the cost of providing those services, among other things, and ultimately could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We believe the ultimate impact of the aforementioned general economic and marketplace conditions, including the COVID-19 pandemic, on the Company over time will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. We expect that these conditions will continue to impact our business in 2023.

Our U.S. dialysis treatment volume is directly correlated with our operating revenues and expenses. The increase in our U.S. dialysis treatments for the second quarter of 2023 from the first quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by one additional treatment day and increased average treatments per day due to increased admits related to growth in our patient population.

The decrease in our U.S. dialysis treatments for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily driven by decreased average treatments per day and fewer patients.

Average patient service revenue per treatment	$	371.48	$	363.47	$	8.01	2.2	%

Certain columns, rows or percentages may not sum due to the presentation of rounded numbers.

U.S. dialysis average patient service revenue per treatment for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2023 increased, primarily due to normal seasonal improvements driven by patients meeting their co-insurance and deductibles, increases in average reimbursement rates due to normal annual rate increases and favorable improvements in mix including the continued shift to MA plans, as well as positive impacts from improved cash collections on previously reserved balances. Our U.S. dialysis average patient service revenue per treatment was negatively impacted by a seasonal decrease in hospital inpatient revenues.

U.S. dialysis average patient service revenue per treatment for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily driven by a net increase in the Medicare rate due to base rate increase in 2023 partially offset by the phased in increase of sequestration of 1% in April 2022 and full 2% beginning July 1, 2022 and thereafter. The increase was also impacted by the continued shift to MA plans and overall favorable mix improvements, increases in hospital inpatient dialysis revenues and other normal annual rate increases.

In June 2023, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a proposed rule to update the Medicare ESRD Prospective Payment System payment rate and policies for calendar year 2024. Among other things, the proposed rule would update the Acute Kidney Injury dialysis payment rate for renal dialysis services furnished by ESRD facilities and requirements for the ESRD Quality Incentive Program. CMS estimates that the overall impact of the proposed rule will increase ESRD facilities’ average reimbursement by 1.6% in 2024.

Charges impacting operating income

Closure costs. During the third quarter of 2022, we began a strategic review of our outpatient clinic capacity requirements and utilization, which have been impacted both by declines in our patient census in some markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as by our initiatives toward, and advances in, increasing the proportion of our home dialysis patients. This review has resulted in higher than normal charges for center capacity closures. These capacity closure costs include net losses on assets retired, lease costs, asset impairments and accelerated depreciation and amortization.

During the second quarter of 2023, we incurred charges for U.S. dialysis center closures of approximately $21.1 million, which increased our patient care costs by $5.7 million, our general and administrative expenses by $7.8 million and our depreciation and amortization expense by $7.6 million. By comparison, during the first quarter of 2023, U.S. dialysis center closures were approximately $22.2 million, which increased our patient care costs by $12.6 million, our general and administrative expenses by $4.8 million and our depreciation and amortization expense by $4.8 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, U.S. dialysis center closures were approximately $43.3 million, which increased our patient care costs by $18.3 million, our general and administrative expenses by $12.6 million and our depreciation and amortization expense by $12.4 million. By comparison, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, U.S. dialysis center closures were approximately $10.6 million, which increased our patient care costs by $8.0 million, our general and administrative expenses by $1.7 million and our depreciation and amortization expense by $0.9 million.

We will continue to optimize our U.S. dialysis center footprint through center mergers and/or closures and expect our center closure rates to remain at elevated levels over the next several quarters.

Severance costs. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we committed to a plan to increase efficiencies and cost savings in certain general and administrative support functions. As a result of this plan, we recognized expenses related to termination and other benefit commitments in our U.S. dialysis business. This plan included additional charges of $5.0 million and $16.9 million during the second and first quarter of 2023, respectively and $21.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Patient care costs. U.S. dialysis patient care costs per treatment for the second quarter of 2023 decreased from the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to seasonal decreases in payroll taxes, as well as decreased center closure costs, as described above, travel costs including management meetings, contract wages and pharmaceutical costs. In addition, our fixed other direct operating expenses positively impacted patient care costs per treatment due to increased treatments in the second quarter of 2023. Our patient costs per treatment were negatively impacted by increased medical supplies expense and professional fees.

U.S. dialysis patient care costs per treatment for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased from the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to increased compensation expenses including increased wage rates and headcount. Other drivers of the increase include increases in other direct operating expenses associated with our dialysis centers, medical supplies expense, professional fees, travel costs, including management meetings, as well as center closure costs, as described above. These increases were partially offset by decreased pharmaceutical costs, contract wages and insurance costs.

General and administrative expenses. U.S. dialysis general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2023 increased from the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to increased compensation expenses, a refund received in the first quarter of 2023 related to 2022 advocacy costs, increased professional fees, long-term incentive compensation and center closure costs, as described above. These increases were partially offset by decreased severance costs, as described above.

U.S. dialysis general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased from the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to increases in compensation expenses including increased wage rates and severance costs, as described above. Other drivers of this change include gains recognized on the sale of our self-developed properties in the second quarter of 2022, center closure costs, as described above, increased travel costs, contract wages related to the deployment of IT projects and other IT-related costs. These increases were partially offset by decreased advocacy costs, including a refund received in 2023 related to 2022 advocacy costs.

Depreciation and amortization. U.S. dialysis depreciation and amortization expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 increased compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to accelerated depreciation related to center closures, as described above, and additional depreciation related to corporate IT projects.

U.S. dialysis depreciation and amortization expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased primarily due to accelerated depreciation related to expected center closures, as described above, as well as increased depreciation related to the rollout of our new clinical system in May 2022.

Equity investment income. U.S. dialysis equity investment income increased for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2023 due to an increase in profitability at certain nonconsolidated dialysis partnerships.

U.S. dialysis equity investment income remained relatively flat for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

U.S. dialysis operating income for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2023 and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, was impacted by center closure and severance costs, as described above.

U.S. dialysis operating income and adjusted operating income for the second quarter of 2023 increased from the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to increased average patient service revenue per treatment and dialysis treatments, as described above. Operating income and adjusted operating income were also positively impacted by decreased costs related to travel, payroll taxes, pharmaceutical costs and contract wages. Operating income and adjusted operating income were negatively impacted by increased compensation expenses, professional fees, medical supplies expense, a refund received in the first quarter of 2023 related to 2022 advocacy costs and increased long-term incentive compensation expense.

U.S. dialysis operating income and adjusted operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were negatively impacted by decreased dialysis treatments, as described above. U.S. dialysis operating income and adjusted operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased from the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to increases in compensation expenses, other direct operating expenses associated with our dialysis centers, gains on sale, as described above, as well as travel costs, medical supplies expense and increased professional fees. Operating income and adjusted operating

income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were positively impacted by increases in our average patient service revenue per treatment, as described above, as well as decreases in pharmaceutical costs, advocacy costs and contract wages.

Other—Ancillary services

Our other operations include ancillary services that are primarily aligned with our core business of providing dialysis services to our network of patients. As of June 30, 2023, these consisted principally of our U.S. IKC business, certain U.S. other ancillary businesses (including our clinical research programs, transplant software business, and venture investment group), and our international operations.

These ancillary services generated revenues of approximately $292 million in the second quarter of 2023, representing approximately 10% of our consolidated revenues.

As of June 30, 2023, DaVita IKC provided integrated care and disease management services to approximately 64,000 patients in risk-based integrated care arrangements and to an additional 15,000 patients in other integrated care arrangements. We also expect to add additional service offerings to our business and pursue additional strategic initiatives in the future as circumstances warrant, which could include, among other things, healthcare services not related to dialysis.

For a discussion of the risks related to IKC and our ancillary services, see the discussion in the risk factors in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors of our 2022 10-K under the headings, "The U.S. integrated kidney care, U.S. other ancillary services and international operations that we operate or invest in now or in the future..." and "If we are not able to successfully implement our strategy with respect to our integrated kidney care and value-based care initiatives..."

As of June 30, 2023, our international dialysis operations provided dialysis and administrative services through a total of 353 outpatient dialysis centers located in 11 countries outside of the United States.

Revenues

IKC revenues for the second quarter of 2023 decreased compared to the first quarter of 2023 due to decreased revenues from our special needs plans and a net decrease in shared savings. Other U.S. ancillary revenues for the second quarter of 2023 remained flat compared to the first quarter of 2023. International revenues for the second quarter of 2023 increased compared to the first quarter of 2023 due to increased treatments primarily from one additional treatment day.

IKC revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to an increase in shared savings, partially offset by decreased revenues related to our special needs programs. Other U.S. ancillary services revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to increased revenues in our clinical research programs. Our international revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased from the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to acquisition-related growth as well as rate increases.

Charges impacting operating income - severance and other costs

During the fourth quarter of 2022, similar to U.S. dialysis, we committed to a plan to increase efficiencies and cost savings in certain general and administrative support functions and other overhead costs. As a result of this plan, we recognized expenses related to termination and other benefit commitments in our IKC business of $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2023 and for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Operating loss and adjusted operating loss

IKC operating loss and adjusted operating loss for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2023 increased due to decreased revenues, as described above, and continued investments in our integrated care support functions, partially offset by decreased medical supplies expense for our special needs plans. Other U.S. ancillary services operating loss and adjusted operating loss for the second quarter of 2023 decreased compared to the first quarter of 2023, driven by improved results in our clinical research programs. International operating income and adjusted operating income for the second quarter

of 2023 increased from the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to favorable changes in fair value of contingent consideration associated with prior acquisitions, as well as increases in equity income resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency at our APAC JV.

IKC operating loss and adjusted operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased, primarily due to continued investments in our integrated care support functions, partially offset by increases in revenue, as described above.

Debt expense

Debt expense for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2023 and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased primarily due to an increase in our weighted average effective interest rate, partially offset by a decrease in our weighted average outstanding credit facility balance.

Our overall weighted average effective interest rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 4.67% compared to 4.55% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the components of our debt.

Debt refinancing charges

The three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2023 included refinancing charges of $8 million comprised partially of fees incurred on the refinancing of our prior Term Loan A and prior revolving line of credit and partially of deferred financing costs written off for the portion of this debt considered extinguished and reborrowed.

Other income (loss), net

Other income for the second quarter of 2023 decreased compared to the first quarter of 2023, primarily driven by increased losses and downward valuation adjustments in certain investments, partially offset by the gain of $14.0 million on the non-cash assets contributed to Mozarc (Mozarc gain). Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to other loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was driven by an increase in interest income and the Mozarc gain, partially offset by increased losses on investments.

Effective income tax rate

The effective income tax rate and the effective income tax rate attributable to DaVita Inc. decreased for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to an increase in recognized tax benefits from stock-based compensation and benefits recognized in connection with the closure of our federal IRS exam for tax years 2016-2017.

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in the portion of our earnings attributable to non-controlling interests and a decrease in forecasted non-deductible advocacy spend in 2023, partially offset by a reduction in estimated tax credits. The effective income tax rate attributable to DaVita Inc. for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was relatively flat compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to a decrease in forecasted non-deductible advocacy spend in 2023, partially offset by a reduction in estimated tax credits.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests

The increases in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the second quarter of 2023 from the first quarter of 2023 and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from the six months ended June 30, 2022 were due to increased profitability at certain U.S. dialysis partnerships.

Accounts receivable

Our consolidated accounts receivable balances at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $2.010 billion and $2.132 billion, respectively, representing approximately 62 and 68 days of revenue outstanding (DSO), respectively. Consolidated DSO decreased primarily due to improved collections from certain payers. Our DSO calculation is based on the current quarter’s average revenues per day. There were no significant changes from the first quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2023 in the carrying amount of accounts receivable outstanding over one year old.

Consolidated cash flows

Consolidated cash flows from operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to improvements in cash collections, decreases in cash taxes and other working capital items partially offset by an increase in interest payments.

Free cash flow during the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased from the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in net cash provided by operating activities partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures and decreases in proceeds from sale of self-developed properties.

Significant uses of cash during the period included net debt payments which consisted of the pay off of the remaining principal balance outstanding on its prior Term Loan A and prior revolving line of credit in the amount of $1,444 million and $150 million, respectively, and regularly scheduled and other principal payments under our senior secured credit facilities totaling approximately $54 million on our prior Term Loan A and $43 million on Term Loan B-1, as well as additional required payments under other debt arrangements. Additionally, we recognized financing cash outflows of $30 million in deferred financing costs related to the Amendments to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement and $15 million in cap premium fees for our 2023 forward interest cap agreements. Significant sources of cash during the period included the refinancing of the Term Loan A and revolving line of credit with a secured Term Loan A-1 facility in the aggregate principal amount of $1,250 million and a secured revolving line of credit with a net draw of $285 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

By comparison, the same period in 2022 included a net draw of $425 million on our prior revolving line of credit, net debt payments which consisted of regularly scheduled mandatory principal payments under our senior secured credit facilities totaling approximately $44 million on our prior Term Loan A and $14 million on Term Loan B-1, as well as additional required payments under other debt arrangements. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 we used cash to repurchase 5,972,974 shares of our common stock.

(2)Represents dialysis centers that were sold and/or closed for which the majority of patients were not retained.

(3)Represents dialysis centers that were closed for which the majority of patients were retained and transferred to one of our other existing outpatient dialysis centers.

Available liquidity

As of June 30, 2023, we had $285 million drawn on our new $1.5 billion revolving line of credit under our senior secured credit facilities. Credit available under this new revolving line of credit is reduced by the amount of any letters of credit outstanding thereunder, of which there were none as of June 30, 2023. We separately had approximately $151 million in letters of credit outstanding under a separate bilateral secured letter of credit facility.

See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for components of our long-term debt and their interest rates. We may from time to time seek to obtain funds or refinance existing debt through additional debt financings or other capital alternatives.

We believe that our cash flow from operations and other sources of liquidity, including from amounts available under our senior secured credit facilities and our access to the capital markets, will be sufficient to fund our scheduled debt service under the terms of our debt agreements and other obligations for the foreseeable future, including the next 12 months. Our primary recurrent sources of liquidity are cash from operations and cash from borrowings, which are subject to general, economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control, as described in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors of our 2022 10-K.

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP measures

The following tables provide reconciliations of adjusted operating income (loss) to operating income (loss) as presented on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis for our U.S. dialysis reportable segment as well as for our U.S. IKC business, our U.S. other ancillary services, our international business, and for our total ancillary services which combines them and is disclosed as our other segments category, in addition to our corporate administrative support. These non-GAAP or “adjusted” measures are presented because management believes these measures are useful adjuncts to, but not alternatives for, our GAAP results. Note that the non-GAAP measures presented for prior periods below have been conformed to the method or calculation of non-GAAP measures presented for the current period.

Specifically, management uses adjusted operating income (loss) to compare and evaluate our performance period over period and relative to competitors, to analyze the underlying trends in our business, to establish operational budgets and forecasts and for incentive compensation purposes. We believe this non-GAAP measure is also useful to investors and analysts in evaluating our performance over time and relative to competitors, as well as in analyzing the underlying trends in our business. We also believe this presentation enhances a user's understanding of our normal operating income by excluding certain items which we do not believe are indicative of our ordinary results of operations.

In addition, our effective income tax rate on income attributable to DaVita Inc. excludes noncontrolling owners' income, which primarily relates to non-tax paying entities. We believe this adjusted effective income tax rate is useful to management, investors and analysts in evaluating our performance and establishing expectations for income taxes incurred on our ordinary results attributable to DaVita Inc.

Finally, our free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less distributions to noncontrolling interests and all capital expenditures (including development capital expenditures, routine maintenance and information technology), plus contributions from noncontrolling interests and proceeds from the sale of self-developed properties. Management uses this measure to assess our ability to fund acquisitions and meet our debt service obligations and we believe this measure is equally useful to investors and analysts as an adjunct to cash flows from operating activities and other measures under GAAP.

It is important to bear in mind that these non-GAAP “adjusted” measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, nor as substitutes for, their most comparable GAAP measures.

Off-balance sheet arrangements and aggregate contractual obligations

In addition to the debt obligations and operating lease liabilities reflected on our balance sheet, we have commitments associated with letters of credit, as well as certain working capital funding obligations associated with our equity investments in nonconsolidated dialysis ventures that we manage and some that we manage which are wholly-owned by third parties. For additional information see Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

We also have potential obligations to purchase the noncontrolling interests held by third parties in many of our majority-owned dialysis partnerships and other nonconsolidated entities. These obligations are in the form of put provisions that are exercisable at the third-party owners’ discretion within specified periods as outlined in each specific put provision. For additional information on these obligations and how we measure and report them, see Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report and Notes 17 and 24 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2022 10-K.

For information on the maturities and other terms of our long term debt, see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest rate and foreign currency sensitivity

There has been no material change in the nature of the Company's interest rate risks or foreign currency exchange risks from those described in Part II Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The tables below provide information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of June 30, 2023. For further information on the components of the Company's long-term debt and their interest rates, see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q at Part I Item 1.

Long term debt:
Fixed rate	$	11	$	34	$	34	$	44	$	31	$	28	$	4,388	$	4,570	4.42	%	$	3,623
Variable rate	$	41	$	82	$	96	$	2,617	$	82	$	1,271	$	1	$	4,190	4.92	%	$	4,138

(1)Represents the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt excluding financing leases. See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.

During and as of the end of the second quarter, the Company transitioned the variable rate base on its senior secured credit facilities and related hedging interest rate caps from LIBOR to SOFR. This transition involved a SOFR-to-LIBOR rate mismatch between this debt and the 2019 interest rate caps for a portion of this quarter, but the Company’s interest rate hedges remained highly effective throughout the transition and thereafter.

The scheduled principal payments for all debt that bears a variable rate by its terms, including all of Term Loan B-1 and Term Loan A-1, have been included on the variable rate line of the schedule of expected maturities above. Additionally, the principal amounts of Term Loan B-1 and Term Loan A-1 have been included in the calculation of the average variable interest rate presented.

However, principal amounts of $2,618 million for Term Loan B-1 and $882 million of Term Loan A-1 (the capped debt) are subject to SOFR caps of 2.00% through June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2023, applicable SOFR rates were above this 2.00%, making the interest rates on this capped debt “economically fixed", unless or until applicable SOFR rates were to fall back below 2.00% during the remaining term of the caps.

As a result, as of June 30, 2023, total fixed and economically fixed debt was $8,070 million, with an average interest rate of 4.30%, while total variable rate debt not subject to caps was $690 million with an average rate of 8.66%.

See Note 7 for further details on the Company’s interest rate cap agreements.

(1)As defined in the ISDA IBOR Fallbacks Protocol, LIBOR contracts that qualify as derivative instruments transitioned to a SOFR rate plus credit spread adjustment upon LIBOR cessation on June 30, 2023.

(2)Effective January 1, 2025, the maximum rate of 4.00% decreases to 3.75% for these interest rate caps.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) as amended is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

At the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with the Exchange Act requirements as of June 30, 2023. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as required by the Exchange Act as of such date for our Exchange Act reports, including this report. Management recognizes that these controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance of desired outcomes, and that estimates and judgments are still inherent in the process of maintaining effective controls and procedures.

There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that was identified during the evaluation that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
