(1) For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are defined as pre-tax earnings before income or loss from equity investees plus amortization of capitalized interest, distributed income of equity investees, and fixed charges less capitalized interest and net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Fixed charges consist of interest, whether capitalized or expensed, amortization of capitalized expenses related to indebtedness and the estimated interest portion of rent expense.
