Inventories stated on the LIFO basis represent 21% and 15% of total inventories at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Reductions in certain inventory quantities during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 resulted in liquidations of LIFO inventories carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years. The effect of LIFO liquidations during 2014 were inconsequential to changes in cost of sales or net income. The effect of LIFO liquidations during 2013 reduced cost of sales by $2.1 million and increased net income by $1.4 million.
