4.2

 
For purposes of computing this ratio, “loss” or “earnings” consist of income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes, one-third of rents (deemed by Hospira to be representative of the interest factor inherent in rents), interest expense and amortization of capitalized interest.  “Fixed charges” consist of one-third of rents, interest expense and interest capitalized.

* Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2013, were inadequate to cover fixed charges. For the year ended December 31, 2013, additional earnings of $137.3 million would have been required to make the ratio 1.0x.
