Potential Impact of COVID-19 on our Business
Our Engineered Structures and Transportation Products segments operate in cyclical industries. Additionally, results in our Construction Products segment are affected by weather and seasonal fluctuations with the second and third quarters historically being the quarters with the highest revenues.
As of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021, and June 30, 2021, our unsatisfied performance obligations, or backlog, were as follows:
•Revenues increased by 17.0% and 19.2% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
•Revenues from Engineered Structures increased primarily due to increased pricing in all product lines driven by higher steel prices.
•Revenues from Transportation Products increased primarily due to increased deliveries in steel components.
(1) Depreciation, depletion, and amortization are components of operating costs.
•Operating costs increased by 12.8% and 16.1% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
•Cost of revenues for Construction Products increased primarily due to higher volumes, higher fuel prices, and other inflationary-related increases.
•Cost of revenues for Engineered Structures increased primarily due to higher steel prices.
•Cost of revenues for Transportation Products increased primarily due to higher steel component volumes and higher steel costs in inland barges.
•Depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased primarily due to recent acquisitions, including the fair value mark up of long-lived assets.
•Operating profit increased by 82.7% and 69.6% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
•Operating profit in Construction Products increased primarily due to higher volumes.
•Operating profit in Engineered Structures increased primarily due to higher revenues and improved margins in our utility and related structures businesses.
•Operating profit in Transportation Products increased primarily due to higher volumes in steel components.

Other, net (income) expense consists of the following items:
(1) Depreciation, depletion, and amortization are components of operating profit.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2021
•Operating profit increased 57.0% driven by increased volumes, and the reduction in amortization of the fair value mark up of inventory in the previous year.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
