* | During these periods, we had no outstanding shares of preferred stock. Therefore, the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 is not different from the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for those periods. |
For purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings represent income before income taxes, plus fixed charges, less ournon-controlling interest in income before income taxes of subsidiaries that have not incurred fixed charges. Fixed charges include interest expense.
