1. The debt burden that the company has as measured by its Interest Coverage (current year). The higher, the better.

DaVita's Interest Expense for the months ended in Mar. 2025 was $-135 Mil. Its Operating Income for the months ended in Mar. 2025 was $433 Mil. And its Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation for the quarter that ended in Mar. 2025 was $11,721 Mil.

DaVita's Interest Coverage for the quarter that ended in Mar. 2025 is

Interest Coverage=-1*Operating Income (Q: Mar. 2025 )/Interest Expense (Q: Mar. 2025 )
=-1*433.328/-135.055
=3.21

The higher the ratio, the stronger the company's financial strength is.

2. Debt to revenue ratio. The lower, the better.

DaVita's Debt to Revenue Ratio for the quarter that ended in Mar. 2025 is

Debt to Revenue Ratio=Total Debt (Q: Mar. 2025 ) / Revenue
=(Short-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation + Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation) / Revenue
=(599.154 + 11721.184) / 12894.116
=0.96
