(a) | The six months ended June 30, 2016 includes $563 million of net pre-tax gains related to the sale of certain generation facilities and $213 million in pre-tax impairment charges primarily related to the Bell Bend COLA. See Notes 8 and 13 to the Financial Statements for additional information. |
In 2015, $657 million non-cash, pre-tax goodwill and other long-lived asset impairment charges were recorded. See Note 16 to the Financial Statements in Talen Energy's 2015 10-K for additional information. As a result of these non-cash charges, earnings were lower in 2015, which resulted in less than one-to-one coverage. The adjusted amount of the deficiency, or the amount of fixed charges in excess of earnings, was $388 million.
To facilitate the sale of its hydroelectric generating facilities in 2014, in December 2013, Talen Montana terminated a lease agreement which resulted in a $697 million charge. See Note 6 to the Financial Statements in Talen Energy's 2015 10-K for additional information. As a result of these transactions, earnings were lower in 2014, which resulted in less than one-to-one coverage. The adjusted amount of the deficiency, or the amount of fixed charges in excess of earnings, was $469 million.
(b) | Interest on unrecognized tax benefits is not included in fixed charges. |
