(1) Other interest expense includes amortization of debt issuance costs
For purposes of these ratios, “earnings” consist of income from continuing operations before income taxes and fixed charges, and “fixed charges” consist of interest expense on indebtedness and the interest component of rental expense, and amortization of debt discount and issuance expenses.
We did not have any preferred stock outstanding for the periods presented above, and therefore the ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends would be the same as the ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges presented above.
