COMPUTATION OF RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES AND RATIO OF EARNINGS TO
COMBINED FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED UNIT DISTRIBUTIONS
(in thousands, except ratios)
The following table sets forth our historical consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the periods indicated:
Year Ended December 31, | ||||||||||||||||||||
2016 | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 | 2012 | ||||||||||||||||
Net income (loss) attributable to Vanguard unitholders | $ | (815,089 | ) | $ | (1,883,174 | ) | $ | 64,345 | $ | 59,511 | $ | (168,815 | ) | |||||||

Net income (loss) before preferred unit distributions | $ | (815,007 | ) | $ | (1,883,174 | ) | $ | 64,345 | $ | 59,511 | $ | (168,815 | ) | |||||||
Fixed charges: | ||||||||||||||||||||
Interest including amortization of debt expense | $ | 95,367 | $ | 87,573 | $ | 69,765 | $ | 61,148 | $ | 41,891 | ||||||||||

Ratio of Earnings to Combined Fixed Charges and Preferred Unit Distributions(b) | — | — | 1.50 | 1.84 | — | |||||||||||||||
(a) | In the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2012, earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges by approximately $815.0 million, $1.9 billion and $168.8 million, respectively. The shortfall for the year ended December 31, 2016 was principally the result of non-cash goodwill and oil and natural gas property impairment charges of $252.7 million and $494.3 million, respectively. The shortfall for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2012 were principally the result of non-cash oil and natural gas property impairment charges of $1.8 billion and $247.7 million, respectively. |
(b) | Because no Preferred Units were outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2012, no historical ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred unit distributions is presented. |
For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, “earnings” consists of pretax income from continuing operations available to our unitholders plus fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest). “Fixed charges” represent interest incurred (whether expensed or capitalized), amortization of debt expense, and that portion of rental expense on operating leases deemed to be the equivalent of interest.
