(1)“Earnings” is calculated by adding (a) pre-tax income from continuing operations; (b) fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest); and (c) amortization of capitalized interest.
(2)“Fixed Charges” means the sum of the following: (a) interest expensed and capitalized (excluding interest expense related to uncertain tax positions), (b) amortized premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness, and (c) an estimate of the interest within rental expense For the periods indicated above, we had no outstanding shares of preferred stock with required dividend payments. Therefore, the ratios of earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends are identical to the ratios presented in the table above.
