LIFO – the last-in, first-out method – applies to major inventory products held at our U.S. locations. The FIFO – the first-in, first-out method – or moving average cost methods apply to the balance of our U.S. raw material and product inventories, all material and supply inventories and all foreign inventories. If we used FIFO for all LIFO inventories, our stated inventories would have been higher by $79 million as of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018.
