For purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of income (loss) before income tax expense, less net income (loss) from equity method investments plus fixed charges. Fixed charges for these purposes consist of interest expense and a portion of rentals, reflecting one-third of net rental expense, deemed representative of the interest component of the rental expense. These ratios are presented both including and excluding interest on deposits.
