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 $86$94 million and $81$83 million for the quarters ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $180 million and $164 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Operating results for the quarter and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our annual report on Form
 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Revenues
Our revenues generally relate to contracts with patients in which our performance obligations are to provide health care services to the patients. Revenues are recorded during the period our obligations to provide health care services are satisfied.
Our performance obligations for inpatient services are generally satisfied over periods that average approximately five days,
, and revenues are recognized based on charges incurred in relation to total expected charges.
Our performance obligations for outpatient services are generally satisfied over a period of less than one day
. The contractual relationships with patients, in most cases, also involve a third-party payer (Medicare, Medicaid, managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies, including plans offered through the health insurance exchanges) and the transaction prices for the services provided are dependent upon the terms provided by (Medicare and Medicaid) or negotiated with (managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies) the third-party payers. The payment arrangements with third-party payers for the services we provide to the related patients typically specify payments at amounts less than our standard charges. Medicare generally pays for inpatient and outpatient services at prospectively determined rates based on clinical, diagnostic and other factors. Services provided to patients having Medicaid coverage are generally paid at prospectively determined rates per discharge, per identified service or per covered member. Agreements with commercial insurance carriers, managed care and preferred provider organizations generally provide for payments based upon predetermined rates per diagnosis, per diem rates or discounted
fee-for-service
rates. Our revenues for the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 include $86 million related to the resolution of transaction price differences regarding certain
out-of-network
services performed in prior periods. Management continually reviews the

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenues (continued)
Our revenues are based upon the estimated amounts we expect to be entitled to receive from patients and third-party payers. Estimates of contractual allowances under managed care and commercial insurance 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 estimated implicit price concessions (based primarily on historical collection experience) related to uninsured accounts to record
self-pay
revenues at the estimated amounts we expect to collect. Our revenues from third-party payers and others (including uninsured patients) for the quarters and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and 2018 are summarized in the following table (dollars in millions):

To quantify the total impact of the trends related to uninsured accounts, we believe it is beneficial to view total uncompensated care, which is comprised of charity care, uninsured discounts and implicit price concessions.

NOTE 2 — ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
During the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, we paid $1.398$1.397 billion to acquire a
seven
-hospital health system in North Carolina and $76$107 million to acquire other nonhospital health care entities. During the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2018, we paid $360 million to acquire a hospital facility and $19$178 million to acquire other nonhospital health care entities. Purchase price amounts have been allocated to the related assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values. The purchase price paid in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets of these acquired entities aggregated $207$201 million for the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the acquired entities subsequent to the respective acquisition dates. The pro forma effects of these acquired entities on our results of operations for periods prior to the respective acquisition dates were not significant.
During the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, we received proceeds of $25 million and recognized a net pretax loss of $
1
$1 million related to a sale of a hospital facility in one of our Louisiana markets. During the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, we also received proceeds of $5$16 million and recognized a net pretax gain of $18 million related to sales of real estate and other investments. During the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2018, we received proceeds of $758 million and recognized a net pretax gain of $376$372 million related to the sale of the two hospital facilities in our Oklahoma market. During the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2018, we also received 
proceeds of $9$41 million and recognized a net pretax gain of $29$42 million related to sales of real estate and other investments.

NOTE 3 — INCOME TAXES
Our provision for income taxes for the quarters ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $279$271 million and $257$272 million, respectively, and the effective tax rates were 21.2%25.7% and 18.4%24.9%, respectively. Our provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $550 million and $529 million, respectively, and the effective tax rates were 23.2% and 21.2%, respectively. Our provision for income taxes included tax benefits related to the settlement of employee equity awards of $49$
4
 million for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and $
53
 million and $92$96 million for the quarterssix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Our liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $457$510 million, including accrued interest of $53$60 million, as of March 31,June 30, 2019 ($435 million and $48 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2018). Unrecognized tax benefits of $143$153 million ($137 million as of December 31, 2018) would affect the effective rate, if recognized.
The Internal Revenue Service began an examination of the Company’s 2016 and 2017 federal income tax returns during 2019. We are also subject to examination by 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 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 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 March 31,June 30, 2019 (dollars in millions):

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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 7 — ASSETS AND LIABILITIES MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE (continued)
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.
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.
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,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we determined the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives.

NOTE 8 — LONG-TERM DEBT (continued)
During June 2019, we used the proceeds to temporarily reduce the balance under the asset-based revolving credit facility. During July 2019, we redeemed all $600 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior secured notes due 2019, all $3.000 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior secured notes due 2020 and all $1.350 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior secured notes due 2022. Pretax losses on retirement of debt totaling $211 million for these redemptions will be recognized during the quarter ending September 30, 2019.
NOTE 9 — LEASES
We adopted ASU No.
 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842)
, which requires leases with durations greater than 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet, effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. Prior period financial statement amounts and disclosures have not been adjusted to reflect the provisions of the new standard. We elected the package of transition provisions available which allowed us to carryforward our historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs.
We lease property and equipment under finance and operating leases. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, we record the related
right-of-use
assets and
right-of-use
obligations at the present value of lease payments over the term. Many of our leases include rental escalation clauses and renewal options that are factored into our determination of lease payments when appropriate. We do not separate lease and nonlease components of contracts.
Generally, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement, as most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate.

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

Adjusted segment EBITDA is defined as income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, losses (gains)gains on sales of facilities, 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

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 court challenges to, any repeal of, or changes to, the Health Reform Law or additional 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 of 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, (23) the impact of natural disasters, such as hurricanes and floods, or similar events beyond our control, (24) the effects of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), including potential legislation or interpretive 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, 2018 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.

FirstSecond Quarter 2019 Operations Summary
Revenues increased to $12.517$12.602 billion in the firstsecond quarter of 2019 from $11.423$11.529 billion in the firstsecond quarter of 2018. Net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc. totaled $1.039 billion,$783 million, or $2.97$2.25 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2019, compared to $1.144 billion,$820 million, or $3.18$2.31 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2018. FirstSecond quarter results for 2019 revenues include $86 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, related to the resolution of transaction price differences regarding certain
out-of-network
services performed in prior periods. First quarterand 2018 results include net gains on sales of facilities of $405$18 million, or $0.85 per diluted share. Our provision for income taxes for the first quarters of 2019 and 2018 included tax benefits of $49 million, or $0.14$0.04 per diluted share, and $92$9 million, or $0.26$0.02 per diluted share, respectively, related to employee equity award settlements.respectively. All “per diluted share” disclosures are based upon amounts net of the applicable income taxes. Shares used for diluted earnings per share were 350.316348.373 million shares for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and 359.749355.039 million shares for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2018. During 2018 and the first quartersix months of 2019, we repurchased 14.070 million shares and 2.1064.034 million shares of our common stock, respectively.
Revenues increased 9.6%9.3% on a consolidated basis and increased 6.3%4.3% on a same facility basis for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2019, compared to the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2018. The increase in consolidated revenues can be primarily attributed to the combined impact of a 4.6%3.0% increase in revenue per equivalent admission and a 4.8%6.2% increase in equivalent admissions. The same facility revenues increase primarily resulted from the combined impact of a 4.4%1.7% increase in same facility revenue per equivalent admission and a 1.8%2.6% increase in same facility equivalent admissions.
During the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2019, consolidated admissions and same facility admissions increased 3.0%4.8% and 0.9%2.1%, respectively, compared to the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2018. Surgeries increased 2.9%2.7% on a consolidated basis and 0.7%0.3% on a same facility basis during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2019, compared to the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2018.

The declineincrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily related to the net impact of an increase in net income, excluding gains and losses on sales of facilities, of $305 million and negativepositive changes of $709$468 million related to working capital items.
Results of Operations
Revenue/Volume Trends
Our revenues generally relate to contracts with patients in which our performance obligations are to provide health care services to the patients. Revenues are recorded during the period our obligations to provide health care services are satisfied. Our performance obligations for inpatient services are generally satisfied over periods that average approximately five days, and revenues are recognized based on charges incurred in relation to total expected charges. Our performance obligations for outpatient services are generally satisfied over a period of less than one day. The contractual relationships with patients, in most cases, also involve a third-party payer (Medicare, Medicaid, managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies, including plans offered through the health insurance exchanges) and the transaction prices for the services provided are dependent upon the terms provided by (Medicare and Medicaid) or negotiated with (managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies) the third-party payers. The payment arrangements with third-party payers for the services we provide to the related patients typically specify payments at amounts less than our standard charges. Medicare

determined rates per discharge, per identified service or per covered member. Agreements with commercial insurance carriers, managed care and preferred provider organizations generally provide for payments based upon predetermined rates per diagnosis, per diem rates or discounted
fee-for-service
rates. Management continually reviews the contractual estimation process to consider and incorporate updates to laws and regulations and the frequent changes in managed care contractual terms resulting from contract renegotiations and renewals.
Revenues increased 9.6%9.3% from $11.423$11.529 billion in the firstsecond quarter of 2018 to $12.517$12.602 billion in the firstsecond quarter of 2019. Our revenues are based upon the estimated amounts we expect to be entitled to receive from patients and third-party payers. Estimates of contractual allowances under managed care and commercial insurance 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 estimated implicit price concessions (based primarily on historical collection experience) related to uninsured accounts to record
self-pay
revenues at the estimated amounts we expect to collect. Our revenues from third-party payers and others (including uninsured patients) for the quarters and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and 2018 are summarized in the following table (dollars in millions):

To quantify the total impact of the trends related to uninsured accounts, we believe it is beneficial to view total uncompensated care, which is comprised of charity care, uninsured discounts and implicit price concessions. A summary of the estimated cost of total uncompensated care for the quarters and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and 2018 follows (dollars in millions):

At March 31,June 30, 2019, we had 9291 hospitals in the states of Texas and Florida. During the firstsecond quarter of 2019, 56% of our admissions and 48% of our revenues were generated by these hospitals. Uninsured admissions in Texas and Florida represented 70%72% of our uninsured admissions during the firstsecond quarter of 2019.
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 December 2017, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) announced that it will phase out federal matching funds for Designated State Health Programs under waivers granted under sectionSection 1115 of the Social Security Act. Texas currently operates its Healthcare Transformation and Quality Improvement Program pursuant to a Medicaid waiver. In December 2017, CMS approved an extension of this waiver through September 30, 2022, but indicated that it will phase out some of the federal funding. Our Texas Medicaid revenues included Medicaid supplemental payments of $108$106 million and $98$97 million during the second quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $214 million and $195 million during the first quarterssix months of 2019 and 2018, 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 some states have made requests to CMS to replace their existing supplemental payment programs. It is possible these reviews and 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.

Equity in earnings of affiliates was $19 million and $16 million in the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization increased $140 million, from $1.115 billion in the first six months of 2018 to $1.255 billion in the first six months of 2019. The increase in depreciation relates to both acquired facilities and increased capital expenditures at our existing facilities.
Interest expense was $938 million in the first six months of 2019 and $867 million in the first six months of 2018. Our average debt balance was $34.520 billion for the first six months of 2019 compared to $33.160 billion for the first six months of 2018.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased from $138$284 million for the first quartersix months of 2018 to $142$286 million for the first quartersix months of 2019. The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests related primarily to one of our Texas markets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $974 million$2.971 billion in the first quartersix months of 2019 compared to $1.283$2.865 billion in the first quartersix months of 2018. The $309$106 million declineincrease in cash provided by operating activities in the first quartersix months of 2019 compared to the first quartersix months of 2018 related primarily to the net impact of an increase in net income, excluding gains and losses on sales of facilities, of $305$257 million and an increase in depreciation expense of $140 million, offset by negative changes of $709$241 million related to working capital items. The primary component of the negative working capital change was the payment of $428 million during the first quarter of 2019 to fund the 2018 401(k) Company match. The combined interest payments and net tax payments in the first quarterssix months of 2019 and 2018 were $590 million$1.433 billion and $560 million,$1.284 billion, respectively. Working capital totaled $577 million$3.908 billion at March 31,June 30, 2019 and $2.644 billion at December 31, 2018. The $2.067 billion decline in working capital primarily related to a $3.008 billion increase in long-term debt due within one year.
Cash used in investing activities was $2.165$3.113 billion in the first quartersix months of 2019 compared to $335 million$1.315 billion in the first quartersix months of 2018. Acquisitions of hospitals and health care entities increased from $379$538 million in the first quartersix months of 2018 to $1.474$1.504 billion in the first quartersix months of 2019, primarily related to an acquisition of a seven-hospital health system in North Carolina. Excluding acquisitions, capital expenditures were $781 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $694 million in the first quarter of 2018. Capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, are expected to approximate $3.7 billion in 2019. At March 31, 2019, there were projects under construction which had estimated additional costs to complete and equip over the next five years of approximately $3.6 billion. We expect to finance capital expenditures with internally generated and borrowed funds. Cash received from disposals of hospitals and health care entities declined $737 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily related to the receipt of $758 million in 2018 from the sale of the two hospital facilities in our Oklahoma market.
Cash provided by financing activities totaled $1.216$1.745 billion in the first quartersix months of 2019 compared to cash used in financing activities of $611 millionand $1.574 billion in the first quartersix months of 2018. During the first quarter of 2019, net cashCapital

expenditures, excluding acquisitions, are expected to approximate $3.7 billion in 2019. At June 30, 2019, there were projects under construction which had estimated additional costs to complete and equip over the next five years of approximately $3.4 billion. We expect to finance capital expenditures with internally generated and borrowed funds. Cash received from disposals of hospitals and health care entities declined $758 million for the first six months of 2019 compared to the first six months of 2018 primarily related to the receipt of $758 million in 2018 from the sale of the two hospital facilities in our Oklahoma market.
Cash provided by financing activities totaled $2.070 billion in the first six months of 2019 compared to cash used in financing activities of $1.408 billion in the first six months of 2018. During the first six months of 2019, net cash flows provided by financing activities included a net increase of $1.911$3.313 billion in our indebtedness, payments of cash dividends of $141$278 million, repurchases of common stock of $278$520 million, and distributions to noncontrolling interests of $136$247 million and payments of debt issuance costs of $63 million. During the first quartersix months of 2018, net cash flows used in financing activities included a net increase of $220$109 million in our indebtedness, payment of cash dividends of $123$245 million, repurchases of common stock of $423$893 million and distributions to noncontrolling interests of $92$185 million.
We are a highly leveraged company with significant debt service requirements. Our debt totaled $34.815$36.193 billion at March 31,June 30, 2019. Our interest expense was $461$938 million for the first quartersix months of 2019 and $431$867 million for the first quartersix months of 2018.
In addition to cash flows from operations, available sources of capital include amounts available under our senior secured credit facilities ($2.2335.732 billion and $2.243$2.712 billion available as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and April 30,July 31, 2019, respectively) and anticipated access to public and private debt markets.
During January 2019, we issued $1.500 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes comprised of $1.000 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.875% notes due 2029 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% notes due 2028. We used the net proceeds to fund the purchase of a s
even-hospital
seven-hospital health system located in western North Carolina.
During June 2019, we issued $5.000 billion aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes comprised of $2.000 billion aggregate principal amount of 4 1/8% notes due 2029, $1.000 billion aggregate principal amount of 5 1/8% notes due 2039 and $2.000 billion aggregate principal amount of 5 1/4% notes due 2049. During June 2019, we used the proceeds to temporarily reduce the balance under the asset-based revolving credit facility. During July 2019, we redeemed all $600 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior secured notes due 2019, all $3.000 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior secured notes due 2020 and all $1.350 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior secured notes due 2022. Pretax losses on retirement of debt totaling $211 million for these redemptions will be recognized during the quarter ending September 30, 2019.
Investments of our professional liability insurance subsidiaries, to maintain statutory equity and pay claims, totaled $428$455 million and $409 million at March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. An insurance subsidiary maintained net reserves for professional liability risks of $171$176 million and $183 million at March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Our facilities are insured by a 100% owned insurance subsidiary for losses up to $50 million per occurrence; however, this coverage is generally subject, in most cases, to a $15 million per occurrence self-insured retention. Net reserves for the self-insured professional liability risks retained were $1.568$1.597 billion and $1.509 billion at March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Claims payments, net of reinsurance recoveries, during the next 12 months are expected to approximate $459$454 million. We estimate that approximately $415$412 million of the expected net claim payments during the next 12 months will relate to claims subject to the self-insured retention.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
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 our 100% owned insurance subsidiaries were $428$455 million at March 31,June 30, 2019. 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,June 30, 2019, we had a net unrealized gain of $11$17 million on the insurance subsidiaries’ investments.
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.

Market Risk (continued)
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 $4.777 billion of long-term debt at March 31, 2019 was subject to variable rates of interest, while the remaining balance in long-term debt of $30.038 billion at March 31, 2019 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% or (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 was 5.5% and 5.3% for the quarterssix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The estimated fair value of our total long-term debt was $36.602$38.773 billion at March 31,June 30, 2019. 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 $48$45 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.
We are exposed to currency translation risk related to our foreign operations. We currently do not consider the market risk related to foreign currency translation to be material to our consolidated financial statements or our liquidity.

Tax Examinations
The Internal Revenue Service began an examination of the Company’s 2016 and 2017 federal income tax returns during 2019. We are also subject to examination by 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.

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.
Texas operates a state Medicaid program pursuant to a waiver from CMS under Section 1115 of the Social Security Act (“Program”). The Program includes uncompensated-care pools; payments from these pools are intended to defray the uncompensated costs of services provided by our and other hospitals to Medicaid eligible or uninsured individuals. Separately, we and other hospitals provide charity care services in several communities in the state. TheWe believe that our participation is and has been consistent with the requirements of the Program. In 2018, the Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas have requested information about whether the Program, as operated in Harris County, compliescomplied with the laws and regulations applicable to provider related donations. Thedonations, and the Company is cooperatingcooperated with thisthat request. We believe that our participation isOn May 21, 2019, a

lawsuit asserting violations of the FCA and the Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act related to the Program, as operated in Harris County, was unsealed by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. Both the federal and state governments declined to intervene in the

lawsuit, and the Company has not yet been consistentserved with the requirements of the Program. However, at this time, wecomplaint. We cannot predict what effect, if any, the request or resulting claims under the federal FCA, other statutes, regulations or laws,
