For purposes of computing the ratios of earnings to fixed charges, “earnings” consist of earnings from continuing operations before income taxes plus fixed charges, excluding capitalized interest. “Fixed charges” consist of interest incurred on indebtedness including capitalized interest, amortization of debt expenses and the portion of rental expense under operating leases deemed to be the equivalent of interest. The ratios of earnings to fixed charges are calculated as follows:
(earnings from continuing operations before income taxes)+(fixed charges)-(capitalized interest)
(fixed charges)
