(1) |
Adjusted earnings in 2016 of $717.0 million include the $132.8 million of pretax non-cash asset impairment charge related to our Minnesota ironmaking and OmniSource operations. Without the impact of this non-cash asset impairment charge, 2016 would reflect adjusted earnings of $849.8 million and a ratio of earnings to fixed charges of 5.72x. |
(2) |
Adjusted losses in 2015 of ($81.0) million are not sufficient to cover fixed charges by $235.4 million. Adjusted losses in 2015 include $428.5 million of pretax non-cash asset impairment charge related to OmniSource goodwill, trade name, property and plant, and other assets. Without the impact of this non-cash impairment charge, 2015 would reflect adjusted earnings of $347.5 million and a ratio of earnings to fixed charges of 2.20x. |
(3) |
Adjusted earnings in 2014 of $309.3 million include $260.0 million of pretax non-cash asset impairment charge related to Minnesota ironmaking operations property, plant, and equipment. Without the impact of this non-cash asset impairment charge, 2014 would reflect adjusted earnings of $569.3 million and a ratio of earnings to fixed charges of 4.07x. |
For purposes of calculating our ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, extraordinary items and before adjustment for noncontrolling interests, adjusted for the portion of fixed charges deducted from the earnings, plus amortization of capitalized interest. Fixed charges consist of interest on all indebtedness, including capitalized interest, and amortization of debt issuances costs.
