    Total inventories$449.7  $490.7  $559.3  

The significant reduction in inventories from May 4, 2019 to May 2, 2020 primarily reflects an increase of $135.0 million in inventory markdown reserves as of May 2, 2020 mainly at the Plus Fashion and Kids Fashion segments, which follow the retail-method of accounting for inventory. The reserve increase was a result of the retail store closures due to COVID-19. Refer to Note 3 to the audited financial statements included in the Fiscal 2019 10-K for more information on the Company’s accounting for inventory.
