Inventory Accounting Policy
Eli Lilly states all inventories at the lower of cost or market. Eli Lilly uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for the majority of inventories located in the continental United States, or approximately 45 percent of total inventories. Other inventories are valued by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. FIFO cost approximates current replacement cost.
