[1] During the fourth quarter of 2014, we changed the method of valuing our inventories that used the LIFO method to the FIFO method, so that all of our inventories are now valued at FIFO. We applied this change in accounting principle retrospectively. Accordingly certain previously reported financial information has been revised. See Note 1, “Organization and Basis of Presentation-Changes in Accounting/Retrospective Application” for additional details regarding this accounting policy change.
