There are significant uncertainties associated with estimating revenue, which generally take several years to resolve. These estimates are subject to ongoing insurance coverage changes, geographic coverage differences, differing interpretations of contract coverage and other payor issues, as well as patient issues, including determination of applicable primary and secondary coverage, changes in patient insurance coverage and coordination of benefits. As these estimates are refined over time, both positive and negative adjustments to revenue are recognized in the current period.
Dialysis patient service revenues. Revenues are recognized based on the Company’s estimate of the transaction price the Company expects to collect as a result of satisfying its performance obligations. Dialysis patient service revenues are recognized in the period services are provided based on these estimates.

As dialysis treatments are an essential, life-sustaining service for patients who depend on them, the Company's operations have continued 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 such as the Delta variant), its impact on 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.

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 this COVID-19 pandemic on the Company will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and difficult to predict, 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 such as the Omicron variant and its subvariants; COVID-19's impact on the chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient population and the Company's patient population, including on the mortality of these patients; the availability, acceptance, impact and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, treatments, and therapies; the pandemic's continuing impact on the Company's revenue and non-acquired growth due to lower treatment volumes, the U.S. and global economies, labor market conditions, interest rates, inflation and unemployment,monetary policies, as well as the Company's ability to successfully implement cost savings initiatives in response; the potential negative impact on the Company's commercial mix or the number of patients covered by commercial insurance plans; continued increased COVID-19-related costs; supply chain challenges and disruptions; the responses of the Company's competitors to the pandemic and related changes in the marketplace, andmarketplace; the timing, scope and effectiveness of federal, state and local governmental responses.government responses to the pandemic; and any potential changes to the extensive set of federal, state and local laws, regulations and requirements that govern the Company's business. 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, 2021.2022. 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 20202021 10-K, NaNnone of the Company's various other reporting units were considered at risk of significant goodwill impairment as of June 30, 2021.2022.

The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year is primarily due to an increase in tax benefits from stock-based compensation deductions in the second quarter of 2021 as well as a reduction in nondeductible advocacy expenses in 2021.

On February 26, 2021, the Company completed an unregistered add-on offering of $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount to the existing 4.625% senior notes due June 1, 2030 (the Additional 2030 Notes) pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Additional 2030 Notes were issued at an offering price of 101.750% of face amount, plus an interest payment advance to the Company for interest that would have accrued from December 1, 2020 (the last interest payment date) through the closing date, and began bearing full six months' semi-annual coupon interest payments as of June 1, 2021. The terms of the Additional 2030 Notes, other than their issue date, offering price and first interest payment date, are identical to the terms of the $1,750,000 principal amount of the Company’s 4.625% Senior Notes due June 1, 2030 previously issued by the Company on June 9, 2020.

As of June 30, 2021,2022, 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 Term Loan B-1 and a portion of Term Loan A. The remaining $842,603$727,672 outstanding principal balance of Term Loan A isand the $425,000 balance outstanding on the revolving line of credit are subject to LIBOR-based interest rate volatility. These cap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges and, as a result, changes in thetheir 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 features.

8.7.    Commitments and contingencies
The majority of the Company’s revenues are from government programs and may be subject to adjustment as a result of: (i) examination by government agencies or contractors, for which the resolution of any matters raised may take extended periods of time to finalize; (ii) differing interpretations of government regulations by different Medicare contractors or regulatory authorities; (iii) differing opinions regarding a patient’s medical diagnosis or the medical necessity of services

provided; and (iv) retroactive applications or interpretations of governmental requirements. In addition, the Company’s revenues from commercial payors may be subject to adjustment as a result of potential claims for refunds, as a result of government actions or as a result of other claims by commercial payors.
The Company operates in a highly regulated industry and is a party to various lawsuits, demands, claims, qui tam suits, governmental investigations (which frequently arise from qui tam suits) and audits (including, without limitation, investigations or other actions resulting from its obligation to self-report suspected violations of law) and other legal proceedings, including, without limitation, those described below. The Company records accruals for certain legal proceedings and regulatory matters to the extent that the Company determines an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company’s total recorded accruals with respect to legal proceedings and regulatory matters, net of anticipated third party recoveries, were immaterial. While these accruals reflect the Company’s best estimate of the probable loss for those matters as of the dates of those accruals, the recorded amounts may differ materially from the actual amount of the losses for those matters, and any anticipated third party recoveries for any such losses may not ultimately be recoverable. Additionally, in some cases, no estimate of the possible loss or range of loss in excess of amounts accrued, if any, can be made because of the inherently unpredictable nature of legal proceedings and regulatory matters, which also may be impacted by various factors, including, without limitation, that they may involve indeterminate claims for monetary damages or may involve fines, penalties or non-monetary remedies; present novel legal theories or legal uncertainties; involve disputed facts; represent a shift in regulatory policy; are in the early stages of the proceedings; or may result in a change of business practices. Further, there may be various levels of judicial review available to the Company in connection with any such proceeding.
The following is a description of certain lawsuits, claims, governmental investigations and audits and other legal proceedings to which the Company is subject.

For reconciliations of changes in contingent earn-out obligations and noncontrolling interests subject to put provisions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, see Note 1110 and the consolidated statement of equity, respectively.
Investments in equity securities represent investments in various open-ended registered investment companies (mutual funds) and common stocks some of which are held within a trust to fund existing obligations associated with several of the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plans. These investmentsand are recorded at fair value estimated based on reported market prices or redemption prices, as applicable. See Note 4 for further discussion.
Interest rate cap agreements are recorded at fair value estimated from valuation models utilizing the income approach and commonly accepted valuation techniques that use inputs from closing prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as other relevant observable market inputs at quoted intervals such as current interest rates, forward yield curves, implied volatility and credit default swap pricing. The Company does not believe the ultimate amount that could be realized upon settlement of these interest rate cap agreements would be materially different from the fair value estimates currently reported. See Note 76 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), revenue and certain operating metrics. The estimated fair values of these contingent earn-out obligations are remeasured as of each reporting date and could fluctuate based upon any significant changes in key assumptions, such as changes in the Company's credit risk adjusted rate that is used to discount obligations to present value. See Note 1110 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, 2021,2022, an increase or decrease in the weighted average multiple used in these valuations of one times EBITDA would change the estimated fair value of these noncontrolling interests by approximately $180,000.$175,000. See NoteNotes 17 and Note 24 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the 20202021 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 76 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, 20212022 at their approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of their settlements.

15.14.    New accounting standards
New standards recently adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued 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. The amendments in this ASU became effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the 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 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. Effective January 1, 2022 certain LIBOR tenors that do not affect the Company, including the one-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR rate, ceased or became non-representative. The remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR tenors will cease or become non-representative effective July 1, 2023. This change will have no impact on the Company's ability to borrow. The Company is currently assessing the effectother effects this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Acquired Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities. ASU 2021-08 requires application of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to recognize and measure assets and liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. This ASU creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle in ASC 805 and will result in recognition of contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Forward-looking statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains statements that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws and as such are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for "forward-looking statements" provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements could include, among other things, DaVita's response to and the expected future impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), including statements about our balance sheet and liquidity, our expenses and expense offsets, revenues, potential need, ability or willingness to use any funds under government relief programs,billings and collections, availability or cost of supplies, treatment volumes, mix expectation, such as the percentage or number of patients under commercial insurance, the availability, acceptance, impact, administration and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, treatments and other treatments or therapies, the continuing impact on the U.S. and global economies, unemployment and labor market conditions, and overall impact on our patients and teammates, as well as other statements regarding our future operations, financial condition and prospects, expenses, strategic initiatives, government and commercial payment rates, expectations related to value-based care, and integrated kidney care and Medicare Advantage plan enrollment, and our ongoing stock repurchase program. All statements in this report, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, statements including the words "expect," "intend," "will," “could,” "plan," "anticipate," "believe" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

DaVita undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changed circumstances, new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. Actual future events and results could differ materially from any forward-looking statements due to numerous factors that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things:

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 variousour U.S. integrated kidney care (IKC) business, our other U.S. ancillary services, includingand 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 presentedCOVID-19, General Economic and DMG is not included below in this Management's DiscussionMarketplace Conditions, and Analysis.Legal and Regulatory Developments
The COVID-19 and its impact on our business
We expect that COVID-19 will continuepandemic continues to impact our business and financial performance during 2021 andoperations. In addition, we continue to closely monitorbe impacted by general conditions in the global economy, including challenges with respect to supply chains, inflation and wage pressure, among other things. Certain of these various impacts could be further intensified by concurrent global events such as COVID-19 lockdowns in portions of China or the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the latter of which has resulted in increasing levels of sociopolitical and economic uncertainty and volatility in Europe and across the globe. In addition, we are monitoring the situation around the recent spread of the monkeypox virus and have worked with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to develop related protocols.Legal and regulatory developments may also impact our business and operations, such as the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling related to the Medicare Secondary Payer Act (MSPA), as well as the commencement of price transparency regulation enforcement.
Operational and Financial Impacts
As part of our continued focus on the health, safety and well-being of our patients, teammates and physician partners, suppliers, vendors, business partnerswe have continued to dedicate substantial resources in response to COVID-19, including the implementation of additional protocols and initiatives to help safely maintain continuity of care for our patients and help protect our caregivers. Cases resulting from the economicOmicron variant and political environment.subvariants required us to continue to implement dedicated care shifts for patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 and other enhanced clinical practices, including procuring additional equipment and clinical supplies, such as personal protective equipment (PPE).
During the second quarter of 2022, these ongoing clinical measures have continued to strain staffing in an already challenging labor market. Additionally, as a result of these ongoing COVID-19-related clinical measures, in combination with general labor, supply chain and inflationary pressures, we have incurred higher incentive pay, increased utilization of contract labor, and inefficient productivity. In addition, during 2022, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience increased labor costs. The cumulative impact of the foregoing will continue to put additional pressure on our cost structure, some of which is expected to abate with the decline of the impact of COVID-19. Potential staffing shortages or disruptions, if material, could ultimately lead to the unplanned closures of certain centers or adversely impact clinical operations, and may otherwise have a material adverse impact on our ability to provide dialysis services or the cost of providing those services, among other things. Prolonged volatility, uncertainty, labor supply shortages and other challenging labor market conditions, including, among other things, due to inflationary pressures or evolving monetary policies that may be independent of the COVID-19 pandemic, could also have an adverse impact on our growth and ability to execute on our other strategic initiatives and a material adverse impact on our labor costs.
These inflationary pressures and evolving monetary policies, as well as ongoing global supply chain challenges, also have more broadly impacted our supply and other costs, and may continue to drive certain increased expenses, including, among other things, with respect to other medical and other supplies and interest expense. We continue to identify and implement cost savings opportunities to help mitigate these pressures, including potential cost savings related to G&A efficiencies, capacity utilization improvement and procurement, including certain pharmaceutical supplies. However, there is no assurance that these initiatives will achieve expectations or otherwise be successful, or succeed in helping offset the impact of these challenging conditions, which could impact our ability to provide dialysis services or the cost of providing those services, among other things, and ultimately could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Our COVID-19 response has reduced certain expenses, such as those related to teammate travel, though it remains uncertain how much of these reductions, if any, will persist as our teammates return to their respective office locations.
In the second quarter, treatment volumes continued to reflect the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on mortality rates and missed treatments for dialysis patients which has had a negative impact on our patient census. While the mortality rates associated with the latest Omicron and subvariants surge preliminarily appear to be lower than in prior surges, the magnitude of the case increases has resulted in an increased level of excess patient mortalities through the course of this surge. We expect that the impact of COVID-19 is likely to continue to negatively impact our revenue and non-acquired growth for a period of time even as the pandemic subsides due to the compounding impact of mortalities, among other things. Depending on the ultimate severity and duration of the pandemic, the magnitude of these cumulative impacts remainscould have a material adverse
23


impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In light of the cumulative impact of these excess mortalities and these other marketplace dynamics and economic conditions that have, in some cases, been intensified by the pandemic, we are seeking to identify and implement cost savings opportunities as noted above, and any failure on our part to appropriately adjust our business and operations in this manner could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows and could materially harm our reputation.
Federal, State and Local Government COVID-19 Response
Federal COVID-19 relief legislation suspended the 2% Medicare sequestration from May 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021. The Protecting Medicare and American Farmers from Sequester Cuts Act, signed into law on December 10, 2021, extended the suspension of the 2% Medicare sequestration from December 31, 2021 through March 31, 2022, with 1% Medicare sequestration in effect from April 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022 and 2% Medicare sequestration in effect beginning July 1, 2022. While in effect, the suspension of sequestration significantly increased our revenues.
We believe the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 public health crisis on the Company will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and difficult to 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, such as the Delta variant; COVID-19’sOmicron variant and its subvariants; COVID-19's impact on the chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient population and our patient population;population, including on the mortality of these patients; the availability, acceptance, impact and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, and other treatments orand therapies; the pandemic'spandemic’s continuing impact on our revenue and non-acquired growth due to lower treatment volumes, the U.S. and global economies, labor market conditions, interest rates, inflation and unemployment;monetary policies, as well as our ability to successfully implement cost-savings initiatives in response; the potential negative impact on our commercial mix or the number of patients covered by commercial insurance plans; continued increased COVID-19-related costs; supply chain challenges and disruptions; the responses of our competitors to the pandemic and related changes in the marketplace; and the timing, scope and effectiveness of federal, state and local government responses. The continued impacts and disruptions to our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse impact on our patients, teammates, physician partners, suppliers, business, operations, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and/or liquidity.
Operational and Financial Impacts
In the first six months 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 a negative impact on our patient census. Because 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 has been higher in the dialysis population than in the general 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 in light of vaccination efforts. Although we have experienced an uptick in case counts over the last several weeks, we have had lower mortality counts on an absolute basis over the quarter to date, which we believe may be attributable to our vaccinated patients being protected from more severe cases of COVID-19. 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 continued efficacy of vaccinations as well as willingness to be vaccinated. We expect that the impact of COVID-19 is 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 significant, and depending on the ultimate severity and duration of the pandemic, could be material.
We continued to experience increased costs in the first six months of 2021 due in partresponses to the protocolscontinuing pandemic; 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 experience significant cost inflation on PPE in the first six months of 2021, though certain costs related to our COVID-19 response have decreased since the peak of the 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 and more teammates return to their respective office locations.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to contain the virus 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
25


being uninsured. These effects may persist after the pandemic subsides 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 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 June 30, 2021, our commercial mix in the second quarter of 2021 was improved as compared to our commercial mix in the second quarter of 2020. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our commercial mix will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. As referenced above, despite improving indicators in certain sectors of the U.S. economy as compared to earlier periods of the pandemic, the labor market continues to experience volatility and uncertainty. This volatility and uncertainty has impacted, and may continue to impact, our ability to attract and retain employees, particularly clinical personnel. Prolonged volatility and uncertainty in the labor market, including, among other things, due to inflationary pressures or evolving monetary policies, could have an adverse impact on our labor costs and our ability to execute on our strategic initiatives, and ultimately could have a material adverse impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
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 toIn many cases, the COVID-19impact of the 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 toaforementioned global economic and marketplace conditions on 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 thatbusiness may persist after the vaccines will prove to be as safe and effective as currently understood by the scientific community, particularly as it may relate to variants of the virus. 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. Certain state and federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) agencies have released requirements, or are considering or are in the process of modifying existing requirements associated with the continued protection of employees as it relates to COVID-19. These requirements will result in increased costs related to, among other things, PPE, fit-testing, and paid time off and other increased obligations with which we must comply. 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, our administration of the newly developed COVID-19 vaccines and our efforts to comply with evolving rules and regulations, 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. 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.pandemic subsidies.

Our U.S. dialysis treatment volume is directly correlated with our operating revenues for the second quarter of 2021 increased from the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to an increase in dialysis treatments and an increase in our average patient service revenue per treatment.expenses. The increase in our U.S. dialysis treatments for the second quarter of 2022 from the first quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by one additional treatment day and fewer missed treatments, the latter of which were highertreatments.

Ourour U.S. dialysis average patient service revenue per treatment was positively impacted by favorable changes in government mix and rate, including increases due to shifts to Medicare Advantage plans, and normal seasonal improvements driven by patients meeting their co-insurance and deductibles. These increases were partially offset by a decline in hospital inpatient dialysis revenue.

Patient care costs. U.S. dialysis patient care costs are those costs directly associated with operating and supporting our dialysis centers and consist principally of compensation expenses including labor and benefits, pharmaceuticals, medical supplies and other operating costs of our dialysis centers.
U.S. dialysis patient care costs per treatment for the second quarter of 20212022 decreased from the first quarter of 20212022 primarily driven by decreases in labor costs driven by a decline in hospital inpatient treatments, a seasonal decrease in payroll taxes as well as declines in professional fees and health benefit expenses. These decreases were partially offset by increases indue to decreased other direct operating expenses associated with our dialysis centers, including decreased utilities expense resulting from the lower expense in the first quarter of 2021 that was relateddue to seasonality and our virtual power purchase arrangements, as well as increases in medical supply expense and insurance expense.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is directly impacted by the number of dialysis centers we develop and acquire. U.S. dialysis depreciation and amortization expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 20212022 decreased compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021 increased2022 primarily due to growtha decline in the number of dialysis centers we operated in the second quarter of 2021 as well as depreciation expensesand amortization related to corporate technology projects, partially offset by increased depreciation from the completionrollout of an information technology project.our new clinical system in May 2022.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2022 we expect depreciation and amortization expenses to increase as a result of recognizing a full quarter of depreciation for our new clinical system.
Equity investment income. U.S. dialysis equity investment income was relatively flat for the second quarter of 2021 increased from2022 compared to the first quarter of 20212022 and from the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to an increase in profitability at our nonconsolidated joint ventures.

Other—Ancillary services
Our other operations include ancillary services that are primarily aligned with our core business of providing dialysis services to our network of patients. As of June 30, 2021,2022, these consisted primarilyprincipally of our U.S. integrated kidney care and disease management,(IKC) business, certain U.S. other ancillary businesses (including our clinical research programs, transplant software business, and physician services, as well asventure investment group), and our international operations.
These ancillary services including our international operations, generated revenues of approximately $261$283 million and $523$548 million in the second quarter of 20212022 and six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, respectively, representing approximately 9%10% of our consolidated revenues in both periods.
As part of our growth strategy, we have invested, and expect to continue to invest, significant resources in the further development of value-based care and our integrated care business.business and value-based care initiatives. There can be no assurances that we will be able to successfully implement our strategies with respect to value-based care and integrated kidney care in the desired time frame and in a complex, evolvingdynamic and highly regulated environment, and we face risks including, among other things, those related to maintaining our existing business, recovering our investments, entering into agreements with payors, physicians, third party vendors and others on terms that are competitive, terms,and as appropriate, that prove actuarially sound; structuring these agreements and arrangements to comply with evolving rules and regulations, including, among other things, rules and regulations related to the use of protected health information; and further developing our operational, IT and other capabilities to enable us to provide competitive programs at scale. If our value-based care and integrated kidney care programs are unsuccessful, it could result in a loss of our investments and have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, and could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Furthermore, if any of our other ancillary services, such as our international operations, are unsuccessful, itthis 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 or loss of investment. 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 goodwill.
We expect to add additional service offerings or product lines to our business and to pursue other ancillary serviceopportunities. While these opportunities in the future as circumstances warrant, which could include, among other things, healthcare services not related to dialysis.dialysis, we have focused our ongoing efforts on opportunities with strong strategic links to kidney care, dialysis or integrated kidney care.
As of June 30, 2021,2022, our international dialysis operations provided dialysis and administrative services through a total of 331349 outpatient dialysis centers located in ten11 countries outside of the United States.

The COVID-19 pandemic, and efforts to prevent its spread, and other government actions intended to support those efforts have dramatically impacted 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 material deterioration in our liquidity position as a result of the COVID-19 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 the funds we received in May 2020. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to 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 areremain 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, 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 20202021 10-K.
Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures
The following tables provide reconciliations of adjusted operating income (loss) to operating income (loss) as presented on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis for our U.S. dialysis reportable segment as well as for our U.S. 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 (loss) to compare and evaluate our performance period over period and relative to competitors, to analyze the underlying trends in our business, to establish operational budgets and forecasts and for incentive compensation purposes. We believe this non-GAAP measure is also useful to investors and analysts in evaluating our performance over time and relative to competitors, as well as in analyzing the underlying trends in our business. We also believe this presentation enhances a user's understanding of our normal operating income by excluding certain items which we do not believe are indicative of our ordinary results of operations.
In addition, our effective income tax rate on income from continuing operations attributable to DaVita Inc. excludesexcluding 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 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).
It is important to bear in mind that these non-GAAP “adjusted” measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, nor as substitutes for, their most comparable GAAP measures.

Off-balance sheet arrangements and aggregate contractual obligations
In addition to the debt obligations and operating lease liabilities reflected on our balance sheet, we have commitments associated with letters of credit, as well as certain working capital funding obligations associated with our equity investments in nonconsolidated dialysis ventures that we manage and some that we manage which are wholly-owned by third parties. For additional information see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
We also have potential obligations to purchase the noncontrolling interests held by third parties in many of our majority-owned dialysis partnerships and other nonconsolidated entities. These obligations are in the form of put provisions that are exercisable at the third-party owners’ discretion within specified periods as outlined in each specific put provision. For additional information on these obligations and how we measure and report them, see Note 1312 to the condensed consolidated financial statements and NoteNotes 17 and Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 20202021 10-K.

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 agents (ESAs) through the expiration of the 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.
TheAs of June 30, 2022, we have outstanding 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.supplier, as described further in Note 17 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the 2021 10-K.

In addition, we have approximately $43 million of existing income tax liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, of approximately $92 million, including interest, penalties and other long-term tax liabilities. Income tax liabilities were reduced from $88 million as of December 31, 2021 to $43 million as of June 30, 2022, primarily due to a partial settlement reached with federal tax authorities for years 2014-2015.
Finally, on May 25, 2022, we entered into an agreement with Medtronic, Inc. and one of its subsidiaries (collectively, Medtronic) to form a new, independent kidney care-focused medical device company (NewCo). The transaction is expected to close in 2023, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. At close, DaVita will make a cash payment to Medtronic of approximately $75 million, subject to certain customary adjustments prior to the closing, and will contribute certain other non-cash assets to NewCo valued at approximately $25 million. Additionally, at close, each of DaVita and Medtronic will contribute approximately $200 million in cash to launch NewCo. DaVita also agreed to pay Medtronic additional consideration of up to $300 million if certain regulatory and commercial milestones are excluded from the table above as reasonably reliable estimates of their timing cannot be made.achieved between 2024 and 2028.

PART II.
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
The information required by this Part II, Item 1 is incorporated herein by reference to the information set forth under the caption “Commitments and Contingencies”contingencies” in Note 87 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changesIn addition 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 previously discloseddiscussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (2020(2021 10-K) for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed2021 and any subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should carefully consider theCommission (SEC), which could materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or future results. The risks includedand uncertainties discussed below, in our 20202021 10-K 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, all the other informationrisk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2021 10-K. Please also read the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including thecautionary 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."
If the number or percentage of patients with higher-paying commercial insurance declines, if the average rates that commercial payors pay us decline, if commercial plans subject patients to restriction in plan designs, or if we are unable to maintain contracts with payors with competitive terms, including, without limitation, 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.
A substantial portion of our U.S. dialysis net patient services revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was generated from patients who have commercial payors as their primary payor. The majority of these patients have insurance policies that pay us on terms and at rates that are generally significantly higher than Medicare rates. As such our revenue and net income levels are sensitive to the number of our patients with higher-paying commercial insurance coverage and the percentage of our patients under higher paying commercial plans relative to government-based programs. The payments we receive from commercial payors generate nearly all of our profit and all of our nonacute dialysis profits come from commercial payors.
When traditional or original Medicare ("Medicare") becomes the primary payor for a patient, the payment rate we receive for that patient decreases from the commercial plan rate to the lower Medicare payment rate. If the number of our patients who have Medicare or another government-based program as their primary payor increases, it could negatively impact the percentage of our patients covered under commercial insurance plans. There are a number of factors that could drive a decline in the number or percentage of our patients covered under commercial insurance plans, including, among others, a continued decline in the rate of growth of the ESRD patient population, improved mortality, changes in the patient's or a family member's employment status, reduced availability of commercial health plans or reduced coverage by such plans through the ACA exchanges or otherwise due to changes to the laws, marketplace, healthcare regulatory system or otherwise. Commercial payors could also cease paying in the primary position after providing 30 months of coverage resulting in potentially material reductions in payment as the patient moves to Medicare primary. Declining macroeconomic conditions could also negatively impact the percentage of our patients covered under commercial insurance plans. To the extent there are job losses in the U.S., we could experience a decrease in the number of patients covered under commercial plans and/or an increase in uninsured and underinsured patients independent of whether general economic conditions improve. If we experience higher numbers of uninsured or underinsured patients, it also would result in an increase in uncollectible accounts.
Our arrangements and negotiations with payors also impact the number or percentage of patients with higher-paying commercial insurance. We continuously are in the process of negotiating existing and potential new agreements with commercial payors who aggressively negotiate terms with us, and we can make no assurances about the ultimate results of these negotiations or the timing of any potential rate changes resulting from these negotiations. Sometimes many significant agreements are being renegotiated at the same time. We believe payor consolidations have significantly increased the negotiating leverage of commercial payors, and ongoing consolidations may continue to increase this leverage in the future. In addition, our agreements and rates with commercial payors may be impacted by new business activities of these commercial payors as well as steps that these commercial payors have taken and may continue to take to control the cost of and/or the eligibility for access to the services that we provide, including, without limitation, relative to products on and off the healthcare
42
39


exchanges. These efforts could impact the number of our patients who are eligible to enroll in commercial insurance plans, and remain on the plans, including plans offered through healthcare exchanges. We continue to experience downward pressure on some of our rates with commercial payors as a result of these and other general conditions in the market, including, among other things, as employers seek to shift to less expensive options for medical services or as commercial payors dedicate increased focus on dialysis services.
Our negotiations with commercial payors may relate to commercial fee-for-service contracts, value-based care (VBC) contracts in which we share risk with commercial payors, as well as contracts to provide dialysis services to Medicare Part C MA patients. If we fail to maintain contracts with payors and other healthcare providers with competitive or favorable terms, either with respect to commercial plans, commercial VBC contracts, MA plans or otherwise, including, without limitation, with respect to reimbursement rates, scope and duration of coverage and in-network benefits, contract term or termination rights, or if we fail to accurately estimate the price for and manage our medical costs in an effective manner, whether due to inflationary pressures or otherwise, such that the profitability of our commercial or other value-based products is negatively impacted, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The ultimate result of our negotiations with payors cannot be predicted as they occur in a highly competitive environment and are influenced by marketplace dynamics such as those previously discussed. Among other things, these negotiations may result in termination or non-renewals of existing agreements, decreases in contracted rates, and reduction in the number of our patients that are covered by commercial plans, and we may not be able to enter into new agreements on competitive terms or at all. In the event that our ongoing negotiations with commercial payors result in overall rates reductions in excess of overall rate increases, the cumulative effect could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, to the extent that these negotiations result in a reduction in the number of our patients covered by plans with commercial payors, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. A material portion of both our commercial revenue and MA revenue is concentrated with a limited number of commercial payors, and any changes impacting our highest paying commercial payors or our relationships with these payors will have a disproportionate impact on us.
Certain payors have been attempting to design and implement plans that restrict access to ESRD coverage both in the commercial and individual market. Among other things, these restrictive plan designs seek to limit the duration and/or the breadth of ESRD benefits, limit the number of in-network providers, set arbitrary provider reimbursement rates, or otherwise restrict access to care, all of which may result in a decrease in the number of patients covered by commercial insurance or the reimbursement rate for ESRD services, among other things. Payors have also disputed the scope and duration of ESRD benefit coverage under their plans, and, among other things, have required patients to seek Medicare coverage for ESRD treatments. On June 21, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision in the matter of Marietta Memorial Hospital Employee Health Benefit Plan, et al. v. DaVita Inc. et al., a case evaluating the scope of the Medicare Secondary Payor Act (MSPA), deciding that a group health plan that provides limited benefits for outpatient dialysis, but does so uniformly for all plan participants, does not violate the terms of the MSPA because the plan treats all patients uniformly, regardless of whether a participant has ESRD and regardless of whether the participant is eligible for Medicare. For additional information, see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report. We cannot reasonably estimate the ultimate impact of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision at this time, as there is significant uncertainty as to, among other things, whether and to what extent payors may seek to design and implement plans to restrict access to ESRD in light of the decision; whether and how regulators and legislators will respond to the decision, including whether they will issue regulatory guidance or adopt new legislation; how courts will interpret other anti-discriminatory provisions that may apply; whether there could be other potential negative impacts of the decision and any resultant plan behavior on our commercial or government mix or the number of our patients covered by commercial insurance; and the timing of each of these items. Irrespective of any legislative or regulatory action in response to the decision, if more plans seek to implement plan designs that discourage or prevent ESRD patients from retaining their commercial coverage, it may lead to a decrease in the number of patients with commercial plans, the duration of benefits for patients under commercial plans and/or a decrease in the payment rates we receive, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
In addition, some commercial payors are pursuing or have incorporated policies into their provider manuals limiting or refusing to accept charitable premium assistance from non-profit organizations, such as the American Kidney Fund, which may impact the number of patients who are able to afford commercial plans. Paying for coverage is a significant financial burden for many patients, and ESRD disproportionately affects the low-income population. Charitable premium assistance supports continuity of coverage and access to care for patients, many of whom are unable to continue working full-time as a result of their severe health condition. Many patients with commercial and government insurance also rely on financial assistance from charitable organizations, such as the American Kidney Fund. Certain payors have challenged our patients' and other providers' patients' ability to utilize assistance from charitable organizations for the payment of premiums, including, without limitation, through litigation and other legal proceedings. The use of charitable premium assistance for ESRD patients has also faced challenges and inquiries from legislators, regulators and other governmental authorities, and this may continue. In addition,
40


CMS or another regulatory agency or legislative authority may issue a new rule or guidance that challenges or restricts charitable premium assistance. If any of these challenges to kidney patients' use of premium assistance is successful or restrictions are imposed on the use of financial assistance from such charitable organizations or if organizations providing such assistance are no longer available such that kidney patients are unable to obtain, or continue to receive or receive for a limited duration, such financial assistance, it may restrict the ability of dialysis patients to obtain and maintain optimal insurance coverage and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, if our assumptions about how kidney patients will respond to any change in financial assistance from charitable organizations are incorrect, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our negotiations and relationships with payors may also be impacted by legislative or regulatory developments and associated legal rulings. For example, the final rules for the 21st Century Cures Act, which are described in detail in Part I, Item 1. Business of the 2021 10-K under the heading "Government Regulation—21st Century Cures Act,"broadened ESRD patient access to certain enhanced benefits offered by MA plans. While these rules increased our MA plan enrollment for ESRD benefits in their first year, the potential ultimate impact of this change in benefit eligibility remains subject to change as market participants continue to adjust to this new regulatory environment. As an example, the removal of objective time and distance standards relating to network adequacy for outpatient dialysis centers for MA plans that was included in the final rules may adversely impact the number of ESRD patients that select MA plans and also may result in the Company not being an in-network provider for significant MA plans in the event MA plans attempt to use this revision to the rules to limit or restrict their networks. 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, recent price transparency regulations require most group health plans and health insurance issuers in the group and individual markets to make certain pricing and patient responsibility information publicly available. For further detail on these regulations, see the discussion in Part I, Item 1. Business of the 2021 10-K under the heading "Government Regulation—Price Transparency Rules." On July 1, 2022, enforcement began of the requirement that plans publish machine readable files that include negotiated rates for all covered items and services with all providers and out-of-network allowed amounts. To comply with these requirements, plans have begun to publish these files and make them available to the public. The information that has been made available to date is highly diverse and complex. While the ultimate impact of these requirements remains uncertain, any changes by group health plans, health insurance issuers in the group and individual markets, or consumer choices resulting from these requirements could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition, and our reputation could be materially harmed. We could also experience a further decrease in the payments we receive for services if changes to the marketplace or the healthcare regulatory system result in fewer patients covered under commercial plans or an increase of patients covered under more restrictive commercial plans, or plans with lower reimbursement rates, among other things. For additional details regarding potential legislative or regulatory changes, the specific risks we face in connection with any decrease in payments we receive for services due to, for example, fewer patients being covered under commercial plans or an increase of patients covered under more restrictive commercial plans, or plans with lower reimbursement rates, please see Part I, Item 1. Business of the 2021 10-K under the heading "Government Regulation" and the discussion in the risk factor included in Part I, Item 1A. of the 2021 10-K under the heading "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."
As noted, the foregoing dynamics of our arrangements and negotiations with commercial payors each may have an impact on, among other things, our ability to enter into and maintain contracts with payors with competitive terms, including, without limitation, reimbursement rates, scope and duration of coverage and in-network benefits as well as the number or percentage of our patients with higher-paying commercial insurance. If, as a result of these or other dynamics, we experience a decline in the average rates that commercial payors pay us or a reduction in the number of patients with ESRD coverage under higher-paying commercial plans either in total or relative to the number of patients under government-based programs that pay at lower rates or an increase in the number of patients that are uninsured or underinsured, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
