(1)             For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, “earnings” consists of pre-tax income from continuing operations before income from equity investees plus fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest), distributed income of equity investees and amortization of capitalized interest. “Fixed charges” represents interest incurred (whether expensed or capitalized), amortization of debt expense (including discounts and premiums relating to indebtedness) and the portion of rental expense on leases deemed to be the equivalent of interest.

 

(2)             Includes interest costs attributable to borrowings for hedged inventory purchases of $7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $30 million, $12 million, $20 million, $17 million and $11 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

(3)             Ratios may not recalculate due to rounding.
