Biggest changeExcluding the $189.0 million gain on the sale of our storage tanks business within Engineered Structures, operating costs increased 8.0%. Cost of revenues for Construction Products increased primarily due to inflationary-related cost increases, including diesel, cement, and process fuels and higher volumes from recently acquired businesses. Excluding the gain from the sale of the storage tanks business, operating costs for Engineered Structures increased primarily due to higher steel raw material prices. Cost of revenues for Transportation Products increased primarily due to increased steel component volumes and higher steel raw material costs in inland barges. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased primarily due to recent acquisitions, including the fair value mark up of long-lived assets. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 was 11.7% compared to 12.6% for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Operating costs for Construction Products increased primarily due to additional costs from recently acquired businesses, including the fair value markup of acquired inventory and long-lived assets, and a $21.8 million gain recognized on the sale of depleted land that was netted against operating costs in the prior period. Operating costs for Engineered Structures increased primarily due to higher volumes in our wind towers and utility structures businesses and increased costs from the acquired Ameron business. Operating costs for Transportation Products were substantially unchanged as higher barge volumes and the $21.6 million loss recognized on the sale of steel components were mostly offset by lower steel components volumes. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased due to recent acquisitions and organic growth investments. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 12.5% compared to 11.3% for the year ended December 31, 2023, driven by increased costs from recently acquired businesses and higher acquisition and divestiture-related transaction expenses. 2023 versus 2022 Operating costs increased 10.4%.
These costs were partially offset by a $5 million reduction in a holdback obligation owed on a previous acquisition. As a percent of revenues, cost of revenues decreased to 78.3% in current period, compared to 79.7% in the prior period. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 6.6%, driven by additional costs from recently acquired businesses.

Depletion of mineral reserves is calculated based on estimated reserves using the units-of-production method on a quarry-by-quarry basis. Intangible assets, primarily consisting of customer relationships and permits, are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.
The quantitative goodwill impairment test is assessed at the “reporting unit” level by comparing the reporting unit's estimated fair value with the carrying amount of its net assets. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.
Goodwill Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis whenever events or circumstances change indicating that the carrying amount of the goodwill might be impaired. The quantitative goodwill impairment test is assessed at the “reporting unit” level by comparing the reporting unit's estimated fair value with the carrying amount of its net assets.
