The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing pre-tax income from continuing operations, less income or loss from equity investments, plus fixed charges, amortization of capitalized interest and distributed income of equity investees, less capitalized interest, by fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, including interest expense from amortized premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses relating to indebtedness, plus an estimate of the rental expense deemed by us to be representative of the interest factor of rental payments under the operating leases.
