HCA Reports Third Quarter 2010 Results
Net Income Attributable to HCA Inc. Increases 24.3 Percent

Nashville, Tenn., November 9, 2010 — HCA Inc. today announced financial and operating results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Key third quarter metrics (all percentage changes compare 3Q 2010 to 3Q 2009 unless noted):

• Revenues increased 1.5 percent to $7.647 billion — cash revenues increased 4.6 percent to $6.926 billion.

• Net income attributable to HCA Inc. totaled $243 million, an increase of 24.3 percent

• Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.6 percent to $1.357 billion, a 90 basis point improvement in margin to 17.8 percent

• Cash revenue per equivalent admission increased 4.1 percent

• Cash flows from operations increased $219 million to $1.260 billion

• Same facility equivalent admissions increased 0.7 percent while same facility admissions declined 0.6 percent

• Surgeries on a same facility basis declined 2.1 percent

Third quarter of 2010 results improved due to a continued focus on revenue growth and operational efficiencies. Same facility equivalent admissions increased 0.7 percent in the third quarter of 2010, compared to the prior year, reflecting both inpatient and outpatient volumes. Same facility admissions declined 0.6 percent, reflecting reduced deliveries and a difficult comparison due to high H1N1 flu volumes in the third quarter of 2009. Same facility emergency room visits increased 1.2 percent in the third quarter of 2010 compared to an increase of 11.1 percent in the third quarter of 2009 which was primarily the result of the H1N1 flu volumes.

Revenues in the third quarter increased 1.5 percent to $7.647 billion compared to $7.533 billion in the third quarter of 2009. Cash revenues totaled $6.926 billion compared to $6.623 billion, an increase of 4.6 percent, compared to the prior year’s third 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 2.7 percent in the quarter compared to the prior

year. Net income attributable to HCA Inc. totaled $243 million compared to $196 million in the third quarter of 2009. Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.6 percent in the quarter to $1.357 billion compared to $1.273 billion in the prior year. 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 in the third quarter of 2010 include impairments of long-lived assets of $10 million and losses on sale of facilities of $2 million compared to impairments of long-lived assets of $3 million in the third quarter of 2009.

“We believe our solid performance this year is due to effective execution of our operating strategies, which are centered on improvements in clinical care, patient service and operating efficiencies. We continue to invest in those strategies that advance these agendas,” stated Richard M. Bracken, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of HCA.

The Company’s provision for doubtful accounts declined to $721 million, or 9.4 percent of revenues, in the third quarter of 2010, compared to $910 million, or 12.1 percent of revenues, in the same period of 2009. This decline is primarily due to a $476 million increase in charity care and uninsured discounts in the third quarter. 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 26.4 percent for the third quarter of 2010, compared to 24.9 percent for the third quarter of 2009. Same facility uninsured admissions increased 3.9 percent in the third quarter compared to the prior year and comprised 7.4 percent of total admissions compared to 7.1 percent in the third quarter of 2009.

During the third quarter of 2010, salaries and benefits, supplies and other operating expenses totaled $5.636 billion, or 73.7 percent of revenues (81.4 percent of cash revenues), compared to $5.403 billion, or 71.7 percent of revenues (81.6 percent of cash revenues), in the third quarter of 2009.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $22.947 billion compared to $22.447 billion in the same period of 2009. Net income attributable to HCA Inc. was $924 million for the nine month period of 2010, an increase of 10.3 percent, compared to $838 million in the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $4.421 billion compared to $4.129 billion in 2009. Results for the nine months of 2010 include impairments of long-lived assets of $119 million and losses on sales of facilities of $2 million compared to impairments of long-lived assets of $16 million and losses on sales of facilities of $8 million for the nine month period of 2009.

As of September 30, 2010, HCA’s balance sheet reflected cash and cash equivalents of $377 million, total debt of $26.079 billion, and total assets of $23.253 billion. During the third quarter of 2010, capital expenditures totaled $324 million and for the first nine months of 2010 they totaled $860 million. Net cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter totaled $1.260 billion compared to $1.041 billion in the prior year’s third quarter. Through September 30, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $2.611 billion compared to $2.315 billion for the same period of 2009. As of September 30, 2010, HCA had in excess of $2.1 billion of liquidity under its senior secured revolving credit facilities.

2

As of September 30, 2010 HCA operated 162 hospitals and 104 freestanding surgery centers (including eight hospitals and eight free standing surgery centers operated through equity method joint ventures).

Hospital Acquisitions

On November 1, 2010, St. David’s Healthcare System, a partnership between HCA and the St. David’s Foundation, completed the acquisition of The Heart Hospital of Austin located in Austin, TX. Also, Methodist Healthcare System, a partnership between HCA and the Methodist Healthcare Ministries, has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase substantially all of the assets of Texsan Heart Hospital in San Antonio, TX with closing expected during the first quarter of 2011.

Proposed Distribution to Stockholders

It is contemplated that, subject to applicable legal and contractual restrictions, during the fourth quarter of 2010, an approximate $2 billion distribution will be declared to the Company’s existing stockholders and holders of vested stock options. A portion of such distribution would be funded using funds available under the Company’s existing senior secured revolving credit facilities. The balance of such distribution, if any, would be funded with proceeds from new indebtedness contemplated to be incurred by a newly-created holding company. There can be no assurance that the incurrence of such indebtedness and related holding company restructuring and distribution will be completed. The Company’s leverage ratio as of September 30, 2010, as measured by the ratio of long-term debt to adjusted EBITDA, was 4.52x. On a pro forma basis, to reflect the contemplated distribution and related indebtedness, the Company’s estimated leverage ratio would be 4.88x for the same date.

Earnings Conference Call

HCA will host a conference call for investors at 9:00 a.m. Central Standard Time today. All interested investors are invited to access a live audio broadcast of the call via webcast. The broadcast also will be available on a replay basis beginning this afternoon. The webcast can be accessed at: http://www.talkpoint.com/viewer/starthere.asp?Pres=133103

(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 third quarter of 2010, were an increase in uninsured discounts of $431 million and a decline in the provision for doubtful accounts of $189 million, compared to the third 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.
