(1)
As defined in Item 503 (d) of Regulation S-K.
(2)
Preferred stock dividends represents the pre-tax earnings that would be required to cover such dividend requirements.
(3)
For purposes of the "earnings" computation, other adjustments include adding the amortization of capitalized interest and subtracting interest capitalized and income attributable to non-controlling interests.
(4)
The appropriate portion of rental expense (generally one-third) deemed representative of the interest factor.
(5)
For purposes of the "fixed charges" computation, other adjustments include capitalized interest costs.
(6)
Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2012 were inadequate to cover fixed charges and preferred stock dividends. Additional earnings of $354.5 million would have been needed to bring both the ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends and the ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends, excluding interest on deposits, to 1.0.
(7)
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends, excluding interest on deposits, is being provided as an additional measure to provide comparability to the ratios disclosed by all other issuers of debt securities.
