For all periods presented, the operating results of our discontinued operations have been removed from continuing operations. We report these businesses separately as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Our discontinued operations relate to previous discontinued operations in our Automotive Finance operations, Insurance operations, and Corporate Finance operating segments, and other operations for which we continue to have wind-down, legal, and minimal operational costs. Refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our discontinued operations. All reported periods of the calculation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges exclude discontinued operations.
