For purposes of this presentation, earnings represent income from continuing operations before income taxes adjusted for fixed charges, earnings and distributions of equity investees. Income from continuing operations before income taxes includes Questar’s share of pretax earnings of equity investees. Fixed charges for both continuing operations and discontinued operations consist of total interest charges (expensed and capitalized), amortization of debt issuance costs and losses from reacquired debt, and the interest portion of rental expense estimated at 50%.
