For purposes of computing these ratios, earnings have been calculated by adding fixed charges (excluding preferred stock dividends and capitalized interest) to pretax income from continuing operations before adjustment for minority interest in income of consolidated partnership or equity in income of unconsolidated ventures plus distributions from equity investee. Fixed charges consist of interest costs, whether expensed or capitalized, preferred stock dividend requirements, the interest component of rental expense, if any, and amortization of debt discounts and issue costs, whether expensed or capitalized.
