Exhibit 12.1
RATIO OF EARNINGS (DEFICIT) TO FIXED CHARGES
The following table sets forth our ratios of earnings (deficit) to fixed charges for the periods indicated. We have calculated the ratio of earnings (deficit) to fixed charges by dividing the sum of income from continuing operations plus fixed charges by fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense. You should read these ratios in connection with our consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in the prospectus. The financial measures used in this table may not be comparable to similarly titled financial measures used in our various agreements, including our revolving credit facility and the indenture that governs our outstanding senior notes.
