(1)         For purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings were calculated by adding (i) earnings from continuing operations, (ii) interest expense, net, including the portion of rents representative of an interest factor, (iii) amortization of debt issue costs and capitalized interest, (iv) distributions from equity investments and (v) capitalized interest. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, net, amortization of debt issue costs, and the portions of rents representative of an interest factor.

(2)         Earnings for 2015 were inadequate to cover fixed charges by $118.1 million.
