For purposes of this computation, earnings are defined as pretax earnings from continuing operations

before adjustment for minority interest and equity losses in entities with oil and gas properties, plus interest expense, and amortization of debt discount and expense related to indebtedness.  Fixed charges are interest expense, including amortization of debt discount and expenses on indebtedness.

 

Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $113.0 million, $138.9 million and $118.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
