§	Interest expense increased to $530 million, from $506 million in the second quarter of 2009.
§	Same facility equivalent admissions increased 1.6 percent, and same facility admissions declined 0.3 percent in the second quarter compared to the second quarter of 2009.

Revenues in the second quarter of 2010 totaled $7.756 billion, compared to $7.483 billion in the second quarter of 2009. Cash revenues increased 5.3 percent in the second quarter to $6.968 billion from $6.617 billion in the same period last year. Cash revenues is a non-GAAP measure and reflects the Company’s reported revenues less the provision for doubtful accounts (bad debt). Net income attributable to HCA Inc. for the second quarter of 2010 totaled $293 million, compared to $282 million in the prior year’s second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter increased by 6.5 percent to $1.490 billion, compared to $1.399 billion in the previous year’s

second quarter. Tables describing Adjusted EBITDA and cash revenues and reconciling net income attributable to HCA Inc. to Adjusted EBITDA, and reported revenues to cash revenues, are included in this release. Results for the second quarter of 2010 include impairments of long-lived assets of $91 million while results for the second quarter of 2009 include losses on sales of facilities of $3 million and impairments of long-lived assets of $4 million.

The Company’s provision for doubtful accounts declined to $788 million, or 10.2 percent of revenues, in the second quarter of 2010 from $866 million, or 11.6 percent of revenues, in the second quarter of 2009, primarily due to a $480 million increase in charity care and uninsured discounts in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the prior year.

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 26.1 percent for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 23.7 percent for the second quarter of 2009. Same facility uninsured admissions increased 2.1 percent in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the prior year’s second quarter. Same facility uninsured admissions comprised 6.8 percent of total admissions in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 6.6 percent in the second quarter of 2009.

During the second quarter of 2010, salaries and benefits, supplies and other operating expenses totaled $5.553 billion, or 71.6 percent of revenues, compared to $5.279 billion, or 70.5 percent of revenues, in the second quarter of 2009.

Interest expense increased to $530 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $506 million in the same period of 2009, due to small increases in both the average debt balance and the average effective interest rate on our outstanding debt.

Same facility admissions declined 0.3 percent and same facility equivalent admissions increased 1.6 percent in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the prior year’s second quarter. Same facility inpatient surgeries declined 2.1 percent and same facility outpatient surgeries declined 0.9 percent in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009. Same facility revenue per equivalent admission increased 2.2 percent in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009 and reflects the impact of the increased uninsured discounts and charity care, which reduce our reported revenues. Same facility cash revenue per equivalent admission increased 3.7 percent in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $15.300 billion compared to $14.914 billion for the same period of 2009. Net income attributable to HCA Inc. was $681 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $642 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $3.064 billion for the first half of 2010 compared to $2.856 billion for the same period of 2009. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 include impairments of long-lived assets of $109 million, compared to losses on sales of facilities of $8 million and impairments of long-lived assets of $13 million in the first half of 2009.

As of June 30, 2010, HCA’s balance sheet reflected cash and cash equivalents of $350 million, total debt of $26.798 billion, and total assets of $23.420 billion. During the second quarter of 2010, capital expenditures totaled $322 million, and the Company paid a $500 million cash distribution to holders of its common stock and vested stock options. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $450 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $659 million in the prior year.

The $209 million decrease was due primarily to changes in operating assets and liabilities of $317 million, reflecting increases in accounts receivable, other receivables and marketable securities, and declines in accounts payable and accrued interest.

As of June 30, 2010 HCA operated 162 hospitals and 106 freestanding surgery centers (including eight hospitals and eight freestanding surgery centers operated through equity method joint ventures).

(a)	Net income attributable to HCA Inc., excluding losses 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 Inc., excluding losses 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 Inc., excluding losses 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 Inc., excluding losses on sales of facilities and impairments of long-lived assets and GAAP net income attributable to HCA 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 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 Inc., excluding losses 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 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 Inc., excluding losses 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 Inc., excluding losses 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. We increased our uninsured discount percentages during August 2009 and the resulting effects, for the second quarter of 2010, were an increase in uninsured discounts of $467 million and a decline in the provision for doubtful accounts of $78 million, compared to the second 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.
