Inventories accounted for using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method approximated 62% and 57% of total inventories as of 2025 and 2024 year end, respectively. The company accounts for its non-U.S. inventory on the FIFO method. As of 2025 year end, approximately 40% of the company’s U.S. inventory was accounted for using the FIFO method and 60% was accounted for using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. The liquidation of LIFO inventory did not have a significant impact on our results of operations in any period presented.
