We did not have any preferred stock or preference stock outstanding and we did not pay or accrue any preferred stock or preference stock dividends during the periods presented above. Accordingly, our ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preference stock dividends are the same as those presented in the table of ratios of earnings to fixed charges set forth above for each of the respective periods presented.
