U.S. dialysis metrics:
Volume: Total U.S. dialysis treatments for the second quarter of 2026 were 7,226,600, or an average of 92,649 treatments per day, representing a per day increase of 1.09% compared to the first quarter of 2026. Normalized non-acquired treatment growth in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 was 0.3%.
| Three months ended | Quarter change | | Six months ended | Year to date change |
|---|
| June 30, 2026 | March 31, 2026 | | June 30, 2026 | | June 30, 2025 | | |
|---|
| (dollars in millions, except per treatment data) |
|---|
| Revenue per treatment | $415.87 | $417.59 | $(1.72) | | $416.71 | | $402.38 | $14.33 |
| Patient care costs per treatment | $277.40 | $280.11 | $(2.71) | | $278.74 | | $270.05 | $8.69 |
| General and administrative | $331 | $320 | $11 | | $651 | | $595 | $56 |
Primary drivers of the changes in the table above were as follows:
Revenue: The quarter change was primarily driven by changes in payor mix and other normal fluctuations partially offset by seasonal impact of co-insurance and deductibles and an increase in average rates. The year to date change was driven by typical annual increases, including Medicare base rate and other normal fluctuations, partially offset by changes in payor mix.
Patient care costs: The quarter change was primarily due to decreases in payroll taxes and pharmaceutical costs, partially offset by increased health benefits expenses. Additionally, our fixed direct operating expenses favorably impacted patient care costs per treatment due to increased treatments in the second quarter. The year to date change was primarily driven by increased compensation expenses, insurance costs and health benefits expenses.
General and administrative: The quarter change was primarily due to increased professional fees. The year to date change was primarily driven by increases in IT-related costs and compensation expenses partially offset by costs related to the cybersecurity incident experienced by the Company in 2025.
Certain items impacting the quarter:
Debt transaction. In June 2026, we entered into the Ninth Amendment to our senior secured credit agreement. The Ninth Amendment extends an incremental Term Loan B-2 tranche in the aggregate principal amount of $500 million. A portion of the net proceeds from this transaction was used to repay a portion of the balance outstanding on our revolving line of credit and related accrued interest and fees. The remaining borrowings added cash to the balance sheet for general corporate purposes.
Share repurchases. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased 2.2 million shares for $348 million, at an average price paid of $154.95 per share.
Subsequent to June 30, 2026 through August 4, 2026, the Company has repurchased 0.2 million shares of our common stock for $37 million at an average price paid of $199.55 per share.

Center activity: As of June 30, 2026, we provided dialysis services to a total of approximately 298,500 patients at 3,266 outpatient dialysis centers, of which 2,671 centers were located in the United States and 595 centers were located in 14 countries outside of the United States.
Integrated kidney care (IKC): As of June 30, 2026, we had approximately 64,900 patients in risk-based integrated care arrangements representing approximately $5.8 billion in annualized medical spend. We also had an additional 5,700 patients in other integrated care arrangements; we do not include the medical spend for these patients in this annualized medical spend estimate. For an additional description of these metrics, see footnote 5 in the "Supplemental Financial Data" table below.
Outlook:
The following forward-looking measures and the underlying assumptions involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including those described below, and actual results may vary materially from these forward-looking measures. We do not provide guidance for operating income or diluted net income per share attributable to DaVita Inc. or operating cash flow on a basis consistent with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) nor a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. These current non-GAAP financial measures do not include certain items, including foreign currency fluctuations, which may be significant. The guidance for our effective income tax rate on adjusted income attributable to DaVita Inc. also excludes the amount of third-party owners' income and related taxes attributable to non-tax paying entities.

(5)Integrated care metrics: The aggregate amount of medical spend associated with risk-based integrated care arrangements that we disclose includes both medical costs included in our reported expenses for certain risk-based arrangements (such as our SNPs), as well as the aggregate estimated benchmark amount above or below which we will incur profit or loss from value-based care (VBC) arrangements under which third-party medical costs are not included in our reported results. A number of our VBC contracts are subject to complex or novel patient attribution mechanics and benchmark adjustments, some of which are based on information not reported to us until periods after we report our quarterly results. As a result, our estimates of our patients under, and the dollar amount of, our value-based contracts remain subject to estimation uncertainty.

Calculation of the Leverage Ratio
Under our amended senior secured credit facilities (the Amended Credit Agreement) dated June 8, 2026 and our prior senior secured credit facilities, the leverage ratio is defined as (a) all funded debt, minus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (including short-term investments) divided by (b) "Consolidated EBITDA." The leverage ratio determines the interest rate margin payable by the Company for its Term Loan A-2 and revolving line of credit under the Amended Credit Agreement by establishing the margin over the base interest rate (SOFR plus credit spread adjustment) that is applicable. The calculation below is based on the last 12 months of "Consolidated EBITDA" and "Consolidated net debt" at the end of each reported period, each as defined in the credit agreement that was in effect at the end of each such period (the Applicable Credit Agreement). The calculation of "Consolidated EBITDA" below sets forth, among other things, certain pro forma adjustments described in the Applicable Credit Agreement, including, pro forma adjustments for acquisitions or divestitures that occurred during the period and certain projected net cost savings, expense reductions and cost synergies. These pro forma adjustments are determined according to specified criteria set forth in the Applicable Credit Agreement, and as a result, the total adjustments calculated may not be comparable to the Company's estimates for other purposes, including as operating performance measures. The Company's management believes the presentation of "Consolidated EBITDA" is useful to investors to enhance their understanding of the Company's leverage ratio under the Applicable Credit Agreement and should not be evaluated for any other purpose. The leverage ratio calculated by the Company is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered a substitute for the ratio of total debt to operating income, determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company's calculation of its leverage ratio might not be calculated in the same manner as, and thus might not be comparable to, similarly titled measures of other companies.

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As used in this press release, the term "adjusted" refers to non-GAAP measures as follows, each as reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure as presented in the non-GAAP reconciliations in the notes to this press release: (i) for income and expense measures, the term "adjusted" refers to operating performance measures that exclude certain items such as, but not limited to, cybersecurity costs, impairment charges, gains or losses on ownership changes, restructuring charges, accruals for legal matters, and debt extinguishment and modification costs; and (ii) the term "effective income tax rate on adjusted income attributable to DaVita Inc." represents the Company’s effective tax rate excluding applicable non-GAAP items and the tax associated with them as well as noncontrolling owners’ income, which primarily relates to non-tax paying entities.
These non-GAAP or "adjusted" measures are presented because management believes these measures are useful adjuncts to GAAP results. However, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered alternatives to the corresponding measures determined under GAAP.
Specifically, management uses adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to DaVita Inc. and adjusted diluted net income per share attributable to DaVita Inc. to compare and evaluate our performance period over period and relative to competitors, to analyze the underlying trends in our business, to establish operational budgets and forecasts and for incentive compensation purposes. We believe these non-GAAP measures also are useful to investors and analysts in evaluating our performance over time and relative to competitors, as well as in analyzing the underlying trends in our business. Furthermore, we believe these presentations enhance a user's understanding of our normal consolidated results by excluding certain items which we do not believe are indicative of our ordinary results of operations. As a result, adjusting for these amounts allows for comparison to our normalized prior period results.
The effective income tax rate on adjusted income attributable to DaVita Inc. excludes noncontrolling owners' income and certain non-deductible and other charges which we do not believe are indicative of our ordinary results. Accordingly, we believe these adjusted effective income tax rates are useful to management, investors and analysts in evaluating our performance and establishing expectations for income taxes incurred on our ordinary results attributable to DaVita Inc.
Finally, free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less distributions to noncontrolling interests, development capital expenditures, and maintenance capital expenditures; plus contributions from noncontrolling interests and proceeds from the sale of self-developed properties. Management uses this measure to assess our ability to fund acquisitions and meet our debt service obligations and we believe this measure is equally useful to investors and analysts as an adjunct to cash flows from operating activities and other measures under GAAP.
It is important to bear in mind that these non-GAAP "adjusted" measures are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, nor as substitutes for, their most comparable GAAP measures.

We have excluded these charges from our non-GAAP metrics as we do not believe they are indicative of our ordinary results of operations.
(2)Represents the write-down of a tax receivable related to a 2014 tax refund claim. The claim related to estimated tax expense associated with a legal matter previously presented as a non-GAAP adjustment. We have excluded this charge from our non-GAAP metrics because, among other things, we do not believe it is indicative of our ordinary results of operations because the charge is significant and may obscure analysis of underlying trends and financial performance of our current business.
(3)Maintenance capital expenditures represent capital expenditures to maintain the productive capacity of the business and include those made for investments in information technology, dialysis center renovations, capital asset replacements, and any other capital expenditures that are not development or acquisition expenditures.
(4)Development capital expenditures principally represent capital expenditures (other than acquisition expenditures) made to expand the productive capacity of the business and include those for new U.S. and international dialysis center developments, dialysis center expansions and relocations, and new or expanded contracted hospital operations.
