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.
