Inventories

We value the majority of our inventories under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method and the remaining inventories at the lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost or market. Inventories include material, labor and overhead. LIFO cost of inventories valued using the LIFO method was $308.6 million as of December 31, 2009 and $363.7 million as of December 31, 2008. During 2009, a reduction in inventories related to working capital initiatives resulted in a liquidation of applicable LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs in prior years. This LIFO liquidation resulted in a $12.7 million cost of sales decrease, with a corresponding reduction of the adjustment to LIFO. We stated inventories at amounts that did not exceed realizable values. Total inventories were as follows:
