(1) For purposes of computing our ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of our pre-tax income from continuing operations plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expensed, plus an estimate of the interest within rental expense. Fixed charges exclude interest associated with uncertain tax positions, which is recorded within income tax expense.
