For the year ended December 31, 2013, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $310.3 million. The deficiency included the effect of a pre-tax non-cash impairment, dry-hole costs and abandonment expense charge of $238.4 million. The deficiency was also partially due to a pre-tax unrealized loss on commodity hedges of $28.4 million.
