(a)
The financial information for the the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013 includes the results of The DCP Midstream Business, which we acquired from DCP Midstream, LLC on January 1, 2017. This transfer of net assets between entities under common control was accounted for as if the transfer occurred at the beginning of the period, and prior years were retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information similar to the pooling method.
(b)
Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2015 were inadequate to cover fixed charges by $998 million.
(c)
No preferred units were outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013. No historical ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred distributions are presented for these years.

For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are defined as pretax income or loss from continuing operations attributable to partners before earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, plus fixed charges, plus amortization of capitalized interest, plus distributed earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, less capitalized interest. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, capitalized interest, amortization of deferred loan costs, and an estimate of the interest within rental expense.
