The three and nine months ended 2015 and 2014 has been calculated to properly reflect the breakout of noncontrolling interest between continuing and discontinued operations during the respective periods. The diluted earnings per share calculation excludes 25.2 million depositary shares that were anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Additionally, the diluted earnings per share calculation excludes 0.1 million shares and 0.2 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, and 0.5 million shares and 0.9 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, related to equity plan awards that would have been anti-dilutive.
