implementation of sequestration spending reductions required under the Budget Control Act of 2011, related legislation extending these reductions, and those that may be required under the Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 as a result of the federal budget deficit impact of OBBBA, 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, (5) the ability to achieve operating and financial targets, develop and execute resiliency plans to offset to the extent possible impacts from OBBBA, the scheduled expiration of EPTCs and tariffs, attain expected levels of patient volumes and revenues, and control the costs of providing services, (6) possible reductions or other changes in Medicare, Medicaid and other state programs, including Medicaid supplemental payment programs, Medicaid waiver programs and state directed payment arrangements, any of which may negatively impact reimbursements to health care providers and insurers and the size of the uninsured or underinsured population, (7) increases in the amount and risk of collectability of uninsured accounts and deductibles and copayment amounts for insured accounts, (8) personnel-related capacity constraints, increases in wages and the ability to attract, utilize and retain qualified management and other personnel, including affiliated physicians, nurses and medical and technical support personnel, (9) the highly competitive nature of the health care business, (10) 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, (11) the efforts of health insurers, health care providers, large employer groups and others to contain health care costs, (12) the outcome of our continuing efforts to monitor, maintain and comply with appropriate laws, regulations, policies and procedures, (13) the availability and terms of capital to fund the expansion of our business and improvements to our existing facilities, (14) changes in accounting practices, (15) the emergence of and effects related to pandemics, epidemics and outbreaks of infectious diseases or other public health crises, (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) the impact of known and unknown government investigations, litigation and other claims that may be made against us, (21) the impact of actual and potential cybersecurity incidents or security breaches involving us or our vendors and other third parties, (22) our ongoing ability to demonstrate meaningful use of certified electronic health record technology and the impact of interoperability requirements, (23) the impact of natural disasters, such as hurricanes and floods, including Hurricanes Milton and Helene, physical risks from changing global weather patterns or similar events beyond our control on our assets and activities and the communities we serve, (24) changes in U.S. federal, state, or foreign tax laws, interpretations of tax laws by taxing authorities, other standard setting bodies or judicial decisions, (25) the results of our efforts to use technology and resilience initiatives, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, to drive efficiencies,

Securities and Exchange Commission.

These non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted to exclude losses (gains) on sales of facilities and losses on retirement of debt. We believe net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc., as adjusted, diluted earnings per share, as adjusted, and Adjusted EBITDA are important measures that supplement discussions and analysis of our results of operations. We believe it is useful to investors to provide disclosures of our results of operations on the same basis used by management. Management relies upon net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc., as adjusted, diluted earnings per share, as adjusted, and Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measures to review and assess operating performance of its health care facilities and their management teams. Management and investors review both the overall performance (including net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc., as adjusted, diluted earnings per share, as adjusted, and GAAP net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc.) and operating performance (Adjusted EBITDA) of our health care facilities. Adjusted EBITDA and the Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues) are utilized by management and investors to compare our current operating results with the corresponding periods during the previous year and to compare our operating results with other companies in the health care industry. It is reasonable to expect that adjustments, including losses (gains) on sales of facilities and losses on retirement of debt will occur in future periods, but the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period, do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our health care facilities and complicate period comparisons of our results of operations and operations comparisons with other health care companies. Net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc., as adjusted, diluted earnings per share, as adjusted, and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc. as a measure of operating performance or cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Because net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc., as adjusted, diluted earnings per share, as adjusted, and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc., as adjusted, diluted earnings per share, as adjusted, and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

(b) Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We believe Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure that supplements discussions and analysis of our results of operations. We believe it is useful to investors to provide disclosures of our results of operations on the same basis used by management. Management relies upon Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess operating performance of its health care facilities and their management teams. Management and investors review both the overall performance (including net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc.) and operating performance (Adjusted EBITDA) of our healthcare facilities. Adjusted EBITDA is utilized by management and investors to compare our current operating results with the corresponding periods during the previous year and to compare our operating results with other companies in the health care industry. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc. as a measure of operating performance or cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Which Companies Hold the Most Bitcoin, and Should You Invest in Them? Let's Dive Into the Motley Fool's Latest Crypto Research
Key Points Financial institutions, corporations, and Bitcoin treasury companies are rapidly amassing Bitcoins. Bitcoin treasury companies have shown the potential to outperform Bitcoin over long periods. While there are a variety of different ways to get exposure to Bitcoin, investing directly may make the most sense for long-term investors. 10 stocks we like better than Bitcoin › The global ownership of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is a lot more concentrated than many people realize. According to a new Motley Fool research report ("Who Holds the Most Bitcoin?"), a relatively small number of financial institutions, corporations, governments, and super-rich individuals now hold a surprisingly large percentage of Bitcoin's total circulating supply of almost 20 million coins. This trend has only accelerated in 2025 as financial institutions hoover up the coins for their spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF) offerings and deep-pocketed Bitcoin treasury companies buy as many Bitcoins as they can possibly get their hands on. But are any of these companies actually worth investing in? The rise of the Bitcoin treasury company Let's start with the corporations that are stockpiling Bitcoins on their balance sheets. These fall into roughly three categories: Bitcoin treasury companies; blockchain companies that need Bitcoins for their daily operations (think: Bitcoin miners); and S&P 500 companies such as Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) and Block (NYSE: XYZ). Of these, the most interesting are the Bitcoin treasury companies, simply because they are going all-in on Bitcoin in a way that the world has never seen before. The business model of a Bitcoin treasury company is surprisingly simple: Raise as much money from investors as cheaply as you can, and then go out and buy Bitcoin. The number of Bitcoins that these companies are buying is truly impressive. As of July 14, when the Motley Fool research report came out, Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) held 597,325 Bitcoins on its balance sheet. That makes Strategy (the company formerly known as MicroStrategy) the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoins. Its ownership represents nearly 3% of all Bitcoins in circulation. Strategy now holds more Bitcoins than the U.S. government and the Chinese government combined. There are smaller Bitcoin treasury companies making their way up the list, too. For example, Metaplanet (OTC: MTPL.F), a Japanese company that's mimicking Strategy, holds 13,350 Bitcoins on its balance sheet. Galaxy Digital (NASDAQ: GLXY), the Canadian that's doing the same thing as Strategy, holds 12,830 Bitcoins on its balance sheet. A newly launched company, Twenty One Capital (NASDAQ: CEP), now holds 37,230 Bitcoins on its balance sheet, with plans to buy many more. Financial institutions At the same time, financial institutions such as BlackRock (NYSE: BLK), Fidelity, and Grayscale are amassing huge numbers of Bitcoins for their spot Bitcoin ETFs. Right now, BlackRock is the clear leader, thanks to the phenomenal success of its iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ: IBIT) ETF. BlackRock now holds more bitcoins (700,000) than even Strategy. As long as net inflows into this ETF remain positive, BlackRock will be buying Bitcoin. But here's the key point to understand -- BlackRock is not buying for its own use; it is buying for the use of its clients. Clients buy shares in the ETF, and then BlackRock must go out on the spot crypto market and buy enough Bitcoins to back the ETF. But are any of these companies worth buying? There are now several different ways for investors to get exposure to Bitcoin. One way, of course, is to buy Bitcoins directly, via a cryptocurrency exchange. But you can also buy Bitcoins indirectly, by investing in Bitcoin treasury companies. Or you could purchase a spot Bitcoin ETF. But why settle for tracking Bitcoin's performance via an ETF? Strategy has proven that it can outperform Bitcoin, and that has led to a mad rush to embrace the Bitcoin treasury company model. During the past five years, for example, Strategy is up an astounding 3,500%. As you can see from the chart below, the divergence between the performance of Bitcoin and the price of Strategy started to become very noticeable in early 2024, which is when the new spot Bitcoin ETFs launched. Bitcoin / U.S. dollar chart by TradingView The caveat here, of course, is that the flip side of reward is risk. And Strategy may be taking on more risk than many investors are willing to accept. Essentially, Strategy is using debt and other forms of leverage. That works when the price of Bitcoin is rising, the cost of capital is relatively low, and market sentiment is positive. But all it takes is for the price of Bitcoin to drop, or for one of the new Strategy clones to blow up, and the business model could implode. The irrational, emotional side of my brain loves what the newfangled Bitcoin treasury companies are attempting to pull off. However, the rational, logical side of my brain feels different. The warning signs are everywhere for those willing to look. From my perspective, the best strategy is still to buy and hold Bitcoin for the long haul. Should you buy stock in Bitcoin right now?

Customers Bancorp Announces Executive Leadership Transition
Sam Sidhu to succeed Jay Sidhu as CEO WEST READING, Pa., July 25, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Customers Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: CUBI) announced today that Jay Sidhu, Chairman and CEO, will be retiring as CEO of the company and transitioning to the role of executive chairman effective January 1, 2026. The organization has appointed Sam Sidhu to succeed Jay Sidhu as CEO. Jay Sidhu will continue as executive chairman of both Customers Bancorp and Customers Bank and will remain on its Board of Directors. Jay Sidhu, 73, founded Customers Bank and Customers Bancorp by investing in a small Chester County, Pa.-based institution with a vision to build a forward-thinking, client-focused bank. Under Jay's leadership of Customers Bancorp, Customers Bank has become a top-performing national organization growing from a distressed bank with approximately $200 million in assets to over $22 billion in assets, without any material acquisitions. Today, the market cap of Customers Bancorp has grown to approximately $2 billion from the original $17 million investment to acquire a bank charter. This was driven by a belief that a forward thinking, innovative and client-focused approach executed by a high quality team can produce hundreds of millions of dollars in market value even in the banking sector. Jay and the team's entrepreneurial spirit and resulting successes have solidified Customers' culture and reputation as an innovative and forward-thinking bank. Prior to founding Customers, Jay was co-founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Sovereign Bank and Sovereign Bancorp Inc. During his 20-year career at Sovereign, he grew the organization from an IPO value of $12 million to the 17th largest banking institution in the U.S., with a market cap approaching $12 billion and achieving about 20% average annual returns for long-term shareholders. "As I look toward the future and consider retirement, the time has come for me to scale back my day-to-day involvement at Customers Bancorp. I know I can do so with immense pride in what we built and deep gratitude for the team, clients and communities who place their trust in us," said Jay Sidhu. "I look forward to continuing to work with the Board to provide strategic guidance while we continue to grow Customers as an innovative and sound bank that is built to last." "I have had the pleasure of working with Jay, one of the true visionaries of our industry, for over 30 years," said Customers Bancorp Lead Independent Director, Dan Rothermel, who was also the Lead Independent Director of Sovereign Bank. "Six years ago, the board initiated a selection process and chose Sam as a successor to the COO. It was one of the best decisions at the time, and we cannot be happier that he has been appointed CEO. We are thrilled with Sam's leadership style and couldn't be more pleased to have a thoughtful, strategic and dynamic leader step into Jay's shoes. Our best years are still ahead of us." Sam Sidhu, 41, will retain his titles as president of Customers Bancorp and president and chief executive officer of Customers Bank. He was named COO of Customers Bank in 2020, after serving on its board for eight years. Sam was then promoted to President and Chief Executive Officer of Customers Bank in July 2021. Under his leadership, the Bank has embraced technological advances and expanded the company's product offerings, services and markets; and doubled its assets while transforming its deposit franchise. These efforts have created significant value for shareholders, with the stock price increasing nearly 500% over the past five years. Prior to joining Customers Bank, Sam founded and served as CEO of Megalith Capital Management, a real estate-focused private equity firm. He previously worked in private equity with Providence Equity Partners and investment banking with Goldman Sachs. Sam holds a BA from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from the Harvard Business School. "It is an honor to receive this vote of confidence, and I look forward to working with our exceptional team and board of directors to constantly strive to delight our clients and produce above average returns for our shareholders," said Sam Sidhu. "As Customers Bank turns this important page, one thing remains unchanged: our relentless commitment to the people we serve and the entrepreneurial spirit that has defined us since day one." Institutional Background Customers Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:CUBI) is one of the nation's top-performing banking companies with over $22 billion in assets, making it one of the 80 largest bank holding companies in the U.S. Customers Bank's commercial and consumer clients benefit from a full suite of technology-enabled tailored product experiences delivered by best-in-class customer service distinguished by a Single Point of Contact approach.
