As these estimates are refined over time, both positive and negative adjustments to revenue are recognized in the current period.

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.

The reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

As dialysis treatments are an essential, life-sustaining service for patients who depend on them, the Company's operations have continued ~~and are currently expected to continue~~ throughout the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. However, the ultimate impact of the dynamic and evolving COVID-19 pandemic on the Company will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and difficult to predict, including among other things the ultimate 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), its impact on ~~our~~the chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient population and the Company's patient population, the availability, acceptance, impact and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines and other treatments, or therapies, the pandemic’s continuing impact on the U.S. and global economies and unemployment, the responses of the Company's competitors to the pandemic and related changes in the marketplace, and the timing, scope and effectiveness of federal, state and local governmental responses. While the Company does not currently expect a material adverse impact to its business as a result of this public health crisis, there can be no assurance that the COVID-19 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 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, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. 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 2020 10-K, NaN of the Company's various other reporting units were considered at risk of significant goodwill impairment as of ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

with the Repricing Amendment. The majority of the Company's Term Loan B debt was considered modified. As a result, the Company recognized debt refinancing charges of $2,948 in the six months ended June 30, 2020, comprised partially of fees incurred on this transaction and partially of deferred financing costs written off for the portion of debt considered extinguished and reborrowed. For the portion of the Term Loan B debt that was considered extinguished and reborrowed in this refinancing, the Company recognized $68,842 in constructive financing cash outflows and financing cash inflows on the statement of cash flows, even though no funds were actually paid or received. Another $55,895 of the debt considered extinguished in this refinancing represented a non-cash financing activity.

During the first six months of 2020, the Company made regularly scheduled mandatory principal payments under its senior secured credit facilities totaling $21,875 on Term Loan A and $13,716 on Term Loan B-1.

On June 9, 2020, the Company issued $1,750,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.625% senior notes due 2030 (the 4 ⅝% Senior Notes) in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 4 ⅝% Senior Notes pay interest on June 1 and December 1 of each year beginning ~~December 1, 2020~~. The 4 ⅝% Senior Notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. The 4 ⅝% Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our senior secured credit facilities. The Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 4 ⅝% Senior Notes at any time prior to June 1, 2023 at 104.625% of the aggregate principal amount from the proceeds of one or more equity offerings, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company may redeem the 4 ⅝% Senior Notes at any time prior to June 1, 2025 at a make whole redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and on and after such date at certain redemption prices specified in the indenture governing the 4 ⅝% Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 4 ⅝% Senior Notes contain restrictive covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its guarantors to, among other things, create certain liens, enter into certain sale/leaseback transactions, or merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets. The 4 ⅝% Senior Notes and related subsidiary guarantees do not have any registration or similar rights and are not expected to be registered for exchange on public markets. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had incurred $20,293 in fees, discounts and other professional expenses associated with this transaction that were capitalized and will amortize over the term of the 4 ⅝% Senior Notes.

On July 15, 2020, the Company used the net proceeds from the 4 ⅝% Senior Notes offering, together with cash on hand, to redeem in full all $1,750,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 5 ⅛% Senior Notes plus accrued interest and redemption premium. In connection with this redemption, the Company incurred debt redemption premium charges of $29,890 and deferred financing cost write-offs of $9,764 which will be recognized in the third quarter of 2020 along with related advisory costs incurred.

~~The Company's 2015 interest rate cap agreements expired on~~ ~~June 30, 2020~~ ~~and the Company's 2019 cap agreements became effective on~~ ~~June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company's 2019 interest rate cap agreements have the economic effect of capping the Company's maximum exposure to LIBOR variable interest rate changes on equivalent amounts of the Company's floating rate debt, including all of ~~the~~ Term Loan B-1 and a portion of ~~the~~ Term Loan A. The remaining ~~$946,597~~$871,336 outstanding principal balance of ~~the~~ Term Loan A is subject to LIBOR-based interest rate volatility. These cap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges and, as a result, changes in the fair values of the cap agreements 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~~credit risk-contingent features.

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.~~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, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, 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

The subpoena covered the period from January 1, 2007 to the present, and sought documents relevant to charitable patient assistance organizations, particularly the American Kidney Fund (AKF), including documents related to efforts to provide patients with information concerning the availability of charitable assistance. The Department of Justice notified the court on July 23, 2019 of its decision to elect not to intervene in the matter of ~~U.S. ex rel. David Gonzalez v. DaVita Healthcare Partners, et al~~. The complaint then was unsealed in the U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts by order entered on August 1, 2019. The Department of Justice confirmed that the complaint, which alleged violations of the FCA and various state false claims acts, was the basis of its investigation initiated in January 2017.

In October 2018, DaVita Labs received a subpoena from the OIG in connection with this matter requesting certain patient records linked to clinical laboratory tests. On September 30, 2019, the U.S. Attorney’s Office notified the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida, of its decision not to elect to intervene at this time in the matter of U.S. ex rel.

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 on-going 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, ~~and/or private civil~~ 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, 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.

On March 27, 2018, the Company and various individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss.

The complaint covers the time period from 2015 to present and alleges, generally, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, corporate waste, and misrepresentations and/or failures to disclose certain information in violation of the federal securities laws in connection with an alleged practice to direct patients with government-subsidized health insurance into private health insurance plans to maximize the Company’s profits. An amended complaint was filed in September 2017, and on December 18, 2017, the Company filed a motion to dismiss and a motion to stay proceedings in the alternative. On April 25, 2019, the court denied the Company's motion to dismiss. The Company answered the complaint on May 28, 2019.

On ~~June 19, 2019~~, the Company completed the sale of its DaVita Medical Group (DMG) business to Optum, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group Inc., for an aggregate purchase price of $4,340,000, prior to certain closing and post-closing adjustments specified in the related equity purchase agreement dated as of ~~December 5, 2017, as amended as of September 20, 2018 and as of December 11, 2018 (as amended, the equity purchase agreement).~~

The Company recorded a preliminary estimated pre-tax net loss of approximately $23,022 on the sale of its DMG business in 2019. This preliminary net loss was based on initial estimates of the Company's expected aggregate proceeds from the sale, net of transaction costs and obligations, as well as the estimated values of DMG net assets sold as of the closing date. These estimated net proceeds included $4,465,476 in cash received from Optum at closing, or $3,824,509 net of cash and

Discontinued operations

On June 19, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its DaVita Medical Group (DMG) business to Collaborative Care Holdings, LLC (Optum), a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group Inc. At close of the DMG sale, the Company's ultimate net sale proceeds remained subject to resolution of certain post-closing purchase price adjustments described in the ~~DMG net assets sold. During~~equity purchase agreement, which adjustments were finalized in the ~~six months ended June 30,~~fourth quarter of 2020. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company recognized $9,980 in additional tax benefits under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act related to its period of DMG ownership, which ~~have been~~were recognized as an adjustment to the Company's loss on sale of the DMG business.

The ultimate net proceeds from the DMG sale, as well as the value of its previously held for sale net assets sold, remain subject to estimate revisions and post-closing adjustments pursuant to the equity purchase agreement, which could be material. The Company continues to work with Optum concerning what, if any, net working capital adjustment or other potential adjustments to the purchase price are appropriate, via the process set forth in the equity purchase agreement. Under the equity purchase agreement, the Company also has certain indemnification obligations that could require payments to the buyer relating to the Company's previous ownership and operation of the DMG business. Potential payments under these provisions, if any, remain subject to significant uncertainties and could have a material adverse effect on the net proceeds ultimately retained by the Company or the total amount of its loss on the sale of this business.

Investments in equity securities represent investments in various open-ended registered investment companies (mutual funds) and common stock ~~and~~which are held within a trust to fund existing obligations associated with several of the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plans. These investments are recorded at fair value estimated based on reported market prices or redemption prices, as applicable. See Note 4 ~~to these condensed consolidated financial statements~~ for further discussion.

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

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 ~~8 to these condensed consolidated financial statements~~6 for further discussion.

The estimated fair value measurements of contingent earn-out obligations are primarily based on unobservable inputs, including projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and revenue. The estimated fair ~~value~~values of these contingent earn-out obligations isare 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. See Note ~~14 to these condensed consolidated financial statements~~10 for further discussion.

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, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, 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 ~~$150,000.~~$170,000. See Note 17 and Note 24 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the 2020 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 bid and ask quotes for these instruments, typically a level 2 input. See Note ~~8 to these condensed consolidated financial statements~~6 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, 2020~~March 31, 2021 at their approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of their settlements.

14. New accounting standards


~~20.~~	~~New accounting standards~~

New standards recently ~~adopted~~

~~In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,~~ ~~Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.~~ The amendments in this ASU amend the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The amendment requires entities to consider a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses, which may result in earlier recognition of losses. The amendments in this ASU became effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020 and were applied using a modified retrospective basis. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

~~In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13,~~ ~~Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework -Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The applicable amendments in this ASU remove~~

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

requirements for disclosures concerning transfers between fair value measurement levels 1, 2 and 3 and disclosures concerning valuation processes for level 3 fair value measurements. The applicable amendments in this ASU also add a requirement to separately disclose the changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for the reporting period for level 3 items measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and require disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this ASU became effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020 and were applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when adopted January 1, 2020.

~~In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15,~~ ~~Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract~~. ASU No. 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2020, using the prospective transition approach, which allows the Company to change the accounting method without restating prior periods or booking cumulative adjustments. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

~~New standards not yet~~ adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ~~ASU~~Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU No. 2019-12 attempts to simplify aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates, and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. ASU No. 2019-12 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The ~~Company is currently assessing~~adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the ~~effect this guidance may have on its~~Company's consolidated financial statements.

New standards not yet adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued 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. generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting 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 may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the effect this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.


~~21.~~	~~Condensed consolidating financial statements~~

The following information is presented in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. The operating and investing activities of the separate legal entities included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are fully interdependent and integrated. Revenues and operating expenses of the separate legal entities include intercompany charges for management and other administrative services. The Company’s senior notes are guaranteed by a substantial majority of its domestic subsidiaries as measured by revenue, income and assets. The subsidiary guarantors have guaranteed the senior notes on a joint and several basis. However, a subsidiary guarantor will be released from its obligations under its guarantee of the senior notes and the indentures governing the senior notes if, in general, there is a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such subsidiary guarantor, including by merger or consolidation, or a sale or other disposition of all of the equity interests in such subsidiary guarantor held by the Company and its restricted subsidiaries, as defined in the indentures; such subsidiary guarantor is designated by the Company as an unrestricted subsidiary, as defined in the indentures, or otherwise ceases to be a restricted subsidiary of the Company, in each case in accordance with the indentures; or such subsidiary guarantor no longer guarantees any other indebtedness, as defined in the indentures, of the Company or any of its restricted subsidiaries, except for guarantees that are contemporaneously released. The senior notes are not guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, any of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, or any entities that do not constitute subsidiaries within the meaning of the indentures, such as corporations in which the Company holds capital stock with less than a majority of the voting power, joint ventures and partnerships in which the Company holds less than a majority of the equity or voting interests, non-owned entities and third parties. Contemporaneously with the Company entering into its $5,500,000 senior secured credit agreement (the New Credit Agreement) on August 12, 2019 and pursuant to the indentures governing the Company’s senior notes, certain subsidiaries of the Company were released from their guarantees of the Company's senior notes such that, after that release, the remaining subsidiary guarantors of the senior notes were the same subsidiaries guaranteeing the New Credit Agreement. The following condensed consolidating financial statements have been prepared for all periods presented based on the current subsidiary guarantors and non-guarantors stipulated in the New Credit Agreement.

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 various ancillary services ~~and strategic initiatives~~ including 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).

On June 19, 2019, we completed the sale of our DaVita Medical Group (DMG) business to Optum, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group Inc. As a result of this transaction, DMG's results of operations have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented and DMG is not included below in this Management's Discussion and Analysis.

COVID-19 and its impact on our business

~~As a caregiving organization, we are exposed to and~~We expect that COVID-19 will continue to ~~be impacted by the effects of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. DaVita’s teammates include, among others, dialysis nurses, patient care technicians, social workers, dieticians~~impact our business and ~~other caregivers who are on the front lines of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic providing essential, life-sustaining care for our patients. During this time of great challenge, our top priorities~~financial performance during 2021 and we continue to ~~be the health, safety and well-being of~~closely monitor these various impacts on our patients, teammates, ~~and~~ physician partners, suppliers, vendors, business partners and ~~helping~~the economic and political environment. The magnitude of these impacts remains difficult to ~~ensure that~~predict and subject to significant uncertainty due to a number of factors, including, among others, the ultimate 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; its impact on the chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient population and our ~~patients have~~patient population; the ~~ability~~availability, acceptance, impact and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines and other treatments or therapies; the pandemics' continuing impact on the U.S. and global economies and unemployment; the responses of our competitors to ~~maintain continuity of care throughout this crisis, whether~~the pandemic and related changes in the ~~acute, outpatient or home setting. We have implemented additional protocols in coordination with~~marketplace; and the ~~Centers for Disease Control~~timing, scope and ~~Prevention (CDC) on infection control~~effectiveness of federal, state and ~~clinical best practices in response~~local government responses. The continued impacts and disruptions to COVID-19. In addition, we have been collaborating with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the CDC, the American Society of Nephrology, and dialysis providers nationwide to help ensure that the dialysis community is able to support patients nationwide.

~~We have also maintained~~our business process continuity during the pandemic by enabling most back office teammates to work remotely, and as of the date of this report, we have not experienced any material issues in billing or cash collections. This transition, combined with our balance sheet, has helped us avoid any material deterioration of our liquidity position as a result of the COVID-19 ~~crisis at this time.~~

~~We are closely monitoring the long-term impact of the~~ pandemic ~~and the resulting economic downturn on all aspects of our business, including the~~could have a material adverse impact on our patients, teammates, physician partners, suppliers, ~~vendors~~business, operations, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and/or liquidity.

Operational and ~~business partners. We have~~Financial Impacts

In the first quarter of 2021, treatment volumes reflected continued pressure primarily driven by the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on mortality rates for dialysis patients that has had and expect to continue to have, extended, significant additional costs as a result of COVID-19. For example, we have had, and expect to continue to have, increased costs and risk associated with a high demand for our skilled clinical personnel. Additionally, the steps we have taken designed to help safely maintain continuity of care for our patients and help protect our caregivers, such as our policies to implement dedicated care shifts for patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 and other enhanced clinical practices, have increased, and are expected to continue to increase, our expenses and use of personal protective equipment. Our response to COVID-19 has resulted in higher salary and wage expense, and we have provided, and may provide in the future, substantial financial support to our teammates to cover some of the costs related to COVID-19. Furthermore, the effort needed to procure certain of our equipment and clinical supplies and associated costs have increased. These efforts are part of a wider Prepare, Prevent and Respond protocol that we have implemented in connection with the pandemic, which also includes operational initiatives such as the redistribution of teammates, machines and supplies across the country as needed and increased investment in and utilization of telehealth capabilities. Our COVID-19 response has reduced certain expenses, such as those related to teammate travel, and the pandemic has also delayed certain of our planned capital expenditures. Certain temporary changes made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic could become permanent, which could have an adverse impact on our business.

~~We have observed and expect to continue to observe~~ a negative impact on ~~revenue and non-acquired growth from COVID-19 due to lower treatment volumes, including from the impact of changes in rates of mortality, as well as a decrease in new~~our patient admissions due to the impact of COVID-19 on the chronic kidney disease (CKD) population. Over the longer term, we believe that changes in mortality in both the CKD and ESRD populations due to COVID-19 will depend primarily on the infection rate, case fatality rate and age and health status of affected patients. At this time we cannot reasonably estimate the magnitude or duration of this impact, due in part to testing and reporting limitations, but this adverse impact could be material.census. Because ~~our~~ ESRD patients may be older and generally have comorbidities, several of which are risk factors for COVID-19, we believe the mortality rate of infected patients is, and will continue to be, higher in the dialysis population than in the general ~~population.~~ population, and COVID-19 also could impact the CKD population differently. COVID-19 case counts and new infections within our dialysis population have significantly declined from the peak prevalence rates experienced during the winter surge in late 2020 and early 2021. Over the longer term, we believe that changes in mortality in both the CKD and ESRD populations due to COVID-19 will depend primarily on the infection rate, case fatality rate, the age and health status of affected patients, the access to and efficacy of vaccinations as well as willingness to be vaccinated. We expect that these changes are likely to continue to negatively impact our revenue and non-acquired growth even as the pandemic subsides. However, determining the extent to which these impacts should be directly attributable to COVID-19 is difficult due to testing and reporting limitations, and other factors that may drive treatment volumes and new admissions over time, such as the number of transplants or deferred admissions. The magnitude of these cumulative impacts has been substantial, and depending on the ultimate severity and duration of the pandemic, could be material.

We continued to experience increased costs in the first quarter of 2021 due in part to the protocols and initiatives we implemented in response to COVID-19 to help us safely maintain continuity of care for patients. Among other things, we continued to incur higher salary and wage expense and experienced significant cost inflation on PPE in the first quarter of 2021, though certain of these costs have decreased as a whole since the peak of the most recent COVID-19 surge in the fourth quarter of 2020. We believe that the cost of these medical supplies will remain elevated at least through the end of the year due to limited supply and high demand. In addition, as we have done in prior periods, we may provide substantial financial support associated with relief reimbursement to our teammates in the future. As our COVID-19 response continues, we expect to continue to incur extended and significant additional costs. On the other hand, our COVID-19 response has reduced certain other expenses, such as those related to teammate travel, though it remains uncertain how much of these reductions, if any, will persist after the pandemic subsides.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to contain the virus have led to global economic deterioration and rapid and sharp increases in unemployment levels, which ultimately could result in a materially reduced share of our patients being covered by commercial insurance plans, with more patients being covered by lower-paying government insurance programs or being uninsured. These effects may persist after the pandemic subsides ~~and~~as, among other things, our patients could experience permanent changes in their insurance coverage as a result of changes to their employment status. In the event such a material reduction occurs ~~we believe that~~in the share of our patients covered by commercial insurance plans, it would have a material adverse impact on

our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Despite the broader economic conditions in the U.S. in the three months ended March 31, 2021, our commercial mix in the first quarter of 2021 was slightly improved as compared to our commercial mix in the first quarter of 2020, which we believe was largely due to the fact that older, higher-risk patients who tend to disproportionately have government health insurance coverage, have been more adversely impacted by COVID-19 to date. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our commercial mix will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and difficult to predict.

Federal, State and Local Government Response

The government response to COVID-19 has been wide-ranging and will continue to develop over time, particularly in light of the new federal administration. As a result, we may not be able to accurately predict the nature, timing or extent of the impact of such changes on the markets in which we conduct business or on the other participants that operate in those markets, or any potential changes to the extensive set of federal, state and local laws, regulations and requirements that govern our business. We have worked with certain government agencies to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in certain cases have sought waivers of regulatory requirements. We also have contracted with the federal government for direct administration of COVID-19 vaccines to our patients and teammates at our clinics. These vaccines are currently available under emergency use authorizations, and there can be no assurance that our patients and caregivers will choose to receive a COVID-19 vaccine or that the vaccines will prove to be as safe and effective as currently understood by the scientific community. In addition, we may encounter difficulties with the availability and storage of the vaccines, or experience other complications related to administering the vaccines, some of which have multiple dose requirements. We operate in a complex and highly regulated environment, and the novel nature of our COVID-19 response, including, for example, with respect to regulatory waivers and our administration of the newly developed COVID-19 vaccines, may increase our exposure to legal, regulatory and clinical risks.

Federal COVID-19 relief legislation suspended the 2% Medicare sequestration from May 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021, and in the three months ended March 31, 2021 our revenues increased due to this suspension as further described below. The Medicare Sequester Relief Act, signed into law on April 14, 2021, extended the suspension of the 2% Medicare sequestration from March 31, 2021 until December 31, 2021. While in effect, the suspension of sequestration has significantly increased, and will continue to significantly increase our revenues. At the state government level, a bill was recently introduced in California in connection with the ongoing COVID-19 state of emergency that would require health care employers with more than 100 employees to pay all non-executive employees a recognition bonus each quarter in 2022, with the amounts specified by employee status (i.e., full-time, part-time, per diem). The bill, AB 650, which was sponsored by the Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West, remains subject to change through the course of the legislative process. Additionally, though not directly related to COVID-19, another bill, HB 2322, was recently introduced in Oregon that specifically targets the dialysis industry and would impose a rate cap on private pay reimbursement for dialysis. If signed into law and implemented in substantially their current forms, these bills could have a significant adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. ~~The~~

~~global nature of the pandemic may have varying impacts on our ongoing operations outside the United States as well as our ability to expand our operations into other parts of the world.~~

We believe the ultimate impact of this public health crisis on the Company will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and difficult to predict, including among other things the severity and duration of the pandemic, the impact on our patient population, the pandemic’s continuing impact on the U.S. and global economies and unemployment, and the timing, scope and effectiveness of federal, state and local governmental responses. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the ultimate impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on us, but the adverse impact could be material.

A significant initial part of the federal government response to the COVID-19 pandemic was the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, a $2 trillion economic stimulus package that was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act authorized $100 billion in funding to be distributed to healthcare providers through the federal Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (Provider Relief Fund). Under the CARES Act, in April 2020 the government distributed approximately $250 million to the Company and its affiliated joint ventures from the Provider Relief Fund, and these funds were only to be used for healthcare related expenses or lost revenues attributable to COVID-19. While we elected not to accept the funds available to us through this government financial support and returned these funds in May 2020, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to forego the receipt of financial or other assistance under the CARES Act or similar subsequent legislation or that similar assistance will be available from the government if we have a need for such assistance in the future.

The CARES Act also included a provision that suspended the 2% Medicare sequestration from May 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, and in the second quarter of 2020 our revenues increased due to this suspension as further described below. We continue to estimate that this temporary suspension will increase our revenues while it remains in effect.

U.S. dialysis revenues for the ~~second~~first quarter of 2021 decreased from the fourth quarter of 2020 primarily due to a decrease in dialysis treatments, partially offset by an increase in our average patient service revenue per treatment. The decrease in our U.S. dialysis treatments was primarily driven by two fewer treatment days, higher mortality and missed treatments caused by the winter storms in the first quarter of 2021. We believe the increased mortality is largely attributable to the impact of COVID-19 on our patient population. Our U.S. dialysis average patient service revenue per treatment was positively impacted by favorable changes in government rates related to an increase in the Medicare base rate in 2021 and the inclusion of calcimimetics in the Medicare bundle, favorable changes in government mix due to shifts to Medicare Advantage plans, as well as favorable changes in commercial mix and increased hospital inpatient dialysis revenue driven by COVID-19, partially offset by a seasonal decline from co-insurance and deductibles.

Our U.S. dialysis treatments increased primarily due to volume growth from acquired and non-acquired treatment growth, partially offset by the deconsolidation of two dialysis partnerships, as described below under the heading "Equity investment income". These increases were partially offset by a decline in Medicare rates related to calcimimetics.

U.S. dialysis revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased from the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in dialysis treatments and an increase in our average patient service revenue per treatment. The increase in our U.S. dialysis treatments was driven by one additional treatment day in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and volume growth from acquired and non-acquired treatment growth, partially offset by the deconsolidation of the two dialysis partnerships, as described below under the heading "Equity investment income".

In July 2020, CMS issued a proposed rule to update the Medicare ESRD Prospective Payment System payment rate and policies. Among other things, the proposed rule outlines the inclusion of calcimimetics in the ESRD bundled payment, the transitional drug add-on payment to certain new renal dialysis drugs and biological products, and amends the reporting measures in 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 2021.

General and administrative expenses. U.S. dialysis general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2021 decreased from the ~~second~~fourth quarter of 2020 primarily due to decreases in costs related to COVID-19, including a decrease in compensation expenses, as well as decreases in contributions to our charitable foundation and professional fees.

U.S. dialysis general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2021 increased from the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to an increase in ~~compensation~~labor costs ~~including COVID-19-related compensation, as well as increases in legal~~related to increased headcount and ~~consulting costs.~~labor rates, and increased professional fees.

U.S. dialysis equity investment income for the second quarter of 2020 increased from the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to the deconsolidation of two of our near 50%-owned dialysis partnerships at year-end 2019, based on a reassessment of relative rights and powers over these partnerships. Our portion of these partnerships' earnings are now recognized in equity investment income. This increase in equity investment income was partially offset by a decrease in the profitability of certain joint ventures.

U.S. dialysis equity investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased from the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to the deconsolidation of two dialysis partnerships at year-end 2019, as described above.

Other—Ancillary services

Our other operations include ancillary services ~~which~~that are primarily aligned with our core business of providing dialysis services to our network of patients. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, these consisted primarily of integrated care and disease management, ESRD seamless care organizations (ESCOs), clinical research programs and physician services, as well as our international operations. These ancillary services, including our international operations, ~~for~~generated revenues of approximately $261 million in the ~~second quarter of 2020 generated approximately $245 million of revenues, representing approximately 8% of our consolidated revenues, and for the six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020 generated approximately $506 million of revenues,~~March 31, 2021, representing approximately 9% of our consolidated ~~revenues.~~revenues for the period. If any of our ancillary services, ~~or strategic initiatives,~~ such as our international operations, are unsuccessful, it could have a negative impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, and we may determine to exit that line of business, which could result in significant termination costs. In addition, we have in the past and may in the future incur material restructuring, write-off or impairment charges on our investment in one or more of these ancillary services, including ~~our investments in~~ goodwill.

We expect to add additional service offerings to our business and to pursue ~~additional strategic initiatives~~other ancillary service opportunities in the future as circumstances warrant, which could include, among other things, healthcare services not related to dialysis.

As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, our international dialysis operations provided dialysis and administrative services through a total of ~~287~~323 outpatient dialysis centers located in ten countries outside of the United States.

~~Goodwill impairment charges.~~ During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $41 million in our German kidney care business. This charge resulted primarily from a change in relevant discount rates, a decline in then current and expected future patient census and an increase in then current and expected future costs, principally due to wage increases expected to result from legislation announced at that time. See further discussion of this impairment charge and our reporting units that remain at risk of goodwill impairment in Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Debt expense

Debt expense for the ~~second~~first quarter of 2021 increased from the fourth quarter of 2020 as a result of completing an unregistered add-on offering of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount to our existing 4.625% senior notes due June 1, 2030 (the Additional 2030 Notes) and higher average borrowings under the revolving line of credit, which increased interest expense for the quarter.

See Note 86 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the components of our debt.

Debt refinancing charges

The three months ended March 31, 2020 include $3 million of refinancing charges comprised partially of fees incurred on the repricing of our Term Loan B and partially of deferred financing costs written off for the portion of this debt considered extinguished and reborrowed.

Other income (loss)

Other income (loss) consists primarily of interest income on cash and cash equivalents and short- and long-term investments, realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized on investments, and foreign currency transaction gains and losses.

Other income ~~increased~~ for the ~~second~~first quarter of 2021 decreased from the fourth quarter of 2020 primarily due to a decrease in gains recognized on investments in addition to recognized losses on foreign currency transactions in the first quarter of 2021 compared to recognized gains in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Effective income tax rate

The effective income tax rate for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 was relatively flat ~~compared to~~from the ~~first~~fourth quarter of 2020.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests

The decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the first quarter of 2021 from the fourth quarter of 2020 was primarily due to decreased earnings at certain U.S. dialysis partnerships. The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020 compared to~~2021 from the first quarter of 2020 was primarily due to improved earnings at certain U.S. dialysis partnerships ~~in the second quarter of 2020, including, among other things,~~and reimbursements we made to certain of our U.S. dialysis partnerships for certain ~~COVID-19-~~COVID-19-related expenses.

related expenses. The decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019 was primarily due to the deconsolidation of two dialysis partnerships at year-end 2019, as described above. The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to improved earnings at certain U.S. dialysis partnerships, partially offset by the deconsolidation of the two dialysis partnerships.

Accounts receivable

Our consolidated accounts receivable balances at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020 were ~~$1.772~~$2.041 billion and ~~$1.796~~$1.824 billion, respectively, representing approximately ~~57 days~~66 and 5859 days sales outstanding (DSO), respectively, net of allowances for uncollectible accounts. ~~The decrease in consolidated~~Consolidated DSO ~~was~~increased primarily due to ~~improved collections from certain payors, partially offset by a delay~~temporary billing holds related to winter storms and changes in ~~billing to certain other payors.~~calcimimetics reimbursement.

The~~increase~~ decrease in operating cash flows ~~from continuing operations~~ was primarily driven by an increase in ~~operating results~~total DSO of seven days for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020 as~~March 31, 2021 compared toan increase of one day for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019, as well as lower cash taxes and~~March 31, 2020, in addition to timing of other working capital items. The six months ended June 30, 2020 were positively impacted by one less day in DSO in our U.S. dialysis business compared to that for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which was negatively impacted by a three day increase in DSO in our U.S. dialysis business.

Free cash flow ~~from continuing operations~~ during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020 increased~~March 31, 2021 decreased from the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 primarily due to ~~an increase~~a decrease in net cash provided by operating activities as described ~~above, a decrease in capital expenditures for development, a decrease in~~above.

Other significant sources of cash ~~outflows for acquisitions and an increase in~~included proceeds from the ~~sale of self-developed properties, partially offset by an increase in net distributions to noncontrolling interests.~~

~~Other significant changes in sources and uses of cash included our~~ issuance of ~~$1.750~~$1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of ~~4 ⅝%~~the Additional 2030 Notes as an add-on offering to our 4.625% senior notes due 2030 that were issued at an offering price of 101.750% of face amount, and other significant uses of cash included the repayment in ~~June 2020, a $500 million draw on~~full of borrowings under our revolving line of credit induring the first quarter of ~~2020 and the subsequent repayment in full of our revolving line of credit in the second quarter of 2020.~~2021. Other net debt payments during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 primarily consisted of regularly scheduled mandatory principal payments under our senior secured credit facilities totaling approximately $22 million on Term Loan A and ~~$14~~$7 million on Term Loan B-1 and additional required principal payments under other debt arrangements. In addition, we incurred bond issuance costs of approximately ~~$20~~$8 million in cash. See further discussion in Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements related to our debt financing activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 we used cash to repurchase 2,949,482 shares of our common stock.

By comparison, the same period in 2020 included a net draw on our revolving line of credit of $500 million. Net debt payments during the first quarter of 2020 primarily consisted of regularly scheduled mandatory principal payments under our senior secured credit facilities totaling approximately $11 million on Term Loan A and $7 million on Term Loan B-1 as well as additional required principal payments under other debt arrangements. In addition, we incurred refinancing costs related to the repricing of our Term Loan B-1 of approximately $3 million. ~~See further discussion in Note 8 to~~For the ~~condensed consolidated financial statements related to debt financing activities.~~

By comparison, the same period in 2019 included the receipt of $4.465 billion in preliminary net cash proceeds from Optum at close of the DMG sale, or $3.825 billion net of cash and restricted cash included in DMG net assets sold, and net prepayments of $1.164 billion on debt in the sixthree months ended ~~June 30, 2019. Net debt payments primarily consisted~~March 31, 2020 we used cash to repurchase 4,052,298 shares of ~~the mandatory payments of term debt under~~ our senior secured credit facility funded by all of the net proceeds from the DMG sale, net of advances on our revolving line of credit.

Available liquidity

As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had an undrawn $1.0 billion revolving line of credit under our senior secured credit facilities. Credit available under this revolving line of credit is reduced by the amount of any letters of credit ~~outstanding. There~~outstanding thereunder, but there are currently no letters of credit outstanding under ~~the senior secured credit facilities.~~this facility. We separately have approximately ~~$57~~$65 million of outstanding letters of credit under a separate bilateral secured letter of credit facility.

See Note 6 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 ~~unsecured~~ debt financings or other capital alternatives.

On July 15, 2020, we used the net proceeds from the 4 ⅝% senior notes due 2030 that we issued in June 2020, together with cash on hand, to redeem in full all $1.750 billion aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 5 ⅛% senior notes due 2024, plus accrued interest and redemption premium. In connection with this transaction we incurred debt redemption premium charges of $30 million and deferred financing costs write-offs of $10 million, which will be recognized in the third quarter of 2020, along with advisory costs incurred in connection with this redemption.

~~See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for components of our long-term debt and their interest rates.~~

The COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to prevent its spread have dramatically reduced global economic activity and driven increased volatility in the financial markets. We have maintained business process continuity during the COVID-19 pandemic by enabling most back office teammates to work remotely, and as of the date of this report, we have not experienced ~~any material issues in billing or cash collections. This transition, combined with our balance sheet, has helped us to avoid any~~ material deterioration ofin our liquidity position as a result of the COVID-19 ~~crisis at this time.~~crisis. In addition, we elected not to accept approximately $250 million in funds available to us through the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund and returned ~~these~~the funds we received in May 2020. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to ~~forego~~forgo the receipt of financial or other assistance under the CARES Act or similar subsequent legislation or that similar assistance will be available from the

government if we have a need for such assistance in the future. The ultimate impact of the pandemic will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and difficult to predict.

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.~~borrowings, which are subject to general, economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control, as described in Item 1A Risk Factors of our 2020 10-K.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures

The following tables provide reconciliations of adjusted operating income to operating income 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. ancillary services, our international business, and for our total ancillary services which combines them and is disclosed as our other segments category. These non-GAAP or “adjusted” measures are presented because management believes these measures are useful adjuncts to, but not alternatives for, our GAAP results.

Specifically, management uses adjusted operating income 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 from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc. ~~excludes~~excluding 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,~~In addition, our free cash flow ~~from continuing operations~~ represents net cash provided by operating activities, ~~from continuing operations~~ 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 ~~leaseback proceeds.~~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 ~~from continuing operations~~ and other measures under ~~GAAP.~~U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

These non-GAAP or “adjusted” measures are presented because management believes these measures are useful adjuncts to our GAAP results. 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 ~~potential~~certain working capital funding obligations associated with our equity investments in nonconsolidated ~~businesses and to~~ dialysis ventures that we manage and some that we manage which are wholly-owned by third parties.

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. IfFor additional information on these ~~put provisions were exercised,~~obligations and how we would be required to purchase the third-party owners’ equity interests, generally at the appraised fair market value of the equity interests or in certain cases at a predetermined multiple of earnings or cash flows attributablemeasure and report them, see Note 12 to the equity interests put to us, intended to approximate fair value. The methodology we use to estimate the fair values of noncontrolling interests subject to put provisions assumes the higher of either a liquidation value of net assets or an average multiple of earnings, based on historical earnings, patient mixcondensed consolidated financial statements and other performance indicators that can affect future results, as well as other factors. The estimated fair values of noncontrolling interests subject to put provisions are a critical accounting estimate that involves significant judgmentsNote 17 and assumptions and may not be indicative of the actual values at which the noncontrolling interests may ultimately be settled, which could vary significantly from our current estimates. The estimated fair values of noncontrolling interests subject to put provisions can fluctuate and the implicit multiple of earnings at which these noncontrolling interests obligations may be settled will vary significantly depending upon market conditions including potential purchasers’ accessNote 24 to the capital markets, which can impact the level of competition for dialysis and non-dialysis related businesses, the economic performance of these businesses and the restricted marketability of the third-party owners’ equity interests. The amount of noncontrolling interests subject to put provisions that employ a contractually predetermined multiple of earnings rather than fair value are immaterial.

~~We also have certain other potential commitments to provide operating capital to several dialysis businesses that are wholly-owned by third parties or~~consolidated financial statements included in ~~which we own a noncontrolling equity interest as well as to certain medical practices that we operate under management and administrative services agreements.~~our 2020 10-K.

For information on the maturities and other terms of our long term debt, see Note 86 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

We have an agreement with Fresenius Medical Care (FMC) to purchase a certain amount of dialysis equipment, parts and supplies from FMC through December 31, 2020. We also have an agreement with Baxter Healthcare Corporation (Baxter) that commits us to purchase a certain amount of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis supplies at fixed prices through 2022. If we fail to meet the minimum purchase commitments under these contracts during any year, we are required to pay the difference to the supplier.

In addition to the commitments listed above, in 2017 we entered into a sourcing and supply agreement with Amgen USA Inc. (Amgen) that expires on December 31, 2022. Under the terms of this agreement, we will purchase EPO from Amgen in amounts necessary to meet no less than 90% of our requirements for ~~erythropoiesis stimulating~~erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) through the expiration of the ~~contract with Amgen.~~contract. The actual amount of EPO that we will purchase will depend upon the amount of EPO administered during dialysis as prescribed by physicians and the overall number of patients that we serve.

The purchase commitments in the table above represent our agreements with various suppliers to purchase set amounts of dialysis equipment, parts, and supplies. If we fail to meet the minimum purchase commitments under these contracts during any year, we are required to pay the difference to the supplier.

Settlements of existing income tax liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits of approximately ~~$85~~$90 million, including interest, penalties and other long-term tax liabilities, are excluded from the table above as reasonably reliable estimates of their timing cannot be made.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~In addition~~There have been no material changes to ~~the following risk factor and the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider~~ the risk factors ~~discussed~~previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K ~~(our Form~~(2020 10-K) for the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020 filed with Securities and Exchange Commission. You should carefully consider the risks included in ~~Part II, Item 1A of~~ our 2020 10-K, together with all the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, ~~(our Q1 10-Q) for~~including the ~~quarter ended March 31, 2020 and any subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)~~, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or future results. The risks and uncertainties discussed below, in our Form 10-K, our Q1 10-Q and in any subsequent filings with the SEC are not the only ones facing our business. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may materially adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition and/or results of operations. The risk factor below updates, and should be read together with, the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of our Q1 10-Q. Please also read the cautionary notice regarding forward-looking statements in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

~~Changes in federal and state healthcare legislation or regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.~~

The extensive federal and state laws, regulations and requirements that govern our business may continue to change over time, and there is no assurance that we will be able to accurately predict the nature, timing or extent of such changes or the impact of such changes on the markets in which we conduct business or on the other participants that operate in those markets.

For example, the government response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been wide-ranging and will continue to develop over time. We believe that associated changes to federal and state laws, regulations and requirements may continue to impact our business in a variety of ways, including with respect to the availability of government financial assistance, social distancing guidelines and other restrictions on physical business operations, and temporary regulatory waivers or other changes to regulatory operating guidance at our clinics. Certain temporary changes made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic could become permanent, which could have an adverse impact on our business. For additional detail on the risks we face associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, see the discussion under the risk factor in our Q1 10-Q, “~~We face various risks related to the dynamic and rapidly evolving novel coronavirus pandemic, any of which may have a material adverse impact on us.~~”

In addition, the regulatory framework of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care Reconciliation Act of 2010, as amended (ACA), and other healthcare reforms continues to evolve as a result of executive, legislative, regulatory and administrative developments and judicial proceedings. As such, there remains considerable uncertainty surrounding the continued implementation of the ACA and what similar healthcare reform measures or other changes might be enacted at the federal and/or state level. While legislative attempts to completely repeal the ACA have been unsuccessful to date, there have been multiple attempts to repeal or amend the ACA through legislative action and legal challenges. For example, in March 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review a decision by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals as to whether the individual mandate, which required individuals to obtain a qualifying health insurance plan, was unconstitutional and whether the mandate could be severed from the ACA. This litigation is still ongoing, but places great uncertainty upon the longevity and nature of the ACA moving forward.

While there may be material changes to the healthcare environment in the future, including, without limitation, as a result of potential changes to the political environment in connection with the current election year or otherwise, the specific changes and their timing are not yet apparent. Nevertheless, previously enacted reforms and future changes, including among others, any changes in legislation, regulation or market conditions in connection with or resulting from the upcoming elections, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. For example, our revenue levels are highly sensitive to the percentage of our patients with higher-paying commercial health insurance, and as such, legislative, regulatory or other changes that decrease the accessibility and availability, including the duration, of commercial insurance may have a material adverse impact on our business. The ACA's health insurance exchanges, which provide a marketplace for eligible individuals and small employers to purchase health insurance, initially increased the accessibility and availability of commercial insurance. However, certain legislative developments, such as the repeal of the

individual mandate described above, have adversely impacted the risk pool in certain exchange markets, and the nature and extent of commercial payor participation in the exchanges has fluctuated as a result. In the event the exchange markets are significantly impaired or if the ACA is repealed in its entirety, it may adversely impact the percentage of our patients with higher-paying commercial health insurance, particularly if patients impacted by the pandemic related high unemployment levels are unable to turn to the exchanges as an alternative to employer based coverage. These and other proposed legislative developments or administrative decisions, such as moving to a universal health insurance or "single payor" system whereby health insurance is provided to all Americans by the government under government programs, or the lowering or eliminating of cost-sharing reduction subsidies under the ACA, could impact the percentage of our patients with higher-paying commercial health insurance, impact the scope of coverage under commercial health plans and increase our expenses, among other things. Although we cannot predict the short- or long-term effects of legislative or regulatory changes or the potential outcome or impact of the upcoming elections, we believe that future market changes could result in, among other things, more restrictive commercial plans with lower reimbursement rates or higher deductibles and co-payments that patients may not be able to pay. To the extent that changes in statutes, regulations or related guidance or changes in other market conditions result in a reduction in the percentage of our patients with commercial insurance, limit the scope or nature of coverage through the exchanges or other health insurance programs or otherwise reduce reimbursement rates for our services from commercial and/or government payors, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. For additional information on the impact of legislative or regulatory changes on the percentage of our patients with commercial insurance, see the risk factor in our 10-K under the heading ~~"If the number of patients with higher-paying commercial insurance declines, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows."~~

In addition to the ACA, changing legislation and other regulatory and executive developments have led to the emergence of new models of care and other initiatives in both the government and private sector. Any failure on our part to adequately implement strategic initiatives to adjust to these marketplace developments could have a material adverse impact on our business. For example, the July 10, 2019 executive order (the 2019 Executive Order) related to kidney care directed CMS to create payment models to evaluate the effects of creating payment incentives for the greater use of home dialysis and kidney transplants for those already on dialysis. CMS subsequently announced in a proposed rule the ESRD Treatment Choices (ETC) mandatory payment model, which will be administered through the CMMI and is proposed to launch in 50% of dialysis clinics across the country, with an implementation date currently listed with a final action date of July 2022. Under the proposed rule, which was subject to a comment period that ended in September 2019, CMS would select ESRD facilities and clinicians to participate in the model according to their location in randomly selected geographic areas and would require participation to minimize the potential for selection effect. We support the administration’s emphasis on and move towards home dialysis and kidney transplant; however, we believe that if launched as proposed, the ETC model would negatively impact patient clinical care, Medicare coverage and/or payment for ESRD claims and, depending on the final requirements of the ETC model, ultimately could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. With home dialysis as a focus of the ETC model and the industry generally, any failure to successfully implement our strategy or build on our abilities to offer home dialysis options could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operation, financial condition and cash flows. For additional detail on the risks related to our home dialysis services, see the discussion in our 10-K under the heading "If we are not able to successfully implement our strategy with respect to home-based dialysis, including maintaining and further developing our capabilities in a complex and highly regulated environment, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, and could materially harm our reputation."

In connection with the 2019 Executive Order, CMS also announced the implementation of four voluntary payment models with the stated goal of helping healthcare providers reduce the cost and improve the quality of care for patients with late-stage chronic kidney disease and ESRD. CMS has stated these payment models are aimed to prevent or delay the need for dialysis and encourage kidney transplantation. These payment models are currently scheduled to begin in April 2021, with applicants now having the option to delay implementation until January 2022. Additional details and specifics of these voluntary models have not yet been provided, and we anticipate that such details will be released in the second half of 2020. Though we have applied for, and been provisionally accepted to participate in certain of these voluntary models, we continue to assess these models and their viability for us and the industry, and our assessment and ultimate determination regarding whether or not to participate will continue to develop over time as additional details become available.

In addition, CMMI is currently working with various healthcare providers to develop, refine and implement Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and other innovative models of care for Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, including, without limitation, the Comprehensive ESRD Care Model (CEC Model) (which includes the development of end stage renal disease (ESRD) Seamless Care Organizations), the Duals Demonstration, and other models. We are currently participating in the CEC Model with CMMI, including with organizations in Arizona, Florida, and adjacent markets in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. We may choose to participate in additional models either as a partner with other providers or independently. Even in areas where we are not directly participating in these or other CMMI models, some of our patients may be assigned to an ACO,

~~another ESRD Care Model, or another program, in which case the quality and cost of care that we furnish will be included in an ACO's, another ESRD Care Model's, or other program's calculations.~~

~~CMS has also recently issued final implementing rules related to the 21~~^st ~~Century Cures Act (the Cures Act). The Cures Act,~~ enacted in December 2016, included a provision that, effective January 1, 2021, will allow Medicare-eligible beneficiaries with ESRD to choose to obtain coverage under a Medicare Part C Medicare Advantage (MA) managed care plan, which could broaden access to certain enhanced benefits offered by MA plans. MA plans usually provide reimbursement to us at a negotiated rate that is generally higher than Medicare fee-for-service rates. We continue to evaluate the potential impact of this change in benefit eligibility, as there is significant uncertainty as to how many or which newly eligible ESRD patients will seek to enroll in MA plans for their ESRD benefits and how quickly any such changes would occur. This uncertainty may be heightened by components of the aforementioned final implementing rules, which include a provision that, among other things, removes the objective standards relating to network adequacy for outpatient dialysis centers for MA plans. The removal of these standards could result in MA plans seeking to limit provider networks available to dialysis patients. We joined a legal challenge contesting the removal of these objective time and distance standards. If implemented for the 2021 enrollment period, MA plans could attempt to limit the number of in-network dialysis alternatives available to patients, which may in turn adversely impact the number of ESRD patients that select MA plans. If kidney patients choose not to enroll in MA plans or choose to leave MA plans, whether due to network adequacy standards or otherwise, or if we fail to provide education to kidney patients in the manner specified by CMS, we could be subject to certain clinical, operational, financial and legal risks, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, if we fail to maintain contracts with payors with competitive terms, including reimbursement rates, scope and duration of coverage and in-network benefits, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In addition to the aforementioned new models of care, federal bipartisan legislation related to full capitation demonstration for ESRD was proposed in late 2017. Such legislation, if formally introduced into Congress, would build on prior coordinated care models, such as the CEC Model, and would establish a demonstration program for the provision of integrated care to Medicare ESRD patients. We have made and continue to make investments in building our integrated care capabilities, but there can be no assurances that initiatives such as this or similar legislation will be introduced or passed into law, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may delay the progress of such initiatives. If such legislation is passed, there can be no assurances that we will be able to successfully execute on the required strategic initiatives that would allow us to provide a competitive and successful integrated care program on the broader scale contemplated by this legislation, and in the desired time frame. Additionally, the ultimate terms and conditions of any such potential legislation remain unclear. For example, our costs of care could exceed our associated reimbursement rates under such legislation. The new and evolving landscape for integrated kidney care also has led to opportunities with relative ease of entry for certain smaller and/or non-traditional providers, which may be enhanced by the ongoing global health crisis, and we may be competing with them for patients in an asymmetrical environment with respect to data and/or regulatory requirements given our status as an ESRD service provider. For additional detail on our evolving competitive environment, see the risk factor in our 10-K under the heading "If we are unable to compete successfully, including, without limitation, implementing our growth strategy and/or retaining patients and physicians willing to serve as medical directors, it could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows." In general, if we are unable to efficiently adjust to these and other new models of care, it may, among other things, erode our patient base or reimbursement rates, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operation, financial condition and cash flows.

There have also been several state initiatives to limit payments to dialysis providers or impose other burdensome operational requirements, which, if passed, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operation, financial condition and cash flow. For example, on October 24, 2019, the Service Employees International Union - United Healthcare Workers West (SEIU) proposed a California statewide ballot initiative for the November 2020 election that seeks to impose certain regulatory requirements on dialysis clinics, including requirements related to physician staffing levels, clinical reporting, clinical treatment options and limitations on the ability to make decisions on closing or reducing services for dialysis clinics. We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur costs in connection with this new initiative (Proposition 23), which will be included on the ballot for the November 2020 election, and we expect that these costs will be substantial. In the event that Proposition 23 is passed, it would materially increase our operating and other costs and reduce our revenues, and we expect it would require us to close or consolidate existing dialysis centers, postpone or not build new dialysis centers, reduce shifts or otherwise negatively impact employee relations, treatment growth and productivity, and could otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Additionally, there can be no assurances that we would be successful in staffing our clinics to any new, elevated staffing levels, in particular given the ongoing nationwide shortage of healthcare workers, especially skilled clinical personnel, and the continuing pandemic. Similar initiatives were also proposed in Ohio and Arizona in the 2018 election cycle; however, neither of these initiatives met the

applicable requirements for inclusion on the state ballot for the November 2018 elections. We may face similar ballot initiatives or other proposed regulations or legislation in the future in these or other states.

There have also been rule making and legislative efforts at both the federal and state level concerning charitable premium assistance. In December 2016, CMS published an interim final rule that questioned the use of charitable premium assistance for ESRD patients and would have established new conditions for coverage standards for dialysis facilities. In January 2017, a federal district court in Texas issued a preliminary injunction on CMS' interim final rule and in June 2017, at the request of CMS, the court stayed the proceedings while CMS pursues new rulemaking options. In June 2019, CMS sent to the White House Office of Management and Budget a proposed rule entitled ~~"Conditions for Coverage for End-Stage Renal Disease Facilities-Third Party Payments."~~ We do not know if or when this proposed rule will be released. In addition, on October 13, 2019, a California bill (AB 290) was signed into law that limits the amount of reimbursement paid to certain providers for services provided to patients with commercial insurance who receive charitable premium assistance. AB 290 was expected to become effective in January 2020. The American Kidney Fund (AKF), an organization that provides charitable premium assistance, announced that it would be withdrawing from California as a result of AB 290. On November 1, 2019, AKF filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging the law on several grounds. A group of providers, including DaVita, also filed a lawsuit challenging the law in federal court on November 5, 2019. The parties to each suit also filed motions for preliminary injunctions shortly after filing the lawsuits, seeking to prevent AB 290’s implementation during litigation. On December 30, 2019, the district court granted a preliminary injunction. The preliminary injunction will remain in place until a final judgment is made in the case, which is ongoing.

In the event AB 290 becomes effective and the AKF withdraws from California, we expect an adverse impact on the ability of patients to afford Medicare premiums and Medicare supplemental (Medigap) and commercial coverage, which we expect will in turn result in an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, bills similar to AB 290 were introduced in Illinois (SB 650) and Oregon (SB 900) in 2019, but have not been successfully passed to date. If these or similar bills are introduced and implemented in other jurisdictions, and organizations that provide charitable premium assistance in those jurisdictions are similarly impacted, it could in the aggregate have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. For additional information on the impact of decreases to the percentage of our patients with commercial insurance, see the risk factor in our 10-K under the heading ~~"If the number of patients with higher-paying commercial insurance declines, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows".~~

Among other things, regulatory guidance, proposed legislation and ballot initiatives and any similar initiatives could restrict or prohibit the ability of patients with access to alternative coverage from selecting a marketplace plan on or off exchange, limit the amount of revenue that a dialysis provider can retain for caring for patients with commercial insurance, impose burdensome operational requirements, affect payments made to providers for services provided to patients who receive charitable premium assistance and/or otherwise restrict or prohibit the use of charitable premium assistance, or reduce the standards for network adequacy. In turn, these potential impacts could cause us to incur substantial costs to oppose any such proposed requirements or measures, impact our dialysis center development plans, and if passed and/or implemented, could adversely impact dialysis centers across the U.S. making certain centers economically unviable, lead to the closure of certain centers, restrict the ability of dialysis patients to obtain and maintain optimal insurance coverage and reduce the number of patients that select commercial insurance plans or MA plans for their dialysis care, among other things. Evolving proposed or issued laws, requirements, rules and guidance that impact our business, including as may be described above, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
