NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
(dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)


Unless otherwise indicated in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q "the Company", "we", "us", "our" and similar terms refer to DaVita Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
  
1.
Condensed consolidated interim financial statements
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this report are prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations are reflected in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The most significant estimates and assumptions underlying these financial statements and accompanying notes generally involve revenue recognition and accounts receivable, contingencies, impairments of goodwill and investments, accounting for income taxes, long-term variable compensation accruals, consolidation of variable interest entities and certain fair value estimates. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Prior year balances and amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued and has included all necessary adjustments and disclosures. 
2.
Revenue recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) using the cumulative effect method for those contracts that were not substantially completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning on and after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts continue to be presented in accordance with the Company's historical accounting under Revenue Recognition (Topic 605).
The adoption of this new standard primarily changed the Company’s presentation of revenues, provision for uncollectible accounts and allowance for doubtful accounts. Topic 606 requires revenue to be recognized based on the Company’s estimate of the transaction price the Company expects to collect as a result of satisfying its performance obligations. Accordingly, for performance obligations satisfied after the adoption of Topic 606, the Company no longer separately presents a provision for uncollectible accounts on the consolidated income statement and no longer presents the related allowance for doubtful accounts on the consolidated balance sheet. However, as a result of the Company’s election to apply Topic 606 only to contracts not substantially completed as of January 1, 2018, the Company continues to maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts related to performance obligations satisfied prior to the adoption of Topic 606. Net collections or write-offs of accounts receivable generated prior to January 1, 2018, beyond amounts previously reserved thereon, are presented in the provision for uncollectible accounts on the consolidated income statement in accordance with Topic 605.
The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts related to performance obligations satisfied prior to the adoption of Topic 606 was $110,962 and $218,399 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
There are significant risks 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 determining applicable primary and secondary coverage, changes in patient 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. As a result of changes in these estimates, additional revenue was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 associated with performance obligations satisfied in years prior to the adoption of Topic 606 of $8,817 and $76,227, respectively, which includes a benefit of $12,000 and $36,000 for those respective periods from electing to apply Topic 606 only to contracts not substantially completed as of January 1, 2018.

Other consists of management fees and revenue from the Company's ancillary services and strategic initiatives.
Dialysis and related lab patient service revenues
Dialysis and related lab services patient service revenues are recognized in the period services are provided. Revenues consist primarily of payments from Medicare, Medicaid and commercial health plans for dialysis and related lab services provided to patients. A usual and customary fee schedule is maintained for the Company’s dialysis treatments and related lab patient services; however, actual collectible revenue is normally recognized at a discount from the fee schedule.
Revenues associated with Medicare and Medicaid programs are estimated based on: (a) the payment rates that are established by statute or regulation for the portion of payment rates paid by the government payor (e.g., 80% for Medicare patients) and (b) for the portion not paid by the primary government payor, estimates of the amounts ultimately collectible from other government programs paying secondary coverage (e.g., Medicaid secondary coverage), the patient’s commercial health plan secondary coverage, or the patient. The Company’s reimbursements from Medicare are subject to certain variations under Medicare’s single bundled payment rate system, whereby reimbursements can be adjusted for certain patient characteristics and other factors. The Company’s revenue recognition is estimated based on its judgment regarding its ability to collect, which depends upon its ability to effectively capture, document and bill for Medicare’s base payment rate as well as these other variable factors.
Under Medicare’s bundled payment rate system, services covered by Medicare are subject to estimating risk, whereby reimbursements from Medicare can vary significantly depending upon certain patient characteristics and other variable factors. Even with the bundled payment rate system, Medicare payments for bad debt claims as established by cost reports require evidence of collection efforts. As a result, billing and collection of Medicare bad debt claims can be delayed significantly and final payment is subject to audit.
Medicaid payments, when Medicaid coverage is secondary, can also be difficult to estimate. For many states, Medicaid payment terms and methods differ from Medicare, and may prevent accurate estimation of individual payment amounts prior to billing.
Revenues associated with commercial health plans are estimated based on contractual terms for the patients under healthcare plans with which the Company has formal agreements, non-contracted health plan coverage terms if known, estimated secondary collections, historical collection experience, historical trends of refunds and payor payment adjustments (retractions), inefficiencies in the Company’s billing and collection processes that can result in denied claims for payments, and regulatory compliance matters.
Commercial revenue recognition also involves significant estimating risks. With many larger, commercial insurers the Company has several different contracts and payment arrangements, and these contracts often include only a subset of the Company’s centers. In certain circumstances, it may not be possible to determine which contract, if any, should be applied prior to billing. In addition, for services provided by non-contracted centers, final collection may require specific negotiation of a payment amount, typically at a significant discount from the Company’s usual and customary rates.
Other revenues
Other revenues consist of the revenues associated with the ancillary services and strategic initiatives, management and administrative support services that are provided to outpatient dialysis centers that the Company does not own or in which the Company owns a noncontrolling interest, and administrative and management support services to certain other non-dialysis joint ventures in which the Company owns a noncontrolling interest. Revenues associated with pharmacy services are estimated as prescriptions are filled and shipped to patients. Revenues associated with dialysis management services, disease management services, medical consulting services, clinical research programs, physician services, end stage renal disease (ESRD) seamless care organizations, and comprehensive care are estimated in the period services are provided. Revenues associated with direct primary care are estimated over the membership period.

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company, adjusted for any change in noncontrolling interest redemption rights in excess of fair value, by the weighted average number of common shares, net of shares held in escrow that under certain circumstances may be returned to the Company.
Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of outstanding stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SSARs) and unvested stock units (under the treasury stock method) as well as shares held in escrow that the Company expects will remain outstanding.
The reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

4.
Restricted cash and equivalents
The Company had restricted cash and cash equivalents of $90,884 and $10,686 at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Approximately $78,513 of the balance at June 30, 2018 represents restricted cash equivalents held in trust to satisfy insurer and state regulatory requirements related to the Company's self-insurance for professional and general liability and workers' compensation risks administered by wholly-owned captive insurance entities. Prior to the first quarter of 2018, these requirements were satisfied by a letter of credit rather than restricted cash held in trust. The remaining restricted cash and equivalents held at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 primarily represent cash pledged to third parties in connection with two of the Company's ancillary and strategic initiatives businesses.
5.
Short-term and long-term investments

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in this ASU revise accounting related to (i) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (ii) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities at fair value. The Company also adopted ASU 2018-03 which provides related technical corrections and improvements. The principal effect of these ASUs on the Company's consolidated financial statements is that, prior to adoption of ASU 2016-01, changes in the fair values of investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values or redemption values were recognized in other comprehensive income until realized, while under ASU 2016-01 all changes in the fair values of these equity securities are recognized in current earnings. The adoption of these ASUs did not have a material impact on these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company recognized a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle upon adoption of ASUs 2016-01 and 2018-03, in conjunction with ASU 2018-02, the effect of which was to decrease accumulated other comprehensive income, and to increase retained earnings, by $5,662 in after-tax unrealized gains accumulated in other comprehensive income through December 31, 2017 from equity securities classified as available-for-sale investments prior to adoption of ASU 2016-01.
From January 1, 2018, equity securities that have readily determinable fair values or redemption values are recorded at estimated fair value with changes in their value recognized in current earnings. The Company classifies its debt securities as held-to-maturity and records them at amortized cost based on its intentions and strategy concerning those investments.
The Company classifies these debt and equity investments as "Short-term investments" or "Long-term investments" on its consolidated balance sheet, as applicable, based on the characteristics of the financial instrument or the Company's intentions or expectations for the investment.
The Company’s investments in these short-term and long-term debt and equity investments consist of the following:

Debt securities: The Company's short-term debt investments are principally bank certificates of deposit with contractual maturities longer than three months but shorter than one year. These debt securities are accounted for as held to maturity and recorded at amortized cost, which approximates their fair values at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
Equity securities: The Company's equity investments in mutual funds and common stock are held within a trust to fund existing obligations associated with several of the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plans. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized pre-tax net gains of $619 in the income statement associated with

changes in the fair value of these equity securities, comprised of pre-tax realized gains of $3,904 and a net decrease in unrealized gains of $3,285. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized pre-tax realized gains on the sale or redemption of equity securities of $346, or $211 after-tax, which was previously recorded in other comprehensive income.

Equity investments in nonconsolidated investees over which the Company maintains significant influence, but which do not have readily determinable fair values, are carried on the equity method.
As described in Note 5 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01 and related ASU 2018-03 concerning recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. In adopting this new guidance, the Company has made an accounting policy election to adopt an adjusted cost method measurement alternative for investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values.
Specifically, under this measurement alternative, unless elected otherwise for a particular investment, the Company initially records equity investments that qualify for the measurement alternative at cost but remeasures them to fair value through earnings when there is an observable transaction involving the same or a similar investment with the same issuer or upon an impairment.
The Company maintains equity method and minor adjusted cost method investments in the private securities of certain other healthcare and healthcare-related businesses. The Company classifies these investments as "Equity method and other investments" on its consolidated balance sheet.
The total carrying amount of equity investments carried under the adjusted cost method measurement alternative at June 30, 2018 was $12,386. Through June 30, 2018, there have been no meaningful impairments or other downward or upward valuation adjustments recognized on these investments.
Total equity method and other investments in nonconsolidated businesses were $249,020 and $245,534 at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized equity investment income of $9,950 and loss of $148, respectively, from equity method investments in nonconsolidated businesses. 
The Company's largest equity method investment is its ownership interest in DaVita Care Pte. Ltd. (the APAC JV), which was carried at $155,802 and $160,481 at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Company recognized a non-cash other-than-temporary impairment on this investment of $280,066 in the fourth quarter of 2017.
As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company holds a 60% voting interest and a 73.3% current economic interest in the APAC JV. Based on the governance structure and voting rights established for the APAC JV at its formation on August 1, 2016, certain key decisions affecting the joint venture’s operations are not subject to the unilateral discretion of the Company, but rather are shared with the other noncontrolling investors. These other noncontrolling investors currently collectively hold a 40% voting interest and a 26.7% economic interest in the APAC JV, and their economic interests are expected to increase to match their voting interests in the joint venture as they make additional subscribed capital contributions through August 1, 2019.

The Company elected to early adopt ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, effective January 1, 2017.
Each of the Company’s operating segments described in Note 19 to these condensed consolidated financial statements represents an individual reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing purposes, except that each sovereign jurisdiction within the Company’s international operating segments is considered a separate reporting unit.
Within the U.S. dialysis and related lab services operating segment, the Company considers each of its dialysis centers to constitute an individual business for which discrete financial information is available. However, since these dialysis centers have similar operating and economic characteristics, and the allocation of resources and significant investment decisions concerning these businesses are highly centralized and the benefits broadly distributed, the Company has aggregated these centers and deemed them to constitute a single reporting unit.
The Company has applied a similar aggregation to the vascular access service centers in its vascular access reporting unit, to the physician practices in its physician services and direct primary care reporting units, and to the dialysis centers within each international reporting unit. For the Company’s other operating segments, discrete business components below the operating segment level constitute individual reporting units.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company performed scheduled annual and other reporting unit goodwill impairment assessments, including for the Company’s Brazil dialysis and German integrated healthcare businesses. As a result, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $3,106 at its German integrated healthcare business.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized goodwill impairment charges of $10,498 and $34,696, respectively, at the Company’s vascular access reporting unit. These charges resulted primarily from continuing changes in the Company's outlook for this business as the Company's partners and operators continued to evaluate potential changes in operations, including termination of their management services agreements and center closures, as a result of recent changes in Medicare reimbursement. There is no goodwill remaining at the Company's vascular access reporting unit.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s Brazil dialysis business had a goodwill balance of $54,940 with an excess of estimated fair value over its carrying amount as of the latest assessment date of 9.8%. Future reductions in reimbursement rates,

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


changes in actual or expected growth rates, or other significant adverse changes in expected future cash flows or valuation assumptions could result in goodwill impairment charges in the future for this Brazil dialysis business. As of the latest assessment date, the potential impact on estimated fair value of a sustained, long-term reduction of 3% in operating income was (2.5)% and the potential impact on estimated fair value of an increase in discount rates of 100 basis points was (7.3)%.
Except as described above and in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, none of the Company's various other reporting units were considered at risk of significant goodwill impairment as of June 30, 2018. Since the dates of the Company's last annual goodwill impairment assessments, there have been certain developments, events, changes in operating performance and other changes in key circumstances that have affected the Company's businesses. However, these changes did not cause management to believe it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of the Company's reporting units would be less than their respective carrying amounts as of June 30, 2018.
8.
Income taxes
As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s total liability for unrecognized tax benefits relating to tax positions that do not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold was $39,966, of which $37,123 would impact the Company's effective tax rate if recognized. The total balance increased $7,190 from the December 31, 2017 balance of $32,776.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its income tax expense. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $6,642 and $4,195, respectively, accrued for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, net of federal tax benefits. 
The Company performed a provisional analysis of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (2017 Tax Act) and recorded a reasonable estimate at December 31, 2017. The Company is in the process of completing its analysis with regards to the 2017 Tax Act and will record any adjustments to its estimate on or before December 22, 2018, with any adjustments to be recorded to income tax expense in the period when the adjustments are determined. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has not made any material adjustments to the December 31, 2017 estimates.

On March 29, 2018, the Company entered into an Increase Joinder No. 1 (Increase Joinder Agreement) under its existing senior secured credit facilities. Pursuant to this Increase Joinder Agreement, the Company entered into an additional $995,000 Term Loan A-2. The new Term Loan A-2 bears interest at LIBOR plus an interest rate margin of 1.00%. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had drawn $952,000 of the Term Loan A-2. The remaining amount of $43,000 on Term Loan A-2 was drawn subsequent to June 30, 2018.
During the first six months of 2018, the Company made mandatory principal payments under its senior secured credit facilities totaling $50,000 on Term Loan A and $17,500 on Term Loan B.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company maintains several active and forward interest rate cap agreements that have the economic effect of capping the Company's maximum exposure to LIBOR variable interest rate changes on specific portions of the Company's floating rate debt, as described below. The cap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges and, as a result, changes in the fair values of these cap agreements are reported in other comprehensive income. The amortization of the original cap premium is recognized as a component of debt expense on a straight-line basis over the terms of the cap agreements. The cap agreements do not contain credit-risk contingent features.
On June 30, 2018, the Company's interest rate cap agreements that were entered into in November 2014 with notional amounts totaling $3,500,000 expired. These cap agreements became effective September 30, 2016 and had the economic effect of capping the LIBOR variable component of the Company’s interest rate at a maximum of 3.50% on an equivalent amount of the Company’s debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized debt expense of $4,140 from these cap agreements and recorded an immaterial loss in other comprehensive income due to a decrease in unrealized fair value of these cap agreements.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company maintains several currently effective interest rate cap agreements that were entered into in October 2015 with notional amounts totaling $3,500,000. These cap agreements became effective June 29, 2018 and have the economic effect of capping the LIBOR variable component of the Company’s interest rate at a maximum of 3.50% on an equivalent amount of its debt. These cap agreements expire on June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2018, the total fair value of these cap agreements was an asset of approximately $2,085. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a gain of $1,053 in other comprehensive income due to an increase in the unrealized fair value of these cap agreements.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s Term Loan B debt bears interest at LIBOR plus an interest rate margin of 2.75%. Term Loan B is subject to interest rate caps if LIBOR should rise above 3.50%. Term Loan A bears interest at LIBOR plus an interest rate margin of 2.00%. The capped portion of Term Loan A is $140,000 if LIBOR should rise above 3.50%. In addition, the uncapped portion of Term Loan A, which is subject to the variability of LIBOR, is $585,000. Term Loan A-2 is subject to the variability of LIBOR plus an interest rate margin of 1.00%. Interest rates on the Company’s senior notes are fixed by their terms.
The Company’s weighted average effective interest rate on the senior secured credit facilities at the end of the second quarter was 4.72%, based on the current margins in effect of 2.00% for Term Loan A, 1.00% for Term Loan A-2, and 2.75% for Term Loan B, as of June 30, 2018.
The Company’s overall weighted average effective interest rate during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 was 4.91% and as of June 30, 2018 was 4.99%.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s interest rates are fixed on approximately 48.8% of its total debt.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company had undrawn revolving credit facilities totaling $1,000,000, of which approximately $14,355 was committed for outstanding letters of credit. The remaining amount is unencumbered. The Company also has approximately $22,351 of additional outstanding letters of credit related to its Kidney Care business and $211 of committed outstanding letters of credit related to DaVita Medical Group (DMG), which is backed by a certificate of deposit.
10.
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, claims, qui tam suits, governmental investigations and audits (including investigations resulting from its obligation to self-report suspected violations of law) and other legal proceedings. 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company’s total recorded accruals, including DMG, 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

16


DAVITA INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(continued)

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


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 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 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.
Inquiries by the Federal Government and Certain Related Civil Proceedings
2015 U.S. Office of Inspector General (OIG) Medicare Advantage Civil Investigation: In March 2015, JSA HealthCare Corporation (JSA), a subsidiary of DMG, received a subpoena from the Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) requesting documents and information for the period from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2013, for certain MA plans for which JSA provided services. It also requests information regarding JSA’s communications about patient diagnoses as they relate to certain MA plans generally, and more specifically as related to two Florida physicians with whom JSA previously contracted. The Company is producing the requested information and is cooperating with the government’s investigation.
In addition to the subpoena described above, in June 2015, the Company received a civil subpoena from the OIG covering the period from January 1, 2008 through the present and seeking production of a wide range of documents relating to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ (including DMG’s and its subsidiary JSA’s) provision of services to MA plans and related patient diagnosis coding and risk adjustment submissions and payments. The Company believes that the request is part of a broader industry investigation into MA patient diagnosis coding and risk adjustment practices and potential overpayments by the government. The information requested includes information relating to patient diagnosis coding practices for a number of conditions, including potentially improper historical DMG coding for a particular condition. With respect to that condition, the guidance related to that coding issue was discontinued following the Company’s November 1, 2012 acquisition of HealthCare Partners (now known as the Company's DMG business), and the Company notified Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in April 2015 of the coding practice and potential overpayments. In that regard, the Company has identified certain additional coding practices which may have been problematic, some of which were the subject of the previously disclosed and dismissed Swoben Private Civil Suit, and is in discussions with the DOJ relating to those practices. The Company is cooperating with the government. In connection with the Company's acquisition of DMG in 2012, the Company has certain indemnification rights against the sellers and an escrow was established as security for the indemnification. The Company has submitted an indemnification claim against the sellers secured by the escrow for any and all liabilities incurred relating to these matters and intends to pursue recovery from the escrow. However, the Company can make no assurances that the indemnification and escrow will cover the full amount of the Company’s potential losses related to these matters.
2016 U.S. Attorney Texas Investigation: In early February 2016, the Company announced that its pharmacy services wholly-owned subsidiary, DaVita Rx, LLC, (DaVita Rx) received a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas. The government is conducting a federal False Claims Act (FCA) investigation concerning allegations that DaVita Rx presented or caused to be presented false claims for payment to the government for prescription medications, as well as into the Company’s relationship with pharmaceutical manufacturers. The CID covers the period from January 1, 2006 through the present. In the spring of 2015, the Company initiated an internal compliance review of DaVita Rx during which it identified potential billing and operational issues, including potential write-offs and discounts of patient co-payment obligations, and credits to payors for returns of prescription drugs related to DaVita Rx. The Company notified the government in September 2015 that it was conducting this review of DaVita Rx and began providing regular updates of its review. Upon completion of its review, the Company filed a self-disclosure with the OIG in February 2016 and has been working to address and update the practices it identified in the self-disclosure, some of which overlap with information requested by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The OIG informed the Company in February 2016 that its submission was not accepted. They indicated that the OIG is not expressing an opinion regarding the conduct disclosed or the Company’s legal positions. In connection with the Company’s ongoing efforts working with the government the Company learned that a qui tam complaint had been filed covering some of the issues in the CID and the Company’s self-disclosure. In December 2017, the Company finalized and executed a settlement agreement with the government and relators in the qui tam matter and that included total monetary consideration of $63,700, as previously announced, of which $41,500 was an incremental cash

payment and $22,200 was for amounts previously refunded, and all of which was previously accrued. The government’s investigation into certain of the Company's relationships with pharmaceutical manufacturers is ongoing, and in July 2018 the government served an HHS-OIG subpoena seeking additional documents and information relating to those relationships. The Company is continuing to cooperate with the government in this investigation.
2017 U.S. Attorney Massachusetts Investigation: In January 2017, the Company was served with an administrative subpoena for records by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Massachusetts, relating to an investigation into possible federal health care offenses. The subpoena covers the period from January 1, 2007 through the present, and seeks documents relevant to charitable patient assistance organizations, particularly the American Kidney Fund, including documents related to efforts to provide patients with information concerning the availability of charitable assistance. The Company is cooperating with the government.
2017 U.S. Attorney Colorado Investigation: In November 2017, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Colorado informed the Company of an investigation it was conducting into possible federal health care offenses involving DaVita Kidney Care, as well as several of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, including DMG, DaVita Rx, DaVita Laboratory Services, Inc. (DaVita Labs), and RMS Lifeline Inc. (Lifeline). There is overlap between the Colorado investigation and the other reported investigations concerning DMG and DaVita Rx. The Company is cooperating with the government.
2017 U.S. Attorney Florida Investigation: In November 2017, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Florida informed the Company of an investigation it was conducting into possible federal healthcare offenses involving the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Lifeline. The Company is cooperating with the government.
2018 U.S. Attorney Florida Investigation: In March 2018, DaVita Labs, received two CIDs from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Middle District of Florida that were identical in nature but directed to the two different labs. According to the face of the CIDs, the U.S. Attorney’s Office is conducting an investigation as to whether the Company's subsidiary submitted claims for blood, urine, and fecal testing, where there were insufficient test validation or stability studies to ensure accurate results, in violation of the False Claims Act. The Company is cooperating with the government.
* * *
Although the Company cannot predict whether or when proceedings might be initiated or when these matters may be resolved (other than as 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 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, possible criminal penalties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Shareholder and Derivative Claims
Peace Officers’ Annuity and Benefit Fund of Georgia Securities Class Action Civil Suit: On February 1, 2017, the Peace Officers’ Annuity and Benefit Fund of Georgia filed a putative federal securities class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against the Company and certain executives. The complaint covers the time period of August 2015 to October 2016 and alleges, generally, that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws concerning the Company’s financial results and revenue derived from patients who received charitable premium assistance from an industry-funded non-profit organization. The complaint further alleges that the process by which patients obtained commercial insurance and received charitable premium assistance was improper and "created a false impression of DaVita’s business and operational status and future growth prospects." In November 2017, the court appointed the lead plaintiff and an amended complaint was filed on January 12, 2018. On March 27, 2018, the Company and various individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss. The plaintiffs filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss on June 6, 2018. The Company filed a reply in support of the motion on July 19, 2018. The Company disputes these allegations and intends to defend this action accordingly.

In re DaVita Inc. Stockholder Derivative Litigation: On August 15, 2017, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware consolidated three previously disclosed shareholder derivative lawsuits: the Blackburn Shareholder action filed on February 10, 2017, the Gabilondo Shareholder action filed on May 30, 2017, and the City of Warren Police and Fire Retirement System Shareholder action filed on June 9, 2017. 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. The plaintiffs filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss on March 9, 2018. On June 25, 2018, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware granted the Company’s motion to stay proceedings and stayed the case until November 1, 2018. The Company disputes these allegations and intends to defend this action accordingly.
Other Proceedings

White, Kathleen, et al. v. DaVita Healthcare Partners, Inc., Civil Action No. 15-cv-2106, U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado: Three actions (Menchaca v. DaVita Healthcare Partners, Inc., Saldana v. DaVita Healthcare Partners, Inc. and Hardin v. DaVita Healthcare Partners, Inc.) were consolidated in December 2016 into one action in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. In all three actions, the plaintiffs brought claims for wrongful death, negligence and fraudulent concealment related to Granuflo®, a product used as a component of the dialysis process. The Menchaca and Saldana actions arose out of the treatment of patients in California, while the Hardin action arose out of the treatment of a patient in Illinois. On June 27, 2018, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs, collectively awarding $8,500 in compensatory damages and $375,000 in punitive damages. The Company intends to challenge the verdict and damage awards through post-trial motions and, if necessary, an appeal of the judgment. The Company has recorded a liability of its estimate of probable damages and awards that may be paid in this case. The Company intends to seek recovery from insurers, indemnitors and the like to cover any ultimate damages and awards relating to this matter; however, the Company can make no assurances that any such recoveries will cover the full amount of the Company’s potential losses related to this matter. The net amounts recorded are not material to the financial results in the period.
In addition to the foregoing, from time to time the Company is subject to other lawsuits, demands, claims, governmental investigations and audits and legal proceedings that arise due to the nature of its business, including contractual disputes, such as with payors, suppliers and others, employee-related matters and professional and general liability claims. From time to time, the Company also initiates litigation or other legal proceedings as a plaintiff arising out of contracts or other matters.
Resolved Matters
2011 Suit against the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs: As previously disclosed, the Company had a pending lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims against the federal government which was originally filed in May 2011. The lawsuit related to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) underpayment of dialysis services the Company provided from 2005 through 2011 to veterans pursuant to VA regulations. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company received a payment of $538,000 related to the settlement with the VA. The Company's consolidated entities recognized a net gain of $527,000 on this settlement. The Company's nonconsolidated and managed entities recognized a gain of $9,000, of which the Company's equity investment share was $3,000. The net effect was a net increase of $530,000 to the Company's operating income.

Other than as described above, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcomes of the various legal proceedings and regulatory matters to which the Company is or may be subject from time to time, including those described in this Note 10 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, or the timing of their resolution or the ultimate losses or impact of developments in those matters, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenues, earnings and cash flows. Further, any legal proceedings or regulatory matters involving the Company, whether meritorious or not, are time consuming, and often require management’s attention and result in significant legal expense, and may result in the diversion of significant operational resources, or otherwise harm the Company’s business, financial results or reputation.

Noncontrolling interests subject to put provisions and other commitments
The Company has potential obligations to purchase the equity interests held by third parties in several of its majority-owned joint ventures 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. If these put provisions were exercised, the Company would be required to purchase the third-party owners’ equity interests at either the appraised fair market value or a predetermined multiple of earnings or cash flows attributable to the equity interests put to the Company, which is intended to approximate fair value. The methodology the Company uses 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 mix 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 judgments 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 the Company’s 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’ access 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.
The Company has certain other potential commitments to provide operating capital to a number of dialysis centers that are wholly-owned by third parties or businesses in which the Company maintains a noncontrolling equity interest as well as to physician-owned vascular access clinics or medical practices that the Company operates under management and administrative services agreements of approximately $5,446.
Certain consolidated joint ventures are originally contractually scheduled to dissolve after terms ranging from 10 to 50 years. While noncontrolling interests in these limited life entities qualify as mandatorily redeemable financial instruments, they are subject to a classification and measurement scope exception from the accounting guidance generally applicable to other mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. Future distributions upon dissolution of these entities would be valued below the related noncontrolling interest carrying balances in the consolidated balance sheet.

Long-term incentive compensation
Long-term incentive program (LTIP) compensation includes both stock-based awards (principally stock-settled stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, and performance stock units) as well as long-term performance-based cash awards. Long-term incentive compensation expense, which was primarily general and administrative in nature, was attributed to the Company’s U.S. dialysis and related lab services business, corporate administrative support, and ancillary services and strategic initiatives.
The Company’s stock-based compensation awards are measured at their estimated fair values on the date of grant if settled in shares or at their estimated fair values at the end of each reporting period if settled in cash. The value of stock-based awards so measured is recognized as compensation expense on a cumulative straight-line basis over the vesting terms of the awards, adjusted for expected forfeitures.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company granted 1,780 stock-settled stock appreciation rights with an aggregate grant-date fair value of $28,630 and a weighted-average expected life of approximately 4.2 years and 1,094 stock units with an aggregate grant-date fair value of $72,469 and a weighted-average expected life of approximately 3.4 years.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $31,301 and $27,183, respectively, in total LTIP expense, of which $20,717 and $16,404, respectively, represented stock-based compensation expense for stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, and discounted employee stock plan purchases, which are primarily included in general and administrative expense. The estimated tax benefits recorded for stock-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $3,941 and $5,636, respectively.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $153,984 of total estimated but unrecognized compensation expense for outstanding LTIP awards, including $128,115 related to stock-based compensation arrangements under the Company’s equity

compensation and employee stock purchase plans. The Company expects to recognize the performance-based cash component of these LTIP costs over a weighted average remaining period of 1.0 year and the stock-based component of these LTIP costs over a weighted average remaining period of 1.7 years.
