$1,649 $— 
(a) The decrease in product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 is principally due to the liquidated damages and penalties on certain long-term contracts, as discussed below.
(b) The Company has allocated directly attributable transaction costs to discontinued operations.

The Company has retained corporate overhead expenses previously allocated to the former Harsco Rail Segment of $1.0 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021 as part of Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company's former Harsco Rail Segment is currently manufacturing highly-engineered equipment under large long-term fixed-price contracts with the SBB, the infrastructure manager for most of the railway in the U.K. ("Network Rail"), and the national railway company in Germany ("Deutsche Bahn"). As disclosed previously, in the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company recognized an estimated forward loss provision of $33.4 million related to these contracts. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company encountered continued delays and additional costs in the build of the machines. For the Network Rail contracts, the Company encountered additional supply chain delays in the build of the initial machine, and there were further changes to the production schedule based on the manufacturing experience gained from assembling the first unit during the quarter which had a cascading effect on the delivery schedule of remaining machines. As a result, the Company recorded a $24.2 million forward estimated loss provision for additional estimated contractual liquidated damages. The Company continues to negotiate with Network Rail regarding a reduction to these liquidated damages, which could result in additional favorable or unfavorable adjustments in future periods. For the Deutsche Bahn contract, on March 8, 2022 a European-based supplier of critical components to the project indicated it would be significantly late on the delivery of these components to the project, which has the impact of delaying the overall delivery schedule for the project. As a result, the Company recorded an additional $7.4
million estimated forward loss provision due principally to the estimated contractual penalties that would be triggered by this delay. For the second SBB contract, the Company recorded an additional $3.5 million forward estimated loss provision due to additional supply chain delays and cost overruns. The estimated forward loss provision represents the Company's best estimate based on currently available information. It is possible that the Company's overall estimate of liquidated damages, penalties and costs to complete these contracts may change, which would result in an additional estimated forward loss provision at such time.

The first contract with SBB is complete, and the second contract is 79% complete as of March 31, 2022. The contracts with Network Rail and Deutsche Bahn are 45% and 22% complete, respectively, as of March 31, 2022.
