Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature.

The majority of our expenses are “costs of revenues” items. Costs that could be classified as general and administrative would include our corporate office costs, which were $90 million and $85 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

Revenues

Revenues are recorded during the period the health care services are provided, based upon the estimated amounts due from the patients and third-party payers. Third-party payers include federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies (including plans offered through the health insurance exchanges), and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances under managed care health plans are based upon the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Revenues related to uninsured patients and uninsured copayment and deductible amounts for patients who have health care coverage may have discounts applied (uninsured discounts and contractual discounts). We also record a provision for doubtful accounts (based primarily on historical collection experience) related to uninsured accounts to record net self pay revenues at the estimated amounts we expect to collect. Our revenues from third party payers, the uninsured and other for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 are summarized in the following table (dollars in millions):

 

     2017      Ratio     2016      Ratio

Recent Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the International Accounting Standards Board issued a final, converged, principles-based standard on revenue recognition. Companies across all industries will use a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The new standard, which replaces nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance, will require significant management judgments and change the way many companies recognize revenue in their financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB decided to defer the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 for public entities and permit entities to adopt one year earlier if they choose. The FASB decided, based on its outreach to various stakeholders and continuing amendments to the new revenue standard, that a deferral was necessary to provide adequate time to effectively implement the new standard. We are continuing to evaluate the effects the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements and financial disclosures. We believe the most significant impact will be to the presentation of our income statement where the provision for doubtful accounts will be recorded as a direct reduction to revenues and will not be presented as a separate line item. We expect to adopt the new standard using the full retrospective application, and we do not believe the adoption will have a significant impact on our recognition of net revenues for any period.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public business

entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (calendar year 2019). Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02’s transition provisions will be applied using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-02 to determine how our financial statements will be affected, and we believe the primary effect of adopting the new standard will be to record right-of-use assets and obligations for current operating leases.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). The new guidance eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., measure the charge based on the current Step 1). ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and any interim impairment tests for periods beginning after December 15, 2019. We elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04 effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 will only impact our financial statements in situations where an impairment of a reporting unit’s assets is determined.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation — Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”). The new guidance requires employers that sponsor defined benefit plans to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We elected to early adopt ASU 2017-07 effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2 — ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

During the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we paid $90 million and $9 million, respectively, to acquire other nonhospital health care entities. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we received proceeds of $4 million and recognized a net pretax gain of $1 million related to sales of real estate and other investments. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we received proceeds of $4 million and recognized a net pretax loss of $1 million related to sales of real estate and other investments.

During the April 1, 2017 through May 9, 2017 period, we entered into agreements to purchase six hospitals for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $950 million. Subject to regulatory reviews, the transactions are currently expected to close during the second and third quarters of 2017. We intend to fund the purchases through amounts available under our revolving credit facility or anticipated access to debt markets.

NOTE 3 — INCOME TAXES

Our liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $405 million, including accrued interest of $42 million, as of March 31, 2017 ($418 million and $45 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2016). Unrecognized tax benefits of $134 million ($137 million as of December 31, 2016) would affect the effective rate, if recognized.

Our provision for income taxes for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 included tax benefits of $67 million and $74 million, respectively, related to the settlement of employee equity awards resulting in the

NOTE 3 — INCOME TAXES (continued)

 

recognition of excess tax benefits (when the deductible amount related to the settlement of employee equity awards for tax purposes exceeds the cumulative compensation cost recognized for financial reporting purposes).

We are subject to examination by federal, state and foreign taxing authorities. Depending on the resolution of any federal, state and foreign tax disputes, the completion of examinations by federal, state or foreign taxing authorities, or the expiration of statutes of limitation for specific taxing jurisdictions, we believe it is reasonably possible that our liability for unrecognized tax benefits may significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. However, we are currently unable to estimate the range of any possible change.

NOTE 4 — EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute basic earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We compute diluted earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding equity awards and potential shares, computed using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts):

NOTE 6 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These swap agreements involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments between two parties based on common notional principal amounts and maturity dates. Pay-fixed interest rate swaps effectively convert LIBOR indexed variable rate obligations to fixed interest rate obligations. The interest payments under these agreements are settled on a net basis. The net interest payments, based on the notional amounts in these agreements, generally match the timing of the related liabilities for the interest rate swap agreements which have been designated as cash flow hedges. The notional amounts of the swap agreements represent amounts used to calculate the exchange of cash flows and are not our assets or liabilities. Our credit risk related to these agreements is considered low because the swap agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions.

NOTE 7 — ASSETS AND LIABILITIES MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE

Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) emphasizes fair value is a market-based measurement, and fair value measurements should be determined based on the assumptions market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities. ASC 820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment.

NOTE 7 — ASSETS AND LIABILITIES MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE (continued)

 

Cash Traded Investments

Our cash traded investments are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Certain types of cash traded instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they trade infrequently and therefore have little or no price transparency. The valuation of these securities involves the consideration of market factors and management’s judgment.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements of these instruments.

Although we determined the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. We assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions, and at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we determined the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives.

2016 Activity

During August 2016, we issued $1.200 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.500% senior secured notes due 2027. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes and to retire a portion of one of our senior secured term loans. We also entered into a joinder agreement to retire the remaining portion of this senior secured term loan using proceeds from a new $1.200 billion senior secured term loan facility maturing in February 2024.

During March 2016, we issued $1.500 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.250% senior secured notes due 2026. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes and to retire a portion of one of our senior secured term loans. We also entered into a joinder agreement to retire the remaining portion of this senior secured term loan using proceeds from a new $1.500 billion senior secured term loan facility maturing in March 2023.

NOTE 9 — CONTINGENCIES

We operate in a highly regulated and litigious industry. As a result, various lawsuits, claims and legal and regulatory proceedings have been and can be expected to be instituted or asserted against us. We are also subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims for personal injuries or wrongful restriction of, or interference with, physicians’ staff privileges. In certain of these actions the claimants may seek

punitive damages against us which may not be covered by insurance. We are also subject to claims by various taxing authorities for additional taxes and related interest and penalties. The resolution of any such lawsuits, claims or legal and regulatory proceedings could have a material, adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Health care companies are subject to numerous investigations by various governmental agencies. Under the federal False Claims Act (“FCA”), private parties have the right to bring qui tam, or “whistleblower,” suits against companies that submit false claims for payments to, or improperly retain overpayments from, the government. Some states have adopted similar state whistleblower and false claims provisions. Certain of our individual facilities have received, and from time to time, other facilities may receive, government inquiries from, and may be subject to investigation by, federal and state agencies. Depending on whether the underlying conduct in these or future inquiries or investigations could be considered systemic, their resolution could have a material, adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

NOTE 11 — SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

We operate in one line of business, which is operating hospitals and related health care entities. We operate in two geographically organized groups: the National and American Groups. The National Group includes 85 hospitals located in Alaska, California, Florida, southern Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, northern Kentucky, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Utah and Virginia, and the American Group includes 80 hospitals located in Colorado, northern Georgia, Kansas, southern Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. We also operate six hospitals in England, and these facilities are included in the Corporate and other group.

Adjusted segment EBITDA is defined as income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, losses (gains) on sales of facilities, legal claim costs, income taxes and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. We use adjusted segment EBITDA as an analytical indicator for purposes of allocating resources to geographic areas and assessing their performance. Adjusted segment EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the health care industry, and also serves as a measure of leverage capacity and debt service ability. Adjusted segment EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles, and the items excluded from adjusted segment EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because adjusted segment EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted segment EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes certain disclosures which contain “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include statements regarding expected share-based compensation expense, expected capital expenditures and expected net claim payments and all other statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can be identified by the use of words like “may,” “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “initiative” or “continue.” These forward-looking statements are based on our current plans and expectations and are subject to a number of known and unknown uncertainties and risks, many of which are beyond our control, which could significantly affect current plans and expectations and our future financial position and results of operations. These factors include, but are not limited to, (1) the impact of our substantial indebtedness and the ability to refinance such indebtedness on acceptable terms, (2) the impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Health Reform Law”), including the effects of any repeal of, or changes to, the Health Reform Law, the possible enactment of additional federal or state health care reforms and possible changes to other federal, state or local laws or regulations affecting the health care industry, (3) the effects related to the continued implementation of the sequestration spending reductions required under the Budget Control Act of 2011, and related legislation extending these reductions, and the potential for future deficit reduction legislation that may alter these spending reductions, which include cuts to Medicare payments, or create additional spending reductions, (4) increases in the amount and risk of collectability of uninsured accounts and deductibles and copayment amounts for insured accounts, (5) the ability to achieve operating and financial targets, and attain expected levels of patient volumes and control the costs of providing services, (6) possible changes in Medicare, Medicaid and other state programs, including Medicaid upper payment limit programs or Waiver Programs, that may impact reimbursements to health care providers and insurers, (7) the highly competitive nature of the health care business, (8) changes in service mix, revenue mix and surgical volumes, including potential declines in the population covered under managed care agreements, the ability to enter into and renew managed care provider agreements on acceptable terms and the impact of consumer-driven health plans and physician utilization trends and practices, (9) the efforts of insurers, health care providers and others to contain health care costs, (10) the outcome of our continuing efforts to monitor, maintain and comply with appropriate laws, regulations, policies and procedures, (11) increases in wages and the ability to attract and retain qualified management and personnel, including affiliated physicians, nurses and medical and technical support personnel, (12) the availability and terms of capital to fund the expansion of our business and improvements to our existing facilities, (13) changes in accounting practices, (14) changes in general economic conditions nationally and regionally in our markets, (15) the emergence and effects related to infectious diseases, (16) future divestitures which may result in charges and possible impairments of long-lived assets, (17) changes in business strategy or development plans, (18) delays in receiving payments for services provided, (19) the outcome of pending and any future tax audits, disputes and litigation associated with our tax positions, (20) potential adverse impact of known and unknown government investigations, litigation and other claims that may be made against us, (21) the impact of potential cybersecurity incidents or security breaches, (22) our ongoing ability to demonstrate meaningful use of certified electronic health record (“EHR”) technology, and (23) other risk factors described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a consequence, current plans, anticipated actions and future financial position and results of operations may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of HCA. You are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented in this report, which forward-looking statements reflect management’s views only as of the date of this report.

First Quarter 2017 Operations Summary

Revenues increased to $10.623 billion in the first quarter of 2017 from $10.260 billion in the first quarter of 2016. Net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc. totaled $659 million, or $1.74 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared to $694 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. First quarter 2017 results include gains on sales of facilities of $1 million. First quarter 2016 results include legal claim costs of $12 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, and net losses on sales of facilities of $1 million. All “per diluted share” disclosures are based upon amounts net of the applicable income taxes. Shares used for diluted earnings per share were 379.980 million shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and 410.575 million shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. During 2016 and the first quarter of 2017, we repurchased 36.325 million and 5.121 million shares of our common stock, respectively.

Revenues increased 3.5% on a consolidated basis and increased 3.3% on a same facility basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The increase in consolidated revenues can be attributed to the combined impact of a 1.7% increase in revenue per equivalent admission and a 1.8% increase in equivalent admissions. The same facility revenues increase resulted from the combined impact of a 1.7% increase in same facility revenue per equivalent admission and a 1.6% increase in same facility equivalent admissions.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, consolidated admissions and same facility admissions increased 1.3% and 1.2%, respectively. Surgeries increased 0.3% on a consolidated basis and were flat on a same facility basis during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Emergency department visits increased 1.4% on a consolidated basis and increased 1.1% on a same facility basis during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the provision for doubtful accounts declined $30 million, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The self-pay revenue deductions for charity care and uninsured discounts increased $131 million and $384 million, respectively, during the first quarter of 2017, compared to the first quarter of 2016. The sum of the provision for doubtful accounts, uninsured discounts and charity care, as a percentage of the sum of revenues, provision for doubtful accounts, uninsured discounts and charity care, was 33.4% for the first quarter of 2017, compared to 32.1% for the first quarter of 2016. Same facility uninsured admissions increased 3.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Cash flows from operating activities declined $119 million from $1.399 billion for the first quarter of 2016 to $1.280 billion for the first quarter of 2017. The decline relates primarily to the combined impact of net negative changes in working capital items of $64 million and a $68 million decline related to income taxes.

Results of Operations

Revenue/Volume Trends

Our revenues depend upon inpatient occupancy levels, the ancillary services and therapy programs ordered by physicians and provided to patients, the volume of outpatient procedures and the charge and negotiated payment rates for such services. Gross charges typically do not reflect what our facilities are actually paid. Our facilities have entered into agreements with third-party payers, including government programs and managed care health plans, under which the facilities are paid based upon the cost of providing services, predetermined rates per diagnosis, fixed per diem rates or discounts from gross charges. We do not pursue collection of amounts related to patients who meet our guidelines to qualify for charity care; therefore, they are not reported in revenues. We provide discounts to uninsured patients who do not qualify for Medicaid or charity care. After the

discounts are applied, we are still unable to collect a significant portion of uninsured patients’ accounts, and we record provisions for doubtful accounts (based upon our historical collection experience) related to uninsured patients in the period the services are provided to record the net self-pay revenues at the estimated amounts we expect to collect.

Revenues increased 3.5% from $10.260 billion in the first quarter of 2016 to $10.623 billion in the first quarter of 2017. Revenues are recorded during the period the health care services are provided, based upon the estimated amounts due from the patients and third-party payers. Third-party payers include federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies (including plans offered through the health insurance exchanges), and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances under managed care health plans are based upon the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Revenues related to uninsured patients and uninsured copayment and deductible amounts for patients who have health care coverage may have discounts applied (uninsured discounts and contractual discounts). Our revenues from our third-party payers, the uninsured and other payers for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 are summarized in the following table (dollars in millions):

 

     2017      Ratio     2016      Ratio

Consolidated and same facility revenue per equivalent admission each increased 1.7% in the first quarter of 2017, compared to the first quarter of 2016. Consolidated and same facility equivalent admissions increased 1.8% and 1.6%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2017, compared to the first quarter of 2016. Consolidated and same facility outpatient surgeries declined 0.3% and 0.5%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2017, compared to the first quarter of 2016. Consolidated and same facility inpatient surgeries increased 1.1% and 0.9%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2017, compared to the first quarter of 2016. Consolidated and same facility emergency department visits increased 1.4% and 1.1%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2017, compared to the first quarter of 2016.

To quantify the total impact of and trends related to uninsured accounts, we believe it is beneficial to view the direct uninsured revenue deductions (charity care and uninsured discounts) and provision for doubtful accounts in combination, rather than each separately. At March 31, 2017, our allowance for doubtful accounts represented 99.0% of the $4.929 billion total patient due accounts receivable balance. The patient due accounts receivable balance represents the estimated uninsured portion of our accounts receivable. A summary of these

Revenue/Volume Trends (continued)

 

We receive a significant portion of our revenues from government health programs, principally Medicare and Medicaid, which are highly regulated and subject to frequent and substantial changes. In 2011, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) approved a Medicaid waiver that allows Texas to continue receiving supplemental Medicaid reimbursement while expanding its Medicaid managed care program. Texas currently operates its Medicaid Waiver Program pursuant to this waiver, which CMS has agreed to extend through December 2017. We cannot predict whether the Texas Medicaid Waiver Program will be further extended, be revised or that revenues recognized from the program will not decline.

The Texas Medicaid Waiver Program includes two primary components: an indigent care component and a Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (“DSRIP”) component. Initiatives under the DSRIP program are designed to provide incentive payments to hospitals and other providers for their investments in delivery system reforms that increase access to health care, improve the quality of care and enhance the health of patients and families they serve. We provide indigent care services in several communities in the state of Texas, in affiliation with other hospitals. The state of Texas has been involved in efforts to increase the indigent care provided by private hospitals. As a result of additional indigent care being provided by private hospitals, public hospital districts or counties in Texas have available funds that were previously devoted to indigent care. The public hospital districts or counties are under no contractual or legal obligation to provide such indigent care. The public hospital districts or counties have elected to transfer some portion of these available funds to the state’s Medicaid program. Such action is at the sole discretion of the public hospital districts or counties. It is anticipated that these contributions to the state will be matched with federal Medicaid funds. The state then may make supplemental payments to hospitals in the state for Medicaid services rendered. Hospitals receiving Medicaid supplemental payments may include those that are providing additional indigent care services. Our Texas Medicaid revenues included Medicaid supplemental payments of $106 million ($30 million DSRIP related and $76 million indigent care related) and $102 million ($28 million DSRIP related and $74 million indigent care related) during the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

In addition, we receive supplemental payments in several other states. We are aware these supplemental payment programs are currently being reviewed by certain state agencies and CMS, and some states have made waiver requests to CMS to replace their existing supplemental payment programs. It is possible these reviews and waiver requests will result in the restructuring of such supplemental payment programs and could result in the payment programs being reduced or eliminated. Because deliberations about these programs are ongoing, we are unable to estimate the financial impact the program structure modifications, if any, may have on our results of operations.

Quarters Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016

Net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc. totaled $659 million, or $1.74 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $694 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2016. First quarter 2017 results include net gains on sales of facilities of $1 million. First quarter 2016 results include legal claim costs of $12 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, and net losses on sales of facilities of $1 million. All “per diluted share” disclosures are based upon amounts net of the applicable income taxes. Shares used for diluted earnings per share were 379.980 million shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and 410.575 million shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. During 2016 and the first quarter of 2017, we repurchased 36.325 million and 5.121 million shares of our common stock, respectively.

Revenues before provision for doubtful accounts increased 3.0% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. The provision for doubtful accounts declined $30 million from $790 million in the first quarter of 2016 to $760 million in the first quarter of 2017. The provision for doubtful accounts relates primarily to uninsured amounts due directly from patients, including copayment and deductible amounts for patients who have health care coverage. The self-pay revenue deductions for charity care and uninsured discounts increased $131 million and $384 million, respectively, during the first quarter of 2017, compared to the first quarter of 2016. The sum of the provision for doubtful accounts, uninsured discounts and charity care, as a percentage of the sum of revenues, the provision for doubtful accounts, uninsured discounts and charity care, was 33.4% for the first quarter of 2017, compared to 32.1% for the first quarter of 2016. At March 31, 2017, our allowance for doubtful accounts represented 99.0% of the $4.929 billion total patient due accounts receivable balance, including accounts, net of estimated contractual discounts, related to patients for which eligibility for Medicaid coverage or uninsured discounts was being evaluated.

Revenues increased 3.5% due to the combined impact of revenue per equivalent admission growth of 1.7% and a 1.8% increase in equivalent admissions for the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Same facility revenues increased 3.3% due to the combined impact of a 1.7% increase in same facility revenue per equivalent admission and a 1.6% increase in same facility equivalent admissions for the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016.

Salaries and benefits, as a percentage of revenues, were 46.1% in the first quarter of 2017 and 45.8% in the first quarter of 2016. Salaries and benefits per equivalent admission increased 2.4% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Same facility labor rate increases averaged 2.3% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016.

Supplies, as a percentage of revenues, were 16.9% in the first quarter of 2017 and 16.7% in the first quarter of 2016. Supply costs per equivalent admission increased 3.1% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Supply costs per equivalent admission increased 7.6% for medical devices and 1.6% for general medical and surgical items and declined 1.2% for pharmacy supplies in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016.

Other operating expenses, as a percentage of revenues, were 18.2% in the first quarter of 2017 and 18.1% in the first quarter of 2016. Other operating expenses is primarily comprised of contract services, professional fees, repairs and maintenance, rents and leases, utilities, insurance (including professional liability insurance) and nonincome taxes. Provisions for losses related to professional liability risks were $119 million and $112 million for the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Results of Operations (continued)

Quarters Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (continued)

 

Equity in earnings of affiliates was $10 million and $12 million in the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization increased $42 million, from $479 million in the first quarter of 2016 to $521 million in the first quarter of 2017. The increase in depreciation relates to increased routine capital expenditures, the purchase or completion of construction of five hospitals during 2016 and the completion of construction of a corporate office building during 2016.

Interest expense was $419 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $416 million in the first quarter of 2016. Our average debt balance was $31.387 billion for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $30.532 billion for the first quarter of 2016. The average effective interest rate for our long-term debt was 5.4% and 5.5% for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

During the first quarter of 2017, we recorded net gains on sales of facilities of $1 million, and during the first quarter of 2016, we recorded net losses on sales of facilities of $1 million.

We recorded $12 million of legal claim costs during the first quarter of 2016 related to the Health Midwest litigation.

The effective tax rates were 30.4% and 29.1% for the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate computations exclude net income attributable to noncontrolling interests as it relates to consolidated partnerships. Our provisions for income taxes for the first quarters of 2017 and 2016 included tax benefits of $67 million and $74 million, respectively, related to excess tax benefits from employee equity award settlements being recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes. Excluding the effect of these adjustments, the effective tax rate for the first quarters of 2017 and 2016 would have been 37.5% and 36.7%, respectively.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased from $117 million for the first quarter of 2016 to $118 million for the first quarter of 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.280 billion in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $1.399 billion in the first quarter of 2016. The $119 million decline in cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016 related primarily to the combined impact of net negative changes in working capital items of $64 million and a $68 million decline related to income taxes. The combined interest payments and net tax refunds in the first quarter of 2017 and 2016 were $537 million and $414 million, respectively. Working capital totaled $3.574 billion at March 31, 2017 and $3.252 billion at December 31, 2016.

Cash used in investing activities was $669 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $496 million in the first quarter of 2016. Acquisitions of hospitals and health care entities increased from $9 million in the first quarter of 2016 to $90 million in the first quarter of 2017. Excluding acquisitions, capital expenditures were $571 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $509 million in the first quarter of 2016. Capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, are expected to approximate $2.9 billion in 2017. At March 31, 2017, there were projects under construction which had estimated additional costs to complete and equip over the next five years of approximately $3.2 billion. We expect to finance capital expenditures with internally generated and borrowed funds.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

 

Cash used in financing activities totaled $504 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $792 million in the first quarter of 2016. During the first quarter of 2017, net cash flows used in financing activities included a net increase of $117 million in our indebtedness, repurchases of common stock of $424 million and distributions to noncontrolling interests of $145 million. During the first quarter of 2016, net cash flows used in financing activities included a net increase of $59 million in our indebtedness, repurchases of common stock of $621 million and distributions to noncontrolling interests of $111 million.

We are a highly leveraged company with significant debt service requirements. Our debt totaled $31.514 billion at March 31, 2017. Our interest expense was $419 million for the first quarter of 2017 and $416 million for the first quarter of 2016.

In addition to cash flows from operations, available sources of capital include amounts available under our senior secured credit facilities ($2.139 billion and $1.689 billion available as of March 31, 2017 and April 30, 2017, respectively) and anticipated access to public and private debt markets.

During March 2016, we issued $1.500 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.250% senior secured notes due 2026. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes and to retire a portion of one of our senior secured term loans. We also entered into a joinder agreement to retire the remaining portion of this senior secured term loan using proceeds from a new $1.500 billion senior secured term loan facility maturing in March 2023.

Investments of our professional liability insurance subsidiaries, to maintain statutory equity and pay claims, totaled $399 million and $385 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. An insurance subsidiary maintained net reserves for professional liability risks of $215 million at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Our facilities are insured by a 100% owned insurance subsidiary for losses up to $50 million per occurrence; however, this coverage is subject to a $15 million per occurrence self-insured retention. Net reserves for the self-insured professional liability risks retained were $1.292 billion and $1.279 billion at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Claims payments, net of reinsurance recoveries, during the next 12 months are expected to approximate $409 million. We estimate that approximately $359 million of the expected net claim payments during the next 12 months will relate to claims subject to the self-insured retention.

Management believes that cash flows from operations, amounts available under our senior secured credit facilities and our anticipated access to public and private debt markets will be sufficient to meet expected liquidity needs during the next 12 months.

Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in market values of securities. The investments in debt and equity securities of our 100% owned insurance subsidiaries were $395 million and $4 million, respectively, at March 31, 2017. These investments are carried at fair value, with changes in unrealized gains and losses being recorded as adjustments to other comprehensive income. At March 31, 2017, we had a net unrealized gain of $14 million on the insurance subsidiaries’ investment securities.

We are exposed to market risk related to market illiquidity. Investments in debt and equity securities of our 100% owned insurance subsidiaries could be impaired by the inability to access the capital markets. Should the 100% owned insurance subsidiaries require significant amounts of cash in excess of normal cash requirements to pay claims and other expenses on short notice, we may have difficulty selling these investments in a timely

manner or be forced to sell them at a price less than what we might otherwise have been able to in a normal market environment. We may be required to recognize other-than-temporary impairments on our investment securities in future periods should issuers default on interest payments or should the fair market valuations of the securities deteriorate due to ratings downgrades or other issue-specific factors.

We are also exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates, and we periodically enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to these fluctuations. Our interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments between two parties, based on common notional principal amounts and maturity dates. The notional amounts of the swap agreements represent balances used to calculate the exchange of cash flows and are not our assets or liabilities. Our credit risk related to these agreements is considered low because the swap agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions. The interest payments under these agreements are settled on a net basis. These derivatives have been recognized in the financial statements at their respective fair values. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives, which are designated as cash flow hedges, are included in other comprehensive income, and changes in the fair value of derivatives which have not been designated as hedges are recorded in operations.

With respect to our interest-bearing liabilities, approximately $4.044 billion of long-term debt at March 31, 2017 was subject to variable rates of interest, while the remaining balance in long-term debt of $27.470 billion at March 31, 2017 was subject to fixed rates of interest. Both the general level of interest rates and, for the senior secured credit facilities, our leverage affect our variable interest rates. Our variable debt is comprised primarily of amounts outstanding under the senior secured credit facilities. Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (2) the prime rate of Bank of America or (b) a LIBOR rate for the currency of such borrowing for the relevant interest period. The applicable margin for borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities may fluctuate according to a leverage ratio. The average effective interest rate for our long-term debt declined from 5.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 to 5.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

The estimated fair value of our total long-term debt was $33.267 billion at March 31, 2017. The estimates of fair value are based upon the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues of long-term debt with the same maturities. Based on a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates, the potential annualized reduction to future pretax earnings would be approximately $40 million. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in interest rates, we generally target a portion of our debt portfolio to be maintained at fixed rates.

Our international operations and the related market risks associated with foreign currencies are currently insignificant to our results of operations and financial position.

Tax Examinations

We are subject to examination by federal, state and foreign taxing authorities. Management believes HCA Healthcare, Inc. and its predecessors, subsidiaries and affiliates properly reported taxable income and paid taxes in accordance with applicable laws and agreements established with IRS, state and foreign taxing authorities and final resolution of any disputes will not have a material, adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position. However, if payments due upon final resolution of any issues exceed our recorded estimates, such resolutions could have a material, adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.

The information called for by this item is provided under the caption “Market Risk” under Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

HCA’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of HCA’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded HCA’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We operate in a highly regulated and litigious industry. As a result, various lawsuits, claims and legal and regulatory proceedings have been and can be expected to be instituted or asserted against us. We are also subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims for personal injuries or wrongful restriction of, or interference with, physicians’ staff privileges. In certain of these actions the claimants may seek punitive damages against us which may not be covered by insurance. We are also subject to claims by various taxing authorities for additional taxes and related interest and penalties. The resolution of any such lawsuits, claims or legal and regulatory proceedings could have a material, adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Health care companies are subject to numerous investigations by various governmental agencies. Further, under the federal False Claims Act (“FCA”), private parties have the right to bring qui tam, or “whistleblower,” suits against companies that submit false claims for payments to, or improperly retain overpayments from, the government. Some states have adopted similar state whistleblower and false claims provisions. Certain of our individual facilities have received, and from time to time, other facilities may receive, government inquiries from, and may be subject to investigation by, federal and state agencies. Depending on whether the underlying conduct in these or future inquiries or investigations could be considered systemic, their resolution could have a material, adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

Reference is made to the factors set forth under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q and other risk factors described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which are incorporated herein by reference.
