(1) The term “earnings” means the amounts resulting from the following: (a) our income before provision for income taxes, plus
(b) the minority interests in the income before provision for income taxes of our majority owned subsidiaries, plus (c) our fixed
charges, less (d) our share of our equity investee’s income before provision for income taxes.
(2) The term “fixed charges” means the amounts resulting from the following: (a) our interest expensed, plus (b) our interest
capitalized, plus (c) our estimate of the interest component of rent expense.
We do not report any shares of preferred stock outstanding in our consolidated financial statements because our outstanding preferred
stock is owned by one or more of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Consequently, our ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and
preferred dividends for any given period is equivalent to our ratio of earnings to fixed charges.
