(1)     Fixed charges consist of primarily interest expense, as defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, on our repurchase agreements.
(2) 
There were no shares of preferred stock outstanding prior to 2014, therefore, there are no amounts for preferred stock dividends included in the above calculations.
