(1) Excludes income or loss from equity investees but includes any distributions received representing a return on capital.

(2) Fixed charges represent total interest expensed and capitalized, including interest on deposits, amortization of capitalized debt expenses as well as the interest component of rental expense.

(3) The ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred dividends were computed by dividing (x) income before income taxes plus fixed charges by (y) combined fixed charges and preferred dividends.

(4) Due to our losses in 2016, 2015 and 2014, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges was less than 1:1. We would have had to generate additional earnings of $206.4 million, $129.9 million and $445.9 million, respectively, to achieve coverage of 1:1.
