U.S. dialysis metrics:

Volume: Total U.S. dialysis treatments for the second quarter of 2024 were 7,265,444, or an average of 93,147 treatments per day, representing a per day increase of 1.1% compared to the first quarter of 2024. Normalized non-acquired treatment growth in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 was 0.4%.

	Three months ended		Quarter change	Six months ended		Year to date change
	June 30, 2024	March 31, 2024	Quarter change	June 30, 2024	June 30, 2023	Year to date change
	(dollars in millions, except per treatment data)
Revenue per treatment	$ 390.22	$ 384.54	$ 5.68	$ 387.40	$ 371.48	$ 15.92
Patient care costs per treatment	$ 255.25	$ 255.13	$ 0.12	$ 255.19	$ 254.94	$ 0.25
General and administrative	$ 282	$ 275	$ 7	$ 556	$ 538	$ 18

Primary drivers of the changes in the table above were as follows:

Revenue: The quarter change was primarily due to a seasonal improvement from patients meeting their co-insurance and deductibles and normal annual rate increases, partially offset by unfavorable changes in payor mix. The year to date change was primarily driven by the increase in average reimbursement rates from normal annual rate increases including from Medicare, as well as revenue cycle improvements, favorable changes in mix and an increase in hospital inpatient dialysis rates.

Patient care costs: The quarter change was primarily due to increases in other direct operating expenses associated with our dialysis centers, health benefit expense, medical supplies expense, insurance costs and center closure costs, as described below. These increases were partially offset by decreased compensation expenses including seasonal decreases in payroll taxes, and decreased travel costs. Additionally, our fixed other direct operating expenses favorably impacted patient care costs per treatment due to increased treatments in the second quarter, as well as decreased professional fees and pharmaceutical unit costs. The year to date change was primarily due to increased compensation expenses, insurance costs, medical supplies expense and health benefits expense. These increases were partially offset by decreased contract wages, contributions to charitable organizations, other direct operating expenses associated with our dialysis centers and center closure costs. Patient care costs per treatment were also impacted by decreased IT-related costs, pharmaceutical unit costs, tax and license costs and professional fees. In addition, our fixed other direct operating expenses favorably impacted patient care costs per treatment due to increased treatments in 2024.

General and administrative: The quarter change was primarily due to increased compensation expense, professional fees, center closure costs, as described below, and long-term incentive compensation, partially offset by decreased advocacy costs. The year to date change was primarily due to increased advocacy costs, IT-related costs, compensation expenses, professional fees and center closure costs, as described below. These increases were partially offset by decreased severance costs, as described below.

Certain items impacting the quarter:

Closure costs. During the third quarter of 2023, we continued the strategic review of our outpatient clinic capacity requirements and utilization, which both have been impacted by declines in our patient census in some markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This continuing review, which began in the third quarter of 2022, has resulted in higher than normal charges for center capacity closures over the last several quarters. These capacity closure costs include net losses on assets retired, lease termination costs, asset impairments and accelerated depreciation and amortization.

During the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred charges for U.S. dialysis center closures of approximately $15.3 million and $29.9 million, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2024 these center closures increased our patient care costs by $6.5 million, our general and administrative expenses by $8.7 million and our depreciation and amortization expense by $0.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, these center closures increased our patient care costs by $9.8 million, our general and administrative expenses by $15.8 million and our depreciation and amortization expense by $4.3 million.

In connection with a comment letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff, beginning in the second quarter of 2024, we have updated the presentation of our non-GAAP measures to no longer exclude center closure costs for all periods presented as well as for our current full-year 2024 guidance. To facilitate comparisons, prior periods shown herein now conform to this revised presentation, except as may otherwise be indicated.

Debt transactions. In May 2024, we entered into the Fourth Amendment to our senior secured credit agreement. The Fourth Amendment extends the maturity date for a portion of our Term Loan B-1 in the aggregate principal amount of $1,640 million.

Change Healthcare. During the first half of 2024, we experienced delays in claims processing as a result of the Change Healthcare outage. As a result, we applied for and received interest-free funding from UnitedHealth Group under the Temporary Funding Assistance Program. As of June 30, 2024 we have $393 million outstanding under this program. Amounts provided under this program are subject to repayment within 45 business days from a future date to be mutually agreed to by Change Healthcare and the Company.

Share repurchases. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 2.7 million shares for $376 million, at an average price paid of $140.14 per share.

Subsequent to June 30, 2024 through August 2, 2024, the Company has repurchased 1.1 million shares of our common stock for $159 million at an average price paid of $138.81 per share.

Center activity: As of June 30, 2024, we provided dialysis services to a total of approximately 265,100 patients at 3,124 outpatient dialysis centers, of which 2,672 centers were located in the United States and 452 centers were located in 13 countries outside of the United States. During the second quarter of 2024, we acquired and opened a total of 10 and closed three dialysis centers in the United States. We also acquired 24, opened three and closed two dialysis centers outside of the United States during the second quarter of 2024.

Integrated kidney care (IKC): As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately 71,300 patients in risk-based integrated care arrangements representing approximately $5.4 billion in annualized medical spend. We also had an additional 15,200 patients in other integrated care arrangements; we do not include the medical spend for these patients in this annualized medical spend estimate. For an additional description of these metrics, see footnote 7 in the "Supplemental Financial Data" table below.

Outlook:

The following forward-looking measures and the underlying assumptions involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including those described below, and actual results may vary materially from these forward-looking measures. We do not provide guidance for operating income or diluted net income per share attributable to DaVita Inc. on a basis consistent with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) nor a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. These current non-GAAP financial measures do not include certain items, including gains on changes in ownership interest and foreign currency fluctuations, which may be significant. The guidance for our effective income tax rate on adjusted income attributable to DaVita Inc. also excludes the amount of third-party owners' income and related taxes attributable to non-tax paying entities.

Additionally, in connection with a comment letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff, beginning in the second quarter of 2024, we no longer exclude center closure costs from our 2024 guidance. Accordingly, under the revised presentation, our current 2024 guidance no longer excludes approximately $60 million in center closure costs. Prior 2024 guidance shown below is as of May 2, 2024, and therefore is shown under the prior presentation methodology.

	Current 2024 guidance		Prior 2024 guidance

Adjusted operating income	$1,910	$2,010	$1,875	$1,975

Free cash flow	$950	$1,200	$900	$1,150

We will be holding a conference call to discuss our results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, on August 6, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. To join the conference call, please dial (877) 918-6630 from the U.S. or (517) 308-9042 from outside the U.S., and provide the operator the password "Earnings."

the concentration of profits generated by higher-paying commercial payor plans for which there is continued downward pressure on average realized payment rates; a reduction in the number or percentage of our patients under commercial plans, including, without limitation, as a result of continuing legislative efforts to restrict or prohibit the use and/or availability of charitable premium assistance, or as a result of payors' implementing restrictive plan designs;
risks arising from potential changes in or new laws, regulations or requirements applicable to us, including, without limitation, those related to healthcare, antitrust matters, including, among others, non-competes and other restrictive covenants, and acquisition, merger, joint venture or similar transactions and/or labor matters, and potential impacts of changes in enforcement thereof or related litigation impacting, among other things, coverage or reimbursement rates for our services or the number of patients enrolled in or that select higher-paying commercial plans, and the risk that we make incorrect assumptions about how our patients will respond to any such developments;
our ability to attract, retain and motivate teammates and our ability to manage operating cost increases or productivity decreases whether due to union organizing activities, legislative or other changes, demand for labor, volatility and uncertainty in the labor market, the current challenging and highly competitive labor market conditions, or other reasons;
our ability to successfully implement our strategies with respect to IKC and VBC initiatives and home based dialysis in the desired time frame and in a complex, dynamic and highly regulated environment;
a reduction in government payment rates under the Medicare End Stage Renal Disease program, state Medicaid or other government-based programs and the impact of the MA benchmark structure;

legal and compliance risks, such as compliance with complex, and at times, evolving government regulations and requirements, and with additional laws that may apply to our operations as we expand geographically or enter into new lines of business;
changes in pharmaceutical practice patterns, reimbursement and payment policies and processes, or pharmaceutical pricing, including with respect to oral phosphate binders, among other things;
our reliance on significant suppliers, service providers and other third party vendors to provide key support to our business operations and enable our provision of services to patients, such as, among others, CHC and suppliers of certain pharmaceuticals or critical clinical products;
our ability to develop and maintain relationships with physicians and hospitals, changing affiliation models for physicians, and the emergence of new models of care or other initiatives that, among other things, may erode our patient base and impact reimbursement rates;
our ability to complete and successfully integrate and operate acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or other strategic transactions on terms favorable to us or at all; and our ability to successfully expand our operations and services in markets outside the United States, or to businesses or products outside of dialysis services;
the variability of our cash flows, including, without limitation, any extended billing or collections cycles including, without limitation, due to defects or operational issues in our billing systems or in the billing systems or services of third parties on which we rely, such as the operational issues at CHC resulting from a recent cyberattack; the risk that we may not be able to generate or access sufficient cash in the future to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs; and the risk that we may not be able to refinance our indebtedness as it becomes due, on terms favorable to us or at all;
factors that may impact our ability to repurchase stock under our stock repurchase program and the timing of any such stock repurchases, as well as any use by us of a considerable amount of available funds to repurchase stock;
our aspirations, goals and disclosures related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters, including, among other things, evolving regulatory requirements affecting ESG standards, measurements and reporting requirements; and

Calculation of the Leverage Ratio

Under our amended senior secured credit facilities (the Amended Credit Agreement) dated May 9, 2024 and our prior senior secured credit facilities, the leverage ratio is defined as (a) all funded debt, minus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (including short-term investments) not to exceed $750 divided by (b) "Consolidated EBITDA." The leverage ratio determines the interest rate margin payable by the Company for its Term Loan A-1 and revolving line of credit under the Amended Credit Agreement by establishing the margin over the base interest rate (SOFR plus credit spread adjustment) that is applicable. The calculation below is based on the last 12 months of "Consolidated EBITDA" and "Consolidated net debt" at the end of each reported period, each as defined in the credit agreement. The calculation of "Consolidated EBITDA" below sets forth, among other things, certain pro forma adjustments described in the Amended Credit Agreement, including pro forma adjustments for acquisitions or divestitures that occurred during the period and certain projected net cost savings, expense reductions and cost synergies. These pro forma adjustments are determined according to specified criteria set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, and as a result, the total adjustments calculated may not be comparable to the Company's estimates for other purposes, including as operating performance measures. The Company's management believes the presentation of "Consolidated EBITDA" is useful to investors to enhance their understanding of the Company's leverage ratio under the Amended Credit Agreement and should not be evaluated for any other purpose. The leverage ratio calculated by the Company is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered a substitute for the ratio of total debt to operating income, determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company's calculation of its leverage ratio might not be calculated in the same manner as, and thus might not be comparable to, similarly titled measures of other companies.

(2)	This excludes amounts not readily convertible to cash related to the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plans for all periods presented. The Amended Credit Agreement limits the amount deducted for cash and cash equivalents, including short-term investments, to the lesser of all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, including short-term investments of the Company or $750.

RECONCILIATIONS FOR NON-GAAP MEASURES

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As used in this press release, the term "adjusted" refers to non-GAAP measures as follows, each as reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure as presented in the non-GAAP reconciliations in the notes to this press release: (i) for income and expense measures, the term "adjusted" refers to operating performance measures that exclude certain items such as, but not limited to, impairment charges, (gain) loss on ownership changes, restructuring charges, accruals for legal matters, and debt extinguishment and modification costs; and (ii) the term "effective income tax rate on adjusted income attributable to DaVita Inc." represents the Company's effective tax rate excluding applicable non-GAAP items and the tax associated with them as well as noncontrolling owners' income, which primarily relates to non-tax paying entities.

In connection with a comment letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff, beginning in the second quarter of 2024, we have updated the presentation of our non-GAAP measures to no longer exclude center closure costs for all periods presented. To facilitate comparisons, the non-GAAP measures presented for prior periods also have been conformed to the presentation of the non-GAAP measures for the current period.

These non-GAAP or "adjusted" measures are presented because management believes these measures are useful adjuncts to GAAP results. However, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered alternatives to the corresponding measures determined under GAAP.

Specifically, management uses adjusted measures of operating expenses for its U.S. dialysis business, adjusted U.S. dialysis patient care costs per treatment, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to DaVita Inc. and adjusted diluted net income per share attributable to DaVita Inc. 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 these non-GAAP measures also are 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. Furthermore, we believe these presentations enhance a user's understanding of our normal consolidated results by excluding certain items which we do not believe are indicative of our ordinary results of operations. As a result, adjusting for these amounts allows for comparison to our normalized prior period results.

The effective income tax rate on adjusted income attributable to DaVita Inc. excludes noncontrolling owners' income and certain non-deductible and other charges which we do not believe are indicative of our ordinary results. Accordingly, we believe these adjusted effective income tax rates are 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, free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less distributions to noncontrolling interests, development capital expenditures, and maintenance capital expenditures; 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 or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, nor as substitutes for, their most comparable GAAP measures.

The following reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release to their most comparable GAAP measures.

(1)	Represents a non-cash gain recognized on the acquisition of a controlling financial interest in a previously nonconsolidated dialysis partnership. This gain to mark the investment to fair value prior to consolidation does not represent a normal and recurring cost of operating our business or generating revenues and may obscure analysis of underlying trends and financial performance.

(3)	Represents the non-cash write-off of debt refinancing costs associated with the Company's senior secured credit agreement. Costs associated with refinancing the Company's debt are not indicative of normal debt expense and may obscure analysis of underlying trends and financial performance. See additional discussion under "Debt transactions" above.
