Inventories valued on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis totaled $5,051 million and $3,443 million at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The estimated excess of current replacement cost over LIFO cost of inventories amounted to approximately $4.5 billion and $4.9 billion at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. Certain planned reductions in inventory that are not expected to be replaced by the end of the year cause liquidations of LIFO inventory values.
