(1) Fixed charges consist of interest expense on all indebtedness reported for GAAP, plus $2.6 million, $5.9 million, and $3.8 million relating to the underlying interest charge on repurchase agreements accounted for as a component of linked transactions for the years ended December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively. Due to ASU 2014-11 being effective as of January 1, 2015, the Company is required to separately account for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, and as a result, no interest expense relating to the underlying interest charges on repurchase agreements accounted for as a component of linked transactions was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015. Additionally, fixed charges consist of $6.0 million, $13.2 million, $22.3 million, $27.9 million and $10.0 million relating to the net periodic interest settlements of interest rate swaps for the years ended December 31, 2016, December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively. Fixed charges also consist of $0.5 and $0.6 million of interest expense relating to investments held through affiliated entities, exclusive of our investment in AG Arc, at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. We had an immaterial amount of interest expense relating to investments held through affiliated entities at December 31, 2014. We had no such interest expense for any of the years ended December 31, 2013, or December 31, 2012.
