HCA Reports Fourth Quarter 2010 Results
Net Income Attributable to HCA Holdings, Inc. Increases 30.8 Percent

Nashville, Tenn., February 3, 2011 —HCA Holdings, Inc. today announced financial and operating results for the year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Key fourth quarter metrics(all percentage changes compare 4Q 2010 to 4Q 2009 unless noted):

• Revenues increased 1.7 percent to $7.736 billion — cash revenues increased 3.6 percent to $7.161 billion

• Net income attributable to HCA Holdings, Inc. totaled $283 million, an increase of 30.8 percent

• Adjusted EBITDA increased 7.8 percent to $1.447 billion, a 100 basis point improvement in margin to 18.7 percent

• Cash revenue per equivalent admission increased 1.3 percent

• Cash flows from operations increased $102 million to $534 million

• Same facility equivalent admissions increased 2.3 percent while same facility admissions increased 0.4 percent

• Surgeries on a same facility basis declined 0.3 percent

Fourth quarter of 2010 results reflect improvements in operational efficiencies and increases in volumes. Same facility equivalent admissions increased 2.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the prior year, reflecting both inpatient and outpatient volumes. Same facility admissions increased 0.4 percent, primarily due to an improvement in the rate of decline in deliveries during the quarter. Same facility emergency room visits increased 3.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to an increase of 9.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009. The 2009 period was positively impacted by H1N1 flu volumes.

Revenues in the fourth quarter increased 1.7 percent to $7.736 billion, compared to $7.605 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009. Cash revenues totaled $7.161 billion compared to $6.912

billion, an increase of 3.6 percent, compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter. Cash revenues is a non-GAAP measure and reflects the Company’s reported revenues less the provision for doubtful accounts (bad debts). Revenue growth was driven by increased volume, revenue per equivalent admission and patient acuity, which increased 1.1 percent in the quarter compared to the prior year. Net income attributable to HCA Holdings, Inc. totaled $283 million compared to $216 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Adjusted EBITDA increased 7.8 percent in the quarter to $1.447 billion compared to $1.343 billion in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Tables providing supplemental information on adjusted EBITDA and cash revenues and reconciling net income attributable to HCA Holdings, Inc. to adjusted EBITDA, and reported revenues to cash revenues, are included in this release. Results in the fourth quarter of 2010 include impairments of long-lived assets of $4 million and gains on sales of facilities of $6 million, compared to impairments of long-lived assets of $27 million and losses on sales of facilities of $7 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.

“We had very solid operating results last year, despite a challenging economy,” said Richard M. Bracken, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of HCA. “We are pleased that our diversified portfolio of assets and services, combined with improvements in operating efficiencies and our continued focus on clinical quality and patient services, resulted in a very favorable performance.”

The Company’s provision for doubtful accounts declined to $575 million, or 7.4 percent of revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $693 million, or 9.1 percent of revenues, in the same period of 2009. This decline is primarily due to a $463 million increase in charity care and uninsured discounts in the fourth quarter of 2010. The sum of the provision for doubtful accounts, uninsured discounts and charity care, as a percentage of the sum of revenues, uninsured discounts and charity care, was 26.2 percent for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to 24.1 percent for the fourth quarter of 2009. Same facility uninsured admissions increased 8.9 percent in the fourth quarter compared to the prior year and comprised 7.0 percent of total admissions compared to 6.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, salaries and benefits, supplies and other operating expenses totaled $5.786 billion, or 74.8 percent of revenues (80.8 percent of cash revenues), compared to $5.633 billion, or 74.0 percent of revenues (81.5 percent of cash revenues), in the fourth quarter of 2009.

(a)	Net income attributable to HCA Holdings, Inc., excluding losses (gains) on sales of facilities and impairments of long-lived assets and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe net income attributable to HCA Holdings, Inc., excluding losses (gains) on sales of facilities and impairments of long-lived assets and Adjusted EBITDA are important measures that supplement discussions and analysis of our results of operations. We believe it is useful to investors to provide disclosures of our results of operations on the same basis used by management. Management relies upon net income attributable to HCA Holdings, Inc., excluding losses (gains) on sales of facilities and impairments of long-lived assets and Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measures to review and assess operating performance of its hospital facilities and their management teams.
	Management and investors review both the overall performance (including; net income attributable to HCA Holdings, Inc., excluding losses (gains) on sales of facilities and impairments of long-lived assets and GAAP net income attributable to HCA Holdings, Inc.) and operating performance (Adjusted EBITDA) of our health care facilities. Adjusted EBITDA and the Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues) are utilized by management and investors to compare our current operating results with the corresponding periods during the previous year and to compare our operating results with other companies in the health care industry. It is reasonable to expect that losses (gains) on sales of facilities and impairments of long-lived assets will occur in future periods, but the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period, do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our health care facilities and complicate period comparisons of our results of operations and operations comparisons with other health care companies.
	Net income attributable to HCA Holdings, Inc., excluding losses (gains) on sales of facilities and impairments of long-lived assets and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to HCA Holdings, Inc. as a measure of operating performance or cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Because net income attributable to HCA Holdings, Inc., excluding losses (gains) on sales of facilities and impairments of long-lived assets and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and are susceptible to varying calculations, net income attributable to HCA Holdings, Inc., excluding losses (gains) on sales of facilities and impairments of long-lived assets and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

(a)

Cash revenues is defined as reported revenues less the provision for doubtful accounts. We use cash revenues as an analytical indicator for purposes of assessing the effect of uninsured patient volumes, adjusted for the effect of both the revenue deductions related to uninsured accounts (charity care and uninsured discounts) and the provision for doubtful accounts (which relates primarily to uninsured accounts), on our revenues and certain operating expenses, as a percentage of cash revenues. Variations in the revenue deductions related to uninsured accounts generally have the inverse effect on the provision for doubtful accounts. During the fourth quarter of 2010, uninsured discounts increased $390 million and the provision for doubtful accounts declined $118 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. Cash revenues is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the health care industry. Cash revenues should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Because cash revenues is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, cash revenues, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other health care companies.

(b)

Salaries and benefits, supplies and other operating expenses, as a percentage of cash revenues (a non-GAAP financial measure), present the impact on these ratios due to the adjustment of deducting the provision for doubtful accounts from reported revenues and results in these ratios being non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors to provide disclosures of our results of operations on the same basis as that used by management. Management uses this information to compare certain operating expense categories as a percentage of cash revenues. Management finds this information useful to evaluate certain expense category trends without the influence of whether adjustments related to revenues for uninsured accounts are recorded as revenue adjustments (charity care and uninsured discounts) or operating expenses (provision for doubtful accounts), and thus the expense category trends are generally analyzed as a percentage of cash revenues. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP financial measures. We believe this supplemental information provides management and the users of our financial statements with useful information for period-to-period comparisons. Investors are encouraged to use GAAP measures when evaluating our overall financial performance.
