STATEMENT OF COMPUTATION OF RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

AND RATIO OF COMBINED FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS

 

The following table sets forth our ratio of earnings to fixed charges.  Our earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges and combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013. “Earnings” consist of net income (loss) from operations before income taxes and fixed charges. “Fixed charges” consist of interest expense and the portion of operating lease expense that represents interest. The extent to which earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges and combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for those periods is shown below. Amounts shown are in thousands except the ratio.
