Otonomy, Inc
Statement Regarding the Computation of Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges
The following table sets forth our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, 2015. As the ratios of earnings to fixed charges indicate less thanone-to-one coverage for each of the periods presented, we have provided the coverage deficiency amounts for these periods. Earnings consist of (i) loss from continuing operations before income taxes, and (ii) fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of an estimate of the interest portion of rent expense. Amounts shown are in thousands except the ratio.
