(1) The earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, the adjustments to earnings related to the Auto Businesses and total capital employed are adjusted in accordance with the terms of the short-term incentive compensation plan.
(2) Non-cash restructuring-related and asset impairment costs and goodwill impairment are added back to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and adjusted capital employed to more closely reflect cash earnings and the total capital investment used to generate those earnings.
(3) Interest expense is added back to earnings because it is included as a component of the capital charge.
(4) Adjusted after tax profit represents earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, non-cash restructuring-related and asset impairment costs, the non-cash goodwill impairment charge and interest expense, after tax. The tax rate applied is the effective tax rate on continuing operations before the non-cash goodwill impairment charge, which was 33.8%, 34.7% and 33.5% in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The difference between the fiscal year 2011 effective tax rate on continuing operations before the non-cash goodwill impairment charge and the effective tax rate on continuing operations of 49.0% is (16.0)% related to the non-deductible non-cash goodwill impairment charge and 0.8% for other tax effects related to excluding this charge.
