2 | Interest accrued on uncertain tax positions is excluded from Interest Expense in the computation of Fixed Charges. |
3 | The portion of rental expense that is representative of the interest factor in these rentals. |
4 | Earnings for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2016 included a $530 million non-cash impairment charge related to the investment in the Australia joint venture with Woolworths Limited. Excluding this charge from the calculation would result in a ratio of earnings to fixed charges of 7.9 for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2016. |
