Default Real Delta IV Cost?

According to it's press release, Boeing's recent $835 million
Delta IV write-off covered 24 contracted launches, meaning
(as I understand it) that the company was loosing an average of
$34.8 million on each launch. The original EELV contract for
Delta IV was 19 launches for $1.88 billion, including $500
million for research and development, or an average of $99
million for each launch. Does this mean that an average
Delta IV mission really costs $99 million + $34.8 million =
$133.8 million?
