(1) For the year ended December 31, 2012, consolidated net income included $52 million of restructuring and other charges, a $6 million gain related to adjustments from our 2011 divestitures and a $20 million charge related to legal matters. For the year ended December 31, 2011, consolidated net income included a $68 million gain related to the disposition of certain assets and liabilities of our exhaust business and a $53 million gain recorded for the disposition of certain assets and liabilities of our light-duty filtration business, both from the Components segment, and a $38 million gain related to flood damage recoveries from the insurance settlement related to a June 2008 flood in Southern Indiana. For the year ended December 31, 2010, consolidated net income included $32 million in Brazil tax recoveries and $2 million in flood damage expenses.
(2) The interest amount in the table above does not include interest expense associated with uncertain tax positions. In September 2013, we issued $1 billion of senior unsecured debt.
(3) Amounts represent those portions of rent expense that are reasonable approximations of interest costs.
(4) We have not issued preferred stock. Therefore, the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends are the same as the ratios presented above.
