(1) | For purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings equals (a) earnings from continuing operations before income taxes plus (b) fixed charges. Fixed charges equals (x) interest expense plus (y) the portion of rental expense, which management believes is representative of the interest component of rent expense. The methodology for calculating the interest component of rent expense from prior years has been revised to reflect management's current view. |
