The $31 million increase is primarily attributable to (i) higher volumes particularly the first two months of the quarter; (ii) a $10 million charge primarily due to a decrease in the risk-free discount rate, which is based on the rate for U.S. Treasury bonds, used in the measurement of our environmental remediation obligations and recovery assets and (iii) one additional workday in the current year period, partially offset by lower cost of goods sold primarily driven by the decline in market prices for recycling commodities; Selling, general and administrative expenses were $425 million, or 11.4% of revenues, compared with $409 million, or 11.1% of revenues, in the prior year period.
Recycling Commodities - Decreases in the market prices for recycling commodities resulted in a revenue decline of $59 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared with the prior year period.
The following table summarizes the major components of our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31 (in millions of dollars and as a percentage of revenues): The increase in volumes in the current periods, as discussed above in Operating Revenues, in addition to cost inflation, affect the comparability of the components of our operating expenses.
This includes route optimization initiatives, reducing overtime hours, limiting 39 hiring and optimizing our workforce through improved retention and reduced turnover, reducing non-essential selling, general and administrative expenses, reducing incentive compensation costs and lowering capital expenditures to a level that is consistent with anticipated volume changes.
Risk Management - The increase in risk management costs was primarily due to an increase in claims expense as a result of growth in the business and cost inflation.
