DENVER, April 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ DaVita Inc. (NYSE: DVA) announced financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
For the quarter, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $2.09, an increase of 15.5% from the prior year diluted earnings per share from continuing operations and an increase of 14.2% from the prior year adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. First quarter diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was impacted by the challenges of responding to COVID-19, with an estimated net impact on operating income of approximately $(35) million. This impact was primarily driven by higher patient mortality due to COVID-19 and the high cost of personal protective equipment, partially offset by a benefit from the temporary suspension of Medicare sequestration cuts.
