RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

 

For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges and the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends, earnings consist of earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and income or loss from equity investees, plus fixed charges and distributed income of equity investees, less interest capitalized. Combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends consist of fixed charges and preferred stock dividends declared.
