Item 8.01. Other Events.
On April 12, 2025, DaVita Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) became aware of a ransomware incident that has encrypted certain elements of our network. Upon discovery, we activated our response protocols and implemented containment measures, including proactively isolating impacted systems. We are actively working to assess and remediate the incident with the assistance of third-party cybersecurity professionals and have notified law enforcement of the matter.
We have implemented our contingency plans, and we continue to provide patient care. However, the incident is impacting some of our operations, and while we have implemented interim measures to allow for the restoration of certain functions, we cannot estimate the duration or extent of the disruption at this time.
Given the recency of the incident, our investigation and response are ongoing, and the full scope, nature, and potential ultimate impact on the Company are not yet known.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws and include, among other things, statements about the impact of this ransomware incident on the Company, the timeline on which operations impacted by the incident will be restored and the ultimate duration and extent of the disruption. All such statements in this report, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “may,” “believe,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company bases its forward-looking statements on information available to it on the date of this report, and 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 otherwise be required by law. Actual results and other events 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, the risk factors set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the other risks and uncertainties discussed in any subsequent reports that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.
