n/m - not meaningful As a result of the Company's net loss in 2001, Anadarko's earnings did not cover fixed charges by $599 million and did not cover combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends by $610 million. In 1998, Anadarko's earnings did not cover fixed charges by $90 million and did not cover combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends by $101 million. These ratios were computed by dividing earnings by either fixed charges or combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends. For this purpose, earnings include income before income taxes and fixed charges. Fixed charges include interest and amortization of debt expenses and the estimated interest component of rentals. Preferred stock dividends are adjusted to reflect the amount of pretax earnings required for payment.
