(1) | The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is calculated by dividing the sum of earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, equity in earnings (loss) from non-consolidated investments and fixed charges, by fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expenses, capitalized interest and imputed interest on our leased obligations. For fiscal years 2011 and 2013, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $4.0 million and $25.9 million, respectively. For fiscal year 2012, 2014, and 2015 the ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 1.1, 1.4,and 2.0, respectively. |
