Recent press releases and 8-K filings for DVA.
- On November 24, 2025, DaVita entered into an Eighth Amendment to its Credit Agreement, replacing its prior $1.95 billion term loan and $1.5 billion revolving facility with a new five-year $2 billion Term A-2 facility and a $1.5 billion revolving facility maturing in 2030.
- Borrowings under the new facilities bear interest at the Base Rate + 50 bps or Term SOFR + 150 bps, with margins resetting to 0–175 bps after delivery of Q1 2026 financials; the Term A-2 facility amortizes quarterly starting March 31, 2026.
- Proceeds will refinance the prior facilities, cover amendment fees, and be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including potential stock repurchases and acquisitions.
- 2025 volume down 1%, driven by a severe flu season in Q1 and a cyber incident in Q2, with core dialysis growth running roughly –25 to –50 bps after adjusting for non-core impacts.
- Mortality remains elevated by over 100 bps versus pre-COVID levels, and mistreatment rates run at ~7%, about 100 bps above historical norms, both exacerbated by flu and cyber disruptions.
- New patient starts are volatile but remain within their pre-COVID range, and there is no observable impact from GLP-1 therapies on admission trends.
- For 2026, the focus is on reducing mortality through enhanced clinical operations—longer therapy duration, improved pharmaceuticals, and new dialysis technologies—to drive volume recovery alongside ~3% top-line growth via a balanced mix of rate and volume improvements.
- 2025 challenges: faced a 1% volume decline due to a tough flu season in Q1 and a cyber incident in Q2, which also pressured revenue per treatment, yet full-year guidance was maintained.
- Mortality and mistreatments remain elevated, with mortality >100 bps above pre-COVID and mistreatment rates around 7% versus 6% historically; focus is on clinical improvements and new dialytic technologies to drive volume recovery.
- New patient starts have stayed within the pre-COVID range, and the Q4 2024 dip linked to GLP-1 was deemed noise with no sustained impact observed.
- 2026 outlook targets ~3% U.S. dialysis revenue growth through mortality improvements and balanced price/volume contributions, while expiration of enhanced premium tax credits is expected to create a $40 million headwind.
- 2025 volume down 1% due to a severe Q1 flu season and a Q2 cyber incident, driven primarily by elevated mortality and mistreatment rates, yet DaVita maintained full-year guidance.
- Mortality remains over 100 bps above pre-COVID levels, and mistreatment rates run at ~7% versus a historical ~6%, underscoring the need to reduce patient mortality to drive future volume growth.
- The anticipated expiration of enhanced premium tax credits is expected to create a ~$40 million headwind in 2026, based on a 1% mix shift from exchanges and an assumption that one-third of those patients retain commercial coverage.
- DaVita targets a 3.0–3.5× leverage range, funding share repurchases with excess free cash flow; ~$1 billion of buybacks have been executed year-to-date, with disciplined M&A continuing to be a secondary use of capital.
- Q3 adjusted operating income of $517 million, adjusted EPS of $2.51, and free cash flow of $604 million.
- U.S. dialysis treatments per day declined 1.5% year-over-year in Q3 2025.

- Year-to-date share repurchases of ~10 million shares (~$1.5 billion) and ended Q3 with leverage at 3.37x consolidated EBITDA.
- Continued investment in technology infrastructure and AI—including clinical platform upgrades and revenue operations—expected to drive long-term cost efficiencies despite near-term G&A growth.
- DaVita delivered Q3 adjusted operating income of $517 million, adjusted EPS of $2.51, and free cash flow of $604 million; U.S. treatments per day declined 1.5% year-over-year, while revenue per treatment rose ~$6 sequentially.
- Reaffirmed full-year guidance: adjusted operating income of $2.035 billion to $2.135 billion and adjusted EPS of $10.35 to $11.15, with narrowed ranges at the midpoints.
- Repurchased 3.3 million shares in Q3 (plus 0.4 million post-quarter), totaling ~10 million shares year-to-date (~$1.5 billion) and maintained leverage at 3.37× EBITDA.
- Continued investments in AI-enabled technology infrastructure—enhancing the next-gen clinical platform, scheduling systems, and revenue operations—to improve patient care, drive cost efficiencies, and support long-term growth.
