Ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock |
1.0x | 2.5x | 2.6x | 2.5x | 3.3x | 4.2x |
The calculation of the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock is above. Earnings consist of net investment income before fixed charges. Fixed charges and dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock consist of interest expense on borrowings, amortization of deferred financing costs and discounts, dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, and the portion of operating lease expense that represents interest. The portion of operating lease expense that represents interest is calculated by dividing the amount of rent expense, allocated to us by our Administrator as part of the administration fee payable under the Administration Agreement, by three.
