(a)
Note: Had we been a stand-alone company for the full year 2014, and had the same level of debt throughout the year as we did on December 31, 2014, of approximately $6.4 billion, we would have incurred $314 million of pre-tax interest expense, on a pro-forma basis, for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the $72 million pre-tax interest expense reported on our statement of operations for the year then ended. Therefore, the insufficient coverage on a pro-forma basis would have been approximately $2,437 million.
(b)
The nine months ended September 30, 2016 amount includes non-cash, unusual and infrequent items consisting of $793 million of net gain on the early extinguishment of debt, $243 million of non-cash derivative losses on outstanding hedges, a $31 million gain from asset divestitures, a $12 million interest charge for the write-off of deferred debt costs and $33 million of other non-recurring charges. Excluding these items, our loss before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 would have been approximately $258 million. Therefore, the insufficient coverage would have been approximately $261 million. The nine months ended September 30, 2015 amount includes non-cash, unusual and infrequent items consisting of $72 million of severance and early retirement costs, $33 million of non-cash derivative gains and $6 million of other non-recurring charges. Excluding these items, our loss before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 would have been approximately $392 million. Therefore, the insufficient coverage would have been approximately $400 million.
(c)
The year ended December 31, 2015 amount includes non-cash, unusual and infrequent items consisting of $4.9 billion of asset impairments, $71 million of write-down of certain assets, $67 million of early retirement and severance costs, $11 million of rig termination and other costs and $8 million of debt transactions costs, partially offset by $52 million of non-cash derivative gains. Excluding these items, our loss before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2015 would have been approximately $519 million. Therefore, the insufficient coverage would have been approximately $528 million. The December 31, 2014 amount includes non-cash, unusual and infrequent items consisting of $3.4 billion of asset impairments, $52 million of rig termination and other price-related costs, and $55 million of Spin-off and transition related costs. Excluding these items, our income before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2014 would have been approximately $1.1 billion, and the ratio of earnings to fixed charges would have been 15.
(d)
The 2014 ratio takes into consideration interest on the debt associated with the Spin-off which we entered into during the last half of 2014.
