(1)          The fiscal year ended February 3, 2013 includes 53 weeks. All other fiscal years reported include 52 weeks.

 

(2)          For the purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes plus fixed charges.  Fixed charges include cash and non-cash interest expense, whether expensed or capitalized, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of the THD Guarantee and the portion of rental expense representative of the interest factor.  The THD Guarantee refers to The Home Depot Inc.’s guarantee of our payment obligations for principal and interest of the 2007 Term Loan under the 2007 Senior Secured Credit Facility. The THD Guarantee was terminated in the April 2012 refinancing transactions.

 

(3)          For fiscal years ended February 1, 2015, February 2, 2014, and February 3, 2013, our earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $2 million, $205 million, and $1,113 million, respectively.
