We have changed our previously issued consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 and consolidated statement of operations, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2015 for the correction of an immaterial error (see Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016).

Represents one-third of the total operating lease rental expense, which is that portion estimated to represent interest.

The ratios were less than 1:1 for the year ended March 31, 2016. NGL Energy Partners LP would have needed to generate an additional $199.3 million of earnings to achieve a ratio of 1:1.
