The Company had no preferred stock outstanding for any period presented, and accordingly, the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends is the same as the ratio of earnings to fixed charges.
 
(2)
Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by approximately $339.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 due primarily to a non-cash impairment charge.
