  (1) For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $27.0 million.

For purposes of calculating these ratios, earnings consist of pre-tax income from continuing operations and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expensed and capitalized; amortized premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to debt; and estimated interest within rental expense.
