(1) During the periods indicated, we had no outstanding shares of preferred stock. Accordingly, our historical ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends is the same as our ratio of earnings to fixed charges in all periods presented.
(2) We computed the ratio of earnings to fixed charges by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, earnings consist of income (loss) before income taxes plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, including the estimated interest portion of lease rental expense.
(3) Due to our loss before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for each of those periods was less than 1:1. We required additional earnings of $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, $35.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 to achieve a coverage ratio of 1:1.
