Methodology and excluded metrics
  • Fiscal calendar: HCA Healthcare, Inc. operates on a calendar fiscal year ending December 31 (Q1 ends Mar 31, Q2 ends Jun 30, Q3 ends Sep 30, Q4 ends Dec 31). Latest reported company period: Q3 2026 (ended September 30, 2026, filed October 27, 2026 on Form 8-K Item 2.02) for all Operating Statistics, Same-Facility metrics, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, and headline financial statements; Q2 2026 (ended June 30, 2026, filed July 28, 2026 on Form 10-Q) for 10-Q footnote disclosures (Payor Source breakdown, Uncompensated Care, Segment EBITDA/OpEx, Average Daily Census, and Days Revenues in Accounts Receivable); and Full-Year FY2025 (ended December 31, 2025, filed February 10, 2026 on Form 10-K and March 13, 2026 on DEF 14A).
  • Bed & Occupancy Definition Change (Q1 2021): Beginning in the FY2020 Q4 / FY2021 Form 8-K and Form 10-K (with comparative FY2019 recast), HCA transitioned its capacity utilization metric from Weighted Average Licensed Beds to Weighted Average Beds in Service (and Occupancy Rate based on Weighted Average Beds in Service, including observation patients). Both the current Beds in Service series (FY2019–FY2026Q3) and legacy Licensed Beds occupancy series (FY2014–FY2020Q3) are preserved.
  • Geographic Operating Groups (Group 4): HCA manages and reports its U.S. hospital network across three geographic operating groups — American Group (66 hospitals in Q2 2026), Atlantic Group (64 hospitals), and National Group (53 hospitals) — plus Corporate and Other (including 7–8 international hospitals in England). Segment Adjusted EBITDA and segment expense breakdowns (Salaries & benefits, Supplies, Other operating expenses) are extracted from Note 12 (Segment and Geographic Information) XBRL tags.
  • Parent-Company Standalone Evaluation (Step 3): HCA Healthcare, Inc. is a holding company with no standalone parent-company operating revenue ($0 direct patient revenue; all hospitals and surgery centers are operated by consolidated subsidiaries and partnerships). Therefore, Consolidated − Standalone subtraction does not apply.
  • Strict Step 4 & Step 5 Compliance: Every cell displays an exact point figure published by HCA Healthcare or official external industry sources (CMS Medicaid Enrollment Reports, Census QSS/BLS/BEA via FRED, SEC XBRL hospital peer filings), plus permitted period splits (Q4 = full year − nine months and quarterly flow = year-to-date − prior quarter year-to-date, marked in italics with formula).
