Inventories, net as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, were comprised of the following:

(In millions)	2021		2020

	$	510	$	462

In 2021, we recorded charges of $29 million for write-downs of mill stores and other supplies principally, due to the announcement on December 16, 2021, of the indefinite idling of pulp and paper operations at the Calhoun mill.

In 2020, we recorded charges of $25 million for write-downs of mill stores and other supplies due to the temporary idling of the Amos and Baie-Comeau paper mills. The mills were indefinitely idled in March 2021.

In 2019, we recorded charges of $13 million for write-downs of mill stores and other supplies due to the indefinite idling of the Augusta paper mill.

These charges were included in “Cost of sales, excluding depreciation, amortization and distribution costs” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
