(1) Our ratios of earnings to fixed charges and our ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and tax-adjusted preferred stock dividends are calculated by dividing earnings by fixed charges and preference dividends, if any. For these purposes, earnings consist of pre-tax income (loss) from continuing operations plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, which includes amortization of debt issuance costs, plus one-third (the proportion deemed to be representative of the interest factor) of rent expense.
(2) The Company did not have any preferred stock outstanding for any of the periods presented.
(3) Our earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2013.
