Revenues
|
|
|
|
|
$45.5 to $46.5 billion
|
Adjusted EBITDA

income tax benefit, or $0.31 per diluted share, for excess tax

component of the provision for income taxes. The timing and amounts
related to employee equity award settlements are difficult to project
and may vary from this estimate.
-

which closed February 1, 2018. These facilities had annual revenues of
approximately $1 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $180
million in 2017.
-
2018 guidance includes an estimated impact of $1.25 earnings per
diluted share related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on our deferred tax assets and liabilities.

to, gains or losses on sales of facilities, losses on retirement of
debt, legal claim costs and impairments of long-lived assets.

forecasted net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc. to forecasted
Adjusted EBITDA is included in this release.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the federal securities laws, which involve risks and
uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include the Company’s
financial guidance for the year ending December 31, 2018, as well as
other statements that do not relate solely to historical or current
facts. Forward-looking statements 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 or changes to its implementation, 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 supplemental payment programs or
Medicaid waiver programs, that may impact reimbursements to health care
providers and insurers and the size of the uninsured or underinsured
population, (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 third-party
payer agreements, the ability to enter into and renew third-party payer
provider agreements on acceptable terms and the impact of
consumer-driven health plans and physician utilization trends and
practices, (9) the efforts of health insurers, health care providers,
large employer groups 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 technology, (23)
the impact of natural disasters, such as hurricanes and floods, or
similar events beyond our control, (24) changes in interpretations,
assumptions, and expectations regarding the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,
including additional guidance that may be issued by federal and state
taxing authorities or other standard-setting bodies, and (25) other risk
factors described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2017 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Many of the factors that will determine our future results
are beyond our ability to control or predict. In light of the
significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements
contained herein, readers should not place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s views only as of
the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any
forward-looking statements, or to make any other forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.

(a)
|
|
Net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc., excluding gains on
sales of facilities, and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as
measures of financial performance under generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"). We believe net income attributable
to HCA Healthcare, Inc., excluding gains on sales of facilities, 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 Healthcare, Inc., excluding gains on sales of
facilities, and Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measures to review
and assess operating performance of its health care facilities and
their management teams.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Management and investors review both the overall performance
(including net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc.,
excluding gains on sales of facilities, and GAAP net income
attributable to HCA Healthcare, 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 gains on
sales of facilities 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 Healthcare, Inc., excluding gains on
sales of facilities, and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of
financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as
alternatives to net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, 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 Healthcare, Inc., excluding
gains on sales of facilities, and Adjusted EBITDA are not
measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are susceptible
to varying calculations, net income attributable to HCA Healthcare,
Inc., excluding gains on sales of facilities, and Adjusted EBITDA,
as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled
measures presented by other companies.

The Company's forecasted guidance range is based on current

(a)
|
|
The Company does not forecast the impact of items such as, but not
limited to, losses (gains) on sales of facilities, losses on
retirement of debt, legal claim costs (benefits) and impairments of
long-lived assets because the Company does not believe that it can
forecast these items with sufficient accuracy.
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial
performance under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure that supplements
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 Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess
operating performance of its health care facilities and their
management teams.

Management and investors review both the overall performance
(including net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, 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.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP
and should not be considered as an alternative to net income
attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc. as a measure of operating
performance or cash flows from operating, investing and financing
activities as a measure of liquidity. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not
a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is susceptible
to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be
comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other
companies.
