For purposes of computing the consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges, "earnings" consist of income before income taxes plus fixed charges. "Fixed charges" consist of interest on borrowings, interest within rent expense, and preferred dividends (where applicable). In addition, where indicated, fixed charges includes interest on deposits.
Preferred stock dividend amounts have been grossed up to compute the pre-tax income equivalent assuming an estimated 35% tax rate.
