(1) Due to ArcelorMittal’s pretax loss in 2012, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. ArcelorMittal would have needed to generate additional earnings of $5,218 million to achieve a coverage of 1:1 for 2012.
(2) In 2013 and 2014, ArcelorMittal’s pretax results were not enough to reach a ratio of 1:1; ArcelorMittal would have needed to generate additional earnings of $1,725 million and $302 million to achieve a coverage of 1:1 for 2013 and 2014, respectively.

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. Earnings represent consolidated pretax income from continuing operations before adjustment for non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries, less income allocable to non-controlling interests in consolidated entities that have not incurred fixed charges, fixed charges, and undistributed earnings of equity investees. Equity investees are investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Fixed charges include interest expensed and capitalized, the interest portion of rental obligations, amortized premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness. Amounts were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
