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 Medicare, Medicaid and other programs), managed care health plans (including the health insurance exchanges), commercial insurance companies 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 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 related to uninsured accounts to record the net self-pay revenues at the estimated amounts we expect to collect. Our revenues from third-party payers, the uninsured and other payers for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are summarized in the following table (dollars in millions):

Recent Pronouncements

The standard was originally scheduled to become effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption was originally not to be permitted under US GAAP. In July 2015, the FASB decided to defer the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year, but will permit entities to adopt one year earlier if they choose (i.e., the original effective date). 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. While we are continuing to evaluate the effects the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements and financial disclosures, we do not believe the adoption will have a significant impact on our recognition of net revenues.

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 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. While we are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-02 to determine how our financial statements will be affected, we believe the primary effect of adopting the new standard will be to record assets and obligations for current operating leases.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships (“ASU 2016-05”), which clarified that a novation of a derivative contract in a hedge accounting relationship does not, in and of itself, represent a termination of the original derivative instrument or a change in the critical terms of the hedge relationship. We elected to adopt ASU 2016-05 prospectively effective January 1, 2016.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which requires changes to how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. We elected to adopt ASU 2016-09 prospectively effective January 1, 2016.

Reclassifications

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

NOTE 3 — INCOME TAXES

Our liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $542 million, including accrued interest of $71 million, as of June 30, 2016 ($554 million and $73 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2015). Unrecognized tax benefits of $223 million ($233 million as of December 31, 2015) would affect the effective rate, if recognized.

Our provision for income taxes for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 included tax benefits of $44 million and $118 million, respectively, related to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, which changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. Under ASU 2016-09, we no longer record 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) in equity. Instead, we recognize these tax benefits (and deficiencies, if applicable) as a component of our tax provision. This reporting change is applied prospectively and prior period amounts are not restated (the excess tax benefits for the quarter and six months ending June 30, 2015, related to the settlement of employee equity awards, were $115 million and $185 million, respectively, and were recorded in equity). ASU 2016-09 requires companies to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity, as previously required. We have elected to apply the change to the statement of cash flows presentation prospectively.

During 2014, the IRS Examination Division began an audit of HCA Holdings, Inc.’s 2011 and 2012 federal income tax returns. We are also subject to examination by state and foreign taxing authorities. Depending on the resolution of any IRS, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts):

The average expected maturity of the investments in debt securities at June 30, 2016 was 3.7 years, compared to the average scheduled maturity of 5.2 years. Expected and scheduled maturities may differ because the issuers of certain securities have the right to call, prepay or otherwise redeem such obligations prior to their scheduled maturity date.

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.

The following table sets forth our interest rate swap agreements, which have been designated as cash flow hedges, at June 30, 2016 (dollars in millions):

 

     Notional

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision where we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default on the indebtedness. As of June 30, 2016, we have not been required to post any collateral related to these agreements. If we had breached these provisions at June 30, 2016, we would have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their aggregate, estimated termination value of $126 million.

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, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes 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, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

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 management’s judgment, after consideration of market factors and the absence of market transparency, market liquidity and observable inputs. Our valuation models derived fair market values compared to tax-equivalent yields of other securities of similar credit worthiness and similar effective maturities.

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.

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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we determined the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives.

2016 Activity

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.

2015 Activity

During December 2015, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2026. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

During November 2015, we issued $1.000 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2026. We used the net proceeds to redeem all $1.000 billion aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 6.500% senior notes due 2016.

During June 2015, we entered into a joinder agreement to retire certain of our existing senior secured term loans using proceeds from a new $1.400 billion senior secured term loan credit facility maturing in June 2020. The pretax loss on retirement of debt was $3 million.

NOTE 9 — CONTINGENCIES AND LEGAL CLAIM COSTS

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 subject to claims 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.

Government Investigations, Claims and Litigation

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.

On April 2, 2014, the UK Competition and Markets Authority (“Authority”) issued a final report on its investigation of the private health care market in London. It concluded, among other things, that many private hospitals face little competition in central London, and that there are high barriers to entry. As part of its remedies package, the Authority ordered HCA to sell either: (a) its London Bridge and Princess Grace hospitals; or (b) its Wellington Hospital, including the Platinum Medical Centre. It also imposed other remedial conditions on HCA and other private health care providers, including: regulation of incentives to referring physicians; increased access to information about fees and performance; and restrictions on future arrangements between private providers and National Health Service private patient units. HCA disagrees with the Authority’s assessment of the competitive conditions for hospitals in London, as well as its proposed divestiture remedy, and appealed the decision to the Competition Appeal Tribunal. The Competition Appeal Tribunal overturned certain of the Authority’s findings and sent the matter back to the Authority for further proceedings. In November 2015, following consideration of additional evidence, the Authority issued a provisional decision that again found there were adverse effects on competition in the private hospital market in central London. The November 2015 provisional decision modified some of the Authority’s earlier factual conclusions and acknowledged certain mitigating factors for some of the effects noted in the prior decision. The November 2015 provisional decision also offered additional potential remedies, which continued to include divestment of one or more of HCA’s London hospitals. Following a period of consultation on the potential additional remedies, the Authority

concluded, in a provisional decision issued March 22, 2016, that none of the additional remedies, including divestiture, would be both effective and proportionate. A final decision is expected during the third quarter of 2016. Should HCA or any other party disagree with the Authority’s final decision, there would be an opportunity to appeal to the Competitive Appeal Tribunal.

Health Midwest Litigation

In October 2009, the Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City, a nonprofit health foundation, filed suit against HCA Inc. in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri and alleged that HCA did not fund the level of capital expenditures and uncompensated care agreed to in connection with HCA’s purchase of hospitals from Health Midwest in 2003. The central issue in the case was whether HCA’s construction of new hospitals counted towards its $450 million five-year capital commitment. In addition, the plaintiff alleged that HCA did not make its required capital expenditures in a timely fashion. On January 24, 2013, the court ruled in favor of the plaintiff and awarded at least $162 million. The court also ordered a court-supervised accounting of HCA’s capital expenditures, as well as of expenditures on charity and uncompensated care during the ten years following the purchase. The court also indicated it would award plaintiff attorneys fees, which the parties have stipulated are approximately $12 million for the trial phase. HCA recorded $175 million of legal claim costs in the fourth quarter of 2012 related to this ruling, and, consistent with the judge’s order, began accruing interest on that sum at 9% per annum. On April 25, 2014, the parties stipulated to an additional $78 million shortfall relating to the capital expenditures issue. HCA recorded $78 million of legal claims costs in the first quarter of 2014 as a result of the stipulation, and accrued interest on that amount at 9% per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the stipulation, the parties preserved their respective rights to contest the judge’s underlying ruling, whether through motions in the trial court or on appeal. On February 9, 2015, the parties reached an agreement to settle the part of their dispute relating to charity and uncompensated care for $15 million. The foundation is required to use that amount, net of attorneys’ fees, for charitable activities in the Kansas City area. The parties also agreed on an additional amount for attorneys’ fees for the plaintiff for the accounting phase of the case. The parties filed post-trial motions, on which the court ruled on October 21, 2015. The court denied defendants’ motion to have the court change its rulings on liability and damages related to the capital expenditures issue. The court granted the plaintiff’s motion for an award of additional pre-judgment interest, but did not specify whether the interest awarded was simple interest or would be compounded. The court subsequently concluded that interest was to be compounded, and on December 9, 2015, the court entered judgment in the case in the total sum of $434 million, with interest continuing to accrue at 9% per annum, compounded annually, from and after November 19, 2015, until the matter is resolved. At June 30, 2016, the Company had accrued liabilities of $458 million for the damages, costs and interest related to this litigation. On January 15, 2016, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal in the Missouri Court of Appeals for the Western District. The Court of Appeals has set a schedule that would complete the parties’ briefing by November 2016. Briefing will likely be followed by oral argument, which has not yet been scheduled.

NOTE 11 — SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION (continued)

 

Adjusted segment EBITDA is defined as income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, losses (gains) on sales of facilities, losses on retirement of debt, 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. The geographic distributions of our revenues, equity in earnings of affiliates, adjusted segment EBITDA and depreciation and amortization for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are summarized in the following table (dollars in millions):

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 effects related to the implementation 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”), possible delays in or complications related to implementation of the Health Reform Law, court challenges, the possible enactment of additional federal or state health care reforms and possible changes to the Health Reform Law and 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) our ongoing ability to demonstrate meaningful use of certified electronic health record (“EHR”) technology, and (22) other risk factors described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 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. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Health Care Reform

The Health Reform Law changes how health care services are covered, delivered and reimbursed through expanded coverage of uninsured individuals, reduced growth in Medicare program spending, reductions in Medicare and Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital payments, and the establishment of programs in which reimbursement is tied to quality and integration. In addition, the Health Reform Law reforms certain aspects of health insurance, expands existing efforts to tie Medicare and Medicaid payments to performance and quality, and contains provisions intended to strengthen fraud and abuse enforcement. The Health Reform Law is expanding coverage through a combination of public program expansion and private sector health insurance and other reforms. Most of the provisions of the Health Reform Law that seek to decrease the number of uninsured became effective January 1, 2014. However, the ongoing effect of the Health Reform Law is uncertain as a result of a number of factors, including the 2016 federal election, efforts to repeal or revise the law and uncertainty regarding how many states will ultimately implement the Medicaid expansion provisions of the law.

Second Quarter 2016 Operations Summary

Revenues increased to $10.319 billion in the second quarter of 2016 from $9.897 billion in the second quarter of 2015. Net income attributable to HCA Holdings, Inc. totaled $658 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to $507 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Second quarter 2016 results include a $44 million tax benefit, or $0.11 per diluted share, related to our early adoption, during the first quarter of 2016, of a new accounting standard that requires the excess tax benefits related to employee equity award settlements to be recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes for periods subsequent to adoption. Second quarter 2016 results also include legal claim costs of $10 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, and net gains on sales of facilities of $6 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. Second quarter 2015 results include net losses on sales of facilities of $5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, and losses on retirement of debt of $125 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. All “per diluted share” disclosures are based upon amounts net of the applicable income taxes. Shares used for diluted earnings per share were 398.659 million shares for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and 429.369 million shares for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. During 2015 and the first six months of 2016, we repurchased 31.991 million and 24.427 million shares of our common stock, respectively.

Revenues increased 4.3% on a consolidated basis and increased 3.7% on a same facility basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The increase in consolidated revenues can be attributed to the combined impact of a 2.4% increase in revenue per equivalent admission and a 1.9% increase in equivalent admissions. The same facility revenues increase resulted from the combined impact of a 2.1% increase in same facility revenue per equivalent admission and a 1.6% increase in same facility equivalent admissions.

During the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, consolidated admissions and same facility admissions each increased 0.6%. Surgeries increased 2.4% on a consolidated basis and 1.6% on a same facility basis during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Emergency department visits increased 4.3% on a consolidated basis and 4.1% on a same facility basis during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the provision for doubtful accounts declined $273 million, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The self-pay revenue deductions for charity care and uninsured discounts increased $205 million and $667 million, respectively, during the second quarter of 2016, compared to the second quarter of 2015. 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 32.5% for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 30.7% for the second quarter of 2015. Same facility uninsured admissions increased 5.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Second Quarter 2016 Operations Summary (continued)

 

Electronic health record incentive income declined $13 million, from $18 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $5 million in the second quarter of 2016. Share-based compensation expense increased $9 million, from $55 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $64 million in the second quarter of 2016.

Cash flows from operating activities increased $292 million from $1.057 billion for the second quarter of 2015 to $1.349 billion for the second quarter of 2016. The increase is related primarily to the $246 million favorable change in income taxes, including the accounting presentation change for excess tax benefits related to equity award settlements.

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 significant provisions for doubtful accounts (based upon our historical collection experience) related to uninsured patients in the period the services are provided.

Revenue/Volume Trends (continued)

 

Revenues increased 4.3% from $9.897 billion in the second quarter of 2015 to $10.319 billion in the second quarter of 2016. 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 Medicare, Medicaid and other programs), managed care health plans (including the health insurance exchanges), commercial insurance companies 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 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 related to uninsured accounts to record the net self-pay revenues at the estimated amounts we expect to collect. Our revenues from our third-party payers, the uninsured and other payers for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are summarized in the following table (dollars in millions):

of 2015. Consolidated and same facility outpatient surgeries increased 2.8% and 1.5%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2016, compared to the second quarter of 2015. Consolidated and same facility inpatient surgeries increased 1.7% and 1.8%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2016, compared to the second quarter of 2015. Consolidated and same facility emergency department visits increased 4.3% and 4.1%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2016, compared to the second quarter of 2015.

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 June 30, 2016, our allowance for doubtful accounts represented 95.7% of the $5.273 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 adjustments to revenues amounts, related to uninsured accounts, for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 follows (dollars in millions):

 

     Quarter     Six Months  
     2016      Ratio     2015      Ratio     2016      Ratio     2015      Ratio

Same facility uninsured admissions increased by 1,867 admissions, or 5.7%, in the second quarter of 2016, compared to the second quarter of 2015. Same facility uninsured admissions increased by 10.6%, in the first quarter of 2016, compared to the first quarter of 2015. Same facility uninsured admissions in 2015, compared to 2014, increased 8.6% in the fourth quarter of 2015, increased 13.6% in the third quarter of 2015, increased 8.7% in the second quarter of 2015 and declined 12.5% in the first quarter of 2015. We believe the decline in the first quarter of 2015, compared to the prior year quarter, was primarily due to previously uninsured patients obtaining medical coverage through the health insurance exchanges and Medicaid expansion programs. We believe the benefits from the health insurance exchanges and Medicaid expansion programs that we began realizing during 2014 are now reflected in both periods in our quarterly comparisons.

The approximate percentages of our admissions related to Medicare, managed Medicare, Medicaid, managed Medicaid, managed care and other insurers and the uninsured for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are set forth in the following table.

At June 30, 2016, we had 82 hospitals in the states of Texas and Florida. During the second quarter of 2016, 56% of our admissions and 47% of our revenues were generated by these hospitals. Uninsured admissions in Texas and Florida represented 69% of our uninsured admissions during the second quarter of 2016.

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. Although Texas currently operates its Medicaid Waiver Program pursuant to this waiver, the current waiver expires on September 30, 2016. Texas submitted an application to extend its Waiver Program, and in May 2016, CMS agreed to extend the Waiver Program 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 $82 million ($25 million DSRIP related and $57 million indigent care related) and $88 million ($22 million DSRIP related and $66 million indigent care related) during the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $184 million ($53 million DSRIP related

and $131 million indigent care related) and $165 million ($48 million DSRIP related and $117 million indigent care related) during the first six months of 2016 and 2015, 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.

Electronic Health Record Incentive Payments

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides for Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments for eligible hospitals and professionals that adopt and meaningfully use certified EHR technology. We recognized $5 million and $18 million of electronic health record incentive income, primarily related to Medicare, during the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively. We recognized $9 million and $37 million of electronic health record incentive income, primarily related to Medicare, during the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. For 2016, we estimate EHR incentive income will be in the range of $10 million to $15 million.

Quarters Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

Net income attributable to HCA Holdings, Inc. totaled $658 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $507 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2015. Second quarter 2016 results include a $44 million tax benefit, or $0.11 per diluted share, related to our early adoption, during the first quarter of 2016, of a new accounting standard that requires the excess tax benefits related to employee equity award settlements to be recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes for periods subsequent to adoption. Second quarter 2016 results also include legal claim costs of $10 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, and net gains on sales of facilities of $6 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. Second quarter 2015 results include losses on retirement of debt of $125 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, and net losses on sales of facilities of $5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. All “per diluted share” disclosures are based upon amounts net of the applicable income taxes. Shares used for diluted earnings per share were 398.659 million shares for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and 429.369 million shares for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. During 2015 and the first six months of 2016, we repurchased 31.991 million and 24.427 million shares of our common stock, respectively.

Revenues before provision for doubtful accounts increased 1.4% for the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015. The provision for doubtful accounts declined $273 million from $1.035 billion in the second quarter of 2015 to $762 million in the second quarter of 2016. 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 $205 million and $667 million, respectively, during the second quarter of 2016, compared to the second quarter of 2015. 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 32.5% for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 30.7% for the second quarter of 2015. At June 30, 2016, our allowance for doubtful accounts represented 95.7% of the $5.273 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 4.3% due to the combined impact of revenue per equivalent admission growth of 2.4% and a 1.9% increase in equivalent admissions for the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015. Same facility revenues increased 3.7% due to the combined impact of a 2.1% increase in same facility revenue per equivalent admission and a 1.6% increase in same facility equivalent admissions for the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015.

Salaries and benefits, as a percentage of revenues, were 45.5% in the second quarter of 2016 and 45.4% in the second quarter of 2015. Salaries and benefits per equivalent admission increased 2.5% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015. Same facility labor rate increases averaged 2.2% for the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015.

Supplies, as a percentage of revenues, were 16.7% in the second quarter of 2016 and 16.9% in the second quarter of 2015. Supply costs per equivalent admission increased 1.0% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015. Supply costs per equivalent admission increased 3.7% for medical devices and 1.3% for pharmacy supplies and declined 0.5% for general medical and surgical items in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015.

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 $111 million and $102 million for the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively.

We recognized $5 million and $18 million of electronic health record incentive income primarily related to Medicare incentives during the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Equity in earnings of affiliates was $10 million in each of the second quarters of 2016 and 2015.

Depreciation and amortization increased $20 million, from $469 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $489 million in the second quarter of 2016.

Interest expense was $427 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $425 million in the second quarter of 2015. Our average debt balance was $31.117 billion for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $29.623 billion for the second quarter of 2015. The average effective interest rate for our long-term debt declined from 5.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 to 5.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

During the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, we recorded net gains on sales of facilities of $6 million and net losses on sales of facilities of $5 million, respectively.

During June 2015, we entered into a joinder agreement to retire certain of our existing senior secured term loans using proceeds from a new $1.400 billion senior secured term loan credit facility maturing on June 2020. The pretax loss on retirement of debt was $3 million. During May 2015, we issued $1.600 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.375% senior notes due 2025. We used the net proceeds to redeem all $1.525 billion aggregate principal amount of our 7 3/4% senior notes due 2021. The pretax loss on retirement of debt related to this redemption was $122 million.

We recorded $10 million of legal claim costs during the second quarter of 2016 related to the Health Midwest litigation for court-awarded interest costs.

The effective tax rates were 34.1% and 38.7% for the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The effective tax rate computations exclude net income attributable to noncontrolling interests as it relates to consolidated partnerships. Our provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2016 included a tax benefit of $44 million related to our early adoption, during the first quarter of 2016, of ASU 2016-09 which requires the excess tax benefits related to employee equity award settlements be recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes for periods subsequent to adoption. Excluding the effect of this adjustment, the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2016 would have been 38.5%.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests declined from $158 million for the second quarter of 2015 to $133 million for the second quarter of 2016. The decline in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests related primarily to joint ventures in our England market.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

The effective tax rate computations exclude net income attributable to noncontrolling interests as it relates to consolidated partnerships. Our provision for income taxes for the first six months of 2016 included a tax benefit of $118 million related to our early adoption, during the first quarter of 2016, of ASU 2016-09 which requires the excess tax benefits related to employee equity award settlements be recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes for periods subsequent to adoption. Excluding the effect of this adjustment, the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2016 would have been 37.6%.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests declined from $287 million for the first six months of 2015 to $250 million for the first six months of 2016. The decline in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests related primarily to joint ventures in our England market, a Texas market and an Oklahoma market.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $2.748 billion in the first six months of 2016 compared to $2.075 billion in the first six months of 2015. The $673 million increase in cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2016 compared to the first six months of 2015 related primarily to the $217 million increase in net income (which includes the $118 million tax benefit related to our adoption of ASU 2016-09) and net positive changes in working capital items of $325 million. The combined interest payments and net tax payments in the first six months of 2016 and 2015 were $1.325 billion and $1.391 billion, respectively. Working capital totaled $3.699 billion at June 30, 2016 and $3.716 billion at December 31, 2015.

Cash used in investing activities was $1.555 billion in the first six months of 2016 compared to $1.009 billion in the first six months of 2015. Acquisitions of hospitals and health care entities increased from $95 million in the first six months of 2015 to $430 million in the first six months of 2016. Excluding acquisitions, capital expenditures were $1.172 billion in the first six months of 2016 and $1.004 billion in the first six months of 2015. Capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, are expected to approximate $2.7 billion in 2016. At June 30, 2016, there were projects under construction which had estimated additional costs to complete and equip over the next five years of approximately $2.7 billion. We expect to finance capital expenditures with internally generated and borrowed funds.

Cash used in financing activities totaled $1.243 billion in the first six months of 2016 compared to $959 million in the first six months of 2015. During the first six months of 2016, net cash flows used in financing activities included a net increase of $935 million in our indebtedness, repurchases of common stock of $1.858 billion, distributions to noncontrolling interests of $205 million and payments of debt issuance costs of $24 million. During the first six months of 2015, net cash flows used in financing activities included a net increase of $104 million in our indebtedness, repurchases of common stock of $940 million, distributions to noncontrolling interests of $237 million and payments of debt issuance costs of $33 million.

We are a highly leveraged company with significant debt service requirements. Our debt totaled $31.452 billion at June 30, 2016. Our interest expense was $843 million for the first six months of 2016 and $844 million for the first six months of 2015.

In addition to cash flows from operations, available sources of capital include amounts available under our senior secured credit facilities ($1.983 billion and $2.136 billion available as of June 30, 2016 and July 31, 2016, 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.

During December 2015, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2026. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

During November 2015, we issued $1.000 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2026. We used the net proceeds to redeem all $1.000 billion aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 6.500% senior notes due 2016.

During June 2015, we entered into a joinder agreement to retire certain of our existing senior secured term loans using proceeds from a new $1.400 billion senior secured term loan credit facility maturing in June 2020. The pretax loss on retirement of debt was $3 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

 

During May 2015, we issued $1.600 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.375% senior notes due 2025. We used the net proceeds to redeem all $1.525 billion aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 73/4% senior notes due 2021. The pretax loss on retirement of debt related to this redemption was $122 million.

During January 2015, we issued $1.000 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.375% senior notes due 2025. We used a portion of the net proceeds to repay at maturity our $750 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due 2015.

Investments of our professional liability insurance subsidiaries, to maintain statutory equity and pay claims, totaled $467 million and $482 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. An insurance subsidiary maintained net reserves for professional liability risks of $224 million and $261 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. 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 $1.241 billion and $1.160 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Claims payments, net of reinsurance recoveries, during the next 12 months are expected to approximate $364 million. We estimate that approximately $313 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 $463 million and $4 million, respectively, at June 30, 2016. These investments are carried at fair value, with changes in unrealized gains and losses being recorded as adjustments to other comprehensive income. At June 30, 2016, we had a net unrealized gain of $25 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

Market Risk (continued)

With respect to our interest-bearing liabilities, approximately $4.165 billion of long-term debt at June 30, 2016 was subject to variable rates of interest, while the remaining balance in long-term debt of $27.287 billion at June 30, 2016 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 5.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to 5.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The estimated fair value of our total long-term debt was $33.018 billion at June 30, 2016. 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 $42 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

The IRS Examination Division began an audit of HCA Holdings, Inc.’s 2011 and 2012 federal income tax returns during 2014. We are also subject to examination by state and foreign taxing authorities.

Management believes HCA Holdings, 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.

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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 subject to claims 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.

Government Investigations, Claims and Litigation

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.

On April 2, 2014, the UK Competition and Markets Authority (“Authority”) issued a final report on its investigation of the private health care market in London. It concluded, among other things, that many private hospitals face little competition in central London, and that there are high barriers to entry. As part of its remedies package, the Authority ordered HCA to sell either: (a) its London Bridge and Princess Grace hospitals; or (b) its Wellington Hospital, including the Platinum Medical Centre. It also imposed other remedial conditions on HCA and other private health care providers, including: regulation of incentives to referring physicians; increased access to information about fees and performance; and restrictions on future arrangements between private providers and National Health Service private patient units. HCA disagrees with the Authority’s

assessment of the competitive conditions for hospitals in London, as well as its proposed divestiture remedy, and appealed the decision to the Competition Appeal Tribunal. The Competition Appeal Tribunal overturned certain of the Authority’s findings and sent the matter back to the Authority for further proceedings. In November 2015, following consideration of additional evidence, the Authority issued a provisional decision that again found there were adverse effects on competition in the private hospital market in central London. The November 2015 provisional decision modified some of the Authority’s earlier factual conclusions and acknowledged certain mitigating factors for some of the effects noted in the prior decision. The November 2015 provisional decision also offered additional potential remedies, which continued to include divestment of one or more of HCA’s London hospitals. Following a period of consultation on the potential additional remedies, the Authority concluded, in a provisional decision issued March 22, 2016, that none of the additional remedies, including divestiture, would be both effective and proportionate. A final decision is expected during the third quarter of 2016. Should HCA or any other party disagree with the Authority’s final decision, there would be an opportunity to appeal to the Competitive Appeal Tribunal.

Health Midwest Litigation

In October 2009, the Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City, a nonprofit health foundation, filed suit against HCA Inc. in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri and alleged that HCA did not fund the level of capital expenditures and uncompensated care agreed to in connection with HCA’s purchase of hospitals from Health Midwest in 2003. The central issue in the case was whether HCA’s construction of new hospitals counted towards its $450 million five-year capital commitment. In addition, the plaintiff alleged that HCA did not make its required capital expenditures in a timely fashion. On January 24, 2013, the court ruled in favor of the plaintiff and awarded at least $162 million. The court also ordered a court-supervised accounting of HCA’s capital expenditures, as well as of expenditures on charity and uncompensated care during the ten years following the purchase. The court also indicated it would award plaintiff attorneys fees, which the parties have stipulated are approximately $12 million for the trial phase. HCA recorded $175 million of legal claim costs in the fourth quarter of 2012 related to this ruling, and, consistent with the judge’s order, began accruing interest on that sum at 9% per annum. On April 25, 2014, the parties stipulated to an additional $78 million shortfall relating to the capital expenditures issue. HCA recorded $78 million of legal claims costs in the first quarter of 2014 as a result of the stipulation, and accrued interest on that amount at 9% per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the stipulation, the parties preserved their respective rights to contest the judge’s underlying ruling, whether through motions in the trial court or on appeal. On February 9, 2015, the parties reached an agreement to settle the part of their dispute relating to charity and uncompensated care for $15 million. The foundation is required to use that amount, net of attorneys’ fees, for charitable activities in the Kansas City area. The parties also agreed on an additional amount for attorneys’ fees for the plaintiff for the accounting phase of the case. The parties filed post-trial motions, on which the court ruled on October 21, 2015. The court denied defendants’ motion to have the court change its rulings on liability and damages related to the capital expenditures issue. The court granted the plaintiff’s motion for an award of additional pre-judgment interest, but did not specify whether the interest awarded was simple interest or would be compounded. The court subsequently concluded that interest was to be compounded, and on December 9, 2015, the court entered judgment in the case in the total sum of $434 million, with interest continuing to accrue at 9% per annum, compounded annually, from and after November 19, 2015, until the matter is resolved. At June 30, 2016, the Company had accrued liabilities of $458 million for the damages, costs and interest related to this litigation. On January 15, 2016, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal in the Missouri Court of Appeals for the Western District. The Court of Appeals has set a schedule that would complete the parties’ briefing by November 2016. Briefing will likely be followed by oral argument, which has not yet been scheduled.

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, 2015, which are incorporated herein by reference. There have not been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

ITEM 2.     UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On October 26, 2015, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $3 billion of our outstanding common stock. During May 2016, the Company repurchased 9,361,000 shares of its common stock beneficially owned by affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. at a purchase price of $80.12 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on May 10, 2016, less a discount of 1%. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we also repurchased 15,066,500 shares of our common stock at an average price of $73.51 per share through market purchases, resulting in total repurchases of 24,427,400 shares of our common stock at an average price of $76.04 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 pursuant to the $3.0 billion share repurchase program authorized during October 2015. At June 30, 2016, we had $746 million of repurchase authorization available under the October 2015 authorization.

The following table provides certain information with respect to our repurchases of common stock from April 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016 (dollars in millions, except per share amounts).
