(1) For the purposes of computing these ratios: (i) earnings means pre-tax income from continuing operations before fixed charges and amortization of capitalized interest less capitalized interest and (ii) fixed charges means the sum of interest expensed and capitalized plus the portion of rental expense which we believe represents an interest factor. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012, earnings were not adequate to cover fixed charges by $656, $761 million, $751 million, $422 million and $120 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, earnings were not adequate to cover fixed charges by $85 million and $188 million, respectively.
