(1)Protective Life calculates the ratio of “Consolidated Earnings to Fixed Charges” by dividing the sum of income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax (BT), interest expense (which includes an estimate of the interest component of operating lease expense) (I) and interest credited on investment products (IP) by the sum of interest expense (I) and interest credited on investment products (IP).   The formula for this ratio is: (BT+I+IP)(I+IP).  Protective Life continues to sell investment products that credit interest to the contract holder.  Investment products include products such as guaranteed investment contracts, annuities, and variable universal life interest credited insurance policies.  The inclusion of interest credited on investment products results in a  negative impact on the ratio of earnings to fixed charges because the effect of increases in interest credited to contract holders more than offsets the effect of the increase in earnings.

 

(2)Protective Life calculates the ratio of “Consolidated Earnings (Losses) to Fixed Charges Before Interest Credited on Investment Products” by dividing the sum of income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax (BT) and interest expense (I) by interest expense (I).  The formula for this calculation, therefore, would be: (BT+I)/I.

 

(3)For the year ended December 31, 2008, additional income required to achieve a 1:1 ratio coverage was $154.6 million.
