HCA Healthcare Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results

HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: HCA) today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Key third quarter metrics (all percentage changes compare 3Q 2022 to 3Q 2021 unless otherwise noted):

  • Revenues totaled $14.971 billion
  • Net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc. totaled $1.134 billion, or $3.91 per diluted share
  • Adjusted EBITDA totaled $2.902 billion
  • Cash flows from operating activities totaled $3.020 billion
  • Same facility admissions declined 1.5 percent while same facility equivalent admissions increased 2.3 percent

“Despite a difficult comparison to the prior year due to the COVID-19 Delta variant, we are pleased with our results and the execution of our teams in a challenging operating environment, which included tremendous efforts from our courageous frontline caregivers and support teams who worked tirelessly to provide uninterrupted care during Hurricane Ian,” said Sam Hazen, Chief Executive Officer of HCA Healthcare.

Revenues in the third quarter of 2022 totaled $14.971 billion, compared to $15.276 billion in the third quarter of 2021. Net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc. totaled $1.134 billion, or $3.91 per diluted share, compared to $2.269 billion, or $7.00 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021. Results for the third quarter of 2022 include losses on sales of facilities of $3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. Results for the third quarter of 2021 include gains on sales of facilities of $1.047 billion, or $2.43 per diluted share, related to the sale of four hospitals in Georgia and other health care entity investments. In September 2022, the state of Florida received approval from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for its directed payment program for the program year that began October 1, 2021 and ended September 30, 2022. Revenues for the third quarter of 2022 include approximately $266 million for the full program year. Other operating expenses include approximately $125 million from provider tax assessments related to the same period.

For the third quarter of 2022, Adjusted EBITDA totaled $2.902 billion, compared to $3.224 billion in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. A table providing supplemental information on Adjusted EBITDA and reconciling net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc. to Adjusted EBITDA is included in this release.

Results for the third quarter 2022 include Hurricane Ian’s impact, primarily on our Florida facilities, causing additional expenses and lost revenues estimated at $35 million. This amount is prior to any potential insurance recoveries.

Same facility revenue per equivalent admission declined 3.5 percent in the third quarter of 2022, compared to the third quarter of 2021. Year over year comparisons were impacted by significantly higher COVID-19 volumes in the prior year, when COVID-19 represented 12.7 percent of same-facility admissions versus 5.2 percent in the current year quarter.

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) developments related to COVID-19, including, without limitation, the length and severity of its impact and the spread of virus strains with new epidemiological characteristics;

changes in revenues due to declining patient volumes, changes in payer mix, deteriorating macroeconomic conditions (including increases in uninsured and underinsured patients) and capacity constraints;

(a) Net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc., excluding losses (gains) on sales of facilities and losses on retirement of debt, 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 losses (gains) on sales of facilities and losses on retirement of debt, 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 losses (gains) on sales of facilities and losses on retirement of debt, 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 losses (gains) on sales of facilities and losses on retirement of debt, 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 losses (gains) on sales of facilities and losses on retirement of debt 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 losses (gains) on sales of facilities and losses on retirement of debt, 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 losses (gains) on sales of facilities and losses on retirement of debt, 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 losses (gains) on sales of facilities and losses on retirement of debt, and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
