In computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are defined as income from continuing operations before income taxes, adjusted for minority interest in income or loss of subsidiaries, undistributed earnings and losses of affiliates, and fixed charges exclusive of capitalized interest. Fixed charges consist of interest on borrowings and that portion of rentals deemed representative of the interest factor.
