The above presentation reflects the adoption of authoritative guidance for consolidations, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary. The adoption of this guidance was retrospective and had no impact on the ratio of earnings to fixed charges in any of the periods presented.
