For purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, “earnings” have been computed by adding fixed charges, excluding capitalized interest, to pre-tax income from consolidated continuing operations including income from noncontrolling interests and our share of pre-tax (loss) income from 50%, or greater than 50%, owned unconsolidated affiliates which have fixed charges, and including our share of distributed operating income from less than 50% owned unconsolidated affiliates. There are generally no restrictions on our ability to receive distributions from our joint ventures where no preference in favor of the other owners of the joint venture exists. “Fixed charges” consist of interest costs, whether expensed or capitalized, the interest component of rental expenses, losses on extinguishment of debt, and amortization of debt issuance costs.
