(1)
Income from continuing operations before income taxes does not include income or loss from investments accounted for under the equity method.
(2)
Includes the portion of operating lease rental expense that is representative of the interest factor (deemed to be one-third of operating lease rentals).
(3)
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing (a) income from continuing operations before income taxes plus fixed charges by (b) fixed charges.
The Company has not provided a ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends because the Company does not have any preferred stock outstanding.
