1 The shortfall in the earnings available for fixed charges to achieve a ratio of earnings to fixed charges of 1.00 amounted to $36.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and non-controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2015 includes a pre-tax loss of $167.5 million due to the write-off of regulatory disallowances and restructuring costs. If those losses were excluded, the Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges would have been 2.48 for 2015.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2 Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and non-controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes a pre-tax loss of $1.1 million due to the write-off of regulatory disallowances. If those losses were excluded, the Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges would have been 2.61 for 2014.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
3 Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and non-controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes a pre-tax loss of $12.2 million due to the write-off of regulatory disallowances. If those losses were excluded, the Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges would have been 2.70 for 2013.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
4 Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and non-controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes a pre-tax loss of $17.5 million due to the write-off of regulatory disallowances. If that loss were excluded, the Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges would have been 2.33.
