(1) For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $692.5 million and $1.3 billion, respectively, primarily due to non-cash impairments of proved oil and gas properties of $576.5 million and $1.2 billion, respectively.

We had no preferred stock outstanding for any historical period presented (although preferred stock was issued on August 10, 2017), and accordingly, the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends is the same as the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for those historical periods.
