Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Plan Administrator and Plan Participants of
DaVita Retirement Savings Plan

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the DaVita Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2021, the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2021, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Opinion on the Supplemental Information

The supplemental information included in Schedule H, line 4a – Schedule of Delinquent Participant Contributions for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Schedule H, line 4(i) – Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2021 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information in the accompanying schedules, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information in the accompanying schedules is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

DAVITA RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2021 and 2020
(dollars in thousands)

(1)    Description of Plan
The following description of the DaVita Retirement Savings Plan ("the Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. All capitalized terms used herein that are not defined, shall have the meaning given to them in the Plan.
(a) General
The Plan was established as a defined contribution plan for the benefit of employees of DaVita Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company). Employees become eligible to participate immediately following the date of hire and attaining the age of 18 (however, a Participant must wait until the first of the month after attaining age 18 and completing 12 months of service before being eligible for the discretionary matching contribution). The Plan does not cover certain classes of individuals such as leased employees, independent contractors, nonresident aliens, residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or employees covered under a collective bargaining agreement. The Plan is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).
Auto Enrollment
All new employees of the Company, except employees from plans transferred into the Plan, are automatically enrolled in the Plan at a pre-tax deferral rate of six percent of Compensation upon meeting the eligibility requirements as described above.
Automatic Increase Contributions
Participants who are deferring at least one percent but no more than nine percent of Compensation per pay period will have their deferral rate increased annually by one percent each January 1st until their deferral rate reaches 10%. All eligible Participants receive a notice of the right to opt out of the escalation of Automatic Contributions before such increased contributions are made. If the Participant does not make an affirmative election on or before the deadline, the Participant’s deferral percentage in effect as of December 31st of the prior Plan Year will be increased as described above.
(b) Contributions
Participants may elect to contribute a maximum percentage of 75% of their Compensation into any one of the investment options offered by the Plan, subject to the legal limit allowed by the Code. Participants may elect to contribute Compensation on a pre-tax basis, an after-tax (Roth) basis or a combination of both. Participants may change their election prospectively at any time.
The Company and its subsidiaries have elected to make a discretionary matching contribution to the Plan for each eligible Participant in an amount equal to 50% of the Participant’s contributions, up to 6% of Compensation each pay period. However, if the Participant had a base salary of $120 and was in a position of director or above as of December 31 of the prior Plan Year, the maximum match for that Participant did not exceed $3.6. The matching contribution is calculated on a payroll by payroll basis, funded annually the following January and is only allocated to Participants who are employed on the last day of the Plan Year (unless the Participant died, became Totally and Permanently Disabled, or terminated on or after Normal Retirement Age). The Company’s discretionary matching contributions are invested in accordance with the Participant’s investment elections for Participant contributions.
Participants may direct their investments into the DaVita Stock Fund, certain registered investment company funds and a common commingled trust fund as allowed under the Plan. The contributions of Participants who do not make elected investment options are automatically invested into various JPMorgan SmartRetirement

DAVITA RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2021 and 2020
(dollars in thousands)

Blend funds, depending upon the age of the Participants. Participants cannot direct more than 20% of their contributions into the DaVita Stock Fund.
Participants may elect to change their contribution percentage at any time and may change their investment elections or transfer amounts between funds daily, subject to applicable restrictions set forth in the insider trading policy of the Company if such elections or transfers involve the DaVita Stock Fund. Participants who have attained the age of 50 before the close of the Plan Year are also eligible to make catch-up contributions in accordance with, and subject to, the legal limitations of the Code.
The Company may not elect to make discretionary contributions, except as part of the employer matching contributions discussed above.
Participants may transfer rollover contributions from other qualified plans into their Plan account subject to provisions under the Plan. Rollovers must be made in cash within the time limit specified by the Code.
(c) Participant Accounts
The Plan recordkeeper maintains an account for each Participant’s contributions, allocations of Company and its subsidiaries contributions if any, rollover contributions, investment earnings and losses and Plan expenses. Investment earnings and losses and Plan expenses are allocated to each account in the proportion that the account bears to the total of all Participants’ accounts. Participants’ accounts are valued on a daily basis based on the quoted market prices as reported by the investment funds, or the quoted market prices of the underlying securities.
(d) Vesting
Participants in the Plan will always be 100% vested in their section 401(k) contributions, and their rollover contributions and earnings thereon. Participants in the Plan prior to January 1, 2018 are 100% vested in Employer match contributions, while Participants joining the Plan on or after January 1, 2018 vest in Employer match contributions 25% per year over a four year period. Employees become fully vested upon death, Total and Permanent Disability or Normal Retirement Age.
(e) Benefit Payments
Distributions from the Plan will be paid in the form of cash or if a Participant’s vested balance includes the DaVita Stock Fund, they may elect to receive a distribution of those shares. Participants may receive distributions either upon termination of service, by obtaining age 59½, incurring a financial hardship, withdrawing their rollover and after‑tax contributions or upon termination of the Plan. Rollover and after‑tax contributions may be withdrawn at any time. Employee deferral contributions may not be distributed unless the Participant has attained age 59½, incurs a financial hardship, terminates service or upon termination of the Plan. However, unless the Participant elects otherwise, distributions in cash will begin no later than sixty days after the close of the Plan Year, in which the latest following event occurs: a Participant reaches Normal Retirement Age, obtains ten years of participation in the Plan or terminates employment. Distributions are also required to begin by April of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 72, or 70½ if the Participant attained the age of 70½ before January 1, 2020. The benefit to which a Participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the Participant’s Vested Account.
Terminated Participants with Vested Account balances greater than $1 and less than $5 will have their account transferred to another qualified account unless they elect to have a rollover or lump sum payment. For termination of service with Vested Account benefits of $1 or less, a Participant may automatically receive the Vested Account interest in his or her account in a lump sum distribution unless a rollover is elected.
Distributions for financial hardship can only be made both on account of an immediate and heavy financial need, and be necessary to satisfy that need. Only the Participant’s tax deferred contributions, Roth contributions,

6

DAVITA RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2021 and 2020
(dollars in thousands)

vested matching contributions and rollover contributions may be distributed for financial hardship. Earnings and Company discretionary contributions are not eligible for financial hardship distributions.
In the event of death of a Participant, the Participant’s Vested Account balance will be distributed to the Participant’s beneficiary as soon as reasonably practicable.
If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the plan administrator deems the participant loan to be in default, the participant loan balance is reduced, and a benefit payment is recorded (deemed distribution).
(f) Forfeitures
At December 31, 2021 and 2020, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $633 and $89, respectively. These accounts may be used to reduce future employer contributions or pay Plan expenses. During 2021, forfeitures of $31 and $143 were used to reduce employer contributions and pay Plan administrative expenses, respectively.
(g) Notes Receivable From Participants
The Plan permits Participants to borrow a minimum of $1 from their Participant accounts. Subject to the Code and Plan limits, such notes receivable cannot exceed the lesser of 50% of the value of the Participant’s vested account, or $50, reduced for any prior notes receivable outstanding.
The notes receivable must be repaid generally within five years or within 10 years when the proceeds are used to purchase a principal residence of the Participant and bears a fixed interest rate at prime as stated in the Wall Street Journal on the last day of the month preceding the month in which the note receivable is made plus 1%. The interest rates on outstanding notes receivable ranged from 3.25% to 9.25% at December 31, 2021, with maturities through December 2038, which includes loans transferred in from other plans, primarily related to mortgage loans. Notes receivable are secured by the Participant's Vested Account.
(h) Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed the intent to do so, the Company has the right to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions under ERISA. If the Plan is terminated, each Participant’s account balance will be fully vested and distributed in a timely manner.
(i) COVID-19 Impact and General Economic and Marketplace Conditions
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), which was signed into law on March 27, 2020 in response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, included, among other things, several relief provisions available to tax qualified retirement plans and their Participants. The Plan elected and implemented certain of these provisions, including, among other things, expanded distribution options and favorable tax treatment for coronavirus-related distributions to qualified individuals of up to $100 and the suspension of certain qualified loan repayments for up to one year. The Plan is required to be amended no later than December 31, 2022 for these provisions.
The Plan and its investment portfolio continue to be impacted by COVID-19 and conditions in the general economy that may be intensified by the pandemic, including challenges with respect to supply chains, inflation and wage pressure, among other things. The Plan's management (Plan Management), which consists of both the Plan Administrator and the Plan Administrative Committee, believes the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the portfolio will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and difficult to predict, including, among other things, the severity and duration of the pandemic; further spread or resurgence of the virus, including as a result of the emergence of new strains of the virus; the availability, acceptance, impact and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, treatments and therapies; the pandemic’s continuing impact on the U.S. and global economies, unemployment, labor market conditions, inflation and monetary policies; continued increased

DAVITA RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2021 and 2020
(dollars in thousands)

COVID-19-related costs; supply chain challenges and disruptions; and the timing, scope and effectiveness of federal, state and local governmental responses.
Plan Management continues to closely monitor the impact of the pandemic and the resulting economic environment on the Plan, including the potential volatility in the Plan's investment portfolio. At this time, Plan Management cannot reasonably estimate the ultimate impact the COVID-19 pandemic or these general economic conditions will have on the Plan's financial condition and net assets, but the adverse impact could be material.
(2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
(b) Income Recognition and Net Investment Income
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade‑date basis. Interest income is accrued when earned. Dividends are recorded on the ex‑dividend date. Net appreciation in fair value of investments includes the Plan's realized gains and losses on investments bought and sold during the year as well as the appreciation or depreciation on investments held at year-end.
(c) Investments
The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Investments in shares of registered investment company funds are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices (the net asset values) as reported by each investment fund. The fair values of the common commingled trust funds are calculated as discussed below. The DaVita Stock Fund is valued at fair value based on its year‑end unit closing price from the New York Stock Exchange (comprised of year‑end market price of underlying stock plus uninvested cash position).
The T. Rowe Price Stable Value Common Trust Fund (Stable Value Fund) is a common commingled trust (CCT) fund investing primarily in guaranteed investment contracts (GICs), bank investment contract (BICs), synthetic GICs and/or separate account contracts (SACs). The target retirement date funds are invested in CCTs. These CCTs are priced daily using the net asset values as reported by each investment fund. Investments in common commingled trust funds are recorded at fair value using the price at which Participants are able to transact under the terms of the Plan as measured and available for redemption on a daily basis by the common commingled trust fund managers.
(d) Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investment fund options, which in turn invest in a combination of stocks, bonds and other investment securities. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility risks. Due to the high level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
(e) Receivables – Notes Receivable From Participants
Notes receivable from Participants are measured at their unpaid outstanding principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Delinquent loans are recorded as distributions based on the terms of the Plan document.

8

DAVITA RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2021 and 2020
(dollars in thousands)


(f) Receivables – Participant Contributions
Receivables from Participant contributions are stated at net realizable value, and represent deferrals of employees’ Compensation that have not yet been contributed to the Plan.
(g) Receivables – Employer Contributions
Receivables from employer contributions are stated at net realizable value, and represent employer matching contributions that have not yet been contributed to the Plan.
(h) Benefit Payments
Benefits are recorded when paid.
(i) Administrative Expenses and Investment Management Fees
All operational administrative costs of the Plan are deducted from Participants’ account balances except certain transaction costs associated with the recordkeeping of the DaVita Stock Fund, which are borne by the Company. Administrative costs include trustee fees, recordkeeping, Participant reporting costs, brokerage fees, Participant notes receivable costs, accounting and legal fees, commissions and transactions charges. Investment management fees are paid by each respective investment fund and are deducted in arriving at each fund’s overall net asset value. Fees deducted from Participant accounts are held within the Plan and invested in the Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund as a nonparticipant-directed investment until used to pay Plan administrative expenses.
(j) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires Plan Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(3)    Party‑in‑Interest Transactions
Voya Financial is the Trustee and recordkeeper for the Plan. Each fund within the Plan has its own investment manager. The transfer of assets, as well as the recordkeeping functions of the Plan qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Additionally, the Company provided personnel and administrative functions for the Plan at no charge to the Plan. The Plan also holds shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which qualifies as party-in-interest transactions under the provisions of ERISA. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Plan made purchases of approximately $6,643 and sales of approximately $9,216 of the Company's Common Stock. State Street Corporation is the custodian of the shares held in the DaVita Stock Fund.
(4)    Tax Status
The Plan document is a Defined Contribution Prototype Plan and Trust with a Non-Standardized Adoption Agreement that received a favorable opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on September 1, 2014, stating that the Plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code. The Plan has subsequently been amended. Plan Management believes the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code, and as a result, is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require Plan Management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and

9

DAVITA RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2021 and 2020
(dollars in thousands)

has concluded that as of December 31, 2021, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2018.
(6)    Nonparticipant-directed investments
Information about the net assets and the significant components of the changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2021 relating to the nonparticipant-directed registered investments is as follows:

Net assets, end of year$3,815 
(7)    Fair Value Measurements
The Plan measures the fair value of its assets based upon certain valuation techniques that include observable or unobservable inputs and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing these assets under a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The investments in registered investment company funds are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices as reported by each investment fund.
Investments in common commingled trust funds are recorded at fair value using the price at which Participants are able to transact under the terms of the Plan as measured and available for redemption on a daily basis by the common commingled trust fund managers. For the Stable Value Fund, the Plan is required to provide 12 months' advance written notice to the trustee prior to redemption of trust units upon withdrawal from the fund. There are no restrictions related to the redemption notice period and there were no unfunded commitments at December 31, 2021. See (2)(c) under Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further discussions.
DaVita Stock Fund is recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices as reported by the New York Stock Exchange. See (2)(c) under Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further discussion.
The methods used for determining fair value may not be reflective of the actual values that will be received upon settlement of the securities due to fluctuations in the market. However, Plan Management believes the methods used to measure the fair value of its assets are appropriate and are based upon relevant market factors such as quoted prices or observable market inputs. The use of different methods or assumptions could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
(8)    Reconciliation of Plan Financial Statements to the Form 5500

(9)    Late Remittance
As reported on the supplemental schedule of delinquent contributions (Schedule H, Line 4a), the Company remitted certain participant contributions to the trustee outside the time period required by the Department of Labor Regulation 2510.3-102. Delinquent contributions of $23 from the 2017 Plan Year were remitted to participant accounts in November 2019. The Company remitted lost earnings, including interest, related to the delinquent Contributions on July 8, 2020. An application under the Department of Labor’s Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program (VFCP) was filed on September 10, 2020. The VFCP application was approved and the no action letter was issued July 8, 2021.
(10)    Subsequent Events
Management evaluated for disclosure or recognition any subsequent events through June 21, 2022, the issuance date of the financial statements.
On March 23, 2021 a putative class action (Teodosio et al. v. DaVita Inc. et al.) was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors, the Plan Administrative Committee, and 30 “John Does.” The complaint alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties under ERISA by allowing the Plan to charge excessive fees to Participants. Defendants dispute the allegations in the complaint and intend to defend the case accordingly.
