(1) Income Statement amounts have been adjusted for discontinued operations.
(2) Excludes income or loss from equity investees.
(3) CPG follows FASB ASC Topic 980, Regulated Operations, and therefore does not add amortization of capitalized interest or subtract interest capitalized in determining earnings, nor reduces fixed charges for Allowance for Funds Used During Construction.
(4) Preferred dividends, as defined by SEC regulation S-K, are computed by dividing the preferred dividend requirement by one minus the effective income tax rate applicable to continuing operations.
