* Ratio not provided due to deficiency in the period.

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing total fixed charges into income (loss) before income tax expense and equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates plus fixed charges less capitalized interest. Fixed charges include, as applicable interest expense, amortization of debt issuance costs, the estimated interest component of rent expense (calculated as one-third of net rent expense).
