⁽¹⁾: HP computed the ratio of earnings to fixed charges by dividing earnings (earnings before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and taxes, adjusted for fixed charges, non-controlling interests in the income of subsidiaries with fixed charges and undistributed earnings or loss of equity method investees) by fixed charges for the periods indicated. Fixed charges include (i) interest expense on borrowings and amortization of debt discount or premium on all indebtedness and other, and (ii) a reasonable approximation of the interest factor deemed to be included in rental expense.
