As described in more detail below, these increases in profitability were predominantly a result of improved operating performance within our United States construction segments, due to a more favorable mix of work and better project execution, including enhanced productivity, due in part to investments in virtual design and construction, prefabrication, and automation. Operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 included incremental acquisition contribution of $9.2 million and $23.5 million, respectively, net of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $12.5 million and $23.0 million, respectively.

Operating income of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment was $157.6 million, or 11.8% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $88.6 million, or 11.1% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Operating income of this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $293.7 million, or 12.1% of revenues, compared to $180.2 million, or 11.5% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Operating income and operating margin of this segment for both 2025 periods benefited from greater gross profit and gross profit margin due to an increase in revenues, excellent project execution, and a more favorable mix of work. While the most significant increase in gross profit was generated within the network and communications market sector, this segment additionally experienced increases within the majority of the other market sectors in which we operate, generally in line with the revenue trends described above. Largely driven by Miller Electric, this segment's operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 included incremental acquisition contribution of $9.8 million and $21.8 million, respectively, net of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $11.4 million and $19.4 million, respectively.
Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment's operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $238.7 million, or 13.6% of revenues, compared to operating income of $213.4 million, or 12.9% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Operating income of this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $425.5 million, or 12.8% of revenues, compared to $364.2 million, or 11.8% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Similar to our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment, this improved performance for both 2025 periods was a result of greater gross profit and gross profit margin due to an increase in revenues, excellent project execution, and a more favorable mix of work. From a market sector perspective, this segment also experienced greater profitability across a number of the sectors in which we operate, with the most significant increase in gross profit coming from network and communications. This segment's operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included incremental acquisition contribution of $2.3 million, net of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $2.1 million. Partially offsetting this increased profitability was a decrease in gross profit from the commercial market sector, primarily as a result of the reduced revenues previously referenced.
Operating income of our United States building services segment was $50.0 million, or 6.3% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $46.8 million, or 6.0% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Operating income of this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $86.5 million, or 5.6% of revenues, compared to $80.3 million, or 5.1% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. For both 2025 periods, this segment's mechanical services division continued to produce strong margins across its portfolio of HVAC retrofits, building automation and controls projects, and repair service work orders. Headwinds faced in this segment's commercial site-based services and government site-based services divisions, given the loss of the previously referenced facilities maintenance contracts, partially offset such profitability during the first six months of 2025. The results of this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included an $11.0 million reserve for a specific customer bankruptcy within its commercial site-based services division, which negatively impacted the segment's operating margin by 70 basis points in such prior year period.
