(1)
Includes non-cash impairment on goodwill and long-lived assets of $1,134 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
(2)
Earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges by $761 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
(3)
No preferred units were outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, or 2013. No historical ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred unit distributions are presented for these years.

For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are defined as pre-tax income or loss from continuing operations before earnings from equity method affiliates, plus fixed charges, plus amortization of capitalized interest, plus distributed earnings from equity method affiliates, plus noncontrolling interest in pre-tax loss of subsidiaries, less capitalized interest, less noncontrolling interest in pre-tax income of subsidiaries. Fixed charges consist of interest expensed, capitalized interest, amortization of deferred loan costs and an estimate of the interest within rental expense.
