  (2) One-third of operating lease expense is the portion deemed representative of the interest factor.
  (3) Based on rounded thousands.
  (4) The ratio coverage in the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and the six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was less than 1:1. We would have needed to generate additional earnings of $14.9 million. $77.2 million, $8.3 million and $10.3 million in the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and in the six months ended September 2017 and 2016, respectively, to achieve a coverage of 1:1.
