(1) Represents earnings related to the Company’s investments in unconsolidated affiliates.
(2) Interest expense, net does not include interest relating to liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which the Company records as a component of income tax expense.
(3) Due to the Company’s losses during fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1 in each of those periods. The Company would have needed to generate additional earnings of $937.2 million, $488.9 million, $558.3 million and $1,380.2 million during fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively, in order to achieve a coverage ratio of 1:1 during those periods.
