(1)

Only fixed charges that were deducted from income from continuing operations before income taxes should be added back in the earnings computation.

(2)

Interest capitalized during the period is deducted because fixed charges include all interest, whether capitalized or expensed.

(3)

Interest expense includes amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and excludes realized and unrealized gains or losses on interest rate financial instruments that are reported as interest expense.

(4)

On July 1, 2016, we sold our Climate Control Business and its operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

(5)

Preferred stock dividends include the accretion of the carrying value of preferred stock, when applicable.

(6)

For 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges and combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends.

(7)

The amount of amortization of capitalized interest for 2015 has been adjusted by $220,000 relating to amortization previously incorrectly excluded from the computation.
