Raw materials |  |  | 71,092 |  |  |  | 56,441 |
Total FIFO (first-in, first-out) inventories |  |  | 160,643 |  |  |  | 114,842 |
Reserve to adjust inventories to LIFO value |  |  | (36,467 | ) |  |  | (36,467 | )
Total LIFO inventories |  | $ | 124,176 |  |  | $ | 78,375 |
The Company utilizes the LIFO method of accounting related to its Trex Residential wood-alternative decking and residential railing products, which generally provides for the matching of current costs with current revenues. However, under the LIFO method, reductions in annual inventory balances cause a portion of the Company’s cost of sales to be based on historical costs rather than current year costs (LIFO liquidation). Reductions in interim inventory balances expected to be replenished by year-end do not result in a LIFO liquidation. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based, in part, on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs, which may differ from actual results. Since inventory levels and costs are subject to factors beyond management’s control, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. There were no LIFO inventory liquidations or related impact on cost of sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Inventories valued at lower of cost (FIFO method) and net realizable value were $7.9 million at, September 30, 2022, and $5.4 million at December 31, 2021, consisting primarily of raw materials. The Company utilizes the FIFO method of accounting related to its Trex Commercial products.
