(1)   For purposes of this ratio, earnings are based on income from continuing operations before income taxes and before fixed charges. Income from continuing operations before income taxes is adjusted for noncontrolling interests of partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and for earnings and dividends of investments accounted for on the equity method. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, capitalized interest and one-third of rent expense (excluding contingent rent expense), which approximates the interest factor of such rent expense.
