(1) 
Income from continuing operations reflects the amount presented on our consolidated income statements and is after-tax and inclusive of income attributable to noncontrolling interests and equity affiliates' income. Fiscal year 2018 includes a net income tax expense of $239.0 resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of which $206.5 impacted our income tax provision and $32.5 impacted equity affiliates' income. Fiscal year 2017 includes business restructuring and cost reduction actions of $151.4 ($109.3 attributable to Air Products, after-tax) and a goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge of $162.1 ($154.1 attributable to Air Products, after-tax). Fiscal year 2015 includes business restructuring and cost reduction actions of $180.1 ($132.9 after-tax). Fiscal year 2014 includes a goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge of $310.1 ($275.1 attributable to Air Products, after-tax).
(2) 
Fiscal year 2018 includes $32.5 of expense resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Fiscal year 2017 does not adjust for the impact of an other-than-temporary impairment of our investment in an equity affiliate.
(3) 
We are party to certain debt guarantees of equity affiliates. Since we have not been required to satisfy the guarantees, nor is it probable that we will, interest expense related to the guaranteed debt is not included in fixed charges.
(4) 
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is determined by dividing earnings, as adjusted, by fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest on all indebtedness (continued and discontinued operations) plus that portion of operating lease rentals representative of the interest factor (deemed to be 21% of operating lease rentals).
