| (a) | Note: Had we been a stand-alone company for the full year 2014, and had the same level of debt throughout the year as we did on December 31, 2014, of approximately $6.4 billion, we would have incurred $314 million of pre-tax interest expense, on a pro-forma basis, for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the $72 million pre-tax interest expense reported on our statement of operations for the year then ended. Therefore, the insufficient coverage on a pro-forma basis would have been approximately $2,437 million. |
| (b) | The six months ended June 30, 2016 amount includes non-cash, unusual and infrequent items consisting of $218 million of non-cash derivative losses and net $27 million of other non-recurring charges, offset by $133 million of gains on the retirement of our notes and $31 million of gains from asset divestitures. Excluding these items, our loss before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2016 would have been approximately $187 million. Therefore, the insufficient coverage would have been approximately $189 million. The six months ended June 30, 2015 amount includes non-cash, unusual and infrequent items consisting of $20 million of non-cash derivative losses and net $13 million of other non-recurring charges. Excluding these items, our loss before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2015 would have been approximately $250 million. Therefore, the insufficient coverage would have been approximately $256 million. |
| (c) | The year ended December 31, 2015 amount includes non-cash, unusual and infrequent items consisting of $4.9 billion of asset impairments, $71 million of write-down of certain assets, $67 million of early retirement and severance costs, $11 million of rig termination and other costs and $8 million of debt transactions costs, partially offset by $52 million of non-cash derivative gains. Excluding these items, our loss before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2015 would have been approximately $519 million. Therefore, the insufficient coverage would have been approximately $528 million. The December 31, 2014 amount includes non-cash, unusual and infrequent items consisting of $3.4 billion of asset impairments, $52 million of rig termination and other price-related costs, and $55 million of Spin-off and transition related costs. Excluding these items, our income before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2014 would have been approximately $1.1 billion, and the ratio of earnings to fixed charges would have been 15. |
| (d) | The 2014 ratio takes into consideration interest on the debt associated with the Spin-off which we entered into during the last half of 2014. |
